“10/10 recommend Alex! I was so nervous trusting someone to watch our 4 cats and 11 month old puppy- we had a few specifications we needed and Alex seemed to meet all of those. After chatting with his stellar deference i was convinced he was exactly what we were hoping for! He checked in regularly by text and photos and asked questions whenever he needed information. I came home to very happy critters and a clean house. Alex at first seemed too good to be true- but he actually IS!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and over the years I have gained the hearts of many families and their fur babies. I know how to read animals body language, gain the animals trust Before going to school I will always check up on any animal I am taking care of and after school I will go straight to take care of the animals and let them out. Before bed I will let the animals out to use the bathroom I will follow the list the owners give me and if the owners says I need to sleep at their house I will to make sure their animals are safe and happy. When caring for my animals at home I always makes sure they have fresh water, food and enough love
“So thankful we found J! She took amazing care of our dog. Mail was brought in, house was clean, and even washed the sheets and made the guest bed! Daily updates and photos were a bonus. Our dog looked so happy on his adventures! Will definitely use again.”
About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Mary was very good at taking care of my cat , during our trip to the uk . She was prompt at replying to my texts about how Alfie was adjusting , and kept me informed of his eating patterns . Very happy with her service .”
“Kelli went above and beyond to make sure our anxious kitties were taken care of and relaxed during our trip. She’s very personable and considerate. She sent lots of updates and followed all instructions. Even our scaredy cat loved her right away. Our cats and our apartment were in great condition when we returned. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up with family pets around, making me comfortable around all kinds of animals. I began to experience a deep passion for animals and pets, so much so that I got a seasonal job at a pet boarding facility called Pet Paradise. There I was around different dogs and cats all day. Since then, I have been volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, walking dogs and hanging out with the cats. I even participated in the Doggie Day Out program at the shelter! I’m pretty much open any day or time! I currently am unemployed and not in school, so I can work on the fly! Very flexible schedule, ready to work for your fur babies! I currently have a dog in the household that can not be around other dogs, but I am more than happy to treat your animal in your own home! I help take care of the dog here by walking and feeding him, I also do the same for the two cats we own!
“Linda did an amazing job!! My dog actually didn’t want her to leave!! HIGHLY recommend her. You can leave and not worry! She keeps in touch and sends pictures. I will definitely use her again. I can’t say enough good things about her!! You won’t be disappointed if you use her to watch your fur babies !”
About: I have been around and taking care of dogs since I could walk. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I will always put your dogs interests ahead of me when I take care of them. Making sure they are let outside, feed, fresh water, loved. Also if you’re interested in a dog lover look no further. If your dog gets dirty or has a mess I’ll clean up. If you need plants watered I’ll take care of it. If you need light cleaning around the house I’ll take care of it(like vacuum only if provided) bring in the mail. If needed to take you dog to their favorite place if able to or if your dog wants to just snuggle on the couch is awesome as well. I like being able to help whenever I can. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better. I provide in your home service from walking or if you have a fenced in yard I’ll play with your dog outside. I provide safety by knowing my surroundings and knowing what your dog is capable of.
“Harry did wonderfully with Makenna! She sent photos of him during their time together, which put my heart at ease. Also, while he was happy to see us, he was calm upon our arrival so I know having her with him eased his separation anxiety.”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I have 7 years experience house and pet sitting experience. I am comfortable with all sized dogs and cats. I work full time, but I am able to care for your pets before and after work during the week and all day Saturday and Sundays! I can do drop ins, take your dog on a walk, go on runs, and take your dogs to the dog park. I can also brush your furry friend and administer medication. Should a thunder storm roll in, and your pet requires a thunder blanket or anxiety medication, I’d be happy to drop by and provide that care (provided it’s not during work hours). I can also provide light housekeeping so you return to a clean home :) I do work full time, but I am available for drop ins/walks/accompaniment before work and after work (9-5pm) as well as anytime on the weekends! I do not care for pets in my own home due to my two cats, but I follow all direction and instructions from the pet owner as a best practice :)
“Emma is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our one dog and two cats for a weekend and did an excellent job. She was very attentive to their needs and made sure they were well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Emma, for taking such good care of our furry babies!”
“So happy to have Carly staying at the house with my 2 scaredy kitties who are afraid of everyone. Carly was extremely responsive, communicative and responsible, taking great care of the house and kittens and going the extra mile to make it a smooth several days for all. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life I’ve had all types from huskys and sheep dogs to Pomeranian and chilauauas so I have experience with all breeds and sizes I am currently retired so i have plenty of time for dog care and I’m looking forward to meeting and taking care of owners pets I have my own little dog who is very friendly with other dogs he loves to play and there’s a nearby dog park that I can take them to play besides the normal walks
“Kristie is the BEST! She watched our pup Lolo for us for our whole wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about him at all, just enjoyed our day to the max. Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”
“Morgan took great care of our boys while housesitting. She was very attentive to their needs during the meet and greet and I received many pictures throughout her stay. I would be glad to have her back!”
Elfers pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mariah was amazing, and my dog was great with her, too. When I left and returned, the house was spotless, as if no one had been there. She washed the sheets and towels she used and put them back on the bed. I can't say enough about her. The communication was great. I will use her every time I go away!
Amelia was the amazing!! I had never done house sitting before and she made sure all of my fur babies needs were met. He was not feel well during her stay and kept me updated consistently while sending me plenty of photos! Even cleaned up around my house for me. She is the BEST!!
This was the first time we have ever had anyone other than a family member keep our puppy. Jenny was amazing. She and our puppy got along from the first time as she walked in the door. While we’re away, Jen would send photos and little notes. When we got home, the house was as we left it. She was absolutely amazing and would absolutely hire her again.
Tonya is absolutely AMAZING! After our meet and greet, we felt so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Leaving a senior dog with health needs was a concern for us but she put our minds at ease and attended to their every need. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. She will definitely be our first call every time we need a sitter.
