About: I have taken care of lots of dogs over the years, including my aunt and uncles cute little frenchies Biko, Liko, Remmy and i also have hosted a the craziest frenchie Hugo at my house for a week for my pastor, still trying to convince my dad to get a dog so in the mean time i enjoy taking care of yours. Side note my girlfriends dog rip is my new best friend and he's prepared me for all types of insanity. I'm working part time at Tim Hortons in Saline and there's a big gap most days between it and my evening commitments and it would be perfect time to take care of your pup. I treat all pets like they deserve to be treated, like family. I have always been careful to make sure that the dogs i've taken care of not only dont get out and run away leaving the family devistated, but also that they are really cared for and treated well so they can live healthy happy cute little lives

About: I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs! I have been caring for and house sitting dogs of all breeds since I was 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs making sure to adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and exercise. I am highly attentive, reliable, and committed to satisfying both the pet’s and owner’s needs. I am currently a student; however, I have a very flexible schedule, and can tailor my schedule towards the needs of my clients. I can work weekends. I am a focused and hard worker and will make sure your pet is cared for to the best of my ability. I love all animals and want to make sure that their needs are met through exercise, love, and care.

About: Hi! I am an active, animal-loving nurse looking for fun ways to fill my off days. I have experience with house sitting with dogs & cats, and love being active with animals. I have lived with labs, goldendoodles, and boxer-mixes, as well as small breed dogs. I have updated the calendar for my available days. I work 12 hour shifts so I do not have much time for walks on the days I work. I am flexible and am very familiar with dogs and their needs. I will care for your animal the same way you would, if they have special needs or requests, just let me know. I have recent experience with caring for dogs with recent surgeries and am very comfortable helping with whatever they need.

“Amazing meet and greet!! Had no idea this level of dog care and knowledge even existed. We have a high energy large breed adolescent puppy who met Lynn for the first time and by the end, Olive was calm and relaxed. It was amazing to see the difference between “obedient” and “relaxed”. I feel like Lynn isn’t just a dog sitter but a new member of our family!!”

About: Grew up with a dog for 12 years now and take care of friends pets - mostly dogs, a few times with cats. My family had a cat when I was younger. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, a few cats, and a lizard. Grad student with ample time in class schedule. Avid runner, walker, and hiker & satisfying my love for animals by providing services on Rover (since I can’t commit to my own dog/cat until after graduation). I have a very spacious apartment that is right next to many trails and outdoor spaces. I am home most of the time, apart from classes, meaning that I have ample time to provide attention to pets and play with them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented, which means I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions exactly as requested. I also regularly care for my own golden retriever, handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and routine care. This has given me hands-on experience with an active, friendly breed that needs consistent exercise and attention. I’m especially comfortable with daily walks, exercise, and providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and behavior, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I understand that every dog is different and I take the time to adjust to their personality and needs. As a full-time University of Michigan student, I’m highly organized, reliable, and communicative. I show up on time, send regular updates, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the week, I’m available before and after classes for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I keep my schedule organized to ensure I can give each pet reliable, unrushed care. I am completely free on weekends, which allows me to be very flexible with timing for longer walks, multiple visits, or extended care. I prioritize consistency and clear communication, so pet owners always know when to expect updates and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m attentive to safety at all times—making sure leashes are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are supervised during walks and visits. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, especially in new environments, and adjust care as needed. I also prioritize clear communication and trust. I provide regular updates and photos, and I always leave a client’s home clean, secure, and just as I found it.

About: I had my family black Labrador, Buddy, for one semester of college, and it was one of the best semester in college. I love being active outdoor with Buddy, showing Buddy new things and places, and teaching him new tricks. I have watched dogs of every kind over long and short period of time for friends who go home for breaks. It brings my lots of joy to be close to furry friends. I hope to keep your dog day exciting while still respecting your dog’s individual personalities! I am a first-year medical school student. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate for yours and your pet needs! My personal time is entwined with pet care time. When I watch my friends’ pets or my Labrador, I would go on jogs and walks my work-out. I am happy to tailor meal time depending on your’s preference for your fur baby. I also worked on my dog’s training while I’m on break between classes. Before accepting booking, I would love to have a short meet and greet. This way you and your pets could get to know me and determine if I would be a good fit!

About: I've helped watch dogs of all kinds since I was 13. From my own dogs, neighbor's dogs, friend's dogs, and even office dogs, I've kindly help make them feel comfortable with attention and care. I like to prioritize play with dogs to help their mood and tire them out if needed. My friend's family have previously entrusted me to care for their pets for over week long periods on several occasions. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pet at a schedule that best suits your needs. I can actively engage in play with your pets or just keep them company. I am open to any specific instructions that will help me to provide care for your pet. Dogs have been my best friends throughout my life, and I care and treat other dogs just as a best friend too.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, ranging from small to large breeds, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. While I’m new to Rover, I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with pets. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your needs. I’m responsive and dependable, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m attentive on walks, careful with routines and instructions, and happy to send updates/photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.

About: I am an animal lover and genuinely love caring for all pets. I like to spend as much time with the pets I care for and make sure they are well-loved while their family is away. While caring for them I offer lots of cuddles, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. If at all possible, I do like to meet the pet and family beforehand so that the pet and owners feel confident and secure in their decision, not all dogs are created similarly so I like to make sure that the pet feels comfortable with me before a stay or a drop in visit. I myself have three poodles and am proud to call them my fur babies. I have a extensive experience raising and training poodle puppies(0months-6months) with programs such as puppy culture, ENS, no jumping, no biting, potty training, crate training, and behavior rehabilitation, leash/walk training. With this experience, I have become very intune with dog/puppy body language and communication styles of individual breeds and individual communication styles of different dogs (each one is different afterall). I do my best to research my client's breed so that I can best serve their pups specific breed's needs during the length of my stay or for any other service I offer. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Currently an Aerospace engineering student and working part-time. Most of the time I would be staying with your pet and studying. There are times throughout the day that I would need to leave for work, lectures, or grab lunch with a friend. My schedule is fairly flexible and can be adjusted to meet your needs. *Please note that I am an engineering student at the University of Michigan. There will be times I will be away 6+ hours due to professor schedules, class times, and project meetings. Caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure that all basic needs are met and do plenty of cuddles and play with the pet as well. Additional care is done at the dog and owner's request, a fee may be added depending on the request. *Additional $10-$15 daily fee may be added for very needy pups *Note there is a half day fee for 3+ dogs added per day of the booking *Any dogs not under direct ownership of the client booking will need to pay full day fees

“Jessie came to watch our Juno 3 days in a row. She overcame obstacles (eg door being locked) and stayed longer to ensure our puppy was well being taken care of. Most importantly, our puppy loved her. Jessie sent us a long report card and tons of videos/pictures after her walk. Highly recommend, will hire again.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ann Arbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ann Arbor is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $40 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 2,551 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ann Arbor. 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 Ann Arbor. 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor. 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.
