About: I grew up on a farm, so I took care of cats, dogs, and various other farm type animals like horses and cows quite frequently. I also have a cat and two dogs back home that I take care of whenever I go back home. I’m currently waiting to hear back from multiple full time jobs, however this can take a while so at the moment I am usually free 24/7 for any pets who need taken care of! If I was to take a dog to my home, I have plenty of space for them to roam around inside as well as plenty of places outdoors to walk, or even go to the dog park if they enjoy going there. My apartment is perfect for a cat as well because there are plenty of windows for sunbathing and comfortable places to take naps, and for more active cats there is plenty of indoor space to play.
“Emily has became our regular dog walker. She’s amazing, so friendly and kind! She’s very trustworthy, it almost feels like you have a family member looking after your pet that way she dedicates herself to taking care of our animals.”
“Janasha did a great job taking care of Hudson while we were out of town! She was very pleasant, dependable and communicative! She sent us pictures from their walks and little updates about how everything went! Will definitely book again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! Maya took care of our two dogs twice a day for more than a week while we were out of town. To our relief, she accepted the job on very short notice and was absolutely spectacular. Our dogs loved her instantly and looked forward to her visits. Every picture she sent showed two happy, smiling pups. They were relaxed and content when we got home, and thanks to Maya, the girls didn’t have a single accident in the house! Maya is kind, gentle, dependable, and truly takes the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, likes, and dislikes. We are so grateful to her and will definitely use her again. We highly recommend Maya to any pet parent!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life! I have had big and small pets! Mainly dogs but I have had two cats for at least ten years now! My current pets (two dogs and two cats) are all senior age. So I don’t mind any age or size! I do work two part time jobs during the day and overnight Fridays. Other than that I am almost always available and can provide time and care to your pets before and after work or whenever you may need. Just let me and we can always make a plan. I will pay attention and listen closely for your pets needs and wants! Any directions and notes given will be taken and followed. I want to provide the best care for your pet.
About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!
“Jeffrey is awesome with my dogs and they love him already from the first meeting. He took care of them simultaneously with comfort and ease. He was super helpful to come by on short notice and I’m endlessly grateful ! highly recommend Jeff for all your pet needs :)”

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
About: Our family loves dogs! We love to play out back with them and take them on walks. They will get lots of exercise and love at our house! There is someone home throughout the day to take care of their needs. Our whole family helps to care for dogs. There is almost always someone at the house even during the week. That means lots of attention and love! We have a good sized yard with a 6 foot fenced. We have 4 kids from elementary school to college and they love playing with dogs too. We will take family walks in our beautiful neighborhood with all of our furry friends. We are home most of the day and spend a lot of time with your dog. This means we will have the time to go for a long walk. We treat all pets like we would treat our own. So they are like family. We give them plenty of love and play time outside.
“I can't say enough about Abby! My dog is pretty shy and fussy about who he makes friends with. Not when it came to Abby! They bonded almost instantly and became great walking buddies from day one. She takes him on various routes and mixes up the scenery. With the heat wave we've been having, she's used good judgement and prudence on how far the walks should go and always brings water and bowl for Sparky to hydrate. I always look forward to her notes and pics after each walk too. Overall experience: Top notch 100% Five Star Plus! You rock Abby!”


About: Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends and colleagues have often asked me to watch dogs while they are away. Then walking dogs helped me get through graduate school and now I want to keep it going even as I work as a counselor! I am licensed professional counselor, but when I don’t have a client, I am completely open for things such as watching or walking your pets! I can easily fit that into my schedule. I am a quick learned and will do anything to make sure your pets get to know me and are comfortable! You share how you prefer things to be done and I’ll follow that to a T.
About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now i’m a vet teach assistant as well ! I’m a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds 🐾💕 I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when i’m not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!

About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
“Rebecca was great, she showed up on time and happy to walk our dog even though it was snowing and raining! Our pup came back happy and all her energy spent, it was a quiet night. Will definitely be calling her again.”

About: Growing up my family home felt like a mini nature preserve, surrounded by everything from birds, turtles, frogs, fish, guinea pigs, to cats, dogs, and chickens. That lifelong connection to nature and animals is what led me to pet sitting today. I’m happy to bring that experience to my neighbors here in Central Clintonville. While I am currently building my professional footprint on Rover, I bring a highly detail-oriented approach to every visit. I am especially comfortable with cats and small dogs, as I understand the gentle handling and extra supervision they often require. You can count on me to follow your pet's specific routine with the same thoroughness and care I’ve given my own for years. I work from home 3 weeks a month, 9-5pm. To Central Clintonville residents, I can provide drop-in visits and walks outside those working hours and on my lunch break. Because I have two senior cats, who require a predictable, low-stress environment, I cannot provide boarding services at this time. I can, however, provide drop-in visits a couple times a day. I can provide drop-ins and walks.

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 Riverlea. 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 Riverlea.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverlea. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
