“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

“Excellent service, as always. One of my cats is a total escape artist, and Amanda was very thorough about following my instructions about opening the door and made sure the cats did not escape. She sent thorough rover cards and pictures. I would 100% recommend her services.”

“Genesis did such a wonderful job with our two cats! You can tell she really loves animals and we felt very at ease knowing she was taking such care of our two guys each day. Highly recommended!”


About: I've had dogs all my life, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have less experience with cats but I don't mind learning more. I love being around animals. I'm currently working part-time, I'm available to walk and dog sit all day on Saturday and Sunday, and from 5:30pm to 10pm during the week.

About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog mom, I know that every pet deserves attention, care, and compassion—even when their owners have busy schedules. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a potty break, or your cat needs a check-in while you're away, I'm here to help. I provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits tailored to your pet's individual needs. During visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise when needed, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll always communicate clearly and send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and safe. What sets me apart is my dependability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk, your senior pet prefers a slower pace, or your cat simply needs companionship and care while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. While most of my experience has been with dogs, I also enjoy caring for cats and am happy to provide drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship based on your cat's comfort level and routine. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet parents while creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. I'm currently unemployed and planning my wedding in early October! I have plenty of time and my schedule is very flexible to take care of your furry family members. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), playtime, and any special preferences or needs your pet may have. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect in my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh water and plenty of attention, and ensure doors, gates, and other safety measures are secure before leaving. Communication is very important to me, so you'll receive updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for both you and your pet.
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs, including my own pets and my employer’s dogs while working as a Personal Assistant / Household Manager. I truly enjoy being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, grooming support, and keeping them on their normal routine. I have also scheduled and taken dogs to vet appointments and made sure their daily needs were taken care of. I am patient, dependable, and I will care for your pet like they are part of my own family. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits. I can plan visits around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. Since I do online school, I am organized with my time and can communicate clearly about availability and visit updates. I will care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and house rules. I will make sure doors, gates, crates, and feeding areas are secure before I leave. I also have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.

About: I have been a pet care taker for over 15 years. I have helped family, friends & neighbors in need of quality pet care. It brings me absolute joy to care for pets while their families are away. As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting is very flexible. Rather than treating caregiving like a traditional 9-to-5 job, I am able to build my schedule around my children’s routines, household responsibilities, and personal wellness, while still providing the upmost care for all pets. I have two fenced in large patio’s, plus I live in an area with plenty of grass to run around. I’m also not too far from a dog park if your pet allows for that. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I will be with your pet all day assuring they are safe and well cared for.
“Another great trip thanks to Christine! The meows love her and we love coming home to happy cats! Had a travel snafu this time and Christine was available to step in, easing the chaos of rerouted flights and leaving us with one less thing to worry about. Christine is great and we are looking forward to our next trip thanks to her!”

About: Hi, Im a Hillsborough County local and life long animal lover-dogs, cats and everything in between, big or small! Im a mom of two grown kids, which means my nest is empty and my schedule is wide open. No rigid 9-5 , no little ones to rush home to- just me, ready to give your pet the same love and attention I'd give my own. I've done many long house sits, moving right into your home to keep your pets routine steady while your're away, as well as wuick drop-in play dates for pets who just need a midday check-in, potty break, or cuddle session. Whether its a week-long trip or a same-day request, im almost always available and happy to work around your schedule. I treat every home and pet with care and respect-your pet gets consistency, company, and someone who genuinely enjoys being there. Reach out and lets set up a meet and greet! As an empty nester with a remote work schedule, i have flexibility most people don’t — extra time and a quiet house that make it easy to build pet sitting into my day without disrupting my job. Visits fit naturally around my existing routine, whether that’s a mid-morning break for snuggles between calls or an early evening walk. And since I’m home most hours anyway, pet sitting doesn’t feel like an added task — it becomes a welcome source of companionship and structure in a day that might otherwise feel a little too quiet. You can trust that your home and pets are in steady, capable hands — every visit happens on schedule, every task on your list gets done, and nothing falls through the cracks. Years of caring for animals of all kinds have taught me to read their individual needs, spot anything out of the ordinary, and act quickly if something seems off. I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — doors locked, mail collected, and everything left exactly as I found it, so you can travel with real peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
Claudia has cared for Milo at least five times now, and every experience has been outstanding. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands whenever I’m away. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely treats Milo like he’s part of her own family. She always pays attention to the little details, keeps me updated, and makes sure he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The moment Milo sees Claudia, his tail starts wagging and he gets so excited—that says everything about the bond they’ve built. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you, Claudia, for always taking such incredible care of my sweet boy. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own!

Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!

We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!

Before Katherine, we had only ever left our dog, Xena, with family. Even then, she would often come home a little out of sorts because she was most comfortable in our home and loves her routine. When a friend who was supposed to stay at our house had a last-minute emergency, I had to find other arrangements for Xena on short notice. After visiting several boarding facilities, I knew I couldn't leave her there. Someone suggested Rover, but the thought of having a stranger come into my home when we weren't there to take care of my dog made me nervous. I read a lot of reviews, and Katherine's profile stood out. The photos she shared of her family loving the dogs she cared for won me over. Her many 5-star reviews and many repeat customers gave me confidence that she was someone special. I sent her a message, she came to visit with our family and we knew we found our person for this trip and the future. Katherine's Rover Cards were fun to read, thoughtful, and often made me smile or laugh because she seemed to understand Xena's personality so well. It was clear that Xena wasn't just being watched...she was being loved. Katherine is kind, responsible, communicative, and loves animals. I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was happy and safe. I will absolutely be using Katherine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.

Bobby was great! He was extremely responsive from start to finish. I requested a booking pretty last minute and he came by next day to meet the pups. My dogs immediately liked him and he was so good with them. I will 100% be booking with Bobby the next time I need assistance.

Norah is a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. She was respectful of my property and took great care of my dog while I was away. Most importantly, she showed genuine love and kindness toward my dog. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter. 🐾😊

Nakisha was amazing! She was always on time and very dependable. She even stopped by before the scheduled dates to meet the dogs, which gave me peace of mind before my trip. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly without needing to reach out. If you’re going out of town and want someone reliable so you don’t have to worry, Nakisha is the perfect dog walker. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riverview choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Riverview with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
