“This was my first time using rover and let me tell you: I had a very positive experience 🫶 Both Josh and his wife watched Bruno for a week and treated Bruno like part of their family. Initially, I was worried about leaving Bruno with another family but on day one after getting updates and photos, I knew he was in the right hands. Bruno even seemed a little sad to be leaving his new friends 🥺 They communicated with me all week and most days I got photos and videos🤍 I truly appreciated them giving Bruno all the love and attention he normally receives at home with us. Bruno was even allowed to sleep with them and hang out on the couch! And I know he loved their backyard and their dog. Thank you thank you to them for keeping my Bruno safe and loved! 🤞🤍 Would book again and would recommend to anyone! 🫂”

“Naomi is a hard-working, communicative professional that I would absolutely recommend to any of my friends or family to care for their pets. I was badly injured at the start of the year and needed help cleaning my two guinea pigs' enclosure, a unique request for an app that centers around dogs and cats. She wasn't phased at all by shaking out their mats, sweeping, and starting laundry, and she often left the area far cleaner than I did when I was previously doing the work myself. She put a lot of care into looking after my animals and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. She was so wonderful, I asked her to continue coming twice a week even when I recovered from my injuries. I only wish I could bring her with me to the new city I'm moving to. Thank you Naomi!”
“Mariah is very dependable and her communication is excellent! We only needed our cats checked on, but she made sure to stay there the full 30 minutes, which is so appreciated! And we loved seeing the pictures of our kitty! Highly recommend!”
“Cary is the best! She is so attentive to Dot, and clearly has a deep love for all animals. She was very flexible with my changing plans, communication was quick and easy. Cant recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“Ambria did a great job taking care of our cat Blanca! Blanca needs some additional care that includes medications and Ambria kept us updated on her status and made sure she got the care she needs while we were away.”
About: I have had 3 cats throughout my life, both indoor and outdoor, and I do everything I can to make sure they are happy. I am no stranger to cleaning litter boxes and applying medications, and my close friends trust me to watch their cats when they are out of town. I treat every cat as if it were my own, so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
“Excellent communication, very punctual, and did extremely well with our dogs. Evgenia is very easy to work with, and works around what you need and did so on extremely short notice. She did a great job !”

I will definitely be booking again the next time I need a cat sitter. He definitely has a natural ability to care for animals and made me feel at ease leaving my cat for the first time.”
“Katie took wonderful care of our cat. She sent tons of photos so we could see how our cat was doing. Katie spent time to play with and love on our baby!!! She was amazing, we will definitely be using Katie again.”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, from shy rescues to playful kittens, I take the time to understand each cat’s personality and make them feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and keep things tidy (yes, that includes a spotless litter box!). I’m also experienced with feeding routines, giving oral medication, and keeping cats comfortable while their owners are away. You can count on me to treat your cat like my own.

