“Ashlee was wonderful with our 17 year old toy schnauzer. She is so calm and Bella was very comfortable. Great communication throughout. Will definitely use her services again”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs of many different breeds my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. I also worked in a shelter, where I cared for over 50 dogs, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and special situations. I’m patient, attentive, and truly committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra care, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my day to make sure pets get regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I also make sure to dedicate quality time so pets feel comfortable, safe, and not alone. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy every day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel secure. I give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personality and energy level. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m very respectful of the home, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and health, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, active dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and care.
“Paige was great. Responded to messages promptly, arrived on time and stayed the full hour, and sent pics to keep us updated. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up with two dogs that filled my life with so much joy. I just want to give that to your dogs even if it’s just a walk, a check in, or even a long term service. I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I do have a part time job but will be able to schedule around those few shifts I have a week. My priority is your animals! I am very adamant on keeping all dogs on leash unless in a gated backyard or at a dog park dependent on how they interact with other dogs and owners wishes.
About: I am new to the Saint Pete area, and looking for a side job to keep me active and busy! I have some experience with training, puppies, and 10 years experience with a rescue who had behavioral issues with other dogs. My dog passed before my move and I’m hoping to stay connected to other dogs as my apartment here doesn’t allow me to have one of my own! I work remotely and can be somewhat flexible with my schedule to do visits during the day. I mostly spend the weekends around st pete so pretty open availability on the weekend! I am not able to bring your dog to my home, but I am more than happy to go to your home during the day or at night to let the dog(s) out on a leash or in a fenced in yard.
“We have had two male tabby cats (litter mates) for 12 years. We lost one just before Courtney was to care for them recently. I made her aware that we lost one of our babies and she spent extra time bonding with our surviving cat. He has never been by himself before and I worried about that. She was wonderful and our kitty did very well! Courtney is great!”
“Marlene is prompt, thorough and caring. She is a great communicator and did a great job with Jack and all his “instructions.” We would definitely hire her again. Thank you, Marlene!”
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of/lived with a large dog before (German shepherd). I have more experience with cats but have taken care of multiple types of dogs. I am open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I have experience taking care of blind dogs/senior dogs! I am located on st Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I work full time but it is a late/evening shift so I can be available during the day as well as nights after work. I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on pets so I can understand them better.
About: As a dedicated pet lover with a unique edge, I stand out from the rest through my exceptional skills and experiences. With a needy yet lovable cat of my own, I understand the importance of catering to pets' specific needs. My feline friend has taught me the art of adventurous exploration, including leash walks and a constant need for companionship. Growing up with dogs has instilled in me a deep appreciation for canine companions, and I've honed my abilities to provide top-notch care for both dogs and cats. Whether it's training energetic puppies or offering gentle care for seniors, I bring a well-rounded approach to pet sitting that ensures tails keep wagging and whiskers keep twitching. Due to circumstances I am recently unemployed so my schedule is wide open and available to come watch your pet as much as you need! My approach to caring for pets is adaptable to both my own home and my clients' homes, based on the specific service required. When pets come into my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment that mimics their usual routines as closely as possible. This includes designated feeding times, regular walks, playtime, and cozy resting spaces. For dogs, I often take advantage of nearby parks or walking trails to ensure they get their exercise and mental stimulation. My own cat's love for exploration has inspired me to offer leash walks for dogs who enjoy outdoor adventures. In clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining the familiar surroundings that pets are accustomed to. I follow any provided schedules for feeding, medication, and playtime meticulously. This helps alleviate any stress or anxiety pets might experience while their owners are away. Whether it's ensuring litter boxes are clean, fresh water is available, or administering necessary medications, I am thorough and attentive. Additionally, I'm more than happy to accommodate any special requests, such as specific dietary needs or grooming routines. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a seamless experience for both pets and their owners, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own homes. This consistency and personalized attention contribute to the overall well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.
