About: I’ve had animals my entire life! I would love to take care of your baby’s for you and treat them like my own! I have taken care of dogs & cats at every age and other animals. I don’t have a full-time job right now, so I have time to take care of animals when people need my help when they can’t. I’ve treated every animal as if they were my child. I would do the same whether yours is at my house or I stop in and check on them at yours. I always say I would hate someone forever if they ever let my cat out the door..so you can trust me with your animal!
“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: I am a calm, confident, and loving pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have two wonderful cats of my own and actively volunteer at a local cat shelter, giving me a lot of hands-on experience reading animal body language, managing feeding routines, and caring for different personalities. While I am still gaining experience with dog walking, I am highly confident, attentive, and fully capable of safely handling small and medium dogs. My calm, gentle energy makes me a great fit for pets who might be a little shy or anxious with new people. I am dedicated to providing a reliable, stress-free drop-in visit for your beloved pets! I am free and available every single day between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM. This stable daily schedule lets me easily handle your pet's midday drop-in visits. I treat your home with respect. I follow all care instructions exactly, keep pets safe, double-check locked doors, and give them my full, calm attention.
About: I have pet sat & house sat the past few years. I worked at an animal shelter & currently work at an animal hospital and look forward to meeting your babies! I am currently working at an animal hospital so my hours are long. I have three days a week off though & would love to fit in your babies during those times. I have every Tuesday & Sunday off & most Saturdays. I am looking to drop in and hang out with your babies as needed. I can provide good quality time & lots of pictures & would treat them like they are my own!
“Kristina was absolutely amazing. Our fur baby was very happy with her while we were gone. She had great communication and I’d highly recommend her. Thank you for loving on Tiko while we were away!”

“Simply the best walker for my unruly Dobermans, they love her, and I do too! Trustworthy and very good judgement. Thank you! (and I did not end any booking, just had to rearrange and it resulted in a booking ending but another started).”
About: My step-dad is a vet and I worked with him at the animal hospital from ages 11 to 26. We have a 66lb Berniedoodle (Preemo) and a cat (Guru). We have a big yard to play with dogs outside. It’s not fenced so dogs only go outside when supervised. I also trained aggressive dogs in the mountains of Mexico (Guanajuato) so they could get adopted instead of put down. I work during the day Mon-Fri and my wife mainly works from home so our pets aren’t rarely alone. I prefer to spend all day outside or at the park so dogs will get plenty of exercise. Our dog and cat love each other and everyone they’ve ever met. Our house is big and we have a lot of property to play fetch and run around.
About: Kids and animals I have been crowned sitter a long time ago! I love dogs so much, all kinds. Animals can sense energy and they always love me back! I walk, sit in, feed, bathe, play, you name it. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to help them out while working late nights. I like to look at it as, they are just like us. They have a bladder, they get hungry and thirsty too! We are their world. I am currently working full time during the day so as soon as I get off I like to care for my fur friends. Daily regulars or in case of emergencies I am always available. My schedule varies, please inquire! On work days I am available after 4:30pm. On days off I am available ANYTIME. Feel free to inquire about a day and time I will be more than happy to answer any questions! While at a clients home I am always sure to be respectful of their rules. Make sure i have proper measurements for food and abide by water schedules. I want to make sure the pet is well taken care of while in their home! Im the guest!
“Logan was prompt and professional at booking and he was respectful and kind when picking up and dropping off our dog. We enjoyed having his help and look forward to using him for walks in the future. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes all my life and have been heavily relied on by friends and family for their pets care. I have experience in all stages of life for pets including senior care and medication management. I had a Golden Retriever for 18 years! He had a lot of health problems including a lot of ear surgeries, skin allergies etc. I never gave up on him or any animal! I’m dedicated to providing the best care for animals as I do at the hospital with my patients as a Labor nurse. I’m a Labor nurse and I currently work 3 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. These days tend to fluctuate but I have 4 days off. This encouraged me to find something I love to do on my free time. I’m flexible as long as the pets are happy and well cared for. I just want them to be okay and the client to be satisfied with the quality of care. My pets are probably more spoiled than most and very high maintenance.
