“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”


“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“We recently boarded our German Shepherd with Shelly and Chris for five nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. He had an absolute blast playing with Shelly and her family, and we received daily photo updates that brought us so much joy and peace of mind. After years of trying different boarding options, we can confidently say this was the best experience we’ve ever had. Shelly and Chris treated our dog like one of their own, and it truly felt like a second home for him. We’re so grateful to have found such a warm and caring family, and we’ll definitely continue to entrust them with our pup whenever we travel. Thank you, Thank you Shelly and family, for everything!”

“Amazing sitter was looking for someone last minute because we had no one to watch our dog. She took him in. He got to play with her dog and spend an amazing day while we had a fun day at Busch Gardens.”

“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”

“I cannot express how grateful we are that we found Cece, she is always our #1 choice if she is available. I get updates everyday on how Cash is doing and he has such a great time when he goes over there. He stayed about a week this time and she even gave him a bath which I was so thankful for after getting home from a long trip. I cannot recommend her enough, thank you Cece!”

“This is my second time booking with Victoria and Mocha loves her! She’s super communicative and responsive. Friendly and professional which makes me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!”

“Shelley was FANTASTIC!! Gracie was obviously very happy and well taken care of!!! This was our first trip ever that we had no worries or stress because we knew that Gracie was in a loving and caring home!! We are so grateful for Shelley and her family!!!!”

“It's our first experience using Rover...and it was great! Kelly and Tony were amazing. I couldn't have picked a better place for our dog. They are flexible with the pick up and drop off. They kept me informed about our dog all day. I recommend Kelly 100%...we are from out of town and had a great experience with Kelly and Tony, entrusting them with our family dog.”

“J’akeecia watched my dog while I was out of town and did an awesome job. Super easy to communicate with, sent me updates without me even asking. She was super reliable, and took great care of my pup. Pics walks, zero stress. Definitely recommend!”

“We booked Elona at the last minute, because we came in town for a Jennifer Hudson concert. And let me tell you, she was AMAZING!!! She sent several pictures and updates throughout our doggy stay. We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.”

“First time with Ashlee and happy with the great care all 4 of my dogs had with her. We received daily photos showing they were happy and enjoying their vacation with her own dog. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much this was Benito’s first stay away from his family. I was so nervous and you and your hubby truly put me and my daughter at ease. The pictures and videos and updates were great! Benito loves you guys !! Thank you again! He looks forward to his next stay in your home away from home.”
“My dogs always love staying at Jorge's house. I know they will receive excellent care and they always have so much fun judging by the videos that he sends to me regularly during their stay. I highly recommend using Jorge for all your Rover needs.”

“Cindy was great with Yuki, Cindy also did a great job on communications. Our days was always busy but Cindy still send pictures and updates on Yuki. We will surely rebook Cindy next time! Thank you!”

“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”

“Annalise was great! She took care of my cats while I was away and gave me peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates with photos after every visit. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after.”


“Sara is such an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our 2 cats and I am so glad we found her. One of our cats got a recent asthma diagnosis and she was so patient giving him his inhaler. They got plenty of play time, love and we got a bunch of cute photos too! She is very responsive, and gives very detailed updates every visit too. We were honestly so nervous to get a pet sitter, but having Sara taking care of our babies gave us so much peace of mind from the start. I would 100% recommend her!!”

“This is the second time we’ve booked with Whisperlin to drop in and take care of our cats while on vacation. We have been very happy with the level of attention to the cats and the daily pictures. The cats are happy too!”

“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”


About: I'm a lifelong cat person with 4 years of professional sitting experience. I'm experienced with senior cats who need extra TLC, multi-cat households, and bottle-feeding kittens. I'm also great at enrichment, bringing new toys and creating engaging play sessions. What sets me apart is my detailed observation; I notice subtle changes in behavior, eating habits, or litter box use that might signal health concerns.

