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.

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’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: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! Since moving to Columbus, I’ve regularly cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each one. Whether your dog wants a long walk, lots of playtime, or just someone to hang out with and give them plenty of attention, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’m dependable, communicative, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. My goal is simple: keep your dog happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you - and give them a little extra serotonin while I’m at it. Their serotonin boost gives me one too! 🐾 I work from home M/Fri, so depending on the day I am super flexible. I always have a lunch hour, have days with no meetings, and slow days where I’m looking to get some steps in and would love a furry friend to spend that time with! I’m super flexible and even able to do early mornings!😊 For drop ins, I bring a friendly personality, care, and cleanliness to your home. For dog walking, I am able to find the best parks, your neighborhood, or my neighborhood to walk them in!

Leah stepped in to walk my dog while our regular walker was on vacation and she’s awesome! Leah was very communicative, took lots of pictures and was consistent with her timing every day. Our pup LOVED her, and we did too! We will 100% be repeat customers with her and would recommend her to others as well :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in New Albany is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 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.

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 New Albany. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in New Albany 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 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 New Albany. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
