“Excellent!! Janet was terrific in communicating and helping me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby. I truly appreciate her watching my little Mia. I look forward to Mia staying with her more often. Thank you Janet!!”
“Debra and her son were wonderful with Olive. She settled in right away and was just as comfortable as she is at home. I loved getting updates throughout the day, it was clear she was having a great time. We’d happily book with them again.”
“Donna is absolutely amazing with my dog!!! She treats him like her own. I know that I don’t have to worry when he is with her. She takes him on walks, and keep me updated on his activity. Not to mention multiple pictures and videos. We love and appreciate you Donna!!!”
“My dog had an amazing day, when we picked her up she was happy and full of energy, throughout the day, Keith sent us pictures and a message of how her day was going. We are very satisfied. We'll be booking again! :)”
“Thank you Samantha and family for welcoming our 4-month-old puppy, Chewy, into your home! He was happy, well cared for, and came home tired from lots of playtime. We really appreciated the updates and feel so comfortable leaving him in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Adriana was so sweet with my senior pup, making sure he had plenty of water and outdoor time but respecting that he doesn't like to be out long in the heat. I really appreciated the regular photos and check-ins! I feel super comfortable leaving him with her.”
“First time with Brittany and we knew she would be perfect for our family. Shelby loves her, and has freedom to roam the house and yard as well as someone who plays with her as opposed to just watching. We’re very happy and have already booked a 3 day boarding as we know she’ll be in great hands when we’re out of town.”
“Buddy loved it at Trevor‘s house more than any other sitter he’s been with since we’ve been in Tampa. I think Trevor is his favorite so I will definitely be bringing him back. He took excellent care of buddy.”
“Latte always receives kind and gentle care from Desiree. Could not recommend her more!!! I always enjoy seeing him play with her own two dogs, they seem to get along great 😊”
About: I have experience in my own home caring for 3 large dogs and a Maine Coon. I’ve had my animals for about 5 years now. I also have experience caring for friends and families animals, as well as experience volunteering with the humane society. I’ve recently started pet sitting here in tampa, and I love to care for and help animals! I am available all day everyday including holidays! I can do any of my services on any date or time and I take last minute bookings depending on the service! I walk my dogs multiple times a day as well as i clean out my cats litter box twice a day to avoid any odor. I enjoy taking the animals outside to play, and I have indoor cat toys I use for my cat since she’s a runner! I also feed all the animals twice a day, and go on runs with my more active dogs as often as possible!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to express my gratitude to Giovani for taking care of our fur babies, Sky and Sunny, on such short notice! We brought them to his place, and they settled in beautifully. Giovani was welcoming and attentive, ensuring they felt at home. It was great to see them playing and enjoying their time there. I knew they were in safe hands, which eased my mind while I was away. Highly recommend Giovani for pet-sitting—he truly cares about the animals! Thank you again!”
About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of time, attention, and love to give your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I especially love caring for adult/senior dogs.🤍 I love getting to know each dog’s personality, routine, and little quirks. I’m happy to provide a calm, welcoming home where they can relax, feel at ease, and get plenty of love while you’re away. :) I’m home most of the day with my son, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I'm able to take them out for longer walks if needed, provide exercise and play, and cuddles! :) We live in a calm, pet-friendly community with plenty of grassy areas for walks and a fenced dog park. Your pup’s safety is a priority, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and levels of comfort.
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”
About: I have owned dogs since I was a little girl. I have doggie doors at my house that lead out to a large fenced back yard. I work from home and love taking dogs for small walks on my break or just sitting out back with them. We have doggie doors so they can have access any time or I can close them and keep them inside. I dog kennel my Abby when I leave the house but only because she is older and has had small accidents recently. I have doggie doors leading to a fenced in large back yard.
