About: I lost my pup of 18 years this past July, 2026. As a former pet owner, I’ve also had good and bad sitter experiences. So, I understand how hard it is to find a trustworthy sitter for your furry baby. I hope I can alleviate that worry and give you peace of mind while you are away! I was a primary caregiver to my beloved pup from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training her to become a well-behaved happy pup and enjoyed making her a power bowl in her senior years. Other than my pet, I have experienced taking care of medium to big size dogs (up to 100 lbs) and cats. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, All-American boxer, and cyclist, that means your furry baby will get a lot of activities in with me! And from my previous care experiences, I have a good sense of reading animal behavior for whether they need attention or they are sick, etc. I am a young professional chemist working typically 9-5 but flexible to adjust as needed and teach kids boxing for fun on the weekend. That means I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention and exercises. *Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. *If you are booking for holidays, please contact me before booking! Otherwise, I try my best to update my availability calendar. *If any pet parent is seeking a full time sitter, please indicate when booking. Otherwise, I am available for your pet every 4-8hrs during the day. *For senior pups, I would recommend house sitting to minimize introducing any changes to their surroundings and routine. *Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with a balcony in a quiet neighborhood. My condo complex has many unfenced green fields. And I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. It’s important to note that since I am in a condo, I only accept one pet at a time and keep your pet outdoor active! *House Sitting: I try to keep your pet’s routine as similar as possible. I will ask you upon our meet&greet to show me his/her daily routine, disclose any indoor cameras/recordings, and house safety.

About: I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a campground and my family and I were very pet-oriented. I have an abundance of experience caring for all types of pets, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, birds, and bunnies! I’m a full time student during the school year at CU Boulder, so I will be around and dedicated to caring for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and adjustable to your care needs :) I live in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood to walk your pets in! I’m also a 1 minute walk from a fenced-in park that dogs love to play in. My 2 girl roommates are certified animal lovers so your pet will be bombarded with love here :)

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner with a sweet senior pup of my own. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pup I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and energy levels, including senior dogs, and I can administer oral medications when needed. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I currently have flexible weekday and weekend availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is simple: a happy pup and a pet parent who can relax knowing their dog is in good hands. :) I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends, which allows me to accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household preferences. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and behavior and always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away

“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love playing and walking with dogs, but also love the downtime and chill attitudes cats have. Taking care of pets brings me a lot of joy and excited to care for your fur babies! I’m currently working a fully remote job. I live an active lifestyle so rest assured your dog will be walked! If you have a cat, I can also come by during the workday to check in on them. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my partner with wonderful natural light and non-smoking environment. Your pets will have peace of mind that the place is just for them.

About: I’ve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over five years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—including large dogs and bigger cat breeds. I’m comfortable handling active dogs, giving them plenty of exercise, and providing calm, loving care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is full-time remote but flexible, and I’m happy to work with most schedules. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I create a safe, loving environment in my own home and will be sure to do the same in yours. I follow your pet’s routines, ensure they’re comfortable, and keep them supervised during walks or playtime. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, providing calm companionship, or keeping their space clean and cozy, I always put their well-being first.

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and well cared for. As a medical student, I have developed excellent time management skills and maintain a structured schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and favorite activities. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space, maintaining a clean, calm, and secure environment so pets feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Worthington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Worthington is $44 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $45 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 27,101 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Worthington. 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 Worthington. 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 Worthington 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 Worthington. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
