“Jennifer gave our dog Zoey the care and attention she needs while we were out of town. She was communicative and always got the best pics on her check ins.”
“Trustworthy, a very hard worker and very, very good with animals. Will book again. Honest, assertive and good communication. I am very PLEASED!”
“I’ve been using rover for a few years now and Johnny is the absolute best I’ve ever worked with. So kind, responsive, and just overall great with my pups. Wish I could give 10 stars.”
“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Olivia was great with my dog Penny, she is very sweet. She was willing to do what was needed to get her to take her medicine when not feeling good. She also took the time to come meet us before the weekend walks. Would definitely use her again.”
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.
“Mary was AMAZING! She was able to fit me in last minute, was extremely responsive, on time, and took amazing care of my pets. We will be using her for any future drop ins!”
About: I have been a sitter for neighborhood dogs (from puppies to seniors) for over 5 years now. I have also had experience with shy dogs that are not always energetic and willing to be patted but with time those dogs have also been amazing to work with. I owned a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 14 years (who passed away from old age), whom I loved dearly. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I wake up early to go swimming every morning but am otherwise available for daytime and afternoon walks and doggy daycare. I live close to Riverwalk which is a great place for walks with your furry friend. I am always cautious about the heat during the summer when walking dogs so I will always bring a water bottle on our walks.
“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Zoey while we were out of town. She met with her before we left and Zoey loved her. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Emma was great! She's responsive and did very well with my kitty. I will definitely give her a call in the future when the need arises. Highly recommend!”
“Summer took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away on a holiday weekend. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs.”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing! She kept us extremely well updated on our pet and even brought him a treat one day. We also had some maintenance issues while she was pet sitting and she did a great job communicating and keeping us in the loop.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole including three of my own, all rescues, so I have a special place in my heart (and skill set) for dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I treat all dogs like they are my own and am always happy to keep owners updated with texts, photos, and check-ins! Im a student and the University of Tampa, but since its summer, my schedule is open and flexible. Even during the school year, I make time for pet care because I love being around animals. I always make sure that the animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable with me—whether we are spending time in a familiar space or they are staying with me. I care for other people’s pets as I care for my own.
“Natasha did a great job taking care of our Gracie, she posted pictures and updated us with her visits”
“Molly has been a pleasure to work with. She sends great details and photos of our Lilo while we're away.”
About: I’ve grown up with my dog as my best friend along with being my neighbors go-to dog sitter for weeks on end. I’m great about giving them all the time and affection they need while the owner is away!:) I am a current Surgical Technologist student/part time worker. I have a very flexible schedule with most of my days after 2 being free, or some mornings off! I live in a duplex with a little yard along with a great neighborhood for long walks around Davis Island. I’ve grown up caring for pets and always love having them around.
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.
“Rylie was amazing! My fiancé and I are so thankful we had her to check in on our cats while we were far across the country. We were both so anxious about leaving the cats without someone staying in the home with them and Rylie’s check-ins put us at ease. She treated them so well and even our shy girl took to her. You can tell Rylie truly loves animals and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Bekah did wonderful with my pup! Was very attentive to him and his needs. She also left a detailed note and took lots of pictures. Would definitely book her again! :)”
About: Hi there! Having a senior dog myself, I know how hard it can be to find someone to take care of your pet while away. I hope to provide peace of mind while you’re away! I am working from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I will do my best to make anything work for you and your pet! I have a sweet, tolerant senior dog to keep your pet company. If you typically crate your pup, we have plenty of space to set up and help them feel at home. If not, our dog is left out when we leave but I will always make sure the dogs are in separate parts of the house to ensure everyone is safe.

17. Mariah G.
“Mariah has taken care of my 85-pound Old English Bulldog many times over the past three years—everything from weekend overnights to weekday walks—and she’s been amazing every time. She treats dogs like they’re her own, with so much love and attention, and she’s strong enough to handle my big pup with no problem. I always come home to a clean and tidy house, which really shows how respectful and reliable she is when staying over. I’d trust her with my dog again and again without a doubt.”
