“Rachel is amazing! She is always on time, is reliable and goes the extra mile with our pup. Our dog is always happy and tired out after her walks with Rachel! Highly recommend”
“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!”
“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Great with my pup. Always on time and accommodated to any change. I wish she could keep walking Rafa but I understand she has other commitments. Emma gave me enough advance notice, which shows being responsible and respectful. I will definitely trust her with my pup again ??”
About: I have daily experience walking a 75 lb dog and can comfortably manage multiple dogs at once. As a graduate student who loves animals and the outdoors, I bring patience, responsibility, and energy to every walk. I treat pets like family, ensuring their safety, happiness, and care. I am currently a graduate student with online classes, therefore my schedule is extremely flexible. I can work all hours of the week and/or weekend. I care for my partner’s dog as if he were my own, and I’ll do the same with yours. I follow routines closely, make sure pets feel safe and loved, and give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. You can trust that your pet will be cared for just like family.
About: I have taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a house full of 4 dogs and I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with my furry family as well as other dogs in our community. I have experience in pet-sitting, neighborhood walking, bathing, boarding, and trick training. I am working part time (mostly in the evenings on weekdays), so I have plenty of time to play with and provide care for your furry friends! My schedule leaves me available on weekends, mornings and afternoons. I have experience crating dogs, administering medication, giving treats and commands, as well as handing dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable with any and all pups!
About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
“Sally is a wonderful dog walker. She was very communicative, considerate and professional — and she sent photos and video each day. I would highly recommend d Sally for any dog related needs! We will certainly be using her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I have an adorable Italian Greyhound/Shar Pei mix who I adopted from Humane Society, have been trusted by friends and Rover members to care for their dogs, and have spent many hours volunteering at various shelters and rescues, most recently at Humane Society in Tampa Bay. I’m pursuing a degree in dog training, am preparing my pup to become a service animal, and have dedicated my life to working with animals. Dogs are my heart, and I’ll show yours as much love and affection as anyone can possibly offer. Warning: They will be spoiled! I am currently working full-time on Rover and have a flexible schedule. I'm ideally looking for long-term clients, but am open to your occasional needs as well. I live in an area that's ideal for long walks and is close to Hyde Park Village/Bayshore Boulevard, have access to a backyard for your pup to roam and play, and live in close proximity to various dog parks. I have a car and am available for walking, boarding, and home sitting needs.
About: Hi I currently own a 3 year old, 80lb lab mix, he’s very high energy and a 9 year old cat i’ve had for 7 years. I have done plenty of dog walking, pet sitting, and grooming of other pets:) I am currently going to school part time so I will have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for your pets whenever you need! I cannot provide services inside my home due to my large dog and cat that is scared of dogs he doesn’t know, so home boarding isn’t something I am able to do.
About: I am well experienced will challenging or hard to understand animals. I grew up with animals of all types and ages on a farm. Helping with shy animals is also a gift! Currently on the full time job hunt so I am just looking for ways to spend my time. As such my schedule is quite flexible. I am polite respectful and caring. I spent a lot of time as a housekeeper when I was in high school so I am familiar with being responsible in other peoples homes.
About: I’m a full time firefighter with a real passion for animals! I’ve made a commitment not only to the community I serve but also a commitment to your animals happiness! I have a house that’s 1500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and one of the rooms is dedicated for a cat oasis. I’m committed to personalized attention, consideration and peace of mind. My schedule is extremely flexible since I only work 8 days a month so my availability is open! With advanced notice I can make any schedule work I prioritize safety with supervised play areas, constant monitoring, regularly cleaning to ensure a secure and hygienic environment. With emergency preparedness protocols in place, including access to veterinary care, I provide peace of mind for pet owners.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and farm animals since I was young! I currently own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. Perfect for those last minute occasions that pop up. Available whenever needed to take care of your fur baby! The health, wellbeing and safety of your animal is of my utmost concern. I’ll always have your dog on a leash outside (unless you have a fenced in yard) and monitor their reaction to the environment. If there’s anything “off” about your pet I’ll notify you ASAP.

Amanda & Matthew K.Star Sitter
“Amanda has watched my dog, Jeebie, on multiple occasions, and I cannot recommend her enough!

This never happens with Amanda watching her. Amanda treats my dog as if she is her own and send me photo updates of them playing and cuddling. She is incredibly reliable and always shows up at the agreed upon time. If you are someone that treats your pet like a member of the family, you want a pet sitter who will do the same - well look no further… Amanda is that someone! 10/10 recommend and will continue using her in the future!”

Ybor City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carley has been an absolutely phenomenal walker! She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and—most importantly—genuinely caring with my elderly dog. Her sincerity and trustworthiness are evident from the start, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. She’s also very knowledgeable about medication administration, which is a huge plus. Truly, no dog could ask for better care or company!
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!
Amanda is such a pleasure to work with! Our dog loved her from the second she walked through the door- she ran right up to her and wagged her tail- and she loved going on walks with her. We were so happy to find Amanda and would recommend her to anyone for any doggie care!
Roxana has walked Jack several times, and she’s always been great. She’s been able to help me out last minute. Jack is a strong ball of muscle and he can be reactive to other animals and loud noises, and she’s seemed to have handled him well. I’d definitely recommend her!
