“Wonderful sitter! Shelby helped me in a pinch and it worked out great. I have a “scaredy cat” but Shelby surprisingly lured him out. I left a note and got all my baby’s routines communicated and he made sure to follow them. I will always use Shelby unless he changes because now he’s perfect for my cat.”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter for a local pet sitting company. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve also had the privilege of fostering animals, which has given me even more experience understanding their unique needs. I’m a proud cat mom to two cats of my own and know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, whether that means going on walks, giving lots of love and attention, keeping up with their routines, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and love starting my mornings with walks, so I’m available for morning dog walks and drop-in visits. My full-time career is in real estate, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and work on the go. I’m able to build pet care into my day and provide reliable, loving attention while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to making part of my routine. I primarily care for pets in my client’s home, where I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know pets feel safest in their own environment, so I follow their normal feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owners. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, dogs that need medication, and dogs with seizure disorders. I also have a dog child that is a mini Goldendoodle, Clover, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work from home while going to school full time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule that lets me give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to stick to their routine. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ** I will consider long term pet/house sitting by request ** I believe pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walks to medications, crate time, playtime, and any other preferences you have to help them feel comfortable and at home.

About: Hello, potential new friend, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I regularly puppy-sit guide dogs in training and have been educated on the specific standards and routines they must follow. This experience has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and responsible pet care. Dogs and pups will always have close supervision, which is why I only like to pup sit two dogs at a time for an intimate sitting experience. I know all the nearby dog-friendly places to go. At night, I love cuddling up with pets. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly. I am ready and prepared to host your puppy. I even have a puppy first aid kit in our house, and our vet is less than a 5 min drive away, just in case. As you can see dogs are my passion and I will care for your pooch with love and kindness. Choose Sully & I Pet Care* for the trusted love and care that you know your dog deserves. *Sully from “Sully & I” has crossed the rainbow bridge I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can closely follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, playtime, medication, and rest routine. I also have availability for daytime, evening, weekend, and some last-minute requests. My home is currently pet-free, so visiting dogs and cats can enjoy a calm environment without having to adjust to resident animals. Pets are welcome on the sofa and are encouraged to relax and make themselves comfortable. I provide close supervision, keep doors and entryways secure, and carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prefer to care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one receives plenty of individual attention.
“Iuliia goes above and beyond for you and your pet. She is sweet and easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of Lalo during my birthday trip. You made me feel at ease.”
“Addison was so sweet and fast with her responses. She arrived on time and followed instructions thoroughly, & although my girl has a lot of anxiety she was calm and comfortable enough to go for a short walk with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy!”
About: I absolutely love being a dog sitter! I have been a pet sitter for puppies through senior aged dogs. There's nothing better than taking dogs on hikes and letting them explore the great outdoors. I enjoy walking and hiking with them, and seeing them get excited about new trails is the best part. I also love just hanging out and playing with them—dogs genuinely make me happy! Whether we’re going for a fun hike or having a play session at the park, I make sure every pup has a great time! I work from home, so I have free time during the day to go walk your pup! I carve out time every day to go walk and would love to walk with your dog! I also am available to stay nights if need be. Whether you’re away for the day or traveling, I provide reliable and loving care for your pets. As a pet sitter, I offer personalized attention, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure in the familiar surroundings of your home. I’ll keep your pets active, happy, and entertained, following their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and rest. For dog walking, I provide energizing walks tailored to your dog’s pace and preferences. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure, your dog will get the exercise and fresh air they need, all while staying safe and happy. I strive to build trust with both you and your pets, making sure every visit feels like a little extra love from home!
“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”
“Jordan is amazing! This was my second time booking with her and this time for recurring drop ins. She is great at communication and loving towards my Koko! Will be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Isabel was amazing. She came over to meet my cats before I left and they were instantly in love with her, which is not their norm. Usually, my older cat is skittish and standoffish, but he loved her immediately. She took such amazing care of them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I came home to no anxiety from my cats, which is super rare. 11/10. My partner and I are going to call her every time we leave town.”
“Jennifer was awesome! We had a very last minute work schedule conflict and my boyfriend and I both weren’t going to be able to feed our dog at his normal breakfast time. Jennifer was so flexible and awesome and pulled through with a last minute booking for us to give us peace of mind that his normal feeding schedule wouldn’t be impacted by our crazy work schedules. 10/10 service and would book again!”
“Beth is simply the best. She always takes the best care of our Emma and when my mom is visiting, her dog too. We feel extremely lucky to have Beth take care of our girl.”
“Amanda was amazing! My kitties are usually shy but they warmed up to her immediately and even wanted belly rubs. She responded immediately and was super friendly. Would absolutely recommend having her watch your pets!”

I was very happy with Naomi’s timeliness, consistent communicate, and obvious care for animals. She cared for my very senior kitty and was able to administer medications, take extra precautions, and be mindful of her quirks and disabilities. I looked forward to seeing all the photos she sent every day she cared for my kitty!
Bekah was thorough and caring towards my two cats. I received pictures and videos with each visit to update me regarding my cats. From the pictures, I could immediately tell how much care and love Bekah gave to the cats. Highly recommend Bekah! Will definitely book again if I am away

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tampa on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,691 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tampa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
