About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, fish and turtles. I love taking dogs on walks and to the dog park if that’s something your pet would enjoy.

“This was our first time using the Rover app. My husband and we were nervous leaving our boys (two boxers). Jennifer b. Was amazing, our boys took to her immediately.

“Angie is Amazing! We got back from our trip and our pooch wasn't stressed or anxious at all. He was calm and behaved like we just got home from a day at work and it was business as usual. There's no question that he received the love and attention he needed while we were away. Fantastic service and attention to detail. I recommend Angie 100%. ”
“Laura was amazing with my Edna, who is not a very confident dog. Laura has a warm and gentle nature and made friends with Edna in minutes. Her activity notes and photos showed Edna very comfortable and enjoying attention from other family members as well. Laura is communicative and attentive to detail. But I think Edna only cared about all the affection. I hope we will be able to board with Laura again!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family overnight and Norma was the perfect fit. She's very sweet and you can tell she enjoys having dogs at her house. I loved the fact that someone was always home. She kept me updated and sent pic's. She was always fast to respond. I would 100% use her services again.”
About: Lifelong experience with dogs. Growing up I have owned both lab and pitbull type dogs, but that is just my personal ownership. I have cared for puppies and older dogs, and have cared for all my dogs into their senior 14 plus years. Friends and family have used me as their most regular dog sitter for their loved ones. I've ranged in babysitting dogs from a larger size like boxer, lab, pitbull, goldendoodles, to as small as bichon frise, pugs and French bulldogs. I work from home the majority of my days so when I am sitting dogs are always supervised by me and have my full attention. I live near a nature reserve so I enjoy taking pets on long (or short) walks around the neighborhood and we also have a community dog park if you enjoy letting your pets play there. I really just enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes and am honored to be so trusted watching people's loved pets. I currently work from home so I am available to supervise pets full time in my apartment. I typically work from 8-4, but can take frequent breaks for feedings, potty breaks, play time and anything else your pet may need. I do go to the gym in the afternoons, but I am away from home for a max of an hour and the gym is right in front of my community within walking distance if needed to get back home quickly. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding as my schedule does not change often, so your pet will have my full attention while they are at my home. I am surrounded by nature and am also close to several trails if your pet likes longer walks. I live in a pet friendly community and also have access to a community dog park that we can easily visit if you like. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I am a big fan of all snuggles. In my home I have space for 1-2 dogs. I have an open area to place a crate for your dog as well a bed or any other accessories your pet will need. I'm home full time so whatever feeding/walking schedule you have your pets on I will be able to accommodate for them.
“What an wonderful experience my Pyper had. It was like she was on vacation. She felt right at home, loved all the attention, activity & love. The photo/ video updates were invaluable to me. I was referred by a friend who has used their services & am so happy we now have the opportunity & pleasure to use them as well.”
“David is absolutely amazing! He watched my senior dog while I was out of town for a weekend and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog Cupid felt like he was at home and not with a stranger. David by far is the best host I think anyone can ask and I’ll always be using David in the future! Only downside is I feel like my dog Cupid didn’t want to come with me because he has such a great time with David lol”
“Elyse took our dog Buttercup last minute when our plans changed. She kept her for five days. She communicated quickly with any questions I had and sent me updates. Buttercup was very well cared for and seemed very content and comfortable when we picked her up. I would not hesitate to leave her there again. Her and her husband and son are obvious animal lovers.”

I can’t rave about her enough! Your pet will be in good hands with Jennifer O!”

“My first experience with Rover, communication.was very smooth. Cassie kept in touch with me over the three days she had my cat, sending great photos and updates on how my kitty was adjusting to new surroundings. I adopted my cat age 3 didn't know how she'd be with other animals, and she was fine with Cassies dog and cat.”
“We had a great experience with Alexis! She took wonderful care of our cat and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We really appreciated the updates and photos, they gave us peace of mind while traveling. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Marquita watched my puppy for a whole day and took such amazing care of her! Such a sweet person with a nice family! She also sent me great pictures and updates while I was out. I was so grateful to have a caring person to leave my very energetic little pup with. Marquita was an excellent communicator and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“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!”

