“Sherri exceeded my expectations and made me feel so comfortable that my cats were cared for during my couple weeks away from home. I never worried and had consistent updates with photos. She also brought toys for them which they LOVED and even watered my plant. I am so happy I trusted Sherri with my cats and will absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“Trevor was so fantastic! He came everyday to check on my cats and they all loved him so much! He was very thorough and made sure they got some extra love while we were gone. Will definitely book again”
“Nicole did a great job of communicating throughout the process. She was great with my dog, left a great report, was very accommodating and my dog enjoyed the visit. Definitely recommend”
“Nakisha was amazing with my baby and so understanding! There was a mishap with my house key and she was beyond understanding and accommodating! I cannot thank her enough for her kindness! I’ll be booking with her from now on she’s absolutely wonderful :)”
“Amanda is a gem! She cared for my two cats while I was away for ten days and she was incredible. She sent multiple photos of both cats and sweet, playful videos. Amanda was flexible both times my plans changed while I was away (I can’t say thank you enough). I hope to book her in the future. I’m so grateful to have met her!”
“Whitney was so loving and attentive with my two cats!! She was quick to notice when my cat was eating less food than normal and we adjusted accordingly to make sure he was okay while I was out of town. She sent the sweetest updates (including potty habits) and always shared tons of photos!”
“Emma was amazing while we were away while she looked after our cat. Got lots of updates and pics of our boy and the house was perfectly looked after. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Monika is fantastic! I was a bit nervous about having someone new look after our cats, but her positive energy and warmth immediately put us at ease. She went above and beyond to take such great care of them and sent lots of pictures, so we knew they were happy and well taken care of. I’m so glad we found her – Monika will definitely be our go-to cat sitter in the future! Highly recommend!”

My last dog Gigi lived to 17 yrs. and had some Med. issues at the of life, so equiped to deal w/senior dogs as well.precious I am now retired so I have plenty of free time. Ruby has standing dates every Saturday @Dog Park, plus we go on walks and have play-time with her many toys.Your dogs will be welcome to join in as much, or as little as they like.

“Stacy was just great to work with. She was able to be there for my cat squeakz when I had to leave and make sure she got her pills everyday. Stacy provided awesome updates and I felt great leaving squeakz in her hands”
About: I'm a devoted pet lover and proud companion to two joyful dogs, 1 cat, I understand how deeply our animals shape our lives. I don’t just watch pets. I welcome them into a space filled with warmth, routine, and affection. I treat each animal with the same love and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, seen, and truly at home. At home, pets join my two friendly dogs in a calm, loving space with lots of play and snuggles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and care for them like they’re my own—gentle, present, and always kind. 🐾 At my place, pets hang out with my two sweet dogs in a cozy, calm space full of love. At your place, I stick to their routine and give them the same gentle care I’d want for mine.
“Cheryl was an angel! We had to leave town unexpectedly under stressful circumstances. She took the time to come meet us and our cats before we left. Her awesome communication and wonderful pictures eased our anxiety while we were gone. We would absolutely 100% book with Cheryl again.”
“Christina did a fabulous job taking care of our cats! We appreciated all the pictures she sent. She truly went above and beyond. 10/10 recommend!!! Will definitely use her again!”
“Amy is wonderful! We have older animals with health issues so I’m always nervous to travel. But having her at my house made me feel confident and secure that they were well cared for while we were so far away. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals. Rather it’s mine or others. I’ve grew up with pets. I have a cat and a dog. They are my life. I can be just walking down the street or hanging downtown and everytime I see a dog I have the biggest smile on my face and I have to ask if I can say hi to them with my little doggy voice. (I know everyone has one.) With being a fitness coach for humans, we tend to not realize how important it is for our fur babies to get their exercise in too! And that’s what I’m here for. Not only will I be walking them, I’ll also get to know them, love them, and be one of their best friends so they feel comfortable and safe. I am currently full time at a gym, but my schedule can be more flexible in the afternoon/evenings. I’m also available on the weekends. I’m looking forward to working with you and your fur babies. I can’t wait to meet them and give them all the care they need and deserve! I am currently working a full time Monday-Friday. I am free anytime after noon. Weekends will vary but I can be very flexible with that Just like their humans, dogs need walks, runs, and to play fetch. I have a passion for health and exercise and I hope I can spread that love with your little fur baby and help them become the healthiest they can be. (Cuddles are included)
About: I love animals! I have had animals in my home my entire life. (Dogs, Multiple Cats, bunnies). I take care of friends animals consistently as well. My daily schedule consists of taking my daughter to school and coming home to clean and work. I have plenty of time to tend to more fur babies! I have a large fenced in backyard. I love taking walks as well! Regardless of whether it’s at your home or mine, I can adapt to whatever preference you have for your animal.
East Tampa cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sherri is so great! She gave us total piece of mind while we were on our trip. She provided us multiple photos each visit and took great care of our babies. She even let our cats have one of the toys she would bring because they loved it so much :’) would definitely use her services again!
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pet. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
