About: Loving and responsible dog sitter with a passion for caring for furry friends. Experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. Reliable, attentive, and ready to provide your pet with the best care while you're away! Pet care is an amazing outlet to help clear your mind while also contributing to the health for both the pup and I in an enjoyable manor!! :)) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep everything familiar and comfortable for the pet. I provide lots of attention, love, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, making sure they’re safe and relaxed at all times. Cleanliness and a calm environment are priorities, and I communicate regularly with the pet owner to update them on how their pet is doing!!

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.

About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!

About: Being around dogs is something that comes naturally, and making them feel comfortable is always the priority. Time is taken to understand each dog’s personality, whether that means helping a puppy learn or giving a senior dog a slower relaxed walk. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and a little extra love (and probably a few happy tail wags along the way). The goal is always a safe, fun, and stress free experience for every pup 🐾 I’m in my second year of college and working part time job on weekends, so afternoons on weekdays are when I’m most free. Every pet is cared for based on what they’re used to and what makes them feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, routines are followed closely to keep things familiar like feeding times, walks, or play. At home, pets are in a safe calm environment with lots of attention and care. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, they’re always treated with patience and love.

About: Animals bring so much joy to me and help my mental health in so many ways!. i have one dog and two cats, they are my entire world! i’m available mostly on the weekends but some weekdays! i am such a lover for dogs and cats and just being around them makes me happy. My cousin has a dog sitting business and I grew up taking care of animals of all sizes and ages with her! i loved every second of it. being able to come home to some of the cutest dogs or cats would put the biggest smile of my face. Animals are a happy place for me because they always know how to make you smile through the rough days! I’m currently working part time at one job as well as college but my school schedule is mostly two days a week, so i am able to fit pet care into my schedule daily! My schedule varies per day but ask away! I want the pet to be comfortable with me, so i will do what you recommend me to do with your pet and how to make sure it is happy while i’m watching them!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: From a young age, I have always babysat pets for family and family friends! I expanded this experience in college to babysitting pets on a more professional level. I currently have three dogs of my own who I love and adore. I understand not being able to trust just anyone with your babies so please rest assured, I will adhere to every wish you make. I currently work full time 7am-4pm M-F so care for me fits in best during the evenings or I’m totally available on weekends to give my full undivided attention! Sticking to routines is the most important thing to any pet parent. I have experience administering medications, adhering to strict diets, as well as crate training routines. I also have experience with reactive dogs and know the importance of following their guidelines to extreme precision.

About: I love all types of animals! I've had a myriad of animals throughout my life: dogs, cats, fish, and more. I also helped watch my friends' animals and farms whenever they went on vacation. I ready to help provide whatever care your animal(s) require. I work 2nd shift Monday through Thursday, with flexible hours. I'm able to walk and care for animals before work and during my dinner break, as needed. I'm able to maintain whatever routine your animal is accustomed to (walkings, feedings, medication, etc). I know that change and owners being out of town can be hard on many animals, so I try to maintain that level of consistency. I know many good parks and dog parks throughout the Columbus, and surrounding areas that I can take dogs to to enjoy exercise and play.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gillivan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,444 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gillivan. 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 Gillivan. 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 Gillivan 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 Gillivan. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
