“Julie & Brian took great care of Frankie! They were very sweet and communicated how he was doing and sent the sweetest pictures. They were able to handle giving him medicine for his health issues. He came home relaxed and calm, so I know he felt safe and comfortable being with them.”
“They are awesome! Sent photos and updates and really gave my puppy TLC. Let her sleep with them, they kept her busy, took her on walks. She was perfectly comfortable with them and looked great and fed amd clean when I picked her up. She's not even 6 months old so I was a nervous mommy, and they did a great job!”
“Leigh was incredible! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She kept me updated daily and truly cares about the animals she keeps. We will definitely be using Leigh again in the future! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Daniel was extremely flexible with our last minute request and went out of his way in every aspect. Will definitely use him again and recommend to all of our friends.”
“Billy was just great! He went the extra mile with my little dog, Gracie and I appreciate his kindness and attentiveness. He also kept me posted as to how she was doing. I would definitely book again with him. He really loves dogs and enjoys their company.”
“The reason why I give Linda a 5 star rating is because of these five main things: 1. The initial introduction and meeting with me and my dog at her home was extremely pleasant. Also, drop off and pick up was smooth. 2. Her home and area she lives in is very clean, quiet, and dog friendly. 3. Linda clearly has tons of pet care experience and loves pets. For example, she slept with our dog all night. 4. Our dog is older and needs special food and medicine, and Linda easily handled that. 5. Linda would send pictures often so we could see what our dog is doing. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Linda and will continue to book with her.”
“Brianna was literally AMAZING! She provided me with constant feedback and updates on my boy, and was super accommodating. My flight home was cancelled and she went above and beyond to rebook the accommodation to add an extra night so that I wasn’t stressing about someone in-town picking him up. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Couldn't ask for nicer folks! Lindsey and Casey are the best. I was at ease leaving my baby in their care. Lindsey was very communitive, and sent pictures of the dogs playing. Very thankful!”

Gaby was well taken care of and was treated like she was,at home while we were away. I would highly recommend Claire as she will certainly be our Rover choice again”
“Wonderful, accommodating sitters that made me feel so confident about leaving my high energy dog in their care! I got lots of updates and pictures and they even washed my dog’s favorite toy several times so she had a clean toy to play with! I would highly recommend boarding your dog with Lauren! I hope I get a chance to board my dog with them again!”
“Rachel was amazing in taking care of our cat. She sent bunch of pictures and videos. Our Osman was comfortable in her house, and we were happy knowing he is in good hands.”

She kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. When we picked them up, they were in great spirits and settled back home comfortably, which says a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and attention she gave them, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring place for their pets!”

“We had a great experience with him! He took amazing care of our american bulldog and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dog like one of his own. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!”

She is responsive and very reliable, and she obviously loves dogs. We feel completely comfortable with her caring for our pups when we travel.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
I can't recommend Adam and Kolin enough! This was my first time using Rover and boarding my dog, so I was pretty anxious, but they made the entire experience so easy. They were incredibly friendly, calming, and reassuring from the very beginning. I received frequent updates and photos, and they were always quick to communicate, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well loved and cared for during her stay. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
We had another wonderful experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated all of the updates and photos throughout the stay. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, happy, and getting lots of love and attention. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring Rover sitter!
Keeley was absolutely amazing with Taco! She watched him for a week, and Jay and I loved all the adorable pictures she sent. Leaving him behind is always the hardest part of traveling, but seeing how happy and well cared for he was gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, patient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire stay. We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough. We can’t wait to book with her again!
We had an amazing experience and couldn’t be more grateful! We found ourselves in a last-minute bind and were incredibly nervous about leaving our fur baby with a sitter for the first time. From the moment we reached out, Joshua was responsive, kind, and so accommodating to our last-minute boarding needs, which immediately helped put us at ease. The setup was welcoming and clearly designed with the dogs’ comfort and safety in mind. One of our favorite parts was receiving pictures and updates throughout our dog’s stay. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our fur baby was gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious Joshua genuinely care about the animals he looks after, and that level of care made all the difference. We are so thankful for the excellent communication, flexibility, and love showed our fur baby. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate place to board their dog!
Savannah took good care of Jumo. She is very knowledgeable, caring and loving towards dogs as Jumo seemed to be very accepting and comfortable — no nervousness or behavior problems reported. Out of town, I got pictures and reports of how Jumo was doing which made me feel at ease and comfortable that Jumo was being well cared for. I would recommend Savannah to anyone who needs to board their dog. 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Petersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Saint Petersburg sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saint Petersburg landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Petersburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Petersburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Saint Petersburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
