“Ashley has been amazing with Dudley. Her promptness and thorough report makes me feel so at ease on the days she walks him. He’s always so happy to see her and she is very sweet with him.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my 16-year-old family dog, who had medical issues as she got older, and I helped care for her before she passed away. My family now has a puppy who I’ve helped train and care for, so I’m comfortable with dogs at different stages of life. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding and looking after them! I volunteer at the Humane Society of Huron Valley as a dog walker, where I spend time with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also help care for cats at the shelter, including cleaning their cages and feeding multiple cats at once.I’m a senior at the University of Michigan and live on campus, so I have a flexible schedule, a car, and can accommodate different pet care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and love getting to know each pet! I’d love to meet your pets and help take care of them! As a full-time student, my class schedule varies day by day, but I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to spend time with your pet and provide attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to keep them comfortable by following their established routines as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and any special attention they need. I’m respectful of your space and will keep you updated on how your pet is doing with plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Stephanie is absolutely fantastic! She is 100% reliable and went above and beyond what she was hired to do. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will hire her again when needed!! if I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
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 have taken care of animals and been around animals my entire life. I love both cats and dogs, and have a dog at home! I have plenty of free time during the week. I am typically traveling on weekends and work Wednesdays but otherwise am available at all hours. I live in an apartment but plenty of time to walk around the neighborhoods and there are various parks and dog-parks specifically situated nearby that I bring my own dog to.
About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.
“Lynn is amazing. She is so great with our dogs, is always on time, and so communicative about everything that happens on walks. We reached out to Lynn because we were stuck last minute, but are so glad it happened and now Lynn will be our go to dog walker ???”
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.
“Leask is the best! He's obviously very passionate about pet care and my dog loves him. We have weekly recurring walks and he is always on time and respectful of my property.”
About: I grew up around dogs, having owned our own as well as taken care of neighborhood dogs. Some cat experience from when I was young. Now I'm a full time cat dad for the past two years! I have the fortune and flexibility of working from home, so I can usually fit in time to drop by and care for your pets throughout the day. I'm very respectful of spaces in my client's home and make sure that the animal can maintain their own routine in their familiar place while getting comfortable with my presence when their owner is away.
About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome! I have two crates and plenty of beds for your pet to feel comfortable. I have an outdoor patio in case your dog wants some fresh air as well as plenty of walking space around my neighborhood.
“It was very apparent to us that Coryn understands dogs. We have a new rescue dog that is skittish around most people and Coryn was patient and gentle with her. She helped Annie relax and that means the world to us. We look forward to the next visit.”
About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.
About: I've been walking dogs and house-sitting since high school. There's nothing I love more than getting outside, and having a dog by my side makes it even better. I'm also lucky to have a beautiful home with a fully fenced yard, so dogs of all ages and energy levels are welcome. Couch potato or high energy pup — there's space for both here. Your dog will be in good hands and treated like family. I have a flexible work from home schedule and will be able to accommodate your preferred walking routine. I love taking dogs in the car to explore new areas or I'm happy to walk them around your block. Morning, midday, or evening are all workable. For boarding, I am flexible in terms of drop-off or pick-up. Dogs are welcome to board any day of the week and for any length of time. I have a fenced in yard and lots of time to spend with your pet! Currently, there are no pets in the house, but the space really is perfect for it. There may be additions coming soon! In the meantime your pet will enjoy lots of attention and care. I am comfortable following any food, medication, or treat/training routine you are currently implementing. I keep my space very neat and tidy. If I am in your space, I will of course be respectful and do the same.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
Tori does an amazing job with Valentino every time! I’ve rebooked her many times because she is dependable, caring, and takes such great care of him. Valentino absolutely loves her, which means everything to me. I always feel confident knowing he is in good hands with Tori. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog walker!
V went beyond the call of duty with Adam. She returned for a second visit to check to make sure he wasn't ill. She took the dirty bedding and put in the wash. She sat with him patiently and gave him lots of cuddles. She indicated he was fine Thank you for giving Adam such wonderful care I appreciate your kindness and compassion.
Micheal did a great job being patient and accommodating with my at times stubborn, senior foster dog! He showed my foster pup lots of care and helped me balance work and my foster pup with his help. Communication was good, for example one day I changed my dog’s food so I was worried how he would do that day, and Michael provided updates quickly. Thank you Michael!

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.
