About: I have worked with cats and dogs for many years. I have trained my own dog who is very well tempered and I have administered different types of medicines to older and younger animals! I have a very open schedule as a college student and love spending time with animals! I love going on walks and being outdoors, weather doesn’t matter to me! I live in a nice neighborhood with a dog park walking distance away, and I have no other animals so that yours can be the center of attention!
“Super easy going and easy to talk too, Our dog Remy loved her from the jump. She left Remy a stocking full of toys and treats for when we got back super sweet and thoughtful AND she fixed our dog food storage issue with a new dog food container, Kathryn is the bomb and we cannot recommend her enough!”

“Amanda was wonderful! She took absolutely fantastic care of our cat and he warmed up to her so quickly! Amanda was really easy to communicate with and followed all of our care instructions to a T! We won't hesitate to book with her again :)”

“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have a puppy of my own! I have experience with large dogs and growing puppies who have lots of energy to get out. I currently work 3 12hour shifts during the weekdays and have 4 days off. I get my full schedule about a month in advance and it is normally fairly consistent so planning a visit can be simple to fit into my day! I currently have a 11 month old high energy puppy. I find the best ways to get her energy out is training, walking, and play time! I believe a balance between physical and mental stimulation is the key to a happy dog. All dogs are different and have different needs so I will love to hear all about your dog to learn how to make the best out of the time I spend with them.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. Normally, animals (not just mine) fall asleep in my presence or like to lay right next to me so I take that as a good sign. I’m very gentle with them, I don’t like to be aggressive (naturally), but I can be as assertive as you’d like me to be depending on the circumstances. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, one of those being just Friday morning. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. Saturday mornings I’m usually out early until 10am but I am free afterwords. If anyone needs care on Tuesdays, I’m only available after 5:30 (Thursday is a late day so unfortunately I cannot take any-I get home at 9pm). I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). If I do come to your home, I am always very mindful of where I’m at and try my best to clean up when I can. I don’t mind if you need a little cleaning done too, it’s relaxing on my end.

“10/10 recommend her, she takes wonderful care of our puppy and never misses out on anything that he requires. From lots of play & exercise at the park, Taylor exceeds our expectations. Thank you again for today’s short visit, especially on such short notice Taylor!☺️”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a grader, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your cats. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, bearded dragons, snakes, and just about every quirky pet a friend has trusted me with. I even interned at a veterinary office back in high school, which gave me early hands‑on experience with animal behavior and basic care. I provide individualized attention, plenty of playtime and cuddles, regular walkies for the pups, feeding, and medication administration when needed. As a naturally detail‑oriented person, I follow your care instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent and comforting. Your pet will be in safe, attentive, loving hands every step of the way. 🏡 Boarding Routine For boarding, I match your pet’s normal schedule—feeding times, walk times, medication, bedtime routines, and any special habits they rely on. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of companionship, playtime, and supervision. 🐾 Walkies & Drop-Ins During the week, I'm available for morning and evening walkies & drop-ins. On weekends, my schedule is fully flexible to match your needs. I keep a calm, low‑stress home with plenty of soft, cozy spots for pets to relax. I can separate pets for feeding if that’s part of their routine. The lawn is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on‑leash to keep everyone safe. I make sure pets always have a calm, safe space to relax. Their comfort and safety come first. For Walkies & Drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets attention, potty breaks/walks, fresh water, and anything else they need to stay comfortable until you’re home.
About: Your animals health and safety is of utmost importance. I will treat them as if they were my own, I Love all animals! Bring 'em on! I am open Mon-Sun 24/7. I require three days notice, but with that I would be happy to take your animal whenever! I can be flexible upon request. I live in a gated community in a spacious apartment,. There is also a dog park with plenty of friends five minutes from home. I am very calm under pressure and understand that these animals are someones fur baby. I will treat them as such,.
Tampa Palms pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicol was absolutely amazing!! She made us feel so much better about leaving our cats! She had such a calming presence and they were so comfortable with her right away! Also the cats tend to kick their litter around and it was all cleaned up when we got home! We would definitely have her drop by again!

We appreciate Laura. She truly is an experience dog handler. We appreciated the “meet & greet” to introduce Our three rescue poodles to Laura. The 12 photos painted a wonderful happy time with Laura. Thank you. It put us at ease knowing a caring decision g friend was caring for our treasures.

Rachel did an excellent job caring for our two cats. She followed all instructions and sent thoughtful, detailed daily updates with plenty of photos. She was very patient (especially with one full of cattitude, little guy) and even managed to win over our other extremely shy kitty. We returned to happy cats and a tidy, well-organized home. We would absolutely recommend Rachel and would gladly book her again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our dogs were comfortable, happy, and well loved while we were away. Kathryn was dependable and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We’re so thankful for the flexibility she granted us and we would gladly book again!
