“Michelle did a great job with Nikki, playing with her and greeting her right away and really persisting on engaging Nikki. Nikki had a great time with her. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Stephanie was SO wonderful dropping in to take care of my baby Zeke while I was away! She knew my cat would be hesitant not having me there and worked so hard to get him out from being scared, even bringing her own toy for him! She successfully got him comfortable with her, playing and giving lots of love.😊 Would definitely book again!”
“Estefany is such a great care taker for Ellie. She is so kind, communicates well and often and genuinely cares for our pet. I highly recommend her to anyone who is willing to give her an opportunity to care for your pet.”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful. I was so happy with the care she provided and I completely trust her with my dogs. From the very beginning she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with pets. My dogs adore Victoria. They were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept them on their usual routine, and sent regular photo. That gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves dogs. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Victoria!”
“Thx for dropping in on our pups. I’m actually shocked how much they both immediately took to you. They haven’t stopped barking about you since you left. We will reach out next time we need them looked after.”
“Alyssa is great. My pets take to her very well. She really engages and interacts with my fur babies and ensures she’s mindful to accommodate any requested needs for either of my cats. She’s punctual reliable and communicates well. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her!”
“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.”
“Sammie did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs. She was very responsive, timely, and an effective communicator. This was our first time using Rover and it was a fantastic experience. The app is so easy to use, and we love the Rover cards.”
“Ariella took great care of our very shy and anxious dog Maddie. She was patient and sweet with our girl and even spent extra time during her visits with Maddie to help her feel more comfortable. Will definitely use her in the future!”
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. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! 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). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
About: Several years experience dog sitting - New to Tampa! I work fully remote so will always be around to give you pet attention and I have a very dog friendly Corgi of my own to help keep you pet entertained! I work from home so I will be able to keep an eye on your pet at all times. I have a pet corgi that will keep your pet company but I can keep them in separate rooms if your pet prefers to be alone I live in a fenced in apartment complex adjacent to lenox park so I am able to exercise your dog or keep them safe inside.
“Rebecca was a delight to work with. She was timely, considerate, and flexible. In fact, I wound up needing someone the following day, and she was there to ensure my baby girl was taken care of”
“Wendy has been an absolute lifesaver for our family!! I contacted her last minute because we had a death in the family and had to be out of state for a funeral and she didn’t hesitate to help!! She treated our kitty like he was her own ❤️ was in constant contact with me and went above and beyond anything I was expecting! I am so grateful for her! I will definitely book Wendy again very soon!”
“Hillary made me feel comfortable traveling while she was taking care of my kitties! She checked in with me and always sent great pictures and videos. Thanks, Hillary!!!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, dogs that need medication, and dogs with seizure disorders. I also have a dog child that is a mini Goldendoodle, Clover, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work from home while going to school full time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule that lets me give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to stick to their routine. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walks to medications, crate time, playtime, and any other preferences you have to help them feel comfortable and at home.
“Morgan helped us out with a drop-in service when another sitter fell through relatively last minute. She was absolutely incredible with our two pups and so sweet. Her love for dogs/animals is evident when you first meet her and our dogs seemed to connect with her very quickly. We will definitely book with her again and we highly recommend her services!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thonotosassa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .
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.
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.
To find sitters in Thonotosassa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
