Pet Visits & Dog Walks in Grand Hampton, New Tampa (Tampa, FL)

Grand Hampton in New Tampa (Tampa, FL 33647): Grand Hampton is a guard-gated, master-planned New Tampa community of nearly 600 acres at the Pasco County line, opened in 2003, with a clubhouse, pools, courts and fitness center on Dunham Station Dr and a community development district created by the City of Tampa. Family dogs behind a guarded gate, so every visit runs on the guest list; midday let-outs, summer walks at sunrise and after 7 p.m., overnights when you travel. We live a few streets over in Cross Creek, on the same side of the county line.

A pet visit here is a full 30 or 60 minutes: out, fed, watered, walked, played with, and a photo sent before we leave. In summer the walks are at sunrise and after 7 p.m., because the pavement on a New Tampa sidewalk at 2 p.m. in July is too hot for paws, and in the rainy season the storms come through between 3 and 6 in the afternoon, so afternoon visits are timed around them. A midday visit in summer is a shaded potty break and fresh water, not a long walk. On acreage lots the walk often stays on your property, with the gate closed behind us.

Grand Hampton has guarded gates and a guardhouse. Add us to your household guest list through the ABDI GateAccess portal at gateaccess.net before the first visit; if you have not used it yet, the Amenity Supervisor registers you first. We confirm it at the meet and greet. The amenity center is resident-fob restricted, so if you want us at the pool or clubhouse with your kids or your dog, we need your fob. Overnights in your own home ($95/night) keep the routine intact when you travel, and multiple drop-ins on the same day cover a long workday.
