About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I'm a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or simply providing companionship while they were away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable care. As a nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week. On the days I'm working, I'm generally unavailable for pet care. However, I have approximately four days each week completely free, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on my days off, and I'm especially happy to care for dogs during long weekends when my schedule allows. Because I know my work schedule in advance, I can communicate availability clearly and ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I'm with your pet, they will have my full attention, and I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Pets staying in my home will be treated like part of the family. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and enrichment through multiple daily walks, outdoor time on leash, play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. My Golden Retriever, Olive, will also be present during stays. She is friendly, social, and loves having canine companions to play with. Of course, I always prioritize safety and will ensure that all introductions are done thoughtfully and that every dog is comfortable. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I'll work to maintain their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home.
“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”

“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”

“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”

About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! I graduated from UW-Madison with a B.S. in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences in 2025 and am currently a second year Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine student at The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine! I have over 5 years of animal experience including shadowing at a vet clinic, working as a Veterinary Assistant, working at a Large Animal Hospital at the Wisconsin Vet school, working in a research lab, dog sitting, and a 2 week animal rehabilitation abroad trip to Thailand. I have experience with all types of animals including dogs, cats, poultry, cows, horses, llamas, alpacas, elephants, and more! I’m an animal lover at heart! I’m a veterinary student and live just a short distance from campus, so I’m able to come home throughout the day to take frequent walks and spend time with your pet. I live in an animal-friendly apartment. I currently don’t have any dogs in-house. I’ll also have a car and can travel to you, take your pets to the dog park, go on adventures, and more!
“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!”

“Ashley is great! My dog warmed up to her very quickly, and she was kind, communicative, and on time. We have booked recurring walks and will continue these until we move so long as Ashley is available :)”


About: Hi! I'm Sarah, a caring, passionate, and dependable animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs & cats of various ages, breeds, and sizes. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that they receive at home. I can provide pet walking, house visits, house sitting, and some light grooming (bathing, brushing). I also know that communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm patient, responsible, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own, and I'm always willing to learn about any special routines or instructions to ensure the best possible care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need reliable, loving pet care! I’m currently on summer vacation, as I’m a preschool teacher, and therefore have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I can offer pet walking, house visits, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I request 5 days-1 weeks notice to ensure my availability. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent and attentive care. Whether we’re going for a walk, relaxing at home, or playing in the yard, I will always strive to make your pet feel loved and secure.
“Ericka was absolutely fantastic and took great care of our dog while we were away. She handled walks, mealtimes, and his insulin injections twice a day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. We would book with Ericka again in a heartbeat!!”

About: I have a sweet dog who’s been part of my life for the past 7 years, so I understand how much love, attention, and care our furry companions need. Having my own pet has taught me a lot about responsibility and reading animal behavior, which helps me provide the best care for others too Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I take care of my own dog every day—feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love—so I’m already used to planning my time around a pet’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them fits perfectly into my week. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins, I’m happy to make pets a priority in my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep their environment clean, give them plenty of attention, and respect their unique personality and needs. In a client’s home, I’m careful to maintain their space just as they left it, keeping everything tidy and treating their home with respect. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and stress-free while their family is away.

“Payton is awesome and my two little pups loved her. She did exactly what they needed (their small and sometimes need a shorter walk and just a little playtime instead). Can’t wait to have her walk them again!”

About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.

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.

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
- 96% 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.
