“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
“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”

About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.
About: Hi! I’m Nikki. I’ve lived with dogs of all sizes my whole life and have been providing pet care for several years. I’m a true dog enthusiast who also studies canine behavior and training—so I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on keeping them safe, relaxed, and set up for success while they’re with me. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m comfortable supporting basic manners and routine-based training during a stay (sit, down, leash manners, calm greetings, etc.). I’m also very familiar with crate training and can help keep your dog’s home routine consistent—whether they’re crated at night, have structured rest breaks, or need extra support settling in a new environment. My goal is simple: your dog feels secure, enriched, and cared for—and you feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine. I’m home most of the day and plan my schedule around feeding, potty breaks, walks, and supervised outdoor time. I’m able to accommodate most drop-off/pick-up times with a little notice, and I keep dogs on a structured daily routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are always supervised and brought inside as needed (weather, energy level, or comfort). My home is structured and calm. I can offer private time and separation at any point, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routines and boundaries. Dogs can sleep crated, in a safe room, or in another arrangement you prefer. I also have two stable, friendly medium-sized dogs. If your dog enjoys social time, we can do carefully managed introductions and supervised play. If your dog prefers space—or does best as a solo guest—I can absolutely accommodate that too. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and anxiety, and I aim to make your dog’s stay peaceful and predictable.

About: I’ve had 5 dogs before 3 have been pitbull mixes and one was a labrador retriever and the other one was a mix of a bunch of things and they were all taken care of no issues and lived long life’s. I don’t think I have a special talent per say but I do love dogs and love to play / run around with them caring for them or Taking them on Walks is also fun for me so if you want to take a chance on me I’m sure your dog will love me In the summer I’m off work and I’m more then willing to help dog sit or walk dogs or feed them if Need be I have a big yard it’s fenced in and I have a guest room I have that I can have the dogs in and watch them
“I highly recommend Whitson! Whitson becomes an indispensable part of our routine. Not only do he arrives right on time, but he also goes above and beyond, often extending the walks beyond the agreed-upon duration to ensure our Tito gets the exercise and attention he needs. It's clear that Whitson genuinely cares for the well-being of our pet, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a dog walker who is not just a professional but also a true animal lover, look no further than Whitson. He is simply the best!”

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.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown to really enjoy caring for cats as well. I have a bunny of my own, so I understand how important it is to give pets daily attention, patience, and love. I’m known by friends and family for being great with animals, and I’ve even been recommended to work at a grooming and dog care store. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits when your pets need them most. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or some evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I tailor my visits to fit their needs—and your schedule! I make sure they’re always supervised, have plenty of water and comfort, and get lots of love and attention. Your pets will have fun and feel cared for while you’re away, so you can return knowing they’re happy and safe!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my own pets, family, and friends for around 6 years. I will take care of your animals like they’re my own! I have experience with all types of pets, big and small dog, puppies and kitties. I have volunteered at the Dumb Friends Leauge for over 6 months and have plenty of experience with animals! I am currently a student at the University of Tampa. I am available for house sitting, and I am available most days during the week! I will ensure the safety of your pet by making sure they are hydrated and fed, kept in a cool and safe environment. Use a leash when necessary and provide them with comfort and play time.
“Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!”

About: Although I work with humans in the medical field, helping animals has always been another passion of mine. Growing up I was the go to dog sitter for family and friends. Over the past 2 years I have become heavily involved at a local rescue. This has given me experience caring for all kinds of dogs (and cats!). Fostering animals in my home has taught me how to care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve also had to perform medicated baths and administer medications to dogs and cats. One day, I hope to open my own dog rescue ! My fiancée has been a dog sitter on Rover for about a year, so now we are joining forces to give dogs the most attention and care while their parents are gone. I work 3 days a week in the hospital. My fiancé works from home. Between the two of us, we are available to your pet almost any day/time. We have two, big pups who love small/medium dog friends! If we have a foster dog in the house or you have a large dog, we would prefer to dog sit at your home. We would make sure the dog obeys all rules of the house….but if they’re allowed in bed at night that’s where they’ll be !
“Jordan always does am amazing job with Daisy. She's so kind and flexible, and Daisy loves seeing her. I also love all the pictures from the walk 😊 Thank you Jordan!”

“Sophia was amazing with my dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. If I ever need to hire another dog walker again she’s the first person I’m asking.”

About: I always make sure the dogs feel loved whether it’s playing with them outside, taking them for walks, or just cuddling with them. I’ve always loved dogs and I will always make sure they’re safe. I am a college student so I do have classes but for most weekends I am free and I do have days off of classes. I always show them love with cuddles, I will play with them with their toys, take them for long walks, make sure they’re fed, give them treats if they’re being good or did tricks.
About: Have been a dog lover as long as I could remember! Currently have two dogs with my fiancé in the middle of Seminole Heights. Looking to help out with walking, dog sitting, or stopping in to let your dog out quick. I’m a work from home accountant so my schedule is very flexible allowing me to be able to come by at all times of the day! Just need a few hours notice Our pets are the definition of people lovers, but unfortunately one of them became very protective of the other when we moved in together.. so we can’t board at our home. Willing to do anything else!
Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away. Nena definitely has a new friend in Andrea!

Payton was super responsive and attentive with my request! Rover made a mistake within the request and Payton was positive and had no issues with the correction! I greatly appreciate the care he gave to Sheba and will absolutely use him again for walks when I need someone reliable!! Thank you Payton, you are wonderful!

Woof! Hi, it’s me, Lucy. I am using my hooman’s phonr (don’t ask how) because I simply must leave a review for my Rover sitter, Jenna. First of all, when my hooman left, I thought “oh no…”. But the Jenna walked in, smelled like treats, sunshine, and someone who definitely knows how to scratch behind my ears properly. Jenna walked me and even threw the ball for me at the park! I even got a belly rub when we got back. Now that is service! Can’t wait for Jenna to walk me again! A++++

We have loved working with Jordan! She really goes the extra mile when taking care of my pup. He is typically timid with new walkers but she knows exactly how to make him comfortable. They even play a hide and seek game with treats that he loves! It really puts my mind at ease while working knowing that she’s going to be caring for him. Also wonderful communicating when she will be getting there and all details of the visit.
