“Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”
About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.
“Allison has been wonderful to work with! She has been walking our two pups for the past few weeks and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they receive! From the start, Allison has been reliable, communicative and a great resource for long work days!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals. From 2019 to 2024, I have trained and cared for my Belgian Malinois, developing strong skills in obedience training, behavior management, exercise routines, and positive reinforcement techniques. I also worked as a Shift Supervisor at a pet store for a year and a half, where I assisted customers with pet care needs, handled and cared for animals, and helped ensure their health and well-being. In addition to dogs, I currently own and care for two reptiles, giving me experience with specialized husbandry requirements, including habitat maintenance, feeding schedules, temperature and humidity monitoring, and general health observation. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience providing basic animal medical care, including administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or injury, and following treatment instructions. My background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care to every pet. My schedule allows me to provide pet care services between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM, seven days a week. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday check-in, feeding, exercise, or an evening visit, I am happy to help. With experience handling dogs of all sizes, basic medical care knowledge, and reptile husbandry experience, I can provide reliable and attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With six years of experience training and caring for my Belgian Malinois, experience handling dogs of all sizes, and a background as a pet store Shift Supervisor, I am confident working with a variety of animals. I also have experience providing basic animal medical care and caring for reptiles. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Leah gave excellent care of my dog, Lacey. Lacey can be hesitant around new people, but Leah was able to encourage her to eat and go for her walk. Leah sent me details and photos from each visit; I felt confident Lacey was in good hands.”
About: I have owned 3 dogs and a cat in my life. My fiancée and I currently own a Siamese cat that we adopted from the OKC Animal Shelter. We previously fostered two kittens. I'm reliable, accountable, and punctual! And above all, I am CPR certified for both humans and animals. You can count on me! I'm currently working part-time, but I will definitely try to work around your needs! I am open to any and all animals! Let me know what availability you have and we can work with that! I do have a cat crate and some cat treats and toys. I do also have dog treats and chew toys. I am very gentle and know how to approach animals in a way that does not make me appear threatening and will earn their trust.
About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! Moving back to Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $60 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost is $80. $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30-45 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $18-20 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too!! As of July 6, 2026 I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. Losing my full time job so after July 5 I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal. I have several years experience with different kinds of animals- including reptiles.
“Christy is fantastic! She jumped right in when I needed someone last minute and I am so happy to have found her. She does very well with my pit bull mix Jameson. He can be difficult sometimes, but Christy seems to take it all in stride.”
“I am so grateful for Reese stepping in after our previous dog walker left unexpectedly. Reese is sweet, attentive, and made the transition completely seamless. Jameson took to her right away and is already looking forward to many more walks with Reese. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.
About: Genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. A teacher on summer break! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide attention, exercise, and companionship. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I prioritize reliability and have some wiggle room in my schedule when needed to ensure pets receive what they need. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and household rules. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor pets for any signs of discomfort or illness, and ensure they always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work to build trust with both pets and their owners.
About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.
“Celine instantly treated my 70 lbs Goldendoodle like he was her own dog. I couldn't be happier with her service, and appreciate her genuine true love for animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, giving me piece of mind. Her communication is outstanding. I highly recommend Celine to anyone seeking top notch care for their pets! 5 Stars all the way!!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job with my two huskies with 19 walks in a week. I needed help with my dogs in a pinch after an urgent back surgery. She sure came through for us. This was our first time using Rover & couldn’t be happier with the service Rachel gave us. She will be our go to dog walker for sure. The dogs & I were always looking forward to seeing her. We’re going to miss her.”
About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…
About: My name is Olivia, I work at an elementary school from August to June. During the summer months I am available for vacation or daily drop ins and walks. I have experience with all dog sizes, ages, and needs. The same goes for cats! My priority is giving your furry best friend the care he or she deserves while you are away, and giving you the peace and security of knowing your baby is being taken care of! I look forward to chatting :) From August to June I work at an elementary school, but might have some availability during the weekends. Feel free to send a request and we can discuss your needs. June and July I am avaliable daily, at almost all times within reason. From the moment I enter your home to the moment I leave, your pet will have my undivided attention. I will make sure to complete all tasks that we agree upon at our meet and greet.
“Kelsey was absolutely awesome with my Jaxx! I was traveling for business and dropped him off at my parents. She was in the area, so I hired her because my parents are older and can’t necessarily exercise him the way that he needs to be. I will hire her again in the future.”

My dog absolutely loves Annalise! Annalise is super dependable, showing up right on time for every walk. She was consistently prompt with getting Ladybug outside for fresh air and exercise while I’m home recovering from surgery and needed an extra hand with my dog! I also appreciated the report updates and photos to describe the walks they went on. I would definitely recommend her, and I know Ladybug will look forward to seeing her again sometime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mentor on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mentor. 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 Mentor. 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 Mentor.
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 Mentor. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
