Guadalupe is great. She to Myron for a nice long walk last night. She followed all my special instructions for him, and is generally very easy to work with. I think that was my 2nd or third booking with her, and I will definitely continue to choose her.

Isabella was great. We had just adopted a deaf dog from a shelter,. we didn’t know how he would react to her but she did so well with him and made sure he was comfortable before approaching him . She helped us with our pup not having any accidents which was a big relief.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.

About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.

Samantha did a great job with our Rocco! We originally were a bit nervous because Rocco is a pitbull and to some the bully breed can be intimidating, but once we all got to meet and she saw Rocco for who he really is, it was a good experience! Rocco gets excited when we tell him that he’s going on his walks now in the morning! Can wait to continue to have Samantha as our Dog Walker!

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.

About: I have a soft spot for older dogs and the extra patience they deserve. Senior pets need a slower pace and someone who really pays attention — and that's exactly what I provide. On the other hand, I absolutely love a young, energetic dog who keeps me on my toes too! I grew up with Chihuahuas and have regularly babysat my family's dogs over the years, so while I may not have a dog of my own right now, pets have always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work remotely so I am avaliable anytime to fufill your dog's need's house sitting or drop ins! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home, so I'm around all day and can give your dog constant attention and companionship. I live in a two-story house with my partner and have a backyard, perfect for some outdoor time. We're also just a block from the lake, so adventurous pups will love the walks! I'm available for sitting pretty much anytime, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Please note the backyard is not fenced, so leashed outdoor time is always practiced for safety. When a pet is in my care, they're treated like a true member of the family. Since I work from home, I'm available all day to make sure they're never left alone for long. I love getting outside, so expect plenty of walks and adventures — we're a block from the lake, so there's always somewhere fun to explore! For boarding, pets sleep in their own bed or crate so they have a comfortable, familiar space to wind down. I always follow the pet owner's routines and instructions as closely as possible, whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness is always my top priority.

Sheryl is amazing!!! We have a 90 lb lab, and she handled him beautifully! Browser had such an instant positive reaction to Sheryl that we knew she was the right person. Sheryl came same day with almost no notice - I had just gotten out of the hospital and needed someone to walk Browser. She is used to handling large dogs and it showed. Great communication skills, very personable. We will definitely continue to use Sheryl - what a great find!!

Very communicative. Gave my pup what he needed. I am very pleased. It is a little nerve-wracking to open your house and little puppy up to a stranger, but Kyle is a man who builds trust, and he does a very good job. Thank you Kyle!

About: I've been around animals of all kinds my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, rats...you name it! I've been the go-to sitter for my friends and family for years and take great pride in providing in-home care to their furry (or scaly) family members. There isn't a bigger lover of animals out there! I am the Development Director for ALIVE Rescue in Salem Lakes, WI and volunteer with the animals on a weekly basis. I am certified in fear free training and have experience handling dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and temperaments from puppies to seniors. I have a reputation for cultivating immediate bonds with those that are often considered shy, timid, or unsure of people. I have a special place in my heart for these kind souls and truly believe that all they are is miss-understood. I do my best to offer them a safe space to be themselves – whatever that might look like. I take my time to earn their trust and let them drive how much and how quickly we interact. I believe in my heart of hearts that animals are the purest form of love we have on this planet, and I think they are able to feel that through my energy. I work from home full time which allows me to pay extra special attention to your fur babies. I can make frequent potty breaks, administer medications, or just provide love and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet is my number one priority, I'm here to help you and your fur baby and will take any and all care instructions to heart. I think it's important to keep any schedules and routines as consistent as possible and will take just as good care of your home as I will your four legged angels.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments throughout my whole life. I have some experience assisting pets recovering from surgery, that require specific/scheduled care, and those who are physically healthy, but perhaps are just very slow to trust. I am more than happy to meet your pet where they are, and to assist with their needs as much as you are comfortable. Due to seasonal lay-offs at my workplace, I am currently available all throughout the day. I am happy to make trips throughout the day if needed, and/or multiple days throughout the week. I take my dog for regular walks, and am happy to do the same for yours. I also do my best to present a calm and controlled energy with animals, in an attempt to let them grow more comfortable with me at their own pace. I am prepared to be patient if your pets are more shy, and playful if they are more energetic and friendly. Every dog and cat is different, and I do my best to match their energy and respect their boundaries, while ensuring I am also meeting their needs.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wadsworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Wadsworth on Rover is $31.08 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,766 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wadsworth. 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 Wadsworth. 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 Wadsworth.

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 Wadsworth. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