“Andrea is the cat whisperer! My cats, one of which is extremely shy, warmed up to her immediately. Cats have a sense of who they can trust. Andrea was reliable, followed everything that was asked, and sent updates. I always get nervous leaving my pets home by themselves when I'm away, but I felt at ease with Andrea checking on them. Will definitely be contacting her again!”

“Great communication and so considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my baby had everything he needed and more. I’ve rebooked multiple times and she’s been consistent everytime!!”


“Best Rover we’ve ever worked with! Immensely communicative including when navigating scheduling issues out of her control. Our cat acted incredibly similar to how he does with us. Plenty of pictures and also had a day-by-day notebook entry of his behavior. Took extra step to clean up after the cat beyond what we asked. Book Sarah if you need to know your pet will be cared for with a professional grade service.”


About: I don’t have as much experience as with dogs, but they’re all cute animals so I don’t discriminate. Most of my cats just do their own thing and when they want attention, they’ll let you know, so I know not to force affection.

“Michelle is 10 stars. I was impressed from the moment i met Michelle with her preparation and attention to detail. I left the country for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond keeping me updated and taking great care of 5 cats and a bird! I had no worries while i was away thanks to Michelle”


About: I’ve had two cats of my own for over 7 years, and they are both healthy, happy, and well cared for. Living with cats long-term has taught me how different each cat’s personality can be—from playful and social to shy and independent—and how to respect their space while still providing attentive care. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and noticing any small changes in behavior. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“She’s absolutely amazing. My babies loved her! She’s very informative and caring. I love that she kept me posted on their wellbeing and progress throughout the day while I was out working. Definitely recommend her as future use of service.”

“My Aussie had a great stay with Kelly and the other dogs! I greatly appreciated that Kelly sent multiple pictures throughout the day and I could tell my Aussie had a busy and playful day!”

“Iyorima was amazing! Jin loved her and got used to her fairly quickly. I get paranoid pretty easily and she understood and sent me photos and text messages about Jin to calm me down. Jin was a happy boy when he was there and that’s all I care about.”

“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!”

“Ana was very sweet to our pup, gave him lots of love & exercise. Our pup came home happy! She was very flexible and accommodating with time. Lots of pictures and updates during his stay.”

About: Hey there! I’m Lindsey, and I’m here to make sure your dog has the best time ever while you’re away! Whether it’s dog sitting, walks, house sitting, or doggy day care—I’ve got it covered. I’m home full-time, so your pup will have my undivided attention (and trust me, there will be plenty of tummy rubs!). I live in a safe, gated neighborhood with my own playful sidekick, Cooper—an 8-year-old lab mix who’s always ready for new friends! Your dog will have the run of my home, lots of outdoor fun, and of course, tons of love. If your dog loves cuddles, belly scratches, and treats (who doesn’t, right?), they’ll feel right at home with me. Let’s make sure your fur baby gets all the love and fun while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I’m free during the day! I’m home full-time, so I can dedicate all my attention to caring for your dog—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just hanging out together. With Cooper as a companion, your pup will always have a buddy to play with, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and exercise throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! Just like Cooper, your dog will have free roam of the house and is welcome on all the furniture for snuggles and naps. I ensure a safe, cozy, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and love, and make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I follow your rules to make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, so they feel at ease whether we're out for a walk or relaxing indoors.
“Deborah was wonderful! She was able to accommodate my last minute request and was so good to my sweet girl. She asked lots of questions and I knew my dog was in good hands. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent photos too. I would definitely recommend Deborah and I’ll certainly be using her services again!”

“I highly recommend Ava! She was punctual, communicated well, and gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again or recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”


About: I have always had so much love for animals and have an 8 year old Havanese/ Maltese mix of my own. I love both cats and dogs. I’m a undergrad college student at the University of South Florida and have availability Tuesdays and Friday’s after my morning class.

