Samantha is amazing. My cat Marilyn was so happy and comfortable, which means everything to me. This was a last-minute booking and she really helped me out in a pinch. I would absolutely book with her again.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I raised and cared for everything from high-energy German Shepherds and independent Shiba Inus, to intelligent Poodles and sweet Papillons. In addition to owning pets, my family and I have fostered dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds my entire life. This lifelong experience has taught me how to read dog body language, build quick trust, and provide the exact care, patience, and exercise your pup needs. Whether your dog loves long, athletic runs or gentle, sniff-heavy strolls, they will be treated like family with me I am available full time throughout the week and am very flexible with last minute bookings. Monday- Sunday 8am-8pm. Please send a message and we can discuss further. I have a safe place for them to stay and great walking trail nearby. All fenced in and ready to be cared and walked. I also do drop in visits and overnights at clients home.

I’m really glad that I found Libby for drop ins. She’s super reliable, responsive and I know she follows the instructions that I give for Milo. I appreciate getting picture updates and updates on what they did during the drop in. I’ve used Libby twice now and am really glad I can rely on her to check in on my pup

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.

Amazing cat sitter! Dallas did a fantastic job with drop-in visits for Obi. I loved the detailed report cards and updates, and it was clear she took the time to truly play with him and keep him happy. She gave me total peace of mind while away. 10/10 recommend!

Christella was amazing! My cat can be a little shy and hide but Christella was patient and took the time to make my cat feel comfortable. I was gone for two weeks and received daily pictures of them playing, which made being away easier. She followed the instructions I left perfectly and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!

Sam is an absolute gem!! I have worked with pet sitters for decades and never had as positive an experience as we did with her. She is not only punctual, thorough, communicative, and an absolutely lovely person, but she went above and beyond spending time with our cat Daisy, sending pictures and videos for each visit, and ensuring that she did everything she could to make our sweet girl feel loved and cared for in our absence. This is definitely a calling for her and we are so grateful to have met her. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone with any pet needs of any kind! She’s as good as it gets 🐾❤️

Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saint Petersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Petersburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,034 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.
