About: Hi!! I’m Sarah Pingel and I love animals!! I have a Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute mix named Benny, he’s 6 years old and I love him with all my heart!! I also trained him myself and he can do many things, including knowing his lefts from his rights! I have volunteered at animal shelters for 10+ years, cared for many dogs and cats of all ages, helped train a few of the dogs I watched, and can administer medication. I also have a grooming certificate. Caring for animals is such a passion of mine and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family member! I currently write full time as an author, so I’m home most of the time. Because of this, your furry family will easily fit into my schedule. I have a dog too, so I’m always with him and I will always be around your babies too! My dog is spoiled rotten and I won’t let your furry family feel any less than that!! I will make sure your dog/cat feels safe and loved while their families are away!! I’ll make sure to give them exercise and cuddles until you’re back home with them!!

About: I am reliable and make sure to take care of any individual pet. I love hanging out with dogs, making sure they’re active, happy, and cared for. I have experience in watching dogs over night in their homes, as well check on dogs if their owner are away on vacation. Dogs can get lonely when their owners are away working or traveling, which is why I love to dogsit when needed! I am a full-time college, so weekends including Friday afternoons are my best times. If I have free time when not busy with academics, I can dog sit in the afternoon/evenings. I make sure dogs have food and water! I live in a house with a big yard that is front and back, very spacious for dogs to run around and sniff around!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!

About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have professional animal care and veterinary clinic experience, which allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages and needs. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, anxious animals, kittens, puppies, cats. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always treat pets like family. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic, but I have plenty of room to work with. I am trying to lift up my pet sitting business around this area and soon hopefully I will have enough clients so that I can study while I am in vet school. If you message me about pricing and scheduling and letting me know what exactly you need, I will make sure to make it work. I treat the animals that come into my home like my pets, and I treat the animals. I take care and owners home like it is mine, so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of and you can be at ease when you do boarding in your own home with me. I also include cleaning an errands.

About: I’ve had many animals throughout my life and know that caring for them is my passion. I recently lost my Australian shepherd so this will be filling the void! I’m currently going out for maternity leave at work so my schedule is very open to all the fur babies. Size and breed are not an issue I have a fenced in back yard if that’s what your baby is needing. If they are inside then they are welcome to be a furry couch potato!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens while traveling throughout the South East. I graduated from Auburn in August of 2021 and since then I have been driving everywhere I can to take care of animals in new places. I have loved sitting in the Columbus/Phenix City/Smiths Station area and look forward to taking care of more fur-babies in my area! I would be happy to sit in Auburn or Fort Mitchell as well, anywhere within an hour and I’m sure we can work it out! I have provided care for all kinds of critters, big, little, elderly, sick, grumpy, and silly, (most of them are silly). I strive to be the best provider for your pet-loved ones! Whatever your animal needs, we can figure it out together! My weekly routine will be all over the place this summer, but I look forward to figuring out what will work best for you! Just let me know what you need and we can figure it out together. Sadly, I will be unable to allow pets into my home, but will be happy to commute and care for your pets in their comfort zone!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Girard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Girard. 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 Girard. 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 Girard 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 Girard. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
