“Absolutely fantastic walker and very reliable and friendly! He treats my baby girl like his own and would trust him with her life!! Was reccomend by my other Waller while he’s out of town and I’m so happy he do!! Highly reccomend!”
“Gerard is as very kind and communicative. I felt he really cared about our pups and sent us sweet pictures during their walks and interactions. I have an older dog who is shy, but he took his time and she warmed up to him. I would use him again and again. Thanks Gerard!”
About: Raised in Minnesota barn life, I learned hands‑on care for birds, small mammals, and horses. Now serving St. Pete, I offer reliable dog walks, gentle leash training, enrichment, medication administration, and attentive puppy, senior, and/or specialized care. My partner and I share life with two dogs, Betty and Zuko, and a cat, Grapes, and you’ll often spot our little fam swimming at Fort DeSoto or strolling through Sawgrass Lake Park. I offer early, late, or multiple daily visits and can do overnight stays with advance notice. My schedule is flexible most days and weekends; I am unavailable on Wednesdays. I primarily provide care in your home so pets stay in familiar surroundings. I follow provided routines, secure doors/enclosures, perform a quick safety check each visit, and administer oral meds exactly as directed. I send regular photo updates and will contact you should any concerns arise.
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!
“Karen has been dog walking for my handsome ol' man Chewbacca for a while now. It is easy to tell he is happier on the days she comes over. She is also thoughtful to get helpful feedback on how he is doing for the day, which is important as he is older and has had some illnesses. Karen also spends the time to give attention to my cats as well, including photos. I'm lucky to have her to take care of my Chewesph!”
About: I worked at a doggy care care for three years. From there I moved into being a dog groomer for a couple years. I now have a profession career in an office setting. I miss taking care of furry friends so I decided to create a Rover account and help others out. I have a dog of my own so I know how it goes trying to find someone to care for your four legged friend while you are out of town! Ernie is 14 years of age. Loves to play with his ball and is very friendly. I hope your dog enjoys my company! Message me and see if I’m available! Can’t wait to meet you and your pup(s). I am currently working part time and have the time to spend with your pup! :) let’s get the pups together to play and have fun Have one friendly pup that loves to play! Would treat your pet as if he/she was my own. Long walks to the dog park/beach with your permission of course!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, growing up in a home with three Siamese cats and eventually adopting my own best gal, Leona (a 7yr old Siamese Tortie mix). My experience spans from volunteering with adoption agencies to living in multi-pet households with dogs of all sizes. Having lived with roommates who owned dogs, I became the "go-to" caretaker for walks, feedings, and companionship whenever they were away. Whether your pet is a vocal cat who needs specialized attention or a pup who needs a reliable walking partner, I have the experience to make them feel at at ease! I'm an active person who goes for long walks daily, and I would love for your dog to be my walking partner! My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable for consistent walks or last-minute drop-ins to ensure your pet’s routine never misses a beat. As a millennial, my pet is my child. I know exactly the level of care and attention I expect for my Leona when I'm away, and I provide that same "pet-parent" standard to your family. This means more than just a quick visit; I ensure food and water bowls are cleaned (if needed), playtime is engaging, and there are plenty of pets and affection (if they enjoy it!). I am a frequent communicator and will send you several photo updates and notes so you can see your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years and have a 10-year-old dog of my own, Bella, who is truly part of my family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal with the same patience and respect I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care are never left alone for long periods and always have someone present to monitor their safety and comfort. I also have a large, secure backyard where dogs can safely play and burn off energy in addition to regular walks. Whether your pet prefers active playtime or a calm, relaxed environment, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and dependable, and especially good with pets who benefit from a steady presence. I follow instructions carefully, maintain routines, and am comfortable with feeding schedules, litter care, walks, medication reminders, and companionship. I also have personal experience caring for a senior dog with age-related cognitive decline. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of gentle reassurance for older pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins with my own dog. I work from home, so I’m able to be flexible with timing and provide reliable supervision throughout the day. I’m punctual, responsive, and I communicate clearly so pet parents always know how their pets are doing. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm energy. I work from home, so pets aren’t left alone for long stretches. I also have a large backyard for safe outdoor time (always supervised), and I’m attentive to behavior cues so pets stay comfortable and secure.
About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and have fostered several dogs over the years, giving me plenty of experience with different breeds and temperaments. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I offer overnight sitting, daily walks, and plenty of love and attention for your pets while you’re away. I’ve also cared for cats, including newborn kittens that needed nursing, so I’m comfortable providing specialized care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.
“Wonderful experience. She is kind and dependable. She treated my dogs very nicely upon meeting her. She was on time and went above and beyond. Sent great pictures and documented her walk. Highly recommend.!”

About: I’ve taken care of big and small dogs since I was 11. I specialize in senior care and dogs with separation anxiety. Friends and family have entrusted me with care for their pets and I hope I can be there for you and your loved one too! Hi! I am Sage and I live in St. Petersburg with my senior Goldie. I love animals dearly and have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. It’s a joy getting to know each pet and I hope I can be one of your pet’s best friends. I work from home most of the week. This gives me the flexibility to care for your dog or cat throughout the day. This is perfect for pets with separation anxiety or senior pets who need a little extra care. I can provide both long and lots of short walks to accommodate any dog. Ensuring your pet’s safety is really important to me. I will do everything I can to cherish and care for your pet. I am available to make stops at your house or stay with your pet if needed. I have one elderly dog that mostly keeps to herself. I can separate the dogs if needed. I would like to know your dogs routines and rules so that I can ensure they feel safe.
About: I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home, and I have a Yorkie who acts like a small soldier, but he loves other animals and is curious about any animal at first but will be accepting. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services. -Maria

Scott is amazing with our poodle, Birdie. We just adopted her two months ago, and he has gone above and beyond to earn her trust. As a poodle parent himself, he has given me training tips and pointers and helped me help her get settled in. The care he shows for her is obvious, and my shy, standoffish has warmed up to him easily. Thanks, Scott!
We used Catherine throughout January for daily hour-long walks for our pup, Whisky. He’s 60 lbs and eager to get outside each walk! She was great with him. She was such a joy, and always on time and communicative. She sent lots of photos. We can’t wait to use her more in the future! She helped him get in a great routine.
My father has been in the hospital for over a month with his service animal. It's been a lot for me to handle on my own along with trying to get my father better. Nicole came to the rescue on short notice to start providing me immediate relief. Asking someone to come to the hospital to help is a big ask in itself so I was amazed with her willingness to help. Nicole is incredibly reliable and went above and beyond ensuring my father's dog went to the bathroom even when taking longer than scheduled and had food and water.
I couldn’t be happier with the care Joli provided for my dog and cat. She was very communicative and professional, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Samson and Winnie seemed happy and cared for. Highly recommend Joli for your persisting needs.
