“Dian treats our puppies like her own!! They have absolutely loved spending the past couple of weekends with her. They cry when we leave because they miss Dian and her puppy. We are new to the st. Pete area and thrilled we have found the perfect sitter for our pups! You won’t regret booking with Dian.”

“Adrina and Scarlet were friendly and professional. They gave constant updates by pictures and text and very accommodating to Whiskey’s needs. We’ll definitely use them again.”

“Our dogs loved their time with Gianna and her big yard out back! She sent daily updates and pictures. When we came to pick them up, they were very happy, will certainly be visiting again. Great stay, thanks Gianna!”

“Brianna has done a wonderful job taking care of our little dog Ginger! This was our second booking with Brianna. It’s been a great relief to know we can rely on Brianna. I hope she is always available to be our dog sitter. She has had no problems with feeding her. She even had a blanket for Ginger to use when we forgot to bring Ginger’s bed. Thanks so much Brianna!!”

“Milo loved his stay with Susan. He especially loved chasing lizards in the beautiful back yard. When I went to pick him up, he wanted to stay longer. Susan sent me updates and communication was timely.”


“Beverly was kind enough to take a last minute reservation. I was able to do a meet and greet with her dog Opal and my dog Zena. They both got along well. Beverly was great with providing pictures and updates. Her yard is perfect as it is fully fenced in. I would definitely recommend Beverly. Zena was relaxed and happy when I came to get her.”

“They were amazing! Guilligan was so well taken care of and comfortable with them. I hate to admit it, but I don’t think he noticed he wasn’t in his own home with us. We will definitely ask them to take care of Guilligan again.”

“Hurley felt right at home with Pamela and her dog. She took great care of him. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the day. She gave him all his medicine and walked him everyday. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!!! Next time I need someone I will use her again!!!!”

“Pam was absolutely fantastic—reliable, caring, and clearly enjoyed spending time with my pet. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t be more pleased!”

“Amy is the best! She was great at communicating and keeping me updated with pictures even when I didn’t ask. Rasta was such a happy boy and didn’t seem to want to leave. I cannot recommend Amy enough and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Amy!”

“Thanks for a wonderful third stay. Sandra always sends photos and takes great care of my elder dog. Madi will miss you since we are moving away! We were so thankful for the times you cared for her. Take care yourself and be well! :)”

“Erandi was a genuinely nice person from the start. She made Izzy and I feel very comfortable. The first meet was like me and Izzy have been knowing her for years. Erandi send pictures and was responsive to messages. Thank you for your services 🙏🏾”

“Joshua was fantastic with our two fur babies! He was very responsive and accommodating to our last minute booking! We received pictures and updates throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend booking with him!”

“Amazing! Cassandra was super nice and accommodating with my kitty, this was a very last minute and she went above and beyond to make sure Toshi was taken care of. Great communication!”

“I left my dog with Tiffany, this was my first time using Rover and entrusting him with someone outside of my family or a close friend. Tiffany provided the utmost comfort and care. She relieved any worries I had and continuously updated me on how Buddy is doing and what there plans are for the day. I had an emergency and she was able to flexible with time. You can tell so easily that Tiffany cares a great deal towards animals and is the sweetest soul. She seriously goes above and beyond, this is the person you want watching your animals! She was able to meet all of my needs for Buddy and so much more. Thank you for all the care and all the love you provided Buddy, Tiffany. You’re an amazing human.”

“Dawn took great care of our 2 boys at her house. She sent me updates and pictures and was very flexible when our return late night flight was delayed even later. We will definitely use her again.”

“Rachel is fantastic! We have used her service twice now for extended overnight stays and will continue to use her on a regular basis. Our Lily seems almost happier to arrive at Rachel's house than she does when we return to pick her up from being away! Needless to say, this warms our hearts. There is no greater comfort than knowing when we have to be apart from our pets that they are in good, caring hands. We highly recommend Rachel.”

“Sydney is awesome and gave T-Roy regular walks... it was like he was at the spa with constant attention. She is a pleasure to deal with and very responsive with regular updates on how T-Roy was doing with pics. Definitely 5 star!”

Gulfport pet parents share their Rover experiences
I just moved to St. Pete and am very thankful to have found Lauren so last-minute when a work trip popped up! Communication and scheduling were very easy. She asked questions about Casey's care/routinr and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I also got daily pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend Lauren and will be rebooking for sure!

Savannah was very sweet and professional. She’s been the best sitter I’ve had so far. She watched our dog for 6 days with no issues whatsoever. I would trust her anytime with our animals and will certainly use her again. Thank you Savannah for taking wonderful care of our baby and for such an easy, care free experience!

They were so nice and treated my boy like their own! I was out of the country so being so far away was nerve-racking but at the same time I was confident he was in good hands. And he was for sure. With constant updates and pictures I am able to say I really couldn’t worry even if I wanted to. Forever grateful for these two! Thank you guys so much!

Jane and Dan were absolutely amazing with our two dogs again. This is our second time using them and they honestly treat them like their own. It is such a relief to know that we can go out of town now and not have to worry. We were previously using a local big name boarding facility and had some bad experiences. The dogs are so happy at Jane and Dan's,l and it is like being at a home away from home where they get constant care, cuddles, kisses and playtime, and we get lots of updates and pictures.

Amy was amazing! She met us for an introduction on relatively short notice and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. Our dog is an old lady with a few personality quirks due to her age and she never made her out to be a burden in anyway. She fulfilled all of our expectations and made us feel comfortable that our girl was getting the same love she would at home. We will definitely be using her again!

Amy was a great sitter for our dog, Theo, while we were away on vacation! She was easy to work with, sent great photos and updates, and even bought Theo a ball that she sent him home with. He has played with that ball daily! Her dog and Theo got along well too. We will definitely consider her again for our future needs. We're happy to have found her!

Christian was such a dream with Sunny and Ember! I’ve never boarded my boys before and I was a nervous cat mom, but he was extremely patient with them and sent amazing photos and videos throughout their stay. I will absolutely keep Christian as my #1 forever and ever when I travel!

John is amazing! He took my cat Stella in last minute after having a bunch of issues at our home unexpectedly and me having to get me and all our pets out short notice, he has been more than gracious letting me extend and is such a nice person too and taking great care of her! Would leave him 10 stars if I could (and would like to thank him for all he has done accommodating all of our recent home issues and taking care of her longer than anticipated) he is the best.
