“Daniel and his family are great when it comes to my pup. This time it was very last minute because of my job and Daniel accepted. He is very responsive and follows what you ask when taking care of your 4-legged family”
“Everything was great! Devin helped us out last minute with our cats and turtle, kept us updated, and everyone was happy. We returned home to happy and healthy pets!”
“Maura is absolutely fabulous and such a sweetheart! She cared for our three cats as if they were her own. Very reliable, responsive, and communicative. Will be using her services again! Thanks girl!”
About: I’ve always helped out with animals in my community. I volunteered at a dog kennel in highschool, and my neighbor growing up traveled a lot so I would feed and walk his dog every morning for nearly two years along with caring for my own dog. I work from home partially, and have a part time job in the weekends. My schedule changes frequently but I have plenty of spare time and am always willing to make arrangements for work. I do not offer in home services, but I am comfortable pet sitting or caring for your pets while away! I love long walks, and chilling on the couch so no matter how high or low energy your pet may be I’m willing to accommodate what’s best for you and them :).
“Nicole demonstrated timeliness and commitment to petsitting my cat, even following up after the fact since Lottie had been feeling under the weather. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands during my brief vacation”
“James did an awesome job caring for kitty while we were away. He was attentive, communicative and kind! If you have a needy fur baby you can trust James to take great care!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals as a side job since I was about 13 years old. I love all kinds of animals and look forward to taking care of peoples furry family members. I will be available anytime to walk or watch dogs/cats on Sundays. Other than that I willl be available before 10am mondays and after 4pm on monday. After 3pm on Tuesdays and Thursday’s. Flexible on wednesdays and saturdays!! Just message me incase I like to follow the house rules and what the dog is used to in terms of routine. I’m flexible and an animal lover who respects what the animal is used to and how they operate within the household and on walks.
“Miles was not only very accommodating on last minute changes but also communicative with us through the 5 days we needed the drop in visits for our cats. They took great care of our babies, played and scooped the litter on daily basis. Plus the pictures and videos they sent us were supper adorable! We will definitely reach out to Miles again for future services.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I am almost always around and will take the dogs out every 2 or so hours. We just moved into a new house with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to move around. I have an energetic 6 year old golden doodle who I love and treat like my child! I have a very hard time leaving him anywhere (other's homes/kennels) worried that he won't get the proper care, so know that I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. If your pup is not properly house trained please advise me before so I am aware. Also please have your furry friend bring their own bowls! I can provide food if necessary!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Mini Australian Shepherd who are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether it’s walks, daycare, overnight stays, or just extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I am currently on the job hunt after spending a year abroad, so I am home with the pups all day and have extremely open availability for walks, daycare, or boarding(: I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups of my own! Plenty of space for them to run and play. I have a tiny kiddy pool for them to play outside as well on hot Florida days
About: I had my dog from age 6-18 and I was her main caretaker. I taught her a lot of tricks, so I am familiar with a lot of common commands. She was so special to me, so I can ensure that I will always treat your pets with the most kindness and respect to honor that bond. I am currently going to college, but I have a lot of flexibility. It is summer so classes are not currently running, and I have more time to care for animals! While boarding, I have a fenced in yard as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. Either while boarding or pet sitting, I make sure that I learn their routines from you and make sure that I follow them as closely as possible.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for more than 10 years and I volunteered at OCAS animal shelter for more than 4 years where I was trained in advanced dogs handling. I love animals and nature most of all. Your pets will be happy and safe with me. I am available for morning, afternoon, evening sitting and walks. I try to be as flexible as possible to meet pet’s parents needs and wishes. I take dogs out for long walks, I take care of dogs and cats in their homes feeding them, playing with them and petting them.
About: I hope to become the next best friend for your fur babies. As a dedicated cat and dog caretaker, I understand that every pet is the true ruler of their household, and I am there to serve their royal needs :) Whether your companion prefers playtime, scratches, or a walk, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to keep your pet happy and your home secure. With regular updates, photos, and videos, you will feel confident that your pet is in caring hands. I don't drink or smoke (anything) so I will stay alert and responsible 100% of time. I also like all things clean, so I will always clean up after myself and will not wear outside shoes inside your house. I am still relatively new to the professional pet-sitting world, but I have had pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I have been helping my friends and family with various pet-sitting needs, as well. My husband and I currently have two wonderful senior cats who have very different personalities, past life experiences, and challenges, as we adopted both from a shelter. We are planning to adopt a dog in the future as well, but we don't have one right now, and I really miss this special dog-human partnership, which is why I am really excited to become friends with your dog :) I believe that pets are our true friends and family members, and I will always treat your pets with the same care and respect. I am very reliable and detail-oriented, so you can definitely count on me. I speak fluent English and Russian languages. I work from home and make my own schedule, which is why I can be available almost any day and at any time, unless I am traveling. During my visits, I follow your pet's normal schedules as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention and activities, and send regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. For dog-walking services, we will walk in your neighborhood. At this time, I cannot accept pitbull-type breeds. My standard house-sitting appointment includes a 12-hour overnight stay (hours can be discussed, for instance 8 pm - 8 am), with an evening and morning pet care (food, water, medication, companionship, playtime, and a 20-25 mins walk for dogs) and one or maximum 2 midday visits, if needed (food, water, medication, and a shorter potty break) between the overnight stays. I am free to leave the house after the morning care and before the evening care to attend to my other duties, for about 4-5 hours at a time. In most cases, I cannot offer your pets a 24/7 constant care, but your house will be my home base for the time of the reservation (if that is what you need) and I will spend at least 15 hours a day there. When I have less outside duties some days, I will spend more time with your pets. If your pets need potty breaks more often than every 4-5 hours, or you need a midday visit before the first house-sitting night or after the last house-sitting night, please discuss this with me. If I am able to offer an additional midday drop- in or drop-ins, please add these extra drop-in visits to your reservation. For households with multiple pets (4+), an additional drop-in visit fee may be waived. I offer cat and dog sitting services and drop-in visits in your house, as well as dog walks. I do not offer boarding at our house, at least not yet, because we have two senior cats with very different personalities, and their comfort and safety are our priority. During my visit, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, etc. To start a job, I will familiarize myself with the information that pet parents have already provided on the platform. I will continue with a free meet-and-greet to learn about your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Rachel from the start was very communicative and extremely easy to work with. She came at the times she said she would be there and took great care of the pup. She sent updates with pictures at each visit and he always looked so happy. Will absolutely be booking with Rachel again.
Highly highly recommend choosing Alexandria to care for your animals. She is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, responsible and best of all the animals love her. We have never used a service for our animals before but we will definitely be using Alexandria again. She made it easy to enjoy our weekend away - she gave us peace of mind.
Christina is great! She is timely, reliable, and really good with our dogs. Even our senior dog, who is deaf and not always trusting of new people, went right up to her and kissed her. Dogs know people, and that said it all! I highly recommend hiring Christina for your fur baby care.
Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Sofia is honestly one of more impressive young women you’re likely to meet. She’s extremely poised, mature and speaks about my pup with a genuinely kind heart. My bulldog, “Lula,” is my everything and it is a RELIEF to have a sitter who I have zero concerns about as to Lula’s happiness or wellbeing when she’s in her care. My Lu-boo was obviously very pleased with her because she was quite happy/spunky when I got home. That only happens with the right sitter. Sophia’s a gem.
Lisa was absolutely AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She truly goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pets instantly adored her, and it was so comforting knowing they were happy, loved, and well taken care of while I was away. Lisa is incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I came home to happy pets! I will definitely be booking with Lisa again. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further! 🐾❤️

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Petersburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
