About: I have been rescuing cats and other animals for over 15 years and work with my neighbors to try and find homes for them. We have always had dogs and cats. I love animals and have lots of love and attention to give! Since my husband passed away in 2010, I have spent time traveling and I have time on my hands to work on my garden and house and read. I love the company of animals and I feel they like me too! I am a very organized person and try to provide a sense of a schedule for the pets as well. I think it helps everyone to be flexible but not in the areas that matter like going outside and the feeding schedules! No pitbulls, and no mixed breeds with pitbulls please. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I provide a loving, nurturing environment. I can take your pet after 2 pm! I have a fenced in back yard. I will provide exercise and plenty of fresh water and opportunities for potty breaks! Daily walks as well!

“My dog looked forward to his walks with Brittany. We think he really misses his walks with her. Brittany helped us walk our dog daily while my parents were watching my dog for 10 days. She was great with communication, reliable and great with my dog. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”

About: I have always volunteered at the Elyria and Cleveland APL and I’m doing this because I genuinely care for all animals. I like to go for hikes, walks and runs in the metro parks. If you’re comfortable with that I’d be willing to take your dog/dogs. I’m willing to work with what ever makes everyone comfortable! I have a large fenced in yard and 1 neutered 8 year old labradoodle lives in my home permanently. I work from home so there is plenty of time for me to spend with the pets. My husband and I are high energy and always going for walks and hanging out outdoors! I have a fenced in yard and 4 fur babies of my own to keep your dogs safe and having a great time! I work from home, so I’m always around to play with and take care of the pups!

“Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats almost my whole life. I have dropped in to feed my grandmas dogs and my aunts dogs plenty of times. Right now I am looking to have this as my full time job because I love feeding and taking care of animals. When i am around them it makes me happy! I live in a apartment on the 7th floor so it would be kinda difficult to bring other animals here and I also have a cat that doesn't like other animals. I can take care of animals at my mothers house with no problems.

About: I've had experience with pets since I was young. I've worked at a dog daycare in the past. I have had my own dogs and cats. Currently, Rover and your pets are my main priority. My schedule is flexible to allow time to care for your pets and their needs. Being able to keep their routine the same is important to me. At my apartment, I have 2 cats, who are well taken care of. Last year, my 18 year old chihuahua, Chi Chi, who is pictured with me, passed away. I miss her so much. I have not been able to get another dog yet and would love to be able to help out with your dogs and pets in the meantime. She was my world and was treated like the queen she was. You know the chihuahua breed, lol I am trustworthy and put God first in my life.

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

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 Lorain. 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 Lorain 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.

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.

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.
