“Elizabeth was great to work with. She was on time, followed instructions perfectly and most importantly my pups had a great time with her and were well cared for. Thank you!🙏 we will be happy to have you back.”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience! We could not have asked for a better dog/house sitter. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. They went above and beyond in every way — not only taking incredible care of our dog, but also treating our home with so much care and attention. We got updates, photos, and could tell our pup was happy, loved, and spoiled while we were away. Coming home to a happy dog and a well cared-for house was the best feeling. Reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and truly exceptional. We will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone without hesitation !”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring they are. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away—which says everything. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup and a tidy space, and it was obvious our dog had been treated like family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”

“Erika was amazing watching our fur babies! We booked short notice, about a week before our trip. She was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet to meet our babies. Winston loves her. She sent pictures and updates throughout out the stay and was very kind and had no problem adjusting the stay according to mine and my husbands plans that got pushed back a day. Winston and our kitties were very happy when we got home. I would recommend Erika to watch anyone's pets, she was great and extremely reliable!”

“If we could leave 10 stars we would! Shawnee is amazing! Our babies loved her, and she took such great care of not only our babies but our home as well. We had some unexpected appliance issues arise while we were away, Shawnee was great about communicating with us and letting us know not only what was going on, but stepping in and making sure that everything was taken care of as if it was her home. She reached out every day and let is know how our pups were doing, and took amazing pictures, and sent us multiple pictures every day. We cannot express our gratitude for everything that Shawnee did for us, and how well she cared for our babies, they were so happy and well cared for. Of course it's never easy to leave your pets when you go away, but moving forward when we travel and can't take our pups with us, we will be reaching out to Shawnee to come back and take care of them, we know that we have nothing to worry about when Shawnee is caring for our pups and our home. Thank you Shawnee you are AMAZING!!!!”

“I cannot express how grateful I am to Yaritza. I have a very anxious Chihuahua that suffers from separation. Yaritza was very aware of this and highly patient. She was highly communicative and thoughtful. This is the 1st time in a long time that I have felt at ease on trip that I had I had to leave my fur babies behind.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my pups and treated them as her own- she was so sweet and administered medications for my pups - she cared for them and updated me frequently with sweet photos - I would 100% recommend Lauren and book her again! We love her”

“Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.”

“Sunni took great care of our pet while we were out of town, dropping in multiple times throughout the day to take him for walks and feed him as we requested!!! She was accommodating to our neighbor who also dropped in for hangouts with the dog. Very communicative with all of my texting and questions!!”


“Miranda was a godsend! I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy. From the beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about making sure my puppy felt safe, loved, and comfortable while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I came home, my puppy was happy, well cared for, and clearly attached to Miranda — which says everything. Miranda paid attention to routines, gave lots of playtime and affection, and treated Lola like family. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can completely trust with my fur baby. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!”


“Destiny is exceptional! Reliable, professional and so caring. We love knowing that she is watching Bo while we’re gone and eagerly will be booking again and again. She is without a doubt our first choice to take care of our dog.”


About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.
About: I am a 47 year old male, whose Air Force duties were crew chief for F-22 fighter jets, serving overseas during the Iraq war. I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.
About: Hi, my name is Alberto; I have several years of dog sitting experience; fostering for Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue and volunteering at the Lakeland SPCA. I was previously a volunteer for Cornerstone Hospice (Pet Peace of Mind) providing assistance with their client's pets at home. I offer dog sitting services in my home, drop-in visits at your home and dog walking. While I am hosting your pet at my home I will provide short walks, administer medications as prescribed and feedings per schedule. I have a fence backyard to provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs in my home will enjoy a family environment and won’t be alone. My dog is very social and loves the company of other dogs. I completed a training by the SPCA in Lakeland on dog behavior. I am also an off site adoption counselor for Lakeland SPCA and selected volunteer of the year for 2014. Yo Hablo Espanol. I'm currently retired from Healthcare and work part-time as a PCSO School Cross Guard. I love being outdoors; walking, bike riding, and gardening. I love caring for all living things. I have a fenced yard for exercise and mental stimulation. Your pet is never alone or unsupervised in the yard. A meet and greet for all new clients is important prior to their first stay in my home and home visit.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.
Tigertown pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was my first time using Rover, and I was so nervous that my six cats would be too much to handle, especially with one being difficult to medicate. Lauren made the experience wonderful and completely put my anxiety at ease! She is kind, caring, and most importantly, incredibly patient. If you are looking for a pet sitter you can totally trust and rely on, Lauren has got you! Thank you, Lauren we look forward to booking you again, and our kitties loved their time with you!

Penny did a great job. She house sat for our dog and cat and did a wonderful job. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how they were all doing. She was very respectful of our home and our pets, and we have already booked her for another much longer visit in a month.

Megan was wonderful! We had a great first meeting, communication was great she was fast at responding and friendly. She sent us pictures of our pets while she was watching them and they were all happy when we got back home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I’d use her again.

I feel so lucky to have found Lauren! She’s super friendly, the dogs LOVED her, and she left the house immaculate! A total win! She also communicated throughout the stay and sent picture updates. She made me feel at ease. I’ll be reaching out to her every time to care for the pups!

Miranda was a godsend! I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy. From the beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about making sure my puppy felt safe, loved, and comfortable while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I came home, my puppy was happy, well cared for, and clearly attached to Miranda — which says everything. Miranda paid attention to routines, gave lots of playtime and affection, and treated Lola like family. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can completely trust with my fur baby. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!

Kendra and her husband were amazing. I left them with my senior dog and puppy overnight and unfortunately my puppy had a huge mess in her crate overnight and they were so kind to clean it all up. They sent updates and pictures and were very kind and attentive! Communication was amazing. Thanks again, Kendra! I’m so sorry for the mess!!!

Jyana was a quick response and great at keeping us up to date on the pets’ day. She kept to their routine perfectly and gave them lots of cuddles. Even my very shy cat felt comfortable enough to make an appearance to her towards the end of the day. She was polite and a wonderful house guest as well; I highly recommend and would ask her help in the future
