Janet always goes above and beyond for my dog Jenny. Whether it’s refreshing her water, or wiping her down after a rainy walk. I know I can always count on Janet to keep my dog safe and happy.

Megan is so sweet, and my dog loves her. She is so attentive to my dog’s needs as an older dog and always sends me the sweetest pictures and updates from their walks together. I feel very safe having Megan care for my dog when I’m gone.

About: Ever since I was in middle school, I have volunteered at the food bank, senior homes, elementary schools, preschools, and taking care of pets. I am well-versed in handling numerous conflicts. I am currently a new grad, whose job is summer based and am looking to be busy during the winter and spring months. I will be picking up subbing soon, but that is earlier in the day. I am comfortable with caring for pets however their family see fit. It is always important to keep pets in a routine and to follow instructions. I have no issues with implementing them.

About: I am a current student at the Ohio State university as an animal science and vet technician student. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and ensure to extend the same care that I have for the animals I treat with your pets! I have worked with small companion animals numerous times as well as large animals so my skills are varied to work with changing circumstances! I also have experience with working with older dogs as I had an older dog for a long time. I am college student attending summer classes so I do have a time confinement in the mornings of some weekdays but I am free for weekends, afternoons, and evenings! A flexible schedule that can work for everyone and ensure comfort for your pet! I have a small unfenced front and backyard in a small, quiet neighborhood. I do not have any other animals in my home so I will ensure the comfortability and safety of your dog(s). I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

About: Yes it's been awhile but I'm back! I take care of pets like they're my children because they're the same in my eyes. Sweet & cuddly needing to be nurtured with compassion & great care. I've owned plus taken care of several pets including my dog for 10+ Years, my sister dog from pup to senior, and my beautiful feral cat of 4 years whom passed away. Throughout the years I've volunteered assisting with cats waiting to be adopted through cleaning, grooming, feeding, and companionship. My heart desire since childhood has always pulled towards owning a pet sanctuary to foster and take care of stray animals. That is my goal within the next 5 years ! **Please don't hesistate to ask for an agreeance on flare rate if you feel my price is too high. I'm a mom of 3 but also still have a heart to extend understanding to pet parents as well Right now in this summer season my schedule is open and flexible to become acquainted with the fur babies of earth until I return to Puerto Rico A fun fact about me is I'm a master reiki practitioner which is also known as an energy healer with practices of shamanism. This info is for anyone who resonates with this and would like care to their pet in that capacity. With given permission and consent ! I have open and flexible availability for the remainder of summer season providing an arrange of services. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family I care for pets as if they were mine and follow given routines or schedules if that is what's requested or in simply go with the flow providing my care, attention, and love. Just as people have boundaries I understand pets do as well and will respect that by observing body language.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Garfield Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Garfield Heights on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,491 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Garfield Heights. 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 Garfield Heights. 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 Garfield Heights.

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 Garfield Heights. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