“Amazing peace of mind having Annaliese check in on my two dogs. I have shibas and they can be a little cautious with new people, but they warmed right up to her! She was helpful with a last minute booking I needed and was on time! Great sitter, i’d work with her again and recommend her to my pet parent friends!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a court reporter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.

I even studied animal care for a while & got to work with many exotic animals, caring for Tigers, Cheetahs & other big cats, reptiles, amphibians, snakes and more.

About: I started caring for dogs by the age of 13. Since then, I have been a reliable and safe pet sitter. I have grown up and taken care of larger dogs, which is where most of my experience has come from. I have cared for little and medium-sized dogs. I love quality time with the animals. Pet-sitting isn't just about letting them out and feeding them; it's about quality time. All dogs have a unique personality, and I love learning about who they are. That way, even when you're away, they are not alone. Hi Tampa furry pet owners! I am transitioning to college within the next month! I will be a full time college student, but i have a lot of open time between classes and only have two classed per day. That being said, I have plenty of time in the in-between of other activities to spend time with the animals. I will be looking at getting a job eventually, but until then, I have a lot of time for your furry animals. I work and live my best life with a schedule, so its no hassle to add in a furry animal in the mix! In the client's home, I will make sure all doors and fences are locked before and after my time over at the place. Lights will be off unless told otherwise. It will only be me in your home with your pets for safety purposes. All rules and directions will be followed, and I am not hesitant to reach out and ask questions because your pet's well-being and safety is important to me.

About: Connecting with animals has been my life journey. I have extensive experience and knowledge with all kinds of animals, domestic and exotic. I have had cats, dogs, rats, birds and the occasional rescue of baby raccoons, opossums and turtles. Right now due to my father’s health, I resigned from corporate and have made the decision to care for him. Initially, I took a leave of absence. Prior to these current issues, I always took my girls ( Lucy & Deja ) up to spend weekends all together anyway. Since my mom passed 3 years ago that routine was in place. I am available to be of service to my fellow animal parents and ensure you that I come with a lot of love and respect for your babies. 🌼 I currently am living in a condo with my dogs Lucy and Deja. They get long walks and playtime with their friends in the neighborhood. We all sleep together and I have a gaggle of cats/kittens (from a feral pregnant stray) I took in. When I had my house of 30 years, we had a fenced yard and everyone I know calls me when they have animal “issues”. I have been contacted through work internal team chats to go help the crow that flew into a window (at work). I have carriers and necessary supplies to help in these situations. That crow went immediately to Blue Pearl ( who will take in anything and help save it, humanely euthanize it, or then send to wildlife rehabilitation centers. I can care for all animals and want to be there for your pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I went through the vet program in high school where I learned how to professionally take care of unfamiliar dogs. I have also owned my own pups too. For my services i also have the additions of baths and training which can be arranged and the meet and greet. The baths include nail clipping/grinding, teeth cleaning and ear cleaning. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry friends while they are in my care. Safety is the main priority. When it comes to walks, drop ins, and house sitting I make sure to leave your home and your pet exactly how I found them (or better!) When your pets are in my house I never leave them alone uncrated or without water.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets.

Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m home full time and able to be flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and routine they need to feel comfortable and at home.

“James did great with our anxious pup Baloo on their first walk. Baloo usually takes a bit to warm up to new people, but James gained his trust almost immediately. We did the walk together to help Baloo get acclimated, and I know they’ll have a blast alone on future walks!”

“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”


“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“We recently boarded our German Shepherd with Shelly and Chris for five nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. He had an absolute blast playing with Shelly and her family, and we received daily photo updates that brought us so much joy and peace of mind. After years of trying different boarding options, we can confidently say this was the best experience we’ve ever had. Shelly and Chris treated our dog like one of their own, and it truly felt like a second home for him. We’re so grateful to have found such a warm and caring family, and we’ll definitely continue to entrust them with our pup whenever we travel. Thank you, Thank you Shelly and family, for everything!”

