“Chad is our regular walker and is so attentive to our dog and even our cat when comes every day. He’s dependable, always punctual and very communicative. We 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an occasional or every day caregiver for their fur children.”
“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”
“Ryan was awesome! He was very accommodating with my schedule changes, and Leo was soo happy when he came back from his walks. Will definitely book with him again in the future!”
About: I have had a dog or cat, male & female, most of my life in both urban, suburban, and rural settings. Comfortable with all breeds and needs. I’m not afraid of the dirty work and am not lazy. I will accomodate your needs and follow your instructions verbatim. I will treat your pet as my own. I have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week but I know well in advance what that will be and can control it with adequate notice. I’m gainfully employed already, but recent life changes have left me with additional free time and a need for supplemental income. I truly love animals (just check my Instagram feed...) and can handle anything. I will ensure your furbaby is treated with the same care/love that you would provide he or she.
“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”
About: I’ve been dog walking for almost 9 years. I love what I do. Working with dogs brightens my day. I walk a dog for 40 minutes and then play with them inside for 20. I look forward to meeting your pet and your family. I have been dog walking from 11:00AM-3:00PM Monday through Friday for years. I am really looking forward to adding a new family to my 2:00PM-3:00PM shift and a 9:30AM-10:30AM shift to my morning. When I am caring for a dog I always make sure they are on the leash while outside or in the house with the doors shut.
“Andrea did an excellent job. This was out first meeting and Butter(my dog) had a fantastic time with her. She was on time and friendly with Butter and myself. I’ve already rebooked her to another walk and to take care of him while I’m traveling. Thanks Andrea!”
About: Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends and colleagues have often asked me to watch dogs while they are away. Then walking dogs helped me get through graduate school and now I want to keep it going even as I work as a counselor! I am licensed professional counselor, but when I don’t have a client, I am completely open for things such as watching or walking your pets! I can easily fit that into my schedule. I am a quick learned and will do anything to make sure your pets get to know me and are comfortable! You share how you prefer things to be done and I’ll follow that to a T.
About: My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends for years. Ive had many different pets as a kid such as hamsters, dogs. cats, bunnies and a "miniature" lol (so we thought) potbelly pig. I have done stop in's to feed, let out, walk, overnighters, walks, vet appointments and grooming appointments etc, I am open to help with what you need for your pet. Your pet will always have lots of attention and affection. I am currently working Mon, wed and Friday till 3pm. I have Tuesday and Thursday available as well as weekends free. I can be very flexible. How I love and spoil mine will be how I treat yours! Everything I can do to meet the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and love.
About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!
“Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)”
“Audrey has been absolutely amazing! A true blessing! She worked with our quirky puppy dog. Truly engaged I cannot tell you how amazing she is to work with with. I recommend her wholeheartedly… book with her right now!”
“Jamie found my dog had gotten into chocolate and handled the situation so expertly. Called the vet, called me, and stayed with her until I got home. She is so good with my dog every day and saved her that day. 10/10”
About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
“Holly helped us out two days this week taking Cooper (4 months old) for a walk during lunch. She kept us informed on how he did and we will definitely request her services again!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of tons of furry (and scaly) friends over the years. It warms my heart to provide all that I can for any pet. I have my own babies at home, as well as taking care of friends’ and families’ as well. I would be happy to offer that same care to any pet. Pets are incredibly special and important to me. I take great pride in committing deeply to assuring their safety and care while under my supervision.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was about 15 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience working as a beginner-level dog groomer, which gave me even more hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I eventually left grooming to pursue my career as a CNA, but my love for animals has never gone away. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care\. I understand that every owner has different schedules and needs, and I’m willing to work around those schedules whenever possible\. My flexibility makes me a great fit because I can provide consistent, dependable care without rushing or leaving pets alone for long periods of time\. I’m happy to give each animal the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away\. want every pet and pet owner to feel comfortable and confident when choosing me for their pet’s care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, so I treat every animal with patience, attention, and the same love and care I would want for my own.
About: Growing up around pets, I know how much we all care about these family members so I want to help you feel your most comfortable and confident that your pet will get the best care while you’re gone! I’ve dealt with medically complex pets, both long-term and short, so I am not timid about making sure animals get their necessary care while also keeping their comfort level in mind. I’m comfortable with the spectrum of personality, from lazy bones to high energy and I am looking forward to helping you out! I have a flexible schedule thanks to my contract work with local theaters, so am always available mornings and afternoons. My evening schedule fluctuates depending I offer open communication, so I can update you as much or as little as you’d like! I know that dogs not having their person can be stressful sometimes, so I want to balance that with as much stability as I can provide. My household functions on a morning/evening feeding schedule, but I know every household is different so I’m ready to learn your house’s system!
“Kayla is literally incredible. She’s so kind, she treats my dog with respect. She’s super responsive and willing to go above and beyond. She is our main go to since we’ve moved here to Columbus and I’m extremely grateful for her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minerva Park
We couldn’t be happier with our dog walker! He took the time and patience to help our timid puppy feel comfortable and build trust, which means so much to us. We also love that he uses a clicker to reinforce training and support our pups’ progress. His communication is excellent, and the pictures he takes of our doggos are absolutely phenomenal! It’s clear he genuinely cares about our dogs, and we feel lucky to have found someone so thoughtful, patient, and dedicated. Highly recommend!
Jay has been wonderful with Ozzy on his weekly walks! She’s reliable, patient, caring, and always kept us updated after each visit. We always felt comfortable knowing Ozzy was in good hands with her. We’re very grateful for all the care and kindness she’s shown him and would highly recommend her!

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 Minerva Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
