“Brianna is extremely communicative, kind, and honest. I really appreciate her photos and detailed info shared during the stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Sydney is absolutely the best. My dog had a last minute vet appointment and the only appointment available was after I needed to be at the airport. Sydney said "of course" to taking Kugel to the vet, and everything went seamlessly.”
“Cynthia is phenomenal! She is sweet, kind, and very caring. As a new pup mom, I was nervous. She allowed me to meet her before I booked, which set me at ease. She sent me photos and videos and updates during my pup’s stay. I would 100% recommend and use her again! Thank you, Cynthia! 🐶”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! She took such good care of our pup and spoiled her even more than we do. She was very communicative and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout each day while she was dog sitting. She took all of the information we gave about our dog and followed our preferences without any hesitation. She had other dogs and cats staying and was very attentive to make sure they were all well taken care of. Easy drop off and pick up. I will absolutely have her take care of our dog again.”
“Kelly is so amazing and loving! She took such great care and gave my babies so much love 😍😍🌲 I was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my kids were in a safe, clean and loving home 😍🌲 Thank you Kelly ❤️🔥”
“Hershey had a wonderful stay with Ms. Sally. He got lots of attention, cuddles and walks. Daily pictures and updates on how he was doing was a great. I would definitely recommend and book with her again.”
“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.”
About: I have always had a knack for connecting and caring for dogs from caring for our family’s yellow lab and red nose pit growing up, to fostering dogs between homes, to now raising my own two, Dallas and Zeus. My experience spans the full range — young puppies to elderly dogs, and pets small enough to fit in your palm to 90-lb lap dogs. I offer both boarding and dog walking, and I take real pride in doing both right — clean, organized, and dependable every time. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need close attention: detailed feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines are never a problem. I work from home with a large fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and attention throughout the day I work independently and remotely from home so I’m always around to be attentive to your pets! This allows me to cater to any complex needs/instructions your pet might require. My home comes with a fenced in quarter acre backyard for the pups to play and get every last ounce of energy out! When it’s time to relax the furniture is free game for everyone in the house. I take pride in keeping a clean home for the pups and myself to relax in. For walks, I make sure to let the pups take in all the smells and always stopping for them to cure their curiosity. I know the Florida heat is no joke so I carry to go bowls with me and always make sure their water bowls are full and have somewhere nice and cool to escape from the heat.
“Bri took care of my labradoodle for almost 2 weeks. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. She did a fantastic job and I will Be using her again. Pa. She has the sweetest Aussie that kept my baby company, and they played for days.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Liz and Brian watching Lou while we were out of town for a few days. They were friendly, easy to communicate with,and sent photos of Lou while we were gone. Their home was neat and tidy and they have a nice backyard that Lou enjoyed with their dog Rocky. We appreciated that that they only watch one households pet at a time with their dog Rocky. We would have no hesitation using them again in the future. Lou was happy and tired when we got him home.”
“Nikki was great. Easy to contact for drop off and pick up and she sent several updates and pictures during Winfield’s stay. He was happy and content when we picked him up yesterday. Highly recommend Nikki and we will definitely use her again.”
“I have never boarded my 2 dogs but once I met Shaida I felt confident it would be great. Just picked them up And they were so happy. Everything was great. Her home is spacious and so much outside space right in downtown. Very convenient for me. Will be using her again”
“Will is absolutely great with Ivy. He regularly sends photos and is always responsive - keeping us updated. We feel completely comfortable leaving Ivy with Will and his family. They have a great space with a fenced in yard that is perfect. And… they are the nicest people!! I highly recommend Will - your pup will be in great hands!”
“Tiffany and her boys are great! Reece was well taken care of and came home happy as can be. She sent photos and updates while I was gone and got back to me in a timely manner any time I reached out. I will definitely be using Tiffany again in the future!”
“Sandra was amazing! She took such great care of Coco and would definitely use her again! She sent me updates and pics anytime I needed them:) thanks Sandra for taking care of Coco ❤️”
“Natalia and Kyler were great. Very responsive and great with updates. They have a big yard and our dog is kinda nervous but warmed up to them quickly. Would definitely recommend and use their service again! Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
"Absolutely incredible experience! She was professional, reliable, and kept me at ease with constant daily updates, photos, and videos. She made sure my dog got at least two walks a day (too hot in summer for more than that) and potty breaks every 2 hours. Highly recommend!"
This was our first time using rover and Susan set the bar very high!! She was very professional and loving with our young puppy Ridley. She was patient and got to know him during our meet and greet. She made us feel like our dog would be in safe and capable hands. She asked a lot of questions to properly care for him and his individual needs. During the stay, she sent us multiple photos and videos as well as typed updates as to how the days and nights went. She was very easy to communicate and get in touch with over the course of our weekend away. Can't recommend enough, we will definitely be booking again with her in the future.
Thanks for watching Zeek again. He loves you guys. He is almost as sad to leave your house as he is to leave mine. Haha. A lovely home away from home. I always love all of the photos. He also keeps staring at my coffee table like “why don’t we have a giant bean bag too, mom?! 🙂
Jeweliet and her family were wonderful! The moment Mac and I walked into their clean and lovely home, I felt a peace and immediately knew that Mac would be well taken care of. He definitely was. Jeweliet’s communication was very efficient, along with her ability to give all his medications. She even catered to a last minute time change when I picked him up. I will definitely be using Jeweliet and her family in the future, and look forward to doing so!
Laurie is a one of a kind boarder/sitter❤️. There will never be another like her! She took care of Jersey like he was one of her own. I appreciate Laurie & her husband for loving Jersey. We are going to miss you so much since we are moving out of state. Godspeed 💜🐾
Peggy was wonderful! We felt completely comfortable leaving Penny with her, and we really appreciated that she sent us pictures every day. It was so nice getting those little updates while we were away and knowing Penny was happy and being well cared for. We would absolutely book with Peggy again!

There are 3,247 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.

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.
