About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
“Sophia is truly amazing! She super nice, responsible and a true professional. Our boy Declen felt so calm with her and she kept us up to date and sent us pictures as well. Sophia respected our home as well, my wife and I repeat clients and do recommend Sophia.”
“Amy was great! She took great care of my dog and my house, and I won’t hesitate to use her again. I came home to a happy puppy and a clean house with plenty of communication in between. Thanks Amy!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From an early age, my family had dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to a French Bulldog and a Bengal cat, so I truly understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone responsible, attentive, and loving. I know every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort zones; and I respect those fully. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re away. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or just sticking closely to their routine, I tailor my care to what your pet needs most. My goal is to provide loving, consistent in-home pet care so your pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy in their normal routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to make sure pets receive consistent attention, proper care, and quality time throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and companionship, and I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible to what they’re used to. Because I’m already caring for my own dog and cat daily, adding pet sitting fits easy into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and intentional about being present, so pets in my care feel comfortable, secure, and well looked after from morning to evening. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, and care instructions closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide attentive companionship, regular potty breaks or walks, fresh food and water, litter care for cats, and plenty of affection based on each pet’s personality. I also keep an eye on behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate clearly with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m respectful of your home, dependable with schedules, and committed to providing calm, reliable, in-home care while you’re away.
“Bryson did a great job, and we will definitely book again. We have older dogs with lots of different medicines so it's always a little nerve-wracking to leave them. But we returned to happy pups and a clean place with adorable pictures to boot!”
“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week. Jesse was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”
“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.
“We can't say enough good things about Patricia! We have booked her several times now and our 3 dogs absolutely lover her. She stayed at our house and did a fantastic job caring for all the dogs especially the one with special instructions. We were pleased to see that our dog's hotspot had improved while gone reaffirming that Patricia took great care of the dogs. We received lots of photo updates while gone and the dogs appeared to be having as great of a vacation as we were. Thank you Patricia!”
“Carly provided an exceptional level of care, both of our elderly dog and our home. We didn’t have one worry while we traveled as she followed every request in a most conscientious manner. Our dog was so happy to have personalized home care from Carly, a true animal lover.”
“Devynn did an amazing job watching Darcy! I was so happy she was available again to take care of Darcy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Darcy was so loved while I was away. I got so many cute pictures and updates! She also was very mindful of my home and left everything spotless. Thank you for doing such a great job watching her!”
“Allexus was great with taking care of our dogs! She made sure that they were fed on time and that they went to the bathroom when needed! Def recommend her to house sit your pets.”

Oakford Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
April was absolutely wonderful with our Hana! This was our first time using Rover and our first time working with April, and she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized, respectful, and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs — which is especially important when you have a German Shepherd. From the start, she gave us total confidence that Hana was in the right hands. We were able to truly relax while we were away knowing April was taking such great care of our girl. We’ve already booked her again for another trip later this month — that says it all! Highly recommend!
Olivia was amazing! She house-sat for our two Goldens, Jackson and Parker, and took such great care of them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated the whole time and sent tons of pictures, which we loved. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book Olivia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter
I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.
Hope was great and took excellent care of Rocky. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and made sure he had a great time. Rocky is basically a little trash panda, but she kept a close eye on him and made sure he didn’t get into anything he shouldn’t. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again.
Christian is fantastic. He stayed with our two dogs for the first time and right away, made me feel at ease. He is quick to respond, very cooperative, polite and it’s evident he really loves animals. I would recommend Christian to anyone in need and will definitely ask him to return!
We are truly grateful to Peyton for the excellent care he provided to our two dogs. Both my husband and I felt very calm and secure during our trip, knowing they were in such good hands. Peyton was always attentive, loving, and responsible. He kept us updated regularly on how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that he is a kind, respectful person with a genuine love for animals. When we returned, our dogs were calm, not anxious or distressed, which showed us they had been well cared for. We will definitely use Peyton’s services again and highly recommend him with complete confidence.
