About: Hi! I’m Lindsey. I am 39 years old and have two sons ages 18 and 16. I am a licensed practical nurse and I have had animals since I was 7 years old. I love just about every critter there is. I have had cats and dogs of all sizes. My skills include: dog walking, feeding, playing, companionship, administering any medications, urinary incontinence and diaper use, following necessary diets, and lots of belly rubs. I am familiar with most collars and leads. I can host up to two dogs a day in my home if they are from the same family, possibly more if they are small dogs. I have a fenced in yard. Puppies are welcome. I have been operating this business full time since September of 2019 and I have a very loyal client base. I am an energetic loving animal sitter who is looking forward to meeting you and your family pets! We are a homeschooling family who spends most time at...you guessed it! Home! Check our calendar for availability! We would love to meet you and your family! Here we have a fenced in backyard so we get lots of outside play time in. When the weather is nice we also like to go to our local area park. We have toy boxes filled with treasures for your fur baby to enjoy. We also made sure to stock our cabinets full of treats....just in case!!! ☺️ I have been passionately working full time in this pet care business since the beginning of September 2019. It has lead me to become the proud owner of Harleys Hounds LLC. I absolutely love what I do and I love meeting all of your furry family members! My main goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, secure, loved, and as if they are having a vacation of their own!

About: *covered by both Rover and personal PCI insurance! My name is Kimberly and I am currently 31 years old - I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a child, however I moved to working with dogs professionally at the age of 20; I have enjoyed every moment since! My husband & I recently moved to Elyria however we previously lived in Cleveland Heights where I worked at a local dog boarding and daycare center where I was responsible for the well being of upwards of 35-50 dogs, ensuring each and every dog was able to relax in their new environment, providing all meals and medication as well as ensuring the safety of all social dogs in a group together. This position gave me the most valuable knowledge possible and has solidified my idea that stress free care is one of the most important things I can do for the pets entrusted in my care. My husband & I currently own 3 cats and they are all our world and best friends; while I love all animals, dogs are my true passion however and I have extensive experience with many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, energy drives, worker breeds/service dogs, etc. I am also able to provide you with the comfort of knowing all medications and health needs will be met, as I have plenty of experience providing care for senior/health compromised dogs that follow a strict medication/feeding schedule. I am very comfortable with administering shots, pill shoots as well as old fashion 'pilling' a dog with some PB! After the pandemic and working an office job remotely for 2 years, I have stepped aside from that life and am looking to focus more on spending my days enjoying my passion: taking care of your pup and creating a relaxed, stress free experience for you both. I have a background in customer service so bringing you peace of mind, going above and beyond, and creating special experiences is something im happy to be able to do! This is my full time position so you don't need to worry about my schedule pulling me in different directions; there is extra security with my dog experienced/dog obsessed husband being close by and able to help in an kind of possible emergency that might keep me from my usual schedule. I treat house-sitting as if I am working from home and I will not be away from your pets for longer than 4-5hrs at a time, and am happy to/prefer to spend the night so your pet/home aren't alone or unsupervised. If I am in your home you can find peace in the fact that not only your pets will be safe but your home is protected as well! I treat others homes just as sacredly as ones pets, and I am more than happy to take in all mail/packages, water your plants, be home for any needed maintenance or to alert you of any home changes or emergencies. I also have extensive knowledge of what to do for all weather emergencies as well such as tornado warnings, winter storms, heavy flooding etc and you can rest easy on your vacation knowing that your pet is safe and all steps are taken to ensure your home and pet will stay protected!

About: Hi!! My name is Mairead and I am a senior at OSU from the Cleveland area! I am home in Cle for winter break Dec 11-Jan 9 and am looking for new clients!! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last couple of years. I have experience pet sitting all sizes, different breeds, and even multiple dogs at once. I grew up with 3 dogs in my house, with different personality types and needs. Additionally, I have experience with giving oral medications and I understand every dog has their quirks and specific needs. I am so excited to get to know your pets! <3 I am currently working part-time at a pharmacy. My schedule there changes every week so my availability mainly depends on that. If I am not at work, I am available to do multiple drop ins and walks throughout the day. I am also available for house sitting especially on a weekend! I plan to update my availability daily so that will be accurate! I love to spend time with your pets while I am sitting and like to make sure I am watching them at all times. I always take them out on a leash and do frequent potty breaks.

About: I have always volunteered at the Elyria and Cleveland APL and I’m doing this because I genuinely care for all animals. I like to go for hikes, walks and runs in the metro parks. If you’re comfortable with that I’d be willing to take your dog/dogs. I’m willing to work with what ever makes everyone comfortable! I have a large fenced in yard and 1 neutered 8 year old labradoodle lives in my home permanently. I work from home so there is plenty of time for me to spend with the pets. My husband and I are high energy and always going for walks and hanging out outdoors! I have a fenced in yard and 4 fur babies of my own to keep your dogs safe and having a great time! I work from home, so I’m always around to play with and take care of the pups!

About: Hi, I'm Allison! I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong passion for animal care and over four years of professional pet sitting experience. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including pets requiring specialized care and medication management. Pets are cared for in a nurturing, attentive, and structured environment that prioritizes comfort, routine, and overall well being. A large, securely fenced backyard provides ample space for safe play, exercise, and enrichment. Each animal is treated as if they were family, offering dependable care and complete peace of mind for pet owners. Caring for dogs is woven into my daily routine in a natural and consistent way. Each morning starts with letting the dogs out, making sure they get their breakfast, and checking that everyone has fresh water. Throughout the day, I structure my schedule around walks, playtime, and giving the dogs opportunities to socialize and burn off energy. I also build in time for grooming, medications, or any special needs a dog may have, since every pup requires something a little different. Evenings usually end with another round of outside time, cuddles, and making sure each dog settles comfortably for the night. I care for pets in my own home as I do mine. When it comes to caring for animals in another one’s home I play by their rules!

