“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
About: I’ve cared after dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! I have spent extra time with puppies, I could help in teaching various tricks and obedience behaviors using balanced training. I also have a knack for cooperative care training, if your dog requires any special kind of attention. Anxious and nervous dogs hold a special place in my heart, nothing is more rewarding than watching them break out of their shell. Dogs rule my life, I like it that way. I myself get the zoomies and have the energy to burn your pup out!! My home can accommodate any needs, as well as I. Busy schedule? No sweat, consider me a body double! I have three well socialized and friendly dogs to keep yours company if they want it. I also have crates, if your dog prefers some independence. I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of yard to run on. I keep a very structured routine and max play groups at 4 dogs. The perfect home if your dog cannot tolerate high volume facilities.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Raised from a puppy to senior and believe they are wonderful blessings to everyone. My personal pets have been pugs, English bulldogs, dachshunds, rottweilers, pit bulls, and many more growing up. I enjoy getting to know each dog or cat’s need and have them enjoy their time with me. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable when you are away from home. I work remotely and letting your dog out often is never an issue. If I’m out on Saturday or Sunday it’ll only be for an hour or two. We will take breaks often to let your dog feel comfortable. When I am caring for your pet in your home, I want to know their preferences and what makes them the most comfortable while you are away. If they have a special blanket or toy, please let me know so they can have something to keep them happy while I’m there. I also want to know what makes you as the pet parent most at ease. Help me support you and your pet.

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!
About: Hello, I grew up with a houseful of pets and now I am an owner to 3 small dogs and 3 kitties. As a mom to four daughters and six pets, I understand the stress of trying to plan a vacation away from home. I have dealt with my share of good and bad Pet Sitters over the last few years. I am 41 years old and have strong moral values and am very compassionate/ empathetic to all people and I feel that it is important to say about my character in these wild, uncertain modern times. I do have a full-time job that is 100% remote and very flexible in my daily schedule. I would like to meet new local families and help provide reliable, trustworthy care for your beloved pets! I have a fully remote, flexible schedule. My kids do not play any sports so I don’t have extra curricular activities to attend regularly. I’m hoping to find people in my area or surrounding neighborhoods. I am not ready to board in my home since it is a full house here with four kids, three dogs and 3 cats but I have the freedom and ability to come to your home, let your pets outside, feed them, give medicine, take a walk and give lots of pets and belly rubs.
About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I am currently between jobs and do not have anything interfering with my schedule. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.

I myself have a fenced in yard, but I am comfortable with non yard homes, walking dogs, going to a dog park, groomers, providing medicine and cuddles.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,476 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lockbourne. 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 Lockbourne. 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 Lockbourne.
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 Lockbourne. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
