“Sue saved the day! I needed a last minute check in for my pup and a neighbors pup after some travel issues and Sue was able to help. She is always so responsive and reliable. Thank you so much!!!”

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. You can count on me to walk, feed, and bathe your pets while keeping them safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of my family. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but have the flexibility to come and go throughout the day as needed. I’m fully available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or extended stays around my schedule! Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are in a secure environment with plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keeping routines consistent for feeding, walks, and playtime,and always give extra love and patience to help pets feel relaxed and safe while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: I have extensive experience volunteering for the humane society and have managed all types of dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from their on-site behavioral specialist and feel comfortable with most dogs. Let’s schedule a meet and greet! Flexible! I’m available most days and keep my schedule updated. I can take care of your pets during the day, night, or weekend. Message me! Your pet has all of my attention! When I’m caring for your fur baby, I make myself available to take them out for frequent walks/potty breaks and make sure they have everything they need at all times.
“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages, I provide personalized care that meets each pet's unique needs. For Dogs: I'm passionate about long, engaging walks and active play that help your pup expend energy and stay physically and mentally stimulated. Whether working on training basics or simply providing adventure, I ensure every outing is both fun and fulfilling. For Cats: I create calm, nurturing environments where felines feel secure yet encouraged to explore. I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I am available on weekends and have flexibility with work since I work remotely for several days throughout the work week. Additionally, I am a morning person so I can take dogs for sunrise walks if needed. Your pet's safety and well-being are non-negotiable priorities in every aspect of care I provide. In Your Home: I maintain your pet's established routines, keep your home secure, and stay vigilant about potential hazards. I provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you're away. On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.
“Needed last minute help when I had someone cancel on watching my pup. Was super responsive and made it so easy! Second time working with Shelby and would recommend to anyone”


About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.
“Matt was amazing as he went above and beyond walking our dog sailor, he is kind, compassionate , caring and sent me updates and photos of their long walks. Thank you Matt as we feel extremely fortunate to have found you !”

“Danielle did a fantastic job with Luna. She was timely, great with communication, and provided a lot of photos throughout their walk. She was very friendly and someone would I would definitely use again in the future! Would highly recommend!!”

“Benjamin is awesome! He is reliable, communicative, and, most importantly, great with animals! I know my dog Grizzly looks forward to hanging out with him everyday!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, & have owned my own for 20 years. When I got married I took in my parents 2 older yorkies & purchased our own. During the last 20 years, I've raised a total of 6 generations of Yorkies. As my Yorkies have gotten older, we’re eyeing to get a bigger dog soon & looking to get used to walking bigger babies. So we’re both going to be walking each other while having fun too! I also love pictures, so if you request them, I will be more than happy to send pics & videos during their walks. Any questions, just ask! I am a stay at home dog mom, so I am always home, unless I need to run an errand, then my husband will be here. Since I have my own set of dogs, it’s something I already do & would love to take care of other dogs/ cats as passive income. I have a fenced yard & my own pack of dogs. They are never left unattended or outside for more than 5-10 mins. While doing their business or getting their Vitamin D in for the day. We do prefer pets that are able to be crated at night. Please be prepared to bring a crate for your baby. We also do require that your baby have records of shots. This can be discussed in further detail via phone call.
About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.

About: Hi! My name is Jolie and I’m a student at the University of Tampa studying law. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three at home: a teacup Yorkie, a goldendoodle, and a wheaten terrier mix. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve honestly begged my parents for just about every animal under the sun growing up. Right now I help take care of my teacup Yorkie, so I’m very used to giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I love being active, working out, and going on long walks, but I also understand that every dog is different. My Yorkie isn’t the biggest fan of long walks, so I’m very used to adapting to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’ve also been around dogs with different temperaments, including more nervous or aggressive dogs, so I’m patient and know how to stay calm and handle situations carefully. I truly love animals and will treat your dog like my own while you’re away! I’m currently a college student and I’m off for the summer, so I have a lot of flexibility and time to focus on pet care. I love being active and going on walks, so taking dogs out and spending time with them fits really well into my routine. I’m available most days and can easily adjust my schedule depending on what your dog needs, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m mainly looking to do dog walking and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’m responsible and will follow whatever routine your dog is used to, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I do have a dog of my own, so if I’m house sitting I may need to step away occasionally to check on her, but I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need.
“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾”

About: I have experience caring for both small and large dogs through caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends while they travel. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, providing companionship, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important trust and attention are when it comes to pet care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I dedicate my Fridays through Sundays fully to caring for pets and giving them the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, pay attention during walks, use safe leash and collar handling, and create a calm, caring environment while they’re in my care. I also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“Johnny is the best! He treats our dogs like his own and is communicative, trustworthy, and kind. He is a pleasure to work with. We are so glad we found him to do drop ins for us, and cannot recommend him enough!”

Oakford Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!

Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits

When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away. Nena definitely has a new friend in Andrea!

Alejandro was amazing! He gave us so many updates and was amazing at communicating while taking care of our dog. He offered to come by to do a meet and greet and was super nice. We will definitely be booking with him again! An angel to work with & our dog seems to love him too! Thank you, Alejandro!

Valerie was wonderful! We left our 10yr old german shephard at home with a friend for 6 days. The friend spent the nights but needed to go back to St Pete to work during the day. That was when I discovered Rover and Valerie, and I'm so glad I did. Valerie was always on time, communicated well, and adjusted the activity to what my old boy needed. I highly recommend her services!
