About: I’m able to take care of any type of dog and have watched dogs of all ages. I also am able to get dogs to listen to me well with commands. I’m currently a full-time student but I would love to watch your pets on the weekends or on weeknights. I often have free time that can be spent hanging with pups! I have a fenced in area and hardwood floors in my apartment. I also am able to travel to different areas in Tampa to walk or check in on your pups.
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.
“Excellent experience with Amanda. Timely in responses, communicative about her visits with our cat, and provided plenty of photos and updates through the trip. Very good service and is an instant re-book for us when we have future trips. :)”
“Caroline took care of my 2 cats while I was on vacation. One is diabetic & requires 2 insulin injections daily. She did a spectacular job! She is very friendly & reliable & I highly recommend her services! Thank you, Caroline!”
About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.
“Savannah is an excellent dog sitter very attentive and makes herself accessible for your Pet’s needs. Always feel safe leaving my furry children in her hands!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and currently have two kitties. I am very knowledgeable about both cat and dog behavior, and warning signs for various health issues. I know how hard it can be to not be with your baby 24/7! So you can count on me to provide engaging and attentive care for your pet 🥰 I work at a school, so I am available after school hours (typically after 4:30) and on weekends. I don’t typically travel so I am usually available anytime! I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own! I am very knowledgeable about pet health and behavior, and I love to spoil with lots of playtime and snuggles.
“Carly did a great job looking after my cat while I was traveling. She was nice enough to come over ahead of my trip to go over the feeding routine at my house, I'd definitely recommend her!”
About: I never grew up with a dog (after many years of pleading and begging to my parents) so I've treated everyone else's fur baby as my own. From small to large dogs, I've not met one that I haven't liked. I've dog sat for friends and family over the years and want to give my care to yours too. I look forward to getting to know your beloved four legged family member and give them exercise, attention, and energy. I'm currently in a position where I have most of my day available to do dog walks, pop in visits and/or host them for large portions of the day. I care for pets as best as I can the way you care for them. I always make sure to set expectations in the beginning what are off limits (dog parks, foods, other dogs, etc) and the routine you have them on. Like humans, dogs are conditioned based on their owners to have a set routine.
“This was my first time using Rover and Susy took great care of my cat while I was gone. He has never been left alone before and I didn’t want to go through the traumatic event of boarding him. He got to stay in the comfort of his own home the whole time:) I received plenty of pics/videos and updates so I knew he was doing okay. I would absolutely do this 100 times over again! It costs the same, if not cheaper, than boarding and it was overall better for his well-being to be in his happy/safe place.”
About: My whole life I’ve grown up sharing a household with multiple dogs and cats of all sizes. When I wasn’t busy caring for them, I was helping my friends and family friends with their pets when they were away as a method of earning money in my youth. I’ve always had much affection towards animals, and I see it as a privilege to contribute to their health and well-being. I am currently a full-time student at the University of South Florida, with all the extra time I have I wouldn't spend it any other way than with animals! The only times I am busy during Mondays/Wednesdays is from 11:00 pm to 12:30 pm. As for Tuesdays/Thursdays, I am busy from 8:00 am to 9:30 am, and 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm. Fridays I am only busy 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm, and the rest of the week I have no schooling. I have a dog and a cat that I care for daily. I walk my dog three times a day and make sure she is well fed, hydrated, and energized. My cat gets play time every day and has an abundance of toys to choose from. They are my pride and joy, and I would love to care for many more in the future. When there are animals in my home, they become my top priority. They are tended to accordingly and their health is what is most important to me.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household full of pets from dogs, birds, and even a flying squirrel!! Caring for animals comes second nature to me. I currently have a big baby (Mastiff) who I absolutely adore. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just a good cuddle session, I will make sure your animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I look forward to meeting your fur babies, feel free to reach out and ask any questions :) I work fully remote, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. From morning walks to midday play sessions and evening cuddles, your pet will be part of my daily routine getting plenty of love and interaction!! When your pet is in my care, their happiness, health, and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly space where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I treat every animal as family offering structure, affection, and a peaceful environment tailored to their needs and personality. I know how important it is to stay connected when you're away, so I’ll keep make sure to send updates with photos, and messages!! You’ll always know how they’re doing and can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re happy :)

Timothy L.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my Cockapoo, Charlie Bravo, in Tim’s care—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Tim was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Charlie took to him right away, which immediately put me at ease. Tim kept me updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which made it so much easier to be away. It was clear that Charlie wasn’t just being watched—he was being genuinely cared for and loved. When I picked Charlie up, he was happy, relaxed, and had clearly had a great time. Tim truly went above and beyond, and I felt completely confident knowing Charlie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Mariah has taken care of my 85-pound Old English Bulldog many times over the past three years—everything from weekend overnights to weekday walks—and she’s been amazing every time. She treats dogs like they’re her own, with so much love and attention, and she’s strong enough to handle my big pup with no problem. I always come home to a clean and tidy house, which really shows how respectful and reliable she is when staying over. I’d trust her with my dog again and again without a doubt.”

“Meg has pet sat for me on several occasions. She has always been polite and considerate in our home. More importantly, she has always shown our pets tremendous love and treats them like they are her own. She is our go to pet sitter as our pets have formed their own bond with her. We can’t recommend her enough.”

Dorian H.
“Dorian has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog, Wiggles! He’s not only reliable and punctual, but you can tell he genuinely loves and understands dogs. Wiggles lights up the second Dorian arrives and always comes back from walks happy, well-exercised, and tail-wagging. Dorian takes the time to make sure Wiggles gets plenty of play, fresh air, and even a little extra love. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in such caring hands—he treats her like she’s his own. I couldn’t recommend him more as a professional dog walker!”

Palmetto Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two cats — one is playful and social, the other is very shy — and she handled both of them with so much patience and kindness. She kept everything tidy, cleaned up even unexpected little messes, and always left us detailed updates with photos that made us feel at ease while we were away. It was our first time using Rover, and thanks to Amanda we felt completely comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Summer was absolutely the best! She is very responsive, attentive, and caring. I felt extremely comfortable knowing my boys are under her supervision. She took great care of the animals, and their environment. I couldn’t be more happier and will be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!
Emrick took such good care of our cats while we were away! They are relatively new additions to the household and this was the first time we were going to be gone for an extended period. We were also new to Rover and she took the time to explain how it works, what her process is, and what to expect. Everything was perfect! She kept the litter box tidy, the food bowls filled, and the water refreshed every day while we were gone. She even played with them to make sure they got some exercise and attention. We loved getting pictures of them after each visit! We are so glad to have found Emrick here on Rover and would book her again in a heartbeat!
Ashley did an incredible job dropping in on our two cats for a long trip! She made sure both of them were doing okay, fed them, made sure all their litter and water was okay, and spent plenty of time playing with them and sending us pictures! Even though we missed our cats while away, we were so happy to know that they were in great hands. I would highly recommend Ashley for drop in cat services!
Amanda was great! She gave our little Beasty Boy lots of love. She was very responsive and shared lots of photos so that we could feel comfortable knowing he was well taken care of while we were away. I definitely recommend her, and look forward to using her again!