About: I have worked in the animal field for a very long time I have worked with boarding animals as well as playing with daycare dogs, I have 2 shepherds of my own! I used to foster puppies and kittens and loved it! Attending to my own animals needs is a daily routine that I love doing I love playing with them and feeding them and giving them baths and I love training them I wouldn’t be who I am today if I wasn’t able to be with animals! I like to earn every animals trust before I make any move to love and take care of them, I have taught and fixed resource guarding and worked on food aggression with my dogs and I always separate to feed if needed to
About: I’ve lived with fur babies most of my life. I have worked closely with mostly dogs and cats. I have also taken care of bunnies, guinea pigs, lizards, and hamsters. I am working on my writing my next book and have more open availability. I can look after your furr babies during the morning, afternoon and early evenings preferred. I know that some fur babies hold trauma from their past. Just like us humans. It’s good to help them feel safe and know their triggers.
“Another great dog walking experience with Sage! She took my pup on walks this week, was super communicative during a thunderstorm, and sent the cutest pictures of my cat too :) thanks, Sage!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my 3-year-old Goldendoodle and 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need. I’m flexible and able to work around most schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays with advance notice, and I’ll always communicate clearly to confirm timing before each booking. When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.
About: Hey everyone! I am a huge animal lover. I have always had a dog in my home whether it be a family dog or my personal dog. Currently, I have two big, high energy dogs of my own a golden retriever and a husky! I love animals and understand needing to feel like your pet is safe and loved while you’re away! I will treat your furry friends just as I would my own 🩵 I am currently on summer break for work and have open availability for scheduling! Doggy daycare is now available me for the summer to book! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly, high energy dogs as well as a one year old son who loves dogs. My dogs are good with other dogs and children as well. They enjoy playing and running around together! I also have a large crate available for us if your animal is used to being crated. We do walk and lots of play time outside in our backyard.

About: As a proud dog mom of two, I have lifelong experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes—from large, high-energy breeds to small, gentle ones. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, and overnight care. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m dedicated to providing safe, attentive care along with frequent photo updates so you can always have peace of mind while you're away! I am currently a college student working to cover my tuition, which gives me great flexibility throughout the week! Because of my flexible schedule, I am readily available for drop-in visits, energetic walks, and overnight house sitting at your home to make sure your pets maintain their normal routine. At the moment, I don't host pets in my own home, as I prefer to provide care right in the comfort of your pet’s familiar space! Whether it's a dog or a cat, staying in their own home helps the babies feel so much safer, cozy, and relaxed instead of having to adjust to a whole new environment. Whether I’m dropping in, going for a walk, or staying overnight, I pride myself on being sweet, polite, incredibly respectful, and extra tidy with your home.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up with six family dogs, I gained experience with all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs. Recently, I helped care for three of my senior dogs through their later years, teaching me the importance of patience and attentiveness. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since elementary school and have been caring for pets through Rover since high school. I also have volunteer experience with animal shelters and am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Dogs truly feel like family to me, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while studying for my North Carolina real estate license, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays on YOUR schedule. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I recently graduated and am focused on studying for my real estate exam right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m more than happy to accommodate to your dog’s regular routine. I will not be able to bring dogs into my residence but will gladly take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and outdoor spaces.
About: Hi! I’m Bailey — a wife, mom, cake decorator, and proud doodle mom 🐾 I have a one-year-old Goldendoodle named Bo who absolutely loves making new friends. I also had a six-year-old Goldendoodle, Jackson, who passed away in July of 2025 - he had lymphoma. He was such a big part of my life, and caring for him gave me years of hands-on experience, love, and understanding of what our dogs truly mean to us. I know firsthand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family — with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, structure, or just a calm and safe place to stay, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and happy. I offer a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet, so they’ll get lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also big on communication — you can expect regular updates, pictures, and reassurance while you’re away. I’ve cared for many family pets over the years and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every dog I meet. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and specific needs so we’re always on the same page. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶💛 My schedule is flexible- daily and on the weekends - plenty of play time during the week! If any special needs or I can accommodate you in any shape or form just let me know I do have a large fenced in yard and ONE male golden doodle who is very loving, playful and great with other dogs of all breeds.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Rocky River is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $24 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 November 2026, there are 5,084 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rocky River. 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 Rocky River. 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 Rocky River 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 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rocky River. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
