“Joann is AMAZING!!! I am so so very happy I left my Mia with her. As a first time mom of a fur-baby, I’m still learning. Joann has been great with easing my concerns and providing me suggestions for Mia. We had a great “meet and greet” where I got to meet her, her mom and her little beagle. The family is lovely and welcoming! Joann answered all my questions, and she was so understanding when I had to cancel due to inclement weather. When I rescheduled and she watched my little Mia, she communicated with me and kept me informed. She sent me multiple pics during the stay. I felt so comfortable leaving my Mia with her. I absolutely will continue to book with Joann. In fact I’ve already scheduled an over night stay with her. I recommend Joann all the way!! (Thank you Joann- from Mia and Tasha 😊)”
“I’m always so nervous to try a new sitter for Niko - I spend hours researching and reading reviews and then worry all day usually when I drop him off haha. I chose Janet because of the amazing reviews and boy, I’m SO glad I did. I didn’t worry at all about him all day with all the updates and pictures Janet sent me, ensuring he was safe and having a blast. He’s been sleeping since he got home, he was so tuckered out from all the fun he had with Janet and his friends. I will DEFINITELY book again! Thank you!”
“Trevor did an outstanding job looking after my puppy! He not only kept me updated with awesome photos and regular updates throughout the day but also ensured my pup returned to me squeaky clean! My puppy was worn out and seemed to have the best day with Trevor. I couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional care!”
“My dog had an amazing day, when we picked her up she was happy and full of energy, throughout the day, Keith sent us pictures and a message of how her day was going. We are very satisfied. We'll be booking again! :)”
“Debra and her son were wonderful with Olive. She settled in right away and was just as comfortable as she is at home. I loved getting updates throughout the day, it was clear she was having a great time. We’d happily book with them again.”
“Very pleased with the accommodations!! Inside area is fabulous for pups to hang during warm days. Loved that someone was physically with him all day to monitor the pups while they played!! Thank you very much! We have a tired little pooch tonight!!”
“They were so patient with me, working in healthcare there was so many things that shifted my schedule but they reassured me that I was okay and treated my dog so well”
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”
“Latte always receives kind and gentle care from Desiree. Could not recommend her more!!! I always enjoy seeing him play with her own two dogs, they seem to get along great 😊”
About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of time, attention, and love to give your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I especially love caring for adult/senior dogs.🤍 I love getting to know each dog’s personality, routine, and little quirks. I’m happy to provide a calm, welcoming home where they can relax, feel at ease, and get plenty of love while you’re away. :) I’m home most of the day with my son, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I'm able to take them out for longer walks if needed, provide exercise and play, and cuddles! :) We live in a calm, pet-friendly community with plenty of grassy areas for walks and a fenced dog park. Your pup’s safety is a priority, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and levels of comfort.
“Laura is the best. Our boy Jimmy loves her and she is a fantastic communicator. I am so glad she is so close and able to allow us to work knowing our boy is well cared for.”
About: I provide loving, reliable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s needs. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or birds, I treat your pets like family, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a hairstylist who makes my own schedule and I have a lot of free time. What better way than to spend my free time caring for animals! I make sure to create a safe, calm environment whether I’m at your home or mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I keep an eye on their behavior and comfort, giving them love and care so they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away.
About: As a devoted pet owner to my beloved Julie,I have gained invaluable experience in providing exceptional care and nurturing for animals. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the responsibilities and joys that come with being a pet parent. I’m available to take care of your pet in my home Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM, you need overnight stays: I offer overnight stays for pets that require 24. At my home, the safety and well-being of your furry friends are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pets in someone else's care requires trust and assurance, which is why I have taken several measures to create a secure and comfortable environment. My home is equipped with a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and controlled space for supervised playtime and exercise. This ensures that your pets can enjoy the outdoors while remaining within a secure boundary. To further enhance safety, I have installed cameras throughout my home, including the backyard. These cameras allow me to monitor your pets' activities and ensure their well-being at all times. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are under constant supervision, even when I'm not physically present in the same room.
