“Mariah was a lifesaver. I have the flu and couldn't physically walk my babies today. She came right over and just like that, my babies love her. I appreciate you so much!”
“Shelby is amazing!! He’s great. I needed someone to walk my dog after surgery. Shelby was dependable, trustworthy, friendly, independent, and adaptable to our routine and household. Will definitely book again. Our household didn’t miss a beat thanks to his help.”
“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”
About: I’ve had two dogs in my family, all of which I’ve helped train and bathe for most of my life! I volunteer at the Tampa Bay Humane Society just to spend time with dogs and cats who are yet to find permanent homes! I’m very active, and the neighborhood I live in is very walkable and safe. I am studying at the University of Tampa, so my time is flexible, and I’d love to take care of some pets! I’m currently a full-time student, but I’ve curated my schedule to allow for a part-time job and time to stay active. Pet care would perfectly fit into my weekly routine. I have a big park near my house where many dogs and children play, along with an unfenced backyard on a non-busy street. I will be able to spend loads of time with your pet/s and give them lots of love. I have a few toys they can play around with, and enough room in my home for them to be comfortable.
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 12 and want a dog of my own someday. My family and friends over the years have trusted me to walk/feed/play with their dogs when they are away. I have also volunteered at animal shelters in TN to tend to dogs in need and to give them love while they wait for their forever home. As far as cats go I was raised around cats and have a cat of my own. I’m currently working a full time job but with open weekends when I’m not traveling myself! Tuesday-Thursday I can do dog walks in the early morning or evening. On Mondays and Fridays I can check in whenever needed. On the weekends I am available whenever you need me. When all else fails just message me and we can work something out my work is flexible:) I love to play with animals or just hangout/chill with them based on their personality and your preference. I’m respectful of their space and play within their rules whether that’s fetch, tug of war, or with their feather cat toy etc. making sure they are comfortable and safe while their best friend is away.
“Sophia is the best! She was so accommodating to my last minute request and showed up exactly on time. She took the best care of my sweet boy and was so patient with him! Sophia also took the time to take pictures/ videos and gave me a detailed update of how my dog was doing! I would definitely recommend her and look forward booking with her again in the future!”
“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!!😊🐾”
“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”

About: I can take care of your pup mid day if you are stuck in the office or at work! As someone who lives a very active lifestyle, I love walking and hanging with dogs of all kinds!

Historic Ybor dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelsey was truly amazing! I hired her last minute after my previous walker moved, and she was incredibly accommodating, which meant so much since my dog is a newly adopted rescue. She was always on time, very responsive, and kept me at ease with her detailed report cards after each walk. It was clear that she treated Honey like her own dog and genuinely cared about her comfort and happiness. I’m so grateful to have found Kelsey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker.
Woof! Hi, it’s me, Lucy. I am using my hooman’s phonr (don’t ask how) because I simply must leave a review for my Rover sitter, Jenna. First of all, when my hooman left, I thought “oh no…”. But the Jenna walked in, smelled like treats, sunshine, and someone who definitely knows how to scratch behind my ears properly. Jenna walked me and even threw the ball for me at the park! I even got a belly rub when we got back. Now that is service! Can’t wait for Jenna to walk me again! A++++

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her!

One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us.
