About: I’m new to Rover, but have been in the petsitting and housesitting business for years now. All of my clients have been word of mouth, and I have a goal to expand my clientele and services. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From tiny lap dogs who think they own the house to giant breeds who actually do. Whether your pet is a couch potato, zoomie champion, professional squirrel watcher, or secretly plotting world domination, I’m here for it. I have experience with animals big and small and know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, dependable, and always ready for belly rubs, playtime, long walks, or just keeping your furry friend company while you’re away. Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and care, plus updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Warning: your pet may come back spoiled with affection and expecting celebrity-level treatment. I currently have an fairly open availability and a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and even last-minute pet care needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk and playtime, your cat needs a quick check-in and treats, or your pet simply wants someone to exist nearby while they silently judge them, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and very specific demands, so I do my best to stay flexible and work around what keeps them happiest, safest, and most comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or convinced they are the ruler of the household, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at their own pace. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, behavioral changes, and making sure your home stays secure and tidy during visits. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and quirks. My goal is always to create a calm, low-stress environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you’re away.

Taylor was awesome with my dog. I am gone for 12+ hours due to my job and Taylor is the first dog walker I have used where I come home to my dog not being overly energetic. He clearly gets a lot of play time with her!! She is very responsive, professional, and sends the cutest pictures! :)

About: I’m a reliable, experienced dog sitter who genuinely loves animals. I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for over 15 years, and my 13+ years as a nanny have made me patient, attentive, and highly dependable. I’m available for drop-in visits to let your pets out, walks, and house sitting, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet you and your puppies’ needs whenever you may need help. My availability is mainly Monday through Friday, but I can be flexible depending on your schedule and your pets’ routines or any specific care needs. When I house sit, I focus on keeping your pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I also keep your home clean, secure, and well looked after, bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything is just as you left it. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.

I have also dog sat numerous friends’ and neighbors’ dogs both as overnights and drop ins. Currently I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and social, they would be very happy to have a new friend to play with! I work 15 minutes from home Monday-Thursday.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 2 years. I have cared for senior dogs and senior cats, as well as puppies. having to do daily walkings and daily medications, along with walking the senior dogs outside to make sure they were able to use the restroom and come back into the house with no troubles. Other tasks I have done are walking, sleeping over at the house for long periods of time, and keeping up with their feeding schedule. Every morning consisted of following the feeding schedule, along with medications and exercise! I want to be able to provide this service for your animal, so you can know and feel that your baby is being taken care of in a responsible and fun manner. I will be providing the services of walking, drop-ins and doggy day cares! As I am a college student working a full time job, these services allow me to drop in on your furr baby to make sure they’re get some play time/walks and feedings! If I were to open boarding or house sitting In my clients home, and in my own home, I will always make sure they know their furr baby and being respectful of the house is my top priority. Being able to care for pets at my apartment is my ideal scenario, I can assure you he/she will feel nothing but love and care being under my surveillance. In my home, animals are allowed on furniture and walks will be taken out at the dog park in my apartment complex. I also enjoy walking bayshore, so this would be a place I would take your dog as well to get out of the house and get fresh air!

About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.

This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.

About: Hi! I’m Ahmed and I’m a proud dog dad to a miniature Goldendoodle named Aries. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they’re treated like family. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my schedule around walks, playtime, feeding routines, and regular potty breaks. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, crate training, and house rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own and always leave it clean and secure.

Valerie cared for our pets Ruby, Zeus,Zoya and Sunny- a dog and 3 cats. We also have an aquarium. She also fed our fish. Our senior dog Ruby had several indoor poop and pee accidents indoor in between visits much more than usual. Valerie cleaned up each time she came for drop-in visits. Ruby is usually very anxious when we return from trips but this time she didn’t seem anxious at all. Will recommend Valerie.
