About: I've been a caregiver for all types if animals my entire life. Helping my aunt on her farm, to having personal furry companions at home to care for. As an adult I now have my own dog that get lots of love and training. I often pet sit for family and friends as they know they can have total trust in me to not only take their pets to the bathroom and feed them, but also to walk, play, train, and love them. I am available immediately! Looking forward to getting to know you and your pets needs. Very flexible open schedule! Not the best early bird in the winter, but summer is a different story and I would be willing to get up the same time as the sun (: I have a yard with long runners attached to my porch so my dog has the ability to run and play freely without worry of running too far off. I never leave the dogs unattended. I also provide special needs for the home as well as pets, ( light cleaning) always leaving your home the way I found it OR BETTER.
“Halie is a great dog walker. Piper absolutely loves her and waits by the door when she knows it is time for Halie to come get her. Halie is very knowledgeable about animals so l don’t worry about Piper when she is with Halie. Halie is dependable and always on time. I highly recommend her. Jan Pontbriand”
About: Growing up on our family farm until present day, I have loved taking care of dogs. They hold a special place in my heart and I would love to help with yours. Summer is finally here! I am available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to care for your pet(s). Weekday and weekend visits or walks can be scheduled! https://www.rover.com/sit/lynnem12155 I would love to provide a long walk or outside play time for your pup! More than one is welcome. Attention to detail and safety are top priority.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, gerbils, and fish! I currently have 2 kitties of my own and was raised with dogs. I’d love to meet and care for your animals while you’re away 😊 I work full time but am available to drop in after 5pm most days, and available for walks on weekends. For new bookings, I ask that requests be submitted 1 week in advance of the drop-in/dog walking date in order to allow time to coordinate a meet and greet. Message me if you need someone urgently during the weekday, I’ll see if I can make it work! I’m a big advocate for playtime! One of the best things for any animal is bonding with their owners. The best way to do this is playtime or simply being in the same room as your pet (whichever they prefer).
“Jane is wonderful with our dog and so reliable. We appreciate the daily reports and pictures and we know that our dog looks forward to seeing her. I have felt so relieved and comfortable to have my dog taken well care of while I am at work all day.”
About: I always loved animals. They come second hand in my life. I always take good care of my pets. I have a dog as well I currently delivery drive and I’m also in school. I work once a week and school once a week as well. That is the only time I have a second room and a porch to separate the pets. I have a gate at my dog as well. I have lots of supplies
About: Update June 1, 2026. I have taken a part-time job and right now I can only accept cat drop in requests . Unfortunately I can’t commit to dog walking because of this part-time job unless it’s on the weekend. I am answering as a pet owner. I am hoping to start working as a pet sitter/dog walker soon. As a kid we had birds and hamsters, then graduated to cats when I was about 14. As a young adult I usually had up to 4 cats at the same time. When my kids were in high school, my husband introduced me to dogs by re-homing a dog named Lucy. We still have her. I had never had dogs before but I am so glad I did not say NO to hubby at the time. We have 2 dogs now but no cats. I do miss having cats and hope to again some day. I left my job of 34 years and would love to do something I have been wanting to do for a long time but never got around to. I am happy to care for cats too! At my house we have invisible fence to keep the dogs from leaving the yard, though our younger dog needs to be on a long lead because he is so excitable and cannot always be trusted to stay in the yard. We also have invisible fence inside to keep both dogs out of the kitchen.
About: I have owned dogs (and periodically cats) my entire life. Family, friends, and neighbors regularly turn to me when in need of pet care. I recently moved to Ohio from Dallas where I was known by work colleagues and friends as the “street dog whisperer.” Every day after work I would spend hours finding and rescuing street dogs by myself. I have fostered many dogs over the years in Dallas and volunteered at our overcrowded animal shelter on the weekends. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and have experience caring for dogs with injuries (e.g., broken bones) and respiratory infections commonly contracted in shelters. In terms of my profession, I am a clinical psychologist. Since moving here from Dallas I am searching for full time employment, so I currently have flexible availability to provide care to your pets as they deserve! I am patient, caring, conscientious, and the love I hold for animals is a core part of who I am. I would love to care for your pets and provide you with peace of mind, whether it be for a 30 minute walk or a weekend stay. Since moving here I am searching for full time employment. Given that, I have a very flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. In your home it’s your rules! I will follow the instructions provided regarding the proper care for your pet in your home (e.g., using a crate, proper feeding & exercise schedule, rules regarding pets on furniture, etc).
About: Patient with dogs, especially puppies, because I recently went through the puppy training stage with my dog. This level of patience also comes in handy for senior dogs. I have flexibility in my current schedule; therefore, I'd like to make the most of helping fellow dog owners. I've learned first hand that sometimes it takes a village. From my perspective, the golden rule (treat others how you'd want to be treated) is standard for both people & pets. My goal is to treat your dog as I would my own.
About: I have been a pet owner and lover my entire life since I was a young girl I C always wanted to take care and charge of my family pets I have had numerous pets at a time I offer my full attention and love and concern always take my dogs to vets for any reasons any concerns because I want them extra healthy.

“Emily has been a FANTASTIC dog walker for my sweet, 85lb fur baby for the last few months. She goes above and beyond and I'm truly so grateful to have her. I fully trust her to take excellent care of Meeko and he LOVED her from the beginning.”
About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !
About: Hello, I’m Naughtica. I have had animals my whole life. I mainly have experience with dogs and cats. I have also interacted with hermit crabs, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I have experience with animals with health issues (i.e diabetic cat) and a dog who has separation anxiety. I also provide care for a senior dog who is 16 years old. I have worked and lived with younger animals (dogs and cats). I work part-time so I would like something that’s more flexible. I’m mostly available on afternoons and evenings but I can also do mornings if discussed. I currently have two animals, a cat and a dog. My dog gets walks as long as weather permits and he gets fed twice a day. He also has plenty of toys and puzzles to stimulate his mind. My cat gets play time throughout the day and is fed every 6-8 hours. I also groom my dog, he gets washed, his teeth brushed and his ears cleaned. My cat is still learning the process of grooming but we are currently trying to get her used to her teeth being brushed.
About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play. Currently my roommate is an agreeable cat. Chai is pleasant and tolerable to other cats and small dogs.
About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.
About: I am a 23 years old. I have two yellow labs of my own. I have a fairly flexible schedule ensure following instructions to make your babies comfortable. I am a practice manager at a vet, so I have lots of experience with animals and have years of sitting experience as well. I am cpr certified. I am open to any rules or schedules that your pet may have!! I'm available to take them for a run or cuddle on the couch anything in between!! my schedule is very flexible and I can always switch things around if needed-that is never an issue! I work but I am able to switch things around so that is also flexible. I do have a yellow lab who is about six months old that will likely be with me depending if a drop in or sitting

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 Northfield. 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 Northfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
