About: I learned how to train pets when I was much younger and find it to be a fun and rewarding hobby to do! I have an intense love for all animals! I currently don’t have a job so this will be a sort of part-time gig for me before I get back into school! I am free everyday! I am careful to allow animals to get accustomed to me and will crate if necessary. I am careful with strangers pets and will try my best to have treats on hand!

Jonathan was the perfect communicator and buddy to Rocko during the week. He always got right back to me, took tons of pictures of their walk around the neighborhood, and even put the doggie jackets on so he wouldn't get cold 🥹 Would absolutely book again!!

Nicole is terrific! She walked my pup Sadie twice a day for several days and did a great job. She was in close contact about how Sadie was doing and sent photos. Other than one afternoon when she needed to cancel, Nicole arrived promptly and walked Sadie for a full hour each time as scheduled. Sadie absolutely loved her!

Jessica and her husband Ulisies have been a wonderful help for my family during a very trying time. I couldn't be more grateful for the way they have shown up to walk my dog and shower her with love and affection as if she was their own. Wonderful service and wonderful people overall.

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child. I’ve owned and care for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a turtle. I was also allowed to care for my family’s pets while they traveled. I am recently graduated so I have the availability to commit to your pets and their wellbeing for the whole day. I enjoy both outdoor activities as well as indoor activities. As I live in an apartment my home is fairly small, but we are five person household so our cats are always attended to. We have a gate that prevents the cats from entering the kitchen and a pantry filled with cat treats. While I love my cats I am very stern on having a disciplined diet, they eat at a specific time every day and are given a specific amount of food, so that they are not over eating.

Tiffany was really great with my dog Mela, who gets pretty anxious on walks and with new people. She took her time and was really gentle with her, and it made me feel a lot better about leaving Mela in her care. I really appreciated it and would definitely book with her again.

About: I am a professional dogwalker and have had several four-legged friends in the past 5 years so I am very capable in a pinch to pamper and play with your pets, including dogs, cats and others. I know how difficult it can be to have someone to depend on when things pop up, so I hope I can be here for you. As a grad student, my availability is flexible, great news for pets who prefer not to be alone all day. Currently available for drop-ins & overnight sits; not available to host. With proper notice, I'm happy to set up a meet and greet before care so I can understand navigating your space and your pet's needs, especially before longer care services. Very open to virtually meeting.

About: We love to love on the pets and have been caring for and walking dogs for 7 years. They are all like family to us. I currently work from home on Mondays, Tuesdays and, Fridays and can dedicate time to watching pets. I have my own small dog that I walk twice a day and can take along other pups or walk separately if needed. I ensure that there is nothing on the ground that can harm or be infested by pets. My pet is trained on the wee wee pad but also goes on walks. We do allow pets on our furniture but if you do not allow it in your home that will be strictly enforced as well. This is where floor play and other methods of stimulation and attention comes in.

I am truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and the genuine care she showed throughout our time working together. Again, I’m grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker 💚

Neil is incredibly consistent and communicative. Each week Neil checks in to make sure we are on the same schedule and often given my schedule I am not as consistent however Neil makes it work and it’s always there to walk Zephyr. Neil is very kind and patient with Zephyr. His prices are very reasonable as well.

Nicole was amazing and incredibly accommodating with a last-minute walk request for my dog. She was attentive, patient, and had such a calm and lovely approach that immediately made both me and my dog feel comfortable. My dog absolutely loved her, which says a lot since she can be shy at first. Nicole was also very easy to communicate and work with throughout the entire process. I’d definitely book with her again!

Emmanuel has been walking my dog Phoenix for over a year daily and he is amazing. She can be a very anxious and dog reactive Shepherd but he handles her very well and makes her feel safe. She loves him and gets so excited everytime she sees him. Emmanuel is very communicative with any changes in his schedule or if he is running late to a walk and I appreciate that so much. He's become family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a University Heights 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 University Heights.

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

  • 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.
