“We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Maxine went above and beyond for Maddy! I got the CUTEST photos of Maddy throughout the stay and I could tell she got so much love and attention all week long 💕🐾💕 Happy dog + happy dog mom!”

“Kristin is the best as always and so accommodating with my crazy travel schedule. I never worry when Nori is with her and her family - she fits right in!”

“Still the best dog care service on Rover, from the special care she gives to the doggies to the communication. She gave my cami a bath so she was nice and clean during her 9 days stay. She left toys for my princess when it was time to pick her up. And she treated cami as her own family. She is the ONLY stay that cami allergies didn’t act up. Cami had solid poops when returning home. Compared to others she monitors the dogs so they don’t eat scraps. She also gave cami such pretty photo shoots that I have some of the best pics. This is my second time using her, so glad I found Cece.”

“Nicole was a wonderful host and sitter for my 1-yr old cat. She was also very accommodating when I had a travel delay on my return home. Above all, I really appreciate that she was patient with Bella, who can be a little shy and timid at times. She was even able to get her to snuggle on the couch! I would definitely hire Nicole for future pet sitting :)”

“Haley was absolutely wonderful! We had to extend our time with her unexpectedly, and she accommodated us willingly—even on short notice. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and we’re so grateful for her support.”

“My puppy had a good time and the care was phenomenal. Elena & Meiru were very nice and welcoming. Plenty of yard space for playing and running. I was kept updated of the status of my puppy and he looked like he was a happy boy at the time I picked him up. Will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Cynthia was easy to coordinate with and really helped me out by watching my cat(Mr. Stitches) given a short notice. She sent me daily photo updates where in Mr. Stitches looked very much at ease. I would trust Cynthia again and recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.”

“Madisyn was great with my dog Lola! Lola is a little shy to start and Madisyn was patient, welcoming, and very warm to Lola to get her comfortable. She was a great communicator and Lola will be visiting her again!”

“It was my first time using Rover and he made it easy, great communication and my dog came back happy and well cared for! Thank you so much, will definitely be using Jake again!”

“Rose was an excellent sitter for Sophie! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of picture updates. Upon picking Sophie up, we could tell that she had made a connection with Rose. Would absolutely have Sophie stay with her again!”

“This was my first time using rover and let me tell you: I had a very positive experience 🫶 Both Josh and his wife watched Bruno for a week and treated Bruno like part of their family. Initially, I was worried about leaving Bruno with another family but on day one after getting updates and photos, I knew he was in the right hands. Bruno even seemed a little sad to be leaving his new friends 🥺 They communicated with me all week and most days I got photos and videos🤍 I truly appreciated them giving Bruno all the love and attention he normally receives at home with us. Bruno was even allowed to sleep with them and hang out on the couch! And I know he loved their backyard and their dog. Thank you thank you to them for keeping my Bruno safe and loved! 🤞🤍 Would book again and would recommend to anyone! 🫂”

“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from childhood adventures bringing home stray dogs to years of raising and training my own. Over time, I’ve learned how to meet pets where they are; whether that means patient guidance for a curious puppy or gentle support for a senior dog who moves a little slower but still loves to be loved. I’m especially experienced in senior care after spending nearly 9 wonderful years with our 14 year old boy, Zeke. Supporting him through his golden years taught me the importance of attentiveness, comfort, and encouragement — every tail wag was worth the extra care. When it comes to training, I’m the designated puppy whisperer in our home. I’ve always taken the lead on obedience work and new-dog transitions, with a calm, consistent approach that builds trust and good habits. Above all, I believe pets thrive with love, patience, and positive energy — and that’s exactly what every animal in my care will receive. I work from home full-time so daily walks, playtime, and cuddles are already part of our routine. Caring for pets feels second nature. Our late pup, Zeke, taught us how much consistency and love matter, so every pet in our care gets that same steady, gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. We have a fenced backyard for safe play, and I’m attentive and present throughout the day. A crate is available if needed, and our playful Frenchie, Fig, loves keeping other dogs entertained. Every pet is treated with care, patience, and love.
“Hermun was perfect for my Aussie, Dixie! Very high level of communication (w/ pics), love for dogs & great insights on training! Riley was a good friend to Dixie! I will be rebooking soon!”

“Whitney and Alex were awesome with my sweet Gluhwein!! . Glue had so much fun and made two new best friends Hank and Gino! Unfortunately, my dog got a rash the day before I had to drop him off, but Whitney and Alex were so great with giving him medication and sending me updates on how the rash was healing.. They also sent update pictures throughout the day on what they were doing which definitely helped put my mind at ease while being away!! My puppy had the greatest time and I will definitely be reaching back out to see if they will take him again in the future!!! Thank y’all so much!!”

“Virginia was amazing with my dog, Nellie! She sent lots of updates and I could tell Nellie was having so much fun and was well taken care of. Nellie got along with her dog so well. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Shayna took excellent care of my dog, Arya. I felt very confident leaving my precious pup in her beautiful home under her care. Drop off and pick up were super easy - Shayna is someone who is friendly, kind and easy to work with! She sent photos each day I was gone and that made me happy to see Arya having a great time. Shayna and her family are the best of Rover and I look forward to having her care for Arya again.”
