“Dzeni and Kathy were absolutely wonderful with Bailey! From the start, their communication was clear and consistent, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. They were very attentive to Bailey’s needs, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the whole time. It was clear that they treated her with genuine care and affection, just like family. We came home to a relaxed and well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and professional pet sitters!”
“Carlos is an amazing sitter. Our dogs had a great time and came home calm as can be. I highly recommend Carlos and he will be our families permanent dog sitter!”
“Samantha is the first sitter I’ve found on Rover that felt like I was just bringing him to a family friend’s home where he would be treated just like he is at his own home. Communication was above and beyond. I’m so glad I found her and I think my pup won’t be sad the next time we have to leave! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my sweet boy! I’ll definitely be rebooking next time!”
“Im so glad i found ms cece to take care of my Basha. My dog actually looked sad when she left ms cece’s house, probably because of all the good memories she gained from ms. cece’s care and attention, not to mention the loads of play time my dog had with the others. I will definitely have my Basha stay with her again whenever im in Tampa.”
“Janet was so accommodating to dog sit my westie at the last minute during the holidays. She communicated everyday with the cutest videos. She fed him some yummy healthy soup. Jake was a happy boy! Thanks for your wonderful care Janet!”
“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!!”
“Jessica and her lovely family took such amazing care of Marley! They have a very clean home in a nice friendly neighborhood, and treated Marley as if she was their own. I got daily updates and photos, and Marley always seemed to be having a blast and getting spoiled. There is no doubt I would 100% have Jessica take care of Marley again. Fantastic experience.”
“Gloria was so nice and understanding! I felt at ease leaving my baby Oakley with her and her family. I appreciated Gloria updating me and sending me photos of my baby. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“Once again, Mei Li and Mr. Bob went above and beyond in taking care of our dog, Ozzy. They send lots of pictures and videos and treat him as if he is their own. He loves staying there!”
“I can't say enough good things about Janel and Jeffrey. They took in our 2 dogs, one of which is pretty high maintenance for an extended stay, and we never had a worry. They provided great communication along with daily pictures of all the fun stuff they were doing. Our dog really appreciated them supplying a thunder jacket and soothing hat for her during the storms and she now owns her own set for home.”
“Giovanni was incredible. Great communication front start to finish. Marla and Whiskey had a blast - the videos and pictures sent daily were proof of that. Giovanni went above and beyond- we ended up staying another 2 days on our trip and I only packed maybe 1 extra day of food he went to the store and bought chicken breast and cooked it for my babies. Do yourself a favor and book Giovanni for daycare or boarding you won’t be sorry! It definitely looked like he treated Marla and Whiskey as his own and made me feel secure someone was loving on them & giving the best time while we were away.”
“Lindsay took incredible care of my dog. She was very communicative and provided me frequent updates and photos. My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Normally he goes on a hunger strike when I’m away on a trip but he felt so comfortable with Lindsay that he even ate. Will be using Lindsay again for sure!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kathy and her family. Our elderly pup had top notch love and care while we were away out of the country. Kathy sent us daily updates and pics and really put us at ease. When we picked our puppy up it was evident that she had been cared for and thet she had felt at home with Kathy. Thank you soooooo much.”
“My first time using this service and Miriam made it very easy. Booking process was easy. Communication was great. I was sent pictures daily. And on my return, my dog looked healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend her services,”
“Chandler was a great sitter. He went above and beyond making sure my pup was given all his meds and ear drops. He was even able to accommodate me with picking him up for a vet visit. I would/will use Chandler again in the future.”
“Juliana was patient and wonderful with my special needs dog. She was great communicating before and during the pet stay. i highly recommend her for your pet. We look forward to our next visit.”

Jake loves her and looks forward to her visits. I have Jessie booked until the end of the year because she is so good with him!! Highly recommended!”
“Nicole was amazing. Since the moment I contacted her, she was super polite and came to my home willingly to meet my babies. I am very apprehensive when I have to leave my boys, but reading her nice visit recaps, and seeing the photos she took, made me feel at ease, trusting they were in good hands. Even my shy boy Link was open to her visits! Thank you so much Nicole!”

“When we're out of town for a short weekend, we usually have morning and night coverage for our baby. Wires got crossed and he didn't get the care we're used to. Enter Christine. Her and her husband went above and beyond. They cleaned an accident that happened after our usual walker didn't walk the dog accordingly because of the rain. Our poor boy, who never has house accidents, pooped inside. Again, Christine made sure our house was cleaned and even checked to make sure there were no further accidents. She communicated regularly and just gave us such ease while we were gone for the weekend. I can't say enough good things. We'll be booking with them again.”
