About: Hi! I’m Kirsten, a caring and dependable animal lover who will treat your pets like they’re my own. 🐾 I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pets comfortable and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to give them plenty of attention and care! 💕 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I have two cats of my own who I care for daily, and I grew up with dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs. 🐾 I’m used to feeding, cleaning up after pets, playtime, walks, and of course giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to adjust my routine around each pet’s individual schedule and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I currently have two friendly cats, so I always make sure any visiting pets are introduced carefully and given their own space when needed. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. 🐾

About: I always had pets growing up, and starting dog-sitting when I was active duty Navy serving in Washington DC. We boarded countless dogs and loved it! Once I separated and we moved to Kirtland, I did dog boarding until we decided to get cats. Now that I can't have dogs in my home, I still want to get my dog fix! Recently left the corporate world to do something I enjoy, and that is caring for animals! Currently, I am available all the time! Until something changes with my work situation, I am dedicating my time to my kids, animals, and starting my own business. As mentioned, I boarded dogs for many years in my own home. Since I wont have dogs in my house anymore, I will treat the dogs as if they were mine when I come for a visit or a walk. Lots of love and burning some of that energy! But respecting people's privacy in their own home.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and responsible dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure both you and your dog feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I build my schedule around being consistent and dependable. I’m available in the mornings for feeding, walks, and check-ins before starting my day, and I’m home in the afternoons, which gives me time to spend with dogs for exercise, play, and attention. I do work part-time in the evenings about five days a week, but I plan around that so dogs are never left without care for long. Before work, I make sure they’ve had a walk, time outside, and attention, and when I get home, I stick to an evening routine with another walk, feeding if needed, and time to wind down. On my days off and weekends, I have much more flexibility, so I’m able to give extra time, longer walks, and more one-on-one attention. Overall, I’m very structured with my time, so even with a busy schedule, pet care is something I prioritize and stay consistent with. Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for like they’re my own. I keep a consistent, structured routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re never bored or ignored—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out so they have company. I pay close attention to their mood and energy, so high-energy dogs stay active and tired, while calmer dogs get a more relaxed, easygoing day. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions, because I know the little details matter. Bottom line: your dog gets consistency, attention, and someone who actually cares—not just someone stopping by.

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: Hi, I’m Lora! I have experience with a wide range of dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from larger breeds like labs and huskies to smaller, high-energy or more timid dogs who may need a little extra patience. I live an active lifestyle, so your dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention based on their needs. I will work with you to create a plan that allows your dog(s) to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My current routine is mainly focused on keeping up with grad school. I am enrolled full time in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at John Carroll University. I have classes 3x a week for 2.5-3 hours. This would be the only time I would need to leave your pet(s) alone. I live in a 2 story home within walking distance of a park suitable for dogs. I do not have any personal pets in my home. If you are looking for me to host, I live alone so it would just be your pet(s) and me. I will be respectful of not having guests over when I am caring for your pet(s) to ensure they’re given proper attention and feel comfortable in their environment. I have a partially fenced back yard and my front yard is not fenced.

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.

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!

About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Willoughby is $17 per walk as of October 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 October 2026, there are 1,861 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willoughby. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

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.
