“Haley was absolutely wonderful! We had to extend our time with her unexpectedly, and she accommodated us willingly—even on short notice. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and we’re so grateful for her support.”
“Kory was great and provided wonderful updates! Jack is reactive with other dogs, and Kory handled him very well. Jack seemed completely relaxed when I picked him up!”
“I only have words of gratitude, my kitty Magic is very nervous and shy, I went on a trip for 5 days and this family put a lot of love into her care, I will repeat with them, every time I travel because they made me feel very calm knowing that my kitty was safe”
“Autumn was fantastic with Hadley. She kept me updated with how she was doing and it looked like my baby was having a good time playing with her dog. I will definitely call on Autumn again when the need arises.”
“Eugenia and her daughter gave such tender loving care to our dog! Even when we dropped him off, I could tell he really loved them. They kept us informed with lots of photos and text messages. I would trust my dog with them again any time!”
“Bella was so great with my pup Gino. She sent so many photos and updates while I was away and he came back to me happy and healthy. I will definitely be a return customer and can confidently recommend her to others!”
“Melinda and David were so understanding of our dog’s needs. He is very nervous around new people and just needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let him warm up. They immediately understood this and did everything we asked to make him and us feel comfortable.”
“Grace was awesome - she took amazing care of my dog and was in great communication with me the entire time. I felt at ease and she was very flexible with me as my plans were changing for drop off and pickup. Her family took awesome care of my dog - would book in the future!”

“Jocelyn is a great pet sitter! Our 7 yrs old Shih Tzu stayed with her for two weeks and he truly felt like home, sleeping on her couch, having daily walks and playing with his toys. She’s sweet and kind and sends lots of pictures to put our hearts at ease. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“Katherine is great. I love how attentive and caring she is to our dog. This was our second time that he stayed with them and we plan on scheduling more visits in the future. I highly recommend!!!”

“Our original sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. I contacted Stephanie less than 24 hrs in advance, and she was able to accommodate our stay. My dog Loki can be very timid at first in new environments, but with time was able to open up within Stephanie’s home. She makes sure to send daily photos, updates, and also will take your dog for daily walks. I felt extremely comfortable having Loki there, and would book again in the future!”
“It was an amazing experience having Samuel watch Josie. She had an amazing time and it was great to receive pictures updates throughout her stay. We would highly recommend again!”

Samuel was amazing! I truly have nothing but great things to say. My pup had such a great time playing with the other dog and absolutely loved having a big yard to run around in. Samuel sent me multiple updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind leaving my baby with him. I will 100% be using Samuel again to watch my pup!
Erika (and her cute family) were exactly what we were looking for. Our 15 year old fragile Maltese was lovingly cared for by Erika. We received daily photos and updates. She always replied quickly and was so flexible with our pick up and drop off. We would give 10 stars if we could and would 100% use Erika again. Thank you Erika!
Ada and her husband provided exceptional care for our 10-year-old mini Goldendoodle, Lola. Their apartment was clean and the location is perfect for river walks and outings around Armature Works. Ada followed all instructions regarding Lola's daily routine, including thunderstorm comfort measures, and provided regular updates, including messages, videos, and photos. We felt completely reassured that Lola was safe and comfortable, which was clearly confirmed by the photos of her sleeping contentedly with her legs in the air. We highly recommend Ada for professional pet care and will absolutely be booking her services again in the future.
I cannot say enough about Hannah !!! Needing to find a dog sitter for my 2 fur babies in a new environment of which I was unfamiliar was daunting. My lucky day was when I came upon her profile ! She was such a help to me as I was preparing to fly out of State for my daughter’s wedding .Picked up my babies that morning when I was leaving and did it giving me plenty of time to not stress out. She sent pictures and the nicest messages. She absolutely loved my babies and they loved her ! She returned them the morning after I flew back. She had bathed them and everything ! I am so happy to have found her !! You will be too ! 🤩❤️
Virginia gave us peace of mind knowing that Bear was in excellent hands while we were away for the weekend. The videos, pictures and clear communication allowed us to enjoy our time away from Tampa. Bear got along so well with her pup Cozy! We will definitely be reaching back to Virginia!
Rover Review We had such a great experience with her watching Lennie and Luther! She sent us wonderful updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also loved that she let the dogs play and spend time together. They clearly had a great time! When we picked them up, they came home happy, relaxed, and somehow smelling amazing 😂. It was obvious they were well cared for and loved while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

There are 3,754 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tampa. About 92% of Tampa sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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 FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
