“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”
About: I am a dedicated dog sitter committed to providing love, care, companion and tail-wagging adventures for your furry friend in your absence or when needed. I am currently working part time from home, so I have the time to sit and keep your puppy company and provide good care. .. In-Home Pet Sitting: I Create a comfortable and safe environment for the pet. I stick to the pet's regular feeding and walking schedule. I engage in playtime and provide companionship and administer any required medications as well as keeping the living space clean and tidy. Client's Home Pet Sitting: I familiarize myself with the pet's routine and preferences. I try to follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding and exercise. I ensure the security of the client's home. I communicate regularly with the pet owner and provide updates. And I try to be attentive to any specific needs or health concerns.
“Virginia was wonderful! She did an amazing job sending videos and pictures throughout the day, which made me feel so reassured. My puppy absolutely loved playing with her pup, and he matched her energy so well. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, engaged, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Virginia!”
“Matt was soooo personable and so nice! He was so responsive and sent us pics ! He was great. We are here for 6 months and will definitely use him again! Thanks for taking care of him. We are always so nervous because of doggy is so anxious but Matt was great! Our boy is happy and in one piece! Thank you Matt!!”
“Pamela is the best Rover sitter I’ve ever used! We have used her for many repeat visits and she always sends me frequent updates, has a very thorough Rover card at the end of each visit, and always takes the best care of my dog. Their space is definitely my dog’s favorite place to go (:”
“Sam was an awesome host for our girl Gypsy! He had other dogs for her to run around and play with, toys and spoiled her with some treats! He was sending us pictures throughout the day as well! Will definitely use Sam again when we are in Tampa! Thanks so much!”
“Madisyn and her boyfriend welcomed Libby. When I picked up Libby, it looks like she was having a good time with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend and bring my dogs back.”
“Angelina was available for a last minute booking and kept me informed all day about how my puppy was doing. Joey must’ve been really relaxed at her place because he slept (and he’s usually always crazy pup energy)”
“Evgenia was a great sitter! She played with my puppy outside a lot and took him on a couple of walks. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures!”
About: I’m a business owner who lost my dog June 22, 2025 after 17 years. Not ready to own another dog quite yet so thought this would be a great way to still be around dogs. I work from home and have a small fenced in area. I’m able to be with your dog essentially the entire day and hang out! Small fenced in area, plenty of toys, doggy steps, ability to go on the couch or bed and a crate but prefer to not keep dogs inside a crate unless owner requests for whatever reason.
“Crystal was amazing with my puppy! She spent two full workdays with Scout while I had to be in the office, and since Scout is only 12 weeks old and full of energy, that’s no small task. Crystal handled everything so well and made me feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I have always grown up with many pets including dauchsands, pitbulls, English bulldogs, parakeets, and even turtles. I do not have any pets currently, my last pet loss was very hard to get over. I am great with almost all. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats! I am new to Downtown Tampa! I work remote & in office, my office is 5 min walk from my apt.! I will water if anything needs to be watered or packages/mail brought in during stays! I work from home every Thursday & Friday and available to be home full time Thursday-Sunday! I work 5 minutes from my home, so i can walk/potty break 3 times a day Monday-Wednesday. I will give your pets all my love and attention! I enjoy being active so walks and/or hikes are a plus! I love all animals & have experience with tortoises, parakeets, and dogs. I am allergic to cats unfortunately. I am very cautious and live in an apartment that has a doggy area. I am extra cautious with all pets I sit and care for. I love all animals and genuinely enjoy being around them.
About: With 35 plus year of experience as a pet owner, starting as a teen with my 2 cats and later on a beautiful soulful Samoyed, Toby, from age 4 months to 14 years old, a spunky Poodle, Lolita, from age 2 to 12 years, and a top hat Terrier Mix, Ryder, from age 2 to 14 years. I have also fostered dogs for the past 4 years, and as a result, I am failed foster mom of a sweet Yorkie Poodle, Roxy, age 2 adopted in the Fall 2024. As mentioned, I am experienced with puppies and older dogs. Your fur baby will have plenty of walks every 4 hours and tentatively cared for throughout the day and will also receive tons of love from our 12-year-old twins whenever they come home from extracurricular activities. My spouse and I work full-time from home, so there is someone home at all times and available during the week. Our weekends are also flexible with some advance notice for drop-off and pick-up. Your dog will always have company, 3-4 dog walks, a back yard with shade areas, and plenty of sunshine and playtime. Lots of room to roam around. We will make sure your dog is loved and attended.
“Elena and her parents take amazing care of our puppy, Millie. They are so patient with her puppy behaviors and give her lots of exercise to work off her boundless energy. Communication is outstanding-I always know how Millie’s time with Elena went. I have utilized Rover for many years with previous dogs and can definitely say that Happy Tails is one of the absolute best!”
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!
“Samuel took great care of our Koda. Truly appreciate the care and updates on our precious Koda. Definitely feel comfortable trusting Samuel with our Koda’s care.”
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was amazing with my puppy Waylon! I had a last minute concert after just moving to Tampa and was so relieved to find someone I could trust. She kept me updated the entire time with photos and videos which gave me so much peace of mind. Waylon had the best time playing with Rory and came home happy and tired which made my next work day so much easier. I will definitely be booking with Stephanie again!
Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Toby 🐶🦴. From the start, she was super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Toby can sometimes be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure Toby got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. When I came back, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’d absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Toby and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Raquel is beyond amazing. I’m hesitant to leave a review because she is so incredible, we don’t want her to get too busy for us. Just kidding. She has become a part of our family and daily life over the last few years - with our last angel dog, Hank, to our spirited puppy. We joke we co- parent with her and couldn’t have a dog without her. We are so grateful for her love, care and support of our dogs that I thanked her in my masters graduation speech because it truly takes a village. We couldn’t speak more highly of her and we think Carl sometimes comes home bummed he can’t stay with his other mom and all his friends. She is truly meant to work with animals and it shows. Thank you.
Alise was wonderful! She is incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept us updated throughout with photos and videos, which we truly appreciated and made us feel at ease. We’ll definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!
Madisyn truly went above and beyond. My puppy had a hurt paw at the time, and she took such great care to keep it clean and make sure she was safe and comfortable. She was very attentive and sent great updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again.
Crystal was amazing with my puppy! She spent two full workdays with Scout while I had to be in the office, and since Scout is only 12 weeks old and full of energy, that’s no small task. Crystal handled everything so well and made me feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Kerry is the best! She updated me several times throughout Scooby’s daycare stay with pictures. He had an amazing time with his friend Tony too. Scooby did not even want to play tug of war when we got home which told me all I needed to know about his day. I will be requesting Kerry again for sure.
Gabby was absolutely amazing with my dog, Winnie. She has a kind, out-going personality that put us both at ease from the beginning. Winnie did not miss me at all. Gabby is very active and took Winnie for a long walk and out for treats. Winnie came home happy and tired.
