“Victoria was amazing and kept me informed and sent me pics of Garfield. I truly appreciated that as it was our first time being separated for that length of time. I’m sorry that it took him so long to warm up to her, but I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely request Victoria in the future!”


About: I have had animals my entire life, both dogs and cats. Growing up I was taught the responsibility of taking care of all of our pets. I understand the love and attention they deserve and sometimes that life gets hard and we need help. I currently have a 13 year-old cat named Henry who is my entire world. I would love to be able to help you and take care of your babies so you have the peace of mind, knowing that they are in good hands. I am currently available full time. I can come see your pets and walk them pretty much anytime that’s needed as long as it’s requested. I do have a small fenced in backyard and a huge green belt and park near my house. My cat only goes into the backyard supervised though.
“Matthew was exceptional! He kept us informed everyday he visited and checked in on the last day. Maui enjoyed his company and we were grateful for his help on such short notice. We would definitely hire him again. Thank you!”

About: I have been around many different kinds of pets all of my life! I am excited to take care of your babies! I have a dog and two cats myself. I am currently working full time, but I am available on the weekends. I can potentially be available the weekdays after 6pm if needed. :) I can easily make an animal feel comfortable and confident in any environment, I don’t offer at home pet care, so they will be safe!
About: I have experience caring for different kinds of animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication when needed, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I always try to treat them with love, care, and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need every day. I care for pets by following their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them lots of attention and care. I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: i have been a cat owner and lover for many many years as well as helping out a dog walking business where I walked multiple dogs a day. I learned the in's and out's of the dog walking business and what it takes to care for dogs! I also love cats! I am currently looking for a new full-time job. I have the time to watch and help anyone with their animals while they are busy. I have two cats at home. They have lots of room to roam as well as an outdoor deck to run around outside and an outdoor bathroom for them.
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a part time student who is studying biology, and when I’m not studying I’m a vet assistant working in Boulder! I can do everything from administer medication to belly rubs. I love pets and have two dogs of my own, and just recently moved to Boulder and love the area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed. It is also important to me that the veterinarians phone number would be given when staying overnight in case of an emergency.
“So happy with Katy. Katy was on time respectful and accommodating. She took good care of our two cats for 6 days and 5 nights. Lots of pictures and play time. She was very patient and let them come to her in their time. The house was clean, bed clothes and towels washed. She even made the bed so when we got home in the evening we didn’t have to do anything but go to bed. After Katy left the shy cat walked around the corner and looked down the stairs for her. Katy left a lasting impression on all. Katy gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip. So glad we found her and will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks again Katy.”

About: What sets me apart is the amount and variety of hands-on animal care experience I have. I’ve worked in a boarding and daycare facility, worked at a veterinary office, volunteered at an animal shelter, and worked at an endangered animal sanctuary. I’ve also had the opportunity to run my own animal rescue. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with very different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pets, shy or nervous animals, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m observant, patient, and take animal safety seriously. I understand that pets aren’t just animals people own—they’re family. My goal is to give every pet individualized care, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also know how to give medication baths and nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the day to walks, drop-ins, feeding, and keeping pets company. I’m also comfortable adjusting my routine to match each pet’s normal schedule and needs. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and I’m comfortable with everything from walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, and basic care to keeping their spaces clean and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m used to paying attention to the little things—each pet has their own routine and personality, and I like taking the time to learn what makes them happy and comfortable. I’m flexible with my schedule and able to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and affection they need rather than treating every visit the same. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Declan was amazing! Came through on a very last minute emergency booking and was perfect. The cats were so well taken care of and Declan was the ideal houseguest. We will absolutely be calling on Declan next time we’re out of town!”

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets since I was a preteen growing up on CO’s Western Slope! I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets: from 100lb+ Bernese Mountain Dogs to 5lb Chihuahuas, from puppies/kittens to seniors, from active runners to couch potatoes! I have worked with multi-pet and multi-species households including, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I have experience administering specialty diets, complex medication regimes and accommodating disabled pets. I work remotely and on a flexible contract basis which means I am able to fit my schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s needs. My pet care philosophy is to prioritize safety, health/wellness and engaging fun. I want pet owners to have peace of mind that their beloved companions are thriving in my care.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.
About: I love and adore animals! From pet sitting for neighbors while growing up to caring for my dog I enjoy spending time with furry friends. The love that pets so openly share is a gift to cherish and an example to live by. They connect us to the nature of simply being alive and how to enjoy the present moment. I enjoy spending time going for daily walks with dogs. As well as stopping to pet any cats I see along the way. When a friendly furry comes my way I always make time to pet and talk to them. When I live with animals I make sure to include them in my routine by taking them out in the morning and the evening before bed. I make sure their water bowl is always filled. I ensure they are fed appropriately throughout the day. Allowing them sufficient time in the yard and taking them for frequent walks so they can take care of their business is always key. Many dogs love being interactive. So I often take them running or play games with them outside. Bringing them out into nature for hikes is always fun.
About: I have taken care and love dogs since I was a very young age. I am stern yet playful with all pets. I have walked, fed, bathed, and giving medication to animals before. I am a gig worker. So I have tons of availability and time to take care of your pet. I'm available daily and all week long. I live very close to a dog park as well as tons of walking and exercise room to take care of any dog that may enter my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tampa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
