“Colby is so communicative! His initial response to my inquiry was timely and I love how he keeps me posted on how Roy’s walk went. He is reliable and friendly. Roy really enjoys his company!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover and pet care enthusiast with years of hands-on experience. I grew up with cats and a dog and adopted my own cat in 2010. Today, my cats Pete and Olive are my beloved furchildren, and Pete even walks on a leash! He's kind of famous in our little neighborhood. Beyond my own pets, I help my neighbor care for his outdoor cat colony, transforming timid, semi-feral kittens into friendly lap cats who run over to my house when they see me come home. I’ve also guided new cat owners through the basics of cat care. What I Offer: My specialty is in-home cat care. Whether it’s feeding, litter scooping, playtime, or providing cuddles (if your cat is up for it!), I’ll make sure your cat feels loved and cared for while you’re away. I’m also open to dog walking and in-home dog care, including feeding and playtime. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced, I’d love to meet your furbabies! I work from home and can accommodate urgent or last-minute visits. I'm also available nights and weekends. I occasionally travel for work, but not very often. I'm all about meeting animals where they are. I'm ready to snuggle and play if they're relaxed, but I'm also happy to give them their space if they're nervous. My job is to make sure your furbaby is cared for in the way that's best for them. I have a knack for connecting with shy or standoffish cats, thanks to my experience socializing my neighbor's semi-feral kittens. I've also done three hurricane evacuations with cats, so I'm pretty good at managing stress!
“My dog had a great couple of walks with Tracy! She sent great photos and updates while they spent time together, which made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. :)”

About: I specialize in taking care seniors, pets with separation anxiety, and those who have disabilities. I take the time to get to know you and your pet to ensure a their needs are met while having fun too. I work from home Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am also off in the morning on Monday and Tuesday. I am usually free on the weekends. I ask pet owners thorough questions about their pet’s personalities, quirks, and review any safety concerns. I make sure to double-check the pet is visible before leaving drop-ins. I also ensure I have emergency contact information for the pet’s vet.

About: Hey there neighbor! I’m a St. Pete local and dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience and 18 years of owning pets of my own. Offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for many different kinds of pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛
About: I've never lived in a home where there wasn't at least one dog. Growing up, my parents always had 1-2 dogs and I was always very involved in taking care of them. In high school, I dogsat for friends and family. In college, I rented a room in a house where the family living there owned a dog and I helped take care of it. After college, I continued to dogsit. I also volunteered at a dog shelter and fostered a few dogs before adopting one of my own! Since then, my husband Zach and I have had over 5 years of dogsitting experience and have watched all sorts of dogs, big and small, young and old. You can feel safe leaving your pup with us, no matter their size, age, or special needs. We will treat your dog just like our own and make them feel right at home :) Being a dog owner is not a part-time job. We make sure to constantly keep up on everything - water, meals, toys, treats, potty breaks and walks, baths and nail trims, flea and heart worm meds, and so much more! We make sure our pup gets lots of walks and treats and gets a birthday celebration and doggy advent calendar every year. To us, she's not just a dog, she's part of our family and we treat her as such. This is the same treatment we'd extend to any dog in our home! You can feel safe and secure knowing your pup is being treated in the best possible way, having all their needs met and being given lots of love and attention. My husband and I have a two-bedroom home with a completely fenced-in and gated back yard with lawn. We have a small 10 pound dog that lives with us. We hope your dog and ours will be friends, but if they're not, we have plenty of space to keep them separate, so you don't have to worry about them not getting along. We make sure not to have any plants, scents/oils or foods around that could be toxic to dogs. We both work from home and at least one of us is is around to supervise at all times when home. We are very responsible and when we do go out, we never leave the house for more than a few hours. While I hope you'll feel safe trusting your pup to us, I'm also happy to send photo updates of your dog if it gives you peace of mind.
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Great experience! She took great care of my dog and was very considerate throughout the walk. I especially appreciated that she checked with me to make sure my dog was comfortable walking the full 30 minutes rather than just assuming. Would definitely recommend her!

Kelsey was fantastic! She sent tons of pictures and left a really thoughtful, detailed update about everything they did together. I really appreciated how accommodating she was when my dog didn’t want to walk because of the heat. Instead of forcing the walk, she played with her and spent quality time with her, which meant a lot. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I’d definitely book with her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,826 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.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
