About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teen, whether it was my own, my friends, or extended family, I’ve been everyones go to girl. I’ve loved animals since I could talk and will do my best to make sure your babies feel loved and have all their needs met. I’m currently free most days just make sure to reach out a few days in advance so I can make sure to fit you in! I will make sure to provide a caring and safe environment for all animals whenever I'm present. No animal or pet parent should ever feel afraid or uneasy leaving their pet in my care.
“Bethany is great to work with! She was very attentive to our animals needs and seemed to get along really well with them! We’d love to have her as a sitter in the future.”

“Katie did a great job caring for my cat and truly went above and beyond during her drop-in visit. I really appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. Would absolutely recommend her.”


“Natalie was amazing with my dog Ralo! He was so happy to see her, and she gave him so much love and attention during their visit. She stayed the full hour, sent plenty of updates, and even took him for a walk. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Summer was great! She followed all the instructions we left for her and was a great friend to our dog and cat. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care while we were out of town!”

“Jordan has done an outstanding job caring for our dog. She consistently arrives early for her scheduled visits and often stays longer than planned. I've even noticed my dog sitting by the door, eagerly waiting for her to arrive, which shows just how much he enjoys his time with her.”

“Amanda was amazing! She gave our dog such good care and sent us plenty of photos and updates on everything they did. She went above and beyond taking our dog for walks and letting her get lots of sniffs out and about!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and have had special bonds with dogs for as long as I can remember, whether it be from growing up in a house full of three dogs or having neighbors rely on me to take care of their dogs! I love making sure dogs are happy and feel safe, taking them on walks, and spending free time playing with them. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I am currently available every morning until 8:30am and then every evening after 7:15pm. I have full availability on Sundays, and then full availability every other Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday! Although I only live in an apartment, I live in a very walkable area with two dog parks down the street from me! I like to make sure dogs keep their routine!
About: Caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. I love spending time with animals, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block, playing fetch at the park, or giving them plenty of pets/belly rubs at home. Growing up with dogs, and gaining experience with a variety of dogs (&cats!) since then, has made me confident and attentive in providing personalized care. I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm off. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands.
“I’ve been using rover for a few years now and Johnny is the absolute best I’ve ever worked with. So kind, responsive, and just overall great with my pups. Wish I could give 10 stars.”


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
“Excellent experience with Amanda. Timely in responses, communicative about her visits with our cat, and provided plenty of photos and updates through the trip. Very good service and is an instant re-book for us when we have future trips. :)”


About: I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was young and have spent the past few years fostering and caring for dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered with the Young-Williams Animal Center, helping dogs find safe, loving homes. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own—whether that means structured walks, playtime, or just a calm environment to relax. I’m very active and happy to take high-energy dogs on runs or long walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I work a full time job but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work on my own time. This gives me the flexibility to meet your needs. Sunday: Anytime Monday: Anytime Tuesday: Anytime Wednesday: Anytime before 6pm Thursday: Anytime before 6pm Friday: Anytime before 6pm Saturday: Anytime before 6pm When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or runs for higher-energy dogs. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, maintaining their routine, and giving them attention based on their personality. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Cleanliness, safety, and making your pet feel comfortable are my top priorities.
“Tyler was great checking in on my puppy! I am confident that my dog is in good hands and being cared for with updates, quick communication, and cute photos!! Definitely recommend!”

Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.

Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
