“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.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, especially French Bulldogs, and have experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even horses. I also volunteered at a dog rescue in Chicago for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous, need patience, or simply take a little extra time to warm up. I currently have a very friendly French Bulldog of my own, so I’m especially familiar with dogs who need a little extra attention or have health considerations. He recently had spinal surgery, which has given me firsthand experience with giving medication, following restrictions, keeping up with special care instructions, and being extra attentive to a dog’s comfort and mobility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog wants three long walks a day and nonstop playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love having animals around and treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible and allows me to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches while I’m at work. I’m able to take multiple walks throughout the day, accommodate different potty schedules, give medications or additional care when needed, and adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!
“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”
“Maxine was amazing. She kept me informed on how my pup was doing the entire stay and took him on tons of adventures. She truly loved on my pup and he came home very happy and rested. Will definitely book again :)”
“My fur baby had another great stay with Nicole! Nicole was super accommodating with my stay request. And as I experienced before she was, prompt with responding, great communication and shared photo updates. I definitely plan to book with Nicole again in the future.”
“Hermun was AWESOME! My dog Periwinkle loved staying with her and didn't want to leave. Her beagle Max was such a beautiful and fun-loving companion for my beagle, making her feel right at home. Hermun was so flexible and kind. She sent me happy pictures throughout Periwinkle's stay, making me feel like I made the best choice in picking her. I would highly recommend Hermun as dog sitter. She made the weekend wonderful. 5 stars! No...make that 10 stars!”
“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Samuel was awesome! Theo had a wonderful stay in a lovely neighborhood! Samuel was extremely responsive, sent updates and pictures, and was flexible for our drop off and pick up times. We couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies! Very thankful to find such an excellent and professional home to host our furriest family member.”
“Highly recommend! My dog returned home relaxed, fresh, and incredibly happy. It is such a relief to find someone who takes such amazing care of my pup. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we will definitely be booking again!”
“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.”
“Catherine was great! She kept us updated with cute pictures and gave chai all the love when we were gone. Would recommend and definitely will be using her again!”
“Peaches loves staying with Aisha. She takes such good care of my baby. Tail is always wagging and tongue hanging out when I go pick her up! Aisha is caring and I trust her very much with my dog! Thank you!!”
“Elena and her family did a super job in taking care of my buddy Levi. Always considerate, always caring and always professional. The communication was great. The experience will be repeated.”
“Beyond excellent. Cash loved his stay and Matt was fantastic about communicating with us and sending pictures. Cash will be staying with Matt again and again!!”
“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.”
“Eileen was so patient and kind. My little guy had just experienced a stressful trip and found himself in Eileen’s care because Mom was going away again but this time without him. He was not his typical self and he was anxious. Eileen handled him so well and I am grateful for her excellent care.”
“Haley took the best care of my baby. She gave constant updates and made sure she was happy and gave her so much love and care. Along with just taking amazing care of my pup, Haley is super kind and was quick to take care of her even though it was very last minute.”
“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”

