Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tampa
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tampa
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met her, we knew Luna was in great hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Luna wasn’t just being watched…she was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your dog like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Luna!”
“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“Hermun did a thorough meet and greet and made sure Bella and I were comfortable and accommodated. She has always been flexible with my schedule and sends pics and updates. Bella loves snuggling with Max!”
“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”
“Nicole was great with our dog and provided us with pictures and updates. Our dog follows a strict diet and take medications- these were not an issue for Nicole. We felt comfortable leaving our baby with her and plan to use her for future stays.”
“"She was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was traveling to Tampa. She is very caring, loving, and responsible. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. When I came back, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!"”
“My pup loved her time with Virginia. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety to the max, but was calm and relaxed the whole time she was with Virginia. She sent daily photos letting me know my pup was well cared for and loved. Can't recommend Virginia enough.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Catherine far exceeded my expectations! She agreed to a meet and greet with my pup and me before boarding started, and I could immediately feel her warmth (and my pup felt comfortable too). Catherine kept me updated, sending me pictures daily. She was so kind and took such good care of my girl. I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”
“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”
“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!”
“Amazing! My dog loved Shayna from the moment she met her! Was very calm, easy process and we appreciated the pics and updates from Shayna too! Loved it, thank you. Hope to see Shayna again!”
“We were very happy with Margarita and Clarissa. They treated our dog with love and care. They sent pictures and gave updates almost every day. Their home is large and comfortable.”
“We first did a meet and greet with Rachel and her dog, Zeplin. The dogs were just fine together. I would definitley board again with Rachel. She was communicative and sent pictures of my dog doing just fine every day. She even worked with me on my pick up schedule since my flight was late getting back into town. Very nice!!”
“Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Madisyn is the best! She truly loves my dogs and put my mind at ease. This was the first time leaving them so I was nervous but Madisyn sent lots of pics and videos showing how much fun they were having. I will always take my pups here when we travel.”
“Chante was great with my dog. She was very attentive and communicative. My dog was very well taken care of and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Matt watched Luna for 10 nights while my family and I traveled for the holidays. Luna was well taken care of and came home happy and healthy. We would definitely consider using Matt again for overnight pet sitting.”
“Eileen and her partner were great! She was very sweet and patient with my rather anxious dog. It always takes him a long while to warm up, but it sounded like he warmed up pretty quick to them. He also ate his a lot of his food, which is unusual because usually he’ll go on a starvation diet. He obviously felt very comfortable and well taken care of. She was so kind to send me so many updates and pictures on how he was doing. I will definitely ask Eileen to watch him again.”
“Samuel took wonderful care of Coco. Communication was great from the start, and he kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. His home and location were perfect and made drop-off easy, and Coco was comfortable right away. She’ll definitely be back—she already misses him!”

