“Yet another fantastic experience with Happy Tails Pet Care! Elena and her family are a team of loving and caring individuals that gave my 60lbs Husky the love and attention he needed! The daily updates are priceless for the owners who are nervous about leaving their fur-child with someone or those who just want to see how their pooch is doing. Apollo has found his home away from home!”
“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Luna had another wonderful stay! She came home clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times, especially with our travel schedule. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it gives us peace of mind knowing Luna is in such caring hands. We will definitely continue booking again!”
“We booked Elona at the last minute, because we came in town for a Jennifer Hudson concert. And let me tell you, she was AMAZING!!! She sent several pictures and updates throughout our doggy stay. We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.”
“J’akeecia watched my dog while I was out of town and did an awesome job. Super easy to communicate with, sent me updates without me even asking. She was super reliable, and took great care of my pup. Pics walks, zero stress. Definitely recommend!”
“Carley is awesome!! She was able to take Peenut with less than a week’s notice. He felt right at home as soon as he walked in to her house! She dropped him back off at my home on the agreed upon time. He was happy and healthy when I got back home to him. Will definitely use Carley again for overnight boarding!! Thanks so much for taking care of my lil nugget 🥰”
“First time sitting with them and it went amazing! Bashful seemed to love it so much and it was supposed to just be a cheaper option than my normal sitter but i will most likely be doing the switch and using them from now on!!”
About: I’m a loving, caring, and responsible dog mom with 12 years of experience raising my own dogs, as well as caring for friends’ and neighbors’ furry kids. Having a multi-dog household myself means I am highly experienced in managing dog interactions and keeping a harmonious environment. Indoors, I keep your baby engaged with plenty of toys, play tunnels, and continuous companionship under my full supervision. I treat every furry family member with the exact same love, patience, and high-quality care I give my own. I also make it a priority to share frequent photo and video updates throughout their stay so you have total peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved - just like a home away from home! 🥰💕✨ I’m home full-time, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for, playing with, and interacting with your pup throughout the day. I love keeping dogs happy and engaged with a variety of toys, play tunnel, and fun activities. I make sure each dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities to play. 🎾❤️ My home is in a secure community with 24-hour security patrols. Although we don't have a private backyard, we are surrounded by beautiful, spacious green grass areas for sniffing, plus a fantastic dog park nearby lined with wood chips - perfect for a clean, mud-free playtime! I also have two sweet and friendly Shelties who absolutely enjoy the company of other dogs. I always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and supervise all outdoor time carefully! 🐾❤️
“This was my 3rd time leaving my dog, Bentley, with Trevor. Bentley had a great time and really enjoyed his stay. Trevor took great care of him and sent regular updates with great pics. When I picked Bentley up, he looked like just came from a great vacation!”
“We had a great experience with Lynne and Chuck. They took excellent care of our pit bull Bella, who can be a bit selective with other animals. We'd definitely book with them again!”
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”
“Marcus is great with Ziva, my Belgian Malinois. He is very accommodating and I can tell she enjoys her stay! He sends updates and is always available to let me know how she is doing or answer questions. He is our go to local sitter after moving here this year. I am very careful who I leave with her with- her last sitter was our go to for 5 years before we moved to Tampa. I am glad we found him!”
“The best sitters! Cindy sent daily pictures and messages of our fur baby and was super responsive. Will definitely use Cindy and Santhosh again and would highly recommend them. :)”
“I cannot speak highly enough about this. Amazing lady She went above and beyond taking care of my Bella. i got updates all through the day and lots of pictures. Her entire family are absolutely the best. If I could give her twenty stars, I would. I think bella had so much fun she didn't want to come home. !!!”
“I was a little hesitant about leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Lucky felt the live and made himself at home. This made me feel relieved. He will definitely be back”
“Ania did such an amazing job taking care of our older Pug. He’s slow and has some health issues, and she was incredibly kind and caring with him. She updated us with lots of pictures and provided frequent snuggles. I think he was sad to come home!”
“Nicole was great! She sent me pics during the time we were gone and I could see how happy my pup was. Her space was perfect. Will definitely book again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Temple Terrace
We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter Denesha! Both of our pups were well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Communication was great, and we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were receiving the attention and care they deserved. We truly appreciate the love and attention shown to both of our fur babies and would absolutely recommend Denesha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Absolutely the perfect sitters! My dog was surrounded by love and got endless amounts of pets. He is usually very picky when away from home and won't always eat. He was very comfortable, ate and drank like usual and really loved all the extra attention. I was glad he was so well taken care of while I was out of town for work. Thank you!
My first time here I went on vacation Hillary was great she wake up with letting me know how Lucky did that night and send videos and text thu out the day it made me feel great knowing he was being well kept. For sure I will book with Hillary again kind hearted thanks so much for making my trip away from my baby so mind relaxing
Andrea was an absolute gem with Charli! We were on vacation and specifically asked that Charli still get to enjoy all her favorite things so she’d have a fun week away instead of just waiting for us to come home. Andrea nailed it. She sent daily updates with messages and the sweetest pictures of Charli taking her own walks, playing, and getting all the cuddles she loves. You could tell Charli was happy and well cared for the whole time. Andrea was thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
Windell was able to accommodate a last-minute booking for my two dogs after I decided to take a spontaneous trip, and I’m so grateful! He was very kind and accommodating to both me and my pets, and his communication was excellent—he always responded very promptly. I was a little nervous because my younger dog can be a bit on the wild side (LOL), but Windell handled him with no problem and took great care of both of them. It definitely gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated his flexibility and would happily book with him again!
Amanda is wonderful! I left my best pal with her for three weeks and she did a great job making sure Kota was cared for while I was away. I was initially nervous to be away for so long, but after meeting Amanda, I knew my dog would be safe with her. She treated Kota like part of her family, and I’m very grateful Kota was able to spend the time I was away with someone as kind and caring as Amanda.
David was great with my Doberman, Kronos. This was Kronos’s first time staying with a sitter outside of family, so I was definitely a little nervous, but David kept me updated with photos and communication throughout the stay. His daughters also helped play and interact with Kronos, which I think really helped since Kronos is very playful and curious. Their dog was also friendly toward Kronos, and everything seemed to go very smoothly. David was patient, reliable, and even helped with drop-off coordination when plans changed unexpectedly. I really appreciated all the help and would absolutely book with him again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Temple Terrace can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Temple Terrace home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Temple Terrace.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Temple Terrace. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Temple Terrace sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
