“Rachel did a great job with my diabetic cat and his brother. She’s a natural giving insulin injections and her communication was much better than other sitters I’ve had. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”
“Well, I've said it already and I'll say it again, Emily is the GOAT! My domestic menagerie is in good hands as Emily is professional, dependable and so sweet to everyone (even me, the zookeeper). Do I have to write reviews every time?! You'll see many reviews from me then because, as long as Emily wants, we will always have her care for our babies when the need arises!”
“We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!”
About: Hi! I've been taking care of furry friends since I was 11! I’m kept on my toes by my 1 year old mini dachshund, Koda, who I've raised since he was a baby. I also have experience with senior care through my little old man, Hawkeye. I'm a current law student and young professional and I would love to help others who need some pet lovin’ worked into their busy schedules! There's no puppy too energetic, sleepy, or playful!! My pup has separation anxiety so I am very familiar with pets sometimes needing a bit of extra care. When your furry friend is with me, they will be my #1 priority and receive all of my attention and love! I'm currently in law school, and working part time, and would love to work with you to find how we can work pet care into our schedules! I have a fully fenced back yard, and gates that can be used inside my home. I have a friendly, if not sometimes shy, mini dachshund that loves playing with smaller dogs especially or just sleeping on the couch all day! We’re both comfortable with and enjoy any level of play.
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.
“Colleen spent amazing quality time with my Kitty. I can tell just looking at the photos that my cat enjoyed her company and found her as a safe person to be around! Thank you Colleen!”
About: I’ve always helped out with animals in my community. I volunteered at a dog kennel in highschool, and my neighbor growing up traveled a lot so I would feed and walk his dog every morning for nearly two years along with caring for my own dog. I work from home partially, and have a part time job in the weekends. My schedule changes frequently but I have plenty of spare time and am always willing to make arrangements for work. I do not offer in home services, but I am comfortable pet sitting or caring for your pets while away! I love long walks, and chilling on the couch so no matter how high or low energy your pet may be I’m willing to accommodate what’s best for you and them :).
“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”
“Thomas was amazing. When he initially came to meet our dog they had an instant connection. Throughout the process, I was updated with photos and messages on how things were going. I will definitely book with Thomas again!”
About: Raised with five pets and over a decade of experience, I've cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs. I have a border-collie mix that is timid at first but gets along with others! I don’t board more than one dog at a time to ensure the best care for your pet. Available for early morning and weekday lunchtime walks. Let's discuss your dog's schedule! I work full-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to take breaks for pet care. My mornings and afternoons are especially open. Just let me know your preferred time, and I'll be there! At someone else’s home, I try to make the dog feel as comfortable as possible with a new person in their space. I pay attention to the notes from owners.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
“Sidney was wonderful! She sent me a note and multiple pictures during her drop in visit, she did everything as we discussed and more, you could see how much Smoky enjoyed her time with him, I would not hesitate to recommend her and use her again.”
About: I have watched friends and family’s dogs, since I was 10, the neighbors dogs love me too. I like to call my self the dog whisperer! They know I love them and I sense they can feel it . Petting fits well in my schedule! I love getting to love all the animals it’s like therapy for me . After a stressful day I get to wined down with them ! I would care for your animals as if they were my own. Dogs and cats have such pure souls and are Angels on this earth. They will be treat with the upmost respect!
About: Hi! My name's Olivia and I've been an animal person my whole life. I currently have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a turtle, and a tortoise! Pets are more than just animals, they're our best friends and an important part of our lives. I've been trusted by co-workers, friends, and family to care for their furry friends for a couple of years, giving them a peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well taken care of. My goal is to provide that same care to every pet entrusted in me! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which keeps me home and available locally most days. Since I already care for several pets, I'm well versed in daily animal routines and home management. My approach centers on consistency and respect for your pet’s boundaries. From precise dietary schedules to honoring their need for space, my goal is to keep their daily routine seamless and worry free while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Christina is great! She is timely, reliable, and really good with our dogs. Even our senior dog, who is deaf and not always trusting of new people, went right up to her and kissed her. Dogs know people, and that said it all! I highly recommend hiring Christina for your fur baby care.
Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Stella was amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our 3 cats and made me feel like we had nothing to worry about while out of the country! She was consistent, on time, and even my shy cats loved her and posed for her photos. Would absolutely book her again!
Sarah was phenomenal! She communicated with me daily, sent so many photos of our babies, and wrote detailed summaries after each visit. She went above and beyond and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats clearly loved her, and it was such a relief knowing they were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t be happier and will absolutely book with her again! 💗
Maggi was great! She made me feel at ease being away from my animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking. She was super sweet, sent me plenty of images to put my mind at ease when I was missing them, and always showed up around the same time. 10/10!
Melissa was wonderful with my elderly cat. She was able to give him his medication, sat with him to make sure he ate and had some company. She also followed up with several pics each visit which gave me peace of mind. Would definitely recommend and would book with her again!!
Wonderful experience with Alexandria! I am so grateful to have found her for my kitties and will be booking with her again. She provided thorough updates and took great care of them and their space. Loved the sweet photos she sent, as well. Thank you, Alexandria!
Sofia is honestly one of more impressive young women you’re likely to meet. She’s extremely poised, mature and speaks about my pup with a genuinely kind heart. My bulldog, “Lula,” is my everything and it is a RELIEF to have a sitter who I have zero concerns about as to Lula’s happiness or wellbeing when she’s in her care. My Lu-boo was obviously very pleased with her because she was quite happy/spunky when I got home. That only happens with the right sitter. Sophia’s a gem.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Petersburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Petersburg. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
