Elena was excellent with our dog Ivory. She took tons of pictures and gave us plenty of updates each day. Drop off and pick up was also super easy.

I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!

Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!

We booked Elona at the last minute, because we came in town for a Jennifer Hudson concert. And let me tell you, she was AMAZING!!! She sent several pictures and updates throughout our doggy stay. We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.

I was a bit nervous at first because it was my first time using this app or leaving Diamond with anyone outside of my family, but boy was I happy I picked Windell. Not only was Windell responsible, reliable and on top with the daily updates and communication but he was extremely resourceful, kind and patient with myself as well as my little guy. He addressed each and every question and concern in a timely manner and went on and beyond to assure the safely and well being of my little buddy Diamond! Thank you Windell!

I can’t even begin to explain how GREAT Marcus was. During our most stressful times regarding our living arrangements, Marcus quick responses and last minute requests made this transition much more easier. We needed him for a couple of days until our apartment was ready, our apartment kept being delayed due to construction and inspections, and our dog’s stay kept getting longer and longer. Marcus had no problem accepting our last minute request and he made us feel comfortable in knowing that our special dog was safe and sound. Marcus will definitely be our to go Rover guy and Mango (our dog) absolutely loves him! Thank you Marcus for making these stressful times a little less hectic.

Shirley was great! This was my first using rover for boarding, so I was nervous but Shirley made sure to communicate with me regularly and send photo and video updates. She also responded so quickly if I ever messaged her. I felt reassured that my fur baby was well taken care of and loved on in her home. I can tell that Khloe had a great time with Shirley. I will definitely be booking again in the future!

About: Hii, my name is Stephany! I am a senior at the University of South Florida majoring in Environmental Science & Policy. I will be in Tampa during the entire summer for whatever pet services you need! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. I have volunteered before at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay and at a local animal rehabilitation center in Orlando. I have experience with responsibilities such as feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing love and companionship. I have also have experience in administering special diets to animals and enrichment. I always keep my home cleaned and tidy and make sure to always keep my space pet-friendly. I will provide regular updates including photos to the owner since I know it can be hard to be away from your little one! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time but I am available anytime before and after work to care for your pets. Other than that I am always at home and available. I have my own room, bathroom and lots of space out in the living room. When caring for dogs I have a small dog park available and have lots of accessible walking areas.

Anytime my family and I have had to leave our coco it’s usually with family. So, this was a big step for us. However, Aurelia was amazing and communicative. It was so refreshing frequently getting updates and pictures of her. I never felt like it was a tough time getting in contact with her. She truly treated our fur baby as her own. I will definitely book with her again!

My old sitter wasn't working out anymore, and I was very worried about finding someone new. My dog is sweet but very anxious, so I was beyond concerned. Victoria was perfect. She immediately made him comfortable. And when I went to pick him up he wasn't as hyper and ready to go as he usually is. I'm very glad that we found her.

"I cannot recommend Noraidelys enough! She did an absolutely amazing job watching my dog and truly spoiled him rotten. She provided frequent updates and sent the cutest pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond, even adding an additional blanket just for his comfort! My dog was clearly loved, well cared for, and returned home so happy. We will definitely be booking with Noraidelys again!"
