Top rated Tampa-Bayshore Gardens house sitters

“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.”


“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”


“Rachel watched our dog at our home over a two week period and did an exceptional job. She is trustworthy and went above and beyond by keeping us updated, keeping our house tidy, and most importantly giving Ziggy extra love and attention. This is our first time using the house sitting option and will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”


“Jen has been so kind to our two animals. She has been great with their special needs of pilling and monitored feeding. When I returned home after my dog and cat spending a week with Jen, they were happy and healthy. 10/10 I will rebook with Jen.”


“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.”



“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”


“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”


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.

“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!!”


About: I treat every dog like family, providing a safe, loving, and playful environment. I focus on personalized care, constant attention, and consistent routines for comfort. I am a student taking remote classes, which means I’m home most of the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and regular bathroom breaks. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer a calm and safe environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure while you're away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help reduce stress. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure the pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Christie did an awesome job watching my two dogs for a long weekend! They both loved her, she communicated with pics and messages, and she left the house in perfect condition. I can't wait to use Christie again to watch the pups and highly recommend her!”


“Grace was amazing! She was communicative and took great care of our home while we were away. Our fur babies were extremely happy in every update she gave! I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”


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.

Tampa-Bayshore Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
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

Angela was amazing with our two dogs, Jeyko and Jax! She took the time to visit beforehand, which really helped put us at ease. While we were away, her communication was excellent. She sent frequent updates and tons of cute photos so we always knew our pups were happy and cared for. We came home to two content dogs and a spotless house. We’ll be booking with Angela again soon!

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!

Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.

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!

Joe was excellent. He stopped by for a meet-and-greet a week prior to the stay and was attentive to my concerns regarding my dog’s anxiety. He handled everything with care and professionalism. Throughout the stay, he provided frequent and detailed updates, and we returned to find the house in even better condition than when we left which was a blessing to see after a very early morning flight.

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!
