“Michelle was excellent, she was responsive and sent updates and house looked great when I returned.”
“Jamiya was so amazing with Murphy. I could tell at the meet and greet they would be a great fit. Jamiya took great care of Murphy and he was a happy dog when I came home. She sent updates and I never felt worried. I’ll definitely be using Jamiya again in the future!”
“Janiellee was awesome to work with! She was very communicative and supportive of our pets and needs. I am so thankful she came in and saved the day to watch our pets and home with short notice. She was absolutely fantastic and put our minds at ease while we were away. If I could give her a million stars I would! We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Whitney was very communicative which was important for us. One of our dogs is very anxious around strangers but she was very patient with him even though he did cause some problems. It’s very difficult to leave for vacation due to this but she made sure we weren’t worried while we were away. I highly recommend Whitney as a sitter due to her positive energy and patience!”

“Mary and mom were delightful. It felt more like I was having some family watch my baby, than some people I’d just met over the internet. They were respectful, kind, compassionate and caring. I had no doubts that my baby was in great hands. Could not have asked for a better experience!”
About: Current dog owner to a 5 year old Siberian Husky. During my college years I also co-owned two dogs and grew up with a house full of dogs & cats. Ability to walk, run, play or hang out with your pet while you’re tied up with busy tasks! Have walked and exercised with dogs over 100 pounds (Great Dane, German Shepherd, Pitbull, Husky) Serving clients in Riverview/Gibsonton, FL AVAILABLE FOR TAMPA/BRANDON requests: additional up charge will be added on for gas & tolls (more than 2 miles away) I work a flexible schedule that is my own business, so I only need a day or two notice, but once I’m familiar with a particular need or schedule, I can adjust very easily! During any walks, the pet will be leashed. Frequent grooming, and care such as fresh water/food is all involved during visits. Able to provide any extra requests and would encourage a meet and greet! Feel free to send a message
“Absolutely amazing care for my older girl. Christine is so attentive and wonderful with dogs! She provided regular updates and took the cutest photo. We’ll be booking with her again soon!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since before I was born and have a cat of my own as well. I started dog sitting at the age of 15 and soon moved onto cat sitting as well because I LOVED it!! I had two chihuahuas growing up (who sadly have already passed away) and have raised two large dogs and a cat now since they were all babies. I have experience with dogs and cats from the ages of 3 months to 17 years old and will always make sure to treat every animal with love, care, and kindness! I am a massage therapist so I will be working on my full days off to make sure to have a full day open to ample potty breaks and attention! I will follow the schedule that you have for feeding, walks, and/or medicine that you need for your furry friend. All you have to do is let me know!
“Kyra was awesome! I had a lot of changes leading up to the first time I have had to leave my dogs overnight since moving to Florida and she was sweet, caring, and accommodating. I will definitely be trusting her again with my dogs soon.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, pet sat around my neighborhood, throughout college I walked multiple dogs and stayed at people's homes with their dogs, and now own 2 of my own! I absolutely love dogs and expect the highest care if someone was watching my dogs, so that's what I promise to provide to other's dogs as well. I work from home so I am able to go over to walk them or spend time with them at any point in the day. My husband and I live together, so I am available for overnight stays at your house to keep your dogs in their own element while you are out of town as well. I care for other's pets like my own. I understand the love an owner has for their dogs, and I care for them as much as I would expect someone to care for my dogs. I know the stress of finding a reliable sitter while you may be out of town or working long hours, so I provide updates and photos when I get there and leave so there are no questions on your end.
“Christian did an awesome job and was very communicative. It was a very stress free experience for both us and our cat allowing us to really enjoy ourselves. Would highly recomend to others!”
About: I love experiencing the various personalities I’ve encountered across the number of pets I’ve cared for thus far as it’s taught me how to cater to every dog’s needs! I have cared for up to 3 dogs at once and have cared for everything from a Corgi puppy to a 15 year old Maltese Yorkie. I’ve pet sat for up to 5 animals at once including various aquatic animals, cats, and lizards. I enjoy being in company with pets and feel that my company is appreciated by the families and pups themselves when sitting for them or walking! I work part time as a server at a daytime café for the time being so I am always looking for ways to fit outdoor exercise and relaxation into my afternoon/evening schedule. I am passionate about pet care and make it a point to prioritize the animals I commit myself to to give peace of mind to the families I help that I am providing the best care I possibly can for their furry (or scaly!) family members. I’m used to leashing nearly every dog I care for and walking them around a designated area (i.e. park, backyard, neighborhood). I respect the routine the dog has with their parents and try to make them feel as comfortable as possible on the initial meeting by performing tasks that are familiar to them (i.e. if a family communicates to their dog that it is dinner time, I make sure to do the same to instill a sense of normalcy in the pet to establish and maintain their trust).
“Thank you so much Francesca we arrived and Bear was so happy and excited to see us, but he seemed to be very well taken care of while we were away!!! ??? we will definitely contact you again if we ever go away again, as well as recommend you!!!”

