“Heather did an awesome job! She took really good care of my baby and went out of her way to build a bond with him. She sent daily pictures. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
About: I am available to care for your animals in your own home. I have many references of house sitting, as that is my speciality. I have experience with short stays of house sitting and have stayed lengthy times as long as five week stints. I have had animals my entire life since I was a little girl, and love being able to take care of animals when their owners leave for travel. I usually watch dogs and cats but also have experience with horses and reptiles. I treat your animals like I do my own, lots of snuggles, brushing and care. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and if they require medication I can administer that no problem. Please reach out with any questions!
“Thank you Lisa for taking care of my cat! She did an exceptional job - was very professional and communicated well. I strongly recommend her and will be contacting her again if I ever need a sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and have fostered several dogs over the years, giving me plenty of experience with different breeds and temperaments. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I offer overnight sitting, daily walks, and plenty of love and attention for your pets while you’re away. I’ve also cared for cats, including newborn kittens that needed nursing, so I’m comfortable providing specialized care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.
“Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!”
“Shayna responded quickly to my last minute drop in request when I had a cancelled flight home! She sent me plenty of pictures with my Bean looking so excited to see her so it was such a relief to know he was in great hands. Will be booking in the future!”
“Thomas is hands down the best dog caretaker I have ever used; truly appreciate the care he provides! There is always a sense of stress and worry when traveling and having to leave my fur child behind but we did a greet and meet beforehand and Thomas was amazing with my baby boy from the start! Thomas was very supportive, responsive and genuinely cared for Buddha while I was away; going above and beyond expectations and cared for the wellbeing of my dog. Words cannot express how thankful I feel but here’s a shot, THANK YOU THOMAS!”
“We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!”
“Brianna went above and beyond to care for and play with my fur babies. She communicated clearly and sent photos. It is such a relief to know your pets are in caring hands!”
“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”

We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!
Rachel is amazing! She always follows every instruction, gives great updates and pictures, and takes such wonderful care of our cats. They genuinely enjoy her company and her gentle, calm nature—they actually come out to see her, which says a lot! We always come home to happy, relaxed cats who don’t seem stressed that we were away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such caring hands. We couldn’t recommend Rachel more!
She was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even gave me little can toppers for their wet food, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Amy did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 cats for a week while we were out of the country. She provided detailed and timely updates, and was flexible with our schedule when we had a flight delay. Will definitely be booking Amy again when services are needed.
Christella was amazing! My cat can be a little shy and hide but Christella was patient and took the time to make my cat feel comfortable. I was gone for two weeks and received daily pictures of them playing, which made being away easier. She followed the instructions I left perfectly and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
