About: With over 25 years as a dedicated pet parent and hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, your furry family member will be in loving, knowledgeable hands. As a work-from-home professional near Hyde Park, I offer flexible weekday availability and am just minutes from Bayshore for those scenic strolls your pup will love. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a calming walk, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. Let’s make tails wag! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your cat or dog needs attention in the morning, afternoon, or evening, I’m available to accommodate their schedule. I’m happy to provide consistent care, walks, check-ins, or snuggle breaks whenever needed! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2-bedroom apartment right across the street from beautiful Bayshore—perfect for long, scenic walks with your pup! I share the space with one roommate who is also a fellow animal lover, and we have one very friendly cat who loves meeting new friends. Your pet will feel right at home in our cozy, calm environment, with plenty of attention and affection to go around.

“Matt took great care of my two doodles by visiting them daily while we were gone for extended periods. He came by to meet them prior to his engagement and it was obvious they both liked him immediately. He let us know when he visited and sent us clever photos so we could see they were happy. Highly recommend and will request his services again.”


“Brandi is AMAZING! My dog literally waited on her to come each day. I was recovering from surgery and she was a lifesaver. Always kind, on time, dependable and great with Max. I highly recommend her!!”


“Danielle did a great job!!! My pup is very shy coming out of his crate but she was able to gain his trust and take him for a good walk. He looked like loved her!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. I worked as a kennel assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, bathing, and monitoring the health of multiple dogs at once. Outside of work, neighbors, friends, and family have regularly relied on me to care for their pets. I’m experienced with high-energy puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 2 PM. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pet the attention they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a secure courtyard and a dog park just steps away—perfect for safe play and exercise. I have two friendly dogs who love making new friends, so your pup will always have company! I can crate your dog if needed, stick to any routine you provide, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities when pets are in my care.

“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! She even noticed that my dog wasn't eating a lot while I was away, and took extra time to hand feed her to make sure she was getting enough food each day! I appreciated having the peace of mind that my dog was in such good hands while I was gone!”


About: Hey, welcome to my profile. First thing first, I have a kitten in my home. To begin, let me tell you why I am on Rover. My love for cats has been present ever since I was a child. It would be nice to have a little company at home since I live alone. Before booking let's set a meet and greet. On my days off it fits really well, since I live by the downtown Tampa area which has dog parks near by in from my neighborhood :). I live on an apartment, small and good location for dogs. Send me a list of your dog care and I’ll make sure it happens :)

“Ambria was amazing and very pleased with her care. I have a puppy and she was awesome with communication, walking him, and being patient. I highly recommend her services and will be using her again :)”


About: I’ve had my doggies for the last 6 years, I’ve learned that love, patience, and especially attention make all the difference in the little guys. I’ll treat your pets like family, keeping them safe, happy, and cared for every moment you’re away. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have full availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I can adjust to your pet’s routine any day. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely-feeding, walking, and playing just as you do-while keeping their space clean, safe, and comfortable so they feel completely at ease.

“Elsie is awesome!! My dog was nervous & alarmed to see a stranger come get her to walk her but Elsie was patient waiting for my dog to trust her, then she sent pics & took her on a nice long walk!”


About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child. I’ve had my current pet for six years along with pet sitting for my coworkers. I work remote so am usually available. I’m looking for a way to get out, take care of animals, and just help in more ways! I’m new to Rover, but I’m happy to answer any questions and hope that you’ll allow me the chance to spend time with your baby!! I work remote so I’m home all day. I’d be able to step away for dog walks or work in your home as well if it’s pet sitting. I’ll treat your home with respect and ensure it’s well taken care of along with your pets. Your pets will be safe with me as I’ll look after them with care. I have my own pet, so I understand how important they are.

“Kaitlynne is a life saver! We were hesitant to try Rover since our dog is very reactive. They got along from the first walk. Kaitlynne is fast to respond when we book and sends great photos of their walks. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of my neighbors or friends dogs for weeks at a time. I’m good at managing them and attentive at reading their body language. I work remote so I am available to pet sit, or take breaks to walk and feed them. I am a lot more available on weekends. I have a nice dog park next to me and a lot of area to walk your dog. I keep my place clean so no animal can find anything on the ground or kitchen counter. If you like your dogs crated at night I can do that as well. I also have two roommates who can also keep watch them if I ever have to run errands.

West Shore Palms dog parents share their Rover experiences
Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!

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! She even noticed that my dog wasn't eating a lot while I was away, and took extra time to hand feed her to make sure she was getting enough food each day! I appreciated having the peace of mind that my dog was in such good hands while I was gone!

Christina is seriously one of the best dog sitters/walkers we have ever encountered on this app. She is incredibly thoughtful and kind to not only our dogs but us. She is always on time and communications very throughly. My two dogs, a 8 month old puppy and 2 year old Bernese adore her so much. They cry and jump up and down when they see her hahah. I could not recommend Christina enough she is a great person and a friend!!

We are so grateful for Austin. From his response to our inquiry, to the meet and greet and him helping us out while we were away with dog walking he has been phenomenal. Extremely friendly, trustworthy, communicative, knowledgeable, and the list could go on- highly recommend Austin. We have two older doggos (15 yr old female 9 lb silky terrier & 13 yr old male 80lb lab, chow chow, boxer, staffy mix) with some medical issues (almost fully blind, arthritis, heart condition, our big guy had TPLO surgery and torsion surgery 8 months ago) and he was great with them. Our pups loved him and had so much fun with him. Our big guy is quite sensitive, high energy and dog reactive on leash and Austin had no problem handling him. Can’t emphasize the word trustworthy enough, we were able to take our trip without any worry as we knew they were in good hands. Thanks so much Austin!

Rylee came in super clutch for us at the last minute. I reached out the night before to see if she could walk my golden retriever the next day during lunch. She immediately replied with confirmation. Rylee left me pictures and texted me when she was done with the walk to ensure my piece of mind. I’ll definitely request her next time. Thanks Rylee!
