“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“Maxine was amazing. She kept me informed on how my pup was doing the entire stay and took him on tons of adventures. She truly loved on my pup and he came home very happy and rested. Will definitely book again :)”
“Lynne & Luis were amazing sitters for my dog and made sure that she was comfortable throughout the entire stay. They sent daily updates and pictures. It was clear that my dog had a great time with them. Highly recommend!”
“I am beyond thankful for the care that they gave Kali. Awesome family, great environment, very loving!! I was worried Kali didn’t want to leave she felt right at home form the moment I brought her over. I will 100% come back in the future!”
“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.”
“Marisa and Robert are the best sitters. They are extremely caring and provided excellent care for our dog Coco. They provided many photos and kept us informed throughout our trip. We have used Marisa and Robert a few times and Coco recognized them and was excited to stay with them when we dropped him. We will continue to use their services.”
“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”
“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!”
“Catherine was great! She kept us updated with cute pictures and gave chai all the love when we were gone. Would recommend and definitely will be using her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Knowledgeable and kind to my kitties. They seemed to really warm up to you! He even brought our packages in for us!! It was our first time ever using rover so we were nervous. But we were put at ease because he was just so chill!”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who grew up with family cats and has years of experience caring for them. While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love getting the opportunity to care for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and giving cats plenty of attention while also respecting their space and individual personalities. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat your cat with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. Whether your cat is super social and cuddly or a little shy and needs time to warm up, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! 🐱💕
“Ali was wonderful with my two boys! She really helped make them comfortable, provided us with lots of pictures every day and was genuinely helpful while we were away for a long time. The boys got to know her well and enjoyed every time she visited. Ali was very responsive and asked lots of great clarifying questions. Thank you for everything Ali. Calvin & Hobbes can’t wait to see you next time!”
“Samantha took great care of Sheba. Was on time and provided details of what was going on. She was even able to extend the time I needed her on a last minute notice. I will definitely use her to take care of Sheba and would highly recommend her to others”

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing calm, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I treat each pet as if they were my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent, which helps reduce stress while their owner is away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including puppies that need extra attention and senior pets that may require a slower pace or special care. I also make sure to follow all instructions carefully and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured at all times. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I also keep their space clean and follow each pet’s specific schedule and needs. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive attention and play. In my home or the client’s home, I keep everything clean, safe, and comfortable. I always supervise pets, respect the client’s instructions, and send updates with photos so the owner feels confident their pet is well cared for.
“Dawn was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I was visit from out of town for a medical conference. I couldn’t bring my dog to the conference. Laura was so understanding and kind. She understood I was not going to be a repeat customer. However she stepped up to help me and watch Peaches. She gave her medicine too.”
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.
About: I have grown up surrounded by many dogs in my life, and treat them like family. I have volunteered at the Tampa Bay humane society and am a regular volunteer with the Mid Florida Golden Retriever Rescue. I am a dog lover and will treat your dogs with the kindness they deserve. I have five golden retrievers and a miniature dachshund between my family and I here in the Tampa area so it’s safe to say I love being around dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of every age, we have reached seniors before and it’s something my family and I are very passionate about. I moved back to the Tampa area during Covid from NYC and I am excited to be back in the city I’ve always called home. I can’t wait to meet all the wonderful pets Tampa has to offer! I promise to treat your pups with the utmost respect and have a blast with each and every dog I meet! Dogs deserve the world and I can't wait to share my love with them on countless walks and play dates! I work from home 3 days a week and am available on most weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and think they deserve to go for long walks and explore outside just as much as us humans! When I work from home I am fully able to hang out with your furry loved ones! My weekends are always flexible for requests as well. I care for pets as if they are my own, whether they are in my home or I am in a clients home. It is very hard to leave your pets home alone or with a stranger, because they are our family members. I truly understand this and guarantee your pets will be in wonderful hands with me. They will be my family when they are in my care.
“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!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and a variety of breeds including Border Collies, Black Labs, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and smaller high-energy dogs. I’ve also fostered dogs, which helped me become patient, attentive, and adaptable to different personalities and needs. I truly bond well with animals and treat every pet like family, giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible! I work part-time on my own schedule, attend classes, and an internship, but I’m free Monday/Tuesday/Thursday evenings. Thursday mornings, and all day Fri-Sun.

