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! 🫂”

About: I have had a dog in the household all my life and enjoy spending my time with pets. This past year and a half I have been working with Guide Dogs of America to raise a future service animal. I walked dogs in my neighborhood in Tampa and enjoyed every minute of it. I am currently a student at UCF studying biology on the pre-med track. I only have 2 classes a day which leaves lots of time for me to walk your dog! I am available most weekends as well. I have worked with animals my whole life and have their best interest at heart. I love all animals and ensure that I am making the best, most comfortable, environment for every animal I meet.
“Meg watched our cat Winnie while we were out of town and did a marvelous job! Winnie loved Meg and was very energetic and social when Meg came to visit! Meg was awesome to communicate with as well and helped given Winnie the interaction she needed while my wife and I were gone out of town!”
“We are beyond thrilled with the kind, attentive care Susy gave to Mina over this weekend. She sent us thorough updates and tons of pictures of a very happy cat, which really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. I would 100 percent go to her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs (all rescues so I’ve had experience with all sorts of behavior) since I was born. I love all pets, and am incredibly patient. Your pet is your baby, and no one gets that more than me! I’m very available for pet care! I am staying at home this summer and have a pretty free schedule that is edible to your needs! I prefer keeping your pet in your own home, where they are most comfortable. Playtime, multiple walks a day, feeding schedules, etc. are very important!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.

“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!”
“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: I grew up with dogs and I always love helping out my friends and family when they need pet sitters or walkers. I helped my parents' dog recover and rehabilitate from an ACL reconstruction surgery. I am a medical professional who is experienced in emergency situations. I am in an apartment near the Manatee River with my girlfriend and puppy, Flynne. Flynne loves making friends with new dogs and puppies. I work during the morning into the afternoons as of now. I'm pretty free most days after 1pm but would try to make things as convenient as possible for you and your pup. Near my apartment complex is a beautiful trail along the Manatee River. I have a lot of space to walk away from traffic and avoid the busy streets.
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.
“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”

I engage in playtime and provide companionship and administer any required medications as well as keeping the living space clean and tidy.

“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 grew up with 3 dachshunds, with the oldest living up to 17 years old. I know hot properly care for their back issues. My experience caring for my dogs has taught me to be able to care for any breed. All my dogs lived to be senior ages. With their old age, I also learned how to care for dogs with health issues such as, blindness, deafness, allergies, etc. I love all animals and I’m excited to start meeting clients in the center city area :) for right now, I’m working from home mostly so I’m pretty flexible all week. Able to step away throughout the day for walks and other care. Love to give pets as much attention throughout the day as I can. Love to have them chill on the couch next to me as I am working. I have room for a crate if available.
“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!”
“Thais and Kevin were amazing with our pup! We received lots of photos and their dogs are both so friendly with new dogs and people. We felt very comfortable leaving Scout in their care.”
“Honestly, the most amazing pet sitters ever! I’ve used them many times now, and every single experience has been incredible. They always go above and beyond, even accepting my last-minute booking requests whenever they can. They send frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. He absolutely loves staying with them, and I never have to worry while I’m away. It’s such a relief to have people I completely trust to care for my dog. I couldn’t recommend them more, and they’ll always be my first choice for pet sitting!”
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!

“Nicole was amazing! She stepped in last minute to walk our golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and made the whole process completely stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Jackson and Parker came back happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker!”
About: I did pet sitting and walking for many years in NC and I can’t wait to get back to it in Tampa. I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. Right now, I have Penny Pooperson, a rescue dog. I love animals of all kinds. I did rescue work for many years as well. I’m currently working from home part time in Channelside, so I have plenty of time to walk and check in on your pets during the day. I ensure pets feel comfortable and they have plenty of fresh water and food. You can expect updates and pics from me on each visit for your peace of mind.
“Carly was wonderful! Quick to communicate and flexible with my changing schedule :) and my pups loved her too! She was flexible to come over before to meet them and ensure I was comfortable as well. Thank you Carly!”
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.

“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He always makes sure she has everything she needs and gives her all the love, pets, and walks when I’m unable to do so during the work day. I would definitely recommend Tyler if you’re looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and dog-loving person to walk your pup. I will continue to book Tyler for as long as he’s willing and able! 😊🐾”
“Jolie was FABULOUS! I was super nervous leaving my sweet Daisy when going on a week trip, but Jolie made the trip stress free and easy for this anxious dog mama.

Daisy and I will definitely be using her services again and we would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you so much 🩷”

It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”
“If I could afford to I would hire her services daily! She is such a joy to have around my fur babies. My 11 month old is nervous and can nip at strangers and she got him to love her right away. She understands how dogs think and act and she was excellent. He had recently suffered heat exhaustion on a run my husband took him on and needed tender care as I had a pre planned trip to go on. She took excellent care of him and his companion who is a 1 y/o rescue with a ton of energy. I look forward now to many trips knowing I have someone who I can trust with my babies”

About: Hello! I am a responsible, energetic, and flexible young professional who loves meeting and caring for new dogs! After moving to Tampa from up north in Maryland, I was so sad to have to leave my labradoodle, Buster, at home. I have missed caring for a dog of my own, so what better remedy than taking care of new pups from around my neighborhood! I have several years of pet care experience, from the puppy stage all the way to adult. I love taking walks on Bayshore, and am close to several outdoor parks! I am available every day in the afternoon/evening, and generally in the early mornings. I can't wait to give your dog the best overnight experience possible, including walks in the fresh air, playtime, belly rubs, snuggles, and so much love!!!
