“Deanna was sooooooo awesome with Ivy. She was great and her family was awesome as well. They took very good care of my baby with my last minute booking. Thank you guys again. Can’t wait to rebook with you.”


“Cooper had a great Christmas with Brittany! He was cuddled and loved on and got plenty of time playing fetch. I got the cutest pictures every day and it made me feel so relieved knowing Cooper was safe an being loved!”

“The BEST!!!! My dog felt comfortable and happy with them as soon as he walked into their home. He looked HAPPY in every single picture. I KNOW he got the BEST care and I can’t wait for him to stay with them again. I can actually enjoy my time away because I know he’s in the best hands.”

“Margaret had a blast during her stay with Vanessa! Vanessa kept me updated with great pictures and descriptions of their days together. Additionally, very flexible with pick up time changes, alleviating a good deal of travel stress. 10 out of 10, will book again :)”

“Daniela was the best pet sitter for my 5 month old puppy! She was so responsive and sent me pictures everyday. She did everything necessary to put me at ease so I could enjoy my trip and not worry that Hallie was being taken care of. I came home to a very happy baby who wasn’t ready to leave Daniela! Will definitely book with her again for our next trip!”

“Kayla was a great communicator and you could see she cared about our dog, Amos and wanted to ensure the visit went smoothly. We met before the visit to confirm our dogs would get along. All went great and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”

“Martine and Ronald took amazing care of my dog, Dunkin, while I was on vacation. I can tell he was very loved on and cared for. Martine sent regular updates with pictures as well. I’ll definitely send him again when needed, and have already recommended them to friends. Could not have have been better! Thank you so much 💕”

“Charity took care of our dog for 2 weeks when we were on an international family trip. She was very responsive and took great care of our dog. Our dog has stayed with her before and was excited to see her and her dogs. Her dogs got along well with our dog. We would definitely have her take care of our dog again.”

“My dog seemed to really enjoy spending a couple days with Nicole. While Ellie was definitely happy to see me return it was obvious she was very comfortable with Nicole and had formed a bond with her. I would not hesitate in using Nicole again or recommending her to someone else. ”

“Jessica and Shayne and kids were great to our Lola. They sent photos, videos and updates. We had instructions for food and vitamins, they follow them to a T. They truly treated Lola like she was part of their family!!! We definitely recommend them and will have them take care of Lola again in the future. Thank you again Jessica, Shayne and kids 😊”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned dogs and cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for the past 15 years, caring for animals of all kinds and personalities. From energetic dogs to independent cats, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what each animal needs. I take pet sitting seriously and focus on making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to do walks and drop-ins during the day, morning, or at night. I also work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible care throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to board pets anytime and make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I prioritize safety, structure, and individualized care whether pets are in my home or theirs. In my apartment, pets are always supervised and kept in a calm, secure environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care instructions provided. Living in an apartment allows me to take dogs out for multiple structured walks throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and bathroom breaks.
“Chantel was very easy going and flexible. She sent me daily photos and videos. My dog loved her dog, and she will miss her buddy. My dog is a high energy beagle puppy, who loves to follow her nose and could be a runner. She came back to me safe and sound so I am happy.”

“Arden was a great sitter for Rooney. We felt very comfortable knowing Rooney was in good, safe hands the whole time. Arden sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on how Rooney was doing, including their daily walks and activities. We would absolutely recommend Arden and will definitely reach out to her again whenever we need someone we trust to watch Rooney.”

“Isabella was amazing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but she was so nice, responded to my messages and sent photos of the pup when I was gone! Would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others:)”

“This was Timpa’s second stay with Tania and once again, Timpa had an amazing time! Tania treats Timpa like she is part of the family and we can’t recommend her enough. We are so thankful for her wonderful care!”

“Grace and Kyle have been amazing with our French bull dog Aubi! My husband and are I dentists and work full time, so Aubi would go weekly to their house for daycare while we are at work. They’ve also done overnight stays for us and have been wonderful. They take care of our baby like she’s their own! And she gets lots of exercise with them so they help keep her in shape. She gets along great with Grace’s two dogs Pinto and Beans. Grace sends lots of updates and photos and is super quick and responsive on the app. Our dog is pretty high maintenance and sometimes won’t eat when we are out of town and Grace was so kind and caring she hand fed our little diva her food. I would 100% recommend Grace and her husband to anyone looking for someone to watch their furry friends :)!”

Hillsborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adam and Becca provided excellent care for our fur baby. Communication was great from start to finish. He was very clear in describing the environment in which she would be staying. We found them and their home to be very welcoming. They sent us pictures throughout her stay. They even got her a party hat for the New Year's Eve celebration.

Sarah and her husband Doug were fantastic sitters for our dog, Rooney. We had absolutely no worries during the entire week she stayed with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with, consistently responsive, and provided plenty of thoughtful updates that kept us at ease. They also really took the time to understand Rooney’s quirks and personality, which made a huge difference. It was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for in their home. Their own dog, Duke, is incredibly sweet, and they got along wonderfully. We would be very happy to use their services again and highly recommend Sarah and Doug to anyone looking for reliable, warm, and attentive sitters.

The absolute best staycation for my pups! I have a young boy and an old girl and I am THAT pet owner - the one who labels food servings for each day and each dog, the one with my own separation anxiety, the one who will send a novella about my pups needs/likes. Virgina took my crazy in stride and comforted every question or worry I had. She sent pics and videos during their stay, which was very appreciated. I never had a single doubt they were comfortable and loved. My dogs bonded with hers and made themselves right at home. They played, napped, exercised, got pets, all the fun things! Our plane home was delayed due to weather, Virgina was so accommodating and flexible with our chaos. I honestly can't thank her enough for her time, consideration, and obvious heart for pets! ❤️❤️❤️
