“Kirsten does a great job with my dog. She is consistent, caring and always provides a report regarding distance, poop breaks, etc. My dog is very happy her new sitter and so am I!”
“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.”
“We love having Chad come walk our dog regularly throughout the week. He’s very communicative, dependable, and takes really great pictures of our dog and our kitty when she pops out to say hi. We highly recommend him for any pet sitting/walking needs, he’s been wonderful to us.”
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“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.”
“Our dog Ruby loved her! A well trained professional. Prompt response times. Friendly and kind. I felt as ease knowing Jovonna would take great care of Ruby while my wife and I were at work”
About: One thing that makes me stand out as a good dog sitter is that I always have put the needs of animals ahead of my own. I raised a beautiful golden who had many sicknesses, most relating to her allergies. She had anxiety, and many ear infections, feet infections, an eye infection and once , she got a blood clot in her ear which was very painful and required a lot of meds and TLC. I have an excellent veterinarian who gave us the best care. She got a walk on most days, excluding severe weather days. She got regular brushing, nail clippings, etc. She loved to play with balls and she loved pepperonis her whole life. I have raised several puppies and cared for several senior dogs and just being around animals especially dogs makes me happy. I am a teacher currently and I have evenings, weekends and breaks during the school year and during the summer I have time during the day for the month of June and my schedule frees up starting July and August. I have a fenced in backyard, no animals currently. I have a wonderful place to walk dogs and care for their needs. I love walking .
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.
“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: 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!
About: House with a large fenced in back yard. 2 dogs and a cat in the house that are good with other dogs. Have experience with giving any sort of meds your dog may require. I currently work full time in office but am home by 3 every day. Dogs can be taken on multiple walks around the neighborhood each day or they can enjoy the fenced in backyard. I have a large fenced in yard and also live in a neighborhood that is great for going on long walks. Dogs are allowed on bed and furniture.
“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 did an amazing job! She went above and beyond and our dog absolutely loved her! We absolutely adored all the great pictures she took of their walk together and she was very thoughtful!”
“Hayley was super attentive and all around a great walker for my dog. She did both play and walk with my dog, giving her much needed attention when I was not available. She is quick to respond and gives great updates!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth has cared for my dogs and cat many times over the years! She always goes above and beyond!!!! I highly recommend her! She is responsible.... caring and loves animals! She is 100 reliable!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gahanna
At the last minute I realized that everyone in our household would be working the full day away from home and our pup Joey would need someone to come take him out midday. I reached out to Maddie and she was able to accommodate, even with short notice. She was able to confirm and came and took Joey for a walk in the early afternoon. She gave a detailed summary of her time with Joey as well. I appreciate Maddie for the willingness to help on short notice and the care she gives Joey!
John met us on his own time to get acquainted to the house and acclimated with the dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Gahanna on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,632 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gahanna. 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 Gahanna. 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. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Gahanna.

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 Gahanna. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
