“Absolutely the best! Cash had a great time at Virginia’s and she took amazing care of him. Sent tons of photos and updates, which was super appreciated! Will definitely be requesting her again when we need a sitter.”


“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”



“Lori is amazing as always! I have a new puppy and Lori took great care of her like she has her big sister for so many years. Both my older dog and my puppy literally drag me into Lori's house because they love her and her family sooo much! It's really great! Thank you Lori! You truly are the best of the BEST! 😊”


“I left Thunder with Taylor for about a week, and she was fantastic! She kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, and he came back happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her”


“Savannah did an amazing job watching Castle today! She was attentive, caring, and clearly made Castle feel comfortable and happy. It’s such a relief to know our pup is in great hands. I came home to a calm and content dog - thank you, for your excellent care!”


“Samuel took great care of our 3 pups. He sent lots of pictures and updates to let us know everything was going great!! His dogs are so friendly and our pups had a great time playing with them. Our pups are looking forward to staying with Samuel again.”


“My boy had a blast with Danielle and her pups!!! She was super accommodating, communicative and lovey with my baby. We will definitely be regulars of hers :)”


“Matt took great care of our goldendoodle. Leo was excited to see Matt every morning for day care. Matt was very accommodating to our last minute booking. So glad we were able to connect with Matt.”



“We feel so safe and comforted leaving our Newman with Marcos and family for a couple days a week. He and his family are so loving and trustworthy! Newman is always excited to see them and comes home happy. So thankful for them being Newman's extended family.”


“I was getting my house deep cleaned and needed someone to take the dogs since my friend couldn't. Calix was super responsive when I initially reached out and was very flexible regarding my cleaners not finishing when they said they would be done. No one's fault there but I appreciate his willingness to work with me! It seems like all 3 dogs had a good day because they came home and slept til the morning! This was my first time ever using Rover or a sitter in general so I was honestly pretty nervous about leaving them for 12 hours with a "stranger" but Calix texted me throughout the day and provided me pictures which helped calm my anxiety. I don't really see myself needing a sitter on a regular basis, but if and when I do again he's going to be the first person I reach out to! Thank you Calix :)”


“Ariel is incredibly reliable, punctual, and has such a natural rapport with animals. They kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away.”


“Madisyn and her boyfriend welcomed Libby. When I picked up Libby, it looks like she was having a good time with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend and bring my dogs back.”


About: I've owned two dogs and a cat for the past 17 years. Unfortunately we're a pet free family at the moment so we're eager to fill the void while we take our time to find the right dog to add to our family. We do have a small child who will be at home some days and all nights/weekends, but she loves animals and plays very gently. Making sure you feel comfortable while you're away is something I strive for. I can guarantee a picture and status update at least daily so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands and is living it up! Last thing to note is that I am active and plan on being active with your pet. If your dog likes/needs walks, I'll make sure they get out and about and have plenty of opportunity to burn off some energy. I work from home and have limited engagements during the day, so the majority of the time I'll be here hanging out with your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got a young daughter who may also be around during the day, and will be around in the evenings and on the weekends. We live in a nice walkable neighborhood and I like to get out and walk, so I'll make sure your pet(s) have plenty of exercise and attention.

About: Hi, I’m McKay—lifelong dog-lover, proud pup parent (George, Golden Retriever, 80 lbs), and now working from home full-time. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, I create a loving, structured, and fun-filled atmosphere in my apartment home. I work from home Monday - Friday and am available for drop in visits, daycare or boarding for your fur baby. As a dog mom myself, it's easy to incorporate another pup into my day-to-day. I’ll treat your fur baby just like my own: - Constant attention and supervision while working remotely - Frequent potty breaks (every 4–8 hrs) and daily walks/playtime in safe neighborhood or fenced area - Positive reinforcement and gentle handling - Regular photo updates and open communication so you’re always in the loop

“Akshata took really good care of Bella! She sent pictures of Bella sleeping and playing and she was having fun! When I picked her up at night she was super happy. Thank you Akshatha!”


“So fortunate to have found Rachel. She has a cozy comfortable place for my two dogs. Her two cats and one dog are so sweet and friendly. I’d recommend her a hundred times.!”


About: I have been surrounded by dogs ever since I was young. I have experience with watching relatives dogs, and I take care of my dog everyday. I currently attend school and I don’t have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I will be very attentive to the animal. I also only have class for a couple of hours when I do. There is a play area for dogs because my apartment is dog friendly. The area is very safe and the dog will be taken great care of.

“Very kind. This is my first time trusting someone to watch my dog for me and Nicole helped easy my nerves from the beginning! She allowed me to introduce my dog (who is very anxious and demonstrates unsure and slightly aggressive behavior towards unknown animals) with her dog before hand to ensure both pets safety. She also messaged me different updates and pictures throughout the night. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her in a heart beat!”
