“Amy was amazing helping out with my dog, Emma. She was very communicative and kept me updating steadily throughout the four day window of doing drop in visits with her. I would highly recommend!”
About: Your pup is important! I want to make sure they are smiling and getting what they need. Walks, love, pats, food to make you comfortable while away. I am vigilant with walks and the heat. Always bringing water, finding the shade, and testing the ground to make sure it is safe for your pup. I can walk more than one dog at a time and if we need to avoid other dogs we do. I was a corporate girlie, now a WFH dog mom. I know how it feels leaving your pup while at work and getting home later than expected. I am taking pups (limited spots) for all day care in my home. I am also available for walks (morning, midday, and evening) and overnights everyday! I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon giving them lots of pats and love while you’re away! And photo updates of your fur baby are a must!! I’m in a house (with my 6 year old goldendoodle). He is well trained. Energetic. We go on multiple walks a day and when it’s cool outside play in the fenced in backyard. I make sure they are well hydrated, fed, and played with.
“I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie. She took incredible care of my cat while I was away and made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was super reliable, kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious my cat was comfortable and well cared for. You can tell she really loves animals and goes the extra mile. Everything was clean, my cat was happy, and I came home with total peace of mind. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Michelle took wonderful care of our two kitties (one having special needs) and sent us great updates and pictures at each visit! I highly recommend her for anyone with pets who need a little extra TLC”
About: I am available to care for your animals in your own home. I have many references of house sitting, as that is my speciality. I have experience with short stays of house sitting and have stayed lengthy times as long as five week stints. I have had animals my entire life since I was a little girl, and love being able to take care of animals when their owners leave for travel. I usually watch dogs and cats but also have experience with horses and reptiles. I treat your animals like I do my own, lots of snuggles, brushing and care. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and if they require medication I can administer that no problem. Please reach out with any questions!

I offer flexible pet care to fit your schedule, with open availability for walks, and drop-in visits. Whether you need occasional help or regular care, I’m here to accommodate your pet's needs. Just let me know what works best for you! I prioritize safety and comfort for your pets, whether in your home or my own. I ensure a secure environment by removing hazards and closely supervising playtime. I follow any specific routines your pet is used to, providing familiar toys and spaces. Trust is key, so I maintain open communication with updates and photos, keeping you informed about your fur baby’s wellbeing. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: Hi, I'm Loren. Since I was ten years old I have had or cared for many different breeds of pets in my life: turtles, snakes, ferrets, fish, birds, horses, cats, and dogs. All the photos on my page are of some of my fave charges. I love kitties too, don't hesitate to reach out to me for your purrfect pet. I am a freelance filmmaker. The industry is pretty much shut down right now so I have lots of time open to care for the fur babes. I only care for pets in your home, but in my home my lil' guy has so many cozy spots dedicated just to him. He is walked and fed twice a day and gets so much love. He is spoiled for sure.
“Devin has again made it possible for us to get away without worrying about our dogs. He always sends pictures and an update which is very comforting. We would gladly recommend him for pet sitting.”
About: I have taken care of pet’s my entire life. From growing up with both dogs and cats, to having my own after high school. I have spent years taking care of friends, family, and neighbors animals as well. I have never met a pet that didn’t love me! I care so deeply about animals and am communicative, responsible, and attentive. I promise your babies will be in good hands! I work from home 5 days a week, so I have plenty of time to take breaks to care for your angel babies. My schedule is very flexible! I am responsible and will be exactly what you need. If your dog needs walks, has specific needs, or your pet needs extra attention during drop-ins. I am here to help! I go above and beyond in my care for animals.
“Amanda was reliable and flexible. We came back early and she switched her time for Charleys final visit. She spent time inside and out, as Charley enjoys sitting outside in her stroller, birdwatching, and she was understanding with the occasional hisses of Charley feeling unsure.. Definitely will call her again!”
“We had never left our pets in another's care for longer than two days, and even then it was always with a close friend. A week? For our skittish cats? With a stranger? Unthinkable, but it had to be done. Laura not only took great care of our skittish cats but she helped sooth their skittish owners' nerves, as well. Her daily updates were timely and thorough. I highly recommend her services, particularly for those with nervous cats and who may themselves be nervous cat people.”

I love our furry friends! I am a full time college student living at home saving up to move out eventually!

Growing up, I raised and cared for everything from high-energy German Shepherds and independent Shiba Inus, to intelligent Poodles and sweet Papillons. In addition to owning pets, my family and I have fostered dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds my entire life. This lifelong experience has taught me how to read dog body language, build quick trust, and provide the exact care, patience, and exercise your pup needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Elise is wonderful! She is a confident and caring handler, and we can always trust that Maggie is in good hands. Elise is knowledgeable, calm and comfortable (due to her experience) with ecollar training, which is very important to us. She reinforces all of the training that we are doing with Maggie, which is a godsend. She communicates any changes in her behavior, and questions the changes she should if something seems out of the normal. Elise also let's us know the improvements she sees, which is invaluable. Knowing that what we work on with her, carries through when we are not around is something that matters to us when it comes to Maggie's development and growth. We love having Elise be part of our puppy team, and you will be happy having her on yours as well!
Amy is fantastic! My dog absolutely loved her, which was evident by the pictures she sent. She was very responsive to my messages, and asked questions if she was concerned about anything. Amy has a lovely personality as well, and I will definitely use her again when I need a sitter.
Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!
Each of our dogs has a different personality and set of needs, and it was obvious that they were all given individual attention and care. We came home to three happy, relaxed dogs—which says everything. Julie kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away.
Sara did a great job with our drop-in visits. I accidentally gave her the wrong lockbox code. She stayed patient and figured it out. Whew! Really impressive! She was punctual, communicative, and easy to work with throughout. I’d definitely recommend her and would book again.
Rachel is fantastic! We knew we were in good hands starting with the meet and greet. Really took time to get to know us and our pup Tony. Very responsive and flexible regarding our plans, and patient and helpful! Then for the day of the walk she provided updates about our dog and I know they had a great time together! Our dog was in excellent spirits when we returned. We were nervous since we hadn’t had a walker come in years, but all fears were put aside with Rachel. Can’t recommend enough. She brings passion and care to her work!

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.

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 .

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.
