“Teri is amazing! I knew my senior dog was in the best of hands from the time we first communicated online. She wanted to make sure he had all his shots and even communicated with my vet with questions she had about him. Everyday Teri texted me with photos and videos of how he was doing. He is a 15 1/2 year old senior dog and this was his first experience at boarding with other dogs. So I was a little concerned how he would do in a new situation. However, I had full confidence that Teri could handle any situation that would come up. Teri is a wonderful, responsible dog sitter, Someone who will be truly dedicated to loving and taking care of your dog!”
“I always know Stitch is in good hands and has a great time when he stays with Julie & Bryan. Whenever we get out of the car in their driveway, he gets SO excited. He immediately wants to go explore their backyard. I also always get pictures too & that helps 😊 Thank you, Julie & Brian!!”
“Pepper's 1st overnight...she was shy at first but couldn't resist Brittany and Steve's belly rubs. Their home and personalities provided calm for my skittish pup. I would highly recommend this loving couple.”
“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.”
“Billy is absolutely great! We have never left our dog with a stranger so we were concerned about him, but it turns out they became best friends ! Billy sent me multiple messages and pictures giving us updates on him , that eased my worry I will recommend Billy to other clients he was the best and Buster , my husband and I are super pleased with this experience”
“Molly was amazing with my 12-week old puppy! Sent tons of pic/video updates, administered meds including foam when he was itching. She had her sweet Olive girl + other pups during the stay - Molly actively supervised play, had separate feedings, and ensured there was no resource guarding which put my mind at such ease. Tribe will only to Molly’s from now on!!”
“Poppy had the best time staying with Grace, I’m so thankful for the love she showed my baby girl. Pictures and videos throughout Poppy’s stay gave me peace of mind, I definitely recommend & already planning Poppy’s next stay ❤️”
“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!!”
“Claire was wonderful. Luna had such a good time and Claire was responsive and sent the best pictures! We have two other stays already planned and Luna can’t wait!”
“I felt very secure with Linda taking care of my dog over the weekend. My dog immediately took to her and was happy and affectionate towards her when he returned also. I know he got a lot of snuggle time which he needed.”
“Lauren was a great choice for our dog care and we truly felt my doggy was in great hands and care .. thank you Lauren and if we need care again she always would be our top choice”
“Highly recommend Jaime to watch your dog and/or visit your cat while away! I was fortunate enough to find Jaime for our most recent trip to watch our dog Kodi (13 Year Old Lab/Aussie Mix) and to visit our cat Louis (6 Year Old Bengal) during our trip. Jaime was very responsive, sent updates, and is a knowledgeable/aware sitter. Her home is great for pets as well. Kodi seemed to have a great time with her and we’ll look forward to having her stay again.”
“Savannah was very sweet and professional. She’s been the best sitter I’ve had so far. She watched our dog for 6 days with no issues whatsoever. I would trust her anytime with our animals and will certainly use her again. Thank you Savannah for taking wonderful care of our baby and for such an easy, care free experience!”
“Adrina was absolutely wonderful! She was proactive, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our dog. We arranged a meet and greet a few weeks before and I instantly knew my dog would be in good hands. Susan sent photos each day she was with my dog and kept me informed of how she was doing. This was my first experience using Rover and I will definitely book Susan again.”
“Alyssa was great! She kept me updated the whole time I was gone with pictures and messages. She was very accommodating and patient with my nervous and shy pup!”

Kelly is amazing!!! This was my first time leaving Cooper in her care and he seemed to love being with her. She gave him so much attention and took him out to do his favorite activity (play ball) every day. I also received multiple pictures and videos every day to show me how much fun he was having. He was well taken care of and I don't think he wanted to leave :) I definitely recommend Kelly to take care of your fur baby!!!
Kolin and Adam are so great to work with! We’ve boarded our sweet pittie, Wesley, with them twice now, and he always has the best time lounging at their place. They sent daily updates that always made me laugh, and they were so willing to learn his routine and all of his little “quirks.” It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and we always feel so comfortable leaving Wesley with them. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boys! It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous. But Jane send me pictures and updates on the boys while I was away and was very sweet and kind. I highly recommend and would trust her with my babies again!
Jennifer took such great care of our dog, Uecker, during his first stay with her this past weekend! As first-time clients, we really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was throughout the weekend. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Uecker was well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. We’d absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Katie took such good care of my pitlab mix, Dax! She updated me daily with pics, my favorite ones were of the two of them cuddled on the couch, my dog tends to have some anxiety when going to new places and Katie made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend booking her!
Arleen was great! She was sweet, kind and communicative, sending many pics during the weekend. This was the first time booking with Arleen. My Doodle and Chihuahua seemed happy when I picked them up and they have gone back into their normal routine with no issues today. It was five star experience all around.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,158 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.