“Katie is amazing! I always feel so comfortable trusting her to take care of my little guy whenever I go on trips. She is very communicative and always gives my cat the best care and attention while she is watching him. I truly appreciate being able to trust that my little guy is doing good while he is in her care!”
“Kory did a great job watching my cat Mojo, he spent time with him and gave me updates everyday :) Highly recommend Kory to take care of your pet”
“Shelby is an incredible sitter! Shelby took amazing care of our cats, sending pictures of the cats eating, playing, as well as sending pictures of clean litter too! Shelby is also extremely timely and communicative, making it a stress free time away from our cats! We’ll definitely be booking through Shelby in the future so long as they are available!”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing with our cat, Ray! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared for her like she was her own. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Ray can be particular, and Chloe was so patient and loving with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would 100% recommend Chloe to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐈⬛🤍”
“I’ll never stop giving Bekah 5 stars. She goes above and beyond every time and makes me feel so much better about leaving my senior cat. I’m so grateful for her!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for my entire life and currently have three cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’ve also cat-sat for neighbors and have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering lots of playtime and attention, and making sure your cat stays happy and comfortable while you’re away. I know that every cat is different, so I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own and keep you updated along the way for your peace of mind.
“I would highly recommend Kelsey to care for your pets! She is extremely thoughtful in her care and went above and beyond, playing, and making sure my two cats were happy and loved while I was away. She provided photos and always kept us updated, so I had complete peace of mine while I was out of town. She is communicative, and was so caring with our cats!”
“Oh my gosh Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cat Tiki, my cat was going through a medical situation throughout the time Jenna was watching her and she handled it so well and I came back from vacation to a much healthier cat! I’m so impressed by her communication and tender care towards my cat. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anybody!”
“What can I say, Jordan is by far the best pet sitter! My Olive can't wait to have her cat sit again. Jordan is very responsive, very prompt with timing, and never shorts on the time spent. I've never had so many photos of my Olive before, it felt like I was with Olive even from another country. I highly recommend Jordan's services!”
“Addison was amazing with my 3 cats! It was so reassuring to be on vacation and know my cats were well-loved and taken care of while I was gone. Highly recommend!!”
“Virginia was absolutely wonderful with our cats Orange and Saja! She followed all the instructions carefully, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Isabel was amazing. She came over to meet my cats before I left and they were instantly in love with her, which is not their norm. Usually, my older cat is skittish and standoffish, but he loved her immediately. She took such amazing care of them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I came home to no anxiety from my cats, which is super rare. 11/10. My partner and I are going to call her every time we leave town.”
“In short, hire Beth to watch your fur babies! We have a picky cat who does not like to be alone at night, so Beth took her into her home for a week while we were out of town. She sent photos daily and really bonded with her. Her home is super clean and tidy and I could tell that she cared for our girl as if she was her own. Personally, I worry about everything but did not have one moment of worry for our cat while we were away. Beth stuck to the cat's normal schedule and let her go out on the balcony for a bit during the day when it was not too hot. Beth was professional from the first moment I messaged her and was kind enough to come to our home and do a meet and greet. We will have her watch our cat and also our dog again in the future.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tampa
About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Matt took great care of our goldendoodle. Leo was excited to see Matt every morning for day care. Matt was very accommodating to our last minute booking. So glad we were able to connect with Matt.”
“Pamela was so incredibly helpful by taking my little buddy last minutes notice. She sent tons of fun photo updates. I will definitely recommend her and am so glad I have a new sitter I can count on when I’m in need.”
About: I love dogs so much and would love to walk any pups in the Channelside/Water Street/Harbour Island areas! I’m always happy to watch my friends pets and treat them like they’re my own. I would love to walk your pups on both the weekends and weekdays. I work remote so I am flexible! I’d be happy to schedule reoccurring walks as well. I love dogs so much and would be doing this for pure enjoyment! With that being said, I will take care of your pup like they are my own. I am a very cautious walker just because I used to have a small senior dog and will walk your dog with the same care.
“Madisyn is so kind and easy to work with and she truly cares about your pup you leave in her care. She is great at sending you updates and is has adorable pups of her own. Evie is always so excited to spend the day over.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. I have experience caring for pets who need extra attention, including senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical needs. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines, as I have my own pets who require daily medication and extra support. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy planning my time around each pet's needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. My biggest priority when caring for pets is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, behaviors, and changes in mood or energy. Having pets of my own, including ones with health needs, I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and notice when something seems off.
“Rachel was great with Honey! She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and Honey looked happy as a clam in every photo. Rachel also was willing to work with my schedule, was kind, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her! 💛”
“How did we know our princess was in good hands? When she literally ran up the steps to see her new BFF Penny. Can't forget to mention Amanda and Matthew are amazing. It's nice to know we can leave our girl and know she will be loved and cared for.”
“Evgenia was able to watch Shadow on very short notice, and I really appreciate it. She is nice, communicates well, and most importantly, she took great care of my baby. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Danielle was incredible! I am always nervous to leave our dogs somewhere new, but Danielle truly went above and beyond. We got so many pictures and updates throughout their daycare. She was so incredibly sweet and communicative. We found our new favorite Tampa sitter!”
“Burphee enjoyed himself and felt safe with her. She was extremely caring and made sure I was comfortable with the whole process too. I highly recommend.”

I absolutely love giving pets lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and of course, plenty of love. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! You can expect lots of updates, photos, and a calm and attentive home environment.

About: Hello, potential new friend, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I regularly puppy-sit guide dogs in training and have been educated on the specific standards and routines they must follow. This experience has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and responsible pet care. Dogs and pups will always have close supervision, which is why I only like to pup sit two dogs at a time for an intimate sitting experience. I know all the nearby dog-friendly places to go. At night, I love cuddling up with pets. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly. I am ready and prepared to host your puppy. I even have a puppy first aid kit in our house, and our vet is less than a 5 min drive away, just in case. As you can see dogs are my passion and I will care for your pooch with love and kindness.