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.

“I highly recommend Valerie, she was so wonderful to work with!! She was always on time for walks, and she sent lots of pictures and detailed updates during each visit!

I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: Growing up, I’ve always been and loved being around dogs, whether they were my neighbors, friends, or my own! I have years of experience taking care of pups of all sizes, and i’m a proud chocolate lab/pitbull mix owner! Before graduating college, I used to volunteer at the humane society every month, which is where I adopted my own, Cooper! I am currently working part-time, and available during the week, but can still pup sit on the weekends if necessary! My schedule is very flexible!! I love long dog walks to stay active, and I do have a lab that loves other dogs, but prefer to pup sit at the clients’ houses
“Nena was one happy pup when I came home from my trip! Lucas was very accommodating, easy to work with, had great communication throughout my trip. Every picture I got from him showed Nena smiling ear to ear! 😁”
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 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.

I prioritize punctuality, compassion and the best patient/client comfort which truly makes me a wonderful pet parent and sitter.

About: Hello! I am a dog mom of 2 ( pitty and mixed hound). Over the years I have personally cared for turtles, birds, dogs and geckos. I truly believe pets are our best friend and apart of the family and for over 15 years i have dedicated myself to ensuring they get the love they give to us. From dogs and felines to amphibians and our friends that fly, I have had the privilege of being entrusted with their care. Whether big or small I'm here for it all. I am currently working full time however I do work from home and can work from anywhere making my hours very flexible. I am also available during the weekends. I will have direct supervision of your pets at all times especially during walks and let outs. My goal is make sure our friends are as comfortable as they can be while you are away. So leave their favorite toys and treats and I'll bring the snuggles!
About: 🐾 Meet & greets with new pets 🐾 Photo & video updates while you’re away 🐾 Lots of walks, playtime & cuddles 🐾 Flexible weekday + weekend availability 🐾 Experienced with both dogs AND cats Hi! I’m Whitney, a student at HCC and a huge animal lover. Back home in Pittsburgh, I have 3 dogs and a cat, and one of the hardest parts about being away at school is honestly how much I miss having my pets around. That’s a huge reason I wanted to start pet sitting. I get to spend time with animals again while also giving someone else peace of mind knowing their pet is being loved and cared for. ☺️ I know pets aren’t just pets; they’re part of your family. I would want someone caring for my own animals to be patient, responsible, gentle, and actually excited to spend time with them, and that’s exactly how I plan to treat yours. I don’t want to just come over, feed your pet, and leave. I want them to actually feel comfortable with me. Whether your pet is super playful and wants to run around, loves long walks, is shy and needs a little extra time to warm up, or would rather spend the whole visit cuddled up on the couch, I’m happy to follow their personality and make the experience as comfortable as possible. I’m also more than happy to send you photos, videos, and updates while you’re away because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that your pet is happy and doing well. You’ll never have to sit there wondering what they’re doing or whether they’re okay. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with me and for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for like they’re one of my own. 🩷 And honestly… since I miss my own pets so much, yours may end up getting a little spoiled with attention. 🤭 Pet Care Experience I’ve been around animals for years and have hands-on experience caring for my own 3 dogs and cat back home in Pittsburgh. Having that many pets definitely teaches you that every animal has their own personality, habits, likes, dislikes, and routine. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care including feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, cleaning up after pets, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with their normal routine. I understand that some pets are energetic and want to play constantly, while others may be nervous around someone new or just prefer relaxing and getting affection. I’m patient and happy to let your pet warm up to me! I’ll always follow whatever instructions you leave for me because I know how important consistency is, especially when their owner is away. If your pet has a certain feeding time, favorite walking route, favorite toy, bedtime routine, or little habit that makes them comfortable, I want to know about it! More than anything, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and companionship while they’re with me! 😁 My Schedule 🐾 I’m currently a student at HCC, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule! On weekdays, I’m usually available anytime from around 1:30 PM onward, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away! ☺️ My weekends are even more flexible—I’m available pretty much anytime throughout the day, so I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and schedule. Whether they need an early walk, some afternoon playtime, dinner and a potty break, or extra company later in the day, I’m happy to help! I know pets are happiest when they can stick to the routine they’re used to, so I’ll always do my best to work around their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule rather than making them adjust to mine. I’m also happy to discuss specific times with you beforehand so we can figure out what works best for you and your pet. 🩷 Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety is something I take seriously. Before caring for them, I’ll make sure I know about any medications, allergies, health concerns, triggers, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can care for them properly and avoid anything that might make them stressed or uncomfortable. I’ll always make sure doors and gates are secure, collars and harnesses are fitted properly, and leashes are fully attached before heading outside. I’ll also stay aware of traffic, other animals, and anything around us that could put your pet in an unsafe situation. If your pet stays with me, I do live with three roommates who all love animals and are comfortable having pets around. I’ll make sure everyone respects your pet’s space and any boundaries you give me, and if your pet is shy or needs a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they have the space they need to relax. I’m also careful about things pets could get into around the home, like food, trash, medications, or anything else that could be harmful. Before leaving, I’ll double-check that everything is secure and that your pet is safe and settled. If anything unexpected happens or I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you right away. I’d always rather ask and be extra careful than assume when it comes to someone else’s pet. 🩷

