“Olivia was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and my home while I was away. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house, which was such a relief after traveling. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flights got delayed and stayed an extra night with no hesitation. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. Highly recommend Olivia—she’s the best!”


“Nusa was on time and cared for my pup according to the instructions given. She was respectful of me and my space. And she is very flexible and willing to help!”


“She was amazing with my pets! She took them on walks everyday, to the pet park, and made sure to send me daily end of the day updates on everything they did! I’ve never felt more safe for my pets while leaving, i’m usually nervous about leaving them but now that I have Taylor I feel so good that i’m leaving them in good hands!”


“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”


“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”


“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.”


“Zach was incredibly professional and a great communicator. He listened intently to my pets routines and made sure they each had their needs met.”


“This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.”


“When I needed someone on fairly short notice to keep my dogs, Karin came through and was the perfect sitter. It’s obvious she cares for my dogs just as much as I do, and I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks Karin for taking great care of my dogs!”


“Christie was terrific! She took great care of Coco, which gave us a day off for fun on our anniversary. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you Christie!”


About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.

“Everything went really well! I can tell my puppies really liked Justina just from how calm they were upon my return. She was both pleasant to interact with and consistent/detailed with providing updates (all of which fell in line with my requests). I'd definitely recommend Justina if you are looking for someone to take care of your nervous dogs.”


“I booked Michele for an extended house & dog sitting service. Both my home and pup were in perfect condition when I got home :) she sent me multiple photos a day (probably bc she knew I was nervous!) and was very communicative. I’ll be booking Michele for all my future needs for my dog!”



About: Tampa native that has been around furry creatures my whole life. I would love to fill my free time with carrying for your furry friends! I have a 90 lb. golden retriever back home as a reference. I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and neighbors since before I could drive. I’m available most weekday evenings, and all day weekends, including Fridays. Your dogs and I are going to get along so well they might be asking you when I’ll be back. I’m definitely on the smaller side stature-wise, so I would prefer small to medium size or easy-to-handle larger to dogs. I am also able to spend time at your dog’s home which you are graciously allowed to occupy, for home visits and house sitting as needed. I’ve always been around animals, so it’s always been a part of my routine. I make sure to give my furry friends love every day so I can happily add yours to my rotation! I do offer overnight house-sitting if your pets are more comfortable with a companion. Let me know your pet’s preferences, needs and routine and I’ll keep it up while you’re away!

About: I am experienced in training dogs and spotting unwanted behavior as well as administering medicine! I have two decades of experience dog sitting. I plan on moving out of state later this summer but will be fully available until then! I work afternoons but I am flexible with time. I have no problem going to take care of your loved one or bringing them over to have a sleepover! My dog is crate trained for when I have visiting animals over. I make sure they are in a comfortable setting and know they are safe and sound!

“Nancy did such an incredible job watching our dog Bentley! She kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend we were away and it was clear Bentley was in great hands. Thank you!”


About: I treat pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and great at reading animals’ moods and needs. as of right now I have a very open schedule where I could fit walks or any other services in my schedule so I would be pretty open. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the client’s home, I do my best to create a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps them feel comfortable and cared for. In the client’s home, I stick to the pet’s usual routine as much as possible, from feeding schedules to walks and playtime, and make sure their space stays clean and familiar. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected. If caring for pets in my own home, I make sure the space is pet friendly, clean, and cozy. I always supervise interactions, provide plenty of attention, and adjust to each pet’s personality and needs

“Amazing! Took such great care of Nina and house was well kept 🙏10/10”


About: My first job was at an exotic pet shop. I quickly learned how to care for a variety of animals and a passion grew for ethics in animal care. I love cats and dogs, I’ve had them my whole life. And I also have worked with animal rescue for birds, lizards, turtles, and many other kinds of animals. I am very passionate about two things. Fitness and animals. If your dog loves to go for walks I look at it as a motivation to get myself moving! If ur can’t likes the tiring string play all over I make sure to commit until we’re both panting! Hehe I work full time Monday through Friday with plenty of time in the morning and evening to make sure to spend a good amount of time with your fur baby! I treat others homes as I would hope someone would treat mine. I’m an honest woman, with morals guided by my faith. I treat animals with the utmost respect.

