“Miriam is fantastic! She's friendly, responsive, and very reliable. She kept us updated with videos and pictures, and our dog had a wonderful time at her house. We could tell he was well taken care of. Thanks to Rover and all the reviews that led us to her.”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a child! We have a Pom/Shih Tzu thats loves to play with other pups. I have experience in teaching tricks, raising from a pup, and caring for animals as they get older. I work full-time at home, have a fenced in back yard, and do meal prep for my 5 Year old Shih Tzu/Pom. Capable of doing potty breaks anytime of the day, and special meal plans or medications they may need :) I have a fenced in backyard, a pup to keep yours happy, multiple walks a day, and daily updates so you know your baby is safe and happy!
“Maci was absolutely wonderful! She gave wonderful updates and asked all of the right questions to make sure it would be a smooth transition for our dog to stay with a new sitter. Wonderful communication and care!!”
“My puppy was obviously very comfortable at their home as was evident by the photos. She was snuggled and loved and cared for and that is all i could ever ask for. Thank you so much.”
“Jodi totally put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Chase being taken care of properly. I could tell he was in good hands with all of the pictures she sent daily. She walked him, played with him and loved him while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving home for their fur baby! Thank you Jodi for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Kristy and her family spoiled my dog completely! Excellent communication and daily updates with pictures and a few videos.My dog is pretty high-maintenance and was probably not the easiest dog to handle and she was great with him.”
“Jessica and her lovely family took such amazing care of Marley! They have a very clean home in a nice friendly neighborhood, and treated Marley as if she was their own. I got daily updates and photos, and Marley always seemed to be having a blast and getting spoiled. There is no doubt I would 100% have Jessica take care of Marley again. Fantastic experience.”
“Pierre has no nearby "friends", so he enjoyed the other dogs at Janet's.He seems to play more at home now, and since it's getting cooler, we may go to the dog park on West Blvd (West & South in Carrollwood). We're planning another vacation Dec or Jan, and will try to get a spot at Janet's for boarding. She's great with the dogs and with the "mommies""daddies" too!”
“Gloria was great! She took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy. I had some special dietary needs for Lucy and Gloria took care of that like a pro. Gloria is a sweetie and I would recommend her to anyone looking for safe and loving care.”
“I recently booked Luis through Rover for a one-night stay with our Shih Tzu, Ace. This was our first time away from him, and we put all our trust in Luis to look after him. The experience was truly exceptional. From the initial meet-and-greet to our return, the communication was flawless. The updates we received were fantastic, frequent photos that showed Ace not just being looked after, but genuinely having a wonderful time. It was clear Ace felt comfortable and loved in their care. We highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and loving dog sitter. We’re already planning on booking another stay with Luis.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Jennifer! ❤️ From the beginning, we could see how much she genuinely loves dogs. Kira was so happy and comfortable with her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was being cared for with so much love and attention. I think we found Kira’s forever sitter! 😂❤️ We will definitely book with Jennifer again. Absolutely 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend her! ❤️🐶”
“Laura saved me. I had a Last minute need for a dog sitter Friday and Saturday. Laura came through with flying colors and 5 star care. Loved her personality and loving care for Lina. I would definitely call on her again if I need help in Tampa. Thank you so much.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t say enough good things about Giovanni, who recently took care of Sunny and Sky for what might be our seventh time! Every experience with him just gets better and better. From the moment of drop-off, we felt confident that our dogs were in the best hands possible. Giovanni has a wonderful ability to connect with Sunny and Sky, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while we’re away. This time, he went above and beyond by incorporating fun new activities that kept their tails wagging! As always, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which made us feel included in their adventures. Giovanni’s passion for animals truly shines through in every interaction. We’re so grateful for his kindness and dedication to our furry family members. We can’t recommend him highly enough and are already looking forward to our next time!”
“My dogs had a great time with Jaime. They were well taken care of and given lots of love. Jaime was very responsive and when we had a last minute issue and was so gracious to keep the dogs a little while longer than expected.”
“Aliyah was an incredible dog sitter! She took the best care of Mango and made sure Mango was safe, having fun, and always fed! I will definitely book her again when we need someone we trust to watch Mango!”
“Lynne & Luis were amazing sitters for my dog and made sure that she was comfortable throughout the entire stay. They sent daily updates and pictures. It was clear that my dog had a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

Christine was a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and was very caring for my dog during her boarding at Christine’s house. Christine was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. She provided daily updates on my dog with pictures on most days. I could see how easy-going she was, but at the same time was very attentive to my dog’s needs and my instructions. Christine is clearly a dog lover and it shows with how sweet she was with my dog, and cared for her as if it were her own. This was my first time using Rover, and I highly recommend Christine as a boarder. I was not disappointed at all at giving Rover a chance. Christine gave me the confidence that everything would be fine. I could tell this was not Christine’s first rodeo. My dog warmed-up very quickly to her and there were no issues with my dog getting along with Christine. I plan to use her in the future when I need a safe and reliable person to board my dog.
We absolutely love our Rover sitter! She’s such a sweet young woman and truly takes amazing care of our pets. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our babies are always so happy and comfortable with her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Reliable, caring, and attentive. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies!
Boarding my cat Tilly with Kirstie was a 10/10 experience!! She was so caring towards my cat and provided me with lots of updates. She was very accommodating with Tilly’s diet! Kirstie clearly loves animals and I can’t recommend her enough for any of your pets’ needs!
Lulu had an amazing over night stay with Michelle and at such short notice too. Michelle was very accommodating to us. Lulu iisnt around other dogs at home but Michelle introduced her to her own dogs in such a safe and careful manner that Lulu actually ran around and played with her dogs and felt such at ease there. I would highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again on the future.
This was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of Lehx, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth, and I loved receiving pictures and videos—it really meant a lot. She also made sure to ask questions beforehand to understand his needs, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!
I could not have wished for a better sitter for my Labrador Retriever, Winnie! Robin is a wonderful and warm person who truly loved and spoiled Winnie during the three weeks she looked after her. Robin sent pictures and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Her two dogs are happy and friendly, and Winnie got along beautifully with them. I would not hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
