“Cece took THE BEST care of our girls; we got “part of the family” treatment!!! She sent photos daily and was so gracious to work with us on pickup when our flight was delayed. I can’t wait to leave the girls with her again later this summer!!!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Maxine, the incredible pet sitter at your facility, for taking such amazing care of my fur baby, Charlie. Maxine went above and beyond, providing exceptional care and great updates throughout Charlie’s stay. I highly recommend Maxine to any pet owner seeking top-notch care. Thank you, Maxine, for your love and dedication!”
“Elena and her family went above and beyond caring for my girl. She was in the best hands while we were out of town, we will definitely use Elena again!”
“Our fur babies loved their stay and care at Lacey’s home. She’s awesome and highly recommend her. Her kids are great. Her property is very clean and homey. Definitely looking forward in future stays. Thank You!”
“Wish I could give more stars! Eric responded super quickly and was available for last minute boarding. Both my lab and mini dachshund loved spending time at his place and playing in the huge yard! I got pictures and updates daily. He was super helpful and was able to extend my trip and keep my pups longer when something came up! Will definitely be using him again”
“Perfect! Very communicative, send updates and pictures everyday and perfect location, our dog had separation anxiety at the beginning but she managed to calm her down. Highly recommend”
“Nicole was a wonderful host and sitter for my 1-yr old cat. She was also very accommodating when I had a travel delay on my return home. Above all, I really appreciate that she was patient with Bella, who can be a little shy and timid at times. She was even able to get her to snuggle on the couch! I would definitely hire Nicole for future pet sitting :)”
“I loved the fact that she provided detailed updates every few hours with pictures! She is probably one of the best sitters and I've had. Milo loved being pampered and had a wonderful time. I would definitely book again!”
“Eileen was so patient and kind. My little guy had just experienced a stressful trip and found himself in Eileen’s care because Mom was going away again but this time without him. He was not his typical self and he was anxious. Eileen handled him so well and I am grateful for her excellent care.”
“We had a last minute issue with boarding Zoey for the holiday. A friend at work mentioned looking into Rover.com and I am so glad that I did. Hermun responded that she had room and that Zoey could come that evening. The first photo Hermun sent to us, I swear Zoey was smiling in her backyard! Zoey lost her best friend, Hogan a St. Bernard, early last year so she can be slightly territorial initially. Hermun was able to ease her initial anxiety and give her a lovely warm home to spend the weekend in with some cuddly buddies. She was in contact with us all weekend, letting us know how Zoeay was doing as well as with some friends she had made. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Chante was wonderful with our dog, Summer! She did a meet and greet with us beforehand, which made us feel completely comfortable. During Summer’s stay, Chante sent us daily pictures and updates. Summer was well cared for and happy doggo. She had a great time with Chante and her dog. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Rose was an excellent sitter for Sophie! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of picture updates. Upon picking Sophie up, we could tell that she had made a connection with Rose. Would absolutely have Sophie stay with her again!”
“Tim just watched my special-needs dog Roxy and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tim was caring, communicative, and very engaged. Roxy needs help to walk so his extra attention and care was important. He hit a home run for sure! He sent many pictures and text updates. And he was very flexible when our pick-up schedule had to extend shortly. I would highly recommend him and will hope to board with him again in the future.”
“Whitney and Alex were awesome with my sweet Gluhwein!! . Glue had so much fun and made two new best friends Hank and Gino! Unfortunately, my dog got a rash the day before I had to drop him off, but Whitney and Alex were so great with giving him medication and sending me updates on how the rash was healing.. They also sent update pictures throughout the day on what they were doing which definitely helped put my mind at ease while being away!! My puppy had the greatest time and I will definitely be reaching back out to see if they will take him again in the future!!! Thank y’all so much!!”
About: Hey, I’m Gabby! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Tampa with a private fenced park - plenty of space for walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m around all day to hang out with your pup, give them attention, and keep them company. I recently lost my soul dog, Romeo, and I understand how much your dog means to you. To me, pets are family, and I treat them like my own. Your pup’s safety is my #1 priority, and I’ll provide them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I also help out with a local dog rescue in Tampa, so I’m experienced with all types of dogs (puppies to seniors, big to small, low energy to high energy) and can handle meds if needed. I just want your dog to feel at home, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. I remember when I needed pet sitters in the past I was so nervous and would do all my research to make sure my sitter was safe and experienced. I can ensure you that with me, your pups will be well taken care of, loved, and safe! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock pet care 24/7. Let me know what your pets schedule is like and I will maintain it. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority. All safety measures are taken to provide a safe experience for everyone. This includes complete supervision, proper fitting gear, safe walking routes and other measures to ensure the well being of all.
“Lexi was really great. She was really cooperative with the timings and accommodating. She was very consistent with sending pictures and Willow was also very happy when she got back. She also took Willow on long walks and frequent walks.”

Would definitely recommend her for caring for your pups 🐶”

Kalyn was wondering with my two small, older dogs. We used her a bunch of times a few years ago before she relocated. She messaged us a few months back that she had moved back into town and our since dog sitter was unavailable and Kalyn stepped in wonderfully. We will definitely be contacting her again!
We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

We are beyond happy we found Patti because Nikita was treated with all the love and care! Patti always communicated with us and sent us updates throughout the day with lots of photos. She followed Nikita’s regular routine and was very kind to get Nikita’s favorite goat milk for the morning. We could tell Nikita was very happy and comfortable staying with Patti and she got along so well with sweet Rosie! They are now best buds. We really appreciate Patti, and we look forward to Nikita’s future stays.
Virginia was a WONDERFUL sitter—if I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, but won’t be my last! I expressed my anxieties of being away from Bij on a work trip, and she eased them all. I got regular and often updates—she truly treated and loved Bij as if he were her own. And her fur baby is just as precious—Cozy and Bijou became best friends! From letting him sleep in a bigger bed, to sharing all Cozy’s toys, to regular walks and playing all the fetch he could handle—Bijou was on a vacation! Virginia is kind and communicative, and I will happily be booking with her again! ❤️
