“Tony was fabulous! My dog loved him right away at the meet and greet and I knew she would be in good hands. He shade jumped making sure she didn’t get to hot in the sun, brought in packages, took lots of pictures, and left great notes! We’ll definitely be scheduling him again in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Alaina! I am a respected female pet sitter, ready to sit or walk your pet next! I have 4 years of experience. I am currently a dog bather as well working at a doggy daycare part time. I adore all types of animals. I promise to give endless belly rubs and ensure a safe environment for your fur babies. Rather it’s washing your fur babies or taking care of your animals. I am surrounded daily by animals because of both of my part time jobs as a bather and kennel attendant. I promise to always have a safe, trusted, environment. With my four years experience I can ensure that your fur baby with always be taking care of. I always treat every animal like if it was my own.

About: I'm a proud dog dad to my poodle, Benji, and I also have experience caring for dogs belonging to other families. Caring for Benji is part of my everyday life, from daily walks and feeding to playtime, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine. I've also looked after another family's dog, which has given me experience adapting to different personalities, habits, and care instructions. I've learned that every dog is unique. Some love staying active and exploring, while others prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I take that responsibility seriously, follow instructions carefully, and am happy to provide photos and updates along the way. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog has a great experience while giving you peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. As a proud dog dad myself, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, including weekdays and weekends, depending on availability. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, companionship while you're at work, or someone to stay with them overnight while you're away, I'm happy to help. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to maintain their regular routines so they feel comfortable and secure while you're gone. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about your pet's personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs or instructions. I'm also happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other beforehand. For dog walks, I will use secure leashes, stay aware of our surroundings, and follow your preferred routes. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a clean, comfortable environment. For overnight house sitting, I'll stay in your home, follow your pet's usual bedtime and morning routines, and provide the companionship and supervision they need. I'll also treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and make sure doors and gates are properly secured. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos throughout your booking. If I notice anything unusual, I'll reach out promptly. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is comfortable, cared for, and in dependable hands while you're away.

“My dog absolutely loves Annalise! Annalise is super dependable, showing up right on time for every walk. She was consistently prompt with getting Ladybug outside for fresh air and exercise while I’m home recovering from surgery and needed an extra hand with my dog! I also appreciated the report updates and photos to describe the walks they went on. I would definitely recommend her, and I know Ladybug will look forward to seeing her again sometime!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 12 years. I absolutely love dogs! (Who doesn’t) I know how much your animal means to you and I will treat them like my own. I am currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to walk, hang or chill with your dog. The only time I am unavailable are evenings due to volleyball. Other than that, I have a very open schedule. I treat your dog like my own. I will constantly look after them, play with them, train them, if you need, and most importantly, love them.

About: I spent most of my childhood at neighbors’ houses helping walk, play with, and care for their pets. I always knew I wanted one of my own, and when I finally got my dog, people constantly complimented his obedience and sweet, playful personality. I’m a dependable, active, and patient pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I don’t just stop in and leave, but I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and real care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I typically work from home and live near parks, so I look forward to taking your pet(s) on walks, snuggling, and playing with them. I have a fenced in yard, but I always supervise my pets when they are outside. I keep my pets occupied constantly with frozen Kong toys, frozen lick mats, interactive toys, single ingredient treats, single ingredient bully sticks, etc.

About: I have provided care for many kinds of animals since I was a kid! I grew up caring for dogs, horses, cats, and reptiles, with training experience as well. Friends and family know I love each animal I take care of as my own, and have relied on me for care of any pet! I’ve had dogs as small as a mini dachshund to an english mastiff from ages 6 months until seniority. I am currently taking a rest from the typical 9-5 life. What that means for pet owners, is that their pet’s care is my number one priority throughout the day. I try to stick to a routine they are used to for comfort. I have had pets needing many different types of environments. I can do early morning meds/meals, walks and other enrichment activity’s, and any evening needs! Every animal is special and requires their own care, and I am here to do everything they need for their mental and physical health.

About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! I am back in Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $70 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost starts at $80 & up! $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $20-25 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too—as priced above. I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. Hope to hear from you soon! I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal. I have several years experience with different kinds of animals- including reptiles.

About: I have watched my cousin's shi tzu many times for extended periods of time. It has went well every time. Also I have over 15 years of having a pet in my home. Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.

“Melissa was an absolute lifesaver for us. We had an unexpected situation come up, and she stepped in on short notice to take care of Reggie, Stella, and Mayhem without hesitation. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands during a stressful time. We could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’ll absolutely be booking with Melissa again and are so grateful for her help when we needed it most. Highly recommend!”

About: I have years of experience with pet care including working at Doggy Daycare, Pet Supplies Plus, as well as owning my own furry friends before! I am comfortable and familiar with all types of dogs, big and small, high or low energy, and love catering a personal plan to whatever your pets needs are. I am currently at home 24/7 and can be attentive to any animals at all times! I am more than happy to walk and play with any dogs that need more attention & are high energy. This fits into my daily/weekly routine because I am currently not working and would love some furry friends to keep me company and hang out with! I live an active lifestyle so walking is not a problem for me and I love being outdoors! I care for pets in my home or clients’ homes by being efficient and personal in my care. I love catering to specific pets’ needs and will treat them like they are one of my own. I love walking & have a huge yard for dogs to play and run around in!

About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Willoughby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Willoughby is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $17 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 1,849 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Willoughby. 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 Willoughby. 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 Willoughby 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 Willoughby. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
