About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 23 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!
“Christi is very dependable and punctual. She does a great job caring for my baby and sends great pictures/ updates. So thankful to have someone so reliable taking care of my pup.”
“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
“Fantastic service with dog walking. Communication was clear and timely. She really helped us out with a short notice request. So helpful & we truly appreciate it. We would recommend her for any dog walking services. Thank you. :) Our dog Thanks you too 🐾”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals but dogs were always part of our family. As an adult I have owned cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I love all animals including reptiles! I am currently a stay at home mom for four and looking for some fur-babies to love on while my kids are at school. I’m available most days during the day and some weekends too. I have work in child care most my life, so I’m use to meeting the needs of those who you love the most. I’m calm and patient for slow to warm animals and children.
“Darren is absolutely WONDERFUL!! My pitmix Lola adores him. I recently had foot surgery and has helped out immensely and is currently Lola's best friend. I couldn't recommend him enough!!!!!”
“Rachel came and met me at my house for a walkthrough. She is very sweet with my dog. She was a trooper even when my pup had an accident. Thank you Rachel and Rover for peace of mind.”
“Kayla is literally incredible. She’s so kind, she treats my dog with respect. She’s super responsive and willing to go above and beyond. She is our main go to since we’ve moved here to Columbus and I’m extremely grateful for her.”
“Thanks for taking Peter out yesterday. He was so happy when I got home. I really appreciate how you proactively communicated with me. I knew he was in good hands.”
“Emma was very polite and professional took very good care of the dog and showed up on time every time stayed in contact with me. I’m very happy with the service I received will definitely be contacting Emma next time”
About: I bring a fun, bubbly personality to every visit—but what truly sets me apart is the way I understand animal behavior. As a psychology major, I’ve trained my own dogs using positive reinforcement and classical conditioning (Pavlov’s principles), focusing on consistency, trust, and communication rather than punishment. Because of this approach, my dogs were well-mannered, confident, and happy: they never chewed household items, had house accidents, or developed anxiety-based behaviors. I believe great pet care is about more than supervision—it’s about guiding behavior with patience, encouragement, and love! I work a couple hours during the day and take care of my two kids (3 and 6) at the house. I often have online classes so there’s always something to do for me at home! My kids miss having our dog, Big Boy, around to pet and snuggle. He was 16 when he passed away.😥 We have a lot of love to give and miss having a dog! I am a non-smoker with a clean house. I have white carpet😂 but have a handy carpet cleaner in case your pet has an accident😜 I also have multiple dog leashes and couplers so can walk three dogs at a time. I have carpeted stairs- which is easier for older pups. I do have large crates if your pup needs to be crated (unless they are potty trained -then that would not be necessary). Dogs are allowed on my couches. I have lots of cozy blankets! It’s a quiet end of street neighborhood. Dogs are all “puppies” to me and I love them!
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5! After college I adopted my own dog who passed away at 15. I’ve pet sit for various friends and family members and have experience with dogs 6 pounds to 80! I currently teach yoga, am in graduate school, and freelancing. My schedule is rather flexible which allows me to add this into my daily schedule. At this time, I’m not inviting pets into my home. If I have regular clients whose pets I get to know, I will be open to in the future. Since I have a cat, I want to ensure the comfortability of both pets.
About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.
“John met us on his own time to get acquainted to the house and acclimated with the dogs. One of our dogs was very shy but John took the time and care to get her warmed up to him so she could comfortably walk with them. He's been on time every day and willing to work with our schedule even if there are last minute changes. You can tell he is doing this because he really enjoys and cares about the animals. Make sure to book him quick if he's still available!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I enjoy keeping pets engaged through play, affection, and enrichment activities, including fun activities like dress-up and photos (with the owner’s permission). I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more companionship. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs play and structure or an older pet who needs calm attention and comfort, I adjust my care to fit their needs. As a stay-at-home seamstress, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and play, while also ensuring pets receive attention, grooming, and any needed care. Because I work from home, I can maintain a consistent schedule and respond promptly to their needs throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after pets, administering medication if directed, engaging them in play and exercise, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also keep living areas clean by cleaning litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any pet-related messes. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will communicate with the owner by providing updates and notifying them of any concerns while they are away.
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience and have grown up around animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and safe while their owners are away. I’m currently not working, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to walk, play, and give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I take safety and trust very seriously. I follow routines carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in a clean, calm environment at all times.

Paige gave awesome care to Sarg while I was on vacation! I was at ease and worry free the entire time I was gone! She is extremely responsive and gave continual daily feedback along with pictures too! I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her for dependable loving care. Thank You Paige!
Fantastic dog walker with a great love for pets. She treated our Dipper super well on his walks with her for several months, so much so he stopped barking at her when she came, and just jumped with excitement instead. Was always punctual and had great communication.l as well.
Darren was wonderful with Teddy. He took him on a nice, vigorous walk and sent pictures along the way. I’d recommend Darren to anyone. You can tell he’s very genuine in his connection w/ his clients, and Teddy loved him immediately when he walked in the door. Teddy even gave him a kiss on the nose which is reserved for very special people!
Julie is fantastic. She has been an essential part of our puppy's life since we adopted her nearly two years ago. Julie is kind and consistent - exactly what a young zoomie pup needs. I work long hours and knowing that Charlotte will get Julie's loving attention makes it easier on Charlotte and me. She is so much more than Charlotte's dog walker.... she is Charlotte person when mom and dad are away. If you need a skilled and passionate person for your pup - you can't go wrong with Julie. I wish I could give her ten stars.

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 Blacklick. 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.

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 Blacklick. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
