About: Growing up we had a dog and a cat, then as an adult, I was a hoomin owned by three cats. I've since chosen a hoomin partner who is very allergic to animals, so I get my animal lovies and playtime in with other folks' animals. I excel at being able to bond with animals and meet them where they are (not where I want them to be). I look forward to being a partner with you, in the care, maintenance, and love of your favorite fur-kid(s)!! Additional note: I am insured via Pet Care Insurance for pet care, pet walking, and home services. I am a non-traditional/contract worker with a lot of flexibility. I prefer to work within a ten mile radius of the Mill Run area of Hilliard, but willing to travel to help out with your fur-kids and homes. Fresh air and sunshine is ideal for all creatures, especially our furry friends and I love to explore the out of doors with happy animals and friends. That said, I also love to have some playtime with fur kids to expand their horizons and provide active brain time for them.

About: Registered Nurse offering specialized care for senior and special-needs pets in the area: As a clinical professional with an extensive healthcare background, I bring clinical observation, safety, and gentleness to pet care. I specialize in providing peace of mind to owners of senior and special-needs dogs and cats who require extra patience or medical support. Because I look after a cat of my own, I know how stressful it is to leave a beloved pet with health challenges at home alone. I offer part-time care with open, flexible daily availability to ensure your pet stays strictly on their routine. Because I choose to work part-time with open, flexible availability, pet care doesn't just squeeze into my routine. Rather, it acts as the anchor of my day. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your pet's specific routine, whether that means a precise morning medication window, a midday wellness walk, or a late-evening check-in. Because I am not rushing between a rigid 9-to-5 job, I can dedicate my full, undivided attention to monitoring your pet’s comfort, pacing, and medical needs exactly when they need me. I love meeting animals right where they live! Because I have a temperamental senior cat who rules my own house, I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes. This environment is especially vital for the senior and special-needs pets I often work with, as keeping them in familiar surroundings dramatically reduces stress. Visiting pets where they are most comfortable allows me to focus on maintaining their precise daily routine, accurately administering any required medications, and providing a calm, dedicated presence right in their comfort zone.

“Ericka was absolutely fantastic and took great care of our dog while we were away. She handled walks, mealtimes, and his insulin injections twice a day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. We would book with Ericka again in a heartbeat!!”

About: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.

I truly just love animals, especially dogs, and I love getting to know their different personalities. Exercise and play time are so important for dogs, and I’m happy to help out with that!!

About: I am a very patient and animal-loving person, with two little ones of my own. I have fostered animals in the past and was so happy to give them all adoring homes. I love the outdoors and will give your dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. I am pretty flexible but my available is currently centered towards the weekend and willing to accommodate each individual's needs. A balanced and strict diet is very important to me when feeding my animals so the same mentality will be brought when taking care of your angels. I have either owned a dog or been surrounded by them my whole life and can never get enough! I have full respect for any details that might be important to any owner and I look forward to meeting your furbabies soon! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have full availability and a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide dependable care that works around each pet's needs rather than fitting them into a busy timetable. Whether your cat needs morning visits, evening check-ins, medication at specific times, or extra attention while you're away, I can accommodate a variety of schedules. Having open availability also means I'm able to spend quality time with pets, provide consistent care, and be available for last-minute bookings when possible. I enjoy building trust with each pet and making sure they receive the attention, comfort, and routine they're used to while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes thoroughly, administer medications if needed, and provide plenty of attention based on each pet's personality and comfort level. Whether a cat enjoys playtime, brushing, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I also keep the home tidy during my visits, clean up any pet-related messes, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I make sure pets have access to fresh food and water, a clean space to relax, and the attention they need to feel secure and at home.

Rachel did a great job walking Rebel! She was patient with his stubbornness about going out in the rain and even made sure he wore his raincoat & dried him off after. She also ensured he had fresh water after each visit and was very communicative throughout. I’d happily recommend Rachel and book her again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Dublin is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 2,496 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dublin. 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 Dublin. 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 Dublin 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 Dublin. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
