“Amanda is a wonderful dog walker. My beagle loves to pull and sometimes reacts to other dogs. Amanda found no difficulty walking him. She is not only comfortable and knowledgeable about dogs but it’s also apparent how much she loves dogs. I will also use Amanda to dog sit for me because she has such a great rapport with my playful beagle.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I've owned dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years, and currently share my home with my five-year-old Boxer, Olly. Olly has multiple allergies and follows a strict homemade diet, so I understand the importance of sticking to special diets, medication schedules, and individualized care. I know every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to provide the extra patience and attention they deserve. Rain, snow, or sunshine, walks and playtime are always part of our routine! I've also discovered that I'm quite the cat lover. We adopted our cat, Dodger, a little over a year ago, and he has completely stolen our hearts. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to give them the care and affection they need while you're away. In addition to dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for reptiles and small mammals too—just please, no tarantulas! I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they're family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority. I'll send updates, photos, and plenty of tail-wagging (or purring!) moments so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or plenty of belly rubs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and preferences. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, lock doors and make sure your pet is safe before I leave.
“Madelyn is so great with Bernie. It was raining earlier today, and Bernie normally won’t go outside. Not only did he go out with her, he went on a long walk. Thank you!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 30+ years. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities, as well as ages from puppies to seniors. From energetic walks to cozy snuggles, I believe in nurturing, exercising, loving, and maintaining routines for dogs. I am sensitive to the cues for playtime, cuddles, and when a dog needs quiet time. My speciality is being present to the daily needs of family pets, which can include dosing medicine, bath time, ear cleaning, and training routines. I Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine because I am building my schedule around it. As a part-time pet sitter and walker, I am fortunate to have the flexibility to give each pet my full attention for morning, midday, and evening walks, playtime, feedings and care. I do not have a fenced yard and would require a leash for your pet at my home. Please provide a leash for let-outs and walks, a bed, and a crate in case of your pet needs a secure environment. Pets are not allowed on furniture or human beds.
About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. From daily feedings and cleaning to exercise, play, and routine check-ins, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for a wide variety of pets with different needs and temperaments. Growing up around both household and farm animals taught me responsibility, consistency, and how to read animal behavior across species. I take a calm, attentive approach and always prioritize safety, routine, and genuine care, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and available anytime, especially during holidays. I prioritize consistency, timely visits, and making sure each pet gets quality attention rather than feeling rushed. I’m reliable with routines like feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I communicate clearly if anything ever changes. Whether your pet needs quick visits or longer companionship, I make sure they feel cared for and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, respect your home, and maintain a calm, clean environment during every visit. I’m attentive to behavior changes, secure doors and gates, and take extra care with leashes, feeding routines, and medication instructions if needed. I treat every home and pet with the same level of responsibility and respect I would expect for my own.
“Susana was truly amazing! She was willing to help out with little notice…a serious life saver! And she was so easy to communicate with. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: My family has had multiple dogs at all times since I was a kid. I currently have a miniature schnauzer that is 1 1/2 years old. She loves going on walks and meeting other dogs!! I am currently working from home, I often take my moms dogs to the park and for walks with us so the more the merrier! dogs can have their run of the house and backyard, i live close to a park to take them to run around or just long walks if preferred
About: I have had dogs in my house my whole life, and for the past few years, I have been dog-sitting for numerous families for long periods of time. I am equipped to walk, let out, feed, administer medications, play, and take care of any other needs your dog may have. I work as a caregiver on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 hours each day, but otherwise, I can spend the rest of my time with your pup. I make it a priority to get any instructions my clients may have regarding their pup and make sure to follow them. I also make sure that I am always in earshot when in the home with the dog so that if anything happens, I can quickly act.
“Alicia did an excellent job, she was very patient, loving and caring. She showed much compassion towards my dog who wasn't as willing to go with her. She soon did and together they had such a great time on there walk. I would HIGHLY recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs ever since I was a little kid. I love them and will always treat your dog like family! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible on being able to watch dogs while at home and taking them out on walks during the week! I live across from a dog park if they are comfortable with going there. There are lots of areas nearby where I can take dogs on a walk! Prefer to board dogs who are crate trained.
About: I grew up with all different kids of dogs, from baby pups to rescues from dog shelter or off the street even from bad homes. I loved fostering dog for awhile, I have worked with many of different breeds from aggressive dogs to very sweet shy dogs. I normally do night shifts on Tuesday nights, Friday nights, and every other weekend. when it come to house sitting or boarding your animal I will move my work schedule around to best accommodate what you need. I live in a big town house, I have a huge back yard that is not fenced in but I am able to walk them around in. There is a dog park down the street from me and a park across the street as well. As for inside of my house it is always clean and safe for big or little animals to stay in. I have a beds in my living room for a animal to lay down on as well as a spear bed room that shy animals can hide away in if they wanted. I do not have any animals at my house to worry about interacting with yours. I am a very safe and loving home. If I am pet sitting at your home or just stopping by while you're at work to feed an animal or take it for a walk or outside. I am fine with meeting from the scheduled time you need me to know I am a good person who won't steal lol. I completely understand feeling weird or uncomfortable with strangers in your home.
About: I grew up with two small dogs, three large dogs, and have one sweet pup of my own. I am comfortable with doggos from puppies to senior and strive to give them the unconditional love and attention that their family members provide. I have worked with dogs that are crate trained and those that are not. I am adaptable, active and enjoy long walks, playing, fetch, and dog parks for social interaction. I strive to provide owners with peace of mind and give their four-legged family members a good time. I am usually home and available on the weekends, as I am in the office during the week. I can do evening drop-ins as well. I live close to a dog park and walking trail to give your furry friend plenty of exercise as needed. I will ensure the dog is cared for and the home is in the same, if not better, condition from when owner left.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as they have always been a family pet for me, as we typically had 4 at time. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors and friends. I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have no pets at home so I am able to stay and pet sit. I have a car so can take dogs on rides and take them to parks and out for walks. I will make sure they are comfortable.

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

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.
