“Savannah was very sweet and professional. She’s been the best sitter I’ve had so far. She watched our dog for 6 days with no issues whatsoever. I would trust her anytime with our animals and will certainly use her again. Thank you Savannah for taking wonderful care of our baby and for such an easy, care free experience!”
“Jeannie was amazing, I would book with her again. My dog is better behaved than when I left her. She kindly updated me and shared pictures which kept me very content with know my dog was safe.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for our dog, Gumbo! She’s very pleasant and communicative. Gumbo can be finicky at mealtime while he’s at someone else’s home, but she took the time to mix in broth and hand feed him to make sure he ate. She gave regular updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing at her home. We will definitely be repeat clients! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“This was the first time I’ve been away from my boy and it was for a long stretch of time and I was going to another continent. Anxiety was high! Alyssa quelled any fear we had. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day and lots of thoughtful little check ins. Fergus was so happy to play n the yard and snuggle with her and her pup everyday. She even worked with him on some of his fears and training. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you thank you thank you a million times!”
“Susan was great with my girls. They were happy and healthy after a week at her home. Susan sent pictures and updates to let us know that they were good. Thank you Susan and we will be leaving the girls with you again.”
“Very professional. Efficient communicator. She took great care of my dog. My dog came home happy, healthy, and tired! (It should be noted that I consider that a good thing!!) I'm sure you understand what my pup means to me, and I don't trust her care to just anyone. Mrs. Liz was great to my girl.”
“Hurley felt right at home with Pamela and her dog. She took great care of him. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the day. She gave him all his medicine and walked him everyday. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!!! Next time I need someone I will use her again!!!!”
“Ruthie and her husband were incredibly kind and took such great care of our Benny. They kept him active, happy, and well loved throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily trust them with Benny again!”
“Highly recommend Jaime to watch your dog and/or visit your cat while away! I was fortunate enough to find Jaime for our most recent trip to watch our dog Kodi (13 Year Old Lab/Aussie Mix) and to visit our cat Louis (6 Year Old Bengal) during our trip. Jaime was very responsive, sent updates, and is a knowledgeable/aware sitter. Her home is great for pets as well. Kodi seemed to have a great time with her and we’ll look forward to having her stay again.”
“Adrina was absolutely wonderful! She was proactive, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney is so wonderful. My Velcro dog barely looks back at me when he spends a weekend with her. She sends frequent updates, and I feel totally comfortable having her watch my baby”
“Always reliable and super flexible with schedule - thank you again Will for being so accommodating with our travels. We can tell Bailey and Karley enjoy staying with you - its a dog owner thing!!!!! ;)”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, big & small. For the past 4 years I've boarded dogs professionally in my home. I love the work (& them!) very much. From young puppies to beloved elders, I've sat them all & seen it all! I'm very conscious of health issues, dietary restrictions, medication regimens & the like - anything & everything I can be aware of to make sure your dog is happy & healthy! I work from home so I'll be with your pet just about 24/7! Between errands, hobbies & the like, the longest I'll ever be away will be 4 or 5 hours on rare occasions; for the most part I'll just be stepping out for groceries! I have a nice little house & a big backyard that dogs just LOVE! I work from home, so I'll be spending lots of time with your fur baby! I'm always nearby for that reassurance, most dogs are very happy to nap at my feet for hours while I get work done. I'm also able to spend a lot of time playing with & comforting your dog throughout the day. Rest assured, we'll be interacting a lot!
“John is amazing! He took my cat Stella in last minute after having a bunch of issues at our home unexpectedly and me having to get me and all our pets out short notice, he has been more than gracious letting me extend and is such a nice person too and taking great care of her! Would leave him 10 stars if I could (and would like to thank him for all he has done accommodating all of our recent home issues and taking care of her longer than anticipated) he is the best.”
“As always, Dian took such great care of our babies!! She really treats them like they are her own. Thank you Dian for making our lives easier and being such a dependable sitter!”
“AJ did an amazing job taking care of my sweet angel, Luna. Before her stay, we met at a park so she could get comfortable with him, and I really appreciated that he took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand. When I dropped her off, Luna immediately felt at ease, especially with all the toys he had ready for her. She absolutely loved the dog obstacle course he put together in the courtyard! Throughout my vacation, AJ kept me updated with photos and regular check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like he cared for Luna as if she were his own. I highly recommend AJ to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Dawn took great care of our 2 boys at her house. She sent me updates and pictures and was very flexible when our return late night flight was delayed even later. We will definitely use her again.”
“My dog had so much fun with Abby and Alex!! They took notes at our meet and greet to make sure nothing was forgotten, sent great updates and pictures, and made sure Koda stuck to her normal routine with lots of walks. Koda was very comfortable with them and I will definitely be asking them to watch her again in then future!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Sam was absolutely amazing with our little high maintenance Diva Sarah. Sarah has separation anxiety, and nearly blind, when left with a stranger she can be a bit barky. Sam was so patient and gentle with her. The first couple days were rough but Sam never complained. She loved her through her anxiety and became friends. Sam as well took her in on short notice due to another Rover gal pulling out of Rover unexpectedly. By the time we came back to pick her up, Sarah was so comfortable and cozy in Sam's home. Sam kept us well informed during her whole stay. Sam definitely goes above and beyond out of true love for every animal that goes to her home.
Ruthie is wonderful!! Such a great experience for our girls. She’s so welcoming, caring and respectful of our dogs needs and quirks. And her home is a really safe place for our pups to feel at home We look forward to using Ruthie again in a few short weeks. Thank you Ruthie!! We will see you again really soon!!
Brianna was very kind and took great care of Princess. She gave Princess plenty of attention and made sure she was eating, even though she struggles to eat around new people. I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her and Brianna made her feel right at home. Princess had a great time in her home and was excited to be around her adorable children. Will definitely rebook in the future.

Sandra was great! She is incredibly warm and friendly and great with animals. She always responds timely and provides updates. Her place is clean and has a great yard. Our dog, Lily, felt right at home with her and we were fortunate to have found Sandra to watch her. We’ll be using her again soon!
Barney and Annie had their own little vacay during their stay with Leigh. She sent great pictures and updates daily and in each photo they looked so comfy and relaxed. I will absolutely send my pups to stay with Leigh again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends!
Kristin was absolutely AMAZING! She provided the best service I’ve had thus far. Upon arrival she was ready to go with a list she wrote down of everything important listed on our profile. I could not have asked for anything more from her! She updated me with a breakdown of what they did that day and shared some photos of my dog. I am extremely grateful I found her and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for stability, reassurance and great communication while you’re away from your pup! 🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,277 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Saint Petersburg. About 92% of Saint Petersburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
