“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.”
“David is absolutely amazing! He watched my senior dog while I was out of town for a weekend and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog Cupid felt like he was at home and not with a stranger. David by far is the best host I think anyone can ask and I’ll always be using David in the future! Only downside is I feel like my dog Cupid didn’t want to come with me because he has such a great time with David lol”
“Xenia provided pictures and updates during Louie's stay. Having to board a 4 month old pup is stressfull, however Xenia was reassuring that he would be a good fit in their home and with their older dog. Louie was happy when I came to pick him up.”
“Dawn was wonderful. My good boy had the best time. He played ball in the backyard and was well taken care of. Gil even participated in her son’s sleepover and loved it. He loved all the attention he received. Dawn sent plenty of pictures letting me know how my good boy was doing. I definitely recommend Dawn.”
“Sydney is simply the best! She genuinely cares for my dog as if he were her own and always gives me complete peace of mind when I'm away. I know he's in loving, capable hands, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Rachel was amazing in taking care of our cat. She sent bunch of pictures and videos. Our Osman was comfortable in her house, and we were happy knowing he is in good hands.”
“Lauren is so great with communication and made pick up and drop off easy. She is WONDERFUL with senior dogs!!! My dogs had a great time with her and we will be back.”
“Dian treats our puppies like her own!! They have absolutely loved spending the past couple of weekends with her. They cry when we leave because they miss Dian and her puppy. We are new to the st. Pete area and thrilled we have found the perfect sitter for our pups! You won’t regret booking with Dian.”
“As a pet owner, it’s easy to tell when someone watching your pet really cares. And Chelsea was the epitome of that. She gave me so many updates on Tech and you could tell she just treated him like he was her own. Tech got multiple walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles, and he came home happy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!!”
“Tiffany is extremely versed in taking care of pups especially ones that can be a handful like mine :) Great house, safe, and big backyard for my pit-a-potomus to roam in :)”
“Amy is amazing she took such a great care of our dog she is really patience and caring. She sent us a lot of pictures and updates while we were out. I highly recommend her and will contact her again for future boarding”
“Laurie and Cooper were amazing hosts for Roxanne.. She is a great communicator, sent me regular updates and pictures and I felt at ease knowing Laurie was looking after my puppy :) I will absolutely have Laurie watch Roxanne again the next time I visit...”
“A stunning experience with Erandi! She has a beautiful home with a fantastic outdoor space for the pups. I got tons of photo updates and didn't doubt for a second that they weren't in good hands. Pups came back feeling great, not stressed, will definitely book again.”
“Excellent! Our pitbull was Very happy, pampered, and well cared for during his stay with Rich while we were away, loved the pictures we received, trustworthy, highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and was very happy with the care Kaitlyn provided to Rusty. Will use Rover again and recommend Kaitlyn. She provided frequent updates with pictures which was reassuring that he was doing well.”
“Kolin and Adam were wonderful pet sitters for my 3 year old cavalier! They took excellent care of him, sent me great updates on how he was doing, asked appropriate questions about his care and also sent some really cute pictures! They both are very user friendly and have a great sense of humor. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them as pet sitters.”
“They were so nice and treated my boy like their own! I was out of the country so being so far away was nerve-racking but at the same time I was confident he was in good hands. And he was for sure. With constant updates and pictures I am able to say I really couldn’t worry even if I wanted to. Forever grateful for these two! Thank you guys so much!”
Saint Petersburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shadow loves spending time with Billy. He’s always well taken care of. I appreciate how detailed Billy’s reports are- he lets me know about my Shadow’s mood, eating habits, how he’s settling in, etc. Although I miss my Shadow when I have to travel out of town, I know he will be in great hands living the retired life with Billy and enjoying a yard to roam around in. I’d book Billy again for long trips!
Nut had such a great time hanging out at Libby’s house while we were out of town. Their dog is so friendly and quickly became a new pal of Nut’s. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures from Libby and knew Nut was in great hands. I will absolutely rebook with Libby in the future.
I just moved to St. Pete and am very thankful to have found Lauren so last-minute when a work trip popped up! Communication and scheduling were very easy. She asked questions about Casey's care/routinr and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I also got daily pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend Lauren and will be rebooking for sure!
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!
Our dogs always enjoy their stays with Lindsey. She provides great pictures and ongoing updates when they are with her, and it’s very clear they are well cared for at her house. With two senior dogs, and one on medication, I want to be careful about who is looking after them and I do not hesitate to send them to stay with Lindsey. She’s great and I highly recommend her Rover services.
Jane and Dan were absolutely amazing with our two dogs again. This is our second time using them and they honestly treat them like their own. It is such a relief to know that we can go out of town now and not have to worry. We were previously using a local big name boarding facility and had some bad experiences. The dogs are so happy at Jane and Dan's,l and it is like being at a home away from home where they get constant care, cuddles, kisses and playtime, and we get lots of updates and pictures.
Christian was such a dream with Sunny and Ember! I’ve never boarded my boys before and I was a nervous cat mom, but he was extremely patient with them and sent amazing photos and videos throughout their stay. I will absolutely keep Christian as my #1 forever and ever when I travel!
