“Tyler is a great dog walker! He is very patient, communicative, reliable and awesome with larger breeds! I have an American Bully and he takes time to play with her and lets her sniff around on their walks. Really grateful for his weekly drop ins and walks with my pup! Tyler and Cashmere, have become great walking buddies. 10/10!!”

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve had experience with dogs at all stages of life and have trained every dog I’ve owned. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every pet has their own personality and needs. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, whether they needed some extra training, exercise, attention, or simply someone they could trust to care for their pets while they were away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My own dog, Lucy, is a big part of my life, and she’s taught me just how much personality and love our four-legged friends can bring into our lives. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and become their new BFF! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time at Raising Cane’s, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. My shifts are generally 6–8 hours, and I’m able to provide pet care before and after work. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also able to accommodate different routines and special instructions whenever possible. If your pet needs medication, I can make arrangements to provide it and can coordinate my schedule to make sure they receive it on time. I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the visit and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for while you’re away I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment, always have access to fresh water, and are supervised during walks and playtime. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel happy and loved while they’re in my care.

“Madelyn did an excellent job for us with our 10-year-old German Shepherd. She was on time for every walk sent us pictures and kept us updated. If you need a great dog walker that gives good care to your dog I would highly recommend her. She also gave our dog her medicine every day. A+”

About: My family has nothing but love and attention to give your dog while your away. I will take care of him/her like my own. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. I work full time during the day so I prefer the dog be crate trained while I’m away. While your dog is here we will go on walks, play and give them love so you can feel good about the care your dog is getting. I know it’s hard to leave sometimes, and I can assure you they will be in great hands so you can enjoy your time away! I have had dogs my whole life and am completely aware of what it takes to care for them. Let me know if you have questions!

About: I've had pets my entire life, and over the years, I've also enjoyed caring for the pets of friends and neighbors. Animals have always been a special part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My dog, Casey, has been deaf her whole life, so I have firsthand experience understanding and caring for a dog with special needs. This has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and finding ways to communicate that help each pet feel safe and comfortable. I'm reliable, responsible, and careful to follow your instructions and your pet's usual routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I'll do my very best to make sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for! 🐾 Pet care is a part of my daily life with my dogs and cats. Pet visits and walks for clients are part of my routine and I make sure your pets get the attention, care, and affection they need. I'll follow your instructions and keep them as close to their usual routine as possible. I can care for your pet in your home by: - Putting food down - Making sure they have water - Giving them attention and playing with them - Walking them - Providing a summary of my visit / walk

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.

About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. I've gone through agility class, traveled around with them, and performed medical care as needed I retired about a year ago from the healthcare field. I am frequently available to care for dogs and cats in many situations and time frames I live in a complex with a doggie walk and a fenced in area. I can care for your pet at your home as well, and can walk and exercise them.

About: PLEASE READ: I have started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and would like to grow it there rather than on Rover. If you are interested in hiring me, please search on Facebook or Google "Rachael's Dog Walking and Pet Sitting" or message me for the links, my website, or email. You can still read much of my current information here. I worked as a professional pet sitter for one of the biggest pet sitting companies in the Cleveland area for 2.5 years and have done pet sitting on my own since then. I have experience caring for many different types of animals of all ages and sizes. I have taken care of them when the owners were on vacation; feeding, giving medicine, walking, etc. I also do dog walking visits during the day for people who are at work or sometimes still home. I have had my own dogs, cats, and other small animals my whole life. I currently have a very part time remote job as a social media coordinator, and have recently started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and also do occasional freelance graphic design and photo editing. I am mainly looking to work in mornings and afternoons on weekdays, but can occasionally do nights and weekends too. I am available for daily dog walking in cities near Olmsted Falls, and can do occasional pet sitting in farther cities. I have professional experience caring for animals and being in client's homes. Before I worked as a pet sitter, I even cleaned houses for 4 years, while people were away, so I can be trusted in people's homes. I always make sure to hold a dog's leash tight, and make sure no pets get out when I come and go through a door. I also always make sure the door is locked when I leave. I will meet you and your pets before services begin to go over everything so I know exactly what to do and make sure the pets get to know me first.

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!!

About: I have loved and cared for multiple pets throughout the years- all with different purrsonalities, ages, and likes. I currently own 6 cats; but only two of my babies live with me the other four have been kidnapped by their grandparents. Most of my cats all love to cuddle and some of them even play fetch. When I have brought other pets home to watch and play with, my cats are always welcoming and I enjoy learning and experiencing every pets different personality. I currently work 3 12s as a nurse, but the other four days of my week I am usually home at least 8 hours during the day. I always get up two hours before work and I feed, play with, and cuddles me cats for at least an hour because they put me in a happy mood to start my day. When I get back from work I spend about an hour to two with them before I fall asleep. On my off days I am usually home and will spend time and play with my cats whenever they want to. It just depends on if they want to sleep, cuddle, or play. I have a two bedroom townhome with just myself and my two cats in. My cats are allowed anywhere throughout my home and are usually found either sleeping in my bed or on my couch basking in the sunlight and staring out the window. I feed my cats twice a day- once in the morning and at night. Sometimes they’ll get a snack mid day and they receive treats sometimes when they are extra cute. I also clean their litter box every morning so it smells good and they feel good about going to the bathroom in their box. If I go somewhere to care for another persons pet I will feed them based off the owners schedule and will clean their litter box as often as needed, usually once a day. I will also play with them and show them as much or little attention as they want.

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - North Olmsted

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in North Olmsted is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,024 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Olmsted. 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 North Olmsted. 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 , 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 North Olmsted 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Olmsted. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
