About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

About: As a former veterinary assistant and kennel technician, I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, each with their own unique temperaments and personalities. This, combined with my previous experience as a dog sitter, makes me confident in my ability to care for any furry friend I have the pleasure of meeting. In addition, I grew up always having lots of dogs, which has instilled in me a deep love and compassion towards them! I am currently working part-time, allowing me to be flexible in the days and times I am available to care for your pet. Weekends work best for me, but I also available most week days as well! I do work 10pm-2:30am Monday-Friday just to note that schedule for overnights. Other than that, I’d be happy to accommodate any schedule that best suits you! When caring for pets in a clients home, I always make sure to adhere to the instructions the owner has given me regarding their pet/pets. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a preferred food type, daily walks around the neighborhood or in the backyard, or administering medications. I make it a priority to ensure that everything is properly taken care of while also giving the pet plenty love and affection to help them feel more comfortable and at ease in their owner’s absence.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes ranging from mini Schnauzers to Dobermans. I am an athletic person, so jogging for 15 minutes is my kind of walk. I take frequent walks outside with my dog to Saladino and Davis Parks. I bathe my own pup at home in the bath tub with extra carefulness and love- so even if your pet doesn’t like baths, I will be patient and gentle. I am a senior in Highschool and work a part time job. Because I have all of my graduation credits and do some school work from home, I leave school 3 periods early, leaving me with more time to care for your furry families. I have a fenced yard and a mini schnauzer at home. My dog can be at my house or my dad’s house depending on if your pet enjoys pup-company or prefers human friends. I love long evening walks to Davis park about 7 minutes from my house, so me and your pup can get some fresh air every day!

About: I'm that person at the party that's busy socializing with the pets rather than the people. I currently have 3 dogs (2 aussies and a lab mix) and grew up always having a minimum of 2 cats in the house from birth through college. Over the years I've had opportunities to pet sit for friends and family, however, now that I work from home, this past year has been filled with a lot of wonderful pet sitting for friends, including drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for a week or more at a time. While I have started gravitating more towards dogs as an adult, cats will always have a special place in my heart. I know what it's like to be away from home and missing your furry friend(s), so I'm honored to be there to love on and care for your pets when you're not able to. I work from home and have a great deal of flexibility with my schedule. Really most days of the week at whatever time you need, I can most likely make it happen. I will treat your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I always provide daily updates with pictures, morning and evening, so you can be assured that your pets are in good hands. Any instructions given to me will be followed. Please write/type out any instructions in your pet’s care info or provide it written to me at the time of booking. Thank you! I work remotely from (9am-5pm on Monday-Friday), so can be relatively flexible during the weekdays. I can be completely available on weekends with advanced notice. I have 3 dogs at home, so I prefer to offer services outside my own home. I can do drop ins, walks, or overnight stays with your pet, whatever is most comfortable for you and your situation.

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable. Safety & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always a top priority in my home. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.

She has such a fun and positive energy about her, and I would love for her to take care of Tex again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Brandon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Brandon is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 7,297 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Brandon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Brandon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Brandon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brandon. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
