“Did a great job taking care of our cat including litter box cleaning, filling our automatic wet food feeder, giving him his treats, playing with him and brushing him. Dropoff and pickup of the key was super seamless. Very happy!”
About: As a YouTube writer for Chewy, I spent years immersed in the pet world—learning from veterinarians, trainers, behaviorists, and the animals themselves. That experience taught me how to notice the little things: body language, emotional signals, changes in behavior, and the unique routines that help each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs, puppies, senior pets, cats, and dog-reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medication. Most importantly, I know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, quirks, routines, and preferences so they feel cared for and you feel 100% assured they’re being loved on while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. I have a regular walking routine with my own dog, plus fully fenced front and backyards for safe outdoor time. I’m also available to make drop-in visits to homes in my area, while keeping pets’ routines, exercise needs, and individual personalities in mind. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced front and backyard, daily walks, and a calm routine alongside my own dog. I’ll follow your pet’s schedule, preferences, and comfort level so they feel at home. For care in your home, my TrustedHousesitters experience has taught me to be respectful, tidy, communicative, and mindful of your space. I’ll care for your pets and home as thoughtfully as I would my own.
“Alina is reliable and she is great with Pablo. She treats him like family and cares for him exceptionally. She communicates promptly and openly. She’s a trusted sitter and someone I know I can count on to care for my baby.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ¡Excelente experiencia! Iliana Cuidó de Moisés y Fernanda con muchísimo amor, cariño y dedicación. Se nota que realmente ama a los animales y eso me dio mucha tranquilidad mientras estuvieron bajo su cuidado. Mis perritos estuvieron felices, bien atendidos y recibieron todo el cariño que necesitaban. 🐶❤️ Definitivamente volvería a confiar en ella para cuidarlos. ¡La recomiendo 100%! 🥰🐾”
“Tina was great with our pit who is a little hyper and sometimes reactive. She has a calm presence and took notes of everything we mentioned during our meet and greet. Every dog has different wants and needs and she made sure to cater to our pup. I highly recommend her and will be using her again during our next trip out of town.”
“Danni is awesome! Both my pups are so well taken care of with her. I feel comfortable leaving them in her care because she is diligent, consistent, has great communication and the pups love her! Thank you for all you do, Danni!”
“Sophia is so wonderful! She is professional, kind, and was very attentive with my puppy. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover. 5 stars!! Hanna did a fantastic job watching our furry son, Oliver. She went above and beyond with her service. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Hanna. Oliver loves her too!! Thank you so much Hanna. We really appreciate you.”
“Bekah was a star sitter!! The best we've had so far. You could tell she really cared for Diesel and spent her time playing with him and giving him so much love during her visit. She followed everything I had asked her to do & more. She cleaned up after Diesel and made sure he had everything he needed. She locked up afterwards and made sure Diesel was set before leaving. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Hoping to hire her again!”
“Kory did a great job watching my cat Mojo, he spent time with him and gave me updates everyday :) Highly recommend Kory to take care of your pet”
About: I've had fur babies for 14+ years now. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me with their love ones for periods of time and we have had an amazing connection and experience! I actually work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to watch the furbabies closely everyday and help taking multiple breaks during the day. Also, very flexible on making visits during the day. I have big fenced yard where babies can run and enjoy time outside. Love walking, so if visiting your babies at your place, I'd more than happy to provide whatever amount of walking they need to reset. Happy to give them company and share trust with you that your babies and home will be safe once I leave.
“Jordan is awesome. My dog Lexi has separation anxiety and had a rough time the first day I was gone. Jordan was flexible and understanding allowing for some adjustments that helped Lexi relax and be less anxious and the remaining went smoothly. So grateful for Jordan. She is patient, caring understanding and so much more. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Lexi was in great hands with Jordan.”
“Britni was AMAZING!! It was my first time using a pet sitter and she sent so many pictures and detailed messages about how he was doing and went above and beyond!! Highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Amanda was amazing! She gave our dog such good care and sent us plenty of photos and updates on everything they did. She went above and beyond taking our dog for walks and letting her get lots of sniffs out and about!”
