Dog Sitting Valrico

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life — three of them, all with different personalities and needs — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I originally went to school for veterinary medicine before changing my major, but that never changed the love I have for furry friends. Walking dogs is peaceful and therapeutic for me, and I’m excited to finally turn this into a hobby and a service I can share with others. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simple companionship. I’m able to adjust easily to each pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. My goal is always to match the rhythm they’re used to and give them the same level of care and comfort they receive with you. My home has a screened lanai with a pool that is not fenced in, and I also have stairs inside the house. The main areas are tile flooring, with carpeted bedrooms for comfort. I keep fresh water bowls easily accessible throughout the home since I have dogs of my own. I’m always mindful of each pet’s safety and make sure the environment matches their needs, energy level, and mobility.

About: I've dedicated my career to caring for animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours, too! Along with being the proud owner of a fun, energetic two-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, I have several years of professional animal care experience working with both domestic and exotic animals. My background has given me extensive experience with animal behavior, daily husbandry, enrichment, administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always strive to provide patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that require medications or extra patience. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. I know how much peace of mind matters when trusting someone with your pet, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, so I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after work. I'm also available most weekends with advance notice, which helps me ensure I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I do my best to be flexible, so don't hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make something work! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I'm experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and health, administering medications when needed, and remaining calm in unexpected situations. I believe communication is just as important as quality care, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses while you're away. I will always respect your home's routines, follow your care instructions carefully, and treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m Nick, and animals are my life. With years of experience in pet care, I've had the joy of looking after dogs, cats, and birds.

Plus, I’m pretty good at foundational puppy training and managing misbehaved dogs. My passion for animals drives me to provide exceptional care, ensuring every pet I look after is happy and healthy.

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve regularly cared for my family’s dogs, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and playtime. My parents’ outdoor dogs get so excited to see me, they race just to greet me! I can take care of your beloved pet Monday through Friday, from 11AM-7PM. I can provide multiple walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Feel free to contact me to discuss care schedules! Your pet’s safety comes first. I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and your pet’s routine. During walks, I use the equipment and walking routine you provide while keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I never introduce your pet to unfamiliar animals without your approval. I respect your home and follow your instructions regarding doors, gates, crates, and other safety precautions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.

“Abby is an amazing pet sitter for our two rambunctious Boxer dogs. She's calm, cool and collected. She's always professional and we plan to use Abby again and again as our pet sitter!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love being around them! I grew up with all sorts of pets, including an English bulldog and a golden retriever. I love any breed and any size pet. Whether it's going for a nature walk, playing outside, or simply giving them some extra love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. I'm currently working part-time in Brandon, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I'm happy to provide your pet with plenty attention and care while you're away. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I'll always follow owner's instructions and keep their normal routine consistent. As well as respecting their home and their pet's needs.

“Gabriela did an amazing job watching my dog, Max. He can be a bit anxious at first but warmed up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of him and will definitely reach out to her for visits in the future. She kept me well updated and took such great care of him. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have constantly been around dogs my whole life, socializing and training them. We’ve always had a lot of animals in my family all around, chickens, cats, dogs, and pig was in the mix at one point! I have volunteered with many rescues and have attended training classes with multiple different dogs. I have learned how to adapt to all types of dog behavior and am always open to doing a meet and greet before! I currently have a very flexible schedule so it’s just whenever needed! I just have my own dog that usually takes about 5-6 walks a day and 2 trails a week. I have a fenced in yard with a good amount of room to run. I do not let one of my dogs out there though because it is only four feet. Instead, I take her on trails about 2-3 times a week so she gets about 7-8 miles in a week.

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family. I currently work part-time, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays. I’m also available after 12:30 or 2:30 p.m. on workdays to care for your cats or dogs. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, food, and fresh water.

About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That hands-on experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to high-energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets exclusively in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality. Tiring out a high energy dog is no easy task but I love a good workout. Doesn’t happen often but when a cat is feeling needy for some ear scratches and and the zoomies to start chasing a laser… I’m there!

“I can’t be more grateful to Nattalie for her care. She was absolutely amazing in every single way and gave me ease will traveling. My dog was happy and loved her. I will definitely keep using her services A+”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I care for. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds (I have a Great Dane-Rottweiler mix, red heeler, and Bichon myself!) and understand how to keep dogs of all sizes feeling safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pup like family and tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. Being a dog mom and providing pet care is part of my everyday routine. I am available after 5pm during the week or anytime on weekends to walk your pup! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I follow your dog’s usual routine whether that means cuddle time on the couch, structured play, or quiet time in their own space. I keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. For dog walking or drop-ins, I focus on safety first using secure leashes, staying alert on routes, and making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and positive attention. I always give real-time updates, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away.

“Rosemary is a great sitter, very reliable and attentive. She took good care of our dogs for a weekend while we were gone. I’ll recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dogs. 100%”

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life whether they were part of my family, friends, or neighbors. My neighbors and other employers have relied on me to walk, feed, entertain and care for their pets. I'm currently a part-time nanny for families in my area so my schedule is very flexible. Which gives me plenty of time to walk, play, and feed your pup! I live on a completely fenced-in-acre lot with a doggy door for unlimited access to playing in our yard. I have one small dog that either gets along with any dog or is entirely unbothered by any other dog in her presence.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, and animals have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I grew up on a ranch in Pennsylvania, where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of farm animals as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more exotic species. Growing up, I also helped rescue and care for animals until they were healthy and able to fend for themselves again. Today, animals are still a huge part of my everyday life. I have two 15-year-old long-haired Chihuahuas, a 130-pound Sulcata tortoise, and five Fennec foxes. I am also a USDA-licensed breeder of Fennec foxes, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals at every stage of life—from newborns requiring close attention and specialized care to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, sizes, ages, and care requirements. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I work full-time as a Realtor, but I’m also a full-time animal mom! Since having so many animals of my own makes traveling difficult, I often find myself caring for friends’ and family members’ pets instead—and I genuinely love it. I decided to join Rover because spending time with animals is something that truly brings me joy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them while they’re in my care. ❤️🐾 I make my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility throughout the day. As a Realtor, I’m frequently driving throughout the area for work, which makes it easy for me to incorporate drop-in visits, walks, feedings, and other pet care into my daily routine. My schedule varies from day to day, so I can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! I provide drop-in care for many different types of animals and understand that every pet has their own routine and individual needs. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, crate or enclosure cleaning, litter boxes, and other routine care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats as well as reptiles, birds, small animals, senior pets, newborn animals, and many exotics. I have extensive hands-on animal experience and am a USDA-licensed exotic animal breeder. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety is always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, keep doors, gates, crates and enclosures secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
