“We've had a great experience with JD and Magda! They've treated Gus like he was their own and made him (and us) safe. They are quick to respond with any communication and try their best to be accommodating. Also their two dogs are super friendly and Gus loves having them to play with.”
“Marquita was VERY VERY AMAZING with our Tootie girl. She made my dog feel safe and comfortable. She also made us feel comfortable leaving our Tootie girl with her while we were away. I highly recommend mind her! Marquita was very welcoming and made us feel like we were leaving our dog in very good hands. Can’t express how blessed to have her as a dog sitter. 10 Star in my opinion.”
“Kenneth is extremely considerate and caring. I know my normally cautious Franklin likes him because he’s excited to be at Kenneth’s house. His two kids are equally respectful, fun and loving to my dog.”
“Another amazing day at Norma's for our pups! They love going to Norma's for daycare and she keeps them busy having fun! Our two Frenchie's hate to leave. Norma sends lots of pictures throughout the day and we highly recommend her if you are looking for any care for your furry family!”
“We are so so glad we found Alli! Our 1 year old Australian shepherd Harry has a lot of energy and can often be a handful. Alli is wonderful with him! She sends updates several times a day and is always keeping us in the loop. Her sweet dog Mack is the perfect playmate for Harry and insures that he comes home tired :) we know whenever Harry is with Alli he is in amazing hands.”
“Layla spent her days with a 3 year old to play with and was spoiled rotten. She looked so happy in the pictures I was sent so I didn't have to worry about Layla while at work!”
“Heather was able to watch my two dogs at last minute's notice! I am boarding them for 10 days in May, so this was a good trial to see how everything went. They seemed quite happy to be with Heather and the afternoon was a success! Thank you so much Heather!”
“We loved having Olga watch our puppy, Penelope. Penelope is highly energetic and Olga had no issue matching her energy. We had a last minute engagement and Olga was there for us at 9pm the night before. It was amazing.”
“We were visiting from out of town, and I was a bit nervous to use a new Rover sitter. But our experience with Athena & Richi was wonderful and peaceful from start to finish! They took great care of Sadie who can be very nervous when meeting new people and especially other dogs. Athena helped make the drop off and introductions very smooth, and I received photos and videos of Sadie romping around their yard peacefully with the pack within the hour. We will definitely use them again!”
“Willow loved staying with Beata and her family and meeting new friends and spending a lot of time outside running in her large backyard! Beata was very responsive and sent lots of pictures!”

About: I worked as a veterinary assistant in a fear free clinic for 3 years. I have had and been around animals my entire life. I have no problem giving meds or catering to your fur babies specific needs. My boyfriend Devin also sits with me so your pet rarely be left alone. I currently work as a restaurant manager so I am gone for about 6 to 8 hours a day in weekends. I have a pet camera that I can keep on all day while I'm not here. I also have a neighbor that lives across the street that has come to do walks if I have a long shift or something. Until recently I had a senior pit mix,and currently have a DMH cat that is about 13 years old and a DSH cat that is about 2 years old. My animals are my children and I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I can and will (if allowed) take pictures too!
“Noemi is great. She takes such good care of Mako, sends great updates throughout the day. Also takes the best photos! 🙂 Mako loves Noemi - he runs to the door every time I drop him off for daycare.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and had two dogs in Australia (Black Lab and a miniature Cavoodle) before relocating to the US in August last year. My wife and daughter are spending summer back in Aus, so could use a bit of company over the summer, and would love to get my dog fix. My wife and daughter are spending summer back in Australia, so will have a lot of free time on my hands. I work from home full time, in a 2 bedroom apartment. There might be the odd evening/trip to the shops etc where I will be out of the complex, but it will be minimal. I do travel for work, but will know weeks in advance of any travel scheduled. I have a 2 bedroom apartments on the second floor of a complex. There is an off lead dog park in the complex and have direct access to Tampa Bay. I stand up paddle board and happy to take any adventurous pups out on the bay with me.