carolina M.
“To whom it may concern, I’m delighted to write this testimonial for my best friend, Carolina M., who is hoping to become a pet sitter and dog walker on Rover.com. Carolina is one of the most caring, trustworthy, and responsible people I know. Her love for animals is truly genuine — just ask her adorable mini Goldendoodle, Benji, who is not just her pet but her little best friend. She treats him with so much love, patience, and attention, and I know she would care for any dog as if they were her own. She has a calming presence that animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether it’s taking a long walk, giving cuddles, or making sure each pet feels safe and happy, Carolina is the kind of person who goes above and beyond. You can count on her to follow routines carefully, communicate clearly, and, most importantly, shower your pet with affection. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only reliable but also truly passionate about pets, Carolina is the perfect choice.”

Linda V.
“Linda is a warm and loving pet caregiver. She treats the animals just like they are her own babies. She has watched 3 of our families dogs and they just love her! She goes beyond just caregiver duties. She talks to them, she plays with them and she also sleeps with them when she watches them for an extended period of time. Linda is dependable and trustworthy and I know your fur babies will love her just as much as ours do!”

Deanna was super awesome! She catered to all my dog’s anxiety and took great care of her. I highly recommend!!

I booked Michele for an extended house & dog sitting service. Both my home and pup were in perfect condition when I got home :) she sent me multiple photos a day (probably bc she knew I was nervous!) and was very communicative. I’ll be booking Michele for all my future needs for my dog!

Karin was so nice and accommodating to our dog Benny. She sent lots of pictures and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Kirsten is great to work with! She was a clear communicator and took great care of Roscoe and of our house. I would highly reccomend working with her.

Rachel was amazing! We were away from our cats for two whole weeks, which was so hard, but Rachel made it so much easier to trust that our cats were in the best hands! She sent pictures often and always kept us updated. I totally trust her with my pets and my home & would highly recommend her to anyone!

felt very comfortable leaving my girls with Addison! she was very communicative the entire weekend & sent lots of pics :) and came home to a SPOTLESS house!

alexis was amazing to say the least. she asked a lot of questions to make sure our pets were taken care of properly and also spammed us with photo updates which i loved. very trustworthy. I highly recommend her, you won’t regret it! ❤️

Madison was wonderful with all of our pets and she was very flexible. When our flight was delayed, she made an extra trip to help with all of our animals.

Micheal was fantastic. Fiona was so happy when I returned home!! He took her for her first walk along Bayshore Boulevard and she was able to spend time with Maple. Micheal exceeded my expectations!! Look forward to seeing both of them soon.

logan is so sweet and treated my girls so well. they both had a great time and were very well taken care of. i would recommend him for anyone who needs pet care! he kept me updated with photos from every visit and it made me day!

Veronica is the best, and my little doggy loves her! He is normally very shy and reserved, but he took to her right away and even runs to greet her when she shows up for their walks. I will continue using her services.

George fed my dog, slept with, played with and walked him, and i couldn't even tell my house had been visited by anyone else! He will definitely take your pet and house as seriously as it was his. He also watered my plants and took in a Sams Club delivery. Thanks for hanging out with Skeat, George!

Calyx was fantastic! Great with a new puppy. Couldn’t be happier with her professionalism and with the care she took of my golden retriever.

Karenna did an amazing job caring for my two labs! Constant walks, helping them learn good behavior when no one’s home, and making sure they were fed. Along with great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!

Isabel took great care of our cats and was super responsive. She even got my shy cat to warm to her. :) Very much recommend her!

Katie far exceeded any and all expectations, and was absolutely amazing with our pup!! She sent daily pictures and updates of our sweet boy. It was such a relief that I didn’t have to worry for a single minute while he was in Katie’s care. She also took incredible care of our home, and even went the extra mile to change the linens! We could not have been happier and with our experience and look forward to working with Katie again soon!
