About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. Because my academic commitments are predictable, I’m able to maintain a steady routine and dedicate focused time to each dog I care for. Whether it’s midday walks, morning or evening visits, I have availability throughout the week and can provide dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.

Jennifer was really assuring through the process of using rover for the first time! She provided a lot of pictures and details and did things I forgot to ask for, like refilling my dog’s water bowl. I felt really comfortable with her walking my dog and am happy knowing he got some extra care and attention!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my own dog with a sensitive stomach, which has made me especially attentive to diet, routines, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping a close eye on behavior to ensure every dog stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I keep a very clean home to minimize your pet picking up anything they shouldn’t. I work from home so I’m happy to watch your pup for day care or boarding. I can take your dog outside for walks or just potty breaks if needed. I work with dogs who are comfortable roaming the house. They must be friendly and used to other dogs since I have a 5 year old bernedoodle of my own. My dog loves to play but also nap.

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I helped take care of my family dog growing up, dog sat overnight for friends and neighbors throughout high school, and in college I cared for service dogs in training through both short-term days and longer stays lasting multiple weeks. I've worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I've watched and walked many dogs for friends and family over the years, and I've become a go-to pet sitter for many people in my life because they know their dogs will be safe, loved, and well cared for. Honestly, what sets me apart is that I genuinely want to be there. I absolutely love dogs and am the person who gets excited every time I see one. Spending time with dogs never feels like a chore to me, it's something I truly enjoy. Along with that, I'm very responsible and understand that owners trust me with a member of their family. I take that seriously by following care instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Some days I have classes or clinic responsibilities with breaks in the middle of the day, while other days I have much more open availability. I'm often available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care during weekdays, and I'm typically available on weekends as well. I do my best to keep my calendar updated so owners know exactly when I'm available, and I'm happy to communicate about scheduling needs in advance. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in whatever environment works best for them. I am happy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks to burn off energy, shorter strolls at a slower pace, or lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to tailor activities to their needs and routine. I understand that many dogs are most comfortable in their own homes, so I'm very open to drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home once we've had a chance to meet and ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I'm a responsible and detail-oriented caregiver who follows owners' instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, training expectations, or any other special needs. I live in an apartment and do not have a fenced yard, so its probably best for me to come to the pup! I make sure dogs receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and supervised outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your dog's normal routine as much as possible so they feel happy, secure, and well cared for.

About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and I've always wanted one of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I will be home for the summer, and will be working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to dog sit! I am more available in the afternoons but I can also do mornings. I have nice yard with a good amount of space outside. I would keep dogs on a leash, in the yard because it is not completely fenced in.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Upper Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Upper Arlington on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of August 2026, there are 2,570 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Upper Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Upper Arlington. 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 Upper Arlington.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Upper Arlington. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
