“Kailia was so nice and flexible with her schedule. We made our booking last minute and made a further last minute reservation change. Kailia stepped up and really made our time away from home feel special as we knew we had someone truly reliable to take care of our girl.”

About: From Great Danes and German Shepards to chihuahuas i’ve sat for all kinds of dogs. Senior pups and even the littles. I love getting to take care of your fur babies and of course the pur babies too. I’ve been around shy and outgoing cats and i’m happy to cater to any of your pets needs! I currently have a pretty open schedule but try to keep my calendar up to date so you know my availability as soon as I do! Unfortunately I am unable to bring any pets home with me however I’d be happy to accommodate you through walks or visits in your home!
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.
“Hillary did an excellent job doing drop in visits with our dog. Her communication with me during my time away was outstanding. I would have no hesitation using her again.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a baby. I've raised and cared for four family dogs over the years: Nala (Black Lab), Holly (Golden Retriever), and my current dogs, Lucy (Golden Retriever) and Millie (Black Goldendoodle). Through caring for my own dogs, as well as dogs for friends and neighbors, I've gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, overnight care, cleaning up accidents, administering oral medications, and keeping dogs on their regular routines. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs, and have experience with potty training, anxious or shy dogs, high-energy pups, and large breeds. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, active, and incredibly affectionate. I truly love spending time with dogs, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy, comfortable pup. My goal is to care for every dog as if they were my own while giving pet parents peace of mind through reliable care, regular updates, and lots of love. I currently have a part time job and am a student at the University of South Florida so I have a pretty open schedule, and plenty of time to play with your pups! I work Tuesdays and Thursday mornings as well as every other weekend right now :) During every drop-in visit, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm happy to administer oral medications, follow special feeding instructions, and care for pets with different energy levels and personalities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they're doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I want every visit to be a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets since I was ten. I have had my own dogs my whole life so I am well experienced. I am studying in college right now but I have free time during the week so it fits into my schedule. I am an early riser and can stay up late if I need to check in! I make sure the pet is comfortable with me always and not butting in their space! I wanna make them feel as welcome as possible with me!
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”

I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember and feel very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of routines and environments.

“Our family was gone on an extended vacation and we were able to relax and know our dogs and fishies were well taken care of. Amanda was exceptionally contentious by sending pics/videos (without us asking!). We would highly recommend Amanda without reservation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for four dogs of my own and helped foster two others. I’ve gained hands-on experience in feeding, walking, bathing, and comforting dogs of all ages—including seniors. I also took a course from the University of Florida’s Vet School called “The Dog,” where I learned about breeds, nutrition, and dog health. I’m truly passionate about dogs and committed to providing safe, loving care like they’re my own. I work part-time which gives me a flexible schedule.

“Holly is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond and sent lots of pics and videos and updates. I didn’t worry at all with her. She won over even our most stubborn kitty, and not just fed them but also spent some time playing with them. I’d definitely recommend Holly!”

“Elizabeth was great and Coco loved her. She had great communication and sent over pictures, which we loved. Definitely will be using again in the future. Thank you so much ?”

About: I’ve had a love for animals as far as my memory goes! I’ve gotten lucky enough to raise and care for just about every household animal you can think of. I had the pleasure of caring for my elderly childhood blue nose pit which has shaped my experience. From providing medicine to assisting with stairs, getting into cars, ETC. I love to cuddle with couch potatoes but also am very active and enjoy playtime! I work in office 8-5 Mon-Thurs and work from home on Fridays.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thonotosassa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