She follows all instructions carefully and keeps me updated with regular messages and photos, which I really appreciate. At one point, we had two pups and the older one was in a wheelchair. Deirdre was the only person I could trust to handle my special needs baby, which allowed us to travel again. Not only does she take amazing care of my dog, but she also keeps the house tidy, brings in packages, and leaves everything just as she found it (or better!). It's such a comfort knowing both my pet and home are in such capable hands. Deirdre has become part of our pack and my dog doesn't miss a beat when I am gone.”

Casey was amazing! Our dog Bailey isn't usually friendly with new people but Casey had not trouble caring for her. During the meet-and-greet, Casey listened carefully to all our instructions and followed through perfectly. She also sent us pictures throughout her stay, and it was clear Bailey was happy and comfortable. Casey is amazing at what she does-we've already told her we'd love for her to watch Bailey during our next vacation, and we've recommended her to a couple of other families as well!
Meghan was amazing with our three dogs—Nomie, Coal, and Peach. She took great care of each of them, sending daily updates with photos and ensuring they were happy and well-loved while we were away. We came home to a clean house and three very happy pups. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Meghan to anyone looking for trustworthy and thoughtful care!
We recently had Niko take care of our two pups and we couldn't be happier with the experience. This was our first time using Rover and we didn’t know what to expect but Niko made us feel very comfortable about everything. We got picture updates and it was clear that our pups were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking Niko again 😊
Janiellee was great with all 3 of my pups! She stayed at my home for a week while I was on vacation. Her communication was great and I came home to happy pups. Would love to hire her again!

Monika took excellent care of our two dogs!! She was very communicative, trustworthy, & considerate of our dog’s needs. Our dogs can be shy and she really took the time to get to know them. We could tell from photos that our dogs were happy and given the best time with her. Thank you Monika!
Eboni was great. She took her time to get to know one of the dogs that needed some extra time. The pictures were great to keep us updated .
Angelina was fantastic! She house and dog sat for us for our two older small dogs. She was so good and patient with the who can be a finicky eater in her old age and the other that is afraid of thunder. Communication was great and the house was in excellent condition upon my return!
I recently hired Nick to care for my dogs and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to understand my pups' quirks and needs, ensuring a stress-free environment. His reliability was unmatched—always punctual, communicative, and consistent with feedings and playtime. What stood out most was his flexibility; he accommodated a last minute schedule change without hesitation, making the whole process seamless. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy, adaptable, and caring dog sitter!
Hannah was incredible! We’ll definitely be using her whenever we travel out of town. She’s our forever dog sitter.
Chey was fantastic with my dog. She took really good care of her. Even though she watched her for two days, she took her on multiple walks, played fetched with her, took her to a dog park, and even put out her splash pad for her enjoy. I would recommend her again and will be using her in future.
Malik was INCREDIBLE!! Not only did he accommodate my request on short notice, but he was happy to help. He gave me updates during the stay, sent the cutest pictures of the pups, and was attentive to the dogs needs. To top it all off, the dogs absolutely LOVED him. I would 100% book again!
Elizabeth was so great! She came on time and had so much fun with my Lexington. She was able to watch my dog after he had surgery and sent me pictures while I was gone. Will definitely be using her services again! He loved her!! 10/10

Elif is very communicative and reliable! We always know our pup and home are in good hands when she’s there.
Amy was awesome! This is the first time we left anyone with our dogs after moving to FL, and it worked out great. She communicated with us every day to let us know how things were going.
Kevin did an amazing job taking care of our animals over a long weekend. He was incredibly attentive, keeping us updated throughout with great communication. We really appreciated the regular photos he sent, which assured us that our pets were well cared for and happy. Both our dog and cat seemed to love him, and we felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Kevin and will definitely be using him again in the future!
Aiden was amazing with our two pups!!! He took very well care of Bear and Max, plenty of walks and play time while with them for an entire week! I felt so at ease seeing they were happy and enjoying their time with him. Aiden kept us very well informed of how they were doing and when he would go and do an errand or schooling! So appreciate of him and will be booking up for more! Thank you Aiden!
