About: Hi there! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by pups, and today I’m the proud dog dad of a joyful 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Harper 🐶💛 I'm currently offering daily dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Saturday 🗓️, and I do this full-time — which means your pup gets my full attention and flexibility. I'm available between 9am and 7pm 🕘🐕, ready to keep tails wagging and paws moving! 🐕 I treat every dog as if they were my own, with love, patience, and the utmost care ❤️🐾 Whether it’s a quick visit or a nice long stroll, your furry friend is in kind and capable hands. I offer dog walking and drop-ins full-time Monday through Saturday 🐶🗓️. I plan my day around keeping pets happy, active, and well-loved ❤️. It’s more than a job — it’s something I truly enjoy! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their specific routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, or a nice walk around the block, I make sure each visit is safe, comfortable, and filled with love. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always leave the home just as I found it. I always have my phone on me, so I am always a text or phone call away.
About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life and have helped foster kittens for the past 4 years. I have also owned Bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, chameleons and chickens! 🐾 I love nothing more than meeting animals and getting to know what makes them happiest! I will always treat your animals as my own and make sure they feel special. I have a wide variety of dog care experience big and small, old and young, high-energy and lazy. My childhood dog is now 18 mostly blind and deaf and I make accommodations so she can stay safe and still stroll around outside when she wants to. I also have puppy experience as young as 3 months and will do my best to keep them out of trouble! I start Graduate school in fall so currently have a completely free summer! I have plenty of time to give your pets the best care and attention possible 💖 I want to get to know your pet as well as possible to help keep them safe, comfortable and happy! What is their favorite walking route? How do they react to other dogs? Do they have anything they’re afraid of so we can avoid it? Do they have a favorite treat/toy? Do they enjoy high-activity or low-activity? For both drop-ins and walks I will regularly send updates and photos so you can relax and know that your baby is receiving the best possible care!
“Tina has been great with our nervous pittie :) she has great communication and always leave a detailed report card after the walks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jordan is great! This was her second time walking our sweet Penny. She took Penny on a walk and thoughtfully paused in shady spots to let her get her sniffs in during this summer heat. She refilled her food and water bowls and also sent tons of great pics! We will continue to choose Jordan for our pup walking needs.”
About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for a while now. And I really do enjoy my work. This is my first time using Rover. Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I help my partner take care of his boarding and daycare clients. I'm a big fan of dogs and cats. They love me too. I'm a former social worker. But these days I cherish the time I get to spend with my pet clients. I have lots of time to offer in this regard. Always up for a snuggle. I enjoy walking and playing with your pups. I'll treat them as if they were my own!🐶 I have a fully fenced yard. Lots of room to roam. I have lots of time to offer your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
“Thank you very much David sounds like you got a work out too, sorry about that! Apollo was very happy when I got home after a long day, I appreciate your help ?”
About: 27 with about 17 years of animal husbandry and pet care experience. I am a former dog trainer with Tip Top K9 so I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs — from large, stubborn working breeds to nervous pups who need extra patience. I also have personal experience with exotic animals, so if you have a scaley friend or a pocket pet I can care for them as well. Rover is my full time curently so I have availability every single day, including weekends and holidays and can be available at any time of the day. I've done overnight sitting as well as check ins, so I'm comfortable with either, or a combination depending on you and your pets needs. I can also care for exotic pets and plants as well.
About: I love dogs, and more importantly when it comes to all animals, I have a huge heart. Dogs especially are my favorite. You couldn't ask for a more fun-loving, loyal, and caring companion to spend your time with. I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!
About: Hello! My name is jhana and I'm a college student because of my busy schedule i cannot have a pet of my own . Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Rover, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. i truly enjoy the company of dogs and I look forward to providing you peace of mind and the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members! My availability varies but I'm mostly available on Saturdays and Tuesdays through wednesdays early mornings. Looking for to taking care of your furry love ones
About: I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away. I'm currently self employed running my own Amazon store. Since I work on my own schedule I wanted to also work part time doing something that I have tons of passion for; working with animals. I can dedicate the tailored care that your pets need since my regular job is not tied down by normal business hours. I believe leaving pets in their own home and mirroring their normal schedule helps with lessening stress and anxiety while you are away. With that said, I'm available for drop-in visits to help give you and your pets peace of mind. If you need mail & packages brought in or even a house plant or 2 watered, just let me know and I can do that for you as well.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring with animals and I’ve also volunteered at a couple of pet places. I have experience with very loud and messy dogs and can pretty much clean any mess. Im available pretty much every day and on holidays so depending on what comes up I will take the pet with me if I can depending on the circumstances and if the owner gives permission. I’d spend my time playing with them and cuddling with them as well as taking them for short walks. Sometimes I’ll offer a dog human food so if that isn’t wanted just let me know.

Noah C.
“Noah is an exceptional pet caregiver who truly stands out. As a loving and responsible pet owner himself, he brings a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. His calm, caring nature makes animals feel immediately at ease, and he’s incredibly attentive to their needs—whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or just a little extra TLC. He recently watched my dogs, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. He was so good with them—patient, kind, and totally in tune with their personalities. He took them on regular walks, made sure they were comfortable and happy, and even sent updates so I knew they were in great hands. It was clear how much he genuinely cares. Noah is highly trustworthy and dependable, always showing up on time and keeping clear, consistent communication. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Noah is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking peace of mind and top-quality care for their pet.”
Katherine C.
“Katherine is a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. She stayed at our home and watched our sweet Labrador for two weeks while we were out of the country. She listened well to our requests and gave us follow-ups while we were away. Not only was our dog happy when we returned, but our home was cleaner than we left it. I live in a tight-knit neighborhood and many neighbors said they would see her often, taking our dog on walks and keeping her happy. Katherine even took her to other neighborhoods for sniffing variety! She is a compassionate, earth-loving, being-loving, adventuresome soul to whom I completely entrust my four-legged family member. You will be begging her to come back after the first time she cares for your pet. I give her FIVE stars!”

North Tampa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan is great! This was her second time walking our sweet Penny. She took Penny on a walk and thoughtfully paused in shady spots to let her get her sniffs in during this summer heat. She refilled her food and water bowls and also sent tons of great pics! We will continue to choose Jordan for our pup walking needs.
Amanda is such a pleasure to work with! Our dog loved her from the second she walked through the door- she ran right up to her and wagged her tail- and she loved going on walks with her. We were so happy to find Amanda and would recommend her to anyone for any doggie care!
Roxana has walked Jack several times, and she’s always been great. She’s been able to help me out last minute. Jack is a strong ball of muscle and he can be reactive to other animals and loud noises, and she’s seemed to have handled him well. I’d definitely recommend her!
Daphne has been wonderful! She's been doing daily walks with our dog for a couple of weeks now and it's been great. Gemma was a bit scared at first having someone new come into the house, but Daphne was a real trooper! She worked with us (and Gemma) to get her comfortable and now our pup has no issues with Daphne taking her out for her walks. It's been an overall great experience.
If I could afford to I would hire her services daily! She is such a joy to have around my fur babies. My 11 month old is nervous and can nip at strangers and she got him to love her right away. She understands how dogs think and act and she was excellent. He had recently suffered heat exhaustion on a run my husband took him on and needed tender care as I had a pre planned trip to go on. She took excellent care of him and his companion who is a 1 y/o rescue with a ton of energy. I look forward now to many trips knowing I have someone who I can trust with my babies
