About: I’ve been pet-sitting for about 10 years now, and I genuinely have a big passion for animals. I grew up around both small and large dogs, so I’ve been around different breeds and personalities my whole life and really understand their different needs. I’m reliable, accountable, and really focused on giving every pet loving, attentive care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medications, washing dogs, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I’m always happy to help. I take time to understand each pet and what makes them comfortable so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also respect people’s homes and don’t mind helping keep things tidy while I’m there, whether that’s cleaning up after pets or just helping out where needed. I really just like being helpful and making sure both pets and owners feel at ease. Flexible availability: message me for my current schedule. I’m pretty flexible and always try to make things work for both you and your pet At home I feed my pets, take them on walks, and make sure they always have fresh food and water. I clean up after them daily, including any messes or accidents, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I bathe them about once or twice a month when needed and handle basic grooming and hygiene. Two of my girl dogs still go into heat sometimes, so I’m used to managing that and keeping everything clean and properly taken care of. I just stay on top of their routine and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable like they’re my own.
About: With years of dedicated pet care experience for friends and family, I provide a fun, warm, and nurturing space for your beloved companions. From playful puppies to senior pets, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each animal. My services include attentive feeding, engaging playtime, regular exercise, and meticulous health monitoring, ensuring your pet's well-being and happiness. I strive to deliver the highest standard of care, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Having had two dogs of my own, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge, I empathize with individuals and the stress and angst that come along when searching for the right pet sitter, especially during my time as a traveling nurse. Whether you're looking for a quick pop-in visit, regular walks/exercise, or house-sitting, I'm here to support you and your pet's needs. Your pet's comfort and joy are my top priorities, making every visit a PAWsitive and enriching experience. I currently work as an admissions nurse for hospice while I continue to grow my business. I am available every day of the week for drop-in visits, walking pets, and house-sitting. I do not offer pet-sitting in my home, however I am available for pet-sitting within your home and will give reverence to you and your pet's needs.

“Taylor did an amazing job with our kitties while we are out of state. She came in and fed our kitties, scooped the litter boxes, and dedicated the full 30 minutes giving our cats her full attention and made them feel more comfortable. She’s awesome, will definitely be our first choice when going out of state again!”

“Great experience with Emma ! She was on time, reliable, and took great care of our two dogs and cat. She was even able to get our usually anxious dog comfortable enough to go outside, which meant a lot to us. Thank you”

About: I have worked with cats and dogs for many years. I have trained my own dog who is very well tempered and I have administered different types of medicines to older and younger animals! I have a very open schedule as a college student and love spending time with animals! I love going on walks and being outdoors, weather doesn’t matter to me! I live in a nice neighborhood with a dog park walking distance away, and I have no other animals so that yours can be the center of attention!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, bearded dragons, snakes, and just about every quirky pet a friend has trusted me with. I even interned at a veterinary office back in high school, which gave me early hands‑on experience with animal behavior and basic care. I provide individualized attention, plenty of playtime and cuddles, regular walkies for the pups, feeding, and medication administration when needed. As a naturally detail‑oriented person, I follow your care instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent and comforting. Your pet will be in safe, attentive, loving hands every step of the way. 🏡 Boarding Routine For boarding, I match your pet’s normal schedule—feeding times, walk times, medication, bedtime routines, and any special habits they rely on. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of companionship, playtime, and supervision. 🐾 Walkies & Drop-Ins During the week, I'm available for morning and evening walkies & drop-ins. On weekends, my schedule is fully flexible to match your needs. I keep a calm, low‑stress home with plenty of soft, cozy spots for pets to relax. I can separate pets for feeding if that’s part of their routine. The lawn is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on‑leash to keep everyone safe. I make sure pets always have a calm, safe space to relax. Their comfort and safety come first. For Walkies & Drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets attention, potty breaks/walks, fresh water, and anything else they need to stay comfortable until you’re home.
About: Hi - I'm Madeline! I'm an experienced pet sitter in the Tampa Bay area and I would love to care for your family. As a pet mom myself, I understand the importance of having responsible, patient, and loving care for your pets when you have to be away from them. I have more than a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats (and even an opossum!) in their own home. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide variety of needs. Do you have a diabetic dog who requires shots? I can handle that. Is your cat a serial puker who requires a special diet? Mine too. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have open availability for drop-in visits and overnight sitting. I have several established clients, but those visits are scheduled in advance and are often easily managed alongside new bookings. Because I have cats of my own, I care for pets in their own homes. Rest assured, mine are cared for when I'm away, so I can focus solely on your pet and their needs. For overnight/house sitting bookings, I require a "Get to Know You" visit in your home at least 48 hours prior to the start of your first booking to ensure that we're a good fit for each other.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lutz
Rachel has been a true blessing whenever we need a sitter for our German Shepherds. She is comfortable with this breed and larger dogs, which puts us - as well as our dogs - at ease in our absence! Rachel is our first contact when we need a sitter, as she’s extremely professional, very responsive, and leaves wonderful notes/photos!

Juliana provided wonderful care to my three fur babies while I traveled out of town. Within minutes, all pets felt comfortable enough to seek attention and stand next to her. I received pictures and communication throughout the entire booking. I highly recommend!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lutz choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
