“Naomi is a hard-working, communicative professional that I would absolutely recommend to any of my friends or family to care for their pets. I was badly injured at the start of the year and needed help cleaning my two guinea pigs' enclosure, a unique request for an app that centers around dogs and cats. She wasn't phased at all by shaking out their mats, sweeping, and starting laundry, and she often left the area far cleaner than I did when I was previously doing the work myself. She put a lot of care into looking after my animals and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. She was so wonderful, I asked her to continue coming twice a week even when I recovered from my injuries. I only wish I could bring her with me to the new city I'm moving to. Thank you Naomi!”


About: I’m a reliable, experienced dog sitter who genuinely loves animals. I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for over 15 years, and my 13+ years as a nanny have made me patient, attentive, and highly dependable. I’m available for drop-in visits to let your pets out, walks, and house sitting, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet you and your puppies’ needs whenever you may need help. My availability is mainly Monday through Friday, but I can be flexible depending on your schedule and your pets’ routines or any specific care needs. When I house sit, I focus on keeping your pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I also keep your home clean, secure, and well looked after, bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything is just as you left it. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.
“Chloe was friendly and took great care of my kitty! I got multiple cute pictures of him getting treats and played with as requested. I would definitely book her again!”

About: We love dogs! We lost our fur baby and miss having a four-legged fur friend around. We will treat your dog like our own. My husband has fostered over 20 dogs and we had our mix for over 8 years before losing her to lymphoma. Prior to that I had a Great Dane for 11 years. We have recently cared for friends and neighbors' dogs. I am recently retired and my husband works part time so we have plenty of time to shower your pet with attention and as many walks as they want! We have a fenced yard and are conveniently located steps away from a dog park if your dog prefers being social. We live in a beautiful, quiet, pedestrian friendly neighborhood.
“Wonderful sitter! Shelby helped me in a pinch and it worked out great. I have a “scaredy cat” but Shelby surprisingly lured him out. I left a note and got all my baby’s routines communicated and he made sure to follow them. I will always use Shelby unless he changes because now he’s perfect for my cat.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats in my house since I was a kid. And ever since middle school, pet sitting has been my favorite side hustle. I have cared for cats and dogs, big and small old and young, and those that have had extra dietary/medication needs. I have worked with difficult pets and I’m happy to play and be patient with pets that need extra love and attention. I am currently a medical student and my classes usually run for only half the day. My afternoons and evenings are generally flexible and, and I’m open to coming by in the morning before classes would start or afterwards for a mid day-afternoon visit. I can accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have depending on your home. I have no problem crating pets if needed. Please don’t hesitate to ask or specify any needs you may have.

“I had to book within 2 days of leaving for a last minute trip. Derek got back to me and accepted the booking right away. He was very communicative throughout the process and took great care of my dog and cat. I definitely plan on booking with Derek in the future.”


“Natalie was amazing with my dog Ralo! He was so happy to see her, and she gave him so much love and attention during their visit. She stayed the full hour, sent plenty of updates, and even took him for a walk. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
“Matt took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a week! He sent tons of photos and provided tons of updates so I knew she was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking again the next time I need a cat sitter. He definitely has a natural ability to care for animals and made me feel at ease leaving my cat for the first time.”

“Anthony was a 10/10 for taking care of our large pup and kitten. He spent plenty of time keeping them busy and entertained. I felt completely at ease while I was gone knowing they were in good hands. I also loved how thorough his pictures were. He even sent a map of his walks with our dog! Will definitely be booking with him in the future.”

“Serina did a great job with my dog. I have a rescue that has some quirks. She followed all directions, and kept him happy! I will use her again. She is Awesome.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking since high school including senior pups, and handling two pups at a time! I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and giving plenty of love and attention. I recently moved to FL from NY and miss being around my pets every day. I would love to meet your furry friends, take them on walks, play fetch, and keep them happy while you’re away. I will also share updates so you know your pet is in good hands 😊 I currently work a hybrid schedule in accounting so I have availability for morning, lunch time and evening drop ins / walks on Thursdays and Fridays. I also have availability all day for weekends. I will make sure to leave your pup just as I found them whether that’s crated, gated in or collar free to make sure they stay safe!
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a freshman in High School. I would dog sit regularly for my friends, help with training their puppies, and also care for their senior dogs. I'm great with all breeds and sizes, as well as high or low-energy dogs. I've cared for newly adopted puppies up all the way up to 17-year-old Huskies. I work Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. I am available for morning walks and breakfast before going to work, and evening walks, dinner, and all the play time they need once I am off. I do not work weekends and am available all day Saturdays and Sundays. I am gentle with all pets and follow any and all instructions provided to me by their owner. I adhere to their diets and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I don't make them do anything they don't enjoy, and pay close attention to their body language.
Tampa-Bayshore Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my pet’s comfort and routine. I really appreciated her attention to detail and communication throughout. I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter, and I would absolutely use her again in the future!

Averi is definitely our go to sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Finding someone you trust with your animals is never easy, but she exceeded every expectation. She took amazing care of our two dogs and our cat, treating them like they were her own. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful at times, and our cat is usually pretty shy, but all three of them were comfortable, happy, and well cared for when we returned. It’s clear she truly loves animals and pays attention to the little details and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. Our home was also just as we left it, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for your pets, I highly recommend booking with her.
Carly was amazing! She provided OUTSTANDING care to you two little fur babies while we sailed the BVI. She is reliable, responsive and so loving! I loved all the pics! It is so much easier to enjoy a vacation when you know that your fur babies well cared for at home! Thanks Carly! Highly highly recommended!
