“Absolutely loved her! She took amazing care of my home and my pets and she sent so many pictures of my babies that it made leaving a lot easier. I will definitely rebook her in the future!”
“Angelica did an amazing job with our 3 fur kids and our home! She communicated clearly and provides updates with the pups. She was kind and respectful of our animals and home. We would absolutely have her sit again!”
“Cathy was a great house sitter who looked after our two cats while we were traveling. She communicated really well, drove down to meet the cats before confirming the booking, and showed up on time before us leaving to get access to the building. She also did a wonderful job communicating during our travel/ her stay with the cats. She took care of the cats’ medications needs, too! What I loved most about her is how prompt she is about responding to any messages. She kept us updated with pictures and lots of other information. She has been kind to the cats and tolerated them sleeping in/ on her suitcase, ha ha. We found the cats happy and healthy. She also took care of our place, it looks great- just as we left it. She also washed the sheets and towels and overall left the place exactly as she found if not better☺️ She is a kind person, and very personable. We loved having her as a house / cat sitter and will contact her again when we need her care. Thanks much, Cathy! And see you soon ☺️”
“Janiellee was absolutely amazing from the initial inquiry to the very last second. I unfortunately had a sitter cancel last minute just 2 days before my trip and was pretty nervous about finding a quality sitter so last minute but luckily I found Janiellee! She was so prompt with her responses and made it very easy to set up a meeting. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a sitter so she helped walk me through all the information she would need to be able to provide the best possible care for my pup and was just the sweetest person. During the stay, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates so I always felt at ease about how my pup was doing. I had expressed to her that my pup has separation anxiety and the best thing for him is just to have as much company as possible so she brought her work set up to my home to be able to spend as much time as possible with him! I came home to a happy pup and a home that looked like nobody had even been in it! I cannot recommend Janiellee enough for all of your pet care needs!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kiana for an overnight (13 nights!), and we were really pleased. We will definitely entrust our girls and home to Kiana in the future. She took good care of both, and we were happy to receive daily updates from her.”
“Goku was well taken care off . He was a bit sad when we got home but his overall demeanor was good , letting us know that Meghan followed the instructions/ recommendations , well . Thank you”
“Lee was great with my pups! He earned their trust very fast and spent a lot of quality time with them. He sent me many photos and videos, and updated my constantly so there was never a worry when I was away! I will 100% book again. :)”
“Rashel was incredible with my dog and provided timely updates and was quick to response! My dog instantly warmed up to her, which was so wonderful to see! I will definitely use Rashel in the future when I need someone to watch my dog!”
“Veronica was a great dog/house sitter. She took care of our elderly dog who needed daily medicines and multiple walks during the day as well as cooking him special meals and bathing him. She texted and sent photos daily. We returned home to a very happy dog. He actually is still looking for her, which is unusual for him. We highly recommend her.”
About: I own an Australian Cattle Dog...best dog ever! We run, play fetch, walk for hours every day. She's great with other dogs & listens very well to commands. Once she gets to know a dog and feels comfortable, she will treat them as her pack and look out for them. I have a car and can pick up/drop off your dog at an extra cost (see my rates when you book). I am also extremely patient with dogs and believe in positive reinforcement. I don't take dogs with aggression and dogs that are not house trained. With that said, if you choose me as your pet sitter or walker I will do my very best to keep you and your dog happy. I highly recommend a meet and greet to make sure your pup gets along well with mine. Looking forward to hosting your furry pal :) Your Rover sitter, Mihaela
“Jailene was great. Prompt and friendly with her communication. We were happy with our entire experience with her and as long as our needy pups didn't scare her away we will absolutely be having her stay for us again.”
“Beatriz was amazing! Both my pets were taken well care of and were well loved. She sent pics a couple times each day which really was so sweet. She stayed the night and came over multiple times each day we were gone. I felt very comfortable with her and she is willing, I would happily book her again”
“Kaity and Sebastian were great with my cat and dog last week! We had to go out of town at the last minute and they helped us out by staying at our house and watching our babies. They kept in touch, sending lots of pix the whole time. They followed all instructions and left our house clean and tidy :) will be booking again!”
“We are incredibly thankful to have had Justin look after our 120lb Rottie! Justin seamlessly followed our instructions & cared for Wes as his own during his overnight stay. Before coming to dog sit, Justin came over to get well acquainted with Wes which helped make everything go wonderfully! We feel extremely confident leaving Wes in Justin’s care & we’re looking forward to many more future bookings! 🤗🐾”
About: Current dog owner to a 5 year old Siberian Husky. During my college years I also co-owned two dogs and grew up with a house full of dogs & cats. Ability to walk, run, play or hang out with your pet while you’re tied up with busy tasks! Have walked and exercised with dogs over 100 pounds (Great Dane, German Shepherd, Pitbull, Husky) Serving clients in Riverview/Gibsonton, FL AVAILABLE FOR TAMPA/BRANDON requests: additional up charge will be added on for gas & tolls (more than 2 miles away) I work a flexible schedule that is my own business, so I only need a day or two notice, but once I’m familiar with a particular need or schedule, I can adjust very easily! During any walks, the pet will be leashed. Frequent grooming, and care such as fresh water/food is all involved during visits. Able to provide any extra requests and would encourage a meet and greet! Feel free to send a message
“Claudette was outstanding! We couldn’t have had a better experience with her. She communicated regularly throughout the day and took perfect care of our two dogs, sending pics and videos every day. Highly recommend her!”

“Mihaela is a remarkably kind and takes amazing care of all animals, plants and people. Animals really love her. She is one of those rare people who can be highly professional yet also openly human. She has been rescuing cats, dogs, birds. She is super reliable, very respectful, patient and compassionate. And a very intelligent lover of animals. You do not have to worry having her as pet sitter, she will make sure that your animals will get the extra loving care. And she greatly enjoys their company. Mihaela is most fabulous, wonderful, meticulous, detailed, honest, and offers affordable pet sitting services. I can't think of anyone better equipped for the care of your precious pets!”

Bobby W.
