“We wanted the perfect fit for our older and anxious dog and our overly excited/dog crazy puppy. Meaghan went above and beyond. I felt comfortable knowing she was in my home without us there and that she could understand my dog’s personalities and emotions to know what they needed for the day. It helped ease my worry while I had long days at work. Overall a very kind person and very responsible. Also gave the best updates after the walk so I could see how happy they were.”

“Kylie has been the perfect Rover for our 18mo old Bernedoodle. She is so sensitive to Cocoa’s energy level and what the flow of the walk should be that day. She has a great sense of what our dog needs and I can tell our dog truly enjoys her visits. Could not recommend Kylie more she is a star!”

About: I grew up in a home full of pets, ranging from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, which only encouraged my love for animals. Over the last decade, that interest has lead me to pursue multiple paths in the pet care field. I have learned how to care for many types of animals, how to provide a safe and stress-free environment for pets, and how to keep an open line of communication with pet parents. The greatest takeaway, however, has been building a better understanding of animal behavior and how to interact with everyone at their own pace! At the moment, I am available for two drop-in visits per day, Monday through Sunday. I am unavailable at specific times certain days of the week. Those are: Tuesdays 9:30am-11:30am, Saturdays and Sundays (and some Fridays) 8am-10am Your pet's routine and comfort are my priorities! That leads me to focus on leash safety, home safety and security, and food/medication schedules. Regular communication is important to me, as it is the best way to ensure all needs are met.

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.

About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.

About: Hello! My name is Melissa, and I have spent my entire life surrounded by cats and dogs. I provide patient, dedicated, and specialized pet care tailored to your animal's unique personality and needs. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, including: • High-energy breeds that need structured exercise and mental stimulation. • Bully breeds and small dogs of all temperaments. • Reactive pups who require extra patience, careful handling, and a calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different comfort level, and I prioritize a gentle, positive approach to make them feel safe and happy. If you are looking for a highly capable, reliable, and patient caregiver who truly understands dog behavior, look no further! I can't wait to meet your furry family members. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am off all major holidays to help with pet needs. I live on the East side of Cincinnati near bike paths and trails. I look forward to providing for your pets needs. Safety is my absolute top priority, and I am proud to offer a secure, low-stress environment where your pet can truly thrive. My home features a fully fenced-in yard situated on a beautiful two-acre property, providing the perfect secure setup for play, exploration, and extra-long, peaceful walks on a leash. Because I understand that every pet moves at their own pace—especially high-energy or reactive animals—I practice complete patience and exclusively use positive reinforcement methods to build a solid foundation of genuine trust. You can look forward to seamless, proactive communication throughout your pet's stay, including regular updates and plenty of photos, ensuring you have total peace of mind knowing they are safe, respected, and loved like family.

About: I’ve been a full-time professional nanny, pet care provider, personal assistant, and house manager for 29 years. Since 1998 I have been assisting families in taking care of their homes, pets and children. I've performed various housekeeping and house management responsibilities. I will provide excellent care if you select me as your care provider! I'm clean, organized, reliable, love animals and can provide several references in regards to the care I provide. As you can see in my photos: I love animals! Farm animals too! Riding horses, petting goats, you name it. I’ve even done goat yoga. Lol From the time I could walk I was petting kittens and chasing after dogs. Most weekends I’m available to provide pet care and throughout the week I work part-time mostly in the afternoons, though I can flex my schedule when I want to. Currently and over the past five years I’ve worked for a family providing weekday care for their two cats. I’m currently looking to add a few additional families for ongoing care and lunch time drop-ins. Also I will continue to offer short-term, occasional care. I can provide daily visits, walks, transport to vet appointments, and overnight care in the clients home.

About: I grew up with dogs and have included them in my family as an adult. My childhood dogs were Prince, a golden curly-haired Poodle/Collie mix, and Midnight, a black German Shepherd/Spaniel mix. Prince passed while I was in middle school but I had Midnight throughout my childhood and college years. We walked everywhere in my neighborhood and enjoyed playing in the backyard or just laying in the sun together. My next family dog would be chosen by my 7 yo daughter at the PAWS animal shelter. She found Fantasia - a 1.5 yo Border Collie mix - and they were instantly best friends. Fantasia (Tasia) was a part of our family through raising children and my divorce - becoming my best friend and companion. She passed from old age a few years ago and had lived to be 16 yo. I miss my best friend and furry family member dearly. This is why I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing the love and care that you would give yourself. I currently have the freedom to care for your pet and meet their needs per your request. Walks and playtime are a given, and I am happy to do basic coat brushing, and of course, will provide lots of TLC. I have a fenced yard and live in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks. I am also just a mile from 2 area parks -Summit Park in Blue Ash and Webb C. Gower Park in Sharonville. Both are very walkable and dog friendly. If desired, Summit Park has a fenced dog park area for socialization and play. And Sharon Woods Park is a short drive from my house.

About: I’m a great fit to be a pet sitter because I genuinely love working with dogs- I find them adorable and truly enjoy spending time with them. I don’t mind watching them while their owners are busy working, and I’m very attentive to their needs. I prioritize their safety at all times, whether I’m walking them, taking them out for bathroom breaks, or just keeping them company. Conveniently located near a professional pet wash, I can also provide luxurious bath services to keep your pets fresh and pampered. I’m available Monday-Friday after 5:00pm, Thursdays all day and anytime, Saturday and Sunday after 4:30 pm. After December 13, I’ll be able to offer boarding on the weekends!

I’m also super budget-friendly:) I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with walking trails, a dog park, and a pet wash station.

About: As a pet professional and business owner, I am devoted to providing the highest quality services. I will ensure your pet(s) safety, comfort, and happiness, as well as your satisfaction. I aim to go above and beyond by providing customized and thorough care. I am respectful of my client’s homes and communicative about each visit. Degree + Experience + Passion! Specializing in dogs who could use improvement with basic manners, new family members (adopted dogs, puppies), nervous, fearful, and reactive dogs. *Discounts available for clients on Schubert, Troy, and Cortelyou Aves, and parts of Ridge and Losantiville Aves. My schedule is currently flexible- I can often offer walks and drop ins as early as 7am and as late as 8:30pm. Based in Pleasant Ridge. I am the proud owner of Maple Tree Dog Training LLC. I believe that force-free training is the best way to effectively change behavior and build respect and communication with animals of all types, including humans. I strive to offer choices and reinforce the behaviors I like most and avoid forcing any animal to do anything. Learning and training should be FUN and POSITIVE. Fear and force has no place in our relationships. If your dog currently uses aversive tools or methods (ex. prong, choke, or shock collars) I would be more than happy to demonstrate how positive methods could be applied. I do not use aversive tools or methods during my services. Contact me to schedule a meet and greet! I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! Pet care is a daily activity in my personal life. I currently have a decent amount of flexibility and my schedule is filled on a first-come first serve basis. I often have availability in the morning, afternoon, and evenings, and limited availability on the weekends and holidays. I can occasionally provide overnight pet boarding services in my home, but a meet and greet with my dog is required to ensure I can host your pup while ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of both your dog and mine. I follow all instructions carefully and ask for clarification when needed. I do my best to ensure your pet is delighted during my visit and relaxed after.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Deer Park is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 2,265 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Deer Park. 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 Deer Park. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Deer Park 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 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 Deer Park. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
