About: Hi! My name is Hayley, and I have two years of professional doggy daycare and boarding experience! I was a supervisor/lead at a very successful daycare in Tampa Bay, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have my own fur baby at home, and I love taking care of her, as well as taking care of my friends’ pets! I also love getting active on a day to day basis and making connections with people (and their pets) in my community! I love doing walks and check in visits, based on the activity level of the baby I’m sitting. For those young, energetic, or active dogs, I opt to take long walks/runs with them, and for the senior or slower moving pups, I try to be mindful of the summer heat, and we tend to go to a chill dog park or take a nice stroll for them to have plenty of time to potty!
“This was my first time using Rover or having someone that is not family walk Lola while I was out of town. Karla was absolutely amazing. She communicated very well giving me updates everytime she came over to walk Lola. She sent plenty of pictures. She even made sure Lola cooled down after her walks and made sure she had water. From the pictures Lola looked so calm and happy. I will definitely go back to Karla for any walks I will need in the future.”
“Jamie is SUPER AWESOME & quick to respond. Excellent with communication as well❣️”
“Rachel is amazing! She is always on time, is reliable and goes the extra mile with our pup. Our dog is always happy and tired out after her walks with Rachel! Highly recommend”
“Johnny was so great with my dog! Such great communication and he always sent photos. It was such a a relief to know my pet was in good hands when I wasn't with him.”
“Patrick was amazing. I recently had surgery and was unable to walk my dog (pretty much my child) and Patrick was not only communicative, he was kind and helpful. My dog was always excited to see him. Thanks again Patrick!! I appreciate your help.”
About: I worked at a doggy day care for years and miss hanging out and caring for all the pups! I’ve cared for friends, family and neighbors pets for years, of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication if need be and will always take extra special care of your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 💜 I’m currently a single stay at home mom with my 2 boys. My schedule is very flexible and I more often than not can accept same day bookings/visits! My cat is on a strict feeding schedule with prescription food so I understand how important it is to be punctual. I walk my sisters dog every other day (the evenings she’s working late and can’t do it herself) and love providing enrichment games for both pets to make sure they’re living their best and happiest life!
“Sally is a wonderful dog walker. She was very communicative, considerate and professional — and she sent photos and video each day. I would highly recommend d Sally for any dog related needs! We will certainly be using her services again in the future.”
“Tina took such good care of my dog during her daily walks while I was away! She took the cutest pictures and mitigated my dog’s reactivity on walks perfectly. We really appreciate how stress free it was having her help and will be in touch again soon!”
“Joel did a fantastic job with my dog. Great communication and very prompt! He took great care and went above and beyond helping out. Will definitely be using him again.”
“Roxana was amazing! I will definitely use her again. She was super reliable and communicative. My boys loved her!! Can’t say enough great things!”
About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for a while now. And I really do enjoy my work. This is my first time using Rover. Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I help my partner take care of his boarding and daycare clients. I'm a big fan of dogs and cats. They love me too. I'm a former social worker. But these days I cherish the time I get to spend with my pet clients. I have lots of time to offer in this regard. Always up for a snuggle. I enjoy walking and playing with your pups. I'll treat them as if they were my own!🐶 I have a fully fenced yard. Lots of room to roam. I have lots of time to offer your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
“Olivia was so kind and gentle with Shelby. Great with communication and pictures while we were traveling.”
About: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Great with my pup. Always on time and accommodated to any change. I wish she could keep walking Rafa but I understand she has other commitments. Emma gave me enough advance notice, which shows being responsible and respectful. I will definitely trust her with my pup again ??”
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. Whether they were neighbors, friends, family or my own. I've helped bathe, feed, and care for them as if they were my own. I'm currently a college student taking some online classes over the summer so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. Classes only take place tuesdays and thursdays from 9:30 to 11:40, leaving me free either before then, or after. Whether caring for pets in my home or my clients home my prioritize safety, comfort and routine. I take time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedule, exercise medication and favorite activities in my home.I provide a compact friendly environment of plenty of intention and playtime when i'm in a client's home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep pets relaxed by following the familial routine.
About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
“I have a young Australian Cattle dog mix who is high energy and needs a “firm hand” at times. David was very patient with my dog and even available to walk on last minute notice. Highly recommend.”

Sophia A.
“I have known Sophia to be attentive and caring towards my beloved canine Rudy ( German short haired pointer). I know I can count on her to make sure Rudy is tired and cared for when I am unable/ traveling for work . A tired dog is a good dog and that is certainly the case for my dog Rudy. She is a creature of habit. Sophia is aware of Rudy’s particular needs and makes a point to adhere to our usual routines. Rudy is always excited to see her, which is comforting. I know that my dog is having fun and in good hands when she spends time Sophia!”

She’s attentive, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to ensure their comfort and happiness—whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedules, taking them on engaging walks, or providing plenty of belly rubs and playtime. I’ve trusted her with my own dog, and I can say without hesitation that she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their well-being. Beyond her skills, Michelle’s warm personality and dedication make her a perfect fit for dog sitting. She’s the kind of person who sends updates with photos and videos, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Any dog in her care is lucky to have her, and I’m confident she’ll exceed your expectations as a dog sitter.”

Amanda & Matthew K.Star Sitter
“Amanda has watched my dog, Jeebie, on multiple occasions, and I cannot recommend her enough! Jeebie a seven-year-old who likes to act like she’s a big dog, but definitely has some issues with separation anxiety when I leave her with certain people. This never happens with Amanda watching her. Amanda treats my dog as if she is her own and send me photo updates of them playing and cuddling. She is incredibly reliable and always shows up at the agreed upon time. If you are someone that treats your pet like a member of the family, you want a pet sitter who will do the same - well look no further… Amanda is that someone! 10/10 recommend and will continue using her in the future!”
