“Thank you Elena. I look forward to booking again. You made this a great experience in finding a care giver for our young daughter's beloved pet. Elena was prompt in her responses, actively inquired on our pet's needs, and even gave our pup a present when leaving!”
“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”
“J'akeecia was great with leidy. Sent pics and answered right away! Leidy had a good time playing with her dog and when we got home she went right to bed after her walk. 10/10 would recommend! Ill definitely keep her for next time we need a sitter!”
“Iyorima was amazing! Jin loved her and got used to her fairly quickly. I get paranoid pretty easily and she understood and sent me photos and text messages about Jin to calm me down. Jin was a happy boy when he was there and that’s all I care about.”

When I am working my daughter is home she is 18 soon to be 19. We both love animals. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is very friendly . Your animals will be taken care of . And don’t worry when it comes to eating time they will be separated

About: Hello there! I work from home and would love to take care of your dog while you are at work or on vacation! I have experience giving medicine, leash training, command training, and I provide fresh water and will feed to maintain your schedule. I start the day with a walk between 6am-7am, the next walk will be 12-1pm, early evening walk will be 5pm, and the last walk of the day will be between 8-8:30pm. For the last walk of the day, weather and heat allowing, I will play fetch in a fenced in area for 30-60 minutes. What dog wouldn't love that! I have a cat and a small dog, that are friendly with other dogs. Unsure, how your dog will do, let's schedule a meet and greet! Pick Up/Drop Off Availability for Daycare & Boarding: Pick Up: 5:00 am - 5:30 am / 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm Monday - Friday Pick Up: 6:00 am - 9:00 pm Saturday - Sunday Drop Off: 6:00 am - 9:00 pm Sunday - Saturday ***All dogs must be current on their tick and flea prevention*** I work from home 5 days a week so I can be with your dog 24 hours a day and maintain my schedule of walks, feedings, and play! I do live in an apartment, but with my schedule of (2) 30 minute and (1) 20 minute walk during the day and 30-60 minutes of walking/play in the evening (to avoid the heat) your dog will be exercised and ready to relax while you are enjoying your vacation. I have a designated area for a water fountain bowl (I have my own) and your feeding bowl. I will change the water in the morning, afternoon, and evening so your pet always has fresh water to drink. Your pet is also welcome on the furniture and you are welcome to bring their bed. I have a cat that faithfully loved my dog for 8 years and is good with other dogs. That being said, your dog must be friendly with cats, if you are unsure, let's talk about it and see if we can come up with a solution. I will provide a loving and caring environment for your dog with lots of love and attention given through out the day. With working from home, I am open to your pet's needs and wants and can spoil them while you are away.
“Glad to have our first experience with Rover with them. They sent me updates and were really understanding that my dog is not yet fully house trained. Sherlock was worn out when we took him back, probably from playing with the other dogs at their home. Our dog was evidently happy with his stay. We are very satisfied!”
“She’s absolutely amazing. My babies loved her! She’s very informative and caring. I love that she kept me posted on their wellbeing and progress throughout the day while I was out working. Definitely recommend her as future use of service.”

About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Gabrielle was an amazing sitter! My dogs had a great time with her, and I loved seeing their photos throughout the day. I'd absolutely recommend Gabrielle, and hope she can dogsit Huxley and Casper again in the future!”
“Excellent!! Janet was terrific in communicating and helping me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby. I truly appreciate her watching my little Mia. I look forward to Mia staying with her more often. Thank you Janet!!”
University dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had Stephanie watch our small dog, Keelie, for several hours while we visited the Aquarium in Tampa. She communicated well though Rover, asking questions about any special needs for our dog. She did a wonderful job, meeting us at the door and again asks if there were any special instructions for taking care of Keelie. She only had Keelie for about 3.5 hours. she took her on two walks and gave her some treats. Overall, we were very happy with her care, and she was fairly conveniently located in the Tampa area. I would definitely use her again.
Leidy has separation anxiety when we drop her off places but she followed Iyorima right up the stairs no issue! It was amazing! Iyorima definitely has a gift. Leidy spent her time there cuddled up and Iyorima made sure we were informed on how she was doing. 10/10 would recommend!
Madelyn was great for my dog Daisy. I booked the day before and she made her schedule clear to me. She kept me updated with pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her. She is very responsible and responsive. I would definitely trust her again.
Annabel was amazing! She was able to take my dog at the very last minute and went above and beyond to be flexible, accommodating, and understanding. This was my very first time leaving my dog with someone, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely at ease and took such great care of my dog. I’m so grateful for all of her help—thank you again, Annabel!
Demetrios is the BEST dog sitter on Rover, hands down! He was an absolute hero watching Koda. My dog loved him, was happy to see him, and was taken care of like he was on his own vacation!! Actually got sent multiple photos of my boy smiling, lol! High recommendation from me. 💯