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’ve grown up around all types of dogs and have over 10 years of experience dog-sitting, walking, and providing in-home care for different breeds, including German Shepherds, Dobermans, Corgis, Labs, Doodles, Pomeranians, and more. I enjoy keeping dogs happy and entertained through walks, playtime, and basic training. Most of all, I give every animal I care for plenty of love, attention, and patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a flexible lifestyle, and can be available to take care of any and all dogs from 8AM-8PM, or other times if that is what is needed. Before I moved out, I had two corgis that I took sole care of. Now I have taken in a Pomeranian that I care for. Before I got to Florida, I babysat two labs at least one weekend every month. This included feeding, walking, giving medicine, playtime, training and endless hugs and kisses. As well as taking care of the labs, I cared for a German Shepherd for years that I trained, walked, fed, gave medicine and took to vet appointments. I know how and what to do in a lot of different stressful situations with dogs and all different habits and personalities. Most of all, I love all dogs and treat them all as my own.

“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.”
“Heather is a kind person who went the extra mile to take good care of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel while I was away for 8 days. We recently relocated to Tampa, so naturally I was very concerned about how my Cavi was going to adjust to his new environment plus being introduced to a new caregiver. Heather and her dogs were a welcoming family. I’m so grateful for her and plan to ask for her help again.”
“Aliyah was an incredible dog sitter! She took the best care of Mango and made sure Mango was safe, having fun, and always fed! I will definitely book her again when we need someone we trust to watch Mango!”
“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.”
“Lynne & Luis were amazing sitters for my dog and made sure that she was comfortable throughout the entire stay. They sent daily updates and pictures. It was clear that my dog had a great time with them. Highly recommend!”
“Debra was great! Quick and easy to communicate with and flexible when I had a flight cancellation. I received daily pictures and my dog came home wonderfully exhausted from several days of playing.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough good things about Nicolette, I wish I could gate keep her! It was my first time using her and it was for 12 nights. Of course using a new sitter for that long is nerve racking but she eased my anxiety instantly. My Lab is coming up on 14 yrs old and she was incredible with him. She was so great about sending daily updates and I never had to inquire first. He seemed so comfortable, at ease and very happy the entire stay. I am already planning to use her again! Thank you so much Nicki!”
“Joe is great! Very responsive, sends updates with pics, and a very trustworthy guy. Will definitely recommend him to my friends if they need a sitter!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and a variety of breeds including Border Collies, Black Labs, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and smaller high-energy dogs. I’ve also fostered dogs, which helped me become patient, attentive, and adaptable to different personalities and needs. I truly bond well with animals and treat every pet like family, giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible! I work part-time on my own schedule, attend classes, and an internship, but I’m free Monday/Tuesday/Thursday evenings. Thursday mornings, and all day Fri-Sun. I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and cared for while sticking closely to their routines and needs. I’m very attentive, caring, and communicative, and I love sending photo updates so owners can feel connected and reassured while away. I understand how important pets are because they truly are family, and they deserve the same love, attention, and care even when their owners can’t be with them.
