About: I’m studying to be an engineer and my dad has a joke that i’m coming back as a veterinarian which says a lot. Unconditional love is what dogs have and the only thing you can do with it is to give some right back to them. I love going on walks and runs even without dogs, so it’s a perfect match. I’m also pretty good at tug of war, i might let your dog win a few times. I’m currently a student at Brazosport College with a lot of free time between classes and i’m very flexible as far as my schedule goes. I’m always eating at home and can unsure your dog gets a meal too. I do have a medium sized crate along with some treats of my own. I have a yard a little over an acre with a fenced in yard as well. As stated though, I love going on walks and letting them explore the campus, and other people love giving out pets and scratches.

“Jeanette is AMAZING! She is such a great communicator! So sweet with my pup and just amazing over all! I couldn’t be happier with someone like her walking my pup! She is trust worthy, sweet, and kind.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic dogs and those who need a little extra patience. 🐶 I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I went to school to be a veterinarian so it is something I truly love.💕 I also have a car, so I’m flexible and able to travel, and I’m great with following specific care instructions and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I keep a very flexible schedule so I can be available when pet parents need me most. I’m open for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekends. Since I plan my days around bookings (and this is my only job), I’m able to give pets consistent attention and not rush through visits or walks. I also try to be accommodating with last-minute requests whenever possible. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, making sure pets are secure, hydrated, and never put in unsafe situations. I also keep spaces clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. (exactly what I would want for my own pet!) I believe communication is important, so I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in the best hands!
“Tamanda is awesome! My dog was so happy to see her every day 😊 She did a great job taking care of him while we were traveling. I highly recommend her, and we’re looking forward to seeing her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Columbia. 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 your East Columbia. 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 East Columbia 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 East Columbia. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