About: All my life i’ve just loved animals. They bring so much joy and happiness into someone’s day. I believe that I can take great care of your precious pup whenever your in need. My family and I currently have 2 french bulldogs myself, one full of energy and my other is very relaxed and down to earth. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to take care of them while you are away on vacation or just out of town and enjoying yourself. Don’t worry tho, You came to the right person!! I’m a student at the University of Tampa! I’m best available Tuesday/Thursdays. However through discussion I’d possibly be able to make Monday/Wednesday/Friday work. Especially through the first two weeks into the semester starting Jan 19th to February 2nd! I currently have a 2 French bull dogs who are two are just 2 different characters! One is less maintenance, living to sleep and hang around all day while the other is super rambunctious. He loves belly rubs, frequently gets bursts of energy w/ the zoomies , loves treats and lots of attention so my family and always do our best to keep him active and in shape; Walks, Carrides, Jazz Music, Tv and Activities with toys tend to tire him right out. With a puppy, I know it can be a struggle but with the right methods, everything will slowly fall in to place. We of course always make sure he is well fed and constantly taken out.
About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’ve loved being around dogs for as long as I can remember. I started dog sitting when I was 12 years old by helping my neighbor after school. I would walk their dog, feed her, and make sure she had plenty of love and attention while they were away. As I got older, people I met through work began trusting me to care for their pets as well. I’ve stayed in clients’ homes for up to a week while they were on vacation, making sure their dogs stayed comfortable and kept to their normal routines. I also have my own apartment and am happy to care for dogs in my home if that’s what works best for you. I recently moved to Florida from Connecticut, so my schedule is very flexible while I’m looking for work. Back home, I have three dogs that I had to leave with my family because I couldn’t bear to separate them from each other. I miss them every day, so I’d truly love the opportunity to spend time caring for your dog. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My availability is completely open right now, I just moved from Connecticut so I am currently looking for jobs! I was just bartending, waitressing and babysitting. Dog Sitting, I really only did once in a while for a couple families in my area that needed it while they went on vacation, but I would love to turn it into a daily routine to help take care of other pets! I have the space for a crate if your dog needs otherwise I’d let your dog roam freely if he’s OK to do so and anytime we’d go on walk so I would just keep him on a leash in my complex or wherever we go and if your dog loves the beach I would love to take your dog to the beach or any dog park for fun!
About: If you need someone to give your animal attention or let out some energy, I’m your girl. We can go for a walk, a run or throw the ball in a park. Just let me know what level of activity you wish them to have. I always bring water for the pups and will try my hardest to bring them back happier and exercised. I have all the patience for them to smell as many things as they want. Please message me for any questions big or small. Happy to do a meet and greet! I’m currently back in Tampa to help my parents out. Taking some time in between contract jobs. I often travel for work like Alaska, yachting or even Antarctica. So this is a fun thing for me to do while I am helping out family. I’m a great companion for a high energy dog who wants to run. I have also worked with families that need someone to watch their pet because they had surgery and can’t stay home from work to be with them. If possible I volunteer at animal shelters when I travel.
“Alison came HIGHLY recommended by two of my best friends and I could not be happier to have booked with her. My pittie mix can be veryyy anxious around new humans but Alison was patient with her and took such good care of our girl after she accepted our very last minute booking. We will absolutely be using her in the future!”
About: When i was you we had always had family dogs starting before i was born. I grew up along many dogs i would call family. While growing up with these dogs i learned to care for them while they were young as-well as care for them when they grew old. I am familiar with the happy days of introducing a new family member and playing with a new puppy to the mournful days of saying goodbye to a great friend. Beyond caring for my own pets i have cared for elderly beagles who seemingly appear on counters to get food i had left out to playing tug of war with the nicest Rottweiler I can handle it. I am a student home for the summer and this is currently my main form of income so you pet is my number one focus I have a fenced in yard and 2 human and dog friendly golden retrievers our yard is large and is partially wooded. I live in a dead end neighborhood that circles a lake that i often walk my own dogs around and let them swim. There is a small stream in the backyard that my own dogs often lie in to cool off.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tierra Verde
Lexi is a lifesaver! We needed someone asap and she went above and beyond to help. She instantly became our go-to caregiver for our dog and we feel blessed to have found her. From the start, our dog was so excited to meet her as if he's known her forever. Our dog is very friendly, but every once in a while he meets someone and it's as though he/she is a long lost friend. Lexi is one of these people. A new friend to our Oakley and our family for sure!

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 Tierra Verde 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
