“Colton was wonderful walking our dogs multiple times a day as I recovered from surgery. He was always on-time, easy to communicate with and reliable. He was friendly with my dogs and my spoiled dogs were happy to have their walks and behaved themselves with Colton. Would definitely hire him again and already have.”
About: Hi there! My name is Jennifer , and caring for animals has been at the heart of my life for over 30 years. I've owned and loved both cats and dogs since 1993, and for the past 13 years, I've proudly served as the Cat Foster Coordinator for St. Francis Society Animal Rescue - five of those years as Vice President of the organization as well. During this time, i've personally fostered over 1100 kittens and cats and successfully placed them in loving forever homes. I've also fostered several dogs, and I care deeply for animals of all species, sizes, and personalities. In addition to daily care, I have extensive experience with medical needs. I can administer subcutaneous fluids, vaccines, oral and injectable medications, and have provided specialized care for two cats with megaesophagus. I've managed post-operative recover for animals after leg and tail amputations, eye enucleations, spay/neuters, and more. I'm confident and calm with both routine and complex care, and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and gentle handling. My goal as a pet sitter is simple: to treat your pets like I treat my own - with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether you have a playful pup, a shy senior, or a kitty with extra medical needs, i'm here to help you feel confident they're in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a central part of my daily life - it's not something I squeeze in , it's something I've built my schedule around. With years of experience caring for both my own animals and others', I've developed a routine that prioritizes timely feedings, walks, medications, and play or cuddle time. I'm used to mornings, afternoons, and evenings and am flexible based on each pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own environment, i respect their routines, space, and comfort. I follow all instructions carefully - from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walk routes. I provide companionship, keep everything clean and tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pets are safe and loved. I'm calm, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperaments, including shy cats and energetic dogs.
“Jayden is on time and so sweet with my boy, Diego. I have been booking with Jayden several times a week during school semester and it has been incredibly helpful to have her walk him. She is incredibly responsive and I 10/10 recommend her!”
About: I have three cats named Melee, Fresco and Libby. I’ve had gerbils, rabbits, fish, gecko, and a teacup poodle named Chip and a cat named Snowflake. I volunteered at Peggy Adams animal shelter and Humane Society. Currently I volunteer with owls nest sanctuary. I use to work at a vet office as a receptionist and Petco as a dog washer. Often I will petsit for friends and family. I work full time remote from home but have a very flexible work schedule and could spend the day at someone’s place while working or do a few visits daily if close by my home. I only able to do home visits as my kitties may not be happy if I brought a visitor over. I maybe able to do some overnights. Flexible during the week and most weekends.
“Heather and Craig have been wonderful with my dogs. They've been great with communication and are very professional. I fully trust them with my fur babies and highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for around seven years now. I have experience with dog walking and extended drop-ins. I love to bond with each pet I care for! I can care for your pet during both the weekdays and weekends! I can do drop-ins or walks in the afternoons for now. I’m almost on summer break, so I’ll be available more after May :) I will respect your routine and utilize the resources that are made available to me when caring for your pet! I will always keep the house picked up before leaving.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years, and I truly love getting to know each dog's unique needs. Whether an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing a slower pace, or a shy pup who needs a little extra patience, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I offer boarding in my home. I work remotely, so your pup will be treated with plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience providing drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love while you're away. I currently work from home so your fur baby will receive lots of attention. This also allows for more flexibility with your selected pick up and drop off times. I allow the dogs on couches and beds. (Unless you request otherwise). I have one very friendly 10 yr old dog. He is sweet, calm, and gentle.
“Wonderful pet pal. My Gabby is spending a bit more time with her now. I can see Gabby forming her relationship with Nikki. I'm a little jealous. Lol. She's still Mama's girl. But I really like seeing her trust someone other than me. Great pet pal!!!”
“Being last minute and not able to do meet and greet, Gabi did a wonderful job handling Lucy. Did not take long for Lucy to feel comfortable around her. Will be using Gabi again for sure.”
About: I’ve loved and taken care of all kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends often relied on me to check in and board pets while they were away. I have experience with cats, dogs (high drive breeds like Belgian Tervuren), and even reptiles! I’m currently available full-time for pet care, so I’ll have plenty of time to look after and focus on every pet! I’m available for boards Friday- Monday, and pick-ups/drop-offs after 4:30 pm. I have a fenced in patio and one friendly dog to keep your pet company, or separate if needed! There are many local parks I love to spend time at and a pool for pets to enjoy! Kitties will have their own safe and separate room for their enjoyment! I have a designated area for reptiles to accommodate enclosures and equipment. Every animal in my care will have their own safe place and care guide put together to ensure each member of your family is taken care of with all the love, effort, and attention they would receive at home.
