About: Have 5+ years of animal care experience/volunteer work and as well have pets of my own including dogs, birds, and cats. Have worked for the Metroparks as an Animal Care Intern as well. I’m currently working part-time and have a genuine passion for animals and looking for varieties of experiences because I am looking for a career in the animal care field as well. I have a fenced in yard all around and also pay attention to daily behaviors and movements. Also prioritize outdoor time and play time as well.
About: I’m a cat person at home but I love others dogs. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi to them, so your best friend is safe with me. Let me walk your pup or just drop in to let them out. If you have cats, I’m available for feedings and pet sessions! I work full time during the week 8-4:30, so weekday check-ins and walks would have to be at 5 PM or later. The weekends are pretty open. I am looking to make some extra money doing something enjoyable. I am not a pet sitter, but I’ll walk your dogs and check in on your cats. Let me take your pup for a spin around the block for a potty break or energy release! I’ll play with your feline friends too so they don’t get too bored while you’re away.
“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.”
“Bailey was great, we did a meet and greet with her prior to the 2 walks she did for our pup. Bailey was on time, sent pictures and updates, and we would be very comfortable using her again in the future!”
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 have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from little puppies to cute oldie senior pups. I have experience and comfortability with giving meds, going on long walks, and playing with lots and lots of toys. When I was little I would take care of my neighbors dogs with basic responsibilities like letting them outside and feeding them, which made my love for dogs grow even more. I started a summer "business" with my sister and friend just trying to find an excuse to play with the neighborhood dogs. I even got to take my love into a career when I worked in a vet clinic for almost two years during covid. When owners were not allowed into the building, I would be the one to love, hold and play with the animals during the appointment time so that they were still taken care of. I also worked down in the boarding facility, feeding, cleaning, and walking a ton of dogs who all needed to stretch their legs a little. I take time with each animal as much as possible, so not only do they get to spend time with someone, but they get to spend time with someone who actively is just as excited to see them! I currently work part time, mostly mornings, so any visits in the afternoon or evening would be perfect for my schedule! I get my schedule as early as three weeks in advance, so I know exactly when I am free about then. I can also stay with dogs, but need to be able to leave in the early morning but usually isn't a problem! I have done lots of combination house sitting and pet sitting for many of my neighbors throughout the years! I always clean up after myself, and leave the place better than I found it. I can also do some odd chores here or there if you would like, I have watered lots of plants! Keeping the pet in the comfortable environment is most important to me, as that is their home and I want them to be as cozy as possible while I am there.
About: I have a strong background working with animals of all kinds—from wrangling 60+ horses at a working ranch, to helping kids with special needs ride and care for horses through a PATH program in Rocky River. Animals have been a huge part of my life, and being around them brings me a deep sense of joy and purpose. I have completed my doctor of physical therapy degree and am currently working PRN, so I have time to work with animals! I also volunteer with Love-A-Stray’s cat division, assisting with feeding, cleaning, and trap-neuter-release efforts. At home, I care for five rescue cats (mostly tabbies!) who are social, playful, and get along great with one another.
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover who has 10 years of experience raising and caring for my family's tiny furry best friend; Mia (Dachshund/Pomeranian). When we are together we love to take daily walks, run around the yard, play tug of war in the living room, and snuggle on the couch. I make sure she is fed, groomed, and, of course, gets her morning and evening treats. I live with my sisters cat in our apartment and am comfortable caring for your feline friends, as well. My friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets, large and small, over the years. Whether it's going for a long walk or spending quality time at home, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved while you're away. I am currently between jobs so I have a flexible schedule to work with. Aside from errands and remote tasks I have plenty of time to give to your furry friends. I am here to adapt to your pets routine and environment to keep things as comfortable and normal as their usual day to day as possible.
About: I have experience with sitting a wide range of pets. This includes dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, and even geese! I now reside in Avon Lake. However, throughout college and as a resident of Athens, I provided overnight care and check ins for folks who own farms, or for folks who had a smaller furry family. I have learned on the job from hands on experience, and I have owned my own pets as well! My clients love that I provide them with regular updates and pictures of their animals. Not only will I care for your animals while you are away, but I will keep up with chores so you don’t come home to a mess! My main goal for many of my clients was to provide them some relief from their farm as they took a much needed vacation. I hope to work with you so that you can take that trip stress free! I am open to offer services anytime as long as I am aware 2 weeks in advance so that I can schedule around it. I currently don’t have a job so my availability is open. Thank you! I establish a loving relationship with all animals, no matter how big or small or whether the dog has a disability or health conditions. I have taken care of a blind elderly dog named Otto who has since passed away. That dog taught me so much about how to establish a connection through touch and sound. I can find ways to workaround roadblocks with any animal (and offer them lots of treats and pets while I’m at it).
“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 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 work remote. I am open to coordinating with owners for convenience. 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 available throughout the day, as I work remote. A couple days a month I have to go in to the office. I am usually home on the weekends. 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: 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
“Marissa is awesome! She has been walking Lilly for over a week now, and I couldn't be happier. She is dependable, always comes in the time frame I ask, and I feel that she cares about my dog. She always gives me updates in addition to the card that Rover gives you. As a dog trainer myself, I have met several dog walkers who don't actually know how to walk a dog. You can rest assured that Marissa will properly walk your dog. I highly recommend that if you need a dog walker to look no further than Marissa.”
About: I have had pets since childhood. Right now I am petless😞 so would love to take care of your babies! Please know you can trust they will get lots of love! I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to spend with your pet, playing or just sitting and loving them. Thank you for trusting and considering me. I will care for them by listening to what the owner instructs in either my home or theirs. Personally I think the pet is more comfortable in their familiar surroundings.
About: I’ve helped family members and friends with pet sitting and cared for my own for 28 years. I love all animals!! I have a lot of love and patience to give and I pay attention to details. I’m a homeowner and have one cat and I’m very responsible and respectful of someone’s home and animals. Their health and happiness are my priority. I know how it feels to need a responsible sitter who cares. I would come to meet you and your furry family member before you hire me. I’m currently working 4 days a week. I can work with you to do an afternoon and evening check in on weekdays and I’m available on weekends for in home care or a couple checks on your pet. I’m available for scheduling dog walking . I specialize in cat care. I’m very knowledgeable about pet care. I cater to your animals routine and feeding instructions. I will make sure they are happy while you are away and I can send photos to make sure you feel better about being away from them. Peace of mind for you while your away ♥️

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.

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 Avon Lake. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
