“We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)”

“Isabel did an amazing job with my puppy! We did a meet & greet before booking so I knew she was in great hands. She was communicative, flexible & provided lots of pictures. Would recommend!”


“Ben was easy to communicate and coordinate with on a last-minute trip out of state. My newly adopted cat was not used to a visitor in the home and hid under the bed, but Ben talked with him about his day and brought him favorite treats to the edge of the bed, helping to familiarize himself and gain trust over the week.”

“We had an amazing experience with Carley!! She came to meet Bernie before our trip, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout our vacation, she was incredibly responsive and sent detailed daily recaps with adorable photos. Her communication was excellent, we loved that she checked in whenever she had questions and we always felt Bernie was in the best hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We absolutely plan to use Carley again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!!”

Tampa-Bayshore Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carley did an amazing job; she took such good care of kaiya! Always keeping us informed of her drop in visits and walks. We felt incredibly comfortable during our trip knowing kaiya was in such great hands. Definitely would have her watch Kaiya in the future!

Karin was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was communicative, attentive, and even vacuumed up for me at the end of her stay without my asking. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future. She definitely eased my mine as I was traveling out of town for a wedding!

Sophia was awesome with our girls! They loved her daily visits and we loved getting her cute little messages sent from the cats’ pov. It’s always hard to leave our girls but it was a great peace of mind knowing that Sophia has fostered and cared for cats previously and treats her own fur baby like the queen she is! We highly recommend Sophia, she is a very dedicated pet sitter and owner.

Emrick took such good care of our cats while we were away! They are relatively new additions to the household and this was the first time we were going to be gone for an extended period. We were also new to Rover and she took the time to explain how it works, what her process is, and what to expect. Everything was perfect! She kept the litter box tidy, the food bowls filled, and the water refreshed every day while we were gone. She even played with them to make sure they got some exercise and attention. We loved getting pictures of them after each visit! We are so glad to have found Emrick here on Rover and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Amazing experience - Lea dropped in to take care of my cat who’s been having some health issues while I was gone for the day and night. I felt super safe and comfortable around her around her as a person; as well as her experience owning both cats and dogs — would definitely book her again!

Emily is the absolute best! I just went to Europe - absolutely terrified she would bring up random BS that she couldn't walk Dallas etc. when I had no options to do anything when I was that far away She handled everything seamlessly! Book her immediately! Shes a college student thats on point!
