“Rez had such a good time! We are very happy we went with Rover and Elena and her family. We received constant updates and were very well communicated with. Will definitely be leaving our baby with them again!”
“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, I bring a deep love and understanding to each animal I look after. From playing with energetic pups to providing extra care for senior dogs, I offer personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry family members will be in trusted, caring hands with me. Working from home allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week. I’m available for both weekday and weekend services, adapting my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a daily visit or extended care, I can provide consistent and attentive support for your fur baby. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and welcoming environment with a fully-fenced yard, cozy beds, and plenty of toys. I provide flexible care with options like beds in my workspace for pets needing extra comfort and both large and small crates for those who feel more comfortable with their own space. I take regular breaks during the day to take pups out for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. My 6-year-old chihuahua mix loves new furry friends and will happily run around with other playful pups. My young child happily helps with animal responsibilities while also understanding the importance of respect and boundaries for all animals. Velcro dogs who prefer constant companionship are especially welcome to snuggle on the furniture and stay close.
“Marcus accommodated my dog last minute for daycare, and he took great care of him. He sent me pictures and responded to my messages quickly. I’m so glad I found someone close by. I will definitely be using Marcus again.”
“Burphee enjoyed himself and felt safe with her. She was extremely caring and made sure I was comfortable with the whole process too. I highly recommend.”
“Carley was great! I had no doubt from the moment I met her and her sweet fur baby that my little guy would be fine. Clean and comfortable home, would book again if I’m back in the area.”
“Hillary was amazing with my semi-disabled senior dog! She was so caring and sweet with him, made sure he was cleaned up even tho he got himself into a mess, followed any special instructions and I could tell he really loved her because he rarely greets or says goodbye to people lol. He is usually pretty aloof with most adults and ignores them trying to pet him but he actually went to her for cuddles to say goodbye at the end of the night-that is a first! It made me feel at ease knowing he was so well cared for.”
“She’s absolutely amazing. My babies loved her! She’s very informative and caring. I love that she kept me posted on their wellbeing and progress throughout the day while I was out working. Definitely recommend her as future use of service.”
“Makenzi was great! My dog had so much fun and was well taken care of. She was given her medication as directed. My dog loved running around in the backyard with the other dogs and got along great with the cats. Definitely recommend!”
“Iyorima was amazing! Jin loved her and got used to her fairly quickly. I get paranoid pretty easily and she understood and sent me photos and text messages about Jin to calm me down. Jin was a happy boy when he was there and that’s all I care about.”
“Lynne and Michael are so sweet and caring, our boy was so happy he almost didn't want to leave. Communucation was amazing during the planning stage and the stay itself”
“Madisyn is the best! My dog Steven has been going to her for about a month and he absolutely adores her! She has three dogs so Steven always has friends to play with, and she even takes them to the park and sends pics and videos. He comes home happy, exhausted, and cleaned so well I'd never have known he was playing outside if I hadn't gotten videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Very friendly and helpful! They asked to meet the pups prior to the stay, which is a plus! Helpful with drop off time and pick up. Very reliable and communicative. The pups were happy and healthy upon return. Thank you so much!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive dog walks and drop-in visits designed to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away or at work. I know how important consistency is, so I take the time to learn your dog’s preferences, energy level, and any special needs. Whether it’s a refreshing walk, a potty break, playtime, feeding, or just some calm companionship, I treat every visit as if it were for my own pet. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on your dog’s safety and well-being. You can expect clear communication, timely visits, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. My goal is to make sure your dog feels secure and cared for and you feel completely at ease. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be dependable, responsive, and present for the pets I care for. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to accommodate consistent drop-in times, midday walks, and last minute needs when they arise. Working remotely also means I’m easy to reach and quick to respond, and I can give your pet my full attention during each visit without rushing. Your pet’s routine is always my priority, and I’m happy to adjust visits to match their normal schedule as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free. For dogs, I focus on safe, controlled walks using secure leashes and harnesses, awareness of surroundings, and pacing that matches your dog’s energy level. During drop-in visits, I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured and that your dog has fresh water, a calm environment, and attentive supervision. For cats, I respect their space and cues, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m careful with doors, litter areas, and feeding routines, and I always double check that everything is secure before leaving. Whether a cat is social or more reserved, I provide patient, low stress care at their pace. I maintain a clean, safe environment during every visit and communicate clearly with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed, cared for, and safe and for you to have complete peace of mind.
About: I accept same day bookings but there will be 2 dollar upcharge for my non-repeating customers the first time. I have a full time job currently I work 8am-5pm. On the occasions that I can not make your animal at all times but you still would like to book my wife has all the same credentials as me and can stop in also. During the summer my walking price is a bit elevated than drop in due to the weather. I’m currently working 7-3:45p Monday through Friday in office, so on weekdays I’m only available after 430p. My weekends are usually pretty open from morning to evening. My wife currently has THURS AND FRIDAY and after noon weekends in my home we have gates to keep taller dogs out unnecessary areas, and also a lot of brain games to keep dogs interested. I love going on walks and short runs with my own dogs.

River Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lynne and Chuck were both fantastic, and I’m thankful they were available to watch my puppy. They have an amazing fenced-in yard and they only take one client at a time which made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They were quick to respond to messages, and they sent picture updates on how Ludo was doing that day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for kind and experienced care for their pet.
Allison was amazing with our dog, Honey! She watched Honey two days in a row and was incredibly communicative the entire time. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Honey was having such a great time. Honey got along perfectly with Allison’s dogs and came home happy and completely exhausted from playing so much! 12/10 experience — we will absolutely be rebooking with Allison in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own!
Madelyn was great for my dog Daisy. I booked the day before and she made her schedule clear to me. She kept me updated with pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her. She is very responsible and responsive. I would definitely trust her again.
Madisyn truly went above and beyond. My puppy had a hurt paw at the time, and she took such great care to keep it clean and make sure she was safe and comfortable. She was very attentive and sent great updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again.
Crystal was amazing with my puppy! She spent two full workdays with Scout while I had to be in the office, and since Scout is only 12 weeks old and full of energy, that’s no small task. Crystal handled everything so well and made me feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Hillary kept our Boston two different days while we went to the RV show. She is very nice. From the moment we got there our Tux was ready to play. The second day he drug me to her front door. I received updates, pictures and videos during the day. Would definitely recommend her.
Kerry is the best! She updated me several times throughout Scooby’s daycare stay with pictures. He had an amazing time with his friend Tony too. Scooby did not even want to play tug of war when we got home which told me all I needed to know about his day. I will be requesting Kerry again for sure.
