“Adrina and Scarlet were friendly and professional. They gave constant updates by pictures and text and very accommodating to Whiskey’s needs. We’ll definitely use them 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.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with him! He took amazing care of our american bulldog and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dog like one of his own. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!”
“Tiffany provided an amazing home away from home for my dog lambeau while watching him! Her backyard was perfect for Lambeau to run around and explore. I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future!”
“Dian was incredible. Sunny actually went to another house with cats that kept swatting and hissing at him. He was already timid with animals so was skiddish and freaked out. We were in a bind with no animals allowed at our condo so Dian took him in very last minute. Dian had SUCH a calming atmosphere and home. She was patient with him and so was her super friendly pup. Sunny ended up relaxing and had the best time. Felt right at home. She was the absolute best sitter and I will use her any time I’m town. I would give her 10 stars if possible.”
“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.”
“I had a great experience booking with Molly.She took excellent care of Rocco, communicated perfectly, and sent plenty of updates so I knew he was doing well. It’s great finding someone so reliable and easy to work with. I’d definitely book her again. 5/5 stars.”
“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!”
“she understood our needs and loved our cat like we do while we were unable to be there, followed up daily with pictures and information very easy to deal with I would recommend her to anybody.”
“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”
“My dog loves Amy! She pays attention to what you tell her about your pup and treats it as if it were her own. I recommend Amy to all dog/cat parents and will use her services in the future.”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! She kept my miniature dachshund while I was on a vacation and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the consistent updates/photos and love she gave my dog while in her care! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Chelsea!”
“Couldn’t be more pleased with the care that this adorable family provided for our dog. Layla really enjoyed her time with them getting lots of love, snuggles and attention. They have a nice home with a great backyard. I liked how they incorporated Layla into their daily life. Both children are so good with animals and I know she loved playing and snuggling with them! She is one tired doodle today!”
“Joli was great! We were super comfortable leaving our handful of a Dane with her while we were out of town. He seemed really at home when we picked him up and she kept us updated with pictures.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Osman. She took great care of him, ensuring he was well-fed, comfortable, and happy. We appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“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.”
“Emma and William are truly AMAZING. They cared for our 3 month old puppy with tremendous kindness, care, and love. They also sent the most beautiful photos of our little guy. We were nervous leaving Alfie and Emma and William instantly made him (and us!) feel completely reassured. They are treasures and we could not be more grateful for them. Highly, highly recommend!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Mark is an angel! My pup, Fernie, is a 17 year old maltese and I had to go on a mandatory work trip for the week. I just moved to the area and so happy I found Mark on this app. He was very caring, asked specific questions about how to care for Fernie. He didn't have any other pets in his home, which was very nice since Fernie doesn't move around so well. Mark sent me a picture every day of Fernie. He went to the store to buy her some diaper pads, he gave her meds to help with her anxiety. Mark is truly special and if I ever have sitter needs in the future, I will definitely be contacting him.
Jennifer and her family treated my two goldendoodles like they were part of her own family. The whole family loved and enjoyed them, and Jennifer sent me wonderful updates and photos, so I never worried the whole week we were gone from them. This was such a positive experience for my dogs and me. You could see how happy they were in all of their photos. Jennifer was pleasant and patient and such a great communicator. I appreciated the peace and confidence of our doodles being in her care and we will definitely be utilizing her professional services again in the future.
Evette and Lady were great. This was our first time leaving Archie with a sitter and she made the experience so easy and worry free. She was a very good communicator and sent pictures often. Archie also loved having another dog to play with during his stay as he is very social. Will definitely use her again in the future.
Kolin and Adam were so wonderful. My dog deals with some anxiety in new environments and around new people, but they both made her feel right at home and safe. They provided daily updates and pictures throughout the week and were very responsive! Bebe was sad to leave the big yard and dog friendly beanbag chair. Thank you both for everything!
We had a great experience with him! He took amazing care of our american bulldog and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dog like one of his own. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!
Dawn watched our dog Zayla for a few days while we were in Europe. She was really flexible with other people dropping off and picking her up, and flexible about what our dog needed as a reactive dog who isn't great around other dogs. She also took amazing care of Zayla and sent us daily updates with pictures. Highly recommend!
We had a great first experience! The communication was excellent from start to finish and it was clear Francesca had read our care instructions, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced backyard and our dog, Gracie, settled in quickly and seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. Francesca was kind, attentive, and we'd definitely feel comfortable leaving Gracie with her again.

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.
