“Celine did an amazing job with our dog, Honey! She was on time, easy to communicate with, and was super sweet with our dog! Would defintely recommend. Thanks, Celine!”
About: I have grown up with animals and am an animal lover by nature. I have house sat for several families, having experience with multiple dog homes, cats, and birds. I have provided cared for rambunctious puppies and kittens as well, and I love to meet new furry friends! Currently my schedule for the summer I will be working out of the home from the times of 8:30 AM to 5:00PM three days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. When I pet sit I prioritize being there for the pets as much as possible so that your animals can receive the love and care they deserve! I am comfortable leashing and walking dogs, even ones that pull. If I do leave during the day I like to crate the dogs I watch so they have a safe space when I’m gone, and I make sure to keep the floor clear of any hazards that could cause a potential problem.
“Molly has been so great for my dogs! She does a great job with my “problem” golden, Bella. I love the detailed report cards. It’s been such a relief for me to have her when I travel for work. She is Highly recommended.”
“Randy walked my dog today, and I have to say I was nothing more than impressed. I got multiple pictures and constant communication. I really appreciate Randy walking my dog in the time that I needed. I will be reusing Randy’s services whenever I need someone to walk my dog that I can trust. Thank you, Randy.”
About: In your absence, I will treat your pet as a member of my family. He/she will be as important to me as they are to you! I have rescued and cared for pets of all types for friends and family. I am a lifelong animal lover, and this is something that I truly enjoy doing. I have had pets my entire life from cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and even a baby lamb. Separating from your pets can be a difficult time when you are trusting their care to another individual. I will fill the gap for you while you are gone, with consistent reliable care. I am able to administer medication, walk/exercise your pets or just visit and play with them. I will keep you updated, if so desired. While you are gone, it is my goal, to allow you to rest easy, knowing that they will have daily loving care. I am currently working from home part time and i am able to make my schedule weekly. I will set my schedule around the needs of your pet. If there are any fluctuations (scheduled appointments) during my time with your pet, you will know in advance I care for my clients pets with the same love and attention that I care for my own . Each animal has its own likes , dislikes and routines. It is my job to meet the needs of that pet on the schedule that they are used to. When I am caring for somebody else’s pet, it is my top priority to make sure that they are cared for the same way you do. Separation can difficult for them too, I will ease that as much as possible by providing what they need.
“Christy has walked our two rotties a couple times now and will definitely continue to use her in the future! She is very easy to communicate with and often times is available last minute. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 38 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old cat. I had 2 dogs over the course of almost 19 years (12 years old and 16 years old when they passed). I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I work from home full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes at least once a day.
“We’ve had Reese come and walk our dogs a few times and will continue to request her! Very good communication and I know our Rotties are very well taken care of under her care! She’s saved us a couple times with very last minute requests as well! Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a 2 year old cat named Milo. I’ve helped friends and family watching their pets while out of town for over 10 years. I am currently working part-time, so I can be flexible with your schedule. Please contact me for more details. I am frequently available 9 AM - 5 PM M-F, and most weekends too. I will follow your instructions to the best of my ability and give frequent photo and text updates! I have experienced many different personalities and will make sure you come home to a happy buddy!
“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. When a couple of years ago we lost our senior family dog, I started volunteering with a local rescue and have fostered 20+ puppies over the past few years. Fostering has given me experience with everything from energetic, playful pups to post-surgery care—things like baths, basic grooming, medications (even injections), vet pickups, and lots of patience and love. I also help neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I truly just love being around dogs—and getting outside for walks is a bonus for me too! I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins during the week. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, or multiple visits if needed. I’m also happy to stick to your dogs’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and check-ins, I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on leash, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own.
About: I have walked dogs ever since I was little. I have also always been trusted to dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I take caring for pets very seriously because they are my favorite too! I’m a recent college grad looking to provide pet care! I’m available pretty much any day of the week. I have a friendly dog and can take walks and play. I also am going into training so I might practice or work with any pets if possible! For now I just offer house sitting or drop in visits for walks or other needs. I love a good play time in or outdoors and go on walks.
About: I attended BGSU, studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigation.I am a very outgoing, friendly, and loving person. I recently adopted my cat Gummy. Previously I’ve taken care of my aunt’s 5 dogs (2 of which are seniors) and 1 cat. I am very familiar with animal medications including: pill pockets, ear cream, topical skin cream, and liquid medicine. My cat Gummy has Stomatitis and Stage 2 Kidney Disease so I’m familiar with having to give gabapentin as well as other medicine. I understand the importance of animals who have medical needs and schedules. I love providing the care your fur babies need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,234 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gates Mills. 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 Gates Mills. 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 Gates Mills.

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 Gates Mills. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
