“Dana did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was traveling. She texted me pictures, kept open communication while I was away, and followed my care instructions closely. When I returned home my cat was happy and not stressed (as she can often become when we leave). I attribute this entirely on the love and care Dana gave her. I will definitely be using Dana again. Highly recommend.”

About: I love dogs so much I got one tatted on my chest!! I decided to start doin Rover because I just want to earn some extra money doing something that I love. I’m currently a student at Mines in golden as well as a football player up there. I don’t have a preference when it comes to what type of dogs I want to take care of. I love all dogs in any shape or size. I enjoy exercising and getting outside. I play football so I’m tough and I guarantee I can handle any dog you need me too. I used to have a 160 lb Rottweiler and before that was a 180lb French Mastiff. If there’s any other questions or concerns just let me know!! I currently work a full time job M-F but can be flexible with my hours per day. Typical day is 6-2 or 8-4 so it’s usually 8 hours minimum per day but can be flexible to accommodate puppy needs! I have a pit mix who receives the most love. He’s the only pup in the household so he is spoiled with attention. He’s picky on who he chooses for friends so I would prefer to watch pups outside of the home.

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.

About: I've been caring for dogs for 5+ years and have 3 years of professional boarding experience through Rover. My 3 year old Border Collie mix, Lyra, has been my best teacher. she's helped me learn how to manage high energy personalities, read canine body language, and understand what different dogs need to feel comfortable. Through working with various dogs and their families, I've developed a good eye for spotting anxiety triggers and helping nervous pups settle in. I'm a full-time architecture student at CU Denver with flexible availability for house sitting and dog walking. Since I split my time between Denver and Brighton, I can provide care in the Denver metro area. When I'm not in class, I'm fully available to give your pup my undivided attention, whether that's multiple potty breaks throughout the day, mid-day walks, or just hanging out on the couch during study sessions. Safety is my absolute top priority, which is why I believe in honest, open communication from the start. I know all dogs have their quirks, and that's completely okay! What matters is that I know about them upfront so I can create the safest, most comfortable environment for your pup. Before any booking, I'd love to chat about: Your dog's history with other dogs (any past incidents, even minor ones?) Triggers or situations that make them anxious or reactive Food, toy, or space guarding behaviors Crate training comfort level Any protective tendencies around their people For pullers, I encourage positive reinforcement with treats and such, it makes walks way more enjoyable for both of us! I'll send you daily photo updates so you always know your pup is happy and safe. My goal is for you to feel like you're leaving your dog with someone you completely trust.

About: Hi neighbors! I’m Jennifer, a dedicated and experienced animal lover with a strong background in professional dog handling and facility care at fast-paced daycares (like Camp Bow Wow and Lucky Dog), I know how to keep pups safe, happy, and well-cared for. Because my main morning schedule at a dog daycare wraps up early, I have open availability every afternoon for regular walks, midday potty breaks, and drop-in visits. Whether your dog has high energy to burn, needs a reliable midday walk while you're at work, or just some loving companionship, I bring a gentle, structured, and attentive approach to every visit. You’ll get reliable communication, complete peace of mind, and plenty of photo updates while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾✨ Let me know what you need and I can accommodate for you as needed! I’m excited to meet your fur baby and have a good time! I will keep your furbaby safe. Your pets day will be filled with exciting walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’ll make sure they stay active and happy!

About: Hi! My name is Ali and my husband, Corgi, Aussie and I just moved to Denver from Nashville, TN so I could fulfill my dream of being a flight attendant!

I respect all pet owners unique requests and needs for their pets and will follow instructions throughly!

About: Hi! I’m Loren 😇 I love all animals and I constantly have the worst case of PET FEVER, but unfortunately, I’m just not in a place where I can have a pet of my own 🥺…. Hence where you come in! I’m originally from AZ and moved here for work and I couldn’t bring my fur baby with me 🥺 I would love to be able to give all that love that I have in my heart to your furry loved ones and look after them as if they were my very own until your return. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and cats I’m familiar with after taking care of a few friends’ and families’ in the past. I’m willing to take care of ANY pet though! I’ve been around all animals growing up so I feel I’m capable to care for them, but any instruction/advice is happily welcomed! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry companions! I do work full-time, but I’m happy to check in on pets before/after I go in. My weekends are where I could spend the most time with them. Although, my work schedule isn’t too flexible, I’m willing to work around anything to make it the most comfortable for you and your pet. I live alone so if your pet is able to be alone for long periods of time while im at work, this would be the most ideal scenario. Otherwise, I would leave them in the crate while I’m out of the house.

About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and keep their dogs company while they're away. I also have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own by providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while following your pet's routine and any special instructions you provide. I work full-time during the weekdays (7:00 AM–3:30 PM), but I'm available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays. I make time every day to care for animals and will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll always communicate with you throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

I grew up with dogs, have watched my friends dogs and cats numerous times, and I am very patient with animals! I have a deep compassion and understanding for household pets of all shapes and sizes! I work from home and have a super flexible schedule so i can care for animals in my home or stay at others almost any time! My priority is the comfortability of you and your pet!

About: Hi Im Felicia & I understand that pets are people, and more importantly they are family!! They are welcomed & aloud on my bed and couch or wherever they feel comfortable & wanna hang out, but I also love exploring parks, rivers, small wilderness hikes, and plenty of outdoor fun to sniff out!!!! I really love being outdoors and cuddling too!! I love all animals. I am a Dog Mom of a Husky & Blue Heeler mix she is 3. I grew up on a farm and have had my own pets all my life, so I have life long experience with all types of animals. I feel very comfortable administering medications for those who need it too. I love to take walks to the nearby dog parks and parks frequently with my own Pup and have experience walking more than one pup at a time. My Pup is my Baby and my best friend, so I know how important it is to keep all these babies safe, fed, watered, entertained, cuddled, and loved while you are away. I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. I work 10 hrs shift 3 days a week I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free days out of the week for free time to spend with your babies. I'm off on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. I have a 3 year old spayed and trained female who has had all her shots. She gets along with all other Dogs and cats as well she loves friends she is a sweetheart and loves to play. She has lots of toys to share. When I am sitting I am not working at all so I can give 100 percent attention to pets. That means okay time, walk time, dog park time!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tampa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,299 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tampa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tampa. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.

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.
