“Tyler was very patient with my rescue pup Lily who can be very timid and shy around new friends. I was instantly at ease while away and knew she was in great hands. Thank you!!!!”
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
“Kelcie helped me out with pretty short notice when our full day dog sitter had to cancel. She spent great time with our pup and took him on a nice long walk. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have dog sat many pups in the last 4 years! I love watching dogs and currently have my own dog! I work full time, in the office 4 days a week. I’m usually gone from about 7:30-4:45. Outside of work, I always prioritize a walk with my pup once I’m home! And usually can be home for the remainder of the night. I will care for the pets I watch however the owner prefers! I can offer a loving sitter when needed and will make sure the dogs get lots of exercise, play and cuddles!
“Mariah always does a great job walking Jax! She is very responsible and has great communication and always makes sure Jax is safe and happy. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with their dog or other pets!”

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.

About: I treat every pet like family, not just a client. Early mornings, late nights, weekends— I work around your schedule. You’ll always know how your pet is doing with fun photos!

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 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
August is amazing with my girl Reese on weekly walks. August is knowledgable, trustworthy and reliable. Reese is always looking forward to her walk with August! She knows they’re always caring, kind and gentle with her. I would highly recommend August to anyone needing pet care.
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!
Claudia was fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pit bull, Neo, to Claudia for his daily walks, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. Claudia is not only punctual and reliable, but she also has a natural affinity with dogs that is truly remarkable. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Claudia is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each walk was tailored to his energy level and temperament. She was also able to get some of his daily training done while on walks. My dog absolutely adors her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Claudia's professionalism and dedication have given me complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.

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.

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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
