“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!”
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.
“Lisa is so sweet and my Bella really likes her! She arrived during the expected time frame and let me know how my pup was doing. She even got sent pictures of my cats. Will definitely hire her for future walks.”
About: With a background in Search and Recovery (SAR) training, I offer more than just a walk around the block. I’ve spent my life living with and learning from breeds of all shapes and sizes - from the stubborn charm of Bulldogs to the high intelligence of German Shepherds. Whether your dog is a high energy athlete or a puppy still learning the ropes, I provide a structured, safe, and engaging environment. I also specialize in board and trains meaning I understand how to communicate with dogs effectively. I am currently raising my own GSD puppy and managing two cats, so I am an expert at multi-pet household dynamics and “puppy chaos” management. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur kids! I’m available all day and tend to my own animals all day (and sometimes night) as well. I have a fenced yard and a friendly GSD puppy who can cuddle and play. I have a dedicated “animal room” where your pups crate will go so they can relax after a long day of fun.
About: As a long time pet lover and owner (dogs and cats), I'd love to help with your pet care needs. No matter the type of animal, temperament, or breed，I'll make sure your animal friends are loved! I'm located in downtown St. Pete on Central Ave, have transportation, and can be flexible with times and logistics. I'm currently working part time remote which allows plenty of flexibility with pet care. I have a dog and cat of my own, both of which are friendly. I can do boarding as long as they're friendly with other dogs - I can keep the cat in another room if needed. Have my own transportation. I'm on the first floor of an apartment complex with access to great walking routes and a minutes walk away from a great dog park. As a dog owner, I know how important play and exercise are and will make sure they're having a good time!
“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: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals.

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.

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.

About: I have grown up on a farm in NC and have a lot of experience with large animals. That includes farm dogs, like my cattle dog Bill, and barn cats! I have raise Bill since he was a puppy during High School and it taught me a lot about animal training. So I have a good understanding of animals emotions and how to reciprocate to them effectively. I have also been a dog walker in my neighborhood for many year in middle and high school, so I understand how to respect others homes. I’m currently working in the mornings at my schools bike shop, but other than that my summer is wide open! My dog Bill lives with me and he’s an active dog but I tend to run with him in the morning. I have had experience dog walking and house sitting so my understanding of how to respect others homes when they are not there is well established.
“Super sweet sitter! I needed someone to walk my dogs while I was at an appointment and she was super flexible and helpful! My dogs really liked her and enjoyed playing with her dog! ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Devin & Kylie were great. Our older dog who can’t hear, can’t see very well and usually doesn’t like strangers did really well with Devin &Kylie. They took Precious for 3 walks per day and fed her AM and PM. I was really apprehensive at first but would recommend them and use Devin & Kylie again.
Scott is one of the few people i trust with my precious baby. She loves him so much and Scott takes such amazing care of her, even going above and beyond almost every walk! He helps with keeping up with her leash training, plays with her, and even sometimes brings her special gifts on holidays! I would be so lost without Scott and he is truly a lifesaver!!
We’ve only had one walk so far, but Daulton made a great impression. He arrived early, was attentive to my dog’s needs, and communicated well throughout the entire process. I really appreciated the reliability, responsiveness, and care he showed. Based on this experience, I’d happily book with Daulton again and would definitely recommend him to others looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.
During our stay in St. Petersburg in an Airbnb, we sought a reliable dog care provider to assist us during our day-long absence. Daniel exhibited exceptional responsiveness, kindness, thoughtfulness, and care. Our pups thoroughly enjoyed their time under his supervision.
I’m so glad we found such an incredible dog sitter! Our pup was clearly spoiled and living his best life while we were away. The daily updates meant so much and gave us total peace of mind. Mia truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,936 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saint Petersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Saint Petersburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Saint Petersburg.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Petersburg. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