“Joycemar is soooo wonderful with our pups. After a previous sitter abandoned our Giant breed puppies, Rover got in touch with Joycemar- she promptly accepted the booking. She is godsend, she plays and bonds with the puppies, left our house super clean after every visit. She even brought some help to clean up between visits so she can bond with our puppy babies. She has now gained our trust and admiration for life. I wouldn’t think twice about rebooking her if we go on another trip. Thank you for everything Joycemar!”
“Beth is simply the best. She always takes the best care of our Emma and when my mom is visiting, her dog too. We feel extremely lucky to have Beth take care of our girl.”
About: I have been a pet parent for many years and understand that every pet is unique. I currently share my home with two Huskies and four cats ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old, giving me experience caring for pets at every stage of life. One of my greatest joys has been caring for senior pets and learning their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also have experience with energetic dogs, independent cats, and the many different personalities that make our pets so special. I treat every animal as an individual and will provide the same loving, dependable care that I would want for my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. I am able to offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting while making sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and taking the time to provide more than just the basics—making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I will treat both your pets and your home with respect. During visits, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routines, provide meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box care, and any needed medications. I will pay attention to your pet’s behavior and communicate with you through updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give my own.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in East Tampa is $20

Emrick goes above and beyond!! I've been using her pet sitting services for over a year and she's always reliable and communicative. I appreciate how much help she's been for both quick responses as well as long trips. Will always book with her when she's available :)
Alina was incredibly attentive, responsible, and communicative. She kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Alina made the entire experience feel effortless. My dog was clearly comfortable and happy with her, and that says everything.
Isabel is the best! My kitties adore her and this is actually the first time ever I came home from a trip with no kitty bathroom on the floor!!!! She’s my kitty sitting angel I swear! Honestly my boys don’t even care that we’re home, they got so much love from Izzie. I’m so happy to see them not anxious about us being gone for a trip.
katie is the absolute best. she goes above and beyond every time. my cats kicked up a bunch of litter and she vacuumed it all up then even cleaned out my vacuum - she’s an absolute sweetheart and i’m so grateful to have someone like that to watch my babies when i’m out of town!
Jason watched our two cats — one elderly and independent, and one young, shy, and anxious — during our two‑week international trip, and he was amazing. He came twice a day, handled meals, litter boxes, and even supervised their outdoor patio time. He never missed a visit or check-in. He also spent extra time on the visits if he could, and helped us with mail/packages that arrived while we were gone. Really above and beyond. He sent photos and detailed notes every visit, which made us feel totally at ease while we were away. The best part was how he bonded with our extra‑shy cat. She usually hides from everyone, but Jason spent extra time with her each visit, letting her warm up at her own pace. After a few days, they were basically best buddies — she wasn’t hiding anymore and actually came out to greet him. It made us so happy that our babies were happy! We’d book Jason again in a heartbeat.
Natalie is a responsible and enthusiastic pet sitter! I trust her not only to take care of my kitty’s basic needs but I also know she goes above and beyond to keep him entertained and know that he is loved even when mama is away!! She has a job with me if I am going out of town!
We love Shelby so much! From the pictures he takes of our cats to the messages he leaves about them on the report card, he always makes sure that we know our cats are being well taken care of (: Shelby always makes sure that the apartment is clean as well!! Thank you so much as always!
Andrea is very patient and accommodating and she took such a great care of my cat when I am away for a whole week! I got home and was welcomed by a very healthy and clingy cat (as expected) and everything was perfect! I will definitely book Andrea again (if she were available) in the future!
Sophia was amazing with helping us take care of our cat for a week. She left detailed reports on her rover card, took plenty of very cute photos, and made sure to follow our instructions precisely each visit. Really helped us be less stressed while we were out of town, and would 100% ask for her services again!
Tina is amazing! She is so great with our three kitties, and we have been so grateful knowing they are in good hands when we travel. We even had a kitty that needed some meds, and she was so great with making sure he took them and stayed on track. Can’t recommend her enough!
