“Susana was truly amazing! She was willing to help out with little notice…a serious life saver! And she was so easy to communicate with. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.
“Alicia did an excellent job, she was very patient, loving and caring. She showed much compassion towards my dog who wasn't as willing to go with her. She soon did and together they had such a great time on there walk. I would HIGHLY recommend.”
About: I have two English Springer Spaniels, so I am very comfortable with high energy, in your face dogs, and I have a lot of patience for dogs who aren't the best on their leash. I also have a bearded dragon, so I am happy to care for reptiles, as well as dogs, cats, and other pets. I am a stay at home mom with three teenagers, so I am very flexible with my schedule and can work your around your pet needs. Happy to give your pets all the love and snuggles they need! My 10-year-old springer is excellent with other dogs, and I am happy to bring her along if your dog needs socialization. I love going on long walks and will make sure your dog gets all the exercise they need.
“Tyler is a great dog walker! He is very patient, communicative, reliable and awesome with larger breeds! I have an American Bully and he takes time to play with her and lets her sniff around on their walks. Really grateful for his weekly drop ins and walks with my pup! Tyler and Cashmere, have become great walking buddies. 10/10!!”
“Trish was an excellent caregiver to our dog— it took almost no time at all for Gigi to bond with her! We were able to enjoy our getaway and could rest assured that Gigi was in very good hands!”
About: I have had my own dogs for 10 years. They both passed from cancer. They opened up a whole new world for me and made me realize how much I love animals! Not only to care for them but provide the affection they need that heals me and them! I am now a cat owner to two as well! They’re both 8, and the best cats I could ever ask for! With two different personalities and various health problems they have provided me with so much experience! I am currently unemployed! While I am usually hanging around my house providing care for my 2 cats and many nephews and niece I have so much free time that I would love to share by providing any pet service I can! I am also a mom to a toddler too so it’s usually just us! She loves animals too so she could accompany as well if allowed! I will always provide safety and make sure the animal is in my sight at all times! I’ve dealt with many of puppies and dogs of my own who are escape artists! Making sure they are watched at all times is my priority. Same goes for cats as well, making sure they get enough attention and playing time when I come and visit!
About: Experienced with all ages, I provide personalized care, including training puppies and assisting senior pets, ensuring their happiness, comfort, and well-being. Dogs are loyal protectors that need to be protected. Pet care is my priority, seamlessly fitting into my daily routine with flexible hours to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I provide a safe, loving environment, follow specific care instructions, and prioritize trust to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in any setting. Don't worry.
About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 5. I have also had neighbors, family, and friends rely on me with walking and taking care of all different types of dogs ranging from any age. This gave me lots of experience with dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently working a part time job of only 4 hours shifts; this gives me lots of free time to play and take care of your dog! I am very flexible with your rules you follow with your dog. I have moved a lot with my dog and have been anywhere from a fenced in yard and letting a dog out on their own to having to be put on a leash at all times. Anything and everything works for me!
“Olesja has been our trusted dog walker and sitter for a full year now and we truly cannot imagine Otter’s life without her! She switches up the walk routes every day and is very in tune with his energy levels, poop habits, and all his little quirks. We love that each walk is a mini training lesson working on his manners and triggers (like electric scooters!). If you are looking for a dog walker who truly loves your pup like her own, Olesja is the one!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have had dogs just about my entire adult life. I had a miniature pinscher named Trey for 15 years and he was awesome! I also had a terrier mix named Alice for 12 years whom I loved very much. I have not had a dog for a few years now and miss getting to play/walk with a four-legged friend and figured this would be a fun way to scratch that itch. I have a sunroom that overlooks acres of woods for your pup to stare/bark at and a big front window to guard and let the mailman know who's boss. I work from home and can hang out with your pup all day in my house. I have a big yard they can play in and can take them for frequent walks. I do not have any pets so your pup will get my full attention. I have had dogs for 20+ years of my life and am a huge animal lover!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as they have always been a family pet for me, as we typically had 4 at time. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors and friends. I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have no pets at home so I am able to stay and pet sit. I have a car so can take dogs on rides and take them to parks and out for walks. I will make sure they are comfortable.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Westlake is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake
Audrey is wonderful with Charlie. She is super friendly and flexible, and our puppy loves her! We have her in three days a week at lunchtime to either walk or have playtime if the weather is bad. She is always prompt, her communication is wonderful, and she clearly loves dogs. We are so pleased!
He walks my dog twice a week and has been wonderful. He's dependable, caring, and clearly loves animals. It's reassuring to know my dog is getting great exercise and attention while I'm busy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Maddy was incredible!!! My dog Peanut loved her and was always excited to see her for his walk. She was always on time and tried to keep him active for the full duration! When he didn’t want to walk, she would opt for playing inside. Was the best to leave my dog in the care of someone I trust.
Emilee was so great with our dog, Lou! She was so patient with her when she was anxious during their first meeting. She gave Lou time to warm up without being too forward. She was very detailed in her messages to me and took the sweetest pictures! I have already booked Emilee for our pup again!

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 Westlake. 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.

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.
