About: Ive been caring for dogs my whole life with my family animals and also pet sitting for friends. Im very comfortable with all breeds! Im your girl for long walks or extra snuggles. I recently moved to Ohio from Oregon and am looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends and getting to know the area with long walks with your dogs or traveling to new neighborhoods to care for your pets. I will care for your pet however you instruct me to. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away!
“Colleen was super helpful and was able to schedule an additional walk with my schedule running long. She was prompt in communication and sent updates and pictures! Very comforting to know she cares about my pup and she is so appreciated 😊”
About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home
“I can't recommend Mitchell enough. My dog and cat (both of whom have seperation anxiety) loved him and adjusted to him very quickly. He's extremely flexible and accomodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. I loved the detailed updates and pictures I got with every visit. I'll definitely be reaching out to Mitchell whenever I need a pet sitter.”

“Mariah’s services are the BEST! I have never once had ANY issue with Mariah nor has Bronx. When your furry loved ones are excited and smiling when she arrives you know they are in good hands. Bronx loves Mariah and I couldn’t feel luckier. She goes the extra mile to provide thorough services. It’s obvious she genuinely cares for animals and isn’t just in it for the buck. Highly recommend Mariah with complete trust, care and love for your pet while you’re away : ) Thank you Mariah for everything you do for Bronx and keep up the great work!”
About: Grew up in my childhood home with dogs. I have been around them my whole life. I have dog sat for friends and family when out of town. When taking care of others fur babies, I like to focus on the routine that’s been build and go based on that. I currently am a full time lab technican and has the weather gets warmer, I enjoy going on strolls in the evening after work and on my days off. I figured having a fur buddy for company would be a great way to spend my time. I usually have three days off a week so I’m flexible. When dog walking I would prefer to stay in the community of the client. If extra care is needed such as playing or feeding while client is out or busy, I would not mind at all.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I currently have a small Havapoo, but have had big dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I have experience with training, as well as administering medicine if need be. When I first moved away from my family, I was so nervous to try to find care for my pup while I was away! I am so thankful I have had amazing experiences with Rover, and I’m excited for the opportunity to give others an amazing experience, especially those who may be a little weary and nervous like I was at first! I work from home Monday - Friday, and have flexibility on the weekends so your pup will be in great hands with round the clock care! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Havapoo that is dying to keep your fur baby company! If staying in my home, I will absolutely follow any special instructions or needs for your dog to make them feel right at home and keep them in their routine. For clients home, I will always make sure I leave the home the way I found it, and of course keep your fur baby in their routine!
“I've had the pleasure of entrusting Megan to walk my dog and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Megan is always punctual, professional, and incredibly caring. She has a genuine love for dogs that's evident in every interaction. I highly recommend Megan to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I am very responsible and will make sure to give your fur babies the best companionship I can while with them!

I cannot currently host pets in my home, but I would love to come to your home in your pets most familiar environment to spend time with them!

“Trish is wonderful. This is our first time trusting our Argentine Mastiff with anyone and we couldn't have picked a more perfect person. Trish is very accommodating, communicative, and incredibly gentle & kind. Our girl warmed right up to her and respects her. We will continue to utilize her services and highly reccomend her to anyone else in the Bay Village, OH and surrounding area. Thanks Trish.”
About: Hi! My name is Maddy! I’ve always had dogs in my family growing up, big and small, and I have numerous friends with dogs that I have looked after. I have taken care of and/or owned bulldogs, doodles, mutts, bernese mountain dogs, shih tzu’s, pit bulls, and more! Also have experience watching multiple dogs at a time. I WFH full-time on eastern hours, so I have the ability to take early and mid-morning lunch breaks. I also sometimes have flexibility in the late afternoon. Willing to provide all the normal necessities: quality play time, food/water, walks, whatever your dog likes most! Cannot board dogs in my home unfortunately due to regulations.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
Lily was willing to meet prior to get us acquainted and get key copies. Our first session was great. I appreciate having a verified person to feel comfortable letting someone else enter my home and take care of my baby when I can't. I expect this to improve flexibility and increase Lucy and my quality of life. I plan to schedule Lily again!
Michael is an awesome care provider for my dog Sirius! I highly recommend his services. He communicates clearly, is very consistent, thought and most importantly very kind. Unfortunately we have to move and will no longer be able to have him take care of Sirius. I wish him the best!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 Rocky River.

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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
