Maxine went above and beyond, providing exceptional care and great updates throughout Charlie’s stay. I highly recommend Maxine to any pet owner seeking top-notch care. Thank you, Maxine, for your love and dedication!”
“Kristy provided a great and worry free stay for my dog Mia! I am always nervous using new Rovers, as Mia has become dog reactive, but Kristy followed my instructions and continued with positive reinforcement training so Mia can continue to make progress. As such, she had no negative reactions to other dogs on walks during her stay! Kristy also provided me with a daily photo and update each morning to check in. She lives in a lovely, quiet and walkable neighborhood and her kids were gentle and clearly very comfortable with dogs. I would absolutely recommend Kristy and will be re-booking with her again in the future!”
“Janel & Jeffrey love and care for our dog, Argo, as if he was their own! They send us daily pics and videos of him to see what he’s up to. They walk, play and relax daily making him feel at home! He loves seeing Janel & Jeffrey!”
“Anne was great with our newly acquired 5-yr old shelter dog, Toby. We are still working on potty training and good behavior with him so he wasn't an easy guest. We're implementing some helpful suggestions Anne offered and anticipate that Toby will be a better guest the next time around!”
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful! She was sincerely excited to have Winston in her home. Her house is set up very well to host dogs and the fenced in yard was great.

“This was Rosco's first stay with Jennifer. We did a short meet and greet the week before. She sent pictures several times during the visit that showed he was happy and content. He was fine when I picked him up, and all his stuff was returned 100%. Rosco is going for another visit this week and we're sure he'll be fine thanks to Jennifer's excellent care.”
“Another trip we were able to make thanks to the help of CECE, my baby dog Kai always happy with CECE and when I pick him up too, I found him very well cared for and healthy, happy dog! Happy family, we have luck to find CECE🙌🌸”

“Aditi responded quickly, was communicative, and receptive to all my needs and requests. I needed help taking care of my kitties and bunny during a busy workweek and Aditi was a lifesaver! Thank you! :)”
“Alexandra is always our top choice when we need a cat sitter. She always goes above and beyond whether it’s spending extra time, finding creative solutions to give our needy boy his meds, or even literally doing arts and crafts with our cats hahaha. Our cats usually don’t all agree on a person, however they all love Alexandra! I always feel safe and calm knowing she’s there for our cats and family 🥰”
“Brandi did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 year old cat with kidney disease. She visited with her before we left town to learn about the medication and fluid administration and to help Zoey get comfortable. She was very patient and kind, and took time to give Zoey lots of love and attention at each visit. Brandi also did a terrific job of keeping us informed about her visits and how Zoey was doing. We are so happy we booked Brandi and will use her whenever we have the opportunity.”
“We had an amazing experience with Stephanie taking care of our cat, Babaska! She responded super quickly to our initial request and offered a very reasonable price per visit. Before the first official appointment, she even came by for a meet and greet to go over all the details—such a thoughtful touch. Stephanie is clearly a true animal lover and takes her job seriously. She was always on time, followed all our instructions perfectly (including feeding and cleaning the litter box), and even stayed to play with Babaska so she wouldn’t feel lonely. The daily updates with pictures and videos were a huge bonus—her photos looked so professional that we’re actually planning to print some out! We’re beyond happy with the care Babaska received, and we’ll definitely be hiring Stephanie again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure our baby was well cared for and followed all our instructions exactly. I really appreciated the pics sent at each visit and the thorough notes each time. We will definitely be choosing Courtney again!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our cats were loved and taken care of like we had never left. I honestly think they were a little disappointed when we came back because they got the royalty treatment while we were gone! 10/10 recommend, could not have had a better experience.”
“If I could give Elise more than 5 stars I would! She’s so easy to contact, gives constant updates and honestly cares about animals. I feel completely comfortable leaving my elder cat Kitty in her care. Would highly recommend.”

We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”
“An awesome experience for all of us. My 7-month-old pup was thoroughly busy, safe and well cared for the entirety of her stay with Christina, which enabled us to take a weekend away without worry. Thank you again so much!”
“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!”
“Teri did a wonderful job looking after Jellybean and sending me updates throughout the day. She was well prepared and asked all the right questions. I had no doubt he would be in good hands, I highly recommend her services!”
“I highly recommend Debora. She watched my puppy for a couple hours and upon my return my puppy was learning to “leave it” and to calm down when other dogs are near (she gets super excited). Debora was very nice, super knowledgeable and my puppy loved her the second they met. 10/10”
“Fabulous week for Juno our Alaskan Husky mix! She was so settled and happy with Denise and her Border Collie Frankie! Such peace of mind knowing Juno was in good hands and happy. Denise is a wonderful person. She understands dogs and she totally gets dog owners worries too. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“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!”