“Amazing sitter was looking for someone last minute because we had no one to watch our dog. She took him in. He got to play with her dog and spend an amazing day while we had a fun day at Busch Gardens.”

“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”

“This is my second time booking with Victoria and Mocha loves her! She’s super communicative and responsive. Friendly and professional which makes me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!”

“It's our first experience using Rover...and it was great! Kelly and Tony were amazing. I couldn't have picked a better place for our dog. They are flexible with the pick up and drop off. They kept me informed about our dog all day. I recommend Kelly 100%...we are from out of town and had a great experience with Kelly and Tony, entrusting them with our family dog.”

“J’akeecia watched my dog while I was out of town and did an awesome job. Super easy to communicate with, sent me updates without me even asking. She was super reliable, and took great care of my pup. Pics walks, zero stress. Definitely recommend!”

“First time with Ashlee and happy with the great care all 4 of my dogs had with her. We received daily photos showing they were happy and enjoying their vacation with her own dog. Thank you!”

“My dogs always love staying at Jorge's house. I know they will receive excellent care and they always have so much fun judging by the videos that he sends to me regularly during their stay. I highly recommend using Jorge for all your Rover needs.”


“It’s people like Seaura that make Life better for everyone else. I was in a crunch trying to find someone at the last minute to keep my babies so we can attend my son’s high school graduation an hour from our home. Seaura answered my request quickly and graciously and I immediately got great vibes during our conversation! She welcomed both my pups with open arms for the last two days and they were happy to be with her. Her home was lovely and she kept me abreast of the “goings on”. I would chose Seaura any time we are in her area again!”

“Joshua took amazing care of our dog Mya while we were away. From the start, they were super responsive and made sure to accommodate everything we needed. During Mya’s stay, Joshua kept us in the loop with regular updates and cute photos, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was doing well. Plus, when our plans changed last minute, they were totally flexible and made everything stress-free for us. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again next time we need a sitter!”

“Windell was very nice and friendly overall. When I was dropping off my dog, he made sure that my dog had the items my dog needed for her stay and offered his resources if I had missed items for my dog. During her stay, I asked him questions about how my dog was doing and he replied very quick and sent me updates and pictures of how my dog is doing. Windell offered his help upon picking up my dog and debriefed me about Butter’s stay. It was a pleasure to have him take care of my dog! :)”

“Jessica and her entire family were absolutely amazing! I've never left my dog Ginger with anyone aside from a close friend, so I was worried about her settling in somewhere new. My worries quickly disappeared on day one, when Jessica sent updates and photos of Ginger making herself at home. Ginger loved the entire family and was doted on by Jessica, her two wonderful children, and her husband. Jessica was very communicative throughout Ginger's stay and sent regular updates and photos. I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of Ginger while I was gone and am thrilled she has a second home to go to whenever I'm away. Ginger will definitely be staying with Jessica and her family again!”


“Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Kathy and Dzeni who watched our two dogs for 12 days. They went above and beyond in every possible way! Our pups were not only well taken care of but were genuinely happy. Dzeni and Kathy took them for daily walks, played with them tirelessly, and showered them with affection. They kept us updated with photos and texts. Their dedication and love for animals shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for better caregivers. Thank you for taking such good care of Lucy and Eggo! They miss you already. We hope you are available when we plan another trip as we doubt any other care would come close to the bar you’ve set. So grateful for you both! Thanks again! Alicia and family”

“Giovanni was incredible. Great communication front start to finish. Marla and Whiskey had a blast - the videos and pictures sent daily were proof of that. Giovanni went above and beyond- we ended up staying another 2 days on our trip and I only packed maybe 1 extra day of food he went to the store and bought chicken breast and cooked it for my babies. Do yourself a favor and book Giovanni for daycare or boarding you won’t be sorry! It definitely looked like he treated Marla and Whiskey as his own and made me feel secure someone was loving on them & giving the best time while we were away.”
