About: I have grow up around animals my whole life. Not only have I been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid, I also had 2 dogs and a cat growing up and now have a cat of my own. On a regular basis I pet sit for my entire family as well as several friends when they go away on trips. I have looked after a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to birds, reptiles and rabbits! I am comfortable administering medications and shots and have experience doing this with my own cat. I like animals more than people and will provide the most excellent care for your fur baby! I currently am working a part time and just moved to St. Pete! My schedule is very flexible with lots of availability to look after your pets I completely respect other peoples homes and always leave the house spotless. I am happy to water plants, clean up and do household tasks in addition to pet care. My home is spotless and I would never leave someone’s house without making it nicer than when I arrived!
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.
About: Hi! My name's Olivia and I've been an animal person my whole life. I currently have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a turtle, and a tortoise! Pets are more than just animals, they're our best friends and an important part of our lives. I've been trusted by co-workers, friends, and family to care for their furry friends for a couple of years, giving them a peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well taken care of. My goal is to provide that same care to every pet entrusted in me! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which keeps me home and available locally most days. Since I already care for several pets, I'm well versed in daily animal routines and home management. My approach centers on consistency and respect for your pet’s boundaries. From precise dietary schedules to honoring their need for space, my goal is to keep their daily routine seamless and worry free while you're away.
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 love dogs! I had a Labrador retriever for 12 years, and I now help my aunt out with her German Shepard’s, so I have plenty of experience with dogs! I will show your puppy plenty of love and take her on different routes. Dogs, especially the puppies, need to get out everyday and let their energy out. It’s not fair for them to sit inside all side, so I would love to get that off pet owner hands, while they work or enjoy their day on the beach, or whatever the case may be. I am just looking to help the puppy have the best day ever (every day) and make the pet owner worry free! Please feel free to ask any questions about my experience or your needs! I currently work full time M-F. Dogs will get walked before and after work. Fridays I usually only work 6 hours. They will get to go to my apartment dog park after work. I have a very friendly golden doodle who is 2.5 years old and loves to play with other doggies. She loves everyone. I have a dog park at my apartment and love to go for walks.
“Sarah does a great job walking Shelby. Sarah is very communicative and reliable. She is great at getting Shelby ready for her walk (putting on the dreaded harness!)”
“Devin did amazing with my two doodles! He left great notes about their walks and took a bunch of pictures to keep me updated. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Will definitely be using him again, they had a blast and loved him!”
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.
“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!”
“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. :)”
“Marlene does an amazing job making sure our dog is comfortable and happy! She really goes above and beyond to help calm him down and soothe him since he can be very anxious around new people. We highly recommend her services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
I can't recommend Chloe enough. She's new to walking Simba, but she already went above and beyond — I forgot to schedule her for a day I was working, and she made time to fit Simba in anyway, even though it wasn't planned. That kind of reliability and care means everything, especially with a new walker. So glad I found her on Rover — Simba's in great hands."
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,914 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.
