About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with hands on experience working in a doggy daycare and providing in-home boarding and daycare. I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, currently studying canine behavior, and working toward my dog training certification. I offer a clean, comfortable, kennel free home environment with indoor play space, a covered porch, and a large fenced backyard. Depending on each dog’s needs and compatibility, stays can include walks, supervised play, enrichment, relaxation, and plenty of individual attention. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always a priority. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to body language and interactions, and prioritize careful introductions to help ensure every dog is comfortable and safe I understand every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I prioritize safe introductions and positive interactions, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ve always had animals, so caring for them has always been a part of my everyday life. Pet care is my main focus, and since I work from home, I’m able to plan my schedule around the dogs in my care. Between my own pets and my boarding and daycare guests, I’m already used to the daily routines and responsibilities that come with caring for animals. I spend much of my day at home with the dogs and prioritize making sure their needs are met throughout their stay. I intentionally keep my boarding small, accepting a maximum of 4 dogs at a time. By limiting the number of guest dogs, I can maintain a calmer, more manageable environment and give each dog more individual attention. I also consider each dog’s personality and compatibility when determining whether a booking is a good fit. I choose to prioritize the experience I provide rather than accommodate as many dogs as possible. Keeping my availability limited means fewer boarding spots, but it allows me to dedicate more time, attention, and supervision to the dogs in my care. My rates reflect the personalized, small scale experience I strive to offer. Your dog will stay in my home, where I prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and a welcoming environment. My goal is to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their family is away. I’m home with the dogs for majority the day, which allows me to spend time with them, monitor how they’re doing, and provide attention throughout their stay. I want your dog to feel included, cared for, and comfortable rather than simply having a place to stay. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine. I take the time to learn about your dog’s needs, habits, and comfort level so I can make their stay as positive as possible. I also welcome information about feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, favorite activities, and anything else that helps me care for your dog. I’m Pet CPR and first aid certified, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Before a stay, I encourage owners to share any important information about their dog’s health, behavior, routines, and needs. Meet and greets are a great opportunity for us to get acquainted and discuss whether my home is a suitable fit for your dog. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can take some getting used to. I want owners to feel comfortable knowing how their pets are doing, and I aim to keep communication clear throughout the stay, including updates and photos. My own dog, Stormy, and my cat, Kirby, are also part of our household. I consider the comfort and compatibility of every animal in the home when accepting bookings, with the goal of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. If you’re looking for a sitter who intentionally keeps boarding small and prioritizes personalized attention, comfort, and thoughtful care, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Please note that I could have other dogs during your dogs stay, so if your pup is dog or gender selective or has any behavioral concerns or needs please keep that in mind.
“Alyssa was amazing! both my cats were taken care of so well despite their medications, issues, and all the other obstacles that kept happening during this trip. I felt at ease knowing she was there with them while i was away. I will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure our baby was well cared for and followed all our instructions exactly. I really appreciated the pics sent at each visit and the thorough notes each time. We will definitely be choosing Courtney again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
“Angelina provided great care to my diabetic senior cat while I was away. She was prompt to each visit, highly communicative and detailed in her reports! I’m so happy we found Angelina, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.
About: I grew up with pets and have always loved caring for them. I enjoy giving each one attention, love, and care, treating every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m a recent college graduate who works at a hospital and have a few days off each week to spend loving on pets, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while keeping up with their usual routines! In my home, I have a friendly golden retriever who gets along with any dog and a cat who’s used to having other pets around. I have a big yard for play, though it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised. We also live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood, so pets get plenty of safe walks and outdoor adventures. I enjoy giving pets a part-time companion while making sure everyone has their own space and feels comfortable.
About: When you’re away, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pets are being cared for — or whether your home is being looked after. I provide loving, dependable **overnight pet and house sitting in your home**, giving your pets the comfort of their normal surroundings while giving you peace of mind. I care for dogs and cats and birds of all ages and am happy to follow established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I also understand that caring for someone’s home is part of the responsibility. I can bring in mail and packages, water plants, take out trash, and maintain a lived-in presence while you’re traveling. I’m dependable, respectful of your home and routines, and I communicate throughout your stay with updates and photos. **I’m especially interested in building long-term relationships with families who want someone they can trust and call again and again. Your pets aren’t just a booking to me. They’re family. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I enjoy getting outside for walks throughout the day and can build pet care naturally into my routine. For house sitting, I’m able to provide consistent overnight care and regular daytime attention. I’m also flexible with feeding, walking, medication and other routines based on each pet’s individual needs. I’m located in Westchase and am available for in-home sitting throughout the surrounding Tampa Bay area. I treat every pet and home with the same care, respect and attention I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s established routine and the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements and access to the home. For overnight house sitting, I provide a consistent presence in the home and make pet safety my priority. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise outdoor time, and never take a pet outside of the agreed-upon areas without permission. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes, privacy and belongings. I’m happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, take out trash and handle other basic home-care requests while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that has been treated with the utmost respect.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have a soft spot for bully breeds and shelter dogs, especially. I can handle the leash pullers, people lungers, stage 5 clingers, neurotic squirrel chasers, and other quirks your pup may have! I typically only take one guest at a time, so your pet will be treated like my own during their stay. I’m happy to assist with things such as insulin shots, raw diets, medication schedules, etc. I’m quick to notice behavioral changes and medical issues, so rest assured your pet’s comfort will be my top priority! Potential negative: my place has a lot of stairs. While I do have pet gates and a support sling up to 50 lbs., my place is not ideal if your pet has mobility issues (unless they are small enough to carry). I treat your pets as I would my own. Your pet can sleep wherever they are most comfortable and no areas are off limits (unless by your preference).
About: Hi! I’ve had pets pretty much my entire life, so I know they’re not just pets, they’re family. I also know how stressful it can be leaving them with someone new and wondering how they’re doing while you’re away. One thing that’s really important to me is communication. I’ve used pet sitters before who didn’t send many updates or pictures, and I hated being left wondering if my pets were okay. I don’t want anyone to feel that way when their pet is with me! I’m more than happy to send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay or during drop-ins. I’m also pretty quick to respond and usually answer messages within 1–2 hours. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own who I love very much. I also grew up taking care of bunnies for many years, so I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and rabbits. What I offer: • Pet sitting in my home: I do ask for a meet and greet beforehand just to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. I also only accept pets from one family at a time. Even though my pets are friendly, I don’t want your pet to feel overwhelmed by having multiple unfamiliar animals staying in the home at once. -For bunnies, a meet and greet isn’t necessary since I have a spare bedroom where they can safely stay separate from my other pets. • Drop-in visits: I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and anything else your pet may need while you’re away. At the end of the day, I’ll treat your pets the way I’d want someone to treat mine. Rest assured your pet(s) will be safe, cared for, and getting lots of love! I am currently a student doing online classes so my schedule is really flexible. I have my own transportation so I can easily jump in my car and visit your pet(s) as well! All of my pets are crate trained, so at nights they will be separated and my cat is friendly but usually tends to stay in the master bedroom sunbathing at the window. All pets are welcome to watch tv on the couch ❤️

Bianca was awesome with my cat, Lucy! She spent time hanging out with her on the balcony, sent me so many cute and funny pictures, and kept me updated while I was away. It made leaving Lucy so much easier knowing she was in such good hands. I'd definitely have Bianca watch her again!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
