About: Home away from home level love. Expect expert level care, with lots of love, play and snuggles! I only take a few dogs at a time, so that it doesn't get too crowded and everyone gets plenty of attention. We take puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, guinea pigs...you name it! I work from home, so I am rarely away from the pups on weekdays. Drop off times are pretty flexible. Pick up time ends at 8pm. I love when I have conference calls at home and the dogs make a cameo appearance. It makes everyone's day! I have a nice fenced in yard with shady spots throughout. There is a pool that the dogs can swim in if they want. I also have security cameras inside so I can check in when we are not home. Dogs love our doggie door for the freedom to come and go.
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.
“Brianna was absolutely amazing with Ashe! She was able to watch my dog very last minute and Brianna responded within minutes! I will be booking again l and highly recommend!”
“Julie + Brian are SO nice! Super sweet, kind, caring, and 100% dog lovers! Appreciate you and can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of my dog-ter!”
“To say Kratos had a great time with Venus and fur friends is an understatement ! I received updated statuses regularly and never once wondered what my lil land shark was up to. She gave him such a great balance of play time and quiet time. Her dogs are very kind and gentle with play time with my puppy. She was incredibly attentive and kept a watchful eye on our crazy pup. Kratos was heartbroken everyday to leave his fur friends behind when it came time to me picking him back up. I would request her to watch him again in a heartbeat ! Her place is his home away from home 💕🐶 I can’t thank her enough for the pawesome pet sitting she provided !”
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!
About: I am a former public school counselor who has left the field to commit to pet care full time. I am passionate about animals. I have experience with rescue animals young and old. I work well with nervous or anxious rescue dogs of all ages, cats as well. I spend most of my free time with my dog and cat. I grew up with dogs, cats and a bird. I have worked with puppies, kittens, and elderly animals with specific physical and behavioral needs. I look forward to working with your furry friends. I spend most of my time walking dogs & checking in on dogs and cats! I love walking and playing with my cat and dog and love to send pictures and updates while spending time with your pet. I tend to my dog frequently with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Happy to take all the time I need with your pet to ensure they have the level of care that you typically provide.i am also fully insured for your peace of mind.
“Absolutely incredible experience. Laurie was kind communicative and absolutely showered my baby and so much love. Very easy to book and would happily book her again if I was in the area. Hands-down, one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Thank you for taking such great care of Junie 🩷”
“Dian is fantastic. Responded quickly, made everything easy, and our pups loved each other. Nancy Drew didn't stop smiling from her big visit with Dian until she fell asleep. Will definitely use Dian again.”
“Michelle is fantastic! She provided fast and clear communication, frequent photo updates, and a great environment for our dog. She made our nervous girl feel welcomed and loved. Will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
“Gabby was really great with Finn. Huge property that allowed him and other pups to play and just be dogs. Glad I was able to find Gabby so close to my house. Next time Finn needs doggie daycare or if I go out of town, I will definitely use Gabby again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and love every dog as if they’re my own. I have experience with all life stages and personalities - whether your dog is high energy and needs lots of playtime or is a senior who just wants to relax and be loved on. I am used to medication management, special diets, mobility challenges and bottle feeding. My adult dog, Olive, is always looking for a new friend to play with. I also foster puppies from time to time, so there may be lots of new friends for your pup to interact with while they’re here. I tailor my care to match animals’ personality and routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether that is day care during the day or a long-term trip, they will be in good hands. I am fully remote and will be with your pup(s) all day. We will have plenty of outdoor play time during the day and always make time for afternoon naps. There is a nice 3 mile walking path by my house, so if your dog is very active and likes to walk or run, I would love to bring them along. For less active dogs, there will always be a comfy spot on the couch for them! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for them to explore. My dog, Olive, loves to run around back there. There are also cooling mats on the back porch if your dog likes to sunbathe.
“Marc & Erandi provides an absolutely amazing experience! They accepted my booking super last minute and were incredibly kind, communicative, and caring the entire time. They sent pictures which made me feel so reassured while I was away. My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, quick to communicate, and thoughtful sitters!”
“Bailey had another great day with Alyssa & Ace. Alyssa is so patient with Bailey! We could not have found a better sitter to help us bring Bailey out of her shell. :-)”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong pet-sitter, new to the platform. After recently losing my elderly cocker spaniel, I am looking to return to caring for other people’s pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and hamsters, and live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and walking distance to three different parks. I am retired from healthcare, BLS certified, active, fun-loving and professional. I look forward to meeting your pet! I have an empty nest and am an active young retiree, so I am home all day except for trips to the park for exercise and the petstore for treats! I live in a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for quick potty breaks, but prefer taking walks around one of the beautiful nearby parks if your dog is willing. I welcome all well-behaved dogs, crate-trained or not.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Saint Petersburg is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
What a find! The beautiful Ramona has a heart of gold, and Alex and Andy are okay too! Under Alex's intuitive care, my nervous pup pranced on a walk, then melted into a lap dog, happy to be where Alex was. At the end of the stay, my little one was calm as could be, emitting little moans of pleasure like she does when she is intensely happy. I'm very grateful and will definitely be back.
Jennifer is truly beyond amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my fur baby with anyone, and she gave us complete peace of mind. She cared for our baby as if she were a human child — with so much love, patience, and attention. The updates and pictures she sent made everything worry‑free. Jennifer is heaven‑sent, and I highly recommend her.
Mark took great care of my two small pups when I took them to his home for doggy daycare. He was kind and knowledgeable, sent photos of their stay, and communicated often and clearly with me. His home was clean and welcoming and felt very safe for the dogs. We will definitely use Mark’s services in the future.
Adrina is the best! She cared for my puppy so well and he did so good in her care! He went on a walk and played with her sweet dog, had so much fun and came home tired! She sent me plenty of pictures and updates, which was so great to see! We are big fans of her and will be back:)
We had the absolute BEST experience with Tiffany watching our 8-year-old German Shepherd, Piper Rose! From the moment we met her, we knew Piper was in loving and capable hands. Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure Piper felt comfortable, happy, and cared for while we were away. We got updates, photos, and could clearly see how relaxed and content Piper was the entire time which was amazing since I’m always a worried mom dropping her kid off at “school” . When we picked her up, she was calm, happy, and honestly looked like she had her own little vacation! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was being treated like family. Tiffany is kind, reliable, attentive, and truly has a special way with dogs. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet Piper Rose! 💓💓 We will be using Tiffany again when we visit!
Marc & Erandi provides an absolutely amazing experience! They accepted my booking super last minute and were incredibly kind, communicative, and caring the entire time. They sent pictures which made me feel so reassured while I was away. My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, quick to communicate, and thoughtful sitters!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint Petersburg commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,427 sitters in Saint Petersburg, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
