“Yi Ling was so sweet and accommodating with our last-minute request. She and her mom took wonderful care of our dog and he seemed very content! We are already booking for his next stay. Thank you so much, Yi Ling!”
“Ashley and Jeremy did an amazing job with my dog. Constantly got updates from them and she looked so happy with them! No question I would book with them again, I certainly plan to! Thank you so much!!”
“We had a great experience boarding our two dogs with Stephanie. She took great care of them and sent pictures to keep us updated. She is very trustworthy, and her family was also helpful with the dogs. From the moment we met her family, our dogs felt at home.”
“Always great! Gabriela has taken such good care of my pup when we leave town. He loves seeing her and playing with her dogs! Super responsive and kind throughout. Highly recommend reaching out to her to sit your dog 😀”
“Timea kept me informed throughout my dog’s stay by sending me pictures and updates. My dog looked relaxed and well cared for when I picked him up. When I did a meet and greet with Timea, her interactions with my dog gave me peace of mind that she was a caring pet sitter and seeing my dog at pickup confirmed it. I will be booking Timea again.”
“Claudia was great with Sophie. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. Sophie had a great time playing in her backyard with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend her!”
“We were afraid to leave Colfax as we left the country for 11 days, but found Kysseria and her Mother to be attentive, caring, and constantly sending updates to us on our sweet girl. Colfax had a wonderful time playing with other dogs, being well loved by the family, and playing outside. Would absolutely use Kysseria and family again! Thank you so much!”
“Shelby was amazing!!! She took wonderful care of our dog and sent us daily pictures/updates. I am very hopeful that she is available the next time we go out of town. I would highly recommend her. ??”
“Carrie was great with our two dogs! I appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout our pups’ stay. We usually board them separately with friends so it was their first time staying together and we weren’t sure how they’d behave. Carrie’s experience with dogs was obvious and it made us feel much better about leaving our girls at her home. It was also a great chance for them to socialize with friendly pups. We would recommend her.”
“Rachelle and her husband took wonderful care of our two dogs. They were comfortable at their home and Rachelle sent us regular pictures and videos of our pups enjoying their time. We will utilize their services again!”
“Samantha is wonderful with our dogs and takes the time to understand both their needs and preferences. She truly cares about their safety and comfort, which gives us peace of mind and allows us to fully enjoy our time away. Our pups have stayed with her several times now, and they get excited every time we pull up to drop them off. Highly recommend!”
“We are very pleased with our 8 yr old Weim’s five day stay with Bill. Bill paid attention to our requests to keep Max on his special diet, and sent pictures to keep us informed of Max’s well being. We were looking for an in-home boarding experience for Max and this turned out perfect for our situation. Thank you to Bill!”
“Brookelin and her partner took excellent care of our dog over a long weekend. She has a great setup for multiple dogs where all of their needs can be met, and respected that my dog can be a little shy and nervous in new situations. I appreciated knowing my dog was safe and well cared for, and the cute photos and regular updates are always appreciated 😊”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved while we were away. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and everything was handled professionally. It’s obvious they genuinely care about animals. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup!”
“Treana went above and beyond when it came to taking care of our Brutus! We loved the consistency and overall care for Brutus and as well introducing him to some furry friends which was very much needed 😊! We definitely recommend treana and look forward to Brutus’s future care and needs 😊!”
About: Growing up my family has always had pets, usually a mixture of dogs and cats (with the occasional hamster or lizard!). My passion for animals grows more and more every day. As an adult, my husband and I have 4 dogs ranging from tiny to large who get along great with all other animals. We also have 3 cats who are very unbothered by dogs. I try to volunteer at the local shelter twice a week but we have a beautiful baby boy so I haven’t been in a little while. Taking care of pets is truly second nature to me, I haven’t ever lived without pets and have always had a passion for them. Even as a little girl I always wanted to be involved in our pet’s care tasks. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a good place for your beloved pet to stay while you’re away, or to find help during the day while you’re at work. I hope that I can be one to relieve some of that stress and worry. Our pets are the most precious members of our family. I know that each individual dog/cat has their own needs and that different things work for different pets. I am very flexible and will always prioritize taking care of your pet the way that you do. Pet care is always part of my daily routine, I’m a stay at home mom to my beautiful baby boy, as well as to my 4 pups and 3 kitties. It is so intertwined with my life that I would make your fur baby feel right at home. I am home 24/7 so no need to worry about your pup or kitty being home alone in a strange place. I have a fully fenced yard and 4 other dogs. One of our dogs is a tiny senior (16 years old!), and the 3 other are middle aged, they love to play but aren’t too high energy if your pup doesn’t feel like playing. During feeding times I make sure that no one feels they have to compete by feeding everyone at once and facing them away from each other. I provide lots of toys and treats (with owners permission of course!) and cuddles (again with owners permission). I will be happy to communicate as much or as little as you need, if you want daily pictures, or even a few pictures a day, I am more than happy to do so! For pups that I’m just checking on, walking, or letting out to potty, all of the same things apply :)
About: My family always had corgis and doxies growing up, so I have a soft spot for the short legged babies, but I have never met a dog I didn't like. I have cared for puppies, special needs dogs, as well as pets with end of life care. Pets have given me so much happiness in life it is my pleasure when I can give something back. I work full time from home and am able to be present with my pets all day. We have regular breaks in the backyard, plenty of toys and snacks to spare! (Where diets allow) I keep my pets secured at all times. Our yard is fully fenced in and dogs are supervised with all outdoor activity. We have spare crates and plenty of room if extra space is needed. Our pets are very friendly and love to play but we are more than happy to provide quiet spaces as needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tampa home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tampa.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Tampa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
