“It was great having Michael walk Bromley again. He was able to come last minute and help walk our dog to get him out of the house while movers were here. Would highly recommend him! Punctual and kind: our dog walked away from our house with him like they were old friends!”
“Christopher and Amanda are wonderful! Our tripod pittie Oliver loves his walks with both of them. They are completely reliable and delightful. Hire with confidence!”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.
About: I am the person at a party that hangs out with the pets of the house instead of socializing. I have pretty much always had a dog in my house. I am currently my dog’s secondary care giver but during the day I become the primary. I have a part time job in the evening every day of the week, and in the mornings on Sundays and the occasional Saturday. It will become Fridays only after September 27th. After that date I will also be traveling a few times on the weekend. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I am pretty cuddly and also love playing with dogs. I am also an avid hiker and love long walks.
About: I have taken care of small and large dogs for family and friends. I also have 1 large lovely American pittbull of my own. Examples of the care I can provide: - walking - picking up 💩 - cuddling - playing - brushing - administrating medication - diet and allergies I provide additional petcare part-time, so I'm normally avaliable in the afternoon, evenings, or nights on Tues.,Wed.,Thurs.,Fri., and Sunday's evenings/nights. I make sure I feed my 8 cats and 1 dog twice daily and I prioritize socializing and cuddles with my cats and dog daily.
About: Even though we do not have dogs ourselves, I grew up with many rescue dogs. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pups! I love to play with them, take them for long walks, or just cuddle. I am a full-time university professor. During the school year, I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available Tuesday and Thursday late afternoons evenings. I am happy to schedule weekend care. My summer (mid-May to mid-August) is much more open and flexible. I am available for multiple daily home visits, but not for overnights. Since I had a "super senior" cat who needed daily meds, I am punctual and diligent about care. I am excellent at paying attention to details. I give all animals attentive, loving care!
“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”
“Megan is beyond amazing! She takes such great care of our dog, Finn, and we completely trust her and she always keeps us updated on how everything went. She’s reliable, flexible and communicative! We are so grateful to have found her!”
About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.
“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”
“Jackie has been great with our pup. We just moved to Cleveland and needed to go on a sudden trip. Jackie has made us feel like our dog Aria is in great hands for her walks while we are away”
“Susan was prompt and communicative and very friendly. We are very thankful for her helping to walk our pup, even with rainy conditions. I would not hesitate a second before booking a walk with her again.”
“Kaley was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my two, very large (and occasionally rambunctious) labradors for two weeks while I was in Pittsburgh for business. I can offer superlatives only for her reliability and her kindness to my boys, who adored her. I recommend her 100%!”

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 Shaker Heights. 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 Shaker Heights.

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 Shaker Heights. 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
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.
