“Iliana has walked Honey multiple times. She’s wonderful with her. She is overly communicative, trustworthy, sweet to Honey, and always willing to help with whatever. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I've been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill and earned my veterinarian medical technician degree. I specialize in senior dogs needing special care, food and medication. I'm known for my behavior training of difficult puppies and dogs. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. Pet sitting is my full time job. My daily and weekly routines revolves around the dogs in my care. I never leave them alone more than 2hrs at a time and I only do that for doctors appointments. My dog Porkchop is a medical service animal and goes everywhere I go, except when I sit at someone else's house. I have a large fenced in backyard and I have a small service dog to keep your baby company. Your babies will be allowed on the furniture and the bed unless you don't want them too. I don't use kennels unless you want me to and you will have to provide the kennel. Your babies will have full access to my entire house. If I sit in your home I go by all of your rules for your baby. On drop in visits I will feed your pet and walk them as well as give plenty of love and play time. For walking visits I will give your baby a twenty minute walk and give them fresh water and a treat or two if they are allowed to have them.
About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.
“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my own pets, family, and friends for around 6 years. I will take care of your animals like they’re my own! I have experience with all types of pets, big and small dog, puppies and kitties. I have volunteered at the Dumb Friends Leauge for over 6 months and have plenty of experience with animals! I am currently a student at the University of Tampa. I am available for house sitting, and I am available most days during the week! I will ensure the safety of your pet by making sure they are hydrated and fed, kept in a cool and safe environment. Use a leash when necessary and provide them with comfort and play time.
About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress-free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾”
“Summer is the absolute best. She was such a god send for us when moving to Tampa and finding someone to take care of our boy, Louie. Super reliable, communicative, responsive. Just the absolute best. Can’t recommend her enough for your pet care needs!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 and have been both dog and cat sitter in the past. I have cats personally but looking forward for long walks with puppies when I can! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule. I can take pets for walks or just come spend quality time with your loved one I live in an apartment with cats of my own, so I will not be able to board pets. I am able to go check in as much as needed
“Sophia was amazing with my dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. If I ever need to hire another dog walker again she’s the first person I’m asking.”
About: Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my entire life - and I wouldn’t have it any other way! What started as a childhood love for saying “doggie” has blossomed into genuine expertise in canine care and training. I specialize in positive reinforcement training for both energetic puppies learning their first lessons and wise senior dogs who deserve patient, understanding care. Working from home means I’m always available to give your furry family member the attention and love they deserve. Your dog will have an instant playmate in my 3-year-old labradoodle, Rory, who’s always ready for a game of fetch or a friendly romp. Our spacious, securely fenced backyard provides the perfect safe haven for outdoor adventures, zoomies, and sunny afternoon naps. When you choose me, you’re not just getting a pet sitter - you’re gaining a passionate dog advocate who treats every pup like family. I understand that leaving your beloved companion requires complete trust, and I’m honored to provide that peace of mind while you’re away. I work remote so I’ll be available to walk the dogs as much as needed. I walk Rory at least 3 miles daily so there will be plenty of exercise I have a pet friendly home and a huge fenced in back yard for the dogs to play and roam whenever they want to! Rory loves company.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. I worked as a kennel assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, bathing, and monitoring the health of multiple dogs at once. Outside of work, neighbors, friends, and family have regularly relied on me to care for their pets. I’m experienced with high-energy puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. I am a recent UF graduate and I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins on weekdays. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pet the attention they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a secure courtyard and a dog park just steps away—perfect for safe play and exercise. I can stick to any routine you provide, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities when pets are in my care.
“Shawn is excellent! She takes the time needed to make sure your pet has had a nice break from his/her crate. My fur baby stopped having accidents in his crate because of her consistency and time with him!”
“Mariana was a wonderful dog walker for my little baby. I appreciated her updates of how my puppy was doing on each of the days. She is very kind and calm, and judging by the photos I received my little Astro enjoyed her company.”
“Katie walked my 70lb mixed breed dog while I was at work, and she was great! Super communicative and was very understanding about the fact that he doesn’t like other dogs. She also put his new shoes on before the walk without any issues haha. I’d definitely recommend her!”

Highland Pines dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits
Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!
We had a really positive experience with Amanda walking our dog Jaxon. She was punctual, attentive, and kept us in the loop, which we appreciated while we were out of town. Jaxon loves his walks and came back tired in the best way. We’d gladly book with her again!
Mel is incredibly kind, responsible, and someone I feel very comfortable having around Georgia. Georgia absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her, which says a lot. Mel has such a calm, warm presence and is very attentive and communicative. I feel totally at ease having her care for Georgia and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful pet care!
