Emily is friendly, kind and attentive, and I trust her to take great care of my Artie. She was even kind enough to bring my packages inside when she came over to walk him. I highly recommend booking with Emily.

About: I love dogs and have been around them most of my life. Most recently I was lucky enough to have my yorkie for over 17 years. During your dogs stay with me I will treat them as if they are my own- getting lots of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles. I am committed to making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable during their time with me! I currently work from home the majority of the week. I am free on weekends so I can give your pup lots of time and attention! Your dog will be treated like a member of my family during their stay! They will get walks in my dog friendly neighborhood (along with a dog friendly park across the street), and lots of couch snuggles during TV binges. They will get lots of play time and attention!

James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet-sitting for over 10 years now. I started walking dogs around the neighborhood and quickly demonstrated my dependability to clients. Through client word-of-mouth and recommendations, I started pet-sitting overnight. My responsibilities ranged from simple daily walks while clients were traveling to weeklong stays at residences, caring for several pets, watering plants, and doing light housework. I work remotely which allows me to be with your pet all day while sitting! This flexibility also gives me the opportunity for walks during the day and short notice care. I am very active so taking your dog out will be the best part of my day! I will follow any and all instructions you leave me for in-home pet care. I can assure you I will meet and exceed your expectations for pet-sitting. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own!

About: I’m trustworthy with furry pets along with homes. I’ve puppy trained multiple times, groomed dogs for about 18 years and owned a senior dog who had liver cancer. I took all of my pets to the vet and kept up with their maintenance. I no longer work in a corporate setting, so my time during the day is wide open. I can remain in the pet’s home with and care for them. Play time is a large part of their day. Most of the time, I’m always sitting near or in the same room as the pet. I noticed I always remain nearby when it’s feeding time, so I know nothing goes wrong. I always lock the house doors when I’m in and outside. I know at times though pets like to have their own quiet times, so I try to respect their space if they leave the room.

I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.

About: I have taken care of 2 seniors dogs for months at a time for a little over 4 years. I have expierence on any sudden emergency vet trips and the medical/ treatment aftercare. I know what patience’s it takes to take care of senior dogs, sick dogs or even puppies. I do work 7:30 -4:30 5 days a week but i love and absolutely need any chance of sunshine and fresh air and walking any free time I can get so this is a perfect way for me to still make sure im getting outside and getting active while also being in great company of your dogs I did just move a couple months ago to an apartment so that is why currently I do not have a dog just because of the lack of space and activities. But I grew up with dogs my entire life and i am saving for a house with a yard and plenty of space to get my own dog. I dog sit very often so even though right now I do not have one I truly love getting to know and interact with all the furry friends!

About: I currently have two cats who are well taken care of and who I have administered medications to and cleaned up after. I also grew up around dogs and am well versed with handling dogs of different temperaments. I work full time but I am very free on the weekends and after work to care for pets. I am also free around lunch times on Monday and Friday. I am adept at handling cats and dogs in difficult situations. For dogs, I would put them in their crate for a cool down time. For cats, I usually prefer to put them in time out in a room or disengage ntil they are able to not be as overstimulated. I also like to re-direct energy using play so pets do not feel punished for their energy.

About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

About: Growing up with a variety of pets has really helped deepen my love for animals. I grew up a family of German shepherds, I’ve had snakes, ferrets, cats, even a hedgehog! All my friends and family have relied on me for watching over there furry friends. I am a newly post grad from Kent state and just recently moved to Cleveland. I am doing a remote internship so I am home most the time during the week but on weekends I bartend and my shifts are usually 6 hours at most but my boyfriend lives close by and he will stop by while I’m at work and help out! and I also love to go on walks and would love to be accompanied by your pet! All my classes are in the morning so I will be up early to take your pet out and feed them whenever necessary, all my classes are also an hour long at most. With my internship being remote I am home almost all the time. I like to treat any pet as my own no matter the size, personality, or behavior. Not only is rover beneficial to you but to me as well for allowing me to spend time with your furry friend!

About: I’ve had multiple cats and dogs growing up! My animals are one of my top priorities. In the past I would stay in homes of families who were in need of a pet sitter. I did this for multiple years before I began to work at a pet store. During this time, I continued to board puppies for multiple weeks at a time. I have flexible availability throughout the weekday. I am open to work around an owners schedule for what best suits their availability as well. I am open for last minute inquires, if needed. I have two bunnies and two cats! It works best for me to come to you and your pet. I am able to come by your home/apartment or even take your animal to the park, if requesting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Central dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Central.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