About: I bring 18 years of hands-on experience caring for four family dogs, and I currently care for my own Yorkie, so I truly understand the attention, patience, and love pets need at every stage of life. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own—tuning into their routines, personalities, and little quirks to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home and already spend my day caring for my own dog. I’m able to give plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. Evenings are typically spent at home, and if I do step out, it’s only briefly for the gym or dinner. Your pet will have a calm, consistent environment with lots of attention, care, and supervision, just like they would if they were my own. I provide a safe, trusting, and welcoming environment for every pet. My home features a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and my small Yorkie is happy to offer companionship. Pets are free to roam the house and can relax on the furniture—but if you prefer boundaries, I’m happy to accommodate your rules so your furry friend feels comfortable and at home.
About: I have been a pet owner for 30 years and volunteered at pet care facilities, as well. I’ve pet sat for neighbors and friends giving special attention to their dogs and cats . I can accommodate an open schedule and all hours for care. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Can make multiple visits for same pet in a daily schedule as needed. I will make sure all pets are watered and fed given your instruction and any medications. Will play inside and walk outside for fresh air retreats and potty visits.
“Virginia is hands down the best dog sitter ever! My pup Kiwi absolutely adored her—he was more excited to see her in the morning than me in the afternoon! 🐶 She sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the day, which made me feel so at ease. Kiwi also became best friends with her sweet dog, Cozy, and it was the cutest thing watching them play together in the videos she sent. It was clear she treated Kiwi like her own, with so much love and care. I would 100% trust her again and will definitely be coming back to her. Highly recommend!😊”
About: Hi everyone! New to Rover after pet sitting from word of mouth and referrals back in North Carolina. I am flexible with pricing to start generating some bookings and reviews in FL! I have been pet sitting for over 10 years with all types of dogs. I have experience fostering dogs of all breeds and sizes, most which come from bad situations and need help with their confidence and training, so I am able to help potty train and work through other issues. I have one small dog, Nemo. Care would be private (only your dog and Nemo) safety is my first priority, and they will be watched at all times! My avalibility is set only for days that I will be able to be home 24/7. If other days are needed and your dog is good to be by themselves for any certain time, message me and I will be more available !! I work from home Monday and Friday and reserve my weekends for spending time with my pup. My dog Nemo has separation anxiety so I am normally home with him all day, or bring the dogs with me to a local restaurant or park to get outside and be active. This will be a private service, only Nemo and your dog. I am very attentive and will be able to send lots of pictures to you!
“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!”
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!

I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages, I provide personalized care that meets each pet's unique needs.

Whether working on training basics or simply providing adventure, I ensure every outing is both fun and fulfilling. For Cats: I create calm, nurturing environments where felines feel secure yet encouraged to explore. I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I am available on weekends and have flexibility with work since I work remotely for several days throughout the work week. Additionally, I am a morning person so I can take dogs for sunrise walks if needed. Your pet's safety and well-being are non-negotiable priorities in every aspect of care I provide. In Your Home: I maintain your pet's established routines, keep your home secure, and stay vigilant about potential hazards. I provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you're away. On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.
About: I have experience caring for both small and large dogs through caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends while they travel. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, providing companionship, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important trust and attention are when it comes to pet care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I dedicate my Fridays through Sundays fully to caring for pets and giving them the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need throughout the day.

“Shelby is amazing!! He’s great. I needed someone to walk my dog after surgery. Shelby was dependable, trustworthy, friendly, independent, and adaptable to our routine and household. Will definitely book again. Our household didn’t miss a beat thanks to his help.”
About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. You can count on me to walk, feed, and bathe your pets while keeping them safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of my family. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but have the flexibility to come and go throughout the day as needed. I’m fully available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or extended stays around my schedule! Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are in a secure environment with plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keeping routines consistent for feeding, walks, and playtime,and always give extra love and patience to help pets feel relaxed and safe while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for years. I have rescued 4, and I enjoy every breed. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years which allowed me to gain experience in administering medicine, and keeping animal spaces clean. I am currently a full time student athlete, so I am busy. However, that never stopped me from taking care of my animals at home. Going on walks and playing with animals is a genuine experience that relieves me of the stresses in college. My day does start relatively early; however, I have a lot of time in between classes and other activities. I plan to care for your pets depending on their needs and your home. If you have a yard that would be a great area for them to play outside; however if you do not, I am more than happy to take them on walks or to dog parks.
“I never really hire a dog walker because it’s good exercise for me to do it myself and I work from home. Unfortunately, I hurt myself recently and was unable to walk due to back issues. I reached out to Matt the morning after with only 45 minutes of notice and he came to walk Barkley. Not only that, but over the next few days as I was healing and still not able to walk, he came three times a day, always on time and walked Barkley. A true life saver!”
About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine and personality. I pride myself on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets feel genuinely cared for while owners enjoy peace of mind. From daily walks and overnight stays to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise, and companionship, I deliver a reliable, high-touch experience with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets. Pet care naturally fits into my routine through daily walks, exercise, structured schedules, and dedicated attention to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment with consistent routines, supervised care, regular exercise, affection, and personalized attention tailored to each pet’s needs.

