About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds for as long as I can remember. I've seen them through all stages of life, from helping a female delivery pups, training young puppies, to end-of-life care for dogs of family and friends and everything in between. I've cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards, fish, and horses. I now have 3 babies of my own, two of the human kind. My fur baby is Lex. He's an 8 year old mixed breed I rescued when he was just 8 weeks old. He's grown up with my youngest and is very much part of our family. I can't wait to meet your furry (or scaled) friends and love on them like they're family too! My schedule is flexible and changes week to week. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so that’s the best place to check my availability. I especially love regular weekly walks and give those clients first priority when I plan my schedule. If you’re looking for a consistent midday walk or a set routine, I’d love to talk. Need something last minute? Send me a message. I’ll do my best to fit you in. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I do my best to stick to their normal routine so the day feels familiar while you’re away. Walk or drop-in? Here’s how to choose: Drop-in visit: Your dog has a fenced yard where I can let them out for potty breaks. I’ll also handle feeding, fresh water, meds, and some cuddle time. Walk: Your dog needs to be leashed for potty breaks, or you want them out for exercise. Even if it’s just a quick trip around the block, a leashed outing is booked as a walk. Not sure which fits? Send me a message and we’ll figure it out together.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have developed a genuine love for caring for them! From little Dachshunds and Cockapoos to larger Borderdoodles, I've had experience with dogs ranging from 12 to 50 pounds. I've cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and training levels, including those who are fully potty trained and those who are still learning! Being a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, giving lots of attention, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy it all! I'm patient, attentive, and more than happy to accommodate each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels just as loved, safe, and comfortable with me as they do at home! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets! As a dog owner myself, pet care has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company.

About: Animal lover since birth, caregiver for about 10 years. I love to spend time with animals! I have 2 dogs currently who I love so much. Your pets will be in good hands and I will treat them as if they were my own. Currently: I have open availability. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate for last minute changes. Please let me know at least 1 day ahead of time if there are any major changes. I have 2 adorable puppies who I adore with all my heart. We have a fenced in yard big enough for both, and we love to go for daily walks. For my senior dogs, I make him homecooked with kibble meals due to dietary restrictions. Every pet parent knows what works for their pets best, and I hope to uphold that. I believe all animals are special and I hope the care for my own pets can reflect in the care I will provide for your animals. 🫶

About: I love pets!! My kids make fun of me because I would likely have a zoo if I had enough time and resources. So, since I can’t love on all them as my own, let me temporarily love on yours while you are away. I currently own 2 Shiba Inus named Murray and Mira, who are extremely friendly with other dogs, and 2 cats who think they are dogs. I am constantly pet sitting for my friends and neighbors. From my girlfriend and her diabetic cat to my buddy with a rambunctious Aussie to the rescue foster who is scared of her own shadow. These are just some examples of my experiences caring for pets. I have a nice, fenced yard in a safe neighborhood and a welcoming home to accommodate pet sitting as needed. Help me fund my own time away and/or building a fund for my next furry family member. ;) I currently work from home and have flexible schedule. I prefer in home boarding during weekdays, but could do in home care if within 10 minutes driving or on weekends. I am open minded to your care needs. I typically walk 3 miles a day, so I’m happy to go on a nice walk with your best friend.

About: Ever since I was young we’ve always had beautiful dogs for pets. That continued throughout our marriage and as we grew as a family. Retired and miss my companion. I’m hesitant to foster because I know I’ll end up falling in love with another fur baby. Trustworthy and loving. As I’m retired now, I’m looking to fill that void in my life since we lost our last pet. Flexible and trustworthy. Lots of love to give. Ha! Our house is there house! I miss walking our dog and always kept him on schedule. Never was one to give excessive treats but lots of attention.

About: One of my great friend's has a mini zoo that includes 2 dogs (a boxer and a 2 year old akbash!!) , 2 cats, a turtle, a lizard and now 3 ferrets. So I can handle a dog or two! She has gone on vacation twice and i've handle the bunch with no problems. I have my own dog (sharpei mix) and I love taking her on adventure time. I do enjoy walk/runs because a healthy dog is a happy dog! I have also taken care of a dragon, feeding him was an experience. Other than that I believe dogs deserve 100% attention and a puppy latte every now and again. I do like to document my experiences with Snapchat or instagram and share with owners...not my actual page, I use those platforms for the filters lol.

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: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.

About: Hi there! My name is Kyra and I just moved back to the area after spending the last 3 years in Virginia. Animals are, and always have been, a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats, and had such a passion for horses that I decided to go to college to study- you guessed it- horses. I can’t imagine my life without animals, which is why I decided to do Rover in my free time. As a helicopter parent of a dogs and two cats, I completely understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave your pets behind while you’re out of town. I make sure to go above and beyond for my clients, I want their pets to feel as though they’re on vacation too! Refer to my reviews for honest feedback from some of my wonderful clients. 😊 Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a service. Thank you so much for stopping by, I look forward to hearing from you! It’s important to me to keep my pets or the pets in my care in a routine, as it helps keep myself in a routine as well. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have plenty of water available at all times. My pets are rarely left alone, if I can bring my dogs along then they’re coming with me! I also make sure to spend time with my animals and my clients. I make sure that everyone feels comfortable and everyone is on the same page.. I would only want the same for my pets if someone else was watching them.

Rachel did a great job walking Rebel! She was patient with his stubbornness about going out in the rain and even made sure he wore his raincoat & dried him off after. She also ensured he had fresh water after each visit and was very communicative throughout. I’d happily recommend Rachel and book her again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hilliard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hilliard is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hilliard. 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 Hilliard. 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 Hilliard 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 Hilliard. 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.
