“Sherri was great with my 3 kitties. She went consistently at same time every day, sent daily communication, played with them and sent lots of great photos. I will definitely request Sherri when I need a future cat sitter.”
“Nikki is fantastic! We’re so grateful for her flexibility and the love she shows our pups. She’s always prompt, responsive, and sends wonderful pictures. You can truly see her passion for dogs, which is the most important thing to us. We highly recommend her—she gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands!”
“Trevor did an excellent job of caring for my two shy 11 year old cats. The daily photos and comments were very reassuring. Trevor's demeanor and experience were evident at our meet and greet prior to the drop in visits. Much nicer for the cats than a boarding kennel. I was quite pleased with Trevor and Rover. I recommend both and will use them again.”
“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”
“Amanda was amazing! She was very prompt and communicative. She took very good care of my babies while we were gone as if they were her own, being very in tune to the medicine needs of one of them. I would fully trust Amanda to watch them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Amanda!”
“Yvonne was wonderful with our dogs. It was our first time leaving them, and with her updates and reassurance it was very comfortable for us. I will definitely be reaching out again if we ever decide to go out of town!”
“Whitney is the definition of kind and dependable. She made three overall visits to our kitty. She was on time, sent pictures, and gave us an update each visit. I would highly recommend her and will most definitely use her in the future.”
“Nakisha took very good care of my cats. She communicated with me numerous times. She also sent pictures so I knew they were doing well. She also allowed them time to sit out on the back porch. Very profesdional”
“Amanda is great! So kind and thoughtful, even asked if I wanted my plants watered while I was gone 😂. She was great with my cat Juju ❤️. Even washed the dishes after feeding her.”
About: I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old. I have had various breeds from poodles to pit bulls. I cared for family member dogs when they were away. This is how I earned my allowance as a young child and teenager. Currently I have a 1yr. old red moyen poodle. I am totally in love w/my Ruby girl.We have gone tru much training together. 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. Ruby knows all on leash commands and is also crate-trained, but does not stay in one while at home. It would be available should your dog need it. Dogs are allowed on the furn. and on the bed, as this is where we cuddle & get kisses. My home is dog friendly in all ways, Ruby has a special fenced-in backyard just for her & playmates.Your dogs will LOVE-IT HERE !!!
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
“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.”
“Kyle was awesome for us. She did numerous drop in visits over Christmas break. Was at the house when she said every time and stayed the full 30 minutes. She made sure they were outside playing the entire time too. We asked her while we were gone if she could make a few more visits than we had originally planned and she was more than willing to accommodate our needs. We were very greatful for her help and will definitely use her again in the future if she is available. The dogs loved her from the second she walked in. Couldn't be more pleased!”
“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”
“She was great. Even called out my baby’s bumps she has all over and wanted to make sure that was normal. What Melissa didn’t know is we had two other dog walkers that day and neither of the other two walkers mentioned a thing about it. I would definitely rebook Melissa again.”
East Tampa cat parents share their Rover experiences
Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care
Katherine was excellent! She was able to work us in at the last minute when our previous cat sitter fell through shortly before a trip. She was extremely communicative, accommodating of specific requests, stayed the full 30 minutes, engaged with our cat the whole time, and gave very detailed reports. She also went above and beyond by bringing in several packages that arrived while we were gone. We will absolutely be using Katherine again in the future!
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.
