“I’m so grateful to Madisyn for taking such great care of my dog Griffey while I was away! She provided updates and photos throughout his stay which I appreciated. Madisyn is kind and caring, and I knew my dog was in great hands with her. I definitely recommend Madisyn to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: Hello! I come from a law-enforcement background and am now transitioning into my true passion: caring for dogs. My goal is to make this my full-time career, and I bring reliability, responsiveness, and a high level of awareness to every walk and visit. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently transitioning careers, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be available when you and your pet needs me most. I’m able to accommodate weekday and weekend requests, and I’m happy to build my schedule around your routine. As I work toward making this my full-time career, I prioritize clear and transparent communication about my availability so you always know exactly what to expect. Your dog will be welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where they’ll never feel alone. I have a friendly lab mix named Cash, who loves keeping other dogs company and naturally adapts to their energy.
“Chante was great with my dog. She was very attentive and communicative. My dog was very well taken care of and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Katherine and her family went above and beyond with our dog. We never worried about anything and she shared updates daily. We really appreciate her help and will be using her again.”
“Jen was absolutely fantastic. She sent me photos regularly. Her and her family were doting on Alphie and made my heart so happy that he was in great care, from pup cups to long walks!”
“She is amazing with our very needy dog. She keeps us up to date on our trips so we do not worry about LadyBird. Her photos are great. We even used one of them for Holiday greetings to our kids on Christmas day.”
“10/10 recommend ! Took care of my best friend like her own. Sent me so many daily pictures and updates while I was away missing my girl. Couldn’t be happier :)”
“My frenchie is nuts with other dogs(can’t stop playing) and has separation anxiety the first night away from home and Taylor handled it well. I appreciate her service and would recommend her to anybody.”
“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.”
“Erika is amazing! My 2 dogs stayed with her for 3 days. She took great care of them and sent many photos of them playing, walking, eating and having fun! Highly recommend Erika to others that need someone to take care of their dogs.”

Hermun was fantastic. Will definitely use her again. Betty (my beagle) was well taken care of and felt comfortable at Hermun's home with her dog and the other dogs that were staying there. She provided updates and pictures regularly. Love that Hermun does a meet and greet before confirming the booking - it gave me and Betty a chance to ensure she was a right fit and made it easier for drop off as Betty had already been there once.
My fur baby had another great stay with Nicole! Nicole was super accommodating with my stay request. And as I experienced before she was, prompt with responding, great communication and shared photo updates. I definitely plan to book with Nicole again in the future.
Matt did an amazing job with my mini poodle. He responded quickly, was very friendly, and was flexible when I had family circumstances preventing me from picking up my dog on the initial intended date. He sent me lots of updates and pictures since it was my first time using the platform, and my sweet baby girl seemed like she really enjoyed herself. I would 100% recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Liliana was absolutely amazing! She had excellent communication from start to finish and kept me updated with messages and pictures of Nala throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Nala was well cared for and loved. When I picked her up, she smelled amazing and looked so happy! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be using Liliana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their fur baby! 🐾❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met her, we knew Luna was in great hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Luna wasn’t just being watched…she was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your dog like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Luna!
Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!
Naomi took great care of Zoey. I received several photos and updates during her stay. When we first arrived, Zoey walked right in and took to Naomi immediately which put me at ease since this was the first time they’d met. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!
Kamayla was absolutely amazing with my dog, Beau! I was away for several days, and she took great care of him, even with his separation anxiety. She kept me updated consistently with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about Beau’s well-being. I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Kamayla to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Tampa on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,722 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tampa. About 91% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
