“We had such a great experience with Matt! He was incredibly responsive, organized, flexible, and accommodating which allowed us to feel at ease while he cared for our pup. Would definitely recommend!”

Mia & Carlos

“I cant say enough praises! My Bailey was so well taken care of when I had to go out of town for work over the weekend. Will definitely be trusting my girl with Elena for any future trips!”

Bethany S.

“Haley was an amazing sitter. She responds timely and gives updates ! My dog was well taken care of with her & I definitely would book again !”

Ilona D.

“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”

“WOW! I cannot stress enough how happy we are that we found Cece. She was so sweet and kind and super communicative during Cash’s stay. Her two pups got along great with Cash, and he clearly had a blast during his stay with her. She was also very through when we arrived since it was his first stay with her and showed me the beautiful back yard Cash would have to play in during his stay and made sure he was secure and I was comfortable with him being in her home. It was such a great experience, I seriously cannot recommend Cece enough. Cash even came home with a personalized stocking, which he loved! You can tell she truly loves taking care of her clients pups!!”

“Samuel was awesome! Theo had a wonderful stay in a lovely neighborhood! Samuel was extremely responsive, sent updates and pictures, and was flexible for our drop off and pick up times. We couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies! Very thankful to find such an excellent and professional home to host our furriest family member.”

Abigail L.

“I was very lucky to find Sofia to watch my puppy Ruby. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Ruby was being taken care of quite well and that they had a lot of fun together. Normally when Ruby is with someone else in a strange environment, she doesn't eat normally, but judging by what was left over, she pretty much ate normally. I will definately ask Sofia to watch Ruby the next time I go on vacation and need a dog sitter.”

“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”

Victoria H.

“Peaches loves staying with Aisha. She takes such good care of my baby. Tail is always wagging and tongue hanging out when I go pick her up! Aisha is caring and I trust her very much with my dog! Thank you!!”

Patricia C.

“Maxine was great with Owen. She would send picture updates and even has an app that allows you to check in on your pup via camera. Extremely convenient, flexible, and responsible. Highly recommend!”

Brandon P.

“Our dog Maui is very picky but he instantly became best friends with Nicole! I almost felt bad picking him up because he had so much fun during his weekend stay! The updates were amazing and she truly cares about your fur baby. 10/10 would recommend Nicole for your fur baby any day.”

Jamison J.

“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”

Dwight K.

“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”

Kali J.

“Eileen was amazing! Her apartment is perfect for a furry visitor. She was flexible with schedule and able to accommodate our time changes. I loved her little kitty, Pumpkin, and knew my pup was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”

Amber P.

“Hermun was great with Rocky and Rocky really enjoyed his stay. Sent me some great pics to show how he was doing. Would definitely bring Rocky back to her.”

Garret W.

“This was my first time using Rover, and Catherine far exceeded my expectations! She agreed to a meet and greet with my pup and me before boarding started, and I could immediately feel her warmth (and my pup felt comfortable too). Catherine kept me updated, sending me pictures daily. She was so kind and took such good care of my girl. I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”

Gina A.

“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”

Danielle R.

“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, especially French Bulldogs, and have experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even horses. I also volunteered at a dog rescue in Chicago for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous, need patience, or simply take a little extra time to warm up. I currently have a very friendly French Bulldog of my own, so I’m especially familiar with dogs who need a little extra attention or have health considerations. He recently had spinal surgery, which has given me firsthand experience with giving medication, following restrictions, keeping up with special care instructions, and being extra attentive to a dog’s comfort and mobility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog wants three long walks a day and nonstop playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love having animals around and treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible and allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches while I’m at work. I’m able to take multiple walks throughout the day, accommodate different potty schedules, give medications or additional care when needed, and adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!

“This was my first time using Patrick and Alexander services, and I couldn't have been happier! They were fantastic with communication, keeping me updated and at ease throughout my trip. Ohana seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her, and it's clear Patrick and Alex provided excellent care. I will definitely be using them services again in the future! Thank You Guys!!”
