Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!

About: I can administer oral or pill medications if needed. I can provide your pet with stimulating exercise because I’m an athlete myself! I can also provide senior care to your pet. I am in charge of the pets my family has at home which includes feeding, walking, and bathing them. I currently work at a medical office in downtown Columbus during the week, Monday through Friday. I usually work from 7:30am-5pm. I am available anytime I get off of work to do drop-ins or walks. I usually don't take drop-ins for the morning due to the time that I have to be at work. For my own cat, I clean her litter box at least once day and she eats Smalls' pet food twice daily. On days when I am taking care of other's pets, my partner takes care of her in my stead. Charisma enjoys going on walks on the weekends and taking naps in my lap. For others pets, I will do my best to keep them as comfortable as possible and to keep the same schedule that you have set for them. If sleeping with them is allowed, that is also something I will do as long as they are comfortable. I will make sure that any mess your pet makes while you’re away will be cleaned up. I can bathe your pet if you want and can be there to keep them company if you wish. Keeping your pet comfortable is my priority!

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.

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: Animals have been my passion ever since I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up and ive owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and turtles. I spent lots of time as a kid taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends. When I was 14 I began volunteering at non-profit animal shelters and when I was old enough I got a job working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital where I oversaw dogs, cats, and birds and handled their food and medications. I also lived in Utah for a year where I worked for an independently owned pet care company that offered services for cats, dogs, birds, and more! I absolutely adore animals, and id love to give your fur and feather babies the care they deserve I am currently available mon-sun from 9:00am - 7:00pm with flexibility depending on the day. I want to put as much time as possible into this! I am very respectful and have in-home pet care experience. I like to leave a home nicer than i found it. I make sure to give your pet the full attention they deserve and go above and beyond

About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.

About: I've been around various dog breed since as a child. From as small as a chihuahua and dachshund to the size of german shepards and Rottweiler. My biggest thing with animals im general is just understanding their personalities and setting them up for success. Always easier than done but thats the challenge and its always rewarding for you and the animal with building long term friendship and goals! I think the challenging experience I've had with a close friend of mine who i see once a year dog sitting his 2 Belgium malnois, senior german shepherd and Rottweiler shepard mix. It was difficult as i had not met the 2 Belgium malnois in person but after being acquainted and exercising them it was a match made in heaven! My close friend hardly let anyone watch his dogs except his wife due to how the dogs are very particular with who they interact with. Other than that I'm excited to meet some fur babies could turn to potential friends with my baby boy! At this current time I work remotely for my full time job 8 to 5. I am very flexible on the weekends. During the day incase I am close enough to let your animal out to use the restroom and let them stretch their legs. I understand how important it is especially being away from home atleast 7hrs is hard for a dog. When it comes to safety I always make sure the dogs does not have access to areas that can cause them harm or they can get into. I've met some sneaky dogs over the years where you have to make sure the trash in a locked closet etc. Always thinking how to keep the dog safe as I would hope someone would do the same for my boy! In regard to trust just have to be patient with the fur baby and take things slow. As humans we dont trust strangers so your pet for sure wouldnt right away. Before agreeing to any service I would always would love to meet the animal atleast twice before fully going through the process to make sure everyone feels safe and secure.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Jefferson on Rover is $19.98 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 2,523 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Jefferson. 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 West Jefferson. 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 West Jefferson.

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 West Jefferson. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
