“Kim was so great taking Indie on walks even when she’s such a big, reactive dog. I was out of town for a week and I came home to Indie being just as happy and healthy as when I left. Thank you, Kim!”
“Julie is FABULOUS! She offered to do a Meet & Greet beforehand which I loved. She is super sweet and our foster pup immediately took to her! (He even tried to follow her out the door as she left.) She took excellent care of him, and I have no doubt she treats all her clients like her own. If we need someone again- Julie will be our go-to!”
“Kim took great care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. She cared for Indie like she was truly her own. She kept me updated and was flexible and timely. I recommend Kim highly for dog walking!”
About: Growing up my Grandparents were AKC German shepherd and Cocker spaniel breeders. I've been helping groom, care for and raise dogs since I learned not to eat the dog food lol. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years as a receptionist and enjoyed shadowing in all areas of the hospital including the boarding facility. I have experience with reactive dogs and am fairly good at reading body language. I say fairly good because all dogs have their own cues that can be more or less noticeable than others. I am proficient at giving medicine when needed whether injection, pills, or liquid as well. I have two children whom I homeschool and may occasionally need to bring them with me. They are well behaved and know to never mess with someone's things and how to interact with animals and respect their space and take their lead if they are playing with them. If this is a problem just let me know and the needed arrangements will be made. I do not watch in my own home as we have a small home. I am happy to come to your home and follow all instructions on how your pet is to be cared for.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. Anytime my family or friends need help with their dogs, they come to me. I play sports and go to school. But when I'm not doing that I have plenty of time to take care of your little/big angel. I have a dog of my own that that yours can play with. Space inside and in the backyard where they can run and play.
“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”

I care for pets in their home by meeting their needs with exceptional care and attention to detail. I can evaluate how the pet is responding to me and whether they want space or cuddles.
About: I’ve trained 3 of my own puppies as well as crate trained a few. I’ve loved 6 dogs and 3 cats throughout my lifetime and can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am unable to work a traditional job due to health reasons so you can rest assured all my attention will be on your animals. I have a fenced in yard, a surplus of treats, toys, and beds, as well as a friendly dog and cat you can chose to have you pet play with or a private space in my home where they will have toys, food, water, and entertainment with regular checkups, potty breaks and outside time.

I’m mindful of safety—for both the pet and the client—such as avoiding trip hazards or messes. If I notice anything unusual, like changes in behavior or eating habits, I report it promptly. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I treat them with the same respect and care.
“Halle is our dog’s absolute best friend! Ever since Halle started coming to walk her during the week, Pepper has immediately become so well behaved and happy!

About: I own 3 small dogs - very sweet and they get along well with other dogs. They are all updated on shots and are on heart-worm/flea/tick preventatives (Revolution). I ask that all dogs that stay in my home are also up to date on shots and preferably on some sort of flea preventative as we go outdoors often, weather permitting. I have owned and cared for a diabetic dog and can give shots or other medicines if needed. I work full time from home so they are able to have frequent potty breaks along with being able to roam free inside my home. I’ve had pets my entire life; rabbits, cats, hamsters, birds, dogs, etc. I love animals and they will be well cared for - I will treat them like they are my own. I have a half acre fenced in yard with shade available for them to run around and play! We also have 1 indoor cat. I have two children but they do great with animals. They love to help with their care and are very loving to all animals. I have several crates and pet beds or you can bring your own if that makes them more comfortable. I always suggest bringing special treats, toys, or blankets to help make their stay easier. I can also take care of cats as well or any other small pets! Please ask any questions you may have! Thank you for your consideration. Working from home makes your pet feel at home with someone almost always there. If they are crated it’s only at bedtime if that’s their normal routine. I have a large fenced in yard. My Pomeranian is young and energetic and loves to run around with visiting pups! My girls are super laid back and mostly like to observe. They have free roam of the downstairs area.

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 Rocky River. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
