“We had a wonderful first experience with our dog sitter Janet! They took great care of our puppies Chewy and Biscuit, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha and her children were great with my dog. They treated him like part of their family. My dog stayed with them for a week. Her home was clean. She sent me daily updates on my dog with photos. We have already booked our next stay 😊.”
“Jessica and her family are so kind, nurturing and loving! They kept me updated with photos and texts throughout my dog’s stay. He was very loved and taken care of. I felt great in the care of Jessica knowing my dog was in the best hands. He had so much fun with her family and I would absolutely love for Jessica to watch him again in the future for me. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!”
“We love Dzeni and Kathy! We have used them many times to watch our dog and often plan our trips around their availability. They always send photos and answer texts very quickly.”
“Gloria was great! She took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy. I had some special dietary needs for Lucy and Gloria took care of that like a pro. Gloria is a sweetie and I would recommend her to anyone looking for safe and loving care.”
“I am beyond thankful for the care that they gave Kali. Awesome family, great environment, very loving!! I was worried Kali didn’t want to leave she felt right at home form the moment I brought her over. I will 100% come back in the future!”
“First time sitting with them and it went amazing! Bashful seemed to love it so much and it was supposed to just be a cheaper option than my normal sitter but i will most likely be doing the switch and using them from now on!!”
“This was the first time we used Ashley’s services and she was incredible. Lots of pictures and regular updates throughout the day. She help customize a plan that works for us. She communicates well and regularly, she is attentive and caring towards our pets, she arrives as agreed, and she is a kind person. 100/10 would recommend. Already booked her for additional services.”
“Keith is the best! His home is very clean and organized with tons of space for your fur child. I’ve never seen such a spacious fenced backyard. Keith is a guy you can trust with his extensive years of dog sitting experience. Will be recommending to all my friends and family. I can already tell Simba is excited for his next stay!”
“We had a great experience leaving Lunna with Karelys. Lunna was very happy when we picked her up. Before leaving Lunna with Karelys we had to implement a strict diet for Lunna and Karelys helped us get Lunna on the diet with great results when we picked her up. We are confident next time we need the best loving care for Lunna, Karelys will do an outstanding job.”
“CeCe is Awesome! We are so happy we found her service. She treats our fur babies like her children. She is such a kind soul. We won’t use anyone else but CECE, she even bought gifts for our pups. Thank You again for an amazing experience!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience! They took excellent care of my dogs and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay. I loved that my dogs had the chance to socialize with other dogs, and they came home happy and well cared for. Overall, a very positive experience, and I would definitely book with them again! 🐾😊”
“Lili was wonderful with our two babies Brandi & Lilly. She sent multiple pics each day and that was so nice to see while away. We will gladly use Lili again. Thanks Lili for caring/loving them as if your own. They will miss the play group.”
“Luis made our first experience using Rover incredibly easy, friendly, and comforting. We usually board our pups with their vet, but the pick-up and drop-off times there are often inconvenient—especially for a quick one-night stay. Luis stepped in at the last minute, asked all the right questions, and was very accommodating. Our pups came back happy, well-fed, clean, and even smelling great—with adorable little bandanas as a bonus. It’s clear they were well cared for. I truly appreciate how he eased my anxiety about finding a sitter I can trust. We’ll definitely be using his services again—thank you, Luis!”
“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“I highly suggest Donna to watch anyone’s doggie. She was wonderful with our 3 rambunctious boxers. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. Donna always kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Her communication was very much appreciated.”

