About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! Walking, drop ins, or boarding. Whatever your needs are, I am happy to give love to all your fur babies. I am available for walks or drop ins every day before 7:30 AM, at lunch time, and I am also available after 4:30 everyday and all day on weekends. I live right next to a dog park that we love to frequent. I have a very friendly boarder collie/ golden retriever. I also have a toddler so I ask that all dogs staying in my home be friendly with children.

About: Growing up we had a dog and a cat, then as an adult, I was a hoomin owned by three cats. I've since chosen a hoomin partner who is very allergic to animals, so I get my animal lovies and playtime in with other folks' animals. I excel at being able to bond with animals and meet them where they are (not where I want them to be). I look forward to being a partner with you, in the care, maintenance, and love of your favorite fur-kid(s)!! Additional note: I am insured via Pet Care Insurance for pet care, pet walking, and home services. I am a non-traditional/contract worker with a lot of flexibility. I prefer to work within a ten mile radius of the Mill Run area of Hilliard, but willing to travel to help out with your fur-kids and homes. Fresh air and sunshine is ideal for all creatures, especially our furry friends and I love to explore the out of doors with happy animals and friends. That said, I also love to have some playtime with fur kids to expand their horizons and provide active brain time for them.

About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them. I will walk, clean, or spend time with your dog anytime you’d like! I’m always available to spend time with doggies and I’m mainly available in the mornings/afternoon but sometimes can fit in a night visit as well. I make sure to leave the clients home in as good condition as I found it. I try to not make any messes and entertain the dogs

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.

About: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.

I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and keeping your pet happy and safe while you’re away. I understand every pet is different so I am here to follow your instructions to give your pet the same love I give my own. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. During the week I am able to come between the hours of 8:30am to 6:00pm. On the weekend I’m available between the hours of 11:00am to 4:00pm. I am happy to work with your pets routine and discuss specific scheduling needs in advance. When caring for your pet inside your home I will make sure to follow their normal routine and give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I will follow all directions for feeding, medication, and care provided. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated on your pets with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I especially love dog sitting on the weekend, some holidays and for overnight boarding. I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for a potty break. I typically work during the week from 7:15-2:45 p.m. Weekends, some holidays and evening boarding are the best times for me to dog sit. Hope to meet you soon! I have a fenced patio, and my condo community has lots of green areas for dogs to walk and play. I live in a quiet neighborhood with respectful residents. Your dog will have plenty of space to explore and may even see another dog on our walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Watkins. 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 Watkins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Watkins after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watkins. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