About: I have been around dogs and cats almost my whole life. I have dropped in to feed my grandmas dogs and my aunts dogs plenty of times. Right now I am looking to have this as my full time job because I love feeding and taking care of animals. When i am around them it makes me happy! I live in a apartment on the 7th floor so it would be kinda difficult to bring other animals here and I also have a cat that doesn't like other animals. I can take care of animals at my mothers house with no problems.

About: I have been rescuing cats and other animals for over 15 years and work with my neighbors to try and find homes for them. We have always had dogs and cats. I love animals and have lots of love and attention to give! Since my husband passed away in 2010, I have spent time traveling and I have time on my hands to work on my garden and house and read. I love the company of animals and I feel they like me too! I am a very organized person and try to provide a sense of a schedule for the pets as well. I think it helps everyone to be flexible but not in the areas that matter like going outside and the feeding schedules! No pitbulls, and no mixed breeds with pitbulls please. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I provide a loving, nurturing environment. I can take your pet after 2 pm! I have a fenced in back yard. I will provide exercise and plenty of fresh water and opportunities for potty breaks! Daily walks as well!

“Maddy was incredible!!! My dog Peanut loved her and was always excited to see her for his walk. She was always on time and tried to keep him active for the full duration! When he didn’t want to walk, she would opt for playing inside. Was the best to leave my dog in the care of someone I trust.”

About: I am a professional actor and aspiring pet caretaker new-ish to the Cleveland area! Pet care is one of the many side hustles I have taken on since graduating college and beginning my acting career. It can be challenging to find jobs that are easy to hop right back into in between or even on top of my performing jobs, so what better place to work than as a caretaker for your pet? Considering my background in theatre and a lifetime of caring for the many dogs and cats my family owned growing up, you can consider me a reliable, loyal, and trustworthy caretaker for your sweet fur babies. I will quickly and easily match their energy and I can assure you that your pet(s) will remain safe and happy! In my childhood and teen years, my family took on multiple pets - cats and dogs of all ages. I was a responsible caretaker for my family, ensuring to pay close attention to the pet’s needs and behavior and always letting my parents know if I noticed an issue. Our pets remained happy and healthy, and I moved away from home only to adopt a six week old kitten myself! My cat, Kirby, is now a happy and healthy three year old who lives among two other cats that I successfully socialized him with. Needless to say, my caretaking methods are effective and rehearsed, beginning from a young age and continuing into my adulthood. I am so looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies, and I’m ever so excited to be of the utmost assistance I can be to you. By hiring me, you are helping a young actress make her way in the beginnings of her career and filling her heart by allowing her quality time with your pets! I currently am working as a teacher and a server. My schedule varies week to week, but I am happy to rearrange my schedule when possible to accommodate to your pet care needs! I am happy to bring along any supplies of my own that would make our time easier! I am also happy to follow any routine you already have in place and comfortable with looking in your home as much as you would allow me to use supplies you may already have.

About: Growing up on a dairy farm, I have always been comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets with special care needs. As a full time pet parent who is self employed and working from home, pet care fits naturally into my life. I am regularly available throughout the day to keep an eye on things, stick to feeding schedules, administer meds if needed, and make sure everyone gets plenty of attention My schedule and personal life is very flexible, I can easily cater care to whatever your pet needs—extra playtime, quiet companionship, strict routines, or just someone who understands that cats and dogs operate on their own mysterious timetables. Your pets get reliable, consistent care woven right into my everyday life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always trust, safety, and respecting the space your pet already feels comfortable in. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, meds, walks, playtime, whatever makes your pet feel secure—so their day stays familiar and stress-free. I keep doors locked, double-check anything safety-related, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I move quietly, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet’s environment stays calm, clean, and consistent. My goal is simple: you come home to a safe house and a happy pet.

About: Hi I'm Christabel I have a strong love for pets! I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter that started out taking care of pets of all kind for my neighbors, friends and family. I currently have a dog named Owen (AKA MonkeyMan). He is a 17 year old Tibetan Spaniel mix who thinks he's a 1 year old Rottweiler living his best life. I have had four pets in my life (including a chicken named Jackie). I also have previous experience as a playtime companion at a cat adoption center in PetSmart. I have previously cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, a fish, and a guinea pig named Herbert. I am a reliable and responsible animal lover looking for extra walks and cuddles with some fur friends. I am energetic, loving and patient with them. I am very flexible with the hours and days I can work. Looking forward to loving on your furry babies like their my own! Please do not hesitate to ask questions there are no stupid questions when it comes to your fur babies! Due to being in school virtually I am able to care for your pet on very short notice. For pet sitting/play times, I do prefer mornings and evenings but I have plenty of other times to walk or play with your fur babies. When I enter your home the 1st thing I'll do is greet your fur baby, followed by a treat! I'm a strong believer that this is their time that's why you'll see me taking them to a local park or playing with their favorite toy during our time together. I currently not working so I’ll be home most of the time with your pet! i’m free 24 seven this makes me ideal for all pets especially pets that need high levels of interaction! I have a fenced backyard that your fur baby can play in! I do have two cats. They tend to hide when other people come over, but they’re not reactive.

Kaleigh was an amazing sitter for our dog! She offered a meet and greet prior since it was our first time booking so that everyone was comfortable. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to communicate so we knew exactly what was going on and when. We will definitely be using her again! 100% recommend her for your pets 🫶🏼

FAQs for Dog Walking - Elyria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Elyria is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $21 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 1,639 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Elyria. 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 Elyria. 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 Elyria 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 Elyria. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