About: Hi I’m Josh. I recently moved to Tampa from California. I have a one year old golden doodle and before I had two dogs of my own for 15 years that just recently passed away. I was in the Air Force for 8 years and now I work in advertising sales. I am very active and I love being in the outdoors. I love taking dogs on walks. I am very relaxed and have no problem allowing your furry friend to be on the furniture or to sleep in bed with me. I work from home, so your pet will always have company . I am the only one in the house so I will make sure to give your animal tons of love. I work from home so your pet will have constant love and care. I provide constant care and walks throughout the day. I have a nice dog park in my complex. I provide constant affection and take them on walks throughout the day. I follow whatever instructions given by each owner. I also will provide photos of their stay while they are here.

“Amanda is great! She is very punctual and is very good with our dog Willow! I would absolutely recommend her and will continue to use her for our dog Walking needs.”
“Mia has been such a dependable and caring walker for both my boys! I trust her completely with both of my dogs! Thank you Mia for being such a great dog walker for our family!”
“Melissa was great and I will definitely book with her again! She loves animals and obviously feels very comfortable around any breed. She took my two mixed breed dogs (one is a pit mix) and gave them lots of TLC on an afternoon walk. She texted me when she arrived and left, as well as sent photos and gave me an update of their activities. My one dog is slow to warm up to new people and she just took her time and waited for him to come around, which he did.”
“Anastasiia is the best!! She walks my dog 5 days a week, is on time every day, patient, and reliable! She’s been walking him for 2.5 weeks now and is also detail oriented, with my dogs best interest in mind. 10/10 would recommend”
“Martha is amazing! Wiggles is like velcro to here mama and she happily went with Martha and got excited when I told her Martha was coming. She was also gracious in accepting me as a client when I had covid, very kind and brave. I highly recommend Martha for walks or boarding. Thanks Martha!”
“12/10 I have been using Adriana to walk my pup while I am at work & my pup loves her. She is quick with response time & is great at knowing what my pup needs or wants. Could not give enough praise!”
“Barbara was amazing and very trustworthy! I had her stay at my house for several days with my two older dogs. Neither dog has stayed with anyone outside of my family before, nor had they ever been boarded. Each dog has separate medications that needed to be taken daily which she administered with no problems. They are both each very needy in their own ways, which makes dog sitting them difficult at times I would imagine, but Barbara seemed to have a handle on everything. She even took the time to get to know them (walks and visiting) before I went away out of concern for their comfort. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I highly highly recommend Barbara!”
“Kierra Was so kind to the dogs, very attentive and followed every direction we gave her to the fullest extent. Highly recommend, was able to help us out super last minute. We could’ve have asked for a better dog sitter.”
“She was on time for dog walks and judging by the way Freyja jumped up to greet her when she arrived, my dog really liked her. Appreciate her helping me out after spraining my ankle.”
“Lisa is our go-to professional and I couldn’t recommend her more! She is always so reliable and willing to help us out in a moment’s notice. Our pups love her and we are always at ease when she is able to care for them.”
“Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”
“Kristen is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my Labrador, Angel, and I always know she’s in loving, capable hands. She’s reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond every time. Angel gets so excited when Kristen arrives, which says it all! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
“Christian was wonderful! Very friendly and patient with our dogs upon meeting them. Was able to help us with last minute walking needs. We will definitely continue to use his services and would absolutely recommend to others 😄”

“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”
“Janel & Jeffrey love and care for our dog, Argo, as if he was their own! They send us daily pics and videos of him to see what he’s up to. They walk, play and relax daily making him feel at home! He loves seeing Janel & Jeffrey!”

“We had the absolute best experience with this family. This was our dog’s very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous, but they completely exceeded every expectation. They sent multiple updates every single day, along with so many sweet photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It meant everything to see how comfortable and happy our dog was while we were away. You could truly tell she was being loved and cared for like part of the family. She also handled our dog’s medication without any issues, which was incredibly important to us. Knowing that her medicine was given properly and on schedule took such a weight off our shoulders. It’s clear this family is attentive, responsible, and genuinely cares about the dogs in their care. I would 100% book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found them!”
“Stephen was wonderful, very caring, and patient with my pet! She’s a greyhound with lots of anxiety, but he was patient with her whining. Pictures came daily and he’s very responsive over text anytime you want to check in, I’ll be coming to him again if I get the chance! Also his little boy is great with dogs, and super adorable!”
“Sam is a gem. Violet seems to be relaxed and happy when she is with him. He is a great communicator and is flexible with scheduling. We have used him before and will definitely use him again.”
“Viviana is an incredible sitter! My dog is always so calm and relaxed with her (which says a lot because he’s a doodle 😅) but I’ve used her probably 2-3x at this point and always feel so at peace knowing my baby is with her and looked after.”
“Heather was wonderful with our Gracie and kept me updated and included photos every single day. She is GREAT with dogs, having three of her own! We already have her booked again and will continue to recommend her to others.”
“Frankie gives Dzeni and Kathy all the stars, all the tail wags, and possibly a few bonus zoomies. He had the best time with them and came home happy, loved, and clearly convinced he had been on his own little vacation. They were wonderful with him — kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly dog people in the best possible way. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in their care, and Frankie would absolutely pack his tiny imaginary suitcase to go back again. Highly recommend! Frankie says 10/10, would visit again, especially if treats and attention are involved.”
