“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!😊”

“Madisyn is so kind and easy to work with and she truly cares about your pup you leave in her care. She is great at sending you updates and is has adorable pups of her own. Evie is always so excited to spend the day over.”

“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.”

“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!”

“My puppy loves going to Cece’s house! I always feel at ease having her there because I know she is well taken care of. Cece treats my baby like her own. I can’t say enough good things!”

“Very thankful for Matt...he took my baby last minute as we were traveling & wanted to attend somewhere that wasn't dog friendly. He sent pics & updated how my dog was doing & my baby was happy when we picked him back up. 5 started from us & thankful. Recommend!”

“Danielle was awesome! 100% recommend her. She took amazing care of Mao and sent me pictures pretty often. He had the best time playing with her dogs and fighting for toys lol.”

“Evgenia and her daughter did an amazing job taking care of our puppy, Cooper! From the start, communication was excellent, and they sent us daily updates that really put us at ease while we were out of town. It was clear how loving and attentive they were with him, which meant a lot to us since he’s still so young. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely recommend Evgenia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and kind Rover. Thank you again for treating Cooper as your own!!”


“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.”
“Cynthia was super accommodating and made finding a trustworthy, dependable sitter such an ease! She was very kind and attentive to my pup Maya, spending extra time to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. I’m so grateful to have found a sitter like Cynthia and highly recommend her!”
“Jenna treated my dogs as her own and was so communicative with me throughout the entire stay. You can tell from meeting her that she genuinely loves dogs. I am so happy she was able to watch my dogs for me. She also happened to be available on short notice and contacted me immediately after I messaged her. Thank you so much Jenna! I will definitely be booking again in the suture .”

“I was getting my house deep cleaned and needed someone to take the dogs since my friend couldn't. Calix was super responsive when I initially reached out and was very flexible regarding my cleaners not finishing when they said they would be done. No one's fault there but I appreciate his willingness to work with me! It seems like all 3 dogs had a good day because they came home and slept til the morning! This was my first time ever using Rover or a sitter in general so I was honestly pretty nervous about leaving them for 12 hours with a "stranger" but Calix texted me throughout the day and provided me pictures which helped calm my anxiety. I don't really see myself needing a sitter on a regular basis, but if and when I do again he's going to be the first person I reach out to! Thank you Calix :)”


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.

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.

Riverside Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Raquel is beyond amazing. I’m hesitant to leave a review because she is so incredible, we don’t want her to get too busy for us. Just kidding. She has become a part of our family and daily life over the last few years - with our last angel dog, Hank, to our spirited puppy. We joke we co- parent with her and couldn’t have a dog without her. We are so grateful for her love, care and support of our dogs that I thanked her in my masters graduation speech because it truly takes a village. We couldn’t speak more highly of her and we think Carl sometimes comes home bummed he can’t stay with his other mom and all his friends. She is truly meant to work with animals and it shows. Thank you.

Alise was wonderful! She is incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept us updated throughout with photos and videos, which we truly appreciated and made us feel at ease. We’ll definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!

Danielle was incredible! I am always nervous to leave our dogs somewhere new, but Danielle truly went above and beyond. We got so many pictures and updates throughout their daycare. She was so incredibly sweet and communicative. We found our new favorite Tampa sitter!

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.

Virginia was wonderful! She did an amazing job sending videos and pictures throughout the day, which made me feel so reassured. My puppy absolutely loved playing with her pup, and he matched her energy so well. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, engaged, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Virginia!

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.

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.

Gabby was absolutely amazing with my dog, Winnie. She has a kind, out-going personality that put us both at ease from the beginning. Winnie did not miss me at all. Gabby is very active and took Winnie for a long walk and out for treats. Winnie came home happy and tired.
