I couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk my high energy pup. Great communication, flexibility in availability, competent and skilled in the management of my pup which gives me such comfort in knowing that my pup is being cared for at the highest possible level by such a pleasant, friendly and warm hearted person such as Alexis and my pup absolutely looks forward to his time with her.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life that have and are living great long and fulfilling lives. I treat animals well with great care and respect and even had the opportunity to nurse a baby squirrel back to health I’m working part-time and will be visiting your little family member and be able to give them one on one attention give them walks feed them and an occasional treat and play. I understand what it’s like to have a hyper lazy or in between dog so I can handle any situation and treat them as I would my own with love care and respect. I like to set a very comfortable environment for an animal I’m working with to get them to understand that I’m a friend and someone who is here to care so I like to set those boundaries and understanding of what makes them comfortable and listen to their body language. I like to build trust in my relationships with positive enforcement and trust.

About: I have been working with animals professionally since 2012. I started off as a kennel assistant for a groomer and eventually became a groomer myself in 2014. My care and quality is unmatched. As a groomer of 10+ years, I can also can provide grooming services at an additional price which can be discussed when booking. I have also provided dogsitting and dog walking services when I lived in Fort Riley, KS. I have a full time job as a groomer but I am able to provide services on my days off and after work. I accept any animals, from dogs to cats and even exotics. Leashes are a must if there is not an adequate fence installed. This is for your pet's safety as that is my number one concern. If there is an adequate fence I have no issue letting your pet run around until their heart is content (weather permitting).

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have worked at several different small animal veterinary clinics as well as one animal shelter/ rescue. I believe people have an innate responsibility to pets in the same way that we have an innate responsibility to each other. I consider humane treatment of domesticated animals to be part of the social contract. They don't (usually) choose to be our pets, so it's on us to make sure they have the best lives we can. I also love being physically active all day. I am happiest when I am clocking 25k+ steps per day, so let me spend a few thousand of those steps with your dog. I am fortunate enough to be supported by my partner while I go back to school, and I am not taking summer classes so currently I am fully available to spend time with your pets. I have plenty of experience working with pets, and my philosophy has always been when I am around or handling other people's pets, that I treat them as if they are my own. My partner and I are unable to have children, so our pets are pur immediate family. I understand that pets are not property. They are family. Also, because of my veterinary medical background, I am very strict about what I feed my own pets, and I will always defer to you on how you would like your pets to be handled, treated, fed and rewarded. I use crates, but if you don't, that's great. Whatever works for your family. I don't give my pets cheese or people food very often, but if you wanna do that for your baby, I will happily give them their favorite snack. I don't tell other people how to parent their kids, and I respect however you choose to run your household.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for about 7 years! I have always had pets of my own, including both dogs and cats! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and many breeds, as I worked at Fetch Park for over a year. I have experience with caring for elderly pets, as well as rambunctious puppies. I would love to meet your four legged friend! I’m currently a student at the University of Georgia, but will be home in Columbus for the summer! I have large gaps in my schedule that allow me to take care of pets throughout the day! I always ensure that dogs are securely on a leash when outside of the house or fenced yard. I do not bring food into the pet’s home and make sure to follow any dietary/feeding instructions set by the owner. I do not take phone calls or answer text messages while taking care of pets, unless I am communicating with their owner.

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!

About: I love pets with all my heart. I have two mini golden doodles right now but I want to grow my pet family later. I enjoy spending quality time with my pets, playing with them, watching movies with them, they are basically by my side all the time and your pets will never be out of my sight and will for sure have an amazing time and be safe with me! I am pretty open with my schedule at the moment and I am free whenever you may need me to watch your dog. I’m currently in online school to become a CMA so it works well with me dog sitting. It all depends on what my client would want for the pet. In my opinion every pet needs a different type of care of other pets. My doodles are very outgoing they love to play until they get tired but they always need to be by someone because they have desperation anxiety. So it’s a matter of listening to the owner and getting a understanding of what there pet is like and needs

About: I have taken care of animals since the age of 12. I have experience with a wide range of pets including ,but not limited to cats, horses, small dogs ranging from chihuahua, Yorkie, and pomeranian. To larger dogs like German shepherds, Rottweiler, pitbulls, and great Pyrenees hurding dogs. I also have a history of equestrian work with horses so it's made it easier to handle larger dogs. All pets deserve to be pampered and treated like family. Every time no excuse. I am a stay at home mom so I have no schedule to work around. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How each pet is treated will heavily depend on the owners wants and the pets needs. I will do my absolute best to keep any discussed expectations met. And I will always make sure I do what I can to help the pet have fun and be safe and comfortable. And for house sitting my goals are to meet all expectations discussed before hand and make someone's life just a bit easier .

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!

Tatum is amazing! My pup and I just moved to the area and I was so nervous about her adjusting to a new place and not having my family around to help take her out and go on walks during the day. Tatum helped ease all of those worries. She provides incredible updates with the cutest photos. The best of all is that my dog absolutely loves her and is always excited to see her. She’s made being in a new place so much easier!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, but i also have experience with birds, snakes, rats, and rabbits. I’m also known as a cat whisperer and I use to walk dogs for a boarding facility. I also have fostered neonate kittens and waking up at odd hours to take care of a pet isn’t new to me. Pet care takes up most of my time in my home considering we have so many. It’s a lot of work but I don’t mind doing it I take care of my own animals every morning and night constantly. In the morning I’m use to feeding and snuggling my birds and letting them have free time in their own room. Of course take my dog on a walk and potty. I have an automatic litter robot for my cats but have years of litter scooping under my belt.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Girard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 568 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 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 Girard.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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.
