About: I volunteer at my local St Pete animal shelter where I walk dogs, groom cats, and provide any help they need! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently own two cats I have vet med experience where I’ve shadowed multiple vet surgeries! Comfortable for all standard cat related tasks like cleaning litter boxes, checking for/cleaning hairballs is usually a must and who can forget to get some play time in as well! They may be spoiled with treats as well. I work hybrid Monday through Friday. I do not travel for the holidays besides Christmas. I am always going to try my best to adjust my schedule for us to coordinate :) I do not let my cats go outside and I make sure to always keep dogs on their leash and constantly scan the area for safety

About: Hi There! I'm Hadley, I have been working with dogs since I was a young girl both as a job and raising my own. I have also volunteered at the PWC Animal Shelter and had a great experience there taking care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I understand the importance of caring for a dog based on its breed, medical needs and temperament. I do have a young Australian shepherd at home, she is very loving and gets along great with other dogs. However, she does have a lot of energy so it’s important that your dog would be comfortable with her! A little about my care: •I love capturing pups at their best and promise to send you as many pics as you want! •Dogs new to each other are supervised at all times when together (if I’m at work or running errands they will be separated by different bedrooms, kennels, sides of baby gates). •All dogs eat separately regardless of food aggression or lack of. •I have plenty of toys but if one dog exhibits aggression, all toys are put away unless dog is alone with toy. •Over night dogs sleep wherever is “normal” to them: crate, free roam, my bed, etc. •I require that all dogs are up to date on vaccinations and have not had any ticks or fleas in the past 30 days. Thank you for your willingness to maintain a safe environment! I work full time from home during the week but have an alternate schedule with my significant other. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours. I always make sure to keep an eye out. Your dog will never be left alone. When outside or on walks your dog will always be leashed!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 and grown up with them since I was born. I have walked and dog sat for multiple neighbors, friends, and family members. I’m a recent college graduate who has just moved back in with my parents. While searching for my next adventure, I wanted to work with any kind of animal! I give as much attention and love as I can to my dog. I allow him to sleep in my bed with me at night so he’s not lonely. Due to a lack of backyard, my parents and I take him on walks/outside three times a day and feed him dry and wet food two times a day.

About: I have a very flexible schedule, live a very active lifestyle, and LOVE spending time outdoors. If your dog enjoys long walks, exploring, and getting plenty of exercise, we'll get along great! And if they just want some extra love and attention I'm all for that too! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting all the love and attention they deserve. I'll make sure you receive plenty of photos and videos updates along the way! I work from home and have an incredibly flexible schedule, allowing me to tailor my day around your dog’s needs! Whether that means extra walks, frequent potty breaks, playtime, or simply having someone around for companionship I’m happy to accommodate. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care throughout the day! Nothing is more important than your pet’s safety and comfort! I take the time to understand each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and will never put your pet in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation. I’ll treat your pet like my own little Finley and keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. For family dog, friends, and of course myself. I always have fun taking them for a walk, playing fetch, interactive games for cats, giving them treats, snuggles, cuddles and lots of love. And I’m excited to meet my next puppy/kitten friend. I’m currently working full time. Any drop in visit after 6:30pm on some weekdays and anytime on weekends. * If you are around St. Pete Downtown/Central Oak Park area and need any drop in visit or a walk during the week before 6:30PM, I’m open to chat since I have a free hour during the day. * I live in an apartment complex. There is, what I called, a florida room which is an open spare room with plenty of space to make it comfortable for your pet.

About: Hello- I have had animals all my life. Mostly dogs, but cats, birds, hamsters too, to name a few. I love them all! I currently have 2 small, very friendly dogs- 5 and 6 years old, about 12 pounds each. They are friendly and playful and love having company. I live in a condo on the first floor, and we have lots of green space and a fenced in dog park. My dogs and I walk every few hours. I recently retired as a teacher and am home full time. I can host smaller dogs, and I take only one family at a time, up to 2 dogs. I will also do drop ins at your home within 5 miles of Gandy in St. Pete. We hope to meet you soon! Your animals will be well- cared for. I am not working outside the home. I am a recently retired teacher and am home 90 percent of the time! We would love to care for your fur baby. We take walks and I have a fully fenced yard. My two Havanese doggies love to host playmates over to play and snuggle. We walk our condo property a few times a day. I am home to walk the dogs anytime that is needed. We have lots of grassy areas at my complex and a big fenced in dog park in the back.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether we’re going for a morning walk, playing with their favorite toys, or enjoying a quiet afternoon together, I love making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building a routine around their individual needs. I’ll make time for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles while keeping their usual schedule as consistent as possible.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've always had at least one dog in my home and have consistently been their primary caretaker, so I'm very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping them happy, healthy, and well cared for. Throughout college, I also spent a lot of time dog sitting for others, gaining experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From little Yorkies to German Shepherds, I've owned and cared for a wide variety of dogs and understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind that they're in good hands! I own and operate a local gym, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule. I'm able to plan my day around the dogs in my care and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Having always had dogs of my own, caring for them is already a natural part of my everyday routine! I want every dog in my care to feel just as comfortable and loved as they do at home! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, so I always take the time to learn what works best for them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to accommodate their preferences. I make sure dogs have plenty of opportunities for exercise, bathroom breaks, attention, and downtime throughout the day. Safety is always a priority for me. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and comfort level, follow any feeding or care instructions provided, and make sure they're supervised appropriately. I also believe communication is important, so I'm happy to send regular photos and updates while you're away! My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like family.

About: Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine from a very young age. My passion led me to pursue a career in the veterinary field helping your furry family members feel better when they’re sick for the past 5 years. From tea cup chihuahuas to great danes, you name it, I have taken care of them and have done everything possible to make them feel at home at the vet clinic. Every pet has their own unique personality, therefore pet care is not a one size fits all and should be tailored to meet your furry family members needs. If your looking for a passionate animal lover for anywhere from walks to at home sitting (with or without medication administration) look no further because I might just be the perfect match for your pets needs. If you have any questions regarding accommodations for your furry family members feel free to reach out. My schedule varies weekly, so if you have a particular preference for time of walks feel free to reach out to verify availability. I am usually available for morning and evening walks. Afternoon walks depend on the weather due to the blazing Florida sun and breed of dog. For in house pet sitting services I tailor my commitments to help keep your furry family members schedule as routine as possible and give them the best possible care while you are away.

About: I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragons, you name it. I am the go-to to call for taking care of your beloved animal. I understand and will fulfill every little preference someone has when I handle their fur baby. What is most important is the animal and owner are happy and comfortable. I am currently studying for the Florida Bar! I just graduated law school in May. I am looking to do something I love and earn a few extra bucks while I am not able to work. I currently just have my 3 guinea pigs because my dog passed away last year and I miss being around them. I live in an area that has sidewalks and people constantly walk there dogs because it’s a safe environment. My apartment has a fenced in grassy area that I can utilize either trying to find the dog a playmate or making sure he’s separate if needed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gandy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gandy is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 7,300 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gandy. 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 Gandy. 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 Gandy 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 Gandy. On Rover:

  • 89% 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.
