“Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!”


“Zach was incredibly professional and a great communicator. He listened intently to my pets routines and made sure they each had their needs met.”


“Jordan was fantastic. She took great care of our dog and our house while we were out of town. She provided regular updates and great pictures of our pup. We would absolutely recommend Jordan to all of our friends!”


“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”


“Perfect! Sent pictures while I was gone and was very responsive. My pup is great and the house looks exactly the way I left it. Will book again!”

“Haley took care of our pets and we appreciated all the photos while we were away. It allowed us to feel at ease knowing they were ok and she was able to spend some time with them, especially our pup who cannot be left out of the cage when alone.”


“Victoria has house sat for us and our two large dogs twice now. She has done extremely well with our dogs that can be sometimes difficult with new people. It was evident that our dogs were well cared for and comfortable with her in the home. Victoria was prompt in notifying us if any changes with the schedule were needed. We are glad to have someone we trust to stay in our home with our dogs while we are away.”


“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”


About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years and will give your fur babies anything they need. I work from home with a flexible schedule and have a fully fenced in backyard. This allows your pet to go out whenever needed or longer walks. I do have a cat, but he fine with other cats and indifferent to dogs. I work from home during the week on a standard work schedule. I can watch your pet any day needed. Although I work full-time, I make my own schedule and can visit your pet at any time or take them outside if staying at my place. I inquire of the pet owner prior to any boarding or appointment on pet specific needs and will schedule as such. I also have an extra bedroom that can be used for their bedroom as needed.

About: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.

“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”


“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”


“Ronnie always goes over and above! My babies just adore him and he always responds so quickly! I will continue to use Ronnie and highly recommend him!”


“Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Molly was awesome staying over to watch Dallas while we were out of town! Our pup looked to have a great time and we got plenty of updates along the way.”


About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care You Can Count On With over 5 years of experience walking and caring for dogs—and a decade of fostering cats—I’m passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care—I’ve got glowing references ready to share. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and full of energy, I’d love to connect. I treat every pet like my own! I work my own hours with refurbishing furniture and pet sitting so my availability is open! I have plenty of references available for you as well. I am very respectful of your home and your privacy. I will only ever be in areas designated for me! I promise to respect your dog and their needs/temperaments. I also have a viszla/lab mix and dachshund for a playmate if wanted!

Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!

Jennifer was very prompt and kept me advised as to what was going on with my pet. My pet adored her and responded great. I have a new puppy so it’s not an easy assignment but she handled everything great. Would definitely use her again.

Jaden was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment they met, I could tell my pup felt comfortable and well cared for. Jaden kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Thank you so much!

Ayla was amazing!! She watched my dog (Morty) for 4 nights and did a great job. She sent updates throughout the days and went out of the way to get my dog some chicken when he was feeling great. She left my house very tidy and Morty very happy. I highly recommend her!

Sydney was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to my pets’ needs. I felt 100% confident leaving my animals in her care — and they absolutely loved her! She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She didn’t just stop at feeding and walking — Sydney went the extra mile with cuddles, playtime, and making sure each of my pets felt loved and comfortable. It was clear she truly cared about them as if they were her own. Not only did she take phenomenal care of my animals, but she also looked after my home with the utmost respect. I came back to a clean, well-kept space and happy pets

Michele was amazing. She gave my puppy Lila a grand adventure while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to keep me informed. I know my pup was in great hands and looked so happy in all of her pictures. I’m so lucky to have found Michele to house and dog sit for me, she made it less stressful and easy! Will definitely use her again!

Mia sent me photos throughout and the house was left nice and clean. I would definitely recommend her!

Paige & Nathan were absolutely wonderful house sitters for our two golden retrievers, Parker and Jackson! They were communicative, respectful of our home, and most importantly, gave our pups so much love and attention. We came home to two very happy dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable sitters!

Lily was awesome with Enzo! She kept us very informed with photos and updates and I knew he was in good hands! Will definitely use her again!

Nusa was an amazing pet and house sitter while we were gone! She took such good care of my babies and even did some extra cleaning around the house! She sent pictures every day, which we loved and we were so assured that our pets were getting the best care!

As always Ronnie has been amazing! I will not book with anyone else because my babies are always happy when I get home. Ronnie goes over and above and sends updates everyday throughout the day!

I had a wonderful experience with Ketah! She was incredibly kind, respectful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the start, I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Mila was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of love and attention while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it meant a lot to see how comfortable and content my pup was. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ketah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Emrick is AMAZING. Keeps us updated and takes great care of our two large dogs (and house!) while we’re out of town. We’re so lucky to have her.

We had a great experience with Amanda staying at our house to care for our dog while traveling! She was attentive to Lizzys needs, communicative, and respectful of our home. You can tell she loves caring for animals! We will definitely reach out for future needs!

Sydnee was great! She was really communicative, very patient with both of my dogs, and left the house looking great when she left. I would absolutely recommend Sydnee for anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!

Ariana did a great job of watching my dogs and taking care of my home! All of the things I asked of her, brining in packages and mail, filing up pool, etc on top of taking care of the dogs- she did it all. She also sent pictures and was very responsive to texts. Will definitely rebook!
