“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!”

“Micaela was so wonderful with my pup. She walked her in the afternoon in June. She updated me and sent me photos while I was on a trip. Sage was so happy. Thank you for taking great care of my fur baby.”
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.
“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 know how important (and relieving) it is to find a sitter on Rover you can truly trust. With two pets of my own at home, I understand how much dogs become part of the family and how important it is to know they are in caring, responsible hands. I have also cared for older foster dogs during hurricanes, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing comfort during stressful situations. As a law student away from home, I do not currently have the time to care for a dog full time, so I see Rover as an opportunity to share some of the love and care I have for animals with your pets. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to making your dogs feel safe, cared for, and loved while you are away. Currently, I have a very flexible schedule. I can walk dogs multiple times a day and also pet sit for a few hours or check in as many times as needed! In your home, I would care for your dog by not only learning where all of their important items are, but also understanding their individual preferences, whether that’s where they like to rest, their favorite toy, or behaviors they may show when they are missing you. I know how important consistency and comfort are for pets while their owners are away. You can also count on me to respect your home, follow your routines closely, and remain communicative throughout my time with your pet so you always feel informed and reassured.
About: I have lived with big dogs my entire life. Had a German shepherd when I was little and have had 2 Rottweilers so I am pretty good at managing big dogs. I am usually at college and dont have a pet there except a stray cat for a few days a little while ago. but I take my dogs to the park everyday when I am home. My dogs have a dog door and go for lots of walks and park trips. They get loads of love and are pretty well trained.
About: We’re an active couple who have a healthy balance of long walks, games of fetch and belly rubs. We recently lost our shitzu, so have a lot of love to give! - John & Thanecha We work part time from home, and are around the house or going places we can bring your pup along. Your dog will get lots of attention We live in a quiet neighborhood that is convenient to many desirable areas. The pets I watch will be in a fun, loving home with lots of treats and petting
“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: Hi, I’m Sophia! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. 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. Whether your dog loves long, athletic runs or gentle, sniff-heavy strolls, they will be treated like family with me I am available full time throughout the week and am very flexible with last minute bookings. Monday- Sunday 8am-8pm. Please send a message and we can discuss further. I have a safe place for them to stay and great walking trail nearby. All fenced in and ready to be cared and walked. I also do drop in visits and overnights at clients home.

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!!
Alexandria is absolutely amazing! She has been my dog walker for quite some time, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond. One thing I appreciate most is how flexible she is—she has helped me out on numerous occasions with last-minute requests, and I can always count on her when I need her. She is incredibly sweet with my dog, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. My dog is always excited to see her and comes back happy after every walk. I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and kind dog walker. We are so lucky to have found her!
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 $18.87 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 6,841 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
- 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.
