About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life, so caring for animals isn’t something I’m just trying out—it’s something that has been part of my life for decades. I’ve cared for pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. One experience that especially shaped how I care for animals was adopting a geriatric dog whose owners had passed away. Taking on an older dog taught me that sometimes the best pet care is simply being patient, paying attention to the little things, and making an animal feel safe and comfortable. What I bring to pet sitting is that same mindset. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—not like they're being "watched" by a stranger. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your dog wants to play all day, your cat prefers to observe from across the room, or your senior pet needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to work around their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and downtime. When house sitting, I’m able to make your pet a priority while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I understand that every pet is different—some need lots of activity and attention, while others are happiest with a quiet, comfortable presence nearby. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets and home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine, and I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs before their owner leaves. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, particularly with senior pets who may require a little extra observation. When house sitting, I keep the home secure, clean up after the pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable, safe, and confident while they’re away.
“Alex is absolutely great. On time, friendly, reliable, and wonderful with my dog Captain. Respectful of your time and your home and loving towards my dog. I cannot recommend Alex enough to walk your dog or anything to do with your pet. He's perfect and I would trust him with Captain and my home anytime and hope he's always available when I need him again. Highly recommend. Gloria”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
About: I love dogs and think each one is unique and special! I have years of experience pet sitting and also used to foster other Basset hounds. We currently have two Basset hounds of our own. Pet care is a daily thing in our house. I have extra a availability right now to meet some new dog friends and go for walks. I love on all dogs and will respect them and their home! They’re also welcome in my home and will have lots of toys, treats, and walks!
About: I was recommended by friends, family and many colleagues who I have dog/cat sat for to give this a go. Hence the low prices so please don't be alarmed. I have owned/cared for several rabbits, cats, reptiles, fish & have also been the dog uncle/caretaker for many types of dogs, especially labradoodles(for some reason, all my friends get that breed). Administering meds (through injection and popping it in their mouth so they eat it) is something I was able to gain experience in early on. Walking our fur friends in a harmonious fashion is another thing I got good at early on as well. Attention to detail & passion for the uniqueness of our fur companions at hand is essential especially if they have special needs. You can rest assured you will come home to happy, healthy fur and scale babies, a spotless home in addition to healthy plants if you have any. Looking forward to making new friends! I currently work as an interpreter from home, so I am quite flexible with times and dates. I sometimes rent cars but if not, I can easily get to your home by Uber/Lyft or public transport. Again, attention to detail and acknowledging that each pet has their own quirks and personality is key. Please be thorough with what you require in terms of precautions, care and responsibilities. It will assist in the process of making sure your pet gets the quality care they need.
“Tina has been great with our nervous pittie :) she has great communication and always leave a detailed report card after the walks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Keiana was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs, Apollo and Lucky, while I was away. She was kind, reliable, and attentive, which gave me peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands. I truly appreciate her care and dedication. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again. Thank you so much, Keiana!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carrollwood
Yogi and I absolutely love Aj! I was looking for a new dog walker super last minute and he was able to pivot with me and accommodate my needs. I love that he is available later at night considering I work night shift. I never worry when I’m at work knowing Aj will keep me updated if anything seems amiss. I also love that he tries to take him on different routes some nights for walks and it isn’t always the same exact thing. I have been so thankful when I needed him last minute due to being sick or not feeling well and have reached out to see if he was available. Super reliable, answers back fast, and doesn’t mind our seemingly silly routines.

Working with Jennifer has been such a great experience! She is reliable, communicative, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting plenty of attention and exercise. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carrollwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carrollwood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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.

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
