About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, and love being around them! Long walks are never a problem with me and I’ll make sure your furry family member is happy, exercised, and well taken care of. I always have time during the mornings as I don’t leave for work until around 1:45pm. I’m typically done around 7pm-8:30pm so I’ve got time in the evenings to check up on them and get a nice long walk in before bed. I’m all about adapting to your pet’s routine. If there’s a certain structure to their day that they’re used to, I do my best to stick to and and replicate it so they’re comfortable and happy.

I work from home and I have good flexibility in my schedule- so I’d be happy to help you out during the work days or weekends! My house has a fenced in back yard and two great parks for long walks right by my house! My Golden Retriever Smiley loves to play! He has a blast with every dog he meets, he is a very sweet energetic pup. My boyfriend who lives with me also loves dogs just as much as i do!
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.

Ybor City pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Carley!! She came to meet Bernie before our trip, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout our vacation, she was incredibly responsive and sent detailed daily recaps with adorable photos. Her communication was excellent, we loved that she checked in whenever she had questions and we always felt Bernie was in the best hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We absolutely plan to use Carley again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!!
Emrick is the absolute BEST! She is kind, responsible and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are healthy and happy. Her communication is excellent with very detailed updates, which I greatly appreciate. As a bonus, my house is clean when I get home, which is not easy with my messy pets. I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my pets! Thanks, Emrick!!!
Emily is the absolute best! I just went to Europe - absolutely terrified she would bring up random BS that she couldn't walk Dallas etc. when I had no options to do anything when I was that far away She handled everything seamlessly! Book her immediately! Shes a college student thats on point!
Ashley did an incredible job dropping in on our two cats for a long trip! She made sure both of them were doing okay, fed them, made sure all their litter and water was okay, and spent plenty of time playing with them and sending us pictures! Even though we missed our cats while away, we were so happy to know that they were in great hands. I would highly recommend Ashley for drop in cat services!
