Top rated Riverside Heights doggy day care sitters
“Virginia is hands down the best dog sitter ever! My pup Kiwi absolutely adored her—he was more excited to see her in the morning than me in the afternoon! 🐶 She sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the day, which made me feel so at ease. Kiwi also became best friends with her sweet dog, Cozy, and it was the cutest thing watching them play together in the videos she sent. It was clear she treated Kiwi like her own, with so much love and care. I would 100% trust her again and will definitely be coming back to her. Highly recommend!😊”
“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!”

Both my older dog and my puppy literally drag me into Lori's house because they love her and her family sooo much! It's really great! Thank you Lori! You truly are the best of the BEST! 😊”

About: Hey, I’m Gabby! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Tampa with a private fenced park - plenty of space for walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m around all day to hang out with your pup, give them attention, and keep them company. I recently lost my soul dog, Romeo, and I understand how much your dog means to you. To me, pets are family, and I treat them like my own. Your pup’s safety is my #1 priority, and I’ll provide them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I also help out with a local dog rescue in Tampa, so I’m experienced with all types of dogs (puppies to seniors, big to small, low energy to high energy) and can handle meds if needed. I just want your dog to feel at home, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. I remember when I needed pet sitters in the past I was so nervous and would do all my research to make sure my sitter was safe and experienced. I can ensure you that with me, your pups will be well taken care of, loved, and safe! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock pet care 24/7. Let me know what your pets schedule is like and I will maintain it. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority. All safety measures are taken to provide a safe experience for everyone. This includes complete supervision, proper fitting gear, safe walking routes and other measures to ensure the well being of all.
“My boy had a blast with Danielle and her pups!!! She was super accommodating, communicative and lovey with my baby. We will definitely be regulars of hers :)”
“Ariel is incredibly reliable, punctual, and has such a natural rapport with animals. They kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away.”
About: I’m a business owner who lost my dog June 22, 2025 after 17 years. Not ready to own another dog quite yet so thought this would be a great way to still be around dogs. I work from home and have a small fenced in area. I’m able to be with your dog essentially the entire day and hang out! Small fenced in area, plenty of toys, doggy steps, ability to go on the couch or bed and a crate but prefer to not keep dogs inside a crate unless owner requests for whatever reason.
“Calix was loving and attentive with my dogs from the minute I dropped off. He sent me a video during the day and my dogs were calm and happy when I picked them up.”
“Chante was great! We needed someone to watch our 6 month old puppy for a couple of days of daycare and our pup had a great time! She played all day in Chante’s large fenced in backyard with Makeda and came home happy and sleepy! Chante was super accommodating of our schedules and super quick to respond throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups!”
“I would like to say how happy I am that we got to take Bailey for daycare. I not only received feedback in how my fur baby was doing but got pics too. Great family! Thank you for welcoming her”
About: I've owned two dogs and a cat for the past 17 years. Unfortunately we're a pet free family at the moment so we're eager to fill the void while we take our time to find the right dog to add to our family. We do have a small child who will be at home some days and all nights/weekends, but she loves animals and plays very gently. Making sure you feel comfortable while you're away is something I strive for. I can guarantee a picture and status update at least daily so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands and is living it up! Last thing to note is that I am active and plan on being active with your pet. If your dog likes/needs walks, I'll make sure they get out and about and have plenty of opportunity to burn off some energy. I work from home and have limited engagements during the day, so the majority of the time I'll be here hanging out with your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got a young daughter who may also be around during the day, and will be around in the evenings and on the weekends. We live in a nice walkable neighborhood and I like to get out and walk, so I'll make sure your pet(s) have plenty of exercise and attention.
“I am so thankful for Roberto for watching my beautiful pups on short notice and keeping them filled with fun and playtime. I will definitely keep him as our sitter for our future sitting.”
“Akshata took really good care of Bella! She sent pictures of Bella sleeping and playing and she was having fun! When I picked her up at night she was super happy. Thank you Akshatha!”

Christopher A.
“I have had the privilege of knowing Chris for over 20 years — first as his finance professor at the University of Tampa, and later as a close personal friend. Over the years, I have come to know him as an exceptionally trustworthy, honest, loyal, and compassionate individual. Chris has a lifelong love for dogs. He cared for two beloved Westies for many years, with his last companion living to the remarkable age of 17 — a testament to the exceptional care, attention, and affection Chris provided. Sadly, his last dog recently passed away, and while he is not yet ready to bring a new one into his home, his heart for animals remains as strong as ever. Walking dogs through Rover is a perfect way for him to share that care and dedication with others’ pets. I can say with complete confidence that any dog in Chris’s care will be treated with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. He is the sort of person who goes above and beyond, and his responsible, dependable nature ensures that both dogs and their owners can have full peace of mind. I recommend Chris without hesitation — he would be a wonderful addition to the Rover community. Sincerely, Jay Wheaton”

“I highly recommend Timothy (Tim) as a pet sitter! He recently cared for my two French Bulldogs, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and attention he gave to each of them. From daily walks to personalized care routines, he truly goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it’s in-home pet visits or having your dog's stay overnight at his place, he creates a safe and welcoming environment. He’s incredibly trustworthy, easy to reach, and clearly has a deep love for animals. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs are in good hands when I’m away. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”