About: Hi, I’m Sandra! Dogs have been part of our family for more than 25 years, and we’ve always believed they deserve to be treated as family—not simply cared for as pets. I’m a retired nurse and now home full-time, which gives me the opportunity to spend my days doing something I truly love—caring for dogs. That’s how Barks and Beds Carrollwood came to be. Dogs staying with me become part of our home while they’re here. They can relax on the couch, play, cuddle, enjoy our large fully fenced backyard, and settle in just as they would at home. I’m here throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. I intentionally keep my care personal and home-based rather than creating the feel of a traditional boarding facility. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, favorite things, and what makes them feel most comfortable. After 25+ years of loving and caring for our own dogs, I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for yours. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your dog has a safe, comfortable and loving home away from home. Barks and Beds Carrollwood 🐾 Pet care is part of every minute of my day, and it truly brings me joy. I’m a retired registered nurse and now home full-time, so caring for the dogs isn’t something I have to fit around a work schedule—it’s simply part of my life. From morning routines and meals to backyard play, walks, cuddles, and quiet time, I’m here throughout the day. I genuinely love having the dogs around me, getting to know their individual personalities, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re here. I care for every dog in my home just as I care for my own dogs—as a member of the family. They share our home and our large, fully fenced yard and are included in our daily life. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their family is away. I’m home full-time, so they receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, supervision, and individual attention throughout the day. My goal is for every dog who stays with me to feel like they’re part of the family from the moment they arrive.

Whether it’s training puppies to master basic commands or offering extra care I tailor my services to meet their unique requirements. Your pet isn’t just a guest—they’re family. Expect personalized attention, reliable updates, and a commitment to your pet’s well-being. Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine, with flexible schedules to accommodate both last-minute needs and long-term plans. I prioritize pets by adjusting my day around their feeding, playtime, and exercise needs. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddles, I ensure that every pet gets the attention they deserve. For weekly routines, I offer consistency, whether it's regular visits, medication administration, or any specialized care your pet needs. My goal is to integrate pet care into my life so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands—whatever the day holds. In my home: I create a pet-friendly space that is clean, safe, and fully enclosed—no escape routes or hazards! I keep things calm and structured, with designated areas for eating, playing, and napping, all tailored to your pet’s routine. Your pet's belongings (beds, toys, etc.) are always respected, and I ensure that they feel right at home.
“Joann is AMAZING!!! I am so so very happy I left my Mia with her. As a first time mom of a fur-baby, I’m still learning. Joann has been great with easing my concerns and providing me suggestions for Mia. We had a great “meet and greet” where I got to meet her, her mom and her little beagle. The family is lovely and welcoming! Joann answered all my questions, and she was so understanding when I had to cancel due to inclement weather. When I rescheduled and she watched my little Mia, she communicated with me and kept me informed. She sent me multiple pics during the stay. I felt so comfortable leaving my Mia with her. I absolutely will continue to book with Joann. In fact I’ve already scheduled an over night stay with her. I recommend Joann all the way!! (Thank you Joann- from Mia and Tasha 😊)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeshore
Debra was awesome, especially because we needed a last minute sitter. Our pup loved playing with the others around him and Debra sent us pictures along the way. Our engagement went over the time we originally planned and Debra had no issues whatsoever. We will surely be asking her to puppy sit again in the future!
three dogs—Buddy, Lexi, and Bentley! This was the very first time I had ever left them in someone else's care, so I was naturally a little nervous. Donna made the entire experience so much easier. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable they were. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and truly loves animals. She made sure they were fed, spent time playing with them, took them outside to enjoy the backyard, and even made cozy beds for them to rest. It was obvious they were treated like part of her family. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. As soon as we got home, all three of them went straight to bed—they were completely exhausted from a fun-filled day! I can't thank Donna enough for taking such wonderful care of my babies. I would trust her with them again without hesitation, and I know Buddy, Lexi, and Bentley are already looking forward to seeing her again. I highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and loving pet sitter! I think this kind of review would really stand out on Rover because it describes not only what Donna did, but also how safe and well cared for your dogs were.
We had a great experience with Joy’ stay in Patricia’s house. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and thoughtful, and it was clear that the environment was well set up for the dogs’ comfort and safety. She was very communicative throughout the day and sent us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind as first-time daycare users. We could see that Joy was being well cared for and enjoying her time with the other dogs. We really appreciated the care, professionalism, and communication. We would definitely trust her with Joy again and would not hesitate to book with her in the future.
Thank you Samantha and family for welcoming our 4-month-old puppy, Chewy, into your home! He was happy, well cared for, and came home tired from lots of playtime. We really appreciated the updates and feel so comfortable leaving him in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lakeshore commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