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.
“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”
“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.”
“Enzo had a great day with Jennifer today. We will definitely continue with daycare when we need it! Thanks for taking good care of our sweet boy.”

About: When caring for other people's animals, safety is my primary concern, followed closely by happiness and wellbeing. You can expect to receive daily updates, pictures and videos. You can also expect prompt responses from the moment I receive a request, during the booking, and even follow up messaging after the booking has ended. I make individual care plans depending on age, size and breed of the dog. Meaning that if your pup/s have high energy, more play time is necessary and allotted. If your pup/s are a laid back senior, then we spend more time relaxing. I work from home and have a fenced in yard and love walks in our beautiful Safety Harbor town. My family has had all types and sizes of pups from toy poodles to great danes! It's important to give the same level of love, attention, and care to every animal as though it were my own. However, each dog has it's own individual needs, I am able to cater to whatever each dog's needs will be.

About: I’m a teacher, so I’m very responsible and caring. I also love spending time with animals and I regularly help my clients and friends with their pets.

“Peyton has been absolutely amazing! She stepped in for a few last-minute bookings when I was dealing with car issues, and I can’t thank her enough. She’s incredibly reliable, follows directions perfectly, and most importantly—she’s great with my pets. Her communication is clear, timely, and reassuring. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who truly cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dependable dog walker! Scout and Chuck 🐕🦺🐕🐾🐾💙☺️🌞”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I’ve been 16 years old. I don’t have any animals of my own so helping take care of other people’s, animals means a lot. I make sure I send updates and everything that you would need. I work part time during the summer. I only work Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. I am free on the weekends. I am pretty much free to come help. Take care of your animals. In my client’s home I play with the dog take them on walks. Just make sure they’re safe. Typically, they have a fenced in backyard.
About: I love all things dogs and after losing my dog I would love to help others out. My favorite things were going for walks, checking out new parks, the beach and just lounging around having a lazy day. I’m good with all breeds and have experience and patience for all. I work part time with lots of flexibility. I am able to switch shifts and block off dates in short notice. I can help whenever needed. I pet sit in my own home. I have a large backyard with lots of space. Tall fences and secure locks. The house is large too and dogs are allowed on furniture.
“Rebecca is a star. My little ones love her. Atila gets lots of pets, a pee break and a walk. Nori always pees and poops, enjoys the walk and showers Rebecca with kisses.”
“Highly recommend! Megan was so helpful especially when I had an unfortunate emergency to handle that changed the plans for my dog. She was very adaptive, understanding and made it a point to communicate with me consistently. I knew my dog was in good hands!”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I've owned three dogs, two of these dogs I had throughout my childhood and one is the dog I own currently and currently own two rescue cats, and I've also cared for family members' and friends' pets while they were away. My experience includes caring for dogs ranging from 30-pound companions to large breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Dobermans. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs. When I adopted my rescue cats as kittens, both required medication and extra attention during their recovery. One had a respiratory infection, and the other was treated for a UTI. These experiences taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of closely monitoring an animal's health and behavior. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, compassion, and respect that I give my own. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company, my goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my lifelong dreams is to open a nonprofit animal sanctuary and continue helping animals in need. At the moment, I have a flexible and open schedule. This means I can fully dedicate my time, attention, and energy to caring for your pets and accommodating their needs. I will take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs by asking pet parents how they typically care for their pet. I believe every pet is different, so I make sure to learn any specific instructions, preferences, or important details before providing care. I never assume I know what’s best for someone else’s pet and always follow the owner’s guidance closely. My goal is to provide consistent, personalized care so each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. In my own home I will still ensure I follow the owners guidance of their pet and ensure they are happy and comfortable in my home with my dog and cats!

