“Fantastic. I would highly recommend Cassandra. She takes excellent care of my dog.”

“Andy took great care of our two finicky senior pups. He genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being! He is very communicative and sends pics of their walks. He is on time for their walks, even worked around the rain because they were afraid to go out. Recommend 100%”

About: I’ve had dogs for 20 years. I used to volunteer for the SPCA to help walk, bathe, clean and train dogs. I really enjoy working with dogs and figuring out what makes them happy! I’m currently taking classes and have loads of time for walking, boarding, or going to your house to take care of your animals. I look forward to meeting them! I have a fenced in yard in the back of the house. I have one dog - a Jack Russell / chihuahua mix (we think- she’s a rescue!)

“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter that was always extremely reliable and fast to respond. We regularly used her for walks and dog sitting for our older dog. She was easily able to accommodate his health issues and provided him with excellent care and love with every booking. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter and walker!”

About: While I’m newer to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and in 2022, I brought home my first dog—a Golden Retriever puppy—and took on his training myself. He’s now a playful, loving 3-year-old who is gentle and friendly with other pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. With my flexible work schedule, I’m happy to help with dog walks or drop-in visits while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re gone! I work from home Monday through Friday. I have flexibility for drop-ins (for dogs and cats), as well as dog walking in your neighborhood. I can assist on some weekends as well, and keep my Rover calendar up to date. I offer both short-term and recurring services, depending on your need. I live in South Tampa and prefer to book services within a 4-5 mile radius. My neighborhood is very walkable, quiet, and safe. Through the years, I enjoyed caring for my family and friend's pets while they're away.

About: I'm a dependable, compassionate pet sitter who is committed to providing safe, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would expect for my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications if needed, or simply offering companionship, my goal is to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and well cared for. I value clear communication and reliability, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your booking. My priority is giving you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. My schedule is flexible, and I strive to accommodate each pet owner's needs. My availability varies from week to week because I work a part-time job with a rotating schedule. My shifts are typically between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, but my workdays are not fixed. However I am available everyday morning and evening to care for your pet and on my days off I am available all day for drop-in visits morning, afternoon, and evening. I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet's needs. Whenever possible, I am also happy to accept last-minute bookings. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, dietary needs, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care.

About: I have my own pets and know how I would want someone to treat my animals :) looking to fill in my day with sunshine and pets! I have plenty of time for walks or drop in visits, and am happy to work with dogs and cats. I am looking to get out of my work environment and spend time with animals I will care for your pets like I would my own, and will drop in and/or walk pets happily. I have a very energetic dog at home so am used to active dogs as well as lazy ones :)

“Ken was great w my girl! She really took to him quickly!”

About: What sets us apart is that your dog becomes part of a real, active family home—not just a boarding situation. With a structured daily routine, lots of attention, and a home full of care, we treat every dog like they belong with us. Your pup won’t be left alone in a quiet kennel environment—they’ll be included in family life, walks, and consistent companionship. Someone is almost always home too so you know your baby is in constant care. I am a preschool teacher and am off summer and holiday breaks. I work mornings and am only a 60 second walk from the church I work at so am available to come home quickly! We have watched many, many dogs for friends and family in past and now with the kids of age to work and the love of dogs we’re expanding! I am a preschool teacher at my church that is a 60 second walk from my house, I also have teenage triplets who both babysit and dog sit (they love to do both), so someone is always home and available for walks, feedings, and love. The triplets are very active sports wise so having our own dog in this season isn’t an option so we love any and all opportunities to have one in our home, it is such a blessing! We have a wonderful, quiet street near Bayshore perfect for walking. Most of the people on our street our retired with dogs so dogs are the children around here! Having three teenagers as well who absolutely love dogs ensures your pup is being overfilled with love.

“Elena made herself available on such short notice when I was not able to secure any walkers. Mira had such a great time with her and really appreciated her flexibility!”

Jeremy

“Bre was absolutely great! I had a scheduling issue with my original plans, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She adjusted the schedule to fit my family’s needs, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate. It was clear she genuinely cared about helping everything go smoothly. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and willingness to work with us. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and understanding dog sitter/walker.”

Ralph P.

“Small world!! we were both born up in New Jersey area. He’s a wonderful communicator. My dog immediately took to him. I’m so grateful I saw him on Rover.”

Darcie B.

“Darcey was so fantastic. Great communication and flexible schedule! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur kids.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and different pets my whole life. I will walk, play and feed your pets. But most importantly I'll show love to your pet. During walks, I can keep a pace and pick up after them. I have personally had dogs my whole life and they have been all sizes from a Yorkie mix to a Great Dane and in between. I have pet sit for very many people including cats and dogs. The safety of your pet is very important to me and I will do my best to take care of it because I understand that they are more than pets but they are family. I currently work with marine animal care so providing a safe environment for your pet is my top priority. I have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. The safety of me and your pet comes first. Throughout high school and college I have had twelve reoccurring clients for house sitting, dog and cat sitting.

“Very kind dog walker!!”
