About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, gerbils, and fish! I currently have 2 kitties of my own and was raised with dogs. I’d love to meet and care for your animals while you’re away 😊 I work full time but am available to drop in after 5pm most days, and available for walks on weekends. For new bookings, I ask that requests be submitted 1 week in advance of the drop-in/dog walking date in order to allow time to coordinate a meet and greet. Message me if you need someone urgently during the weekday, I’ll see if I can make it work! I’m a big advocate for playtime! One of the best things for any animal is bonding with their owners. The best way to do this is playtime or simply being in the same room as your pet (whichever they prefer).

About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.

About: I grew up around dogs and have a heart for them. I love them and will take great care of them like I do my own fur baby. They are our family forever!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am teacher, so I am currently on summer break from school. This allows me to have some extra time to walk your dog, check in and let my dog make some new friends with your fur baby! Our fur baby has a crate and a warm, loving home where she is spoiled rotten! I would do the same for your pup to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.

About: From the time I was a child, my heart has always belonged to animals. Whether it was rescuing injured birds, feeding stray cats, or gently caring for lost pets until they found their way back home, I’ve always felt like their protector. My compassion has always shined through very instinctively to understand their needs and see their worth, no matter how small. Over the years, that love for them has only deepened turning simple acts of kindness into a lifelong devotion to giving animals safety, comfort, and love. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion, and has always felt like my calling in life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while they are in my home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where animals are always supervised, treated with care, and made to feel right at home. I follow any routines, feeding instructions, and special needs you share. I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. With a secure space, lots of love, and close attention, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, protected, and always well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. I plan my schedule around feeding times, play, exercise, litter or potty breaks, and quiet companionship so each pet receives consistent, attentive care. Because caring for animals is part of my regular routine, I’m able to provide dependable supervision, follow established schedules, and respond quickly to pets needs. This steady presence helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while they are in my care. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and close attention, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, clean, and calm environment where they are supervised, kept comfortable, and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to help pets feel secure and stress free. I respect each pet’s unique needs, personality, and preferences, and I communicate with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for wherever they are.

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 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 Garfield Heights 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 Garfield Heights. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

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.
