“We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!”
“Lauren is always amazing with my animals! I trust her completely when I need to leave my babies behind. She’s very reliable and I know my Border Collie loves to see her!”
“Christella was great! Our cats warmed right up to her. She followed all the instructions we left for her and she even brought in our packages. I hope to hire her again next time we go out of town.”
“We are so thankful for Victoria and her flexibility and communication! She is always super quick to respond and able to pivot if anything arises. Her updates about my pups are always the highlight of my day!”
About: Raised with five pets and over a decade of experience, I've cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs. I have a border-collie mix that is timid at first but gets along with others! I don’t board more than one dog at a time to ensure the best care for your pet. Available for early morning and weekday lunchtime walks. Let's discuss your dog's schedule! I work full-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to take breaks for pet care. My mornings and afternoons are especially open. Just let me know your preferred time, and I'll be there! At someone else’s home, I try to make the dog feel as comfortable as possible with a new person in their space. I pay attention to the notes from owners.
“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”
“Kierra was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of my cats while I was away. Any time she had a question she would contact me and go to extra efforts to make everything work. She is very responsive, flexible, and reliable. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“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 have had cats and dogs of all sizes my whole life! My mother is a veterinarian so i have grown up loving and taking care of pets. I currently do not work Fridays-mondays giving me plenty of time to look after pets. I love long walks and would much rather do that with a furry friend. My mother is a veterinarian so growing up, the animals safety and wellbeing has always been extremely important and something that always comes first. Thanks to her, I feel very comfortable taking on the responsibility of others beloved pets.
About: I grew up with many animals, from gerbils to parakeets to chickens and horses, assisting with care & training. I've taken 3 of my family dogs through obedience training courses. While working at and eventually managing a pet store, I ran a ferret rehabilitation out of my home, helping them to regain health & good behavior to find their forever home. I've also pet sat for many friends. My furry family consists of an extra large dog and 3 cats, all rescues! I work part time and seasonal gigs and jobs. This allows me to have open availability and a flexible schedule! I can adjust my routine to meet your needs. At home, I have a lovely fenced in yard for my dog to run. And lots of trees and toys for the cats to play with. In your home, I would provide care, play, and walks based on your requests.
“Cassandra saved us at the last minute when we left on a trip. She is friendly, kind and made extra effort to get to know our Ragdoll cat who can be shy and ldifficult. We couldn’t have asked for more. Cassandra is absolutely the best!!!”
“Mason is an excellent pet sitter! He took care of our two cats, Mila and Luca, who absolutely love him! Mason is punctual, reliable, communicative, and above all, caring. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: Hi! I'm Kelsey. I graduated from USF with a science degree and left my job in clinical research to hangout with animals all day. This is my full time job (and dream job, tehe). I'm basically a huge dog nerd. When I was a little kid I would fall asleep studying my collection of 13 dog encyclopedias (hope my parent still have those). My love of dogs has followed me into adulthood - I've trained my own late German Shepherd in Search and Recovery as well as protection, and I have fostered many dogs (and cats!) over the years. I've cared for chihuahuas, to Great Danes, to bulldogs and everything in between. I truly love them all and appreciate all their little quirks and unique ways of communicating. I'm super dog nerd, but spending time with my own cats brings me immeasurable joy as well. I even started a little catnip company for my cat. Anyway, I would love to care for your pet! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Pet care is my full-time job, so caring for animals is what my days revolve around! I have a flexible schedule and am able to build my day around the needs of my clients rather than fitting pet care in around another job. I'm generally available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. My goal is to give each pet plenty of attention and make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Safety is always my first priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, triggers, and any special instructions before caring for them. I'm attentive to doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and anything else that could create a safety issue, and I never assume that every pet has the same needs. In my clients' homes, I'm respectful of their space and leave things exactly as I found them. I'm careful about securing doors and gates when I leave and making sure pets have everything they need before I go. I also believe trust is earned through good communication. I'll keep you updated during visits, let you know if I notice anything unusual, and always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you're away.
“Kristen was AWESOME! She took care of my 2 kitties for 3 days and kept me informed all along the way. The Rover platform has live communications when visits are happening which is nice to have that piece of mind. Kristen followed up with pics and updates letting me know that all was well. Very happy with this service and loved working with Kristen. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies! Heather”

I found Lisa based on her high reviews and repeat business… she also was able to help out on short notice which was a lifesaver! My dog took a liking to her right away and was well cared for while I was away for the day. Highly recommend and will use her services again. Thanks Lisa!
Brittany was absolutely amazing! I have both a dog and a cat, and she took such great care of them. She arrived on time for every single check-in and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend with tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the last night, my AC unexpectedly went out, and Brittany immediately alerted me. She was incredibly helpful and was even able to get it turned back on for me. She also showed so much care and concern for my dog by turning on a fan and giving her some ice water since the house had gotten a little warm. Brittany was so kind, considerate, reliable, and attentive to both of my pets. She truly went above and beyond. She is hands down the best Rover sitter I’ve had, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
Kim was very communicative throughout our booking with our two pups! She was always on time and helped us feel at ease while we were away! Kim is a natural with dogs, you can tell it’s a real passion of hers. We will definitely be booking with Kim in the future.
Sam was so amazing with my girls, if I could leave more than 5 stars I would! She is timely, accommodated all normal routines, does well with my older dog who needs extra care and medications, and sent me so many updates it truly felt like my babies were in the best care! If anyone is like me who is normally anxious leaving their pets with someone new or unfamiliar, fear not! Sam will give your babies plenty of love and attention and it will show! I can’t even being to express my gratitude! Highly recommend!
Amy watched over our pups for two straight weeks while we were away visiting family. She routinely went out of her way to make sure they were happy and healthy (even visiting them a little more when there were thunderstorms!) and stayed in communication with me through everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to give us piece of mind that our babies were cared for ❤️
Our 7-year-old American Bulldog has always been a challenge to find care for. Until now, the only person we trusted to watch him was my brother-in-law. Our dog gets protective and anxious when we leave, and because of his size, many people are understandably hesitant to come into our home without us there. Dan went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dog several times before our trip and doing a few trial visits to build trust. His patience, kindness, and calm demeanor made all the difference, and he ended up being the perfect fit for our pup. Knowing we had someone we could truly rely on gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We no longer have to stress about leaving town, and that is priceless. Dan is amazing, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We can't wait to use his services again in the future!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Petersburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Saint Petersburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
