“Julie and Brian were great! I had a geriatric 14-year-old dog and a five-year-old dog. My older dog required meds, and they took care of it perfectly, and sent me daily pictures and updates on how they were doing. The dogs returned to me in great shape, and I will be using them again! Thank you!!”
“We had such a great experience with Grace during our 6-day boarding stay. She took amazing care of our Rottweiler and kept us in the loop the whole time with updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Her home is warm and welcoming and honestly feels more like a dog spa than a boarding setup. Our dog was clearly comfortable hanging out with her kids and the other pups, and it was great knowing he was getting plenty of love and social time. Grace was also super flexible and easy to work with. Best of all, our dog came home clean, happy, and relaxed. We’d absolutely book with Grace again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, home-style place for their dog. She is a true gem.”
“Perfect fit for my family’s need. Bill is retired and very caring for others. He follows your routine and is flexible. If you don’t have the answer, he does. I appreciate his willingness to work patiently alongside fur parents and the fir babies. His service is ideal for any sitting service. He provided me updated on Beau and was willing to communicate with my emergency contact since I was out of the country. I was relieved to know that Beau was left in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“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.”
“5 stars -- my pups came home so balanced and happy. It was clear that Brittany and Stephen took special care of my pups, giving them all the love they needed to thrive while they were in their care. Brittany sent daily pictures, which warmed my heart. So happy to have found them!!!”
“There weren't more stars or I would have rated Claire higher! She was very flexible and took great care of my special needs dog. Idgey had a wonderful time-I could tell by all the pictures we received while on vacation. We loved seeing her adventures and it put our family at ease. Thank you, Claire! I highly recommend!”
“I can’t stress enough how stress-free my trip was knowing Jane and her partner were taking such good care of my girls. I knew they were going to be treated like family and loved on the entire time I was gone. Jane provided updates and videos I was so happy knowing they were happy girls living the beach life as if they were their own. They were excited to see me, but I could tell they felt right at home and would love to stay hunting lizards and squirrels forever. 100% would book with them again.”
“Our dogs loved their time with Gianna and her big yard out back! She sent daily updates and pictures. When we came to pick them up, they were very happy, will certainly be visiting again. Great stay, thanks Gianna!”
“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!”
“Taytumn took such good care of my pup. He’s a little older and can be nervous from being a rescue, but I could tell by all the photos she sent that he was having a great time. I would rebook with her if needed.”
“Very experienced, great pet sitter. Beverly was thoughtful and took great care of our lab who was six weeks from a surgery and needed a little special attention.”
“Highly recommend Alyssa!! She took the best care of Nugget and her dog Ace is the sweetest ever. This was our first time using rover and we were super nervous but Alyssa provided pictures the entire time and Nugget came back the happiest dog ever!”
“I left my dog with Tiffany, this was my first time using Rover and entrusting him with someone outside of my family or a close friend. Tiffany provided the utmost comfort and care. She relieved any worries I had and continuously updated me on how Buddy is doing and what there plans are for the day. I had an emergency and she was able to flexible with time. You can tell so easily that Tiffany cares a great deal towards animals and is the sweetest soul. She seriously goes above and beyond, this is the person you want watching your animals! She was able to meet all of my needs for Buddy and so much more. Thank you for all the care and all the love you provided Buddy, Tiffany. You’re an amazing human.”
“Francesca took great care of Callie while I was away! She was communicative, provided regular updates, and my pet seemed happy and well cared for. I would recommend her and would book again!”
“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.”
“Pam was absolutely outstanding - came through on short notice due to a family emergency. She was hands down the best. Very communicative, flexible, empathetic, and I could tell Teddy was extremely happy and at home with her. Very grateful to have found Pam!”
“Dian was great. She has a peaceful home, a beautiful and secure backyard, and a gentle demeanor. She and her small pup, Bitsy, were very welcoming. I'm very happy with the care Buddy received during his stay.”

Sandra was incredible! An amazing sitter. She was so sweet, and was really good at sending me updates and photos of my Scarlett. Her home is so calm and clean, my Collie felt right at home while we were away. I would highly recommend Sandra if you're looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!
We truly could not have found a better fit than Tony! Our dog has some specific personality quirks and Tony had no problem meeting her needs. He met us promptly for an introduction and we could tell right away he would her the way we do. We followed all of our instructions to a tee and sent us an update every morning, as well as pictures. We are so relieved to have found the perfect fit!
I had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer & Austin! From the very first interaction, they were extremely professional and made me feel completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. She was so communicative throughout the entire stay, she sent a ton of photo updates so I always knew my pup was happy and having a great time. It was such a relief to see those pictures and know my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jennifer & Austin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Ruthie and her husband were incredibly kind and took such great care of our Benny. They kept him active, happy, and well loved throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily trust them with Benny again!
my past dog sitter moved away and Savannah was able to help me with a last minute booking, she was incredibly caring and made sure to send me lots of pictures and updates of my baby! diego seemed really sad to leave her which is always a good sign! i will definitely be using her services again!
Pam was so wonderful! She sent so many pictures and kept us updated frequently. Callie felt right at home and got along so well with her dog. Our flight home ended up getting delayed and Pam was so helpful and flexible with the pick up time. 10/10 recommend and will be booking in the future.
Shadow loves spending time with Billy. He’s always well taken care of. I appreciate how detailed Billy’s reports are- he lets me know about my Shadow’s mood, eating habits, how he’s settling in, etc. Although I miss my Shadow when I have to travel out of town, I know he will be in great hands living the retired life with Billy and enjoying a yard to roam around in. I’d book Billy again for long trips!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Saint Petersburg
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.