“Chloe watched my 2 kitty babies while I was out of town and she was absolutely incredible! They’re usually really shy and hide but they warmed up to her right away. She always fed them on time and took the time to give them extra pets and treats. She’s super communicative and very friendly and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“She was great with keeping me up to date on her visits with the cutest messages and videos. You can tell she really loves hanging out with your pet. I will definitely book with her for my next vacation!”
“Tara was truly phenomenal! Watching a brand new kitten and adult cat who are still getting to know each other is not easy, but she was wonderful and did everything and more that I asked of her. She was clean, punctual, friendly, playful, and knew what she was doing with my fur babies! I would trust her again and again.”
“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!!”
“Kelsey is amazing! We’re new to the area and are so happy we finally found a pet sitter we can trust! Our kitten liked her right away. Kelsey is accommodating, respectful, and someone you can 100% trust to take care of your pets. Highly recommend.”
“Natalie is a responsible and enthusiastic pet sitter! I trust her not only to take care of my kitty’s basic needs but I also know she goes above and beyond to keep him entertained and know that he is loved even when mama is away!! She has a job with me if I am going out of town!”
“So grateful Carly was able to watch our cat for our 9 day trip. She fed and kept him company twice a day and made us feel so much better about leaving. Our cat seemed very comfortable with her!”
“Bekah has gone above and beyond to take care of my girls. She did a very important favor for me last minute, that really helped me in a tough situation while I was out of town. I recommend Bekah to watch anyone’s pet, she’s a pro!”
“Kelsey was so great! She is always quick to respond and is so sweet. My cat was so happy when I got home, I’m glad to know she had great company while I was away. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets on and off for the past several years while they’re out of town and I currently have a cat of my own! I'm a student at the University with classes Monday-Friday but I have breaks throughout the day and I'm completely available at night on weekdays and all during the weekends. I would make sure any gates are locked if letting the pets outside and that they’re properly fed throughout the day with enough water as well.

“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!”
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.
“Very thankful for Matt...he took my baby last minute as we were traveling & wanted to attend somewhere that wasn't dog friendly. He sent pics & updated how my dog was doing & my baby was happy when we picked him back up. 5 started from us & thankful. Recommend!”
“Hailey is wonderful and we felt completely secure with our dog Tilly in her care. Constant updates and communication along with a very relaxed pup when we picked her up. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Pamela is the best. We trust our puppy is in good hands and our puppy loves coming to her house every week. She goes above & beyond on her Rover cards with details and she makes sure to communicate anything your pet needs. We couldn't have found a better sitter to take care of our dog!! 100% Recommended!!!”
About: I've had fur babies for 14+ years now. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me with their love ones for periods of time and we have had an amazing connection and experience! I actually work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to watch the furbabies closely everyday and help taking multiple breaks during the day. Also, very flexible on making visits during the day. I have big fenced yard where babies can run and enjoy time outside. Love walking, so if visiting your babies at your place, I'd more than happy to provide whatever amount of walking they need to reset. Happy to give them company and share trust with you that your babies and home will be safe once I leave.
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.
“Crystal was amazing with my puppy! She spent two full workdays with Scout while I had to be in the office, and since Scout is only 12 weeks old and full of energy, that’s no small task. Crystal handled everything so well and made me feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“They were so accommodating and took excellent care of our puppy while we hit the theme park all day. It was so easy and close by that I would give them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend them to anyone!!”
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. Free any day except Tuesdays :) I would love to walk your pups on both the weekends and weekdays. I am not available on Tuesdays. 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.

I will/ can provide transportation if need be, and 24 hour service for your pet!
“Natali & KJ were AWESOME! This was my first time using a service like this for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier. My dog is reactive and requires a special touch, which he received, better than I could have expected. The updates and pictures throughout the day plus “report card” after were so appreciated. I will absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Chante was great! We needed someone to watch our 6 month old puppy for a couple of days of daycare and our pup had a great time! She played all day in Chante’s large fenced in backyard with Makeda and came home happy and sleepy! Chante was super accommodating of our schedules and super quick to respond throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups!”
“Danielle is one of the best I've found on Rover! She was very communicative and so great with my Theo. She sent me tons of pictures and several updates throughout the day which made me feel so much more comfortable. I would definitely bring Theo over to stay with her whenever I am in Tampa again! <3”

“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.”

“Brian was always on time and communicative! Our dog started showing signs of a stomach ache (which is not abnormal for her) but he let us know right away and kept us updated each time he saw her.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

“Salina took my pup on a walk every afternoon while I was at work. I was nervous having someone take care of her as she can be reactive and hadn’t been taken care of by anyone else before but Salina was great with her! She met her, took detailed notes and asked about her special needs beforehand. Every walk she would update a detailed report of how the afternoon went and noted anything out of the ordinary. I felt 100% comfortable with Salina taking care of her. 10/10 would recommend!”

