“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 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.

“Can’t say enough about how much of a dog whisperer I feel Maddie is! My dogs love walks but also are not too crazy about rain so while they still went on a short walk Maddie still gave them some great attention in the house afterwards. Thanks Maddie!”

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.

About: I've been a loving pet owner all my life. My 2 dogs are spoiled and LOVE the company of other dogs. Your pet's stay with us will be lots of fun and they might not want to leave! My house is your dog's house! Privately tucked away and far removed from any busy streets, my house is the perfect home away from home for your fur babies. Your pups will enjoy over a half acre of open, grassy space surrounded by beautiful trees to run, play, and safely explore in, and a cozy, warm home where they can snuggle up and rest after a full day of fun. I will keep in touch with you and send pics as often as you'd like, and you will be comforted to know that your dog is receiving the best care possible. I am TOTALLY flexible with your needs! I work part time and mostly from home so I'm rarely away for more than three or 4 hours at a time. My pups (and yours) will get loving attention all through the day! Your pet will get the highest love care possible. Your pet will have full run of my house including couches and beds. I welcome all visiting pups to join me and Rudy for our evening sleep if they care to join us. Emma prefers the ottoman at the end of my bed.

About: I have had my own dogs for 10 years. They both passed from cancer. They opened up a whole new world for me and made me realize how much I love animals! Not only to care for them but provide the affection they need that heals me and them! I am now a cat owner to two as well! They’re both 8, and the best cats I could ever ask for! With two different personalities and various health problems they have provided me with so much experience! I am currently unemployed! While I am usually hanging around my house providing care for my 2 cats and many nephews and niece I have so much free time that I would love to share by providing any pet service I can! I am also a mom to a toddler too so it’s usually just us! She loves animals too so she could accompany as well if allowed! I will always provide safety and make sure the animal is in my sight at all times! I’ve dealt with many of puppies and dogs of my own who are escape artists! Making sure they are watched at all times is my priority. Same goes for cats as well, making sure they get enough attention and playing time when I come and visit!

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey. I am 39 years old and have two sons ages 18 and 16. I am a licensed practical nurse and I have had animals since I was 7 years old. I love just about every critter there is. I have had cats and dogs of all sizes. My skills include: dog walking, feeding, playing, companionship, administering any medications, urinary incontinence and diaper use, following necessary diets, and lots of belly rubs. I am familiar with most collars and leads. I can host up to two dogs a day in my home if they are from the same family, possibly more if they are small dogs. I have a fenced in yard. Puppies are welcome. I have been operating this business full time since September of 2019 and I have a very loyal client base. I am an energetic loving animal sitter who is looking forward to meeting you and your family pets! We are a homeschooling family who spends most time at...you guessed it! Home! Check our calendar for availability! We would love to meet you and your family! Here we have a fenced in backyard so we get lots of outside play time in. When the weather is nice we also like to go to our local area park. We have toy boxes filled with treasures for your fur baby to enjoy. We also made sure to stock our cabinets full of treats....just in case!!! ☺️ I have been passionately working full time in this pet care business since the beginning of September 2019. It has lead me to become the proud owner of Harleys Hounds LLC. I absolutely love what I do and I love meeting all of your furry family members! My main goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, secure, loved, and as if they are having a vacation of their own!

About: I have been rescuing cats and other animals for over 15 years and work with my neighbors to try and find homes for them. We have always had dogs and cats. I love animals and have lots of love and attention to give! Since my husband passed away in 2010, I have spent time traveling and I have time on my hands to work on my garden and house and read. I love the company of animals and I feel they like me too! I am a very organized person and try to provide a sense of a schedule for the pets as well. I think it helps everyone to be flexible but not in the areas that matter like going outside and the feeding schedules! No pitbulls, and no mixed breeds with pitbulls please. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I provide a loving, nurturing environment. I can take your pet after 2 pm! I have a fenced in back yard. I will provide exercise and plenty of fresh water and opportunities for potty breaks! Daily walks as well!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 5. I have also had neighbors, family, and friends rely on me with walking and taking care of all different types of dogs ranging from any age. This gave me lots of experience with dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently working a part time job of only 4 hours shifts; this gives me lots of free time to play and take care of your dog! I am very flexible with your rules you follow with your dog. I have moved a lot with my dog and have been anywhere from a fenced in yard and letting a dog out on their own to having to be put on a leash at all times. Anything and everything works for me!

About: I have been a registered veterinary technician for 9 years. I specifically work with emergency and critical care. I of course have my own animals that I have cared for 12 years. I have four dogs, two cats, a betta fish, some shrimp, and a snail. Animals are my passion and I will treat yours like my own. I only work three nights a week, which leaves long weekends available for services. I have pretty open availability to suit your needs. I’m very willing to work with your schedule. Whether you need over night care or daily walks, I'm confident we can arrange something. If the day you need, reach out, we may be able to work something out. Unfortunately at this time, I will only have services outside of my home. I will care for your furry loved ones like they are my own.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my intuitive, patient, and highly observant approach. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method for pet care. Instead, I use my deep understanding of dog behavior and body language to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, emotional needs, and energy levels. I specialize in providing a calm, low-stress environment, making me particularly a great fit for dogs that need a gentler, more mindful touch. From a young age I have been around dogs in all ranges - puppies, elders, rescues, energetic, anxious, etc. I help take care of my own dogs, family, and friend’s dogs when they are out of town or just need some extra love! <3 I am currently a graduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in the helping profession, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible and adaptable schedule throughout the week. Because my studies are largely self-paced and hybrid, I have plenty of open availability to dedicate high-quality, focused time to your pet. Because I care for your dogs through walking and house-sitting, my top priorities are absolute home security, maintaining your pet's familiar environment, and vigilant safety on the leash. I know how stressful it can be to let someone into your home and trust them with your furry family member, which is why I approach my services with the utmost respect, awareness, and care. Before we even step foot outside, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted. I practice defensive walking and never let your dog off-leash in unsecured areas. When we are out on a walk, my focus is 100% on your dog. I am constantly scanning the environment for potential triggers—like off-leash dogs, loud construction, or busy intersections—and I proactively adapt our route to keep the walk calm and safe. Walks are tailored entirely to your dog's age and health. Whether it's a brisk, high-energy exercise session or a slow, sniffing-focused stroll for a senior pup, I let them set the pace. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow your house rules, keep spaces clean, and ensure your home is locked up and fully secure every time I enter or leave. Pets thrive on routine. By staying in their familiar environment, I minimize their separation anxiety. I stick perfectly to your established schedules for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and bedtime so their daily life changes as little as possible. To give you total peace of mind, I provide regular updates and photos. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing; you’ll know they are safe, happy, and relaxed in their own home.

Susan B. did a great job walking Sophie (our 70 pound Bernedoodle) twice per day when we were unable to do so ourselves. She was very prompt and did a great job of handling Sophie, who is not the most disciplined walker in the world. After each walk, she sent a picture of Sophie, a map of the walk, and a "report card". Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommend Susan B.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Avon Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Avon Lake is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 1,732 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Avon Lake. 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 Avon Lake. 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 , 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 Avon Lake 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avon Lake. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