About: As a former elementary school teacher, I’ve learned the importance of being patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for every cat. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll respect their personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important routines are. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of affection—always at your cat’s comfort level. In addition to cats, I’m also happy to care for other household pets during drop-in visits, including fish, turtles, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserve the same thoughtful, dependable care. I’ll also send regular updates and photos after each visit, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“This was our first time using Jennifer's pet sitting service and we loved her. More importantly, our shy cat Lilly loved her! Jennifer is a true professional. Her gentle approach won Lilly over. She is reliable, punctual and took great care of Lilly. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
About: I got my first cat, Beau, at 10 years old when we found a litter of strays in a bush outside of our front door. Since then I have loved caring for cats and having them in my home. Beau lived to be 20 years old and I now have two new cats, Milo (9) and Fern (1). I will treat your cats with the same love and respect that I give my own and look forward to the opportunity to tell them "pspspsps".
“I've used Ashley a total of 3 times now to take care of my baby. I was gone for 2 weeks on vacation out of the country back in October, then as soon as I got home, I immediately had to leave and fly out of state for a family emergency. She was able to help on late notice. She sends a ton of pictures and is communicative. Plus my sweet little cat likes her.”
About: Hi there!! My name is Gianna and I’m a 26 y/o, second-year medical student at Nova Southeastern University here at the Tampa/Clearwater campus! I was born and raised in Tampa and grew up with cats my entire life!! I love love love cats. It wasn’t until last year when I adopted my own baby (not so baby anymore) girl Eevee! I live with my boyfriend and his cat, Juice and basically my life revolves around these two cats (and I love it). Because of school, precision, reliability, and health are very important to me. I would bring that same level of responsibility, time management, and care to your fur babies, treating your cats exactly like my own. I have flexibility due to studying a lot at home and only required to be on campus for labs/exams and certain classes. I’m a big planner and am very organized, so I do well with instructions! My experience covers a few different feline life stages and routines: - One of my cats is a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. While I prefer to leave medical treatments and medications to the owners, managing my own cats illness has made me even more diligent about maintaining strict, time sensitive feeding schedules and monitoring subtle behavioral changes. **I do have experience with pilling and giving oral liquid medications, I do it 2x a day with my cat Juice, so if needed, I could administer medications depending on the temperament of your fur baby, I just know it’s scary with a stranger but I am willing** - I adopted my second cat last July as an energetic 3 month old kitten. Raising her gave me a fresh experience with a non-stop zoomies-having baby! Haha! Whether your cat is a senior, adult, teenager or a kitten, trust that they will receive the same love I give to my own cats :)
“Courtney was awesome with my cats! Was really nervous leaving them with someone new, we had a great relationship with our previous pet sitter but after moving I needed someone new to help out. I received pictures of both cats on each visit, updates on how they were doing, and she even offered to help with a small mess one of my cats left while I was away. Came home to a clean litter box and two happy cats!”
About: Hi, I'm Carrie! ✨ New to Rover! As I build my client family, I'm offering introductory pricing while still providing premium care, personalized updates, and lots of love for every pet. My passion for dogs goes beyond simply loving animals—I actively volunteer as a dog walker with my local Humane Society, where I've gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Through my volunteer work, I've learned how to safely handle energetic dogs, build trust with shy or nervous dogs, and adapt each walk to meet a dog's individual needs. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and a positive experience, whether they need an energetic walk, a slower pace, or simply someone who understands their unique personality. I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and enjoyable environment while always putting the dog's well-being first. In addition to my volunteer experience, my professional background has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail. You can count on me to arrive on time, follow your care instructions carefully, and provide updates and photos after every visit so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to building lasting relationships with both you and your furry family member. Pet care is already an important part of my weekly routine. I volunteer as a dog walker with my local Humane Society on Saturdays, where I have the opportunity to work with dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and helping them get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. Outside of volunteering, I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors, making dog walking a natural fit for me. I intentionally schedule my availability so I can provide dependable, personalized care without feeling rushed. Whether it's a daily walk, a potty break, or extra playtime, I treat every visit as an opportunity to make a positive difference in a dog's day. For me, pet care isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely enjoy. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate care while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn your dog's preferences, schedule, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm providing a walk, a potty break, or a drop-in visit, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. During each visit, I provide personalized attention based on your dog's energy level and needs. This includes exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'll also make sure your home is secure before I leave by checking doors, gates, and any instructions you've provided. Communication is very important to me. After every visit, you'll receive photos and a detailed update about your dog's walk, behavior, potty breaks, and anything else you should know. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, so you can feel confident knowing they're in caring, dependable hands.

