About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
“Rachel is great at walking my dog Bob while I’m at the office. She keeps me in the loop on how the walks go and sends photos. Bob feels comfortable with her and she’s accommodating even when he’s being difficult.”
“I went out of town for work and contacted Nicole the day before. She was extremely friendly and flexible with her time. She met myself and Denver prior to my trip to introduce herself and meet the pup! Excellent service. I greatly appreciate her time and service while I was away. Thank you, Nicole!”
“Sherri did a wonderful job with our Pico. She was great at communicating his status and any anomalies. He seemed very happy when we got home and not anxious. Would definitely hire Sherri again.”
“Leroy and Reina are absolutely amazing! They were so gentle and loving with my fur baby, they even bathed her while we were away. My Noel absolutely loves them, she made new best friends! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone - I will be booking them over and over again!”
About: 3 things you should know about me 🐾 1. I’ll follow your instructions to a T — and I’ll over-communicate! I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so you can expect plenty of updates, pictures, and check-ins about your pet. 📸 2. Your pet will get LOTS of love and attention. ❤️ I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. Whether that means playtime, cuddles, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m there for them! 3. Your booking also helps me spoil my own baby, Peanut! 🐶 Peanut needs toys and treats too, after all. 😂 So please let me be your pet’s new favorite aunt — I’ll treat them like one of my own! 🐾💕 I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits. I can plan visits around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. Since I do online school, I am organized with my time and can communicate clearly about availability and visit updates. I will care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and house rules. I will make sure doors, gates, crates, and feeding areas are secure before I leave. I also have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away

“Victor and Tracy were great with my two big dogs over a span of 4 days with scheduled walks. They asked questions to get to know the dogs and communicated well for each walk. I will definitely use them again for services.”

“Madison has taken great care of Franky. He's had a tough time with me no longer working from home, but Madison's visits have been very helpful for him. She has gone above and beyond in making sure he is comfortable on his walks. Could not recommend Madison highly enough!”
About: 🐾 Your dog will be treated like family from the moment they arrive. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend with someone else, which is why I make it my mission to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel right at home. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes, and I genuinely love every minute of it. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, exploring the yard, or getting plenty of belly rubs and attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member, send me a message and let’s see if we’re the perfect match! I work from home, which means your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Like any family, I occasionally step out for errands or appointments. If your dog experiences separation anxiety or isn’t comfortable being left alone for short periods, I kindly ask that you provide a crate or let me know their specific needs in advance so we can ensure they stay safe and comfortable while I’m away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for both dogs and cats, and I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. For dogs staying in my home, I provide frequent, structured potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs are taken on regular walks every 2–3 hours and again about 40 minutes after meals to keep them comfortable, active, and on a healthy routine. My home has an open-concept layout, and all pets remain safely on the downstairs level with a baby gate blocking access to the stairs, creating a secure environment where they can relax and play under supervision. For cats, I provide a calm, low-stress environment that respects their unique personalities and routines. Whether they’re playful or prefer their own space, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving them the attention they need on their terms. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet—and to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
“We cannot say enough about how awesome Amanda is! She is so sweet!! She came twice a day to walk my mom's papillon for a good halfhour each time and little Courtney just loves Amanda! As I live out of town, finding Amanda to walk my mom's pupper was an absolute godsend!! As I'm the one with the River app, I had great peace of mind getting the daily updates that she was picking up and returning little Courtney and the daily pics were nice to get too! We will definitely rebook with Amanda anytime we need her because of the great care she took of Courtney.”
About: My entire life I've had pets. I am experienced with Seniors and pets going through or recovering from heart worm. I am able to administer medicine. I will walk, play, or just let them out in the yard. There is isn’t a dog or cat that I don’t love. I currently work from home and can give many walks and lots of attention. Weekends are an option also. I can come to your home and sometimes spend the night. I have a dog park in my neighborhood and love to go for long walks. I have a 7 year old dog and 12 year old cat.
“I recently hired Nicole to take care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and understand their needs. Nicole is always punctual, reliable, and communicates regularly with updates and photos from their walks. My dog absolutely adores them and comes back happy and tired after each session, which speaks volumes about the care and attention given. The walks are tailored to my dog’s energy level, ensuring he gets the exercise he needs. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
About: Over the years I have taken care of all sorts of dog breeds. Basset hounds, Labrador retrievers, English bulldogs, Siberian huskies, American Staffordshire terriers, Yorkshire terriers, German Shepards, Australian Shepard’s, while currently being a dog mom for an Australian shepherd myself. I have received great hands-on experience from 4 years of vet-assisting classes, volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, and have been pet sitting and walking for over 8 years, giving me exceptional experience. I believe that animals are family and should be treated as such. Animals deserve all the love in the world and I am more than happy to provide care and TLC for your pets! I am currently working 5 days out of the week. I will be available for drop ins or walks preferably in the evening times on week days. I have most flexibility on the weekends. I provide drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I will make sure your pet(s) receive their food and water as well as ensure they have enough time to use the bathroom outside. When walking, I make sure that if the pavement is too to hot to walk on, to utilize grassy and shady areas for the dog to walk on.

We are delighted with and so grateful to Stacey! It was our first time using this service, and we were a bit nervous, but she exceeded all expectations. Stacey is a true professional! She was punctual, patient (our dog can be grumpy), affectionate, and—above all—respectful; she followed all instructions, sent us plenty of photos, and put our minds at ease. We are certain that Stacey will be our go-to person whenever we need someone to look after our Sansa, so don't hesitate to choose her for your own fur babies. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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 Tampa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Tampa. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
