“Angie took care of our dogs as if they were her own. Our incredibly skittish rescue warmed to her almost immediately, which is an absolute first. Have no hesitations about booking Angie.”
About: I have had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels-from high energy pups who need lots of playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. I'm well versed in basic pet first aid and always pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe capable hands. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and i take that responsibility seriously. At home, I have a very full (and very spoiled) house-one dog, two cats, and a guinea pig- so I'm used to managing different routines personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them like one of my own-with plenty of attention, care and extra belly rubs! This is currently my main focus so i have a completely open schedule to accommodate pet parents that may need me at all hours based on their needs I have access to several dog friendly parks and trails near my home as well as a crew cab truck so even the largest dogs can enjoy a ride. I also keep a dog seatbelt and pet friendly steps in the truck in case anyone needs a little extra hand getting in
“Alex was great! Our cats love her. She’s flexible with one of our cat medication administering procedure, and send pictures everyday that she’s drop in to feed our cats. Highly recommended.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, communication, and attention I give every pet. I understand owners are trusting me with a family member, so 1 make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved while also keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins. I'm dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and casual walks instead of long periods alone. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and love creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, cared for, and part of the household. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for pets in my care. In my home, pets will receive lots of attention, affection, supervised outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a very friendly small Chihuahua and a husband who loves animals and helps make pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: Caring, dependable pet sitter available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine closely while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I’ve worked in veterinary offices, which gave me hands-on experience around animals and the ability to stay calm, observant, and attentive to their needs. I love helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I work an early shift, which leaves the rest of my day open for the important things: walks, snacks, snuggles, playtime, and telling your fur baby they are, in fact, perfect. I’ll make sure your best friend gets the attention, care, and companionship they need while keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. Since I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep things feeling safe, familiar, and low-stress. I follow your instructions closely for meals, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, medications, and all the little routine details that matter. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that helps keep your fur baby safe, comfortable, and happy in their own space.
“Alyssa was amazing with my two babies, I sent a last minutes request and she fulfilled all of my request! Would definitely trust her again and again with my babies, and they are big dogs!! Sent multiple pictures of the visit as well ❤️”
About: Aside from owning cats and dogs my whole life I’m a credentialed veterinary technician with 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I currently work in a veterinary hospital and help with boarding, so I’m very comfortable keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines. I use fear-free handling techniques and have lots of patience with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets. I’m also experienced giving medications and caring for pets with special needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in knowledgeable, gentle hands. My goal is to make every visit feel calm, positive, and stress-free for your pet while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic from 8am–6pm, with Tuesdays and Sundays off and alternating half-days on Saturdays. Pet care fits into my routine during my days off, weekends, and evenings, allowing me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship when I’m available. In my home, I have two dogs and three cats who are fully vaccinated, healthy, and well-socialized with both cats and dogs. I can safely introduce visiting pets at their comfort level or keep them fully separated if needed, as I have a dedicated space in my home for separation. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintain a calm and respectful presence, and prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine.

“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”

I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved I’m a college student, so I plan my schedule in a way that lets me give pets the attention they need. Weekends are perfect for overnight stays, since I have more free time and can stay with your pet without rushing. During the week, I have plenty of flexibility between classes, so dog walks and drop-in visits are easy to fit in throughout the day. No matter the day, I make sure each dog gets focused care, fun, and consistent attention. I provide all pet care in your home, where your dog feels most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to your normal routine—feeding times, walk schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific house rules you follow.

During visits, I make sure your dog gets: • Fresh food and water • Safe, enjoyable walks • Playtime and attention • Potty breaks and clean-up • Any special care instructions you provide I’m respectful of your space and always leave your home tidy. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel connected and confident your pet is doing great!
About: I am going to school to study veterinary medicine and I work at an animal hospital and I’ve been around animals and all the different situations they have. When I wake up I feed my dogs and let them out before I leave for work or school and spend time with them outside when I get home. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection.

I also keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pets are well cared for
“First time using Ariadna's services and I recommend 100%! It is always stressful to have a stranger come to your house specially when you are not there. But Ariadna made it super easy and from the get go I knew I could trust her. My Labs loved her. Definitely will use her services again!”
“Kim was absolutely amazing! My dog Abner immediate fell in love with her during the initial meet and greet, so I knew he was going to be in good hands. Kim made special visits to check on him to ensure he was ok, took him on talks, played with him, made sure he was well fed. She would send me pictures throughout her visits and I could easily tell he was in seven heaven with her. I would highly recommend Kim to take care of your doggy, honestly if I could give her more than 5 stars, she is definitely 10 stars!”
About: I provide more than basic pet sitting; I create a calm, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet. I’m experienced with puppies (reinforcing basic training, potty routines, and leash habits) as well as senior pets who need patience, medication support, and gentle care. With a background in leadership and service, I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail so you always feel at ease while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make space for it in my daily routine. I’m able to provide steady morning and evening care, along with attention and updates throughout the day, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of attention and affection, and adjust my approach based on their personality; whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and needing a slower pace. I also provide updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have had both cats and dogs for my entire life. Im determined to treat every animal I care for with the same love as I do my own. I also am a professional bather for animals and can offer baths, nail trims, and the like if requested. I work part time, but am happy to care for pets on my days off or before and after work. I make time every day to walk my own dog before and after work and would give your pet the same level of attention. I am completely flexible and understanding of you and your pets needs. I can bring my own doggie bags and treats for walks if needed, but happy to use yours as well. Willing to accommodate most requests!
About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.
Dover dog parents share their Rover experiences
We booked Ally through the Rover app to watch our little Yorkie, Bleu, for five days while we went on a cruise, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The booking process through Rover was incredibly easy, but I was still nervous about having someone coming in and out of our home while we were away. From the very beginning, Ally made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She answered every single question I had and never made me feel like I was asking too much. In fact, she went above and beyond to assure me that all of my concerns were completely valid. That level of care and understanding meant so much to me. Most importantly, Bleu absolutely loved her! Ally took amazing care of him and went above and beyond not only with him, but also with keeping our home safe while we were gone. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for by someone so attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I will absolutely continue booking with Ally in the future, and I’m so grateful we found someone who cares for Bleu as much as we do. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