I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can closely follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, playtime, medication, and rest routine. I also have availability for daytime, evening, weekend, and some last-minute requests. My home is currently pet-free, so visiting dogs and cats can enjoy a calm environment without having to adjust to resident animals. Pets are welcome on the sofa and are encouraged to relax and make themselves comfortable. I provide close supervision, keep doors and entryways secure, and carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prefer to care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one receives plenty of individual attention.
About: I am a dog lover with lots of love and care to give ! I have had animals all my life and currently have a sweet senior dog. I am comfortable with taking care of dogs of all age ranges. I work fully remote which makes me available during both the day and the evenings. Both my dog and I are active , so we enjoy our walks. Because I am home during the day, I am able to offer lots of love and attention. I have a senior dog who is unbothered by most things , but still enjoys her walks. We are often out and about getting exercise. I live in a very dog friendly area so there are a lot of new things to sniff and check out.

I make sure she’s fed, has a clean space, gets plenty of attention and playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. She’s very social and loves being around people, so I’m used to having a pet as part of my everyday life. Caring for her has also taught me how important it is to be consistent with a pet’s routine and give them the attention they need. My apartment is a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets. I’m very mindful about keeping doors and windows secure and making sure there aren’t things around that could be harmful to them.🤍🐈

He always does a great job, and I feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands. I definitely highly recommend Shelby for anyone looking for reliable, positive, and professional dog walking services! 🐾”

“Kelsey was truly amazing! I hired her last minute after my previous walker moved, and she was incredibly accommodating, which meant so much since my dog is a newly adopted rescue. She was always on time, very responsive, and kept me at ease with her detailed report cards after each walk. It was clear that she treated Honey like her own dog and genuinely cared about her comfort and happiness. I’m so grateful to have found Kelsey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker.”

“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”
“We first did a meet and greet with Rachel and her dog, Zeplin. The dogs were just fine together. I would definitley board again with Rachel. She was communicative and sent pictures of my dog doing just fine every day. She even worked with me on my pick up schedule since my flight was late getting back into town. Very nice!!”
“Madisyn is the best! She truly loves my dogs and put my mind at ease. This was the first time leaving them so I was nervous but Madisyn sent lots of pics and videos showing how much fun they were having. I will always take my pups here when we travel.”
“Chante was great with my dog. She was very attentive and communicative. My dog was very well taken care of and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Matt watched Luna for 10 nights while my family and I traveled for the holidays. Luna was well taken care of and came home happy and healthy. We would definitely consider using Matt again for overnight pet sitting.”
“Samuel took wonderful care of Coco. Communication was great from the start, and he kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. His home and location were perfect and made drop-off easy, and Coco was comfortable right away. She’ll definitely be back—she already misses him!”
“Kory took such good care of our boys. We got lots of daily pics of them being silly pups. We would have him watch our boys again and definitely recommend him to others as a sitter.”
“My chocolate lab just stayed with Elena and Meiru. I love their property it’s specious and clean, enough room for my pup to run around, The house also feels safe and sitters are caring. My pup seems very calm while he is there and enjoy the company of their dog. I will board him again. Sitters send daily report and pictures, which is very comforting. Thank you”
“Bella was so great with my pup Gino. She sent so many photos and updates while I was away and he came back to me happy and healthy. I will definitely be a return customer and can confidently recommend her to others!”
“Grace was awesome - she took amazing care of my dog and was in great communication with me the entire time. I felt at ease and she was very flexible with me as my plans were changing for drop off and pickup. Her family took awesome care of my dog - would book in the future!”
“Melinda and David were so understanding of our dog’s needs. He is very nervous around new people and just needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let him warm up. They immediately understood this and did everything we asked to make him and us feel comfortable.”
“Katherine is great. I love how attentive and caring she is to our dog. This was our second time that he stayed with them and we plan on scheduling more visits in the future. I highly recommend!!!”
“Lynne and Chuck were both so kind and loving with our puppy Sophie. Lynne responded promptly to our messages and sent pictures and videos of our girl, which warmed our hearts while we were away from her. We also appreciated that they could accommodate a pick up and drop off since our schedules were very tight. Sophie came back to us a happy pup.”
“Cynthia and her family were AMAZING! She sent lots of pics and videos to keep me updated during my dog’s stay and made sure he was a happy camper all weekend long :) will absolutely be rebooking with her and would recommend to everyone!”
“Absolutely Amazing! Super patient. Great with my dog who tends to pull a lot on walks. Great communication. Updated me throughout the stay. Viviana made a stressful trip waaaay easier. Thanks Viviana!!!”
