“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! 🤍”

“Kendra was great with watching my cat Cricket and giving him medicine while we were out of town, she was super detailed with questions about caring for him and with her reports every day. Cricket can be shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Kendra was kind, understanding, and super patient!”

“Valerie cared for our pets Ruby, Zeus,Zoya and Sunny- a dog and 3 cats. We also have an aquarium. She also fed our fish. Our senior dog Ruby had several indoor poop and pee accidents indoor in between visits much more than usual. Valerie cleaned up each time she came for drop-in visits. Ruby is usually very anxious when we return from trips but this time she didn’t seem anxious at all. Will recommend Valerie.”
“Amber was kind and very easy to work with! Had a few specific requirements due to getting a new kitten, and she was very understanding! Even stopped by the day before so she could meet the cats. Highly recommend if you’re in South Tampa area!”

“Anna was perfect for my little Obi. She delivered excellent care, and Obi was very fond of her. It was my first time leaving him for a while, but Anna made sure I always knew he was safe, fed, and happy Will definitely book Anna again and recommend to friends.”
“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was about for about 7 years for neighbors and friends. I have also walked my elderly neighbor's dog for them when they were unable to. I am currently working full time but I love to go on long walks in my spare time! I enjoy being outside and meeting new fur babies. Depending on how you request, I could meet you at your front door or come into your home to retrieve your fur baby to take them on a walk. I do understand that living in Florida where is mostly hot and humid and some dogs cannot handle the heat or become exhausted easily. However long you request to have your dog walked I will bring a water bowl for your pet to stay hydrated. :) I am currently working full time but I am trying to open up my schedule more by the end of summer. But I am currently available on the weekends and some days during the week. I can be flexible to just message me and I will let you know! Walking your dog around your neighborhood where your fur baby is familiar is important to me! I will make sure your fur baby has plenty of water and time to enjoy themselves on our walk. For drop ins I will sit with your baby as long as is needed. Making sure they get cuddles, stimulation, meds, and just some human time.
“Aubrey was fantastic, she's a great communicator and so clearly loves animals! My kitties warmed up to her quickly and were very calm and happy when I returned home. Will definitely rebook!”
“Sarah was so great with my cat Junie and took great care of her! She was accommodating with our needs and sent the best updates, as well as met at my house before unprompted. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your baby!”
“Allen was amazing. He went above and beyond taking care of our cat while we were away for 8 days. He was very reliable and showed up at the scheduled time each day. Allen sent us photos and videos each day and spent time with our cat who is very skittish, to establish trust. I highly recommend Allen - he was fabulous!”

