Autumn did a great job caring for my two dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and has several medical problems. Autumn was very capable and comfortable with this. I will definitely trust her again in the future with my fur-babies.

Isabel was very flexible. My address was in rover incorrectly and she made the effort to still complete the walk with my dog. Not to mention she also grabbed our package from our old apartment. She went above and beyond.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

About: Over the course of my childhood, my family and I never had less than 2 dogs at a time. I have dog sat a handful of times, both for multiple nights or just fun play dates! I offer gentle, loving, and smiley fun for your awesome dog! I want you and your dog(s) to feel confident that I am a safe, kind choice! I am pursuing my doctorate’s in Occupational Therapy at OSU! I am free Friday and Saturday, with occasional class requirements. These are great days for me to care for your dog! While I won’t be offering services at my apartment, I believe in safety, love, and respect for you and your pets while I care for them. It can be scary trusting your dog with someone new, but by growing up with many dogs myself I can assure you that I embody those beliefs in my care.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently working part-time (7-3 Friday through Sunday), so I have a free schedule during the week to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available afternoons Friday-Sunday for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m not working a traditional 9–5 at the moment, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, visits, and quality time based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day and making sure every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I prioritize safety, supervision, and routines, provide calm secure environments, respect clients’ homes, and communicate regularly so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and owners feel confident.

About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

Thank you, AJ! The weather was impeding the sidewalks in my neighborhood and AJ was able to take him to a nearby park as I had suggested which was super nice of them and great for Porkchop! Porkchop was great with AJ and was tired by the time I got home.

I am so thankful to have found Aaron! Right off the bat he is extremely kind, flexible, and professional when it comes to figuring out you and your pets needs. He emphasizes keeping your pet in their routine as much as possible which is much appreciated. My very shy dog warmed up to him quickly as he spent time with her to make her feel comfortable! I loved receiving pictures and videos of my dog during his visit, which made me feel relieved that my dog was getting treated with above and beyond care. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with Aaron. Will be booking him regularly! Thank you so much Aaron we are so happy to have found you!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a North Central dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in North Central.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