I work from home twice a week and my husband is fully remote so between the two of us we will be home with your pup all day to watch them closely and ensure they are never alone.

We took our dog everywhere with us and know all the pet-friendly areas should your dog prefer spending most of their time outdoors.

I’m also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to make things as easy and convenient as possible for you. I have an elevator and potty area in my building so no need for stairs/going far! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. My dog is extremely friendly and would love to keep them company, but I’m also happy to give dogs their own space and alone time whenever they need it. I’m able to completely separate a dog if needed and care for them that way! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs, including medications, dietary restrictions, anxiety, or other special care. Dogs are welcome on the couch and in my bed, and since I work from home, they’ll get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I’m willing to send photo updates throughout the stay, usually one update every 4-5 hours, so you can feel at ease knowing everything is going okay!
“Samuel was awesome! Theo had a wonderful stay in a lovely neighborhood! Samuel was extremely responsive, sent updates and pictures, and was flexible for our drop off and pick up times. We couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies! Very thankful to find such an excellent and professional home to host our furriest family member.”
“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.”
“Peaches loves staying with Aisha. She takes such good care of my baby. Tail is always wagging and tongue hanging out when I go pick her up! Aisha is caring and I trust her very much with my dog! Thank you!!”
“Elena and her family did a super job in taking care of my buddy Levi. Always considerate, always caring and always professional. The communication was great. The experience will be repeated.”
“Beyond excellent. Cash loved his stay and Matt was fantastic about communicating with us and sending pictures. Cash will be staying with Matt again and again!!”
“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.”
“Haley took the best care of my baby. She gave constant updates and made sure she was happy and gave her so much love and care. Along with just taking amazing care of my pup, Haley is super kind and was quick to take care of her even though it was very last minute.”
“Shannon did an amazing job! She sent so many pictures and videos of my dog to keep me updated throughout the weekend. She even let my dog tag along to a doggy bday party on the beach, which made me so happy. Shannon was super communicative an flexible and my dog came home a happy girl”
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”
“IIiana was an amazing sitter. She always responded in a timely fashion. She also was very proactive with updates using photos and videos. I would highly recommend her and use her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets on and off for the past several years while they’re out of town and I currently have a cat of my own! I'm a student at the University with classes Monday-Friday but I have breaks throughout the day and I'm completely available at night on weekdays and all during the weekends. I would make sure any gates are locked if letting the pets outside and that they’re properly fed throughout the day with enough water as well.
“Very welcoming. Our Bear seemed relaxed and happy at drop-off/pick-up which let us know he was well treated and cared for. I really appreciate how accommodating Brian and his family are. We are definitely planning to make their home our regular boarding spot!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could, Katherine and her family were incredible! I feel like we booked our dog for a 5 star resort, she got lots of walks, lots of love and we were kept in the loop the whole time which let us enjoy our vacation even more knowing she was in excellent hands! Would highly highly recommend!”
“I am so grateful for Chavelly for taking care of my fur baby this past weekend. She sent pictures and videos daily to show me he was ok and happy. Thank you Chavelly! I will definitely keep you in mind for any future services I may need with Rover! :)”
“Grace was a wonderful sitter for our boy, Gumbo! She kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Gumbo clearly loved being around her and her family—he came home completely tuckered out and slept like he had clocked in for a full shift. We’re so grateful for how well she cared for him!”
“Our original sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. I contacted Stephanie less than 24 hrs in advance, and she was able to accommodate our stay. My dog Loki can be very timid at first in new environments, but with time was able to open up within Stephanie’s home. She makes sure to send daily photos, updates, and also will take your dog for daily walks. I felt extremely comfortable having Loki there, and would book again in the future!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, caring, and attentive with our pup. She gave us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving! Overall, an pawesome experience! 🐾❤️”