“Evgenia was a great sitter! She played with my puppy outside a lot and took him on a couple of walks. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures!”
“Samuel was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off, which made everything so easy and simple. Thank you again for taking such good care of Frénki. I really appreciate it!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle. My dog is super anxious, so I was really worried about leaving her in someone else’s care—but the minute Michelle opened the door, Mabel ran right in. It was an instant bond. Both Mabel and I could immediately feel Michelle’s warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing she’s an experienced dog sitter and that Mabel was in such good hands. When I picked Mabel up, she was calm and happy. Now, whenever we go back, Mabel runs straight through the door, so excited to see her—which says everything.”
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Jeni grew up with German Shepherds and has always had a dog in the home. She began pet sitting as a service for friends and family 15 years ago. Marc also grew up with family dogs and, for the past 13 years, he’s loved on his own high-energy pup, Cooper. Now as a married couple we have a “blended family” with our senior dog Cooper and our adult dog Leila as our loyal companions. Because we both work from home with flexible schedules, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We love animals of all sizes and personalities and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether you need us to watch your dog in our home, drop in for visits, or take them on a walk, your furbaby will be in great hands! For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. Since we both work from home, we’re able to let our own dogs outside whenever they want to go - yours will be treated just like our own! Our goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. We’re always happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into our flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing frequent walks, playtime, feeding, and attentive supervision throughout the day. Our flexible schedule also gives us the chance to take the dogs on a walk through the day. 🐾 We have two dogs and a securely fenced in yard where they play outside many times a day. For stays in our home, dogs can be let outside as often as they want to go outside. For drop in visits, we follow your instructions and requests.
About: I have taken care of all the animals, fish, dogs big and small and the kitties! I love all the animals! Can’t wait to meet them! I work a very flexible job! Would be able to go check on your babies throughout the day and stay over night whenever needed! :) I am a homebody so I am good to stay and hang out with your animal as needed! I can also do drop ins and come back and let them out late and back early in the am! We can take long walks or just let them have a sniff-ari 😉. I treat them like they are my own! I can also board your sweet babies with me at my boyfriend’s apartment! He’s doesn't have any animals so it’s a great place for animals if they need to be alone!
“Matt made me feel completely at ease from the start. Luna was well cared for, and I could tell she was comfortable and happy. Communication was great, and I truly appreciate the peace of mind. I’m looking forward to booking with him regularly!”
“Danni was amazing! Her dog was so calm, gentle, and great with Millie. She sent frequent updates and gave Millie all the attention she craves. She was patient and took Millie on several walks. We will be back! Thank you Danni!”
About: I've had dogs all my life and gone through extensive dog training as well as being a foster mom for the Southeast Beagle Rescue. I currently have a beagle named Riley that I adopted through the Humane Society and was unfortunately one of the 4000 Envigo beagles that were rescued. He loves playing with other dogs and is very social. I work from home, which gives me time to spend with your dog. This also makes drop off and pick up convenient for everyone. I also have a two Dog maximum limit. About my home/services: I live in a cozy condo I own in South Tampa with a fenced in backyard. I am fine with dogs on the couch and bed. I have experience with older dogs, special needs animals and administering medication. Expect a lot of pictures and videos of your dog having fun! I require a meet and greet. This way you and your dog will be more comfortable when you leave them in my care since it will not be the first time we have met when you drop them off leading to less stress when you leave. Criteria: Activity level low to medium. Absolutely no puppies. No dogs that bark at everything (unless someone knocks at the door) or dogs with separation anxiety. We look forward to meeting you. 🐶 I work from home, which gives me time to spend with your dog. This also makes drop off and pick up convenient for everyone. Drop off and pick up times are from 8 AM to 9 PM. I have a fenced in backyard. Dogs are allowed on the bed and couch. Feel free to bring their bed or anything else that makes them comfortable. Whatever your rules are, they are the rules here so if they aren't allowed on furniture...no problem.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was about 12 years old, from pet sitting for friends and family to helping care for dogs at my boyfriend’s family’s dog kennel in Virginia. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day! My schedule is flexible for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I only accept bookings when I know I’ll be home and able to give your pet the time and care they deserve. I live in a spacious apartment in a gated community with plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Their safety and comfort are always my priority.
“Brier was so great with my little yorkie. He went to her a few times for day care. He would have so much fun all day with her pups Milo and Marvin. She was also great at communication with sending updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend 10/10. Thank you Brier.”
About: I am an absolute pet lover! Any time I see a dog, I stop and bond with it. We had a miniature poodle for over 17 years, who I miss daily. I have a special way with animals and shower them with love! I work from home, so I have flexibility! Because I create my own schedule, I can make sure to prioritize a pet’s needs and give them my full attention! I am very devoted to all animals I care for. They have my full attention and become my priority for the time I care for them.
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have over 5 years of experience pet sitting for dogs of all different breeds and sizes, including senior dogs. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with a dog park. I don’t have any other pets or children living with me, so you can rest assured your fur baby will have a calm environment with my full attention. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away! I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as easy and worry-free as possible! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so often can accept last-minute bookings. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on a weekly or as-needed basis. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a dog park and since I don’t have pets of my own, they will have plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and send daily photo updates to give you peace of mind 😊
“Bruno’s first Rover experience went well! He can be selective and wary of strangers but Melinda and David made him feel comfortable and took it slow with him. Will book again! Thank you!”
“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”

“We used Cynthia 3 yrs ago when my brother got married so when it was my sister's turn we knew exactly who we wanted... Cynthia. She had simply asked if anything had changed. She remembered everything (which was a blessing because we forgot to inform her... lol) She was excited to see Peach and Pepper again and I knew that they were excited to see her. Thank you Cynthia for taking such good care of your babies again. ❤️”

I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine.

My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable, loving care in a safe environment.
“Andy took great care of our two finicky senior pups. He genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being! He is very communicative and sends pics of their walks. He is on time for their walks, even worked around the rain because they were afraid to go out. Recommend 100%”

About: As the owner of a young (crazy) German Shepherd, I personally understand that high-energy and working-breed dogs greatly benefit from lots of physical activity, mental engagement, and confident care. I also understand how particular you may be about the person caring for your dog, because I feel the same way about mine. This is why I have a high standard of care for the dogs I take care of, and I pride myself on being dependable, observant, and attentive to their safety. I am especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer walks/runs and drop-ins tailored to each dog’s energy level, personality, routine, and needs. I am available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would love to see your pup routinely, but I also accept same-day bookings on these days! My availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays is limited to early mornings, which will need to be scheduled the day before at the latest! Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. If you so choose, I would love to have a meet-and-greet before our first booking, but this is not required! During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and provide extra space from unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, traffic, or anything else that could make your dog uncomfortable or overly excited. I will never allow your dog off leash or introduce them to another animal. Living in Florida, I always monitor the weather, pavement temperature, and your dog’s behavior and will adjust the intensity of our activity accordingly. For drop-ins, I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, potty, play, and home-security instructions. I’ll also send lots of photos and a detailed update after each visit so you know how your pet is doing!
“Bre was absolutely great! I had a scheduling issue with my original plans, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She adjusted the schedule to fit my family’s needs, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate. It was clear she genuinely cared about helping everything go smoothly. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and willingness to work with us. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and understanding dog sitter/walker.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7! While I don't have any of my own right now I've always been responsible for the household pets! I have also dog sat three dogs at once for a close family friend (two large dogs and one wiener dog). I'm an animal lover to my core! I'm closing out my Spring semester of college, so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pups! I have some other part-time jobs, but I will never take on a job I don't feel I could do to the highest quality! I have a fenced-in yard with space to roam! I live with my younger brother, who is 10 years old, so if your pup doesn't do well with kids, a sleepover at mine might not be the best fit! However, I'm more than happy to come to yours instead! I can perform any task your pup needs; from feeding to playtime, I do it all!

