About: I’ve taken care of pets for family friends and colleagues since high school. I love to go on long walks, runs and play around in parks or backyards. I’m currently work in before and after school care so I am free 9:30am-3 pm on weekdays but I am happy to do check up’s early in the morning and late in the evenings. On Saturday’s I’m free all day except for 8-2 and Sundays I am free all day. In clients homes I will care for your pets in anyway they need whether that is cuddling inside all day or playing in the backyard. On walks I will ensure the safety of your pet by double checking the leash/harness and catering the walk to their liking.

About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving, and safe environment that mirrors your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention, play, and a cozy spot to relax. I always prioritize cleanliness, safety, and comfort, making sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: Hello there! I’m an Otterbein alumni and will graduate from Medical school at Ohio University in spring of 2025. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. Growing up, we had multiple dogs and cats of various breeds and personalities! I know that each dog is unique and have different needs and routines! I have a fenced backyard so your pup can run and play as much as they would like! I’m currently on break from medical school, so I have a lot of free time at home to play with your pups or come by for a walk! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly labradoodles that love to play with other dogs. If your dogs are playing outside in the fenced yard, I will always be out there with them! I got my dog, Luna, midway through college as an emotional support animal and she means the world to me and I know your dog means the world to you as well, so I’ll always take good care of them!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

About: I’ve had family dogs around since I can remember. Growing up I had several smaller pets as well, and now I have my own cats. From ages 17-20 I worked at Pet Palace, where I took on the many responsibilities of pet boarding. I cleaned up after, fed, watered, walked, bathed, and comforted so many lovely dogs and cats throughout my time there. I loved the fast paced environment that was required in order to make sure the furry friends got all they needed to be comfortable while they were away from home. I’m working part time at a flower shop, but am looking for some winter fun! I’m available every afternoon of the weekdays, and mornings on tuesdays and thursdays I always love to give them a second to get to know me! Then once we’re comfortable I begin to check on their belongings and make sure they have all that they need while you’re away.

About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 24 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Im currently attending online school and I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!

About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Darby is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 2,474 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Darby. 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 Lake Darby. 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 , 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 Lake Darby 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Darby. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