About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.
About: I’ve had pets throughout my life. Most dogs approach me readily. I enjoy giving belly rubs and back scratching. Playing fetch in and outside and giving them attention I am retired and am available 7 days a week and am at home most of the day. I leave a sliding glass door and patio door open for them to go in and out freely I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. I don’t have a a 80lb Black Lab under 2 years old that’s loves playing. I have Airbnb space and welcome pet guests along with the two legged variety. I have a pool for the swimmers and vinyl floors for cool resting spaces I’m retired from a career in accounting so dog care is the biggest part of my day. It give me flexibility to schedule meet and greets an can accommodate drop offs and pickups throughout the day and evenings I work hard keeping your pet safe. I separate dogs at their feeding times to avoid any territorial issues I allow the dogs as much outdoor time as possible I keep hard bones and ropes all around to keep them occupied. Most daycare dogs leave having spent a lot of energy and usually rest well when they get home I am fully retired so I’m home all day most days. If I go out to run errands I’m gone 1-2 hours. Should I be gone longer, I will check your practice that you use there. I’m outside a lot and will let your dog play as much as possible, I do have a covered patio with a tile floor so the can cool down and get water. I have a pool that I can block access when needed Pets sleep indoors and usually in my bedroom floor or my bed when there’s enough room. I allow them on my sofas and the sleep there as well. I feed them twice a day between 7-8am and 5-6pm and treats in between

For me, pet care isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely enjoy. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate care while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn your dog's preferences, schedule, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm providing a walk, a potty break, or a drop-in visit, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. During each visit, I provide personalized attention based on your dog's energy level and needs. This includes exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'll also make sure your home is secure before I leave by checking doors, gates, and any instructions you've provided. Communication is very important to me. After every visit, you'll receive photos and a detailed update about your dog's walk, behavior, potty breaks, and anything else you should know. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, so you can feel confident knowing they're in caring, dependable hands.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have always been the person my family and friends call when they need their pet taken care of. I have a senior dog who needs support getting around and requires medication so I am comfortable with animals of all ages and all needs! I’m currently a student with all online classes, so I have a very free schedule! I am able to come as often as needed at any time! It’s important for me to treat someone’s home with respect, as I would want the same done for me. It can be nerve wracking to let a stranger come in to your home and take care of your very loved pet, which is why I take rules and boundaries very seriously so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.
“Ashley has been our sitter for 4 years now and she’s excellent with our dog and kitties! She’s super dependable, provides excellent communication with us, and our pets love her. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting over 40 years. With over 19 years experience in the Vet tech field, I began pet sitting for extra income. From cats, birds, rabbits, turtles and numerous dog breeds. I absolutely love pet sitting, fostering relationships and meeting new pups and ppl. I’m relocating to the area and expanding my pet clientele. I’m on your schedule but more importantly I make your pets schedule the utmost priority. I have two beautiful dogs, one senior and the other quite rambunctious. We enjoy long walks, cuddles, bones and barking. Also sunbathing in our grassy fenced in yard on sunny Florida days.

“Luis made our first experience using Rover incredibly easy, friendly, and comforting. We usually board our pups with their vet, but the pick-up and drop-off times there are often inconvenient—especially for a quick one-night stay. Luis stepped in at the last minute, asked all the right questions, and was very accommodating. Our pups came back happy, well-fed, clean, and even smelling great—with adorable little bandanas as a bonus. It’s clear they were well cared for. I truly appreciate how he eased my anxiety about finding a sitter I can trust. We’ll definitely be using his services again—thank you, Luis!”

“Ozzie really enjoyed his stay! I love that it’s set up to where the dogs can play and enjoy each other. Giovanni did a great job of sharing updates via pictures and videos and it gave me peace of mind that my pup was okay.”
