“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.”

“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!”
“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.”

“Tucker had an amazing time while staying with Margarita and Carissa. We are pretty sure that he had as good vacation as we did. Their son was Tucker‘s best playmate. We would highly recommend Margarita and Clarissa for anyone in the area needing a safe and loving home for their pet. Thank you again for the love and care.❤️. Bonus, they have an amazing backyard!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Evgenia and her daughter were great sitters for my senior dog Mako. He has some medical needs and they handled everything perfectly. He looked so happy in all the pics they sent and I knew he was in great hands! Thank you.”
“10 out of 10 would recommend, my dog came back in the happiest of moods, she went on several walks and received a tons of love and watched movies - I received the cutest photo updates throughout my trip of Maisie and could not be happier! I’ve used a lot of Dog Sitter’s on Rover and I would rebook with Danni every time”
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!
“Jen and her family were absolutely wonderful with our doodle griffin! He received lots of love and was exhausted after his weekend of fun! We received plenty of updates as well. Will definitely be using Jen again in the future.”
“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!”
“Bre was absolutely incredible with our dog. She’s extremely communicative with multiple updates and pictures daily. Our’s and her dog, Marco, got along great and our dog can’t wait for us to leave town again.”
“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!”

“Ambria did a great job taking care of my kitties. She provided updates as well as sent pictures for each drop in visit. My kitties are shy but they did come out to say hello to Ambria. She made sure they had plenty of food and water, and their litter boxes were kept clean. I don’t like having to leave my kitties at home when I travel, but I could rest assured knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely consider Ambria for future cat care needs!”
“I was very happy with Naomi’s timeliness, consistent communicate, and obvious care for animals. She cared for my very senior kitty and was able to administer medications, take extra precautions, and be mindful of her quirks and disabilities. I looked forward to seeing all the photos she sent every day she cared for my kitty!”
“Valerie did amazing job taking care of my cats. She provided good amount of updates and took care of all the tasks I requested for. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her soon.”
“Kendra is amazing! We have 4 cats and she did a wonderful job caring for them while we were out of town for a week. We got dozens of photos daily and it was so nice to see that they were being cared for in real time. One of our cats requires daily medicine and she found the trick to getting them to take their pill - which has been a game changer for us! Going out of town is stressful, especially with pets that you have to leave behind. But now that we have Kendra, it’s one less thing to worry about. We will definitely be using Kendra again to care for our pets!”
“Matt took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a week! He sent tons of photos and provided tons of updates so I knew she was well taken care of. 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.”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my cat for two weeks. Twice daily I received check-in notifications and pictures of my pet during her visits. I will definitely use Jennifer again when I need a great sitter for my cat.”
“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!!”
“Loved having Aubery take care of my fur babies! She is very professional and takes such great pictures. I had an emergency with my dog sitter and she was able to take my pup for a much needed walk. I highly recommend her services. She's the best.”
“We love Shelby so much! From the pictures he takes of our cats to the messages he leaves about them on the report card, he always makes sure that we know our cats are being well taken care of (: Shelby always makes sure that the apartment is clean as well!! Thank you so much as always!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Matthew was great with our two dogs! He sent updates of his time with them and made sure they were loved and cared for. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a compassionate responsive dog sitter!! :)”
“She came and checked up on my 2 cats twice and was amazing!! The cats got into the pantry and spilled some stuff and she cleaned it and left the area spotless!! 100% would book again!!”
“Kiran goes above and beyond with both my cat and with my brother's dog who she watches! She has stepped in for me in urgent situations and is always so incredibly receptive and flexible! Cannot say enough great things! She loves all these animals she cares for!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
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!
“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: 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!
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. I only board one dog at a time (or two dogs from the same household), which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention. I work from home and am around most of the day, so dogs staying with me are rarely left alone. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, pay close attention to each dog’s needs, and always treat them with kindness and respect. I work primarily from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting on most weekdays and weekends. I always do my best to follow each pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs and dogs with health conditions that require extra attention and medication. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would want for my own.
“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.”
“So fortunate to have found Rachel. She has a cozy comfortable place for my two dogs. Her two cats and one dog are so sweet and friendly. I’d recommend her a hundred times.!”
“Grace was great and we had happy pups! We had a last minute booking as something came up & her communication was prompt from our 1st talk & throughout the day she cared for our dogs. Will be bringing my boys back!”
“Sam was an awesome host for our girl Gypsy! He had other dogs for her to run around and play with, toys and spoiled her with some treats! He was sending us pictures throughout the day as well! Will definitely use Sam again when we are in Tampa! Thanks so much!”
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: Hello! I have over 5 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering baths, and pet boarding. I am passionate about providing pets with attentive, reliable care and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I currently live in a gated community with a dog park available. I will/ can provide transportation if need be, and 24 hour service for your pet!

