“Naomi is wonderful! She watched my frenchie for a long period of time and I can’t explain how at peace I felt with her watching him. She is punctual and communicates very well! I highly recommend Naomi! Oliver definitely enjoyed his time with her- Thank you, Naomi!”

“Jennifer accepted a last minute request to check on my two dogs and cat while I was unexpectedly in the hospital. She even brought my packages that were sitting on the porch inside for me! Her communication was prompt and she took great care of my babies. Thank you!”

“Wonderful sitter! Shelby helped me in a pinch and it worked out great. I have a “scaredy cat” but Shelby surprisingly lured him out. I left a note and got all my baby’s routines communicated and he made sure to follow them. I will always use Shelby unless he changes because now he’s perfect for my cat.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
“Ryan was so great! I have three dogs. Two pits and a rotty. My rotty is 13 and limps. He is who I worried about the most but Ryan was so patient with him, helped him up and gave him all the pets.”

“Daphne did an amazing job! I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and anyone out there. My pup is very well taken care of when she’s with him!”

“I’ve booked Rachel to watch my cats multiple times and she’s always been great! She leaves updates for every visit and when my cat needed to take oral medication, she was able to administer it without issue. Would highly recommend her to watch your pets!”

About: I am very familiar with handling both sides of the age scale. I had a black lab for 16 (almost 17) years, so I am very well aware of the extra patience and care they deserve. On the other hand, my family welcomed our first golden retriever puppy this past May, so I am prepared for providing extra attention and energy. I am currently a student at The University of Tampa, so I have a very flexible schedule. I do balance being on the club soccer team so weekends can vary, but Monday and Wednesdays after 10 am are most available:) I emphasize the importance of trust and comfort so your dogs can feel loved while you are away. I also want you to feel confident in the care they are receiving.
About: I’ve watched friends and family’s pets from weekends to weeks! I follow instructions easily and care about your pet. From walking to house-sitting. Educated in plant care as well! I’m a college student at University of Tampa! My schedule is flexible and easy to work with! I’m in Tampa for school, and away from my home (Maryland) so I miss playing with my pups back home! I am careful and listen to any instructions or concerns you may have for your pet! I know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pet, and keep that in mind when i’m caring for someone else’s.
“Chloe watched my 2 kitty babies while I was out of town and she was absolutely incredible! They’re usually really shy and hide but they warmed up to her right away. She always fed them on time and took the time to give them extra pets and treats. She’s super communicative and very friendly and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring her again!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I treat them like they’re my own. I’m patient and reliable, and I’m comfortable sticking to daily routines, whether that’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or giving extra gentle care to a senior dog. I just want pets to feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm currently a student so pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m able to plan my day around walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m available most mornings and evenings Monday through Thursday and have a very flexible weekend. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m very mindful during walks, feedings, and playtime to keep everything safe and stress-free, and I treat their home and pet with the same respect I would my own.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking since high school including senior pups, and handling two pups at a time! I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and giving plenty of love and attention. I recently moved to FL from NY and miss being around my pets every day. I would love to meet your furry friends, take them on walks, play fetch, and keep them happy while you’re away. I will also share updates so you know your pet is in good hands 😊 I currently work a hybrid schedule in accounting so I have availability for morning, lunch time and evening drop ins / walks on Thursdays and Fridays. I also have availability all day for weekends. I will make sure to leave your pup just as I found them whether that’s crated, gated in or collar free to make sure they stay safe!
About: Iv never met a animal that hasn’t liked me. they all love me and i love them. Taking care of animals is my self care. I have 2 little terriers at home I’d thrive off dog treats and long days at dog beach , I also go on walks all day everyday. Wouldn’t mind bringing a pal along continue to make sure they’re fed and used the bathroom , especially before bed and first thing in the morning, always showing love as well.
“Matt was great. Awesome communication and really easy to work with. Very caring and immediately bonded with my cat as soon as he met him. Would not hesitate yo have him come back in the future. Thanks Matt!”

“I would highly recommend Kelsey to care for your pets! She is extremely thoughtful in her care and went above and beyond, playing, and making sure my two cats were happy and loved while I was away. She provided photos and always kept us updated, so I had complete peace of mine while I was out of town. She is communicative, and was so caring with our cats!”

“Johnny was recommended to us by friends and was great and easy to work with. Our puppy loved hanging out with him on her drop in. We will definitely be using Johnny again soon.”

“We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)”

“Elizabeth took care of my cat for several days with 30-minute visits when my usual Rover sitter was out of town, and did a great job on short notice. Glad to know she's in my neighborhood and enjoys spending time with my kitty!”

Courier City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sara was amazing. I have never left my cat alone with a sitter so I was extremely nervous. Once I met Sara I immediately knew my baby was in good hands. Sara spent lots of time with her and I had lots of trust that not only my cat but my apartment is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Sara and will be contacting her the next time I need a sitter.

Sophia is amazing with my cat Phoebe! She is quick to respond, send lots of pictures & gives very thorough updates. I feel so confident Pheobe will be loved on while i’m away!! I even needed her to add an extra visit at last minute & she had no issues going above and beyond. She’s the best!!

I appreciate Salina so so much for always taking the best care of my cat when I’m away! She makes me feel so comfortable leaving my little guy and I know he absolutely loved hanging out with her while she’s there. Thank you for doing the most, we appreciate you!!

If you are looking for somebody to let your dog out, she is the best person out there. I have never been more happy until now. She really treats the dog like her own. I would trust her with everything. She’s very on top of making sure I’m aware of any situation along with taking pictures along the way. I will definitely be using her for the rest of the time and for overnights soon. Definitely highly recommend.
