“I was in town for a family funeral, and Emily came in clutch! She was so responsive and accommodating. Most importantly, she was wonderful with my pups. I am incredibly grateful to have met Emily. I will totally trust her with my guys when I am back in town. Thank you, Emily!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was old enough to drive. I grew up with a house full of animals and have rescued several animals. My work schedule varies week to week but I can usually make drop ins during the day throughout the week and weekend. I also often teach in the evenings from home. I do my best to communicate with the client to form a plan to best suit every pet and ensure the situation is as low-stress and high-fun for all involved!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I could walk, and I know that every pup has their own unique personality and pace. I’ve had my own dog, Paloma, for five years now, so I’m well-versed in the routine and the responsibility. Whether your dog wants a high-energy trek or just a slow sniff around the block, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ve got a flexible schedule and a very relaxed approach—I’m just here to make sure your dog has a great, stress-free time while you’re busy. I’m currently in a bit of a transitional period with my schedule, which means I have a lot of flexibility to prioritize your dog's needs. Whether it’s mid-day check-ins, afternoon walks, or weekend sitting, I can easily work around your timing. I'm usually around and available to provide consistent care and plenty of attention throughout the week. I’m new to the Ohio area, and am taking my own pup out to explore. I’ll use these experiences to take your pet to fun spaces that they’ll enjoy!

About: I take passion in taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds! I grew up surrounded by lots of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets for many years. I love meeting and getting to know each pet and their unique personality! I volunteered at a dog training center for many years while I was in high school/college. I took pride in helping and interacting with all the pups! I have 4 friendly dogs; one who is Canine Good Citizen certified that I enjoy taking into nursing homes and schools to support and uplift others! I work full-time on Rover during the summer so my schedule is fairly open throughout the week and weekends! I adjust accordingly and am always willing to change my schedule around when I am able! :) I have a fenced in back yard and 4 friendly dogs! I am willing to do whatever is best for your pet(s) so they feel relaxed and cared for in their environment.

About: Hi! I'm Lillie - your pets' new favorite person! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from wild-child puppies who need lots of patience and training, to sweet seniors who need meds, mobility help, and extra snuggles, and everything in between. I'm super detail-oriented about routines, I treat your home with total respect, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to worry while you're away. Whether it's drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I stick to your instructions exactly - feeding, potty schedule, playtime, and all the love they can handle. Your pets will be my #1 priority and I'll be your main sitter and communicator. My partner Justice is occasionally available to help with a walk or check-in if needed (like if I'm already booked nearby), but I'll always clear it with you first. I'd love to meet you and your fur babies! I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to dedicate quality time to pets. I currently have experience caring for my own dog and other family pets, so I’m used to regular feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. Depending on your needs, I can provide daily visits, walks, or overnight care, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of exercise, love, and supervision. I treat every pet in my care as part of my family. In my home or a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund, and we've had tons of cats. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I worked at does dog boarding/daycare/training. I was a kennel tech so I just took care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also took care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers were away. I worked there for over year and loved it, only leaving because I started college and moved away. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really loves my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. And I am a second year student at Muskingum University, I am majoring in Animal Studies in hopes of having an animal conservation related job. I'm a college student and normally drop in between classes and have the rest of the day to tend to pet's. During the summer I am usually employed and work around my schedule At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. I also have my own rabbit, Snoopy, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and am especially comfortable with large breeds including pit bulls, Dobermans, German Shepherds, and huskies. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and staying calm in emergency situations. I’m very attentive to pets and good at noticing when something seems off, and I’m comfortable communicating concerns quickly and getting veterinary care if needed. I will care for your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time as an Operations Manager, but pet care fits easily into my routine! I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I am also available overnights! I make pet care a priority and will always communicate my schedule clearly so your pet gets reliable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive and good at noticing when something seems off, and I will always communicate updates or concerns quickly. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and staying calm in emergency situations if they arise. I will treat your home and pets with the same care, love, and respect I would want for my own. I also know how hard it can be being away from your pet (I’m definitely that pet parent too with my rabbit, Snoopy 😂), so I’m always happy to send plenty of photo and video updates for extra peace of mind!

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 11 and still care for them currently. I have also grown up with my friends dogs, as well as my grandparents dogs. My best friend has two dogs over 100 pounds that I am with often! I have also volunteered at Portage County Animal Protective League back in middle school, where my aunt works. I have also cat sitted for my aunt numerous times! I have nothing but passion and empathy for all animals. :) I am currently a student at Kent State University, and I work part time in retail. I only have classes for a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This schedule will make it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will treat your home with care as if it were my own, as well as your fur babies. To me, animals are family and deserve the best.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Massillon is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $34 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 880 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Massillon. 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 Massillon. 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 Massillon 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 Massillon. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
