About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail! I am not shied away by medications either, as I have plenty of experience with administering them to both cats and dogs. I currently work full-time as a special education teacher. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm, and I'm very open on weekends. I can also accept longer bookings on weekdays that fall under school breaks! I take pet parent concerns to heart, and I follow written directions down to the letter! I am very attentive to detail and strive to make each experience a positive one. I will ensure I am doing everything possible to keep pets safe and happy in my clients' homes. I can clean up toys as needed, fill water bowls, and scoop litter boxes to maintain a neat environment.

About: Over the course of my childhood, my family and I never had less than 2 dogs at a time. I have dog sat a handful of times, both for multiple nights or just fun play dates! I offer gentle, loving, and smiley fun for your awesome dog! I want you and your dog(s) to feel confident that I am a safe, kind choice! I am pursuing my doctorate’s in Occupational Therapy at OSU! I am free Friday and Saturday, with occasional class requirements. These are great days for me to care for your dog! While I won’t be offering services at my apartment, I believe in safety, love, and respect for you and your pets while I care for them. It can be scary trusting your dog with someone new, but by growing up with many dogs myself I can assure you that I embody those beliefs in my care.

About: I have several years of trusted pet-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic pit bulls and playful puppies to cats and even chickens. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to giving every animal the same love and attention they get at home. I am working full time. But my schedule is a bit flexible. I work every other Saturday. However I also have every other Wednesday off. Work hours during the week is 9-6 and every other Saturday from 10-5 I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I focus on keeping your home tidy, your pets happy, and their daily habits consistent. My goal is to make their time without you feel safe, calm, and stress-free.

“Jamie is wonderful! We booked Jamie for a dog walking session with our family dog Willow. Before the scheduled walk, we arranged for a Meet and Greet. It’s obvious that Jamie loves dogs and other animals. For the dog walk, she provided us a full update on how Willow did and also sent us pictures. We were very pleased with Jamie’s level of care she took with Willow and will 100% book with Jamie in the future. Thank you Jamie!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for neighbors, myself, and family since I was young. I personally have a soft spot for seniors and those pups that need a little extra TLC and patience. My schedule is currently open so I have open availability all day and all week to help you with your fur babies in any way possible. I care for pets in your home the way I’d care for pets in my own. I currently have a senior fear reactive dog and a cat in my home, so I prefer keeping your animals in their space.

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is one of the happiest parts of my day. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet-not just to feed them or let them outside, but to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is an energetic adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a shy cat who prefers quiet company, I’ll meet them where they are. Every animal has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them happiest. One thing you can count on from me is communication. I’ll keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Friends, neighbors, and repeat clients trust me because I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every home with respect. I follow routines carefully, pay attention to the little details, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait to meet your furry fam! 🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺 Caring for pets has become one of my favorite parts of my week. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day, and I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks or spending quiet time with cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I love to keep pets on their normal schedule as much as possible, following your instructions carefully and making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!

About: I grew up with dogs since I was 6 years old. While I don’t currently have a pet myself, friends and family have been able to rely on me to watch their pets while they are out for the day or on vacation. I have watched/been around many different kinds of dogs. I currently am working from home so I have a lot of flexibility with walking dogs, letting dogs out or even watching over night if that would be a need. I treat all dogs like my own. I love to go on long walks and would love to be able to take your pet on walks with me. I also just like to spend time with them and make them comfortable while their family is away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Zimmer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Zimmer is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 2,433 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Zimmer. 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 Zimmer. 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 Zimmer 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 Zimmer. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
