“Hermun is always so sweet and kind with our dog and he loves going to her house. She is so professional, responsive, and so knowledgeable about dogs. The first time he stayed at her house he got sick and she handled it so well and with such compassion. We were so worried taking him somewhere he was unfamiliar initially, but she made him feel so at home and her dog Max has such a calm energy that helped him as well. We feel lucky to have found her.”

“Kiran is the best sitter! Our Lily is always well taken care of and she always comes back happy😊 Kiran is responsive and communicative throughout the stay. Definitely recommend!”

He treated Lobo like his own, and it was obvious our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during the stay. We loved receiving updates and knowing Lobo was in such good hands. Joshua is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the pets he watches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“My pup loved her time with Virginia. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety to the max, but was calm and relaxed the whole time she was with Virginia. She sent daily photos letting me know my pup was well cared for and loved. Can't recommend Virginia enough.”
“Evgenia and her family were incredible! They cared for my special-needs dog with so much love, patience, and attention. Evgenia kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, giving me complete peace of mind. My dog clearly felt safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. I’m so grateful for her compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your fur baby like their own! 🐶”
“Eileen was so patient and kind. My little guy had just experienced a stressful trip and found himself in Eileen’s care because Mom was going away again but this time without him. He was not his typical self and he was anxious. Eileen handled him so well and I am grateful for her excellent care.”
“Quavo had the best time! Elena was super polite and kept us in the loop with frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. You could tell Quavo felt right at home with them and had the best time with Coco. The cute bandana at pickup was a very sweet touch. We’d happily book again and recommend her to anyone nearby! 🐾”
About: I began dog walking for my neighbors at 8 years old and helped take care of my family’s french bulldog throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Given her high care needs, I have experience in caring for senior dogs and am able to give them medication. I have pets-sat for families with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Growing up I also had a hamster and guinea pigs of my own! I love doing the “Doggy Day Out” at my local shelter where I get to care for a shelter dog for the day and would love to give your furry friend that same experience. I’m currently working a part-time job and am a full time college student. During the school year, I have classes Mon-Thurs in the morning and for the summer I am completely available to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and would love to care for your pup! I will take them for a walk and play with them, treating them as if they are my own dogs.
“Still the best dog care service on Rover, from the special care she gives to the doggies to the communication. She gave my cami a bath so she was nice and clean during her 9 days stay. She left toys for my princess when it was time to pick her up. And she treated cami as her own family. She is the ONLY stay that cami allergies didn’t act up. Cami had solid poops when returning home. Compared to others she monitors the dogs so they don’t eat scraps. She also gave cami such pretty photo shoots that I have some of the best pics. This is my second time using her, so glad I found Cece.”
“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!!”
“Matt is very understanding, communicative and flexible. He sent me photos even though it was a one night stay! He was perfectly fine with my dog's crate and accessories. He makes sure all the dogs get along. My boxer, Felice came back a happy boy after playing with some new friends. Felice was well cared for and I recommend Matt.”
“Amazing! My dog loved Shayna from the moment she met her! Was very calm, easy process and we appreciated the pics and updates from Shayna too! Loved it, thank you. Hope to see Shayna again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Samuel is amazing to leave my dog (Aero) with. Aero is always excited to go back to visit. He is extremely accommodating with last minute situations and travel problems, always is willing to keep an extra day. He is the only rover I use now!”
“Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!”

About: I've had dogs all my life, & have owned my own for 20 years. When I got married I took in my parents 2 older yorkies & purchased our own. During the last 20 years, I've raised a total of 6 generations of Yorkies. As my Yorkies have gotten older, we’re eyeing to get a bigger dog soon & looking to get used to walking bigger babies. So we’re both going to be walking each other while having fun too! I also love pictures, so if you request them, I will be more than happy to send pics & videos during their walks. Any questions, just ask! I am a stay at home dog mom, so I am always home, unless I need to run an errand, then my husband will be here. Since I have my own set of dogs, it’s something I already do & would love to take care of other dogs/ cats as passive income. I have a fenced yard & my own pack of dogs. They are never left unattended or outside for more than 5-10 mins. While doing their business or getting their Vitamin D in for the day. We do prefer pets that are able to be crated at night. Please be prepared to bring a crate for your baby. We also do require that your baby have records of shots. This can be discussed in further detail via phone call.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

During the school year, I have classes Mon-Thurs in the morning and for the summer I am completely available to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and would love to care for your pup! I will take them for a walk and play with them, treating them as if they are my own dogs.
“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!!”
“Matt is very understanding, communicative and flexible. He sent me photos even though it was a one night stay! He was perfectly fine with my dog's crate and accessories. He makes sure all the dogs get along. My boxer, Felice came back a happy boy after playing with some new friends. Felice was well cared for and I recommend Matt.”
“Samuel is amazing to leave my dog (Aero) with. Aero is always excited to go back to visit. He is extremely accommodating with last minute situations and travel problems, always is willing to keep an extra day. He is the only rover I use now!”
“Chante was wonderful with our dog, Summer! She did a meet and greet with us beforehand, which made us feel completely comfortable. During Summer’s stay, Chante sent us daily pictures and updates. Summer was well cared for and happy doggo. She had a great time with Chante and her dog. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy to find Melinda and David! They watched our two dogs while we were gone for the weekend and took amazing care of them! They truly love animals, and we loved knowing that our pups were safe and happy while we were gone. They went above and beyond to make our dogs comfortable in their home, and they were great at communicating and providing daily updates. Our pups loved the daily walks and lots of play, and they were clearly happy and comfy and having a great time! It’s always so hard to leave them behind, but it’s easier knowing they’re getting the attention and care they need and deserve. Melinda & David were so nice and friendly, and they truly cared about our dogs. We will definitely be asking Melinda & David the next time we need someone to watch our pups!”
“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.”
“Samuel took wonderful care of Coco. Communication was great from the start, and he kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. His home and location were perfect and made drop-off easy, and Coco was comfortable right away. She’ll definitely be back—she already misses him!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Tampa. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been taught how to deal with all things dog! I love staying active so dog walking is the perfect job for me! I enjoy walking my dogs, playing with them, and overall making sure they're being taken care of and I'd love to do the same with your furry friends. At home I have 3 dogs so I'm used to being around them 24/7 and being their care taker. The last couple of years my family and I have also fostered a couple dogs, which has given me the opportunity to gain experience. My main priority is making sure your pets are happy and healthy while you are out of the house! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! As a graduate student I spend a lot of time studying at home. I am very open on weekends and would love to watch your dogs to get a good break from my school work! I have a fenced in area at my apartment specifically made for dogs. The area around is perfect to take long walks and get out in the sunshine! I love sticking to schedules and making sure your dog is comfortable with their normal daily activities!
“This was our first time using Rover and Ada had us at ease our entire trip! She sent lots of updates and even gave our sweet Jojo a bath! We are so grateful for her and will absolutely use her again!!”
“It was our second time using Viviana, her communication is great and our Dexter really loved her. I would totally use her again for our Dexter.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She provided frequent updates and made sure Ghost was well taken care of. He had such a great time and even made a new best friend with Rory! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Debra was really good with Argus. She was very accommodating with the booking. We had to change the plans multiple times and she was ready to take care of Argus all the time. She even modified the booking and provided a discount for us for long term booking.she and her son took care of Argus really well.”
