“Brittany was amazing, really investing in making friends with our cats, even the one that was being standoffish. She also sent tons of pictures and a quick written update that I really appreciated. Looking forward to having her sir for us again.”
“Dan was great - a good communicator, and took great care of our cat a Phoenix. He was attentive, sent photos, and followed instructions to keep ants out of our cats food. Highly recommend!”
“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 had my dog from age 6-18 and I was her main caretaker. I taught her a lot of tricks, so I am familiar with a lot of common commands. She was so special to me, so I can ensure that I will always treat your pets with the most kindness and respect to honor that bond. I am currently going to college, but I have a lot of flexibility. Early mornings are hard for me with my classes, but I am typically available in the afternoon and evening! While boarding, I have a fenced in yard as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. Either while boarding or pet sitting, I make sure that I learn their routines from you and make sure that I follow them as closely as possible.
“Melanie was wonderful! I could tell instantly that she has a love for all animals and pets. She was great with my fur babies which included: my dog, cat, and rabbit! She is extremely outgoing and if I could give a 10 star review I would. You will not be disappointed if you select her to care for your fur babies. I will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’m a kind, calm, reliable, and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially dogs! 🐶❤️ I have about 4 years of experience dog sitting, doing check-ins, and caring for pets in their homes. I grew up around animals and have always loved taking care of them. During college, I regularly helped friends and others with their pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always treat your pet with the love, patience, and care they deserve! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty open availability! I am available any week day, will let you know if any days do not work for me! I am open for weekends and any week long stays. I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your home, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m available for overnight house sitting, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, medication administration if needed, and general companionship!
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 :).
About: I’ve been pet sitting for more than 10 years and I volunteered at OCAS animal shelter for more than 4 years where I was trained in advanced dogs handling. I love animals and nature most of all. Your pets will be happy and safe with me. I am available for morning, afternoon, evening sitting and walks. I try to be as flexible as possible to meet pet’s parents needs and wishes. I take dogs out for long walks, I take care of dogs and cats in their homes feeding them, playing with them and petting them.
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ I currently work partime, Mon, Fri, & Sun from 2-8, otherwise I am at your pet's bark and claw. I take only only one client at a time to be sure your pet(s) have the best possible experience. When caring for your pet, I am mindful to adhere to your pets schedule and to spend as much time with them as possible so they know they are safe and loved in your absence.
About: Hi, I'm Rain, your St. Pete pet sitter! 🐾 Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. At home I have three dogs (a husky/Pit mix, a chihuahua/Pit mix, and a lab/mastiff mix, ages 2, 7, and 14) plus two cats, and I feed eight neighborhood strays every day. Between puppy energy and senior-dog needs, I've seen it all. Experience • Pet and house sat 10+ years for friends and family • Walked and cared for dogs of every size, from tiny to giant • Puppy and elder dog experience • Comfortable giving oral medications to both dogs and cats • Happy to clean up any mess your pet makes. I pick up dog poop and scoop litter boxes every single day at home, so it's no big deal to me What I offer • House sitting in your home. I work full time from home and can work anywhere with WiFi, so your pets get company all day, and I'm happy to water your plants too • Drop-in visits and regular walks • Pet taxi to parks, vet or grooming appointments, playdates, or wherever they need to go • Travel and holiday coverage. I'm in St. Pete all of November and December and available for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and everything in between. Holiday spots fill up fast, so message me early :) I know how precious my own space and my pet kids are to me, so I treat your home and your babies with the same care and respect. Send me a message and let's set up a meet and greet! 🐶🐱 I’m currently working full time from home. I can work from anywhere that has WiFi! I can pretty much accommodate any request but do have to make sure my babies at home are cared for as well. I am happy to stick to feeding schedules, consider dietary restrictions, go for walks, dog park visits, take your babies to appointments if needed. If there’s ever anything additional I can do for you and your babies just ask :)
“Lauren is always amazing with my animals! I trust her completely when I need to leave my babies behind. She’s very reliable and I know my Border Collie loves to see her!”
“OMG, Alissandra is a life saver and went beyond our ask by taking care of our babies, but taking care of a major issue at the house with a large delivery that was delivered a day earlier. Alessandra stepped in and by herself brought inside the house more than 65 boxes of flooring. I cannot thank her enough for all she did and instead of stars, she should be getting diamonds. Thank You, Alissandra you are amazing and will be making additional doggie seatings with you and no one else. ❤️”
About: I've been pet/house sitting since 2020 and have taken care of elderly dogs, young dogs, dogs with pacemakers, dogs that don't do well on the leash, cats, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, fish and orchids. Starting in July, I’ll be wide open and available days, nights, weekends, and weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I’m open to pet sitting at our home or yours. We have one pup who is here part-time (joint custody) so if your pup needs to be the only one, we can make that happen. We have a fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and relax. I typically plan for two walks a day plus time outside in between, but am more than happy to tailor a schedule that fits your pets needs.

Thank you so much Libby for taking such great care of my Dad’s cat while he was on his first vacation in forever!! He was so worried to find someone he could trust, and you did a wonderful job! We appreciated all the detailed updates and the time you spent with him. We will definitely be using you again! 🥰
Absolutely wonderful experience! My sitter took such great care of my two pugs while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and incredibly accommodating, even fitting in an extra last-minute visit. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands, especially my senior pug who needs a little extra attention. I came home to two happy pups! So grateful for her care and would highly recommend!
Super nice and personable! My shy kitty literally hid inside a bathroom cabinet and Julianna spent over 45 minutes searching my apartment for her and did not give up until she found my baby 😭 so nice to see how much she cares about my babies even when it was her first time cat sitting for me!
Linzey was so good with my three boys my cats Especially my one that has cardiomyopathy he takes medicine for He ended up getting real sick, while I was away on a cruise Linzey did everything she could to get him to an emergency hospital because he was in critical condition Even though I didn’t have great service she did everything she could to inform me and she let me know at the hospital what was going on If it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t have made it. She was great with my other two cats as well. I will definitely be using her again
Sidney was wonderful! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat while I was away. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated Sidney’s kindness and attentiveness, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Dan consistently goes above and beyond! I honestly don’t know what I would do without him. He’s incredibly patient, kind, and caring with my dogs, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. He even goes the extra mile to clean up accidents in the house without hesitation. His thoughtfulness, reliability, and genuine care mean the world to me. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Kelsey is the best! From the moment we met, we knew she was the perfect match for our family. Her warm, friendly personality immediately put us at ease, and we trust her completely with our sweet Lottie. She is dependable, caring, and truly wonderful with her. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Lottie is in such loving hands when we’re away. We couldn’t be happier and feel so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Petersburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Petersburg is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,146 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Petersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
