“Im so glad i found ms cece to take care of my Basha. My dog actually looked sad when she left ms cece’s house, probably because of all the good memories she gained from ms. cece’s care and attention, not to mention the loads of play time my dog had with the others. I will definitely have my Basha stay with her again whenever im in Tampa.”
“Maxine was wonderful and very caring with my boy Milo. She took plenty of pictures, videos, and kept me updated. She really does care about the animals she takes care of and we definitely will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Perfect! Very communicative, send updates and pictures everyday and perfect location, our dog had separation anxiety at the beginning but she managed to calm her down. Highly recommend”
“Wish I could give more stars! Eric responded super quickly and was available for last minute boarding. Both my lab and mini dachshund loved spending time at his place and playing in the huge yard! I got pictures and updates daily. He was super helpful and was able to extend my trip and keep my pups longer when something came up! Will definitely be using him again”
“Cynthia was easy to coordinate with and really helped me out by watching my cat(Mr. Stitches) given a short notice. She sent me daily photo updates where in Mr. Stitches looked very much at ease. I would trust Cynthia again and recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.”
“We had a last minute issue with boarding Zoey for the holiday. A friend at work mentioned looking into Rover.com and I am so glad that I did. Hermun responded that she had room and that Zoey could come that evening. The first photo Hermun sent to us, I swear Zoey was smiling in her backyard! Zoey lost her best friend, Hogan a St. Bernard, early last year so she can be slightly territorial initially. Hermun was able to ease her initial anxiety and give her a lovely warm home to spend the weekend in with some cuddly buddies. She was in contact with us all weekend, letting us know how Zoeay was doing as well as with some friends she had made. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Rose was an excellent sitter for Sophie! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of picture updates. Upon picking Sophie up, we could tell that she had made a connection with Rose. Would absolutely have Sophie stay with her again!”
“This was the first time in 8 years that I've ever boarded my dog and it was a fantastic experience! My dog was well-loved and spoiled all week ;-) Each morning and night I received new photos of him having a blast. I will book Marcos again for sure, and I would feel comfortable recommending Marcos and his lovely family to others!”
“I always have total peace of mind when I’m traveling because I know my little Charlie is in the best hands with her. He’s so happy and well cared for every time. Thank you for making it so easy to be away!”
“Sam was once again amazing! He was able to accommodate an additional night at the last minute due to travel complications. Harley has the best time when he is staying with Sam and Moose. 10/10 will for sure use Sam again”
“AK was amazing. Communicated very well with me and Max was a very very happy dog when I picked him up. That means he felt secure and safe. Will definitely use her again! And she gave him a little toy!”
“Tim just watched my special-needs dog Roxy and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tim was caring, communicative, and very engaged. Roxy needs help to walk so his extra attention and care was important. He hit a home run for sure! He sent many pictures and text updates. And he was very flexible when our pick-up schedule had to extend shortly. I would highly recommend him and will hope to board with him again in the future.”
“Chelsea and her son did a fantastic job of taking care of our Murray! She was great with the updates and Murray seemed like he made himself right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chelsea and plan to user her again in the future!”
“Lexi was really great. She was really cooperative with the timings and accommodating. She was very consistent with sending pictures and Willow was also very happy when she got back. She also took Willow on long walks and frequent walks.”

I’m comfortable with all ages—from playful puppies who need a little extra patience and training to sweet seniors who move at a slower pace. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Kalyn was wondering with my two small, older dogs. We used her a bunch of times a few years ago before she relocated. She messaged us a few months back that she had moved back into town and our since dog sitter was unavailable and Kalyn stepped in wonderfully. We will definitely be contacting her again!
We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

We are beyond happy we found Patti because Nikita was treated with all the love and care! Patti always communicated with us and sent us updates throughout the day with lots of photos. She followed Nikita’s regular routine and was very kind to get Nikita’s favorite goat milk for the morning. We could tell Nikita was very happy and comfortable staying with Patti and she got along so well with sweet Rosie! They are now best buds. We really appreciate Patti, and we look forward to Nikita’s future stays.
Virginia was a WONDERFUL sitter—if I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, but won’t be my last! I expressed my anxieties of being away from Bij on a work trip, and she eased them all. I got regular and often updates—she truly treated and loved Bij as if he were her own. And her fur baby is just as precious—Cozy and Bijou became best friends! From letting him sleep in a bigger bed, to sharing all Cozy’s toys, to regular walks and playing all the fetch he could handle—Bijou was on a vacation! Virginia is kind and communicative, and I will happily be booking with her again! ❤️
