Shelby is amazing!! He’s great. I needed someone to walk my dog after surgery. Shelby was dependable, trustworthy, friendly, independent, and adaptable to our routine and household. Will definitely book again. Our household didn’t miss a beat thanks to his help.

About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily check on your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy whenever needed. My pets' daily routines are a part of my own daily routine. I will make sure your pets are taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure that they are happy and cared for and exercised as needed.

South Seminol Heights, Tampa, FL, 33603

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!

Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.

Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾

I highly recommend Whitson! Whitson becomes an indispensable part of our routine. Not only do he arrives right on time, but he also goes above and beyond, often extending the walks beyond the agreed-upon duration to ensure our Tito gets the exercise and attention he needs. It's clear that Whitson genuinely cares for the well-being of our pet, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a dog walker who is not just a professional but also a true animal lover, look no further than Whitson. He is simply the best!

About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.

Plaza Terrace, Tampa, FL, 33614

About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 and have been both dog and cat sitter in the past. I have cats personally but looking forward for long walks with puppies when I can! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule. I can take pets for walks or just come spend quality time with your loved one I live in an apartment with cats of my own, so I will not be able to board pets. I am able to go check in as much as needed

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. You can count on me to walk, feed, and bathe your pets while keeping them safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of my family. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but have the flexibility to come and go throughout the day as needed. I’m fully available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or extended stays around my schedule! Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are in a secure environment with plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keeping routines consistent for feeding, walks, and playtime,and always give extra love and patience to help pets feel relaxed and safe while you’re away.

Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!

Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits

Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!
