“Christian was wonderful! Very friendly and patient with our dogs upon meeting them. Was able to help us with last minute walking needs. We will definitely continue to use his services and would absolutely recommend to others 😄”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and smaller breeds. I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs and those who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and happy. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for turtles and am happy to look after other small pets, including fish, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs during drop-in visits. I understand that each pet has unique routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions to ensure they receive the same loving care they’re used to at home. As a former elementary school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with kindness and respect, communicate regularly, and send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy building consistent routines with pets and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and even last-minute requests. My goal is to provide dependable care so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide the same loving care they’re used to receiving. During each visit or walk, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection based on their individual personality and needs. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with you right away if I notice anything concerning. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can feel connected and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return.
“We have loved working with Jordan! She really goes the extra mile when taking care of my pup. He is typically timid with new walkers but she knows exactly how to make him comfortable. They even play a hide and seek game with treats that he loves! It really puts my mind at ease while working knowing that she’s going to be caring for him. Also wonderful communicating when she will be getting there and all details of the visit.”
“Chris stepped in and really helped me out. He's is excellent with dogs! My Willie really liked him. I highly recommend him. I will use him again when the need arises. Very prompt and professional.”
“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”
“Jen is amazing. She is reliable, dependable, a great communicator, and puts us at ease with our fur baby while we are away. She is so trustworthy and our fur baby loves her! I highly recommend Jen!!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals all my life, specifically dogs. My fiance and I both adore them so we team up sometimes to take care of your pets. When we take care of your animals, we will treat them as if they are our own. I’ve had about 5-8 years of job experience with dogs. I created my own dog walking service my senior year of high school, and we have two of our own. Charlie the pitbull and Bindi a mixed Shepard. You can see in the photos. Owning your own dog doesn’t make you an expert of course, but I’m comfortable with all types of breeds and sizes. That’s important to us when working with animals in general. We want your fur babies to feel comfortable and safe while you are away! I work for a contractor, and in turn, make my own schedule. It should be pretty easy to make accommodations for you and your pups. Every animal I come in contact with, I always show love. I show trust & care for them in every aspect. Safety is my first priority. Even if it’s not my own.
“Amazing peace of mind having Annaliese check in on my two dogs. I have shibas and they can be a little cautious with new people, but they warmed right up to her! She was helpful with a last minute booking I needed and was on time! Great sitter, i’d work with her again and recommend her to my pet parent friends!”
“Allison was great! Super friendly and communicative. My plans changed but she was super flexible and understanding and she was great with my hyper puppy. We would definitely have her back!”
About: Hi, I'm Rob. I've taken care of my own four-legged kids for the past 20+ years, and I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I'll treat your fur-baby like my own. I recently started volunteering at the Tampa Bay Humane Society, where I've spent time walking dogs and working the Adoption Desk getting to know shelter dogs and helping them find their forever homes. It's honestly one of my favorite parts of the week. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and would love the chance to help take care of yours. For groups of 3+ dogs, please reach out beforehand so we can chat about logistics. As a new provider on Rover, I'm currently offering introductory pricing to new clients. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your dog's care and give them the attention they deserve. I know how much our pets love their walks and visits from their favorite humans, and I'll make sure your baby gets all the love, exercise, and joy they need each day. I'm generally available for visits and walks between 6am-3pm daily excluding Sundays. For groups of 3+ dogs, please reach out beforehand so we can chat about logistics. I also believe it's important for you and your dog to feel completely comfortable with me, so I'm happy to offer a complimentary first visit...just let me know, and we'll make sure it's the right fit for everyone. Our dog is our child and the most important person in our lives. He gets three walks a day, including an early morning mile walk before the heat kicks in. He has a fenced in backyard to explore, lounge and chase the squirrels. He is treated like a king at our house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
“Joycemar treats Heidi like she’s her own baby. Heidi is always so happy to see her! She spoils her so much and gives her all the love and attention she needs when I’m working my 12 hour shifts 🥰”
About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
“Patrick was amazing. I recently had surgery and was unable to walk my dog (pretty much my child) and Patrick was not only communicative, he was kind and helpful. My dog was always excited to see him. Thanks again Patrick!! I appreciate your help.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown to really enjoy caring for cats as well. I have a bunny of my own, so I understand how important it is to give pets daily attention, patience, and love. I’m known by friends and family for being great with animals, and I’ve even been recommended to work at a grooming and dog care store. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits when your pets need them most. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or some evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I tailor my visits to fit their needs—and your schedule! I make sure they’re always supervised, have plenty of water and comfort, and get lots of love and attention. Your pets will have fun and feel cared for while you’re away, so you can return knowing they’re happy and safe!
“I have so many other walkers , I can’t find the words to describe how amazing Karla is. Always reliable, willing to always help . I’m extremely grateful, impressed with her dedication and professionalism.”
“This is the second time Ashley has taken care of my pupper. The first time I employed her services, my pupper had developed gastroenteritis right before I was scheduled to go out of town. She kept me well informed on his progress and was very knowledgeable on at home treatment which resolved the issue shortly after I returned home. I will continue having Ashley take care of my sweet boy! Thank you Ashley!”

Working with Jennifer has been such a great experience! She is reliable, communicative, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting plenty of attention and exercise. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.
David was absolutely excellent both professional and personable and my dog Cody loves him. He is the best that I have ever had on rover.com We appreciate him and highly recommend him to Everyone! He also very generously helped me with a few tasks, Clean Cody’s dog water dish and filled it back up and he took my garbage out So highly impressed with him! I was recently attacked by a dog and had surgery and can’t walk for a few months, so everything that he has done has been a wonderful added touch, his kindness & generosity has touched my heart. David is definitely a wonderful man, reliable, responsible, respectful, and many other great traits . Definitely a pleasure to meet him & his wonderful self.

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 your Carrollwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Carrollwood.

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 Carrollwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