About: We've had a dog in our home for most of my life. And so has many of our family and friends. So holidays and get togethers are always fun with all the fur babies running around. Currently I have a 100 pound German Shepard who is 7 years old and he's made us very familiar with the vet office. From regular allergy meds to cut open paw pads that need daily cleaning and treatment, he's given us years of pet experience in just 7 short years. But I love him and wouldn't change it for anything. I've owned dogs who live for long walks and dogs who prefer playing fetch in the yard instead. The cuddly ones to the stand off ish ones. Senior dogs who need assistance walking and extra health care too. I love all dogs and will pet any one I see... with permission of course! I work from home full time so I'm always able to give my pet or yours the attention they need when they need it. I'm available for afternoon drop ins to full days of sitting. I understand the peace of mind knowing someone is taking good care of my pet when I can't be home for them. I want to offer as little disruption to your pets routine as possible. Whatever your guidelines are for your pets needs I will strive to meet and exceed them so your pet stays happy and healthy!
“We contacted David to help with our dog, Bella Mae, for a couple days last week as I had minor surgery and could not walk her. David was nice enough to stop by prior to scheduled time and meet us and Bella. He is a fine young man who clearly loves animals and was great with Bella Mae.”
“Jessica not only always dependable but accommodates last minute needs. She provides excellent and dependable care for my dog who loves her. Love reading her detailed notes, I feel like I miss less time with my puppy. Would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! Conan loved her and his walks. She’s great with communicating and pictures. It was such a great first rover experience and I will definitely be booking Amanda again!”
About: I have raised dogs all my life. I also have years of experience with cats, reptiles, and rabbits. I have potty trained many dogs and I’ve even taught my furry friends a few party tricks. Come and see! I work full-time as a school teacher. I am home on Saturdays and Sundays (aside from church) every week. Weekends are the best times to book boarding appointments with me. I am also available during major holidays. I have a fenced-in backyard. I have two small dogs (under 15 pounds) and cats. I can separate my cats from your pet during the day if needed (as I have a furnished garage that they chill in). I also have a work sink where I can give animals under 20 lbs. baths. I live in a suburban environment in Dunedin, FL and I have extra medium-sized crates.
“Angelina was great with our two Aussies! Angelina arrived on time and the girls were very happy to see her. She took time with our girls, playing, brushing, walking and just giving extra loving while we were away. If your looking for someone who is structured and still very loving, you found her!!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs all my life, but became a sole caregiver 24 years ago. I specialize in caring for pets with complex needs including subQ fluids, diabetes management and insulin injections, asthma inhaler/nebulizer treatments, and oral/injectable meds. I have a passion for TNR and have successfully rehomed/rehabilitated hundreds of foster dogs and cats. Three dogs and six cats have owned me, two of which lived over 20 years. I'm currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups or cats. I have a flexible schedule and always put their needs ahead of mine. I currently have a large fenced yard and two indoor cats in Clearwater, FL. I prefer to care for pets in their home environments, but can be flexible. I do whatever I can to care for and make them feel at ease. To me, there's nothing better to earn than an animal's trust -- I understand each has its own traits and quirks.
“Michael was honestly amazing, I contacted him a little bit last minute due to a work trip but he happily accepted and made time to come see the dogs beforehand and they loved him from the start. They aren’t small dogs, and he had zero problem handling either one and dealing with the them. He was so awesome with updates and photos throughout the whole week it helped me feel so relaxed and at ease. The pups looked incredibly happy in every photo and in every walk and gave them everything they needed from a food and supplement stand point which was really awesome. I really appreciated everything Michael did for us he was a rock star!”
“THE BEST!!!!!!!! She goes out of her way to make sure your baby is happy!!! My Winston is always tired when he gets home so I know she has done her job!!! I can not say enough how much I appreciate her!!!!! 100 stars and more for this lady!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years, including two Labs and my current Rottweiler mix, Luna. I treat pets like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m a medical student with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and helps balance out long study days. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure dogs are secure and comfortable at all times. I also follow any routines, instructions, or preferences owners provide so pets feel safe and cared for.

My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home where your dog will always be safe and loved. I take regular walks for exercise and potty breaks, and pets are never left unattended. I have a friendly dog who enjoys gentle company and is great with visitors, but I can also keep them separated if your pup prefers solo time. I follow each owner’s routine closely to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.
“Joe is an outstanding pet sitter. We recommend him highly! Leaving our dogs Queso and Figgy in the care of a sitter is always a stressful experience. Not with Joe! Joe arrived to meet our dogs and instantly formed a connection with our French Bulldogs (and us). Joe embraced his duties as a pet sitter with tremendous enthusiasm and attention to detail. Joe made sure he was completely acquainted with all aspects of our pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavioral idiosyncrasies. Joe took special care to make us feel comfortable and confident that all was in good hands. Joe has a flexible schedule that fits well with duties as a pet sitter. Joe was able to time regular visits thoughout the morning, noon, and evening hours. For each visit Joe sent messages and photos which provided us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. When we returned home, all was in order and our boys were happy. Joe’s love of animals is apparent in every feature of the care he provides. Joe is one of those special people who takes the extra time to provide an abundance of love, affection, attention, and belly rubs to our best friends. If you can manage to book Joe, you will be very pleased and fortunate in your selection of a pet sitter!”
“I’m SO incredibly thankful I found Jennifer! She takes such good care of my boy when I’m at work. She even treats him to “spa days” by brushing him with a brush she bought for him. She is sweet and patient which is needed with Stryker since he takes a few meetings to warm up to new people. She keeps me updated and lets me know/asks questions if Stryker is acting “off”. Don’t think, just book with her!”

“Angie is a fantastic sitter for our 4 year old Border Collie! While away for the week Angie continuously sent photos and text updates on what Yeti was up to and how he was adjusting to his new environment. If Yeti could talk, I am sure he would say he is looking forward to returning to Angie's whenever that might be. He loved the large backyard where he was able to chase squirrels and play with other pups, and it sounds like he made himself right at home.”
