About: I've assisted in taking care of my parent's dogs for years, from a grumpy old man dog to a chaotic 6 week old puppy, whether that be playing, making food, going for walks, and cleaning up accidents. I also have experience with provided medicine as needed. I am very flexible with timing as long as I know a week prior, but if it's short notice, I am mainly available in the mornings up until noon. I make sure to play, regularly let them go to the bathroom outdoors, feed them at appropriate times and if they want their space then I respect them.
“Leah is wonderful with my pup! She's reliable, accommodating, and treats my dog so well. I love her updates after each walk too. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect walker for their pup!”
About: I have had many pets since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and know how difficult it can be to find a good pet sitter. I have been a sitter for cats and dogs in many different capacities, from walking dogs, to taking care of cats over their owner’s long vacations. I am able to walk any sized dog, play with them, and feed and clean up after them. I am able to feed and clean up after cats, and play with them also. I have the skills it takes to give animals their time to warm up, and understand the signs of illness or distress. I work very part time, so I am available every day of the week with only a few hours away from home per week. I have a pretty open schedule. I work part time in the evenings, and can arrange plenty of time during the week for pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 3 well behaved dogs. I also love walking dogs and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy.
“Janet was quick to make friends with my dog, and their walks together are quickly becoming an event my dog looks forward to. I am beyond pleased. So much so that we’ve booked the next month.”
About: I was raised in a home of 11 cats for most of my childhood. I've learned to love all animals in the course of my years. Now, anytime I see an animal in distress I want to help it. I am truly passionate about animals and their well-being. I love the idea of providing love and care for pets when people are busy or away. I've helped many past friends take care of their dogs and they've taught me a lot. I have been wanting to become a pet watcher and pet walker ever since the beginning of 2023. Until now I didn't realize there was a platform for this. I am truly excited to start helping the pet community. I always ask questions and make sure that the little furry ones get all the love and attention they possibly can. I will pet, feed, and take care of your animals like they belong to me.
About: Hi! I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience through Rover and 3 years of professional dog daycare experience. I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine. I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with pets requiring extra care, including administering medications, insulin injections, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I’m also familiar with different breeds, temperaments, and behaviors, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with the same patience and care I’d give my own. I provide regular photo updates and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and give both you and your pets peace of mind! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.
“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”
“We keep going back to her. Katherine always treats our pets kindly and updates us with lots of pictures. She even helped to clean up messes our puppy made during her visit. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I've cared for pets for years, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I love going on walks and enjoy a good amount of play time. Whether it’s a high energy dog or a senior, I adjust my care to fit their personality. I have a relaxed work from home environment that allows me the flexibility to attend and care for your pet. There will be no lack of attention when they're in my care. I allow dogs the freedom to roam my home and yard as long as they're well mannered. If not, then I have a gated and fenced area for them to roam in.
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and truly love being around them. I’m experienced with different pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, patient and will treat your pet as if it were my own. Ps. I also work night shift so I am okay with late night drop ins and etc! Flexible schedule with plenty of time for visits, feeding, and play. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can adjust times to fit your cat’s routine and needs. I’m attentive and gentle, always prioritizing safety and comfort. I respect your home and your pet’s routine, keeping everything consistent, clean, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I had a family dog, black lab, for over 10 years. I enjoyed caring and loving "Ranger" and understand they need attention just like people daily. I am able to discover any pets personality and adjust and assist to make sure the environment is a happy safe one. I have never been a dog walker, but I have taken care of a few pets while babysitting for my neighbors in the community for 4 years. Again, thing care of any pets in or outside the home makes me happy. I am eager to start my first task at taking care of another extended family member. I am an outgoing and positive energy person that will be well fit for a fun loving pet in the family.
About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!

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 Middleburg Heights. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
