“Mariah took great care of my two fur babies. She played with the kitten and was patient and gentle with my older cat…She sent cute pics and updates! She also took in my amazon packages and the trash cans, what a wonderful help!! i highly recommend Mariah!!”

“After a great experience with Alexandra last year, I was excited to hire her again this holiday season! She takes the best pictures and is so communicative, I have no room for any anxiety when leaving my cats. I’m so grateful to have found such an awesome sitter in the South Tampa area.”

“Taylor was awesome with my dog. I am gone for 12+ hours due to my job and Taylor is the first dog walker I have used where I come home to my dog not being overly energetic. He clearly gets a lot of play time with her!! She is very responsive, professional, and sends the cutest pictures! :)”

“Tremendous job taking care of our fur babies! Allen was great at communicating and providing pics and videos of our pets. I would most definitely recommend him for anyone needing pet care while away from home. Will definitely ask for him again next time we are out of town!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but have been in the petsitting and housesitting business for years now. All of my clients have been word of mouth, and I have a goal to expand my clientele and services. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From tiny lap dogs who think they own the house to giant breeds who actually do. Whether your pet is a couch potato, zoomie champion, professional squirrel watcher, or secretly plotting world domination, I’m here for it. I have experience with animals big and small and know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, dependable, and always ready for belly rubs, playtime, long walks, or just keeping your furry friend company while you’re away. Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and care, plus updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Warning: your pet may come back spoiled with affection and expecting celebrity-level treatment. I currently have an fairly open availability and a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and even last-minute pet care needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk and playtime, your cat needs a quick check-in and treats, or your pet simply wants someone to exist nearby while they silently judge them, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and very specific demands, so I do my best to stay flexible and work around what keeps them happiest, safest, and most comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or convinced they are the ruler of the household, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at their own pace. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, behavioral changes, and making sure your home stays secure and tidy during visits. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and quirks. My goal is always to create a calm, low-stress environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you’re away.

I have cared for senior dogs and senior cats, as well as puppies. having to do daily walkings and daily medications, along with walking the senior dogs outside to make sure they were able to use the restroom and come back into the house with no troubles. Other tasks I have done are walking, sleeping over at the house for long periods of time, and keeping up with their feeding schedule. Every morning consisted of following the feeding schedule, along with medications and exercise!

If I were to open boarding or house sitting In my clients home, and in my own home, I will always make sure they know their furr baby and being respectful of the house is my top priority.

In my home, animals are allowed on furniture and walks will be taken out at the dog park in my apartment complex. I also enjoy walking bayshore, so this would be a place I would take your dog as well to get out of the house and get fresh air!

I structure my schedule around walks, playtime, feeding routines, and regular potty breaks. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, crate training, and house rules.

Currently I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and social, they would be very happy to have a new friend to play with! I work 15 minutes from home Monday-Thursday.

“Cynthia was great! I was stressed trying to book someone last minute to check in on my cats over Thanksgiving and she responded right away. Very responsive and sent me lots of videos and photos during her visits! Very satisfied with this experience.”

About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.
“Katelyn was great! This was our first week using Rover and our first week with our new rescue puppy. She really put my mind at ease with pictures and great communication!”

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal hospital as well as assisting a professional groomer with her mobile grooming business, which has given me experience handling pets of all ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m confident working with energetic puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior animals who may need extra patience and gentle care. What sets me apart is my calm approach and ability to read animal behavior closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important routine, trust, and attention to detail are when caring for someone’s pet. I do work full time at my animal hospital, however, I am very flexible and can work in check-ins throughout the week and am available on weekend's. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and low-stress environment while keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications if needed, and any household routines your pet is familiar with. I focus on making pets feel comfortable through patience, positive interactions, and attention to their individual personalities and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra reassurance, I adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also make cleanliness and safety a priority by keeping feeding areas, litter boxes, crates, and pet spaces clean and monitoring pets closely for comfort and well-being. With my animal hospital and grooming experience, I’m comfortable recognizing stress signals and handling pets gently and responsibly throughout their care.
“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”