“Naomi was wonderful with my eight month old puppy and very patient with him. She was in contact with me kept me updated was very responsive. I knew my dog was well taken care of Was well taken care of and I really appreciate having her would recommend her 1000 times over!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with energetic puppies and taking sweet care of older pets. I’m dedicated to making sure each pet feels special and loved! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, even with my school schedule. I fit in walks and feeding before and after classes, and I make time for play and training in the evenings, I’m also free on the weekends and able to give pets extra attention and care. Balancing school and pet care requires planning, but it ensures that pets receive the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on making them feel comfortable and happy. I stick to their feeding schedules and provide regular exercise and playtime. I create a cozy environment with their favorite toys and bedding. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions and keep them updated, making sure their pets feel as at ease as they would with their owners.
“Matt took great care of my two doodles by visiting them daily while we were gone for extended periods. He came by to meet them prior to his engagement and it was obvious they both liked him immediately. He let us know when he visited and sent us clever photos so we could see they were happy. Highly recommend and will request his services again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets pretty much my entire life! 🐾 As a college student, I miss my pets at home so much, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I also trained my Rat Terrier at home, so I have experience with basic training and understand the patience and consistency that comes with working with young puppies. I’m currently growing my Rover account and would love the opportunity to meet some new furry friends! ❤️ Whether you need someone for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to message me with any questions, book with me, or share my profile with friends and family who may need a pet sitter! 🐶🐱 I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I’m home and available the rest of the week to give your dog plenty of attention, love, and care! 🐾 If you do need care on a Tuesday or Thursday, I also have two amazing roommates who absolutely love animals and would be happy to give your pup some extra attention while I’m in class. Your dog will never be left without someone around to care for them! ❤️ Our house is currently pet-free, so your dog will have our full attention without having to worry about other pets in the home! 🐶❤️ Our building is also pet-friendly and has a fenced-in dog park right on the property. There’s a nice sidewalk that goes all the way around the building, making it perfect for daily walks and getting some energy out! 🐾 It’s a safe, comfortable environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel right at home!
“Ava was fantastic with my dog! She was always on time, kept me updated throughout every visit, and it was clear she genuinely cared about him. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust completely. Houston loved her, and I’ll definitely be booking with Ava again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“One word ... Fantastic! You can tell Ambria has a true love for animals ... especially the fur babies. She took great care of my little guy and kept in contact providing pictures, assuring me that everything was going fine. If you want the top care and compassion for your pet, I recommend booking her. I definitely will, again and again.”
About: Longtime pet owner who loves animals and volunteers at the Humane Society. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving, dependable, and personalized care. I work full-time, so I have flexible availability in the early mornings, afternoons, and on weekends! Feel free to reach out anytime, and we can find a schedule that works for both of us. I pay close attention to your pet’s individual needs and care routine. Their safety, comfort, and well-being always come first, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away.
“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.”
“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”
“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: My husband and I had a German shepherd for 13 years that we recently said goodbye to and have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages for friends and family. Great with seniors and big dogs. My husband grew up with 5 dogs in his household of all different breeds. Can administer medication and help with training if needed! 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 live in a small pet friendly apartment in a walkable and pet friendly neighborhood. We have dog toys, enrichment toys, and dogs beds in the home but please bring your own if your pet prefers! We took our dog everywhere with us and know all the pet-friendly areas should your dog prefer spending most of their time outdoors.
“Small world!! we were both born up in New Jersey area. He’s a wonderful communicator. My dog immediately took to him. I’m so grateful I saw him on Rover.”
About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, and currently working for Woofies of South Tampa, a pet sitting/dog walking business! I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior pets and dogs that need daily medication. I also grew up surrounded by animals, including three family dogs and two cats. This hands on experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs! I want every pet parent to have complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is getting all of the love, exercise, attention, and care 😊 Having a flexible schedule allows me to make pet care my top priority. I customize each day to provide walks, meals, playtime, and loving care for every pet. I care for pets in their own home, maintaining their routine with feeding, walks, play, and affection to ensure comfort, security, and a stress free experience.
“Matthew has been so great and understanding, I appreciate his kindness and flexibility with my difficult schedule and Nico always looks so happy when he walks him!”
About: I have a cat of my own that is a rehabilitated stray. She’s got a few medical issues, but having her has taught me a lot about anxious/aggressive animal tendencies and the best way to care for them. My friends and family also have a lot of different pets so I’ve been exposed to many different animal personalities/breeds. I have a pet bearded dragon as well! So even reptile care is familiar to me. My schedule changes weekly; I’m currently working a waitress job. My shifts aren’t very long, about 6 hrs - so I will be available sporadically throughout the day and evening, depending on what times I work. I can provide services inside my own home, or care for pets in theirs! Whatever works best. However I do have a pet cat of my own and I’m located in an apartment complex - just a heads up! Just provide any routines/care guidelines they need and I’m good to go.
About: I’ve always been someone friends can count on when they need an extra hand with their pets, whether that’s going for walks, checking in, or keeping them company while they’re away. I have experience with dogs of different ages and energy levels, from walking and playing with puppies to looking after older dogs who need a little more patience and a slower pace. I grew up around both dogs and cats and am comfortable learning the routines and personalities that make each pet different. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting the chance to spend time with animals while giving their owners someone dependable and attentive they can trust. My schedule allows me to be flexible with afternoon (after 4pm) and evening walks, and I’m happy to accommodate both occasional help and regular weekly walks. I’ll keep my Rover availability up to date so you can easily see when I’m available! I’ll always follow the instructions you provide and take the time to get to know your dog. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home and belongings, and will make sure your dog is safely settled back in before I leave.
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.