“Spencer was amazing. Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was taken care of. I highly recommend using Spencer for any of your pet care!”
About: I have my own pets and know how I would want someone to treat my animals :) looking to fill in my day with sunshine and pets! I have plenty of time for walks or drop in visits, and am happy to work with dogs and cats. I am looking to get out of my work environment and spend time with animals I will care for your pets like I would my own, and will drop in and/or walk pets happily. I have a very energetic dog at home so am used to active dogs as well as lazy ones :)
About: I’ve had dogs for 20 years. I used to volunteer for the SPCA to help walk, bathe, clean and train dogs. I really enjoy working with dogs and figuring out what makes them happy! I’m currently taking classes and have loads of time for walking, boarding, or going to your house to take care of your animals. I look forward to meeting them! I have a fenced in yard in the back of the house. I have one dog - a Jack Russell / chihuahua mix (we think- she’s a rescue!)
“Aubrey, thanks for being so sweet with Halo. We really appreciate that you give us from your time to take care of him last minute. Thanks for the communication and the professionalism. Hopefully Halo can see you again. God bless”
About: I've had my own dog for 11 years now, before that I grew up with a family chocolate lab. I've always had dogs in my life and my sister is a vet so I've experienced a lot and learned a lot. I would never let a dog get hurt! I treat dogs like humans :) I know what to do in many different situations because I've had experience with dogs my entire life, big and small. My boyfriend and I have watched a dog overnight for 2 weeks before. Our dog, Piper is nice and relaxed and gets along well with others. She loves having a friend around like she did when I was in college living with my roommate who had a Maltese. Day to day: I wake up at 7, walk my dog, then feed her. We hang out, I might go run some errands and puppy proof the apartment before I leave. I'll come back and let her out again. At night I let her out once after I feed her at 7, so about 8:30, then once more before I go to bed. I play with my dog a lot and she likes to snuggle. I would do all these things for your dog and anything else you request! My schedule is flexible, so I can fit walks into your dog’s routine with ease. I’m based in South Tampa and happy to travel up to 45 minutes. I keep my bookings consistent and reliable, and I’ll always show up on time and ready to give your pup a great walk. Since I offer dog walking, I come to you and care for your dog in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions on leashing, routes, and routine exactly. Safety is my top priority: I keep your dog leashed, avoid hazards, stay alert to their body language, and never put them in a situation that feels off. My sister is a vet, so I know how to spot when something is wrong.
“Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!”

We will definitely use Michael again.”

“Emory and Quinn were fantastic. They are great with our older but energetic dog and provided lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. They went above and beyond for us when we had delays getting back home on time.”
“We had the best experience with Victoria and Connor! Even though our girls only stayed for one night, we received so many pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. They looked so happy and comfortable and I could tell they were genuinely enjoying their time there (maybe a little too much 😂). We’ll absolutely be booking with them again! ❤️”
“Kyle watched my Lab/Shepherd mix, Maverick, while I was away for a wedding last weekend. From the start, he, his girlfriend, and their two dogs made me feel completely comfortable leaving Maverick in their care. Highly recommend to anyone in the Tampa area looking for someone trustworthy and reliable to watch their dog.”
“Melinda and David, we're wonderful with the Athena. She appeared happy in all the photos. It was our first rover and we would definitely come back again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of numerous breeds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Dogs can sense my good nature, and feel safe and comfortably being handled by me, and they’re usually not reluctant to share affection with me. 😊 I have 4 days off per week to care for pets. The other 3 days I work 6 hours fairly close to my house so I can return home quickly. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to explore and release all of its energy. I also like going on walks. I’m happy to provide attention to a pet that needs it in the home. I will pet and play fetch or other games as needed.
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”
“Madelyn, her husband, and their pup Ivy were fantastic with my doodle! They provided updates and photos and took great care of him! When I picked him up, he was happy and exhausted from playtime! Would absolutely trust them to watch Logan again!”
