“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Emily! She has taken such amazing care of our dog, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. Emily is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which we really appreciated. Our pup absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why—she treats him like one of her own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring sitter, Emily is it. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Blaize was absolutely wonderful with my girl Ava! She sent lots of pictures and updates, so I knew my doggie and apartment were in good hands. It made for a relaxing and worry free trip. I highly recommend Blaize!”
“So happy to find Marlene! We just moved to Florida and needed an in home pet sitter for our 17 year old dog. Marlene not only took exceptional care of our dog (sending us updates and photos daily) but did several other favors that were much appreciated, as a result, our trip away was worry free. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!”
“Kayla was very responsive and kind! She came over to meet us before the stay and she did a great job watching both our dog and our cat for a few overnight stays. Kayla also made sure to send me pictures of both of them each day! She even left cute Polaroid photos of both of them on the last day for us 🐾”
“Nhu did a great job taking care of Tipsy and keeping me informed of how Tipsy was doing. I appreciated the pictures I received as well. I will definitely book Nhu again.”
“Barbara was wonderful. She kept me informed about my fur babies and they were all well cared for while I was gone. Will be using Barbara again if she is available.”
“Alyssa was so amazing!! So professional, great communication, took such great care of my sweet Georgie and provided me with videos and pictures while I was on my business trip. Thank you Alyssa!!”
“Joli has continued to be an amazing sitter for our pups. They absolutely love her and she put our minds at ease knowing how well they were looked after. I can't recommend her enough!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Thomas completely exceeded every expectation I had. As someone who is very protective of my dog, I was nervous about trusting a new person, but Thomas made the entire experience incredibly easy, reassuring, and honestly, better than I could have imagined. Before even accepting the booking, he came by to meet Jax and instantly put both of us at ease. He listened carefully to every instruction, took my concerns seriously, and asked thoughtful, detailed questions to make sure he could care for Jax exactly the way I do. It was so obvious how much he genuinely cares about animals and wants to get it right. Throughout the stay, Thomas sent amazing updates and photos that showed just how happy, exercised, and loved Jax was the entire time. He went above and beyond to keep my pup engaged and comfortable. Knowing Jax was in such great hands allowed me to actually relax — something I honestly didn’t think was possible when leaving my dog with someone new. He stayed in my home and was incredibly respectful of my space. Everything was exactly as I left it, and he followed all of Jax’s routines perfectly. It felt like Jax got a little vacation of his own. Thomas gave me a level of peace of mind I didn’t think I’d ever have with a sitter. My initial apprehension about leaving my dog with someone new is completely gone and that is entirely because of him. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Thomas. He is responsible, kind, attentive, communicative, and genuinely exceptional at what he does. If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your dog like family, look no further. Thomas is your guy, and I will absolutely be using him any chance I get.”
“We just got back from a 5 day cruise and our dogs are very relaxed and happy! Marissa kept in contact with daily updates and pictures which made it easier to relax during our vacation. We will be booking with Marissa again!”
“Elise stayed @ my home with my Callie girl for 5 days & did an outstanding job!! She checked in sending pictures several times throughout the days & let me know what they were doing. I trusted her completely in my home. Very nice young lady & will recommend her to anyone to dog sit their fur babies”

“Alexis was prompt and followed all of my instructions. She sent photos almost daily and Blake looked comfortable and happy. I think he warmed up to her right away which is a great thing. She was neat and tidy and left my house just the way it was when we left. I would have her come back again if we need someone to watch him again.”
“Paola was absolutely incredible! She stayed in our home with our two corgis for a full week, and I genuinely don’t think they missed us at all (which says everything). She went above and beyond with multiple walks each day, tons of playtime in the yard, and plenty of extra love and treats. What really stood out was how comfortable and happy our pups were when we got back. You could tell they were not only well taken care of, but truly enjoyed their time with her. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, Paola is it. We would 100% book with her again.”
“Lauren is fantastic! We recently relocated to the area with three dogs and were a little nervous about finding someone new before our first vacation away. Lauren took the time to get to know our crew over a few weeks beforehand, which made her week-long stay a seamless transition for everyone. Our dogs are all different sizes and personalities, and she handled them beautifully — keeping them on their schedule and making them feel at ease. She sent daily updates and photos throughout the week, which was such a comfort. They absolutely adored her, which meant I could actually relax and enjoy our family vacation. We're so grateful to have found her!”

“Benjamin did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Riley. He was very quick to respond and was able to adjust when we had some last minute changes come up and still provided excellent care to our pup. Will definitely book Benjamin again in the future!”
“Alice may be the best pet sitter I've ever had! My cats warmed up to her immediately. She brought them toys! She sent pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She left my condo cleaner than I left it! Alice definitely went above and beyond to care for my pets and my home. I would certainly recommend her and would use her again.”
About: I did house sitting quite a bit after college through and recently got back into it — I have been house sitting recently through a different platform in the St. Pete/Tampa area and love it! (You can see some reviews from that platform in my gallery images). I grew up with German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy dogs that need real exercise. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats and older dogs as well, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different needs and energy levels. I also ran a pet sitting business in middle and high school, looking after neighbors’ dogs, cats and homes while they were away — it’s always been something I genuinely enjoyed. I’m very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it! I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to keep pets company throughout. I actually love dog walks as a reason to step away from the computer — it works out well for both of us. I’m doing in-home sitting, I treat your home with a lot of care. I’m very tidy and will leave everything exactly as I found it. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

Alyssa is simply the best dog sitter we've ever had! From day one, she clicked instantly with our Frenchies — and anyone who knows the breed knows they can be a handful! She's attentive, communicative, and genuinely loves them like her own. We always come home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and total peace of mind throughout our time away. If you're looking for someone who treats your dogs like family, look no further. Alyssa is the only person we trust with our girls, and we can't recommend her highly enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Emilia was absolutely amazing with my pets. She kept my dog overnight and made sure she had plenty of backyard time, love, and attention. She also visited my cats every day for a few hours and made sure they were comfortable, cared for, and never lonely. Her communication was great — she sent pictures and kept me updated through each day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely confident that my pets were in great hands. I would 100% book her again.
Caitlin was wonderful with our fur baby!! She kept us updated through out our entire trip with pictures and videos. She was on time and very professional. She will be our go to girl for all future trips. I would highly recommend Caitlin for any family or friends in the area!
This was our second time booking with Katie, and this stay was for a much longer international trip—9 nights in total. Knowing we’d be so far from home, and that getting back quickly would be difficult if anything went wrong, definitely gave me some anxiety beforehand. I’m happy to say that Katie once again exceeded our expectations. She took exceptional care of Fitz and our home, kept everything neat and tidy, communicated regularly throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and updates. Her reliability and attention to detail allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about how things were going at home. Katie has a wonderful, calming presence with animals and genuinely cares for them as if they were her own. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. We’ve even had family members watch Fitz in the past, and Katie unquestionably does a better job. 😂 We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and will absolutely book with her again.
Alix was so great with our hound, Mo. He can be a handful of emotion, but from the moment he met her, it was clear that she knew how to manage him. Alix was communicative throughout the 5-day stay and Mo seemed happy and healthy upon return. And I'm pretty sure the house was cleaner than we left it :) Would definitely book with Alix again.
Katie was so amazing with my dogs! She stayed at my house and sent lots of pics and updates and they seemed to have loved her bc they were cuddling her in every picture. She also left my house completely spotless which was a huge plus! I would highly recommend her and will def be using her again!!