“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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!
“Bre was absolutely incredible with our dog. She’s extremely communicative with multiple updates and pictures daily. Our’s and her dog, Marco, got along great and our dog can’t wait for us to leave town 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!!”
“Melinda and David were so understanding of our dog’s needs. He is very nervous around new people and just needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let him warm up. They immediately understood this and did everything we asked to make him and us feel comfortable.”
“Viviana was wonderful! Great communication and easy directions for drop off and pick up. Thank you Viviana! We will definitely be using your services again.”
“Cassandra was excellent with Pepper. Great communication with daily updates and photos. My old girl was not stressed at all while I was away. Would definitely recommend Cassandra and will be requesting her again!”
“Michael was great!!! Gave plenty of pics and updates while Miya was with him. Communication was on point. Highly would recommend Michael to watch your dog and will use him in the future as well.”
“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.”
“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”
About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I have a deep love and understanding of animals. My experience includes overnight pet care and providing regular walks, ensuring pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I'm committed to making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved, just like they would at home. I’m currently a student at the University of Tampa. I have plenty of free time to devote to caring for your pets as I only have classes two days of the week. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping them in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided to ensure consistency, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise routines, or administering medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and walks to keep them happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain a clean and safe space, respecting both the pet and the home. My goal is to provide care that helps pets feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Autumn was fantastic with Hadley. She kept me updated with how she was doing and it looked like my baby was having a good time playing with her dog. I will definitely call on Autumn again when the need arises.”
About: Love and grew up with dogs my entire life! Have had multiple different breeds. We raised multiple puppies starting from 8 weeks old so I know how to encourage dogs well. If I was any animal… I would be my dog😋 I am available for dog walking and drop ins every weekend and weekdays 5pm and on. I love to walk and would love your furry friend to join me!! There are multiple dog parks in my apartment complex and many save neighborhood streets around me to walk on. I love the surrounding homes and so will your furry friend!
“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.”
