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!
Manuela did an outstanding job caring for my dog while I was away. She kept me updated twice a day with thoughtful messages and pictures, letting me know how he was eating, his mood, how his walks went, and how he was doing overall. Those updates gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands. It’s obvious that Manuela genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with my dog again. Thank you, Manuela, for a job exceptionally well done!
We had a great experience with Jocelyn! Maverick was happy, well cared for, and it was clear he received lots of love and attention during his stay. She provided updates and pictures frequently, which is something that I looked forward to everyday while I was away. He unexpectedly had an upset stomach one night, and she handled everything with kindness, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable. I truly appreciated Jocelyn’s patience and communication through an unpleasant situation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and reliable sitter!
Sidney was just the sitter my cat needed. I reached out super last minute during a move and she happily took Atlas in for the week. He seemed to enjoy his stay so much I almost felt I was an inconvenience picking him up. If you need someone dependable that will show love to your little ones look no further. I will continue to utilize her services as long as she is providing them.
Ada is an ANGEL. She took amazing care of my dog Lucy for 4 days. On the last day, my flight was unexpectedly cancelled and she gladly kept Lucy an extra night and even drove to my house to get her more food since I didn’t pack enough for the extra day. I always feel so comfortable knowing my dog is in her care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
