About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve had experience with dogs at all stages of life and have trained every dog I’ve owned. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every pet has their own personality and needs. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, whether they needed some extra training, exercise, attention, or simply someone they could trust to care for their pets while they were away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My own dog, Lucy, is a big part of my life, and she’s taught me just how much personality and love our four-legged friends can bring into our lives. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and become their new BFF! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time at Raising Cane’s, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. My shifts are generally 6–8 hours, and I’m able to provide pet care before and after work. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also able to accommodate different routines and special instructions whenever possible. If your pet needs medication, I can make arrangements to provide it and can coordinate my schedule to make sure they receive it on time. I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the visit and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for while you’re away I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment, always have access to fresh water, and are supervised during walks and playtime. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel happy and loved while they’re in my care.

“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.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets have their own personality and routine. I’ll treat every dog and cat like they are my own I work full-time but have flexibility in my schedule, particularly in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits and can often accommodate additional times with advance notice. I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that fits your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines and home access. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to doors, gates and leashes, and will keep you updated after each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life and also train my cat to play fetch and tag. I also have taken care of senior dogs during their final moments. Im currently a stay at home housewife and have some free time and I love animals so I definitely don’t mind how long or price for the care I’ll be giving. Also, if I am unavailable due to me, house sitting my husband could always attend and he is a Rover user. I give my cat and my friends animals when watching them all kinds of vitamins and supplements with salmon, fish, squid, and all kinds of other stuff. I give them attention so they know that they are loved and cared for. If the cat at my place is an issue he could stay in the bedroom for the time being
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love caring for them and playing with them. I have experience with dogs from the ages of puppies to 15 year old senior dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I am available 7 days a week! I am also usually available on short notice. I love to play with pets and their toys both inside and outside, go for walks, give food and treats, crate if needed, and clean up after pets.
About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
About: Hi!! My name is Mairead and I am a senior at OSU from the Cleveland area! I am home in Cle for winter break Dec 11-Jan 9 and am looking for new clients!! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last couple of years. I have experience pet sitting all sizes, different breeds, and even multiple dogs at once. I grew up with 3 dogs in my house, with different personality types and needs. Additionally, I have experience with giving oral medications and I understand every dog has their quirks and specific needs. I am so excited to get to know your pets! <3 I am currently working part-time at a pharmacy. My schedule there changes every week so my availability mainly depends on that. If I am not at work, I am available to do multiple drop ins and walks throughout the day. I am also available for house sitting especially on a weekend! I plan to update my availability daily so that will be accurate! I love to spend time with your pets while I am sitting and like to make sure I am watching them at all times. I always take them out on a leash and do frequent potty breaks.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years.

“Sam did a great job coming by to walk our pups while we were gone for the day. Provided updates and made sure the dogs were doing well. Looking forward to working with Sam in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of horses, goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. I am well versed in animal care, I have three dogs of my own. I know that mental stimulation as well as physical is an important part of animal care. Making them feel at home when you are traveling is a top priority for me. I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. I know my schedule months in advance so scheduling care for your animals is a breeze. Having 3 dogs of my own reinforces the “dog first” lifestyle we lead. I have a large (1.7acres) backyard that is open grass. It is partially fenced in. All dogs will be kept on a long line or a gps collar so they can get to run but are not out of my sight. There are foxes and a lot of animals pass through our yard. My dogs love to sniff all their scents.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Westlake is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westlake. 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 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 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 Westlake 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 Westlake. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
