“Jayme is amazing! Our corgi isn’t keen on walking, but she had him out daily. I love that she was able to connect with both dogs so quickly. She showed up on time and spent any post-walk time loving on our pups!”
About: I have had dog(s) and/or cat(s)in my life for over 40 years. Animal lovers are very special…I am one of those people that love animals! I work full-time with flexible hours. Animals are welcome to join me in my workplace. I take walks daily and would love to have a pup to walk with. I can watch pets in my home or in clients home and will offer loving care to offer comfort to the client’s pet. I want to ensure that the pet I’m watching or walking is feeling loved and at peace. My son and daughter-in-law have a very nervous rescue so I have experience with nervous pups too!
About: Hi I am Cindie, I am mom to two rescued girls that I have adopted, one is a Yorkie and the other is a" Morkie" which is a Maltese Yorkie mix, they are both under the age of 11 and are very lovable and easy-going and love to be around other dogs, they would love to share their large back yard with you! It is completely fenced in and gated with lots of lush grass to run and play in. There is a large wooden deck connected to the back of the house that gives them free reign in and out of the house to access of the doggie door anytime day and night, We have pet friends on both sides of us, our neighborhood is very pet friendly, we have lots of friends that live here that would love to come out and visit with us when you come over! Inside of the house is very comfortable also, we are allowed on the furniture, we have lots of toys to play with and we get special treats like carrots and chicken when we are good ! Our mom has lots of experience taking care of dogs, we didn't get to know our older "sister " Buffy,...because she crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" before we were adopted, but every night the lights shine on her "Memorial Tree" in our backyard where she is "sleeping",.. Wayback in the day, Dr. Dillon at Saint Francis Veterinary Hospital took on Buffy when she was having problems getting the rest of her large litter of nine puppies delivered, She was One of Dr. Dillon's very first patients about 20 years ago, and so you see our big sister "Buffy" is like a local celebrity because she helped Dr. Dillon get his start in Veterinarian Surgery...Wow!

“We were a little uneasy about our first time letting someone else take care of our dog, but Teagan has been great with Teemu! She can sometimes be a handful to walk but she seems to be much more well behaved with Teagan. Teagan is very communicative and flexible, she’s been very easy to work with too. We’re very grateful to have found someone who is so great with our dog, she’s made the whole thing very easy! 10/10 recommend!”
About: Experienced dog mom with three older Boston Terriers aged 10, 11, and 12. I have always had animals since I was a child, they are just an extension of my family. I take my dogs for daily walks, lots of play time, and tons of snuggles. One of my boys takes medication twice a day so I have lots of experience giving oral medication. I know how much my boys mean to mean so I would treat your dogs as my own and provide a safe space for them. I am currently working remotely and can watch dogs with ease. I am happy to break up my days with play time, taking the little ones out for a stroll, potty breaks, and meal times. I have a fenced in yard with close to a 1/4 acre for the dogs to roam about. I live near downtown Perrysburg and have lots of parks nearby to explore on our walks. I have three older Boston Terriers that are happy to lounge about or run around with your dog. I do crate two of my dogs while I am away.
About: Hello! I’m Marie! I have been an animal lover since I can remember and I’ve had pets since the age of 5. As a young adult, I do have friends and family that ask me to watch their pets for them when they’re away. Walking, feeding and quality time are all areas I do well in! I personally have a few pets of my own including exotics and have no issue caring for reptiles or arachnids. Axolotls, rats and rabbits are a few of the pets I have owned and cared for. I also have cats, a dog, birds and tarantulas! They all deserve the upmost care and love. So if you need someone experienced in all animals, I’m your girl! I currently work from 4am-12pm with Mondays and Thursdays off. I am always willing and able to make sure clients are taken care of before or after work. I always follow what the owner wants. Lists are my best friend when it comes to precise things when caring for other’s animals. Routine is important as well. I walk my dog throughout the day and my cats are pretty low maintenance. I am exceptional with following your day to day routines and expectations.
“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”

Working both in a school setting and hospital atmosphere I have been faced with many different personalities of animals! I understand body language and boundaries with animals. I’m very comfortable with being put in situations where an animal may not see me as a friend. I’m very comfortable with neutralizing situations to not put your fur baby in any additional stress it may already be in. I adore working with both cats and dogs as they are all so different with their own unique personalities! I have plenty of time to play and hangout with your fur baby’s! I can be made available anytime on weekdays and weekends. I can’t wait to meet your babies! If there are any additional questions you may have for me please feel free to reach out via messages, no question is a small question! I am here for you and your fur baby!

About: As an 18-year-old dog owner with a golden retriever and over four years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed strong skills in understanding and training dogs. Through consistent practice, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques, I’ve learned how to teach basic commands, improve behavior, and build trust with dogs. My experience has helped me become confident in reading canine body language and adapting training methods to fit each dog’s needs. I currently work part time at the nursing home about 3 days a week. But I still have plenty of time for doggy days! I love spending time with the dogs and would love to watch yours! I do prefer potty trained but if it’s a young one very understandable and accidents happen! I do not have a fenced yard but have about 2.5 acres of land for the dogs to run. I do have a electric underground fence for my personal dog but will not use that on any dogs period.
“Jay is terrific!! I have a new, large, crazy 1 year old Mastiff mix that is a huge handful and Jay has done wonderful with him. He is so thorough and sent me lots of pictures and details about the walk. His attention to detail was so comforting. I forgot to put a baby gate up to keep the dogs and cats separate, and he noticed and put it up before chaos ensued. ☺️ Highly recommend him for great care of your pets.”
“Natasha is my go-to for my dog walking needs! She is flexible and works with me and my crazy schedule, and best of all my doggo loves her. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends me during her visits - it’s a relief to me during a long day at work to know that I don’t have to worry about my pup.”
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine love and care I have for animals. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job—I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule that changes from week to week. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, love, cuddles, and companionship they deserve. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure your pets are cared for properly and treated with kindness. I am gentle, patient, and comfortable around all types of animals. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority, and I would never intentionally put an animal in harm’s way

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 Sylvania. 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 Sylvania 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 Sylvania. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