“I highly recommend Turner as a dog walker! He was punctual, friendly, and polite. During the 30-minute walk, my dog got plenty of exercise and had a chance to potty. Whiskey came back happy and calm. I would definitely use Turner again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.”
“Benjamin is awesome! He is reliable, communicative, and, most importantly, great with animals! I know my dog Grizzly looks forward to hanging out with him everyday!”
About: I have extensive experience volunteering for the humane society and have managed all types of dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from their on-site behavioral specialist and feel comfortable with most dogs. Let’s schedule a meet and greet! Flexible! I’m available most days and keep my schedule updated. I can take care of your pets during the day, night, or weekend. Message me! Your pet has all of my attention! When I’m caring for your fur baby, I make myself available to take them out for frequent walks/potty breaks and make sure they have everything they need at all times.
“Elena made herself available on such short notice when I was not able to secure any walkers. Mira had such a great time with her and really appreciated her flexibility!”
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.

About: Hi! I'm Emory - I grew up with Golden Retrievers my entire life, and in my adult years I’ve rescued three mixed-breed dogs from the shelter ranging from staffy's, dachshunds, and chihuahua's. I live with my boyfriend Quinn who also grew up with dogs, and together we have rescued a dog of our own, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After our own dog passed away a couple of months ago, we decided to hold off on getting one of our own right away and to help take care of other dogs instead. We have pet-sit for our friends and family for years, and also used Rover as a customer for our previous dog so I understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pet and to provide lots of updates! During the week, I work a hybrid schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention and companionship. On my work from home days, I’m home all day for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Even on the days I go into the office, I’m only about 15 minutes away. I typically leave around 8am, come home during my lunch break from 12–1pm, and Quinn is home by 4pm, so dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. They’ll get a walk before work, another walk and playtime during lunch, and plenty of walks, love, and attention in the evenings! Our home is very dog-friendly! Dogs are welcome on the furniture, get plenty of affection, and are treated like part of the family while they’re with us. Because I have rescued dogs from the shelter, we also have experience working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so will do our best to make them feel safe and loved.
“Once again this was a great place to leave goose for the holiday weekend. With all the fireworks and stuff they kept the dog calm. Goose was very happy to return here.”
“We really appreciated Melinda and David caring for Seppalo. We felt comfortable leaving him with them and were able to thoroughly enjoy our time away. He seemed very happy in the pics they sent.”
“Vadim is super accommodating and very nice! He sent many cute pictures and videos while we were traveling. He spent quality time with my puppy and made sure he had fun while staying at a different place. I highly recommend booking with Vadim.”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs up to 65 pounds and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I grew up with Boxers my whole life so dogs with crazy and loving energy is where I thrive but also love and enjoy our calm pups too! I provide plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, and interactive activities to keep dogs happy and engaged. I also enjoy giving them lots of attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel right at home. Your dog's routine is important to me, so I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water available, and receive frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or just have a companion nearby, I will provide attentive, reliable care and treat them like part of my family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away! I am currently working full-time during the week but get home at about 4:30p every day. I work from home every Friday and I am home most weekends so weekend sitting is where I will be most available! My schedule is flexible though so for longer needs, I can work around it with enough notice given. I have a fenced in yard and my sister who lives with me who also loves dogs very much. When in my home, I want the dogs I am watching to feel comfortable and wherever I am, they are welcome! I have a very open layout on the first floor with easy access to the back yard. The upstairs is very open as well with big windows and 3 bedrooms. As for caring in clients homes, I am very respectful and want the dogs to feel safe in their space with me there. I offer to wash them if needed, walk them, feed them, and take them to the dog park as well if allowed!
“Amazing!! Madisyn was amazing. Pictures everyday. Updates throughout the day. My dogs had an amazing time with her and all the other pups she was watching. That’s their favorite part. Having lots of other dogs to play with. Would recommend her 100%!!”
“Naomi was wonderful with our rescue dog and was responsive throughout our week-long trip, sending us picture updates every day. Would definitely leave our pup with Naomi 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.”