“Apasara took great care of my anxious boy, & even played calming music for him. She responds quickly & sends lots of updates & pictures. Will definitely be using again.”
“I was visit from out of town for a medical conference. I couldn’t bring my dog to the conference. Laura was so understanding and kind. She understood I was not going to be a repeat customer. However she stepped up to help me and watch Peaches. She gave her medicine too.”
“How did we know our princess was in good hands? When she literally ran up the steps to see her new BFF Penny. Can't forget to mention Amanda and Matthew are amazing. It's nice to know we can leave our girl and know she will be loved and cared for.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 18 years, and I keep my Rover bookings intentionally small so every pet gets plenty of individual attention rather than feeling like one of many. I’m home throughout most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and a routine that can be adjusted to what each pet is used to at home. I’m especially patient with dogs who need extra time to settle into a new environment. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, crate routines, and other care instructions, and I send plenty of photo updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, dogs should be comfortable sharing a home with my dog, Zoey, and our three cats. I also offer walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to give each pet dependable, individualized care that feels as familiar and low-stress as possible—and give their parents peace of mind while they’re away. I'm home throughout most of the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and companionship throughout your pet's stay. My schedule is generally flexible, and I'm happy to work with your pet's usual routine whenever possible. I just ask that drop-off, pick-up, and visit times are communicated in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family while still following the routines and boundaries they're used to at home. I keep my bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and closely monitor how they're settling in. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time, and I supervise interactions between guest dogs and my own pets. Everyone has space to separate, relax, and decompress when needed, and I never expect animals to interact simply because they're sharing the same home. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, crate routine, walking routine, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort level so I can adjust their environment if they seem overwhelmed or need more space. For walks and drop-in visits, I'm respectful of your home and follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. My priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that works for them, rather than expecting every animal to fit the same routine.
“Dawn was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Sandra! Dogs have been part of our family for more than 25 years, and we’ve always believed they deserve to be treated as family—not simply cared for as pets. I’m a retired nurse and now home full-time, which gives me the opportunity to spend my days doing something I truly love—caring for dogs. That’s how Barks and Beds Carrollwood came to be. Dogs staying with me become part of our home while they’re here. They can relax on the couch, play, cuddle, enjoy our large fully fenced backyard, and settle in just as they would at home. I’m here throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. I intentionally keep my care personal and home-based rather than creating the feel of a traditional boarding facility. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, favorite things, and what makes them feel most comfortable. After 25+ years of loving and caring for our own dogs, I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for yours. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your dog has a safe, comfortable and loving home away from home. Barks and Beds Carrollwood 🐾 Pet care is part of every minute of my day, and it truly brings me joy. I’m a retired registered nurse and now home full-time, so caring for the dogs isn’t something I have to fit around a work schedule—it’s simply part of my life. From morning routines and meals to backyard play, walks, cuddles, and quiet time, I’m here throughout the day. I genuinely love having the dogs around me, getting to know their individual personalities, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re here. I care for every dog in my home just as I care for my own dogs—as a member of the family. They share our home and our large, fully fenced yard and are included in our daily life. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their family is away. I’m home full-time, so they receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, supervision, and individual attention throughout the day. My goal is for every dog who stays with me to feel like they’re part of the family from the moment they arrive.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Greater Carrollwood
Debra was awesome, especially because we needed a last minute sitter. Our pup loved playing with the others around him and Debra sent us pictures along the way. Our engagement went over the time we originally planned and Debra had no issues whatsoever. We will surely be asking her to puppy sit again in the future!
We had a great experience with Joy’ stay in Patricia’s house. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and thoughtful, and it was clear that the environment was well set up for the dogs’ comfort and safety. She was very communicative throughout the day and sent us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind as first-time daycare users. We could see that Joy was being well cared for and enjoying her time with the other dogs. We really appreciated the care, professionalism, and communication. We would definitely trust her with Joy again and would not hesitate to book with her in the future.

- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
