“Felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their hands. They sent me pots of every visit. But most of all my baby responded well to them. So I knew he would be happy on his walks.”
“Kelli was our dog walker for almost 2 years she was great with our dog! So sweet and loving to her I never worried when I was away. Kelli watch our dog at our apt. so that our dog was happy and safe in her own space. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a little help with their furry friend!”
“Christine was great, loved our little Roxy as we do, communicated very well via the initial home visit and texting thru out the dog walking time frame, even sent us a few pictures.”
“Camron has been great working with the slow introduction to walks and hopefully future sitting with my particularly shy and fearful dog. His breed needs a lot of time to warm up to strangers and new caretakers/sitters when someone he knows isn’t present and she’s been very understanding and patient learning that he will not be okay going on walks with her alone without me going too for an initial period of time but my Auguste is starting to warm up to her after just a few visits! I think soon he’ll be excited to see her when she comes to walk him!”
“Karla was amazing! she was so communicative and sent so many photos. She kept me updated on everything she was doing which was great. my dog meeko loves her.”
About: I have always loved dogs, I had one since I could remember. I currently have a 13 year old Pomeranian, she’s my world! Shes in good health, I am very attentive to her; she has routine meals, walks and bath. I love dogs of all ages and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to play with your pet, my flexible schedule allows me to be with your pet all day to attend to their needs. I have a fenced backyard with a doggy door. The Tampa bay trail is walking distance from my home, perfect for doggies who love walks. In a 5 minute drive there’s also 2 doggy’s parks.
“Desiree has been great for Paco and a relief for Mom. Knowing she's there to take him out for sniffs and exercise has made a new dog of our aging boy.”
“Lydia took great care of Luna, sent thorough updates and pictures, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they aren't at home. Thank you for taking great care of our pup!”
“She checked on little things and went over and beyond!”
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've owned cats & dogs my entire life, and I've recently taken to training puppies on basic tricks and manners. The safety & comfort of your loved animals are my top priorities. I've cared for dogs of every size and administered various daily medicines and shots to pets in need. I'm a grad student at USF with spare time to spend on caring for your pets. The exercise from walking or playing with pets gives me a break from hitting the books & helps pay for my travel to conferences. I take the client's requests seriously. I care for their pets how they would themselves. I have the time in my schedule to spend with the pets for their comfort.
“Jen went above and beyond with my dog Clifford. She showed up on time for his walk, left a very detailed note of what took place during her time with him, and sent some awesome photos. I appreciated that she was reliable/dependable, and that she really wanted to make sure that both my dog and I had a great experience with her. I would definitely use her again to help care for my very best friend!”
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: I never met a dog who didn't love my vibe but what makes me stand out is that I have experience working with dogs cancer, seizures and anxiety. I'm currently studying for me CNA and Home Health Aid licenses during the weekdays so it would be best for me to work throughout the weekend. Whenever I'm with my friends and their dogs I am not assertive while the owner is present but I'm always sure to maintain boundaries with pets. In general I think that my calm demeanor is what makes pets enjoy my company.
About: I have taken care of my family, friends and neighbors pet for many years. I am semi retired young woman that loves animals. They are family I am currently retired and have a lot of time and love for your fur babies. They bring me joy daily. I can also come to yur home for drop in walking and feeding I have a small 10lb Shih Tzu and 2 friendly cats. There is plenty of space for play time and plenty of room for walks
“Justine is always great!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets—from cats and dogs to peacocks, pigs, and even goats. Friends and family always turn to me when they need someone to care for their pets, because they know I treat every animal like my own. Since I’m not able to have pets of my own right now, I pour all my love and attention into the ones I care for—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every moment we’re together. Pet care fits naturally into my life. After caring for my mother and leaving my job, I now have time—and a heart that craves connection. Animals bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, giving that love to others’ pets feels truly fulfilling. If I can make a living by doing something that brings me peace, purpose, and happiness, I’m all in. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship. I create a calm, safe space where they feel relaxed and happy. I pay attention to their body language, moods, and needs, always putting their comfort first. Your pet isn’t just being watched—they’re being genuinely cared for by me :).
About: What sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of all ages. I provide personalized care tailored to each dog's needs, including puppy training, senior care, administering medications, and managing special needs. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family—with love, attention, and trust. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I dedicate time each day for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins, ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for with consistent attention throughout the week. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I create a calm, safe environment by closely following their routines. I provide meals, exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of affectionate, attentive care to keep them happy and comfortable.

Sharina F.
“Talk about AMAZING!!! I usually don’t trust many people with my dog especially since he has certain attributes that others need to pay attention to when watching him. However, Sharina is very thorough and pays attention to every need with extreme care. She also ensures he eats very well and will often purchase fresh food to ensure my dog eats his best along with multiple treats readily available. Since she is an active person and also works from home, I can be sure that my dog is walked often and will always receive love and affection. My favorite part is her dog Bruno is just as loving as her. My dog gets so excited to see him and Bruno gets along with everyone and all other pets. Seeing them play all day is amazing. To take it up a notch, she also sends videos and pictures everyday to show any behaviors, activities, new adventures, or even sleep time. She is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her to anyone with your pet.”

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!”
Trinity W.
“Trinity has been our next door neighbor for several years. During this time we have had 6 different dogs in our household. She has visited our home for family and friend gatherings, holidays and neighborly exchanges. During these visits she has been in contact with the dogs frequently. The dogs have always taken a liking to Trinity right away. She has a calmness and caring demeanor about her that the animals pick up on right away. She always greets our dogs by name and says goodbye to them as well when she leaves. I believe she will be a good addition to the Rover dog caring family.”
