“Melanie was wonderful! We needed help last minute with our sheepadoodle, Jackson. She came over for a meet and greet and sat for us a few days later. We got plenty of updates while we were gone. We will definitely book again!”
“Maggie was s huge help for us and our pups felt very comfortable and happy with her overnight at our house. She was in constant communication with us and sent photos and videos and updates throughout the service. She was comfortable providing medication to one of our dogs as well. We will definitely be asking for help in the future!”
“Excited to have him stay with Xavier again! Xavier warmed up to him really quickly and I could tell he had a lot of fun. I appreciated the quick responses and pictures”
“Aliyah is a pleasure and appreciate her animal magic and proactive sitting service. Timely and responsive communication is definitely a welcome surprise. Strongly recommend.”
“Cole was great with all of our pets, and we have a full house! We have 3 cats and 3 dogs. One of our cats is 17 years old, needed oral medication twice per day so it’s a big ask for a sitter to do every day. Cole was able to give her the medication without issue! Our pets loved him and it really helped us feel at ease being able to vacation with family, knowing that our pets were being taken care of.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve watched playful puppies, easygoing adults, and sweet senior pets who just need a little extra care. I can stick to feeding routines, give potty breaks as often as needed, go on walks, play, and of course give them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own while you’re away! ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have open availability, so I’m able to make caring for pets a priority throughout my day. I enjoy structuring my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well‑cared for every single day. I like to care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with a lot of love, patience, and attention. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible, like feeding times, walks, and any little habits your pet is used to. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our dog for several days while we were out of state. She provided frequent updates and communicated very well with us. We will absolutely be using her again!!”
“Marla provided wonderful care for our two dogs. One of them had a paw injury and was prescribed additional medication and Marla was able to give it without issues. She communicated constantly with us and stuck to the schedule provided. She also helped us bring our packages in the house without even asking her to do so. She sent pictures and updates constantly as well. Thanks again Marla!”
“We booked with Carlo for our first experience using Rover. I was honestly blown away by his attention to detail and constant communication with us the entire weekend. Carlo came by to meet Millie beforehand and she was instantly comfortable around him. It’s clear he loves dogs :) I asked if he could send updates throughout the day and he delivered! I got a lot of photos and videos and felt comfortable knowing Millie was being cared for and in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
“Amazing! Amazing! My 2 boys loved being taken care of Ivette. She stayed in our home for a week and everything went perfect. Definitely highly recommend and will be requesting Ivette in the future when we travel.”
“Vonna took care of my Minnie with love and lots of attention! She kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent photos every day of my baby 🥰 I will definitely use her again.”
“As always, Brandy takes great care of our beagle, Maggie. She communicates well with us regarding her care, and follows all of our written instructions. She watches Maggie in our home & is always on time for her scheduled sitting, and I can trust her in our home. I look forward to using Brandy in the future for more dog sitting dates.”
About: I have worked in a class 1 setting with a variety of species as a Zoological specialist. I have experience providing habitat/enclosure care, enrichment, medications and a variety of other treatments for many species. I am available most days 7 am - 9 pm, including weekends based on my schedule. For times outside my normal availability please contact me to see if a compromise can be found. I provide my pets with a healthy diet, enrichment and daily experiences to ensure they are living healthy active and fullfilling lives. I believe it is important to give animals a schedule and routine to help with their daily health.
“I can't say enough great things about Kyle as a sitter! From the moment I met him, I could tell he has a genuine love for animals. He really took the time to get to know my cat Ryuu and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. During my time away, Kyle sent tons of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease and showed me how good of a time my Ryuu was having with him and Jax. He even went above and beyond when it came to being accommodating about changes to travel plans and extending Ryuu’s stay. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable pet sitter. He truly loves what he does, and it shows in every interaction. 5 stars all the way (If i could give him 6 stars I would 😂)”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own for the last 14 years. Walking, feeding, and playing is a part of my daily routine. I have some experience with senior dogs who need pills, eye drops, or ear drops. I’m currently working part time so there will be plenty of time to walk, feeding, or play with your dogs. Most availability time will be in the afternoons. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Safety is key with our four legged friends so if they need to be crated or have specific instructions for walking, I will ensure they will be followed.
About: I've been around all ages of dogs. I have had puppies up to older dogs that I've taken care of. I'm ready for anything :) It fits in perfectly. I'm able to help and assist you with all needs. If you have questions please let me know so I can answer them. I can care for dogs. I have a rescue pup named Brutus. I have areas around my community that I can walk dogs if they are in my home.
About: I have been around animals of all kinds my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles and more. I have cared for dogs of my own, for relatives, and for neighbors. Your pet is in good hands! My boyfriend and I are new to the Tampa area. Since I am looking for full time employment, I have lots of free time to give to you and your pets. At this time I cannot provide care out of my home. However, I am eager to provide care in whatever environment you have for your pets.

Sebastian A.
“I’ve known Sebastian about 7 years, and in that time they have been one of the most kind and considerate pet owners I’ve ever met. His dog Cici has been well taken care of, with multiple walks a day and a carefully considered diet. Sebastian has also taken care of a senior cat who required special treatment and care. This cat lived several years with multiple health complications to ripe old age, I believe this was in large part to his exceptional care as a pet owner. I have full faith that Sebastian, with his love for all animals, is exceptionally capable at providing considerate, and professional care of others animals.”

Katie did a fantastic job with my two dogs. I have an older guy who gets very anxious when I leave and a very energetic puppy and she was able to keep them calm and happy while I was traveling. I would highly recommend Katie and will continue to have her take care of my 🐶 kids!!
We used Rover for the first time and had a great experience with Alexandra! She approved our request to watch our pup, Sage, so we could enjoy a family beach day with peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the day and even sent pictures and videos of Sage, which we really appreciated. Alexandra also took the time to organize Sage’s things, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear that Sage was in great hands. Highly recommend Alexandra and would definitely book with her again!
My dogs are definitely substitutes for my children who have grown up and moved away. I spoil my dogs terribly and my house is basically set up just for their comfort. I needed someone to watch them in their own home where they are happy. Jana was wonderful with them. When I got home the dogs were much happier and calmer than they are when I take them to my mother's to watch them. I'll be asking Jana to watch my dogs whenever I'm out of town!
