“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”
About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!
About: I have had a dog or cat, male & female, most of my life in both urban, suburban, and rural settings. Comfortable with all breeds and needs. I’m not afraid of the dirty work and am not lazy. I will accomodate your needs and follow your instructions verbatim. I will treat your pet as my own. I have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week but I know well in advance what that will be and can control it with adequate notice. I’m gainfully employed already, but recent life changes have left me with additional free time and a need for supplemental income. I truly love animals (just check my Instagram feed...) and can handle anything. I will ensure your furbaby is treated with the same care/love that you would provide he or she.
“Andrea did an excellent job. This was out first meeting and Butter(my dog) had a fantastic time with her. She was on time and friendly with Butter and myself. I’ve already rebooked her to another walk and to take care of him while I’m traveling. Thanks Andrea!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years—both my own and others’—and I truly treat each animal like family. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and TLC. Whether it’s following a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or giving your fur baby all the snuggles and attention they deserve, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to be flexible with pet drop-ins, walks, and in-home sitting. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening visits during the week, and have extended availability on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or just cozy cuddle time. I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. I’m mindful about doors, gates, and any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both you and your pets.

“Awia has been the best dog walker for my dog Duke! She went above and beyond caring for him as an elderly dog and cared for him like one of her own. recommend her highly enough!”
About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: Hi, I’m Tyra! I have 9+ years of hands-on pet care experience, including professional kennel, daycare, boarding, and private pet-sitting settings. At Pet Suites, I completed and passed the required assessment to lead All Day Play groups, where I independently supervised large groups of either small or large dogs throughout the day. That experience strengthened my ability to read canine body language, manage different play styles and temperaments, recognize when intervention is needed, and maintain a safe, structured environment. My background also includes feeding, exercise, behavior monitoring, sanitation, medication support, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I bring that professional experience into every booking while still giving each pet individualized attention based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work primarily from home during the week, which allows me to be present with pets throughout much of the day. My job also includes scheduled provider visits, so there may be periods when I’m away from home. I plan pet care around my workday with morning and evening walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention when I’m home. Weekends allow for even more flexibility and activity. I always aim to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while they’re in my care. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive, personalized care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty routines, and individual preferences. I supervise interactions carefully, pay close attention to body language and behavior, and provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and connected.

I can occasionally help with overnights as well. I grew up with animals and am a huge animal lover. I would love to meet you and your pets to see if it's a good match. I typically schedule meet and greets before confirming a booking to ensure it is a good fit for both us and your pets. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! I work remotely full-time, so I am flexible on location during the day. I have previously worked from clients’ homes throughout the day to spend extra time with pets during drop-in visits. I care for pets in clients’ home. I love animals and treat them as my own. I am happy to discuss any care needs ahead of time to make sure you are comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and fostered dogs ever since 8th grade (I am now a going into my third year of college). I’ve volunteered at shelters and have dog-sat over night before! I’ve also been able to train each and every dog I’ve had with basic skills and very cool niche skills I also as of June 2026 work at a vets office/facility as a kennel technician! I am currently on my summer break from college, though I am also working part-time at a vets office as a kennel technician. There I administer dogs and cats, feed them, walk them, give them their daily meds, clean cages, do nail trims, give baths, and more! My work schedule may vary as it’s a part time job but during the summer you can expect a few times a week for up to 3-6 hours per day! If your dogs also get along well with other dogs I can take them to work with me! (Cats unknown) I take out the pets when needed and feed them when it’s time for them to eat and make sure they always have water in their water bowl. I will crate an animal if told to and go on walks with the dog if wanted to as well.
About: I have experience pet sitting for neighbors and through a dog kennel. I love each and every animals I meet and will not leave until every need is met! I currently on summer break and have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I prefer to keep Sunday’s free. However, if your dog needs me I’ll be there! I currently have a gsp and take him on walks every morning. We have a large yard so he gets to go out and play often. When watching others pets I make sure to check on them at least three times a day. I tend to stay longer at night so they can wind down and get comfortable before I leave.

Jay has been wonderful with Ozzy on his weekly walks! She’s reliable, patient, caring, and always kept us updated after each visit. We always felt comfortable knowing Ozzy was in good hands with her. We’re very grateful for all the care and kindness she’s shown him and would highly recommend her!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Lauren. Communication has been excellent from the start, and she has gone above and beyond helping us navigate life with a new puppy. I especially appreciate how attentive she is to behaviors, routines, and any concerns they notice, always keeping us informed and offering thoughtful feedback. It’s clear they genuinely care about our pup’s wellbeing and development. Reliable, observant, and incredibly caring — highly recommend!

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 Westerville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
