When I came back, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!"”
“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Catherine far exceeded my expectations! She agreed to a meet and greet with my pup and me before boarding started, and I could immediately feel her warmth (and my pup felt comfortable too). Catherine kept me updated, sending me pictures daily. She was so kind and took such good care of my girl. I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”

She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Luna wasn’t just being watched…she was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your dog like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Luna!”

“My cat Elliot stayed with Valeriia for 9 nights and had the best time! She is so caring for your pet and always kept me updated with pictures and videos of Elliot.

About: I recently lost my soul dog of 16 years and would love to care for yours. I had Sadie from birth, and well versed with puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors. Comfortable administering medications and implementing any training or routines your dog needs. I work remote with a flexible schedule, and am typically home most days and evenings to spend with your pup and stick to their routine. I have a nice size fenced in yard, plus live close to Bayshore for long walks. If your dog is comfortable, I would enjoy taking them to the dog beach.
“Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“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.”

About: I’ve been a cat owner for my entire life and currently have three cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’ve also cat-sat for neighbors and have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering lots of playtime and attention, and making sure your cat stays happy and comfortable while you’re away. I know that every cat is different, so I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own and keep you updated along the way for your peace of mind.

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!

“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!”
“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”
“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!”
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.
About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a senior at George Mason University and have full availability! If I don't send pictures over the Rover app, I send them directly over text:) I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.

“Evgenia was able to watch Shadow on very short notice, and I really appreciate it. She is nice, communicates well, and most importantly, she took great care of my baby. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I 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!
About: Dogs are quiet literally my favorite thing in the world. I have two of my own, Stella (a 9 year old chihuahua mix) and Daisy (a 3 year old pug). I am a dedicated, diligent, and extremely loving dog owner, and I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. Stella has health issues, so I am very comfortable caring for any pet's unique needs and administering medication. Stella is also leash reactive (classic little dog syndrome), so I am comfortable managing all different types of doggie personalities. Back in college, I actually also used to walk dogs and board them in my home as well. My house is extremely clean and pet safe, and you can be assured I will take nothing short of excellent care of your fur babies. I I recently graduated from the Anesthesia Assistant program in Nova Southeastern University, and will begin working at local hospital in November, as the credentialing and state licensing process takes a few months. In the meantime, my schedule is completely open! I live in a large, 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, that I keep spotless and safe for the pups. My dogs are allowed on the couch and on the beds (and I even have staircases for them in each bedroom since mine are small girls!). I also have multiple dog beds / huts, so you can assure your doggie will be comfortable with me.
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: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing extra care when needed. Having cared for my own dog for many years, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving individual attention while you are away. I am patient, observant, and committed to treating every pet 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.
“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!”
“Danielle was incredible! I am always nervous to leave our dogs somewhere new, but Danielle truly went above and beyond. We got so many pictures and updates throughout their daycare. She was so incredibly sweet and communicative. We found our new favorite Tampa sitter!”
“Rachel was great with Honey! She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and Honey looked happy as a clam in every photo. Rachel also was willing to work with my schedule, was kind, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her! 💛”
“Tessa is amazing! She took care of Alf and Chimi and kept us posted of their activities and how they were doing. She was super nice to us and I really appreciate her willingness to help us. I definitely recommend you all to trust her your little babies.”
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Jeni grew up with German Shepherds and has always had a dog in the home. She began pet sitting as a service for friends and family 15 years ago. Marc also grew up with family dogs and, for the past 13 years, he’s loved on his own high-energy pup, Cooper. Now as a married couple we have a “blended family” with our senior dog Cooper and our adult dog Leila as our loyal companions. Because we both work from home with flexible schedules, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We love animals of all sizes and personalities and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether you need us to watch your dog in our home, drop in for visits, or take them on a walk, your furbaby will be in great hands! For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. Since we both work from home, we’re able to let our own dogs outside whenever they want to go - yours will be treated just like our own! Our goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. We’re always happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into our flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing frequent walks, playtime, feeding, and attentive supervision throughout the day. Our flexible schedule also gives us the chance to take the dogs on a walk through the day. 🐾 We have two dogs and a securely fenced in yard where they play outside many times a day. For stays in our home, dogs can be let outside as often as they want to go outside. For drop in visits, we follow your instructions and requests.

