“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!!”
“Kyle was amazing with my doggie! I’m so grateful she came through for us when we needed a sitter for my out-of-town trip! I would recommend her to my closest family and friends!”
“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.”
“Driana was absolutely amazing the care she had for our pups while we were gone. She went above and beyond and took her time with them. Highly recommend and we will be booking with her again :)”
“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!”
“Melissa was awesome! We had to reschedule on short when things changed and she was so flexible and great. Reliable and our pooches appreciated her drop in! Certainly will schedule more wi the Melissa and would recommend her as well.”
“Jess was amazing with our dogs and even did extra to play with our kitties. She included so many pictures of our babies it was nice to see them being so happy while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies.”
“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!”
“Kali took great care of our boys. She was always quick to reply to messages, showed up exactly when requested and kept our pups happy, well fed, loved, and exercised while we were away. We will definitely be using her again next time!”
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 believe dogs are family and should be treated as such! I would love to spoil your furry friend! I’m punctual and detailed when it comes to any job. I work a full-time job. I am available in the evenings/nights and weekends. I could even make some early mornings work. If times are flexible, please let me know! I take care of pets by knowing I’m in their environment first. I make sure they are comfortable before overstepping my welcome. Walking, feeding and spoiling them with lots of love are ways I personally take care of my dog.
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs all my life. Family and friends have always come to me to take care of their precious ones. No dog is too big or too small, I will walk and love them all :) I am an active military member in Tampa. My schedule fluctuates every week however I will keep my availability updated weekly. I will usually work 3 times a week so I will be pretty available. I currently live in an apartment complex with a private dog area and there is also a nature park and trails right next door. Being in Tampa there are plenty of dog parks and beaches for your dogs to roam and explore.
About: We have experience working in dog daycares and have been doing dog care in and outside our home for the past 3 years. We love dogs and pride ourselves on giving them the family experience. We follow all owners rules while they are in our care but they will be treated like our pets, members of our family. We have a large fenced in yard and are experienced keeping active dogs entertained and properly exercised. We currently have 4 rescue dogs. We have a large house, climate controlled dog care building and multi-fenced yard so if your dog doesn't like other dogs, keeping them separated is not a problem. We are almost always available and can be flexible with your schedule and needs. We are able to take last minute requests for any services offered. We have an acre and live in a quiet neighborhood. We love walking dogs, playing fetch and tug a war. Your dogs will get lots of love under my care.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
