“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!”

“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”

“Tyler was great checking in on my puppy! I am confident that my dog is in good hands and being cared for with updates, quick communication, and cute photos!! Definitely recommend!”

“Johnny truly goes above and beyond for your pet and the whole family. He is the best sitter we have ever had by far, there is no comparison. He pays attention to detail and truly does the best job.”

About: I have been a sitter for neighborhood dogs (from puppies to seniors) for over 5 years now. I have also had experience with shy dogs that are not always energetic and willing to be patted but with time those dogs have also been amazing to work with. I owned a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 14 years (who passed away from old age), whom I loved dearly. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I wake up early to go swimming every morning but am otherwise available for daytime and afternoon walks and doggy daycare. I live close to Riverwalk which is a great place for walks with your furry friend. I am always cautious about the heat during the summer when walking dogs so I will always bring a water bottle on our walks.
“Alina is reliable and she is great with Pablo. She treats him like family and cares for him exceptionally. She communicates promptly and openly. She’s a trusted sitter and someone I know I can count on to care for my baby.”

“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Zoey while we were out of town. She met with her before we left and Zoey loved her. We would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’m able to take care of any type of dog and have watched dogs of all ages. I also am able to get dogs to listen to me well with commands. I’m currently a full-time student but I would love to watch your pets on the weekends or on weeknights. I often have free time that can be spent hanging with pups! I have a fenced in area and hardwood floors in my apartment. I also am able to travel to different areas in Tampa to walk or check in on your pups.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and our home is perfectly set up to welcome your pup — with a spacious backyard and two humans who work from home. After recently saying goodbye to our senior dog, our young pup could use a playmate, and we’d love to share our space with yours. Friends, Rover families, and local rescues have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, and I’ve spent countless hours volunteering — most recently at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. As a certified dog trainer, I’ve dedicated my life to working with animals. Dogs truly are my heart, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, care, and affection I give my own. Fair warning: they’ll be spoiled in the best way possible! I am currently working full-time on Rover and have a flexible schedule. I'm ideally looking for long-term clients, but am open to your occasional needs as well. I have one of the largest fenced-in backyards in the neighborhood — big enough that friends bring their pups over just to run and play. We’re also a short walk from a couple of great parks, so there’s no shortage of adventure. And at minimum, every dog gets two daily walks of at least 30 minutes each to keep them happy, healthy, and exercised.
About: Caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. I love spending time with animals, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block, playing fetch at the park, or giving them plenty of pets/belly rubs at home. Growing up with dogs, and gaining experience with a variety of dogs (&cats!) since then, has made me confident and attentive in providing personalized care. I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm off. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands.

I am also a very detailed person and I am comfortable administering medication/adhering to feeding schedule. My childhood dog is 19 years old and requires a lot of extra care. I was his main caregiver when I lived at home, so I have plenty of experience with pets that may need extra special care.

As a former D1 athlete, I am a very active person, and I am happy to provide additional exercise for high energy dogs as needed!
