“Maria is absolutely incredible! She’s super communicative for every walk she does for our dog jojo, and always goes above and beyond. We couldn’t be more happy with our experience over the last two months.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes - I grew up with Labs and took on dog sitting when I was 18. Now 23, I have 3 dogs of my own and care for them like they’re my children. I have experience with dogs from Labs to Corgis to Huskys - I also have experience in training my own dogs with a local program, so I am well versed in being a responsible care taker. My schedule is very flexible, I am in school for healthcare management and my classes are online. I have been very blessed with many recurring clients, so most days of the week, you can find me hanging out with their pets and I’d love to meet yours! In our home, we love to keep our dogs active and socialize them. We take them on short trips to Hocking Hills, play in the backyard and go on walks to the local park. In a client’s home, I am always considering the dog’s typical routine to keep them happy while their owners are away.
“Jacqueline is amazing with my dog and 2 cats! So sweet to them, and patient with my dog’s little quirks. She does a great job keeping me updated and takes the cutest pictures of them. I’m very thankful.”

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 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've owned dogs since high-school. I blessed to meet my soul dog 6yrs ago, but unfortunately lost him to cancer a year after we adopted him. Our current pup, Harley is a huge couch potato and loves kids... but she's my husband's doggo. I'm looking for families who can appreciate having a caretaker for their pets, who wants to be best friends with every dog and cat she meets and will love them like family. I work from home Monday- Friday. Which gives me lots of flexibility to provide care for your pets as needed. My job requires me to be detail oriented, good at multitasking and extremely reliable. All traits that I can bring into providing care for your furry best friend! I have great communication skills, can follow pet schedules as required for food/walks/potty breaks etc, and administer medication. As well as providing all the other important needs your pets might have, playtime, snuggles and treats!
“Lauren has been amazing!! Ive booked with her to walk dog on several occasions. She is always prompt for appointments. If there's ever any conflicts schedule, her communication is always excellent! I will continue to book with her for dog walking needs. I couldn't recommend her enough!”

About: I have been caring and owning dogs for over 5 years. I have most experience dog sitting and walking; and I am most excited to meet all your fury friends! I have roughly 2 and a half years of house sitting. Whatever it may be: cleaning, cooking, dog-walking, dog sitting, etc. I can do it! No matter how busy I might be, I will always make time for animal care. Weekends and MWF are always the best days when it comes to animal care, as Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slightly busier days. But morning to night, I can handle feedings, potty breaks, and play time. My own pets are on a schedule for feedings and playtime and walks. I guarantee that no matter the pet, whatever is needed for your fur babies, I will fulfill it. I personally love a good cuddle on the couch and a walk on some nature trails to stretch those legs, but anything from pet yoga to swimming, I'll make sure any animal is taken care of.
“Magdalena was outstanding! She was very attentive and caring with our dog, and she engaged with him in different ways, including walks in the neighborhood and the nearby park and playing with him in the back yard and inside. Our dog gets anxious when we have to leave him at home, but she really helped mitigate his anxiety. We will gladly use her services again!”

About: The past couple of years, I have been house sitting which turned into dog sitting for a few family friends and have always had positive experiences so decided to take my talents (if you will lol) and bring myself to Rover! I have had a couple dogs growing up who have now passed away due to illness/old age but loved being around/taking care of them! I also understand dogs are people's children and will treat yours as such. I'm currently working via laptop freelancing so my schedule is very flexible. For in home stays, I am used to house sitting as well as taking care of animals so would return your home and animal as you left them. The only times I would really be out of the home would be to go to the gym or grab food so I would be attentive to your dog's needs! I am very easy to adapt to any situation and have had experience with multiple different breeds. If there is anything you are worried about, I would just be a text or a call away. I am very chill, responsible, and will make sure your dog is completely taken care of so you can enjoy your time away, stress-free.
About: Animal lover since birth, caregiver for about 10 years. I love to spend time with animals! I have 2 dogs currently who I love so much. Your pets will be in good hands and I will treat them as if they were my own. Currently: I have open availability. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate for last minute changes. Please let me know at least 1 day ahead of time if there are any major changes. I have 2 adorable puppies who I adore with all my heart. We have a fenced in yard big enough for both, and we love to go for daily walks. For my senior dogs, I make him homecooked with kibble meals due to dietary restrictions. Every pet parent knows what works for their pets best, and I hope to uphold that. I believe all animals are special and I hope the care for my own pets can reflect in the care I will provide for your animals. 🫶
About: I’ve been taking care of our furry friends since I was 9 years old. Cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, horses, all of them! I just feel closer to our fur babies then most. They speak so little yet provide more for us then anyone will ever know. So solemnly I swear to take care of any animal I’m brought! I have a pretty open schedule, I love and love to dedicate my time and efforts for all of my furry companions! I work at a puppy store but I have the best schedule that allows me to do things like this! I have people who are allergic to dogs at my house or I would gladly accept watching them there, so I’d be going to a clients house, walking them, etc.
About: I have always taken care of my own pets and have pet-sat for years, for both dogs and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them. I am looking for a part-time flexible job that will fit into my current schedule. I am available with notice and can be available early or late. If there is a request for me to stay at your home, I require an in person visit before booking. I will only take care of pets in your home. I currently have a dog and 4 cats and could not upset their balance. I enjoy walking with the dogs and playing fetch. I also enjoy down time just talking with them and petting them.
About: have extensive experience caring for cats with special needs and common health conditions. I’m familiar with upper respiratory infections (such as feline herpesvirus), ear mites, digestive sensitivities, and post-surgery recovery care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and ear treatments as instructed by pet parents or veterinarians. I pay close attention to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, ear scratching, appetite changes, litter box habits, and overall behavior to help monitor a cat’s condition. I understand how to properly isolate cats when needed, maintain a clean and low-stress environment, and follow hygiene protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination—especially in multi-cat households. I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive cats and take a gentle, calm approach to build trust. My goal is always to keep cats comfortable, safe, and stress-free while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended stays, and I make sure pets are never rushed or left unattended for long periods of time. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I always monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced in managing multi-pet households, maintaining proper hygiene, and ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog along with other family member and neighbor pets. I have experience with small and large dogs so no matter what type of dog you have I’m happy to help! I currently work full time in a leasing position so I work during the weekends but am off during the week. I am open to a long term set schedule or a more flexible schedule as well! I live in a spacious apartment right across from a great dog park and next to a great walking path as well so there are plenty of spaces to get out to walk and play!
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”


About: I have lived with 2 golden retrievers since I was born, one male and one female. Both were large dogs and full of energy. I have also looked after neighbor's dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am currently in grad school for physical therapy at Ohio State! I have extra time in the afternoons/evenings and on the weekends, and am looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I am active in my daily life, and love long walks with dogs who need it! I am super attentive to your pet's needs. I have a golden retriever at home, so I know what type of attention they need and am more than happy to give it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,307 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
