Just booked Victoria for a second time after she walked my dog last week! She has been great with her and dealt with complications like accidents and surprise kitty visitors very well. Thanks, Victoria!

About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age and have two dogs of my own. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, administering medication, and creating a comfortable environment for each pet based on their individual needs. I work pretty standard hours during the day and enhanced flexibility, so if you have odd hours or are running late, I'm more than happy to run over and take care of your pets needs! While I don't offer pets to stay in my apartment, I take care to assess each pets specific needs in their environment and find ways to address those needs. I have had several thorough background checks as part of my job and will be sure to respect and secure your space upon arrival and departure.

About: I’ve cared after dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! I have spent extra time with puppies, I could help in teaching various tricks and obedience behaviors using positive reinforcement. Anxious and nervous dogs hold a special place in my heart, nothing is more rewarding than watching them break out of their shell. I’m currently working from home. I myself get the zoomies and have the energy to burn your pup out!! My home can accommodate any needs, as well as I. Busy schedule? No sweat, consider me a body double! I have two well socialized and friendly dogs to keep yours company if they want it. I also have two crates, if your dog prefers some independence. I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of yard to run on.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a wee lad and my mom has instilled the importance of their love and care in me. Everyone from friends to strangers have relied on me to take care of their pets. I am so happy to love your pets for you while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs and doing some freelance editing for authors, so I will have plenty of time for walks, in-home pet sitting, etc. My schedule will work around yours. I will work with you for your pet’s specific needs in your home. I am open and willing to your pet’s schedules. I currently do not offer services in my own home.

About: I have had at least 2 dogs my entire life ranging from papillons to husky's so I know how to handle the high-strung vocal pups & the more relaxed lover dogs. I used to pet sit and gained a lot of valuable experience. I am confident I can do the necessary tasks to keep your pets happy and healthy. My current full-time job is flexible and each day can be structured differently to meet my needs which allows for me to spend time checking-in or walking others dogs/cats when they may not be able to. I am not currently offering care in my home as I have 3 pets myself, but for the services I am offering (check-ins and walking) I will ensure their safety through acting with caution, constantly observing them and those around, and trying to bring some happiness to them during the visit through playing/pets/etc.

Autumn did a great job caring for my two dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and has several medical problems. Autumn was very capable and comfortable with this. I will definitely trust her again in the future with my fur-babies.

About: Hi! I’m Tracy — a lifelong animal lover with a Masters and PhD in environmental policy from The Ohio State University. My background reflects how deeply I care about the well-being of all creatures, great and small. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me; it’s something that’s been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with three wonderful dogs of various sizes, and as an adult I’ve had a large dog of my own, two small dogs, and a cat. One of my pups was adopted from a shelter, two came to me from foster parents, and my cat was a stray who chose our home — so I’m very comfortable with pets who have unique personalities, histories, or special needs. I’m gentle, patient, and very responsible. Whether your pet needs a long walk, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect great communication, attention to detail, and a genuine love for your furry family member. I would be honored to earn your trust and care for your pets like they’re my own. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently a home-maker, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pet's needs. I have openings 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I prefer to come to your home to tend to your pet. I do have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but my terrier mix can be a little bossy. I'm always open to having your pet meet my terrier though if you'd like your fur baby to stay for a visit at our house.

About: I’ve owned several dogs in the past, including dogs with medical needs and those who like to be the only dog in the house. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I’m happy to care for dogs that prefer some space to themselves! Whether your dog is high-energy, a little shy, or a total couch potato, I tailor visits to each dog’s needs. My home has plenty of room to run and plenty of soft spots for a midday nap! I’m a great fit for all of you weekend warriors! I’m currently available for weekend boarding (Thursday evening - Sunday evening) and drop-in visits or walks from Friday-Sunday. I have a pet-free home, so can be flexible with your pets’ needs. I’m able to crate your dog, if needed, and have a backyard for play time! I’m very comfortable administering medications and want to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Daily walks, play time, snuggles and treats provided!

Hannah was absolutely fabulous with my puppy Claire! It was my first time leaving my four month old puppy and I was very nervous but Hannah was incredibly kind and responsible and took such good care of Claire. Claire was happy and comfortable with Hannah, and super tired and satisfied after every walk. 100% would recommend Hannah!

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and two friendly cats in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!

Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!

This was the first time we’ve ever hired someone to walk our dog. Kimberlee was an absolute professional and was amazing with Poppy during our meet n greet. So amazing in fact that I had not one worry about our pup’s care while I was away. I’ve already hired her for a second round—she’s terrific and I am grateful!

Karly is THE BEST!!!!! She walks my pup, Fuzzy, every day and takes such good care of her. She has gone above and beyond to help me- Fuz is reactive and takes a good bit to warm up to people, and Karly went out of her way to get to know Fuz, and is amazing at communicating/ returning messages/ reaching out with any questions or concerns. Fuz and I highly HIGHLY recommend!!!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Tri-South dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Tri-South.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
