“Holly is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond and sent lots of pics and videos and updates. I didn’t worry at all with her. She won over even our most stubborn kitty, and not just fed them but also spent some time playing with them. I’d definitely recommend Holly!”
“Erica goes above and beyond to ensure the doggos are well taken care of when I was away. She was very flexible to requests made in addition to the original plans.”
“This is the second time Jorge took care of Nina. Besides being great with her, he have gone above and beyond this time. We had a problem and needed his help during the holiday to solve, and he was very kind and thoughtful helping us. Best pet sitter in town!”
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.
“We’ve used Melissa several times to take care of our three cats. She always sends photos and takes time to pet them and give them treats. We never worry about our cats when she takes care of them.”
About: “Raised in a Zoo, Walking Dogs with Love!” 🐾 Growing up, my house was lovingly called "the zoo"—we fostered animals, welcomed pets in need, and never took a vacation without making sure our furry (and feathered!) family was cared for first. I’ve shared my life with dogs, cats, birds—you name it—and caring for animals has always been second nature. From walking friends’ dogs to gifting a new pup after mine ate a pair of glasses (true story!), animals have always brought joy to my life. Whether it's a quick stroll or some extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like family. Let’s get those tails wagging! While my kids are off at school, I have plenty of time (and energy!) to drop in, play with your pets, or take them for a stroll. I treat every furry friend like family and love giving them the attention, exercise, and cuddles they deserve while you're away. I have a fenced in yard and am walking distance to our community dog park.
“My dog has had behavioral issues in the past, but Carlos did fantastic! He took it slow with Falcore at first but on day two I got a picture of them both together and Falcore looked like a happy boy! Carlos was also punctual and never missed a check in!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of animals of all ages! I have experience giving specialized medications, helping with senior animals and helping to train puppies! I give all my love to animals as if they are my own! I work 8 hours a day 5 days a week but go in late and come home at a decent time so your pets will have plenty of human contact! I am ok with animals sharing the bed with me! I spend all my time that I am not working at the house I am pet sitting at! I will be cuddling your pets as much as they let me! I also will walk till their heart is content! You never have to worry about your dog sleeping alone because I love night time cuddles! I am very big on security so I will keep the house locked up and your dog will stay by my side when on walks! When I am not working, I am home, so your pets will not be alone much!
“Daniela is amazing!!! She walked, fed, and played with Coffee. She sent me pictures while she was at my home. The best part was Coffee was tired when we got home and slept through the night, which he doesn’t usually if we been gone a while. We will definitely have her over again to watch Coffee.”
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as taking care of pets of my own for as long as I can remember. I pride myself on providing a safe, fun, exciting, loving, enrichment filled environment experience for all the animals I take care of. I am self-employed so I create my own schedule. Thankfully, this provides me with lots of open availability and an easier time changing my schedule if needed. I have two kitties of my own at home, as well as a jumping spider. I provide them with lots of enrichment, love, and care. Although I can’t bring in any other animals into my home, I have experience with pet sitting in other homes and will treat them with the utmost care and love.
About: I am very patient and loving to animals, I have had animals my whole life, and I enjoy the company and my relationships with dogs especially I am currently a student at UCF, and I have extra time and I would like to spend it with animals and meeting new people I will do my best to provide the quality care that you would show to your own dog, or I would show to mine, I am careful to respond to your pets needs
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.
“Ashton is absolutely amazing! Super flexible, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I always felt like my dogs were in great hands, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker—highly recommend!”

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.”

Rachel G.
“Rachel watched my blue Heeler puppy multiple times! She’s the only one I trusted with him. He was very energetic and of course, a nipper when he was young. She made sure to burn his energy and control his biting with his toys. She always rewarded him with tons of love and even stayed over night when we were out of town. He absolutely loves her and trusts her fully. She follows our training techniques and requests, and updated us frequently (I’m an anxious dog mom😂). I highly recommend her! She truly loves animals.”

New Tampa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brandy provided exceptional care for my two 16 year old cats. One of the cats was not eating much and losing weight before I had to leave town for a family matter. Brandy took the time to try different foods for him and even sat with him to ensure that he was eating and the other cat wasn’t eating his food. Brandy also paid great attention to whether my male cat was using the litter box and let me know her concerns. Brandy is reliable, kind, courteous and on top of her game. She truly is compassionate with each pet she is caring for and provides the best of care always. Thank you Brandy!
Carlo has been wonderful with my dog Maxwell. Max is a 7-year-old parti poodle with a lot of energy. I found Carlo after our previous walker was moving from the area. I wanted to start by highlighting the fact that he has taken care of Max for 2 years now. I love that he is focused on getting dogs exercise because Max enjoys being outdoors, so walking is great for him. Carlo responds quickly, is very flexible and treats him as his own. Whenever I've had concerns with Max, he will always inform me of how he's doing/if he ate and give me update when he gets there. We are very fortunate to have Carlo, as we both work full time, and with him we have zero worries about our fur baby.
Daniela is amazing!!! She walked, fed, and played with Coffee. She sent me pictures while she was at my home. The best part was Coffee was tired when we got home and slept through the night, which he doesn’t usually if we been gone a while. We will definitely have her over again to watch Coffee.
Toneshea dropped in on my two cats for 10 days. She did great with them, followed all my instructions, and went the extra mile to rotate some of their toys and try new things since they were alone for so long. She even got my shy cat who's warry of strangers to come out her shell and seek pets and play after a few days.
Wendi is fantastic. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries knowing that Wendi was taking care of our cats. She provided many updates throughout the booking and everything went perfect. Highly recommended. I will surely be contacting Wendi again the next time we need a sitter