About: Lifelong experience with dogs. Growing up I have owned both lab and pitbull type dogs, but that is just my personal ownership. I have cared for puppies and older dogs, and have cared for all my dogs into their senior 14 plus years. Friends and family have used me as their most regular dog sitter for their loved ones. I've ranged in babysitting dogs from a larger size like boxer, lab, pitbull, goldendoodles, to as small as bichon frise, pugs and French bulldogs. I work from home the majority of my days so when I am sitting dogs are always supervised by me and have my full attention. I live near a nature reserve so I enjoy taking pets on long (or short) walks around the neighborhood and we also have a community dog park if you enjoy letting your pets play there. I really just enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes and am honored to be so trusted watching people's loved pets. I currently work from home so I am available to supervise pets full time in my apartment. I typically work from 8-4, but can take frequent breaks for feedings, potty breaks, play time and anything else your pet may need. I do go to the gym in the afternoons, but I am away from home for a max of an hour and the gym is right in front of my community within walking distance if needed to get back home quickly. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding as my schedule does not change often, so your pet will have my full attention while they are at my home. I am surrounded by nature and am also close to several trails if your pet likes longer walks. I live in a pet friendly community and also have access to a community dog park that we can easily visit if you like. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I am a big fan of all snuggles. In my home I have space for 1-2 dogs. I have an open area to place a crate for your dog as well a bed or any other accessories your pet will need. I'm home full time so whatever feeding/walking schedule you have your pets on I will be able to accommodate for them.
“What an wonderful experience my Pyper had. It was like she was on vacation. She felt right at home, loved all the attention, activity & love. The photo/ video updates were invaluable to me. I was referred by a friend who has used their services & am so happy we now have the opportunity & pleasure to use them as well.”
“David is absolutely amazing! He watched my senior dog while I was out of town for a weekend and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog Cupid felt like he was at home and not with a stranger. David by far is the best host I think anyone can ask and I’ll always be using David in the future! Only downside is I feel like my dog Cupid didn’t want to come with me because he has such a great time with David lol”
“Elyse took our dog Buttercup last minute when our plans changed. She kept her for five days. She communicated quickly with any questions I had and sent me updates. Buttercup was very well cared for and seemed very content and comfortable when we picked her up. I would not hesitate to leave her there again. Her and her husband and son are obvious animal lovers.”
“I would highly recommend Martha & Brett for taking care of your fur babies. They were very attentive to our dog's needs and we're very accommodating. We will definitely use their services again.”
“our jackie enjoyed being with kevin. his dogs accepted her into their fold and she enjoyed their company. kevin sent up update pictures every day, which we appreciated. we will ask for kevin if we travel again. thank you!”
“Jason and his wife were exceptional with my puppy. I had constant updates and pictures. She was always with someone, having, fun, or sleeping. I know she was spoiled! They were also amazing at following her schedule and continuing her command training. I felt really good leaving my puppy with them for a week!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Noemi. Her home is immaculate and she gave our dog lots of opportunities for exercise at the dog park, walking and in her fenced area. Will definitely use her again.”
“Alli and her family did a great job with our pups. She sent regular photos and treated them like her own. She was very responsive and flexible with our drop off and pick up times.”
“Lisa was wonderful! She kept me in the loop and I could tell Chassie was being cared for well with nice walks and a safe place to call home while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“This was my first experience using a pet sitter. We've always used a kennel, but for a two-week trip, I wanted to try something different. I chose to do a meet-and-greet with Jean because of her great reviews. She texted photos of my beagle daily enjoying his walks, hanging out on the couch, and relaxing on the back patio. I think he had as much fun as we did. It was wonderful being able to enjoy our vacation without any worries whatsoever about our dog. Jean is competent and conscientious following all of our instructions and tips. She really made an effort to understand our dog's routine and I think he felt completely at home. I will definitely book her again and will try to schedule future trips around her availability.”
“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!”
