“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“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!!”
“Thank you so much to Lauren and Austin. They did so good with Bubba over the holidays and Bubba is even eating throughout more of his stay with them and thank you for being so understanding due to my flight being delayed numerous times.”
“Our 2 gave Billy a run for his money! He is the best. First class service. our only disappointment will be if he is booked and can not watch our babies in the future.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for our dog, Gumbo! She’s very pleasant and communicative. Gumbo can be finicky at mealtime while he’s at someone else’s home, but she took the time to mix in broth and hand feed him to make sure he ate. She gave regular updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing at her home. We will definitely be repeat clients! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Skylar is awesome! She’s attentive, accommodating, and took great care of my Snowdrop. She sent pictures and updates through the day and I never felt worried about my fur baby when she was in her hands. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time using rover and Susan set the bar very high!! She was very professional and loving with our young puppy Ridley. She was patient and got to know him during our meet and greet. She made us feel like our dog would be in safe and capable hands. She asked a lot of questions to properly care for him and his individual needs. During the stay, she sent us multiple photos and videos as well as typed updates as to how the days and nights went. She was very easy to communicate and get in touch with over the course of our weekend away. Can't recommend enough, we will definitely be booking again with her in the future.”
“Hurley felt right at home with Pamela and her dog. She took great care of him. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the day. She gave him all his medicine and walked him everyday. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!!! Next time I need someone I will use her again!!!!”
“Chanel was in such good hands! I would 200% have Tiffany watch her again. She gave so many updates and was very flexible when our flight was delayed. She’s definitely a gem!”
“Cynthia took such a great care of our cat, Indy! We got lots of pictures and he was clearly comfortable from the moment he walked in. It’s always reassuring to know that your fur baby is in good hands, and we definitely felt that way with Cynthia. I definitely recommend her!”
“Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs Penny and Ted. She took them for long walks and out to see new places, always sending frequent pictures and updates. Would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet!”
“Amazing !!! Serenity 🐾 and Melody was super kind and intensive they sent me pictures and videos of my little buddy the whole time I was away and although I was homesick, I think he did pretty well with their two puppies and it helped him keep him company and his anxiety down. Very graceful for these girls.”
“Liz and Bryan were great with Stella! We got photos and updates daily and they made sure she was comfortable. Stella also loved their dog, Rocky. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Coco was very happy to see us. And I believe that Sally did a great job watching, walking and taking care of Coco while we got away for a few days. Sally was great at sending us pictures and updates of Coco. I would not hesitate to have her watch him again!”
“It was our first time leaving our puppy overnight, Sandra was just great. We got to know her at a meet and great, she made us feel comfortable and answered all our questions while getting to know our pup. She was patient and kind and sent pics and video during his stay. Wouldn't hesitate to use her services next time! ??”
“100/10 review for this lovely couple! They provided so many updates and photos and also gave my puppy all the love and attention he needs. They went above and beyond and even sent him home with treats and a cute necklace.”
“Jane was very attentive to Pippa and hosted a meet and greet to get to know her and asked a lot of helpful questions/sent pictures which was appreciated. Was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times:). Thanks!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Brendan and his fiancée were phenomenal! It was the first time my dog Pistachio stayed with them, they asked amazing questions to get to know him and understand his needs, then put me at ease with updates. They were great and would absolutely have him stay with them again
Sugar had a wonderful time staying with Jennifer & Austin! She made herself right at home & was so well taken care of! I think she loved her time there. Jennifer sent a lot of photos and updates the whole time. They were so great with her & we could tell she was so happy! We couldn’t ask for anything more. Sugar would love to stay with them again!
Pam took absolutely excellent care of our mini schnauzer, Charlie! 🐾 She sent us so many lovely photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and were so grateful for. It was wonderful to see how happy he was and how much fun he was having! Charlie also had the best time with Pam’s dog, Alfy — they’ve become the best of buddies! ❤️ Pam is absolutely lovely, has fantastic communication, and made us feel completely at ease leaving Charlie in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend Pam to anyone looking for someone to take wonderful care of their dog. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
We're so grateful to have found Jennifer! She has a great space for the puppies and she lets our Honey snuggle with her on couches and beds, which makes her feel right at home. Honey always looks like she's having a great time in the pictures, and she comes home happy and tuckered out.
We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Liz provided for our sweet fur baby, Pepper! From start to finish, Liz was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. Her communication was fantastic, and we loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures throughout Pepper’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Pepper gives Liz two paws up! 🐾❤️
AJ was fantastic! Super easy to communicate with, flexible, and sent photos and updates throughout Murphy’s stay. My flight ended up getting delayed, and AJ was incredibly accommodating, which made everything so much less stressful. Murphy seemed to have a great time! Would definitely book again and highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saint Petersburg is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,201 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Saint Petersburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Petersburg home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
