About: I have been helping care for my beagle, Chance, for 9 years. I have taken care of dogs while babysitting. I know how to prepare food, control a tugger of a dog on walks, and give pets the love they deserve. My own beagle is somewhat disabled with full use in only 3 legs. My experience is in dogs, but I also love kitties. I am available to for work Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends all day. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday I have an internship until 3pm. Thursdays are available from 4pm-midnight. Monday and Tuesday are available from 4pm-6pm. All care will be done within clients house, with the exceptions of walks or dog parks. I am also available to drive your fur babies if necessary. I will always check the water dish and feed on time.
About: For years I’ve walked, fed, and played with peoples pets in the times they need some extra help! Hoping to help you the same way!

“Kathleen was amazing! My very shy dog immediately loved her. Great communicator, very punctual and treated my dog with so much care! Would highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Kennedy was great! She was very easy to communicate with and our dog loved her! She was very prompt and reliable. I wish she was staying in Athens after graduation!”
About: I currently work at an emergency ER for animals, so have experience with many different types of dogs . I have also taken care of my own dog, walked other people dogs, and have experience working with puppies. I am currently in college and love working with dogs so I would love to drop in or walk dogs! I am also majoring in animals sciences so anytime time to be with pets is great! I have been in other peoples homes taking care of other people cats and dogs and I will respect everything in their home. Since I’m in college I will not be able to keep dogs at my home.
About: Lifelong dog lover and reliable walker with hands-on experience caring for many dogs, including my own, Ziggy and June. I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for on every walk. As a teacher on summer break, I have open and flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, responsive, and excited to spend my summer staying active and caring for dogs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, friendly environment where dogs feel secure, cared for, and loved, while making sure every walk and visit is safe, attentive, and fun.
“Christi is wonderful with Buster. I could not be more pleased. He loved her from the first moment they met. She is very caring and gentle and has a tremendous intuition for him. ❤”
About: I have 10+ years experience of pet sitting. I’ve pet sat for dogs, cats and reptiles! There isn’t a single animal I wouldn’t be happy taking care of. As of now I have any and all open availability. Give me a time and how often I need to check on your fur baby and I’ll be there. I have 3 cats myself but they all get along with dogs and also have their own cat room if they needed to be put up. If I need to go to a clients home I am more than happy to stay over if/when needed. I do have a dog park at my apt which is very big and isn’t used much. I go on walks everyday so having a companion to take with wouldn’t be too bad!
About: I grew up with a large golden retriever and small mixed terrier for 10+ years until I went to college. I have just graduated college. I am not able to get a pet of my own yet, but I would love to help you with yours. I LOVE dogs. I have a huge heart and lots of patience for any breed. (Updated: May/June 2026) I am a teacher, so I have summers completely off, and I get home early on school days. I am already a very active person who goes outside to run or walk every day, so adding in your dog is perfect and enjoyable for both of us! I typically go for a run/workout for about 2 hours in the morning in the summers, but am free to be with your dog the rest of the day (Updated: May/June 2026) Located in New Albany/Westerville area. While I live in an apartment, we have 2 dog parks, lots of open grass, and I am always looking for an excuse to go to the 6 minute drive park with a dog walking trail near me or one near you. Your pet would love it! I am willing to do a meet & greet ahead of time. For safety reasons, I am only willing to care for 1 dog (or 2 from the same family) at a time. I am happy to send several updates/photos per day as you desire to confirm your pet’s health and happiness.
About: I’m a nurse that loves to be around animals on my days off. Playing and taking care of animals just brings so much joy. I just love all fur babies :) I am a nurse so my schedule is not consistent but since I have four days off a week, I can try and be flexible! Animals like to be sneaky so I make sure they can’t sneak out the door when I open it and don’t get stuck in any cabinets inside

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 for Dog Walking in New Albany on Rover is $18.87 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 2,634 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Albany. 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 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 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 New Albany.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 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.
