1. Kristin B.

“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”


2. Cece S.


“Cece took exceptional care of Daisy while we out of town for the week of Valentine’s Day. She sent us pictures everyday and even had a photoshoot with her, which we love seeing. Her dogs are also great and very friendly; as a small dog owner it puts us at ease knowing that the sitter understands little dog personalities.”


3. Trevor L.

“Trevor was great with Bosh & James! They loved him & he was very good about sending pics with daily updates while we were on vacation. Highly recommend him! Thank you!”


4. Deborah (Belinda) D.


“Deborah and her husband were awesome! No issues, they were able to accommodate our travel hiccups, and sent some of the best, happiest pics of our pup Gracie. Highly recommend.”


5. Lynne W.

“SO SO NICE! Lynn and her husband are such nice people. Cookie was so happy by them. She had access to a nice yard and the whole house. I got pictures and messages letting me know she was having a good time. They took great care of her. I already wanted to book a second time but they are not going to be in town.”


6. Janet W.

“Janet is a wonderful pet sitter! She kept us informed with pictures and videos nearly everyday of our dog’s happy adventures and play with the other dogs. He came back to us in really good shape with no signs of stress and went right back to our routine when we picked him up. We will definitely return our dog to Janet’s care during our next trip away.”


7. Joycemar E.

“Joycemar was great with both my pups! She kept me undated and sent videos of them. She provided a safe, fun environment for them…They didn’t even want to go home after the end of their stay! I would recommend her for your pets care!”


8. Maxine S.


“Maxine is wonderful! I was nervous about the idea of dropping off my fur baby with a stranger for a week but Maxine really cares about the animals she dogsits. From the moment I started texting her I knew she was the one I could feel comfortable leaving my Bella with. Not only did she give Bella her meds and keep up with her feeding schedule and potty breaks, she loved her as if she was her pet. She cuddled with her and took several super adorable photos and shared them with me throughout the week. I would absolutely call Maxine again to look after Bell for me and know she was loved and taken care of. This route is 1000× better than using a boarding service especially for my pom that needs love and attention. Bella enjoyed her time with Maxine. Thank you for everything, Maxine! 😍 ❤️”


9. Kiersten F.

“Phloyd had a great time! Kiersten was very good about providing updates and photos. Always nice to know your pup is comfortable and is getting plenty of attention when you are out of town. I will definitely be sending him back for my next trip!”




10. Debra C.

“Debra took great care of Daisy, sharing frequent updates and pictures, ensuring Daisy felt part of the family. I would highly recommend Debra!”


11. Patricia R.

“A really great environment for dogs they loved being there enjoyed being around other dogs, clean, well-maintained, great operator, and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day!”


12. Ashleigh E.

“Ashleigh was an absolute life save watching our dog Juneau! We had a trip planned for months & our dogs were going to stay with a boarder. However, June tore her ACL 2 weeks before our trip. I had never used Rover before but Ashleigh was perfect & put me at ease! She took the best care of June, sent a lot of updates, & kept her safe and happy! She was also very flexible as I had to ask her to watch Juneau an extra day. We can't thank her enough. Highly recommend her far all your fur baby needs!”


13. Spring W.

“Spring was very responsive to my messages. Her and her family were very thorough. I felt they were very genuine in learning and caring about my cat and understanding her routine, so that was very appreciated. They sent great updates during the stay as well. I would definitely use Spring again.”


14. Davina W.


“Im so glad i chose Davina, she was great and her price was reasonable too, she took care of my papaya and constantly update me with cute photos of her, I'm very grateful and will definitely book her again in the near future!”


15. Kristina W.

“Kristina did a wonderful job watching our golden retriever. She was very quick to communicate and made sure to keep us updated throughout the visit.”


16. Cheyanne B.


“We enjoyed receiving photo & message updates about Indy. Cheyanne and her partner took great care of her, communication was great, and pick up/drop off were quick & easy. We’ll be reusing her in the future!”


17. Yusleidy C.

“Yusleidy is the best Rover in the area, and who I trust wholeheartedly with my two dogs. This was the second time she watched them, and with all the pictures and videos she provides I know my dogs are so happy in her care. She celebrated my dogs 12 year old birthday by making her a little peanut butter treat, just going the extra mile to make my heart so happy. Thank you thank you thank you Yusleidy 💖”




18. Dzeni and Kathy H.


“Dzeni and Kathy were great with Susie Q. They sent us several pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. They are very friendly and great with dogs. I would certainly recommend them.”




19. Angie L.

“Angie was awesome! She was attentive, responsive and send updates of Sasha everyday. We was confident she will be in great hands when Sasha met her. Her home was welcoming big yard, lots of space. We will definitely book again future boarding.”


20. Luis A.

“Last minute services and first time user for rover! I was nervous to leave my son a.k.a. My dog alone with just anyone but he reassured me he was in good hands! Fast to respond and kept updates during my time away. Was even outside already for my arrival on both drop off and pick up! Will definitely be going back as a repeated customer! Also he has such an amazing family! A lot of love in his home for your pets while you are away!”
