“Emily has been so helpful for me and Honey! I travel a lot and she has always made sure to be responsive and flexible. She loves my sweet girl and that’s what I want to feel when I have to leave for a week.”
“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!”
“Great as always!! Marlene has walked and fed my Alfonse on and off for about 2 years now. Whenever my work schedule gets hectic enough to need a sitter, we return to Marlene because she is the best. The utmost in reliable professionalism!”

About: Hi! I’m Raelee :) I’m a huge dog lover and have a golden retriever of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you really trust watching your dog. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pup lots of attention throughout the day, take them on walks, keep up with their normal feeding and potty schedule, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m super reliable, caring, and happy to send plenty of pictures and updates because I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else. Whether your dog is super playful or would rather just cuddle and hang out, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! I am currently working part time job so I will definitely have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and weekends! I have a fenced in yard so for your fur baby to play. I can also take them on walks as well if need be!
“Colleen was great w/ Sheba! She was very responsive to messages and questions, and communicates in a very clear style. I got really cute and thoughtful photos showcasing Sheba eating and general antics. I'm pretty sure she misses Colleen more now, than me when i go away. i will def work with her again.”
“Lisa was great! I can’t wait to book her again. She gave consistent updates and sent photos. She is always on time and spent extra care with my dogs during thunderstorms. She is sweet and kind, perfect for them! Thank you so much!”
“Julie D. was very loving with Fergus. She obviously has a way with kitties as he is usually quite shy with strangers. I enjoyed and appreciated the daily photos. Thank you Julie!”
“April is a fantastic sitter and did an amazing job with our 2 kitties. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures which I loved. She was also able to give our older cat medication without any issue. He can be finicky with takings meds so I was grateful that she was able to accomplish that easily! She is very kind and punctual and we will definitely use her again!”
“Elise was able to help me out last minute with a morning visit with my pup Nala, and executed on time and exactly as asked. Also got a few cute pictures, thank you! 😊”
“Everything was great! Devin helped us out last minute with our cats and turtle, kept us updated, and everyone was happy. We returned home to happy and healthy pets!”
“Kimberly was AWESOME! We booked her pretty much last minute two days before we needed her as we were invited on a last minute boating trip with family. She was able to come meet my three pups the day before she was needed and asked many questions. She wanted to make sure we felt safe with her coming in and wanted to keep our pups routine as close to normal as possible. Kimberly stay about 45 minutes for both stays and made sure all the pups got treats, went potty, had fresh water and were feed. She took several notes for their rover report and took pictures as well. Overall we were very happy and comfortable with Kimberly coming in and checking on our babies while we were gone. We will for sure be booking with her again in the future!!!”
“Andrea is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and met with her to potentially visit our frenchies. She was so organized and took notes and kept in consistent contact with me. Very punctual and appears to really love dogs. One Frenchie is alpha and very protective and it seemed that she was able to interact and take her potty on a leash and stroll her and play with her afterwards in our condo with no problems. Lucy, the Frenchie, got a great report card from Andrea. I think Andrea will come back. We are only part-time residents in Madeira Beach but I will definitely reach out to book her again. Makes my life so much easier. Thank you Andrea for being a dog lover and doing this service. 🥰”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Samantha made it so easy!!! She was very communicative and it seems that my boy warmed up to her so easily! The pics and videos were greatly appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Samantha!”
“I fully trusted James to take care of my cat. He was super communicative and friendly. He sent pictures throughout the stay and I will definitely be booking with him for all future drop ins!”
“Christella was great! Our cats warmed right up to her. She followed all the instructions we left for her and she even brought in our packages. I hope to hire her again next time we go out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Petersburg
Kelsey did an amazing job with my cat. She listened to directions, showed up consistently, and gave very good care...She put effort in to provide him a safe friend while I was away. She also did a few extra things that were above cat sitting. I felt lucky to find her, highly recommend.
Rachel was very respondent to phone calls that I made to her and answering all my questions. She showed up when she was supposed to. And even made adjustments to fit my needs. Browser is not the easiest of me to get along with. But they seem to have bonded, which is a very good thing, because he's getting older, and I think it's a little bit harder for older dogs. I would recommend her to anyone who asked.
Lisa was absolutely AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She truly goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pets instantly adored her, and it was so comforting knowing they were happy, loved, and well taken care of while I was away. Lisa is incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I came home to happy pets! I will definitely be booking with Lisa again. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further! 🐾❤️
I have now used Emily’s services 3 times and am very happy and comforted knowing she is looking after my kitty. She goes above and beyond and I know my fussy boy has taken a serious liking to her. I appreciate the videos and photos she sends so I am assured he is a happy camper. 😻😻😻 Amy
Holly did an amazing job! This was my first time leaving my cat, Leo, alone and getting a pet sitter so I was a bit anxious. Holly did a great job…fed him, clean the litter box, played with him, and sent lots of photos. The written updates were very cute. I very much appreciated her presence and interaction with Leo. I’d definitely use her again.
Brittany was absolutely amazing! I have both a dog and a cat, and she took such great care of them. She arrived on time for every single check-in and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend with tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the last night, my AC unexpectedly went out, and Brittany immediately alerted me. She was incredibly helpful and was even able to get it turned back on for me. She also showed so much care and concern for my dog by turning on a fan and giving her some ice water since the house had gotten a little warm. Brittany was so kind, considerate, reliable, and attentive to both of my pets. She truly went above and beyond. She is hands down the best Rover sitter I’ve had, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
Rebeca is amazing! She is so attentive, caring, and thoughtful. She took such wonderful care of our cat and gave me so much peace of mind that I could truly enjoy my time away. Her communication was excellent, and she always went the extra mile to make us feel special and cared for. I’m so happy knowing our girl was in such good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Rebeca and will definitely book with her again! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 7,079 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Petersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
