About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.
“As a dog owner, I can't express enough how grateful I am to Sarah and Alvin for watching over my puppy Mia for the second time. They truly went above and beyond to ensure Mia's comfort and happiness while I was away. From the moment they arrived, Mia's tail was wagging non-stop, indicating her excitement to see them again. It was clear that she formed a strong bond with them during her previous sitting. Sarah and Alvin were incredibly attentive to Mia's needs, providing her with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. They even sent me regular updates and photos, which eased my mind and allowed me to fully present at work. When I arrived home, Mia was happy and fully ready for bed. I highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking for trustworthy and loving caregivers for their furry friends.”
“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”
“Amy took wonderful care of our high energy pup ( and kitty) while we were out of town! She sent plenty of pictures/ updates and we came back to our house cleaner than we left it. We will 100% book her again and highly recommend Amy for any pet needs!”
“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”
“This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.”
“I have two rescue dogs that I adopted and have always worried about leaving them with anyone other than family members. They are quite shy and nervous around strangers so I was very hesitant to try Rover.com. Rebecca met with us two times to get the know the girls before my trip. She was very sweet and relaxed and made the dogs feel as comfortable as possible before my trip. My home and dogs were very well taken care of and I feel like we gained a new friend. I will definitely request Rebecca for my next get away.”
About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.
“I had a last minute trip to visit family and Haley was very accommodating while watching our puppy. She was nice enough to water all of our indoor and outdoor plants and send us plenty of update pictures. Definitely recommend.”
About: I had dogs growing up and used to cat sit for my neighbors. I taught my dogs to open their cages and other small tricks. I just graduated from college and am currently hunting for jobs. I plan to spend at least four days a week caring for animals in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way’s preferred. Caged, free roaming, etc. I’m willing to work with whatever makes my clients most comfortable.
“Becky is a Doggy sitter SuperStar! She is extremely attentive to my fur babies. She keeps me regularly updated with pics and videos which makes me feel so secure when I am away. We just absolutely love Becky!!! She has a sincere love for pets, I am so thankful we found a responsible and friendly as Becky!”
About: I have experience with multi-dog households, senior dogs, and puppies. I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom — if my dog even sneezes twice she’s going to the vet. I work a full-time hybrid job and I’m at work between the hours of 8:30-4:30 pm. I can work evenings and do overnight stays during the week. On weekends, I’m available all day. I’m familiar with crate training, fenced and unfenced yards, leash training and dog walking. I grew up with German shepherds and I currently own a mini Aussie. I have a crossbody, hands free leash but I have also used retractable leashes and 4-6’ leashes. I’ve found 2 stray dogs in the past and successfully brought them to their owners. I also found a pet tortoise one time and cared for him for two days before finding the owner. I’ve administered medication to my own dogs and other people’s dogs before.
“Susy was great and available for a last minute dog sitting! She sent us so many cute pics and videos of our girl. Gave her all the cuddles she needed!!! Will def use Susy again!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm the go-to for friends and family when looking for pet-care and I'm no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. I work freelance in Tampa, and live in Melbourne when I'm not working. When in Melbourne I can walk, house-sit, and play with your pet, however when I'm in Tampa, my time during the day is sparse. I can walk, house-sit, play with, and feed your pet. I love taking dogs to the dog park or the beach by my house. I'm more than happy to perform any chores you need for your pet.

From first contacting her she was very accommodating for my pets schedules and dietary restrictions. While I was away she not only gave me updates on how they were doing, but also sent some great pictures. It’s always great peace of mind to know your pets are in good hands when you’re out of town. I’ll be using Rebecca again in the future, and recommend her to any of my family/friends.”

Ayla was amazing!! She watched my dog (Morty) for 4 nights and did a great job. She sent updates throughout the days and went out of the way to get my dog some chicken when he was feeling great. She left my house very tidy and Morty very happy. I highly recommend her!
Sydney was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to my pets’ needs. I felt 100% confident leaving my animals in her care — and they absolutely loved her! She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She didn’t just stop at feeding and walking — Sydney went the extra mile with cuddles, playtime, and making sure each of my pets felt loved and comfortable. It was clear she truly cared about them as if they were her own. Not only did she take phenomenal care of my animals, but she also looked after my home with the utmost respect. I came back to a clean, well-kept space and happy pets
Michele was amazing. She gave my puppy Lila a grand adventure while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to keep me informed. I know my pup was in great hands and looked so happy in all of her pictures. I’m so lucky to have found Michele to house and dog sit for me, she made it less stressful and easy! Will definitely use her again!
Paige & Nathan were absolutely wonderful house sitters for our two golden retrievers, Parker and Jackson! They were communicative, respectful of our home, and most importantly, gave our pups so much love and attention. We came home to two very happy dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable sitters!
Nusa was an amazing pet and house sitter while we were gone! She took such good care of my babies and even did some extra cleaning around the house! She sent pictures every day, which we loved and we were so assured that our pets were getting the best care!
Ariana did a great job of watching my dogs and taking care of my home! All of the things I asked of her, brining in packages and mail, filing up pool, etc on top of taking care of the dogs- she did it all. She also sent pictures and was very responsive to texts. Will definitely rebook!
