“Joshua was absolutely amazing!! Was able to watch Harbor last minute ! She came home so tired after a day at the Barkley! We will definitely be using Joshua again to watch after harbor! Thanks again:)”


“My puppy loves his time and after just two visits is wagging his tail when he sees Erandi! She is so great and helpful. I love the pictures and videos she sends and she truly cares about the dogs. She’s made this transition to the dog mom life a lot easier. Thank you so much, Erandi!”



“This is the first time we’ve left our 2 small dogs with anyone outside our family. Nikki was awesome! She really is a dog person and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We got plenty of pictures and could see the smiles on their face! Highly recommend!!”

“Never really thought I would be able to find someone like Kelly.... professional, friendly, Lily loved her, sent me pictures and kept me in the loop. I'm taking Lily back tomorrow for doggy daycare so that I can enjoy Memorial Day knowing she will get excellent care. I will be a repeat client.”


“Sarah & Johnathan, have been amazing with my little guy since day one at our meet and greet. They asked many great questions to prepare them to better care for him. In order to make sure he would be cared for just the way I liked and to make for easy transitions between home and daycare. My schedule is one that can be very long, difficult and unpredictable and they have been so understanding and accommodating to that fact. I feel so safe and confident when Winston is with them in their home. I know he is being cared for and loved just like he was their own. They are both great at communicating and responding in a very timely manner. There is not one bad thing I could say about these two! If you are thinking about it just do it. You will not be disappointed with this doggy duo.”


“Andrea did a great job caring for my Aussie! She is very welcoming and kind, and my pup loved her huge back yard. We also appreciated her flexibility for change to drop-off time, and was very responsive in her communications. Thank you Andrea!”


About: I love dogs! I’ve used Rover, with my beloved dog Petey and figured I could do the same. I work from home weekends. I have a fenced in yard, I was so happy to come back from my trip and pick up my dog safe and happy I want to provide that for others! I’ve watched multiple dogs up to 3, and all different kinds big and small. I want your dog to be comfortable and well taken care of. I work from home my dog is usually in the room with me during work, but dogs are free to roam around as they please. I supervise outside in backyard. I feed dogs twice a day, multiple bathroom breaks, my doggy is sweet and older and small not neutered so if separation is need I can arrange that as well. I have a real love for animals especially dogs!!

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with pets and even worked on an animal farm. I just really love animals, and they tend to feel calm and safe around me. I’ve looked after playful pups and senior dogs too. My poodle lived to 18, and in his later years, I helped him navigate blindness and hearing loss with lots of patience and love. That taught me how important gentle care is, especially as pets get older. What sets me apart is my calm energy and natural connection with animals. Whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet like family, because that’s what they are. Pet care fits into my life really naturally. I make my own schedule, so I have the flexibility to give animals the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy making space for animals in my routine, they bring me peace and joy. I keep things simple and cozy. Whether I’m at your place or they’re at mine, I stick to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed. Lots of play, fresh air, cuddles (if they want them), and keeping their space clean and comfy. I treat them like my own.

“Ben was an absolutely amazing sitter ! He was incredibly accommodating to our last min request and drop off/pick up. Our dog was so well taken care of and had an absolute blast spending the day with Ben! 10/10 would recommend!!”


About: Hello! Current puggle mom, available for part time pet sitting and/or boarding. I have a very friendly 8 year old puggle, so I require that your doggy is great with other dogs. I have a very comfortable home, steps away from the Patterson park dog park, where I take my dog often to play and for walks! Why I love dog sitting: I prefer doggies to humans most of the time! Some call me a dog whisperer- I am instantly very close and make sure to have a bond with each and every animal...I understand separation anxiety can sometimes be challenging so I do my best to treat doggies like lil human beings- making them as happy and comfortable as possible! I make sure every animal has individual attention, care and love while mommy/daddy are away. Meet my pets Puggle. About my yard I do not...I have a small back porch, but I generally walk my dogs 2-3 times a day, and take them to the dog park to get exercise. If I watch your pet during the week, I work less than a mile from home and can stop over frequently to let them out mid-day. I love taking long walks too! [If your doggie can keep up with me ;) ]

“Jennifer and her family took great care of our dog during Doggy Day Care. We are really excited to board him this weekend. Not many Rovers invite you in to see where your dog will be hanging out, but Jennifer did. We have peace of mind for our pup after one day!”


About: For the last twenty-two years David and I have rescued, fostered, rehabilitated and re-homed hundreds of dogs, from 5 lb chihuahuas to 120 lb German shepherds, and we loved each and every one of them as if they were our own! We realize that not all pets are the same and that they all require a different type of care. It is our goal to make sure that I am giving your pet what it needs to be happy. Whether it is tons of play time. a warm lap to sit in or a jog around the lake, we will do what it takes to make sure your fur babies feels just as loved as if they were with you. We love walking the dogs along the waterfront in St. Pete and Gulfport or through one of the lovely parks or trails in Pinellas. I am certified in pet CPR. We have had as many as six dogs sharing out home with us through dog rescuing and dog sitting. As a result of that experience we am able to administer medicine, provide minor PT, work on minor behavioral issues and most importantly give them tons of love!!! Pet care is my life! We schedule our daily routine around your pets and their needs! We will only walk, sit, visit or board your pets if we can personally commit to being with them the entire time. We have tons of dog beds and soft spots for the babies to lay on! Outside is a fenced in yard that they can play in under supervision. Lots of time for cuddles and exercise!

“I cannot recommend lvy enough as a dog sitter! She has cared for my pups many times, and they absolutely adore her. I have three dogs with very different personalities a spunky little one, a sweet but shy guy, and an older cuddle bug and she handles each of them with so much love, patience, and attention. She treats my dogs like her own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and spoiled with affection. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to their routines, or just snuggling on the couch, Ivy is truly amazing. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving hands when I’m away. Any dog would be lucky to have her and any pet parent even luckier!”