About: I’ve always had pets in the home — dogs, cats and fish. I spent several years traveling abroad and haven’t had my own pet for about 10 years now, but I’ve been a sitter for dozens of furry friends during that time. I am a real estate investor and work mostly from home on my own schedule, following up on tenants payments and scheduling repairs. My schedule is very flexible. Most days I’ll visit 1 property in the area and am otherwise free. I know that your pets are like children, and I’ll follow your instructions to the letter. Feeding times, medicines and walk times/lengths will be just as you would do it yourself.
“I had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated, and my dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, and she exceeded all my expectations. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Highly recommend! Megan was so helpful especially when I had an unfortunate emergency to handle that changed the plans for my dog. She was very adaptive, understanding and made it a point to communicate with me consistently. I knew my dog was in good hands!”
About: I've had dogs since little and I love to be surrounded by them. Sometimes I've taken care of my friend's pups when they are away. I stay at home so I have plenty of time for my dog and to play with your pups! We love to take walks and play at parks. I live in a house with a fenced yard, close to parks, and with my super friendly dog that loves to make new friends, I can easily crate your dog if needed; however, they are allowed to stay at the sofa and bed.
About: I’ve had a dog almost my whole life. My family relied on me to feed, walk and clean our family pet. Recently lost my dog last year and looking to get my furry friend fix by loving on your pet! I work full time as a nurse and on my days off I love to stay active. Looking for a few pet friends who need walking and exercise! I have a large apartment with carpeted floors and a screened in patio. I also live with my boyfriend who is also a pet lover.
About: Hello! I have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Mostly cats, but I do have experience with small and medium sized dogs. I have one cat and live in a clean, safe, quiet and smoke-free home. I will care for your pet like my own and I am looking forward to doing so! I leave for work in the morning and come home in the late afternoon. I am home on weekends. I will make sure your pet is taken out, paid attention to, and fed at all needed times. I live in a clean, safe environment which includes a dog park and an indoor dog-washing station. I provide a comfortable, stable home for your pets needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs/cats personally for 20+ years whether it be my own pets or neighbors. Walk, bathe & medicate with lots of love to dole out. I am currently an empty nester and available to come to your location to care for your fur babies so they are comfortable from the sounds of a kennel. My schedule is flexible. My home is currently not available for home services as I have 6 cats but I am very willing and able to come to your home so your fur babies can stay in their environment and enjoy their creature comforts.
About: I've had dogs and cats a plenty and none of my own right now. I would love to meet and care for yours. I'm certainly new but confident to cause satisfaction. Starting a new job this upcoming week, that'll chew my 730am-530pm on weekdays surely but outside of that I am very available. If you make a request feel free to provide a quick report of the general location. I can support Tampa/TownNCountry/Clearwater/PinellasPark typically. I may or may not have full conversations with them. Now having gotten my initial sitting out of the way I think I'll say how I make sure the water and food is topped off. If they haven't finished their food I may not re-up it necessarily. I understand dogs need to smell you before things move along to gain familiarity. So I operate kinda slowly for them on that regard.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with dogs and cats as I currently have 2 english bulldogs. From taking walks, having playtime I ensure pets stay active, happy and engaged. I would love to meet your pet! I am currently working part time in our business and my kids are now 15,20,22 so I’m wanting to fill the extra time in my day with a happy pup or kitty! We live in a neighborhood with townhomes and businesses. I have to walk our dogs 3 times per day. I have also walked others dogs ages 6 months to 7 years old. I am also familiar with cats and litter box cleaning.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Westchase is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westchase
Colton has been absolutely amazing with my two Frenchies, Vaan and Krypto! From day one, it was clear how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. He’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-exercised. Vaan and Krypto absolutely adore him, and I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. He’s attentive to their personalities and needs, and it really shows in how excited they get every time they see him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and fantastic with dogs, I can’t recommend Colton enough. Truly a 5-star experience every time!
Kelli has been a true life saver for me and my Pitbull girly. Like most pits, my girl is stubborn. Kelli is able to handle any situation with ease and compassion. There is always great communication and support whenever needed. Kelli goes above and beyond in caring for my dog, whether it’s a quick walk or in-home stays. I truly could not have asked for a better person to be a part of my dogs life.
When we're out of town for a short weekend, we usually have morning and night coverage for our baby. Wires got crossed and he didn't get the care we're used to. Enter Christine. Her and her husband went above and beyond. They cleaned an accident that happened after our usual walker didn't walk the dog accordingly because of the rain. Our poor boy, who never has house accidents, pooped inside. Again, Christine made sure our house was cleaned and even checked to make sure there were no further accidents. She communicated regularly and just gave us such ease while we were gone for the weekend. I can't say enough good things. We'll be booking with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Westchase on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,288 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westchase. 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 Westchase. 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 Westchase.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Westchase. 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.
