Rachel was very respondent to phone calls that I made to her and answering all my questions. She showed up when she was supposed to. And even made adjustments to fit my needs. Browser is not the easiest of me to get along with. But they seem to have bonded, which is a very good thing, because he's getting older, and I think it's a little bit harder for older dogs. I would recommend her to anyone who asked.

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!

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: Hi! My name's Olivia and I've been an animal person my whole life. I currently have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a turtle, and a tortoise! Pets are more than just animals, they're our best friends and an important part of our lives. I've been trusted by co-workers, friends, and family to care for their furry friends for a couple of years, giving them a peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well taken care of. My goal is to provide that same care to every pet entrusted in me! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which keeps me home and available locally most days. Since I already care for several pets, I'm well versed in daily animal routines and home management. My approach centers on consistency and respect for your pet’s boundaries. From precise dietary schedules to honoring their need for space, my goal is to keep their daily routine seamless and worry free while you're away.

About: Hi! I've been taking care of furry friends since I was 11! I’m kept on my toes by my 1 year old mini dachshund, Koda, who I've raised since he was a baby. I also have experience with senior care through my little old man, Hawkeye. I'm a current law student and young professional and I would love to help others who need some pet lovin’ worked into their busy schedules! There's no puppy too energetic, sleepy, or playful!! My pup has separation anxiety so I am very familiar with pets sometimes needing a bit of extra care. When your furry friend is with me, they will be my #1 priority and receive all of my attention and love! I'm currently in law school, and working part time, and would love to work with you to find how we can work pet care into our schedules! I have a fully fenced back yard, and gates that can be used inside my home. I have a friendly, if not sometimes shy, mini dachshund that loves playing with smaller dogs especially or just sleeping on the couch all day! We’re both comfortable with and enjoy any level of play.

Holly did an amazing job! This was my first time leaving my cat, Leo, alone and getting a pet sitter so I was a bit anxious. Holly did a great job…fed him, clean the litter box, played with him, and sent lots of photos. The written updates were very cute. I very much appreciated her presence and interaction with Leo. I’d definitely use her again.

Brittany was absolutely amazing! I have both a dog and a cat, and she took such great care of them. She arrived on time for every single check-in and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend with tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the last night, my AC unexpectedly went out, and Brittany immediately alerted me. She was incredibly helpful and was even able to get it turned back on for me. She also showed so much care and concern for my dog by turning on a fan and giving her some ice water since the house had gotten a little warm. Brittany was so kind, considerate, reliable, and attentive to both of my pets. She truly went above and beyond. She is hands down the best Rover sitter I’ve had, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Saint Petersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 3,316 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saint Petersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Petersburg. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
