“Teri is the best and I will always use her and have been for more than a year! Would not trust anyone else and I am extremely picky with who watches my child. Thank you Teri :)”
“Fantastic experience with Julie and Brian. Astro was excites to meet the other dogs there. He seemed quite happy with his stay. Would recommend them to others.”
“Alyssa has definitely became an Auntie to my Macki!!! She has a patience and heart of an ideal dog (and dog mom) whisperer!! She sends great updates, gives appreciative feedback, and her personality shines through and through!!! Will definitely use her expertise continuously!!!”
“Evette and her sweet lab Lady made our fur babies feel right at home! They were so happy/relaxed/tired from playing all day when we picked them up! Evette was so professional and accommodating, easy to trust right away. She sent so many amazing updates and photos about their stay together! We will for sure be asking her for help again!”
About: Dog person through and through—I grew up with a chow/husky mix and spent the last five years as a very devoted dog mom to a chocolate lab/pit mix. Since then, I’ve been the go-to for friends’ dogs, whether that’s quick drop-ins or longer stays while they’re out of town. I’ve hosted multiple dogs at once (we used to joke my place was a “puppy palace”), so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I previously sat on Rover in Denver and am now in St. Pete, excited to get back to spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your dog like my own—expect regular updates, photos, and a happy, well-cared-for pup. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their pace. I work 100% remote for a software company. I can easily pop out during the day between meetings/calls and am free to board pets when I am in town. I know your dog is family, and I treat them that way. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a large one-bedroom apartment (no other pets) near the pier with plenty of grassy areas for walks. I have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get lots of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. Dogs are absolutely welcome on the couch and bed here—this is a relaxed, safe environment where they can feel at home.
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.
“We are so so glad we found Alli! Our 1 year old Australian shepherd Harry has a lot of energy and can often be a handful. Alli is wonderful with him! She sends updates several times a day and is always keeping us in the loop. Her sweet dog Mack is the perfect playmate for Harry and insures that he comes home tired :) we know whenever Harry is with Alli he is in amazing hands.”
“Sydney was the absolute best with our little cockapoo baby, Lia. I was nervous coming from NY, not knowing anyone in the area. She reassured me Lia would be in great hands and did not disappoint. She gave her walks (they saw dolphins 🥰), potty breaks, helped our Lia become comfortable around another pup and new surrounding. Checked in and sent pics throughout the day. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend her. Lia will definitely be back to visit ❤️ thank you so much Sydney”
“Christina was so great with my dog Molly. Molly is afraid of people and other dogs but Christina quickly had her relaxed and mingling with the other dogs. She sent me lots of pictures during her stay and I couldn’t believe it, she was happy and playing with the other dogs! Christina has a wonderful house and large lawn, and she is with the dogs all day. She keeps all the dogs relaxed and happy. It’s like a summer camp! Molly can’t wait to go back!”
“Maddie was fantastic with Charlie! She made the experience stress-free by keeping me in the loop with regular updates and pictures throughout the day. I’ll definitely continue going to her in the future — highly recommend!”
“Amazing as always! Lauren was great for a last minute day to ourselves and we felt much comfortable enjoying ourselves knowing Bear was having just as much fun with Lauren and River all day!”
“Fabulous week for Juno our Alaskan Husky mix! She was so settled and happy with Denise and her Border Collie Frankie! Such peace of mind knowing Juno was in good hands and happy. Denise is a wonderful person. She understands dogs and she totally gets dog owners worries too. Would not hesitate to use her 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.
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”
“Beverly was awesome with my girl Pippa! She was even willing to meet up with us previous to the booking to ensure that another dog in her care and my dog got along well. Thank you!”

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!
Pamela was awesome! Petey had a great time with her and her cute pups. They went on walks and played in the yard and he came home tired and happy. She was flexible with my early morning drop off time and great with communication. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saint Petersburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 2,418 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.
