About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. From a young age my parents emphasized the importance of properly caring for and loving all the animals I had, and trust me we have had our fair share! I’ve had cats and dogs, birds, fish, and frogs… and even a bearded dragon! Now it’s a little more lowkey as my boyfriend and I live with our sweet 2 year old rescue pup named Koda. Nothing brings me as much happiness as caring for and spoiling my fur baby (hopefully another fur baby soon) and I would love to help do the same for your pets as well! I currently work remotely from home. My schedule is pretty flexible other than my 2-3 set meetings each day. I am available for drop ins or overnights since I can take my work with me and plan my day around my meetings! I am a firm believer that pets deserve all the love in the world. I pride myself on how much time and attention I pour into my rescue pup and I think it’s important that the same standard applies for any clients animals I have the pleasure of taking care of. Being a rescue pup, my fur baby has a lot of special quirks that have taken time to learn and address accordingly to give her the best life possible. I believe each animal deserves the same attention.

About: Hi there! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by pups, and today I’m the proud dog dad of a joyful 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Harper 🐶💛 I'm currently offering daily dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Saturday 🗓️, and I do this full-time — which means your pup gets my full attention and flexibility. I'm available between 9am and 7pm 🕘🐕, ready to keep tails wagging and paws moving! 🐕 I treat every dog as if they were my own, with love, patience, and the utmost care ❤️🐾 Whether it’s a quick visit or a nice long stroll, your furry friend is in kind and capable hands. I offer dog walking and drop-ins full-time Monday through Saturday 🐶🗓️. I plan my day around keeping pets happy, active, and well-loved ❤️. It’s more than a job — it’s something I truly enjoy! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their specific routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, or a nice walk around the block, I make sure each visit is safe, comfortable, and filled with love. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always leave the home just as I found it. I always have my phone on me, so I am always a text or phone call away.

“Tina took such good care of my dog during her daily walks while I was away! She took the cutest pictures and mitigated my dog’s reactivity on walks perfectly. We really appreciate how stress free it was having her help and will be in touch again soon!”


“Jordan is great! This was her second time walking our sweet Penny. She took Penny on a walk and thoughtfully paused in shady spots to let her get her sniffs in during this summer heat. She refilled her food and water bowls and also sent tons of great pics! We will continue to choose Jordan for our pup walking needs.”

About: I have years of experience caring for my own dog and several other breeds. I am skilled at giving medication. I am able to walk and feed your baby at a reliable time. I’m currently working full time from home, and will only sit 1 or two dogs at a time so I will always be available to provide the best communication for your pet. I do offer daily walks, and I do not crate animals unless I am stepping out of the house for a bit. I live in a 2 bedroom home with a fenced yard and I currently own a pitbull named Bruno who gets along with every dog that he meets. There are dog beds and water throughout the house so that your pet will always be comfortable

About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for a while now. And I really do enjoy my work. This is my first time using Rover. Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I help my partner take care of his boarding and daycare clients. I'm a big fan of dogs and cats. They love me too. I'm a former social worker. But these days I cherish the time I get to spend with my pet clients. I have lots of time to offer in this regard. Always up for a snuggle. I enjoy walking and playing with your pups. I'll treat them as if they were my own!🐶 I have a fully fenced yard. Lots of room to roam. I have lots of time to offer your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

About: I love dogs, and more importantly when it comes to all animals, I have a huge heart. Dogs especially are my favorite. You couldn't ask for a more fun-loving, loyal, and caring companion to spend your time with. I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!

About: 27 with about 17 years of animal husbandry and pet care experience. I am a former dog trainer with Tip Top K9 so I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs — from large, stubborn working breeds to nervous pups who need extra patience. I also have personal experience with exotic animals, so if you have a scaley friend or a pocket pet I can care for them as well. Rover is my full time curently so I have availability every single day, including weekends and holidays and can be available at any time of the day. I've done overnight sitting as well as check ins, so I'm comfortable with either, or a combination depending on you and your pets needs. I can also care for exotic pets and plants as well.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring with animals and I’ve also volunteered at a couple of pet places. I have experience with very loud and messy dogs and can pretty much clean any mess. Im available pretty much every day and on holidays so depending on what comes up I will take the pet with me if I can depending on the circumstances and if the owner gives permission. I’d spend my time playing with them and cuddling with them as well as taking them for short walks. Sometimes I’ll offer a dog human food so if that isn’t wanted just let me know.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Throughout my life I’ve had a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, parrots, turtles, hamsters, and even baby possums! My love for animals inspired me to get involved in volunteer work during my time at Florida State University, where I joined a charity-focused sorority that partnered with local animal shelters and organizations to support pets in need. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family and friends, giving them the same attention, comfort, and love that I give my own. For me, looking after animals isn’t just a responsibility—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel deeply connected to. My schedule is pretty open and flexible with a lot of free time to offer drop-ins and dog walking any time needed throughout the day When caring for pets in the owner's house I will follow any instructions their owners might have and will strive to make both the pet and owner as happy and comfortable as possible.

About: I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away. I'm currently self employed running my own Amazon store. Since I work on my own schedule I wanted to also work part time doing something that I have tons of passion for; working with animals. I can dedicate the tailored care that your pets need since my regular job is not tied down by normal business hours. I believe leaving pets in their own home and mirroring their normal schedule helps with lessening stress and anxiety while you are away. With that said, I'm available for drop-in visits to help give you and your pets peace of mind. If you need mail & packages brought in or even a house plant or 2 watered, just let me know and I can do that for you as well.

She has cared for my dog and cat and we could not have been happier with the loving care they received. They both require medication and are on strict diets. She is very trustworthy and has stayed in our home to care for our pets while we were out of town. She has a Masters in Exercise Science and has recently moved to the Tampa Bay area. Your pet would be lucky to have her as your pet sitter!”

“Outstanding as always”

“I have been good friends with Sharina for over five years. She has always been a caring, compassionate, loving, and loyal friend. Sharina recently adopted a furson of her own, which is she has been wanting to do for some time now. Being a furmom is fitting for her! The way she cares for Bruno and pays attention to every detail of his life, is beautiful. I have no doubt she won’t do the same for your pup. Book with Sharina today!”


Michelle L.
“Michelle was great with my 2 English mastiffs! I was working alot of hours and was feeling pretty bad about my dogs being home alone all day. Michelle would take them both out and about, one on each side of her. My mastiffs are NOT fast paced. They would rather lean into you and stand still than "walk". But Michelle learned their personalities quickly and she is now one of their favorite humans. I would definitely recommend her for all of your pets needs!”
