About: For me, the joys of pet ownership came a little later in life. I grew up in a home with my parents and 3 older brothers. My mom deduced that a house with four boys and a grown man didn't need any more animals! In the 90s, I worked with the local Humane Society and was overwhelmed by love and empathy that I felt for the animals waiting for adoption. Since then, I've jumped at any chance to walk or care for the pets of my friends and family. There's nothing like the feeling I get when a shy or frightened animal lets its guard down and begins to trust. It melts my heart! My wife and I currently live with Molly Mae. She's a gorgeous 14 year old Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound mix and she's a walking, licking, mood-lifting machine! I’m currently creating artwork from my home studio where I can keep my Molly Mae with me all day. I make my own hours and can respond to pet sitting calls and bookings any time of day. I live in a quiet, gated community which is ideal for walking dogs safely. The surrounding neighborhoods are quiet with very little traffic. I have also had many mural jobs where I have been granted access to client’s homes and businesses and have earned a solid trustworthy reputation.

About: I have always had a pet my entire life. As a child, our family always had a cat. As an adult, I have never been without a cat or two and a dog in our family home. I retired from teaching music in 2022. I started walking dogs at two different animal shelters (one in Upper Michigan and one in Palm Harbor). My most favorite childhood Christmas memory was the year I got a kitten for Christmas. We returned from Christmas Eve service to my grandparents home. Waiting for me was an adorable gray kitten with a pink bow. I named him Flower. He was my very first pet. I have a heart full of love for cats and dogs. I know leaving your fur babies can be very stressful. I'm here to make that less stressful for you. I look forward to meeting you. I'm retired. I have plenty of time in my schedule to stop by and see your fur baby when you can't be around. While I have a few things on my schedule each week, I'm mostly free and can be very accommodating. I am available to come to your home and look in on your pet. I can feed/water, play, walk, give lots of pets, and love your fur baby when you're not available.

About: Being a Registered Nurse, I know how important it is to care for patients. However, pets need the same caring environment that a patient gets. I am a genuine, nurturing, pet lover of any animal. Our pet(s) are not only a "furry" animal in our homes, they are what bonds families together and bring joy to each and every one of us. I have over 10 personal years of caring for pets. I've had dogs from the size of a yorkie to a great dane, cats, & fishes. There is no stereotyping here whether you are a fish, cat, bird, dog and etc. I am open to walk ins and walking your pet(s). I am also trained at administering medications (no injections). Each and everyone of our pets deserves to have unconditional support, care and love. Our pets are family and not just a part of the family. I work full-time with a rotating schedule, so I’m most available on weekends and one weekday each week. Feel free to reach out—I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible! I understand following detailed instructions on how to care for your pet(s) is key. I am strict with maintaining proper exercise and diet with my own dog to provide longevity, therefore that same respect will be given to your pet(s).

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

About: I have a passion for all types of dogs and cats. I have experience with both small and large dogs, and all ages as well. I will care for your dog or cat like they are my own. I recently lost my 17 year old mini poodle, and would enjoy the fun and joy that pets bring. She was a rescue, and I have worked with a couple of Rescue Groups from my hometown in Philly. I live in Palm Harbor and have watched dogs in many local areas including Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Clearwater and Trinity. I would enjoy long walks (or short walks if they prefer) with your dog, in the beautiful Florida sunshine. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

“Bryce was great. First of all, he accepted my last-minute request. Then when my dog got tired of walking outside, he stayed back for the remainder of the time to play with her. I can tell she had a great time because of the after pictures of her panting in her crate showing that she had a great time. Would definitely book him again.”

I also maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, keeping their routines as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to help pets feel secure and comfortable. This includes feeding at their usual times, walking or play sessions, cleaning litter boxes or cages, refreshing water, administering medications if needed, and offering companionship and affection.

About: I have worked with countless Canines for over 10 years; at dog shelters, training facilites, daycares and competitions. I am proficient at administering medications and working with dogs who have health and/or behavioral issues. My schedule is flexible which allows me to give your pup my undivided attention. My daily routine consists of playing, training and bonding with these dogs for a happier and fuller life. I've had dogs in my life since birth so I understand the commitment and dedication it takes working with k9s. I've also worked side by side with trainers, handlers and other professionals that have taught me how to better understand Canine behavior etc. To me, dogs are like toddlers, it's important to always know what they're doing. They need love, care and attention to thrive mentally and physically.

About: A home is not complete without a dog/cat...or three was the motto in my house growing up. I've taken care of dogs and cats since I could walk and love being with them. I am the person who greets the animal first when I go to a friend's house and who can be found chilling with the furry tenants of the house during parties. I am experienced with senior dogs and puppies alike! I currently work full-time for the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, but am available on weekends and during the late afternoon / evening hours on weekdays. I am extremely conscientious when it comes to making sure your pet is safe when inside your home! No accidental door or gate escapes on my watch!

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and would be happy to help take care of yours! I am comfortable with small, medium, large, and extra large sized dogs of all ages and have experience walking and pet sitting all sizes. I am an active person and thoroughly enjoy walking/swimming with dogs as well! My family raises seeing eye dogs for the blind, and working with such wonderful animals is a passion of mine. I understand that leaving a family member at home while you’re away can be difficult for both you and your dog, so I hope to alleviate some of that stress for you. Please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home and have a fenced yard! I can take frequent potty breaks and/or walks, and have the flexibility to be attentive to your pets needs throughout the day. I have a friendly black lab who loves everyone to keep your fur baby company. I also have a pool if your pup likes to swim!

About: Hi there! I go by Kate. I’ve had dogs my entire life, but my experience really began when I helped raise and train a guide dog puppy in my freshman year of college. Since then, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends and won over even the most stranger-averse of dogs. I work part-time freelance, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pet. I can be there any time and day of the week. Afternoons are preferred, but if you need mornings, I’ll be there! I know it takes a lot of trust to let someone care for your pet, so I will treat your home and fur baby with the utmost care and respect. I’ll follow your rules and instructions absolutely to the letter.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Palm Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Palm Harbor is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 6,190 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Palm Harbor. 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 Palm Harbor. 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 Palm Harbor 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 Palm Harbor. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
