“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“"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!"”
“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.”
“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“Cece and her husband provide comfort in knowing your pet will be well taken care of and treated like family while you are away. They are awesome and provide many pictures, videos, and updates. Thank you for taking such good care of Benito!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!”
“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! 🤍”
“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!”
“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.”
“Elena and family did a great job looking after my 2 dogs! We got updates everyday and got more when we asked for them! Drop off and pick up was easy and they got a lot of walks and love during their stay! Thanks again”
“Stanley and Brinn enjoyed their evening at Ada’s apartment while we went to a concert. She sent sweet pics and we felt very comfortable knowing our pups were being well cared for. Would definitely rebook with Ada when I am back in Tampa”
“Brian was awesome with our Dog. He consistently provided us with feedback and updates of our pet’s stay and always provided us with pictures and videos. He made our pet feel safe and at home and us feel at ease that our dog was in great care! We needed another day for our dog to stay and he was very accommodating and open to helping us the best he could. We definitely will be booking with him again for all of our boarding needs!! Book with Brian, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Lynne and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog while we were out of town for an extended weekend. Got daily updates and they looked after him as if he was their own. Our dog was sad to leave them.”
“Evgenia and her daughter were wonderful with my dog Jackson! He is a senior and has to take daily pills and they kept me updated throughout my trip that he was taking them and sent pictures of him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter that will treat your dog as their own.”

Currently I live with my cat Nugget who I handle all daily care for!
“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! 🐈⬛🤍”

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.
“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with cats my entire life and have experience with all kinds of personalities. I currently have two cats of my own—a sweet, cuddly cat and a very sassy one—so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and boundaries. My first job actually started when I was 11, when I began cat sitting for my aunt while she traveled for work. I understand how important it is to follow your cat’s routine and your specific instructions. Whether your cat is shy, playful, independent, or needs a little extra patience, medications specific diet. I’ll always respect their boundaries and do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is being well cared for.
“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.”
About: I got cats when i moved out and I at one point had 4. I’m very used to dealing with multiple litter boxes, dealing with cats that have different diets/eating habits, and handling very different personalities in them from crazy zoomies to ready for a nap
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was nine years old. Family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, a golden retriever and a cava poo. I’m currently a college student so I will have plenty of time to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available almost every day. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and house rules provided to ensure your dog feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a senior at George Mason University and have full availability! If I don't send pictures over the Rover app, I send them directly over text:) I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.
“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!!”

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.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
About: Dogs are quiet literally my favorite thing in the world. I have two of my own, Stella (a 9 year old chihuahua mix) and Daisy (a 3 year old pug). I am a dedicated, diligent, and extremely loving dog owner, and I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. Stella has health issues, so I am very comfortable caring for any pet's unique needs and administering medication. Stella is also leash reactive (classic little dog syndrome), so I am comfortable managing all different types of doggie personalities. Back in college, I actually also used to walk dogs and board them in my home as well. My house is extremely clean and pet safe, and you can be assured I will take nothing short of excellent care of your fur babies. I I recently graduated from the Anesthesia Assistant program in Nova Southeastern University, and will begin working at local hospital in November, as the credentialing and state licensing process takes a few months. In the meantime, my schedule is completely open! I live in a large, 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, that I keep spotless and safe for the pups. My dogs are allowed on the couch and on the beds (and I even have staircases for them in each bedroom since mine are small girls!). I also have multiple dog beds / huts, so you can assure your doggie will be comfortable with me.
“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 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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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: Hi I’m Zoë! I work from home full time, so your pup will get consistent attention and company throughout the day, including frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I have a Golden Retriever named Goose who is almost 2 years old, and basically incapable of meeting a person or animal he doesn’t immediately love. I know firsthand how much our pets become part of the family. I understand what it’s like to treat your fur baby like your own child and want them to receive the same love, attention, and care you would give them yourself. 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. I also have a fully fenced in backyard, so they can get plenty of off leash time too. I work remotely full time, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available any day of the week and flexible with scheduling. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while I’m with them. I’m happy to accommodate special requests and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and a sweet, playful Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. I work from home and am home most of the day, so your pup will get lots of attention and won’t be left alone for long. My goal is to make sure your baby feels comfortable, happy, cared for, and loved while they’re with me!

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. Choose Sully & I Pet Care* for the trusted love and care that you know your dog deserves. *Sully from “Sully & I” has crossed the rainbow bridge I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. 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.

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!

“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.”

When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize any stress or anxiety they may experience from being away from their owner. Above all, I treat every dog in my care with the love and attention I would give to my own pets, so you can rest assured that your furry friend is in good hands!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in high-school. Have worked with pet care apps before. Family currently has three German Shepards that we train. Currently reside in downtown Tampa and looking to care for dogs of all kind during the day as I look for my next career opportunity. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park right across the street. I dont have a dog of my own yet, but have experience with German Shepards and taking care of friend's dogs

“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.”
“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“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!”
“Elena and family did a great job looking after my 2 dogs! We got updates everyday and got more when we asked for them! Drop off and pick up was easy and they got a lot of walks and love during their stay! Thanks again”
“Stanley and Brinn enjoyed their evening at Ada’s apartment while we went to a concert. She sent sweet pics and we felt very comfortable knowing our pups were being well cared for. Would definitely rebook with Ada when I am back in Tampa”
“Brian was awesome with our Dog. He consistently provided us with feedback and updates of our pet’s stay and always provided us with pictures and videos. He made our pet feel safe and at home and us feel at ease that our dog was in great care! We needed another day for our dog to stay and he was very accommodating and open to helping us the best he could. We definitely will be booking with him again for all of our boarding needs!! Book with Brian, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Lynne and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog while we were out of town for an extended weekend. Got daily updates and they looked after him as if he was their own. Our dog was sad to leave them.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She provided frequent updates and made sure Ghost was well taken care of. He had such a great time and even made a new best friend with Rory! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Sharii B. is the BEST dog sitter ever. Our fur baby Tiffany loves ❤️ going to her home and spending time with her. She loves hanging out in the yard and soaking up the sun and in the evening, the cuddles 🥰”
“10/10 recommend ! Took care of my best friend like her own. Sent me so many daily pictures and updates while I was away missing my girl. Couldn’t be happier :)”
About: I recently lost my soul dog of 16 years and would love to care for yours. I had Sadie from birth, and well versed with puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors. Comfortable administering medications and implementing any training or routines your dog needs. I work remote with a flexible schedule, and am typically home most days and evenings to spend with your pup and stick to their routine. I have a nice size fenced in yard, plus live close to Bayshore for long walks. If your dog is comfortable, I would enjoy taking them to the dog beach.
“Christian was amazing from beginning to the end! I was very nervous finding someone to stay with our German Shepherd but Christian was very experienced and amazing! Enzo loved him and we look forward to booking him in the future!”
“Celine and her fiancé were absolutely amazing. Above and beyond. Felt so comfortable leaving my small kitten and puppy in her/their care. 10/10 would recommend. She’s soooo sweet, attentive, caring and communicative. Cannot leave a glowing enough review. Thank you so much!!!”