I have a comfy sized apartment and a really great park one street over which has a great walking path! along with transportation if i need to meet you!
About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Alex is so easy to work with! I originally connected with Alex in hopes that I could find an occasional weekend sitter but he takes such good care of Shadow that I am using him even on my week days while I go into the office or have errands. I highly recommend.”

“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter that was always extremely reliable and fast to respond. We regularly used her for walks and dog sitting for our older dog.

“Anthony has been a godsend with my sweet boy, Finn. He’s always happy to see him and cries when he leaves because he wants more of his time!

“One word ... Fantastic! You can tell Ambria has a true love for animals ... especially the fur babies.

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.

“If I could give more stars I would. Piercen came to walk my baby girl at a very short notice and I appreciate him so much for that. He kept me up to date on everything. He’s great!!”
About: We've never met pets we didn't love! Taking care of animals is our self care. My Mom and I have had pets since I was little. One of us is always home to administer care for our fur babies and friends. We have 2 little terriers at home who thrive off dog treats and long days at dog beach. We love the dog park and to go on walks all day everyday. My Mom, Nikki and I are the primary care takers and almost always one of us is home with the pups. We promise to ensure your fur babies are loved, fed. We'll do our best to accommodate needs to ensure the best possible home environment for your pup. For Housesitting bookings: we are happy to send pics and videos of your pups while you are away! Given our reasonable rates and business demands, we will not sit at your home 24/7. If you need around the clock care, you will be best suited to book elsewhere. Our first priority is the care of your fur babies and to keep their schedule as close to consistent and what they are used to as possible. If you do not have sleeping space for us as a guest, ie a bed, we will ask you choose a boarding booking instead of housesitting. The couch or air mattress is not considered a bed, especially for long term stays longer than a few days.
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: I recently lost my soul dog of 16 years and would love to care for yours. I had Sadie from birth, and well versed with puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors.

“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!”
“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“Highly recommend! My pup had been attacked unprovoked in the past and Grant was so patient & kind with Shay and my own anxieties. His pup Koda is so sweet and they were best friends! 100% will use Grant again.”
“We first did a meet and greet with Rachel and her dog, Zeplin. The dogs were just fine together. I would definitley board again with Rachel. She was communicative and sent pictures of my dog doing just fine every day. She even worked with me on my pick up schedule since my flight was late getting back into town. Very nice!!”
“Silvana and her family were fabulous when watching our 2 pups! She even celebrated Bowies birthday with a homemade dog safe mini cake. Highly recommended!”
“Brian was awesome with our Dog. He consistently provided us with feedback and updates of our pet’s stay and always provided us with pictures and videos. He made our pet feel safe and at home and us feel at ease that our dog was in great care! We needed another day for our dog to stay and he was very accommodating and open to helping us the best he could. We definitely will be booking with him again for all of our boarding needs!! Book with Brian, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Bella was so great with my pup Gino. She sent so many photos and updates while I was away and he came back to me happy and healthy. I will definitely be a return customer and can confidently recommend her to others!”
“Chante was great with my dog. She was very attentive and communicative. My dog was very well taken care of and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Grace was awesome - she took amazing care of my dog and was in great communication with me the entire time. I felt at ease and she was very flexible with me as my plans were changing for drop off and pickup. Her family took awesome care of my dog - would book in the future!”
“Stanley and Brinn enjoyed their evening at Ada’s apartment while we went to a concert. She sent sweet pics and we felt very comfortable knowing our pups were being well cared for. Would definitely rebook with Ada when I am back in Tampa”
“She took great care of Ollie while we were gone. She was flexible and understanding when we needed to leave for our trip early and sent pictures every day. I think Ollie had a great time with her and her pup :)”
“Elena and family did a great job looking after my 2 dogs! We got updates everyday and got more when we asked for them! Drop off and pick up was easy and they got a lot of walks and love during their stay! Thanks again”
