About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.

“5 stars are not enough! Nusa needs 100 stars!! She went over and beyond for me and Phoenix. I got continual pupdates about my little guy which made my time away from him less stressful. During my search for someone to care for Phoenix I had lot of questions. This was my first time using the Rover app, and Nusa took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. We meet the day before I left to do a meet and greet with Phoenix, and he took to her instantly. Phoenix had an amazing time with Nusa, while I enjoyed a much needed vacation. She asked what a typical day was like for him to ensure his routine was not interrupted. I loved getting videos and pictures of him having a great time!! If you are anything like me your dog means the world to you, and you consider them your child. Nusa took that to heart and cared for my boy with the love she has for her own dogs. Nusa is the absolute BEST!!!”


“Sarah and Alvin took such good care of our puppy while we were gone. We had such peace of mind knowing that not only was our baby taken care of, but our house was safe while we were gone. We will definitely use Sarah and Alvin again!”


“Jordan was fantastic! She arrived promptly and sent us photos of the pups to let us know she was there and the pups were well :). She continued to send us photos (and she got some great shots) in a way that was comforting and just the right amount. The house was in great shape when we got home. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were in their own environment. We are all looking forward to our next opportunity to have Jordan do a drop in visit or stay when we travel.”


“Mariana was great with our dogs while house sitting over the weekend. She sent lots of photos and great updates throughout weekend. Highly recommended!”


“Elizabeth loved in Orion and was great with communication. My home was clean and my cat happy on my return. Elizabeth is courteous, kind, upbeat, and professional. I’m super happy to be home, but Elizabeth made my stressful trip a tad less stressful because I knew my fur baby was well taken care of. Thank you!”


“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.”


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


“Rhoda was wonderful with my boy Benny! He clearly was content and happy, she communicated with texts & photos regularly & took great care of all while house sitting. Will definitely request her again!”


“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!”


“Victoria did a great job looking after our 4 high stress pups and our home while we were gone. I would definitely book again and recommend to others.”


“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!”


“Laura took care of our senior dog that required a lot of patience and love. She was truly fantastic. Keeping us updated and being so punctual. Our baby Drogo enjoyed her company.”


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: 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.

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


“Danielle eased my mind while we were away for a 4 day cruise. She was very warm, friendly and highly communicative throughout our time away. Bean absolutely adores her and her chihuahua Murphy! Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring D again in the future. Thank you so much!!”


“It was our first time using Rover, and we will definitely use it again, and will want Rebecca. She sent us pictures of the puppies and left a nice note on how they did. It use to be stressful trying to find someone to watch 3 dogs at our house, but not anymore. Rebecca rocks, and will be a permanent fixture when we leave for the night. Charlee, Daisy and Lincoln say thank you.”


“Molly was amazing! She was our first non-family member to watch our puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. It was clear our pup was in great hands and loved being with her. We’ll absolutely use Molly again in the future!”


About: I have experience with multi-dog households, senior dogs, and puppies. I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom — if my dog even sneezes twice she’s going to the vet. I work a full-time hybrid job and I’m at work between the hours of 8:30-4:30 pm. I can work evenings and do overnight stays during the week. On weekends, I’m available all day. I’m familiar with crate training, fenced and unfenced yards, leash training and dog walking. I grew up with German shepherds and I currently own a mini Aussie. I have a crossbody, hands free leash but I have also used retractable leashes and 4-6’ leashes. I’ve found 2 stray dogs in the past and successfully brought them to their owners. I also found a pet tortoise one time and cared for him for two days before finding the owner. I’ve administered medication to my own dogs and other people’s dogs before.

Ybor City pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

While it's hard to leave our pets behind, it's always comforting knowing Jen is giving them good care and attention.

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!

I booked Michele for an extended house & dog sitting service. Both my home and pup were in perfect condition when I got home :) she sent me multiple photos a day (probably bc she knew I was nervous!) and was very communicative. I’ll be booking Michele for all my future needs for my dog!

Laura took care of our senior dog that required a lot of patience and love. She was truly fantastic. Keeping us updated and being so punctual. Our baby Drogo enjoyed her company.

Molly was incredible! She communicated so well, took such great care of our very particular animals and our house! We feel really lucky we found here and will absolutely use her again and again as a sitter as long as she’s available!

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!

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!

Sydney is always so communicative and caring of our little pup. Our dog is older and is a bit more hands on these days, she is great in being patient and taking good care of him.

Christina is always the best! We have no worries when our dog is with her. In fact, we know our dog is loving her own vacation :)

Lexi did a great job house sitting and looking after Maple and Willow. She treated the pups with love and respected our home. We’d highly recommend Lexi☺️
