Top rated Old West Tampa house sitters
“Mariah was absolutely incredible! This was my first time leaving my puppy and she sent so many updates and treated my dog Archer as if he was her own. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner and I will be using her again in the future!”
“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”
“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.”
“Jordan was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! This was my first time using rover so I was extremely nervous about going away for a week and leaving my pup. However, Jordan truly went above and beyond!! She’s extremely thorough, organized, and was the PERFECT sitter for my pup! My dog was a bit skeptical at first, however, Jordan was very patient with my dog and in less than 24 hours my dog felt comfortable and safe with her! She sent me pictures/videos/updates daily and my dog looked SO HAPPY!! (Which made my worries quickly go away!) Jordan is truly amazing and I can’t say enough great things about her! My pup and I got extremely lucky to have her pet sit and I would 100 % use her again! Thank you so much Jordan!!!”
“Haley took care of our pets and we appreciated all the photos while we were away. It allowed us to feel at ease knowing they were ok and she was able to spend some time with them, especially our pup who cannot be left out of the cage when alone.”
“Katherine was the BEST! She house sat Wiley, my 2 year old pit bull, for several days while I was away. She kept me updated with texts and photos of Wiley. Katherine took Wiley on hikes and several park play sessions throughout each day. When I arrived home, the house was just as we left it and Wiley was a very happy pup. I highly recommend Katherine's services. She is wonderful!”
“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”
“I know that my girls are happy that I am home. However I swear they keep running to the door looking for Rebecca. This makes me very happy. All 6 of our "kids" are happy and were well cared for. We have officially adopted Rebecca. So happy we tried Rover and found her!”
About: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Amy was great! We were only gone one night but she provided a text message update with photo and left a detailed note about her visit. Felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her.”
“Ronnie went over and above! I can only recommend him highly! He was flexible with my schedule and loved my babies like they were his own! I will definitely be booking again! I’ve had multiple sisters and none of them made my dogs and cats as happy! He sent pictures and was immediate in communicating with me!”
“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”
About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.
“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”
“Riley was the best! She was able to work with me last minute and was the sweetest with Charlie. She checked in with me throughout the whole visit and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup. I will definitely use Riley again!”
