“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!”

Long morning walks, great yard, and the kids made her feel her right at home-and they had plenty of blankies to share! Lots of pictures and great communication during the visit. Highly recommend. Definitely gonna be back!!”
About: Hi! I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Tampa. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been taught how to deal with all things dog! I love staying active so dog walking is the perfect job for me! I enjoy walking my dogs, playing with them, and overall making sure they're being taken care of and I'd love to do the same with your furry friends. At home I have 3 dogs so I'm used to being around them 24/7 and being their care taker. The last couple of years my family and I have also fostered a couple dogs, which has given me the opportunity to gain experience. My main priority is making sure your pets are happy and healthy while you are out of the house! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! As a graduate student I spend a lot of time studying at home. I am very open on weekends and would love to watch your dogs to get a good break from my school work! I have a fenced in area at my apartment specifically made for dogs. The area around is perfect to take long walks and get out in the sunshine! I love sticking to schedules and making sure your dog is comfortable with their normal daily activities!
“Bre was absolutely incredible with our dog. She’s extremely communicative with multiple updates and pictures daily. Our’s and her dog, Marco, got along great and our dog can’t wait for us to leave town again.”
“Samuel took wonderful care of Coco. Communication was great from the start, and he kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. His home and location were perfect and made drop-off easy, and Coco was comfortable right away. She’ll definitely be back—she already misses him!”
“Astro stayed with Susy for 5 days and he had the best time! I could tell he was happy and comfortable. Lots of pictures and updates which I appreciated a lot. She was also very flexible even with my flight delays. Thank you again Susy + Ellie! Astro will be back soon :)”
“Janet took excellent care of our dear Teddy. She was our first sitter through this app and I couldn’t be more pleased. Every day she would send me pictures keeping me updated. Thank you for taking such good care of our little one! Would definitely book again in the future ?”
“Ada is truly wonderful with our little girl! Our dog, Nutmeg, is usually very shy and takes a while to trust new people. We were amazed at how quickly she warmed up to Ada and felt comfortable in her home. Ada cared for her on back-to-back weekends, and it’s clear Nutmeg is not only happy but completely at ease with her and is always excited to spend time with her!”
Tampa pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was very lucky to find Sofia to watch my puppy Ruby. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Ruby was being taken care of quite well and that they had a lot of fun together. Normally when Ruby is with someone else in a strange environment, she doesn't eat normally, but judging by what was left over, she pretty much ate normally. I will definately ask Sofia to watch Ruby the next time I go on vacation and need a dog sitter.
Taylor was fantastic! She was able to take my golden retriever on short notice, and throughout his stay she sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear he was having a great time and was being well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Thanks to Hermun for taking great care of my beagle, Buddy. She communicated well and sent many updates and photos. It was my first time using Rover but Hermun made it easy to feel comfortable leaving. And Buddy loved having another beagle to play with. Would book with her again.
I have an overly affectionate Bernedoodle that could easily be too much for some people but Emily was so good with her. She gave me regular updates and even some solid feedback about how we might make overnights go even smoother. Our dogs are like our children so it’s important to find someone that you trust. I highly suggest you consider Emily for your dogs care
Meghan did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my cat, Star! 🌟 From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly easy to talk to. She sent thoughtful daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how comfortable and happy Star looked the entire time. You could genuinely tell from the updates and photos that he felt safe, relaxed, well-fed, and truly cared for. When I got back, he was calm, well-adjusted, and clearly had been in great hands. Meghan followed all instructions perfectly and made the entire experience completely stress-free. I would 100% trust her with Star again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter. 10/10 experience — no complaints at all. Thank you so much, Meghan! 💛
