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.”
“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.

I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”

Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“WOW! I cannot stress enough how happy we are that we found Cece. She was so sweet and kind and super communicative during Cash’s stay. Her two pups got along great with Cash, and he clearly had a blast during his stay with her. She was also very through when we arrived since it was his first stay with her and showed me the beautiful back yard Cash would have to play in during his stay and made sure he was secure and I was comfortable with him being in her home. It was such a great experience, I seriously cannot recommend Cece enough. Cash even came home with a personalized stocking, which he loved! You can tell she truly loves taking care of her clients pups!!”

“Danni & Todd took such great care of my Stan man. Cannot thank them enough for the extra care and attention they gave him, like making him eggs when he wouldn't eat his food and recognizing symptoms that prompted administering his allergy medicine. I would definitely board with them again. Thanks again Danni, Todd, kiddos, & Pepper!”

“Valerie cared for our pets Ruby, Zeus,Zoya and Sunny- a dog and 3 cats. We also have an aquarium. She also fed our fish. Our senior dog Ruby had several indoor poop and pee accidents indoor in between visits much more than usual. Valerie cleaned up each time she came for drop-in visits. Ruby is usually very anxious when we return from trips but this time she didn’t seem anxious at all. Will recommend Valerie.”
“Aubrey was fantastic, she's a great communicator and so clearly loves animals! My kitties warmed up to her quickly and were very calm and happy when I returned home. Will definitely rebook!”

“Nicolette is always reliable and takes good care of my cats, I know that when I am not there and she is scheduled to come out I can relax and feel confident everything will be okay!”
“Kendra was great with watching my cat Cricket and giving him medicine while we were out of town, she was super detailed with questions about caring for him and with her reports every day. Cricket can be shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Kendra was kind, understanding, and super patient!”
“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.”
“I’ve booked Rachel to watch my cats multiple times and she’s always been great! She leaves updates for every visit and when my cat needed to take oral medication, she was able to administer it without issue. Would highly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Aliyah was so kind and attentive to my cats while i was out of the country for nearly 2 weeks. My cats are both seniors, one with slight medical issues and she made sure to give him extra special care which I appreciated so much. She provided great details and pictures on every visit and followed the care instructions perfectly. She even helped with my isopods/bugs care which she was not obligated to do but she was more than willing to help with. I will definitely use her again in the future and would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”
“Sophia is amazing with my cat Phoebe! She is quick to respond, send lots of pictures & gives very thorough updates. I feel so confident Pheobe will be loved on while i’m away!! I even needed her to add an extra visit at last minute & she had no issues going above and beyond. She’s the best!!”
“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!”
“Sophia was awesome! You can tell she truly cares about animals so I never worried for a second. Great communication, took care of everything that was asked and and went above and beyond!”
“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!”
“Virginia was absolutely wonderful with our cats Orange and Saja! She followed all the instructions carefully, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

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.
“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!”
“Natali & KJ were AWESOME! This was my first time using a service like this for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier. My dog is reactive and requires a special touch, which he received, better than I could have expected. The updates and pictures throughout the day plus “report card” after were so appreciated. I will absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
“Evgenia was a great sitter! She played with my puppy outside a lot and took him on a couple of walks. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures!”
“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!”
“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.!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
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: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for 3+ years, providing loving, reliable care for every pet 🤍🐾Most pets consider me as more than their friend they get so excited when they see me! I treat them as my own child.they love to stay at my home I work remote but I incorporate pet care into my daily routine by setting dedicated time for each visit, making sure every pet gets proper attention, feeding, and playtime throughout the day.

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!
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.
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.
“Brian was always on time and communicative! Our dog started showing signs of a stomach ache (which is not abnormal for her) but he let us know right away and kept us updated each time he saw her.”
“Shelby was awesome. He took such great care of my chihuahua while I was away, even though my pup can be… A LOT. He kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and updates, which made being away so much easier. You can tell he really cares and knows what he’s doing. Super reliable, super kind, and honestly just great to work with. Highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and phenomenal with pets. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
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 currently have 2 large rescue dogs and am an active volunteer at the humane society. I also grew up with cats and dogs. I am able to care for all animals. I am able to do walks, playtime, feedings, giving medication whatever is needed! I work in hospitality so I have a flexible schedule I am always free mornings and midday, and can let animals out late at night when needed. I currently live in an apartment with 2 dogs so only available for drop in visits. I cannot care for animals at my own place.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. Many people I know, don’t fail to notice how caring, gentle, and playful I am with not only pets but with everyone else as-well. I have experienced dogs who are old, anxious, energetic, weak, shy, lovey, and everything in between. Since I was two, I would take care of my childhood dog as if he were my own baby. I’m currently attending college classes and as of right now have extra time to make money and try new things! I am available everyday except Tuesdays or Thursdays! I live in a gated apartment, that has a walking trail within. There is lots of greenery and sometimes other dogs around. I also live 8 minutes away from a dog park where I spend lots of my time walking or running. As far as being in your home, I will abide by the rules and follow what I am being told, in terms for what is best for the dog and everyone else. I will also make the experience fun and your pet will be in great hands.
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life! I have taken care of and loved very old and very young animals. I am responsible, attentive, and patient. I am a hard working college student who has lots of availability and will always make sure your pets are fed, relieved, and loved. It is extremely important to me to keep your pets, myself, and your home safe. I am in college until 12:30pm Monday-Thursday, and I usually work evenings on the weekends. I am able to accept last minute booking requests most of the time! Safety is very important to me, please make me aware of any medications or health precautions. I want to be informed of any extra steps I should take to keep myself, your home, and your pet safe!

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!
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! We had to extend our time with her unexpectedly, and she accommodated us willingly—even on short notice. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and we’re so grateful for her support.”
“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.”
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!
“Don’t hesitate to trust your dog with Nikki! She’s was super thoughtful, attentive, and loving with my gal… and wonderful at communicating with me too, sending pictures and updates every day. She also asked great questions to make sure my dog had the best experience possible. I’ll be excited to book with her again!”
