“Jessi knows just what our Hiro needs. Our rescue dog can fearful of other dogs and be reactive. Jessi’s calm confident demeanor helps our dog remain calm and confident so he is able to walk our neighborhood. Jessi has a way with animals!!”
“Melissa was great! She always arrived on time and gave us multiple updates during her walk and provided plenty of photos. Our pup was well taken care of. We highly recommend Melissa!!”
“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!”
“Cassidy was so great with my anxious high energy dog! Needed a dog walker last minute and she was able to accommodate. Cassidy knew how to interact with Pepper to make her feel comfortable quickly. Have rebooked and will be using regularly moving forward.”
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.
“Carissa is an amazing dog walker! She’s great with my American Staffordshire mix, Baymax. Well worth the $20! He seems happier after I get home than when I have had friends or family walk him.”
“Tera is amazing! She went above and beyond! Met our pup beforehand, was very patient with him as he can be skittish, took him on long walks, and played with him at the park. Our pup looked so happy and seemed very excited when she would come by to walk him! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”
About: I have two cats and grew up with many animals including dogs, bunnies, reptiles, insects, and fish. My cats have had numerous health issues and I’m comfortable administering medications or doing special care with tough babies! I also worked in an animal research lab where we managed care for farm animals around the clock. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Taking care of pets helps me take a break and helps you ensure your pet is getting what they need while you are gone! I have two cats at home, so I am not able to care for other cats, dogs, or pets in my home at this time unfortunately.
“Jamie was great with our anxious pup! Super professional and communicative through out the entire visit. She’s a reactive dog who is not great with men, but she seemed to warm up to him pretty quickly. We will definitely book Jamie in the future!”
“Leask is an outstanding dog walker! He's friendly, caring, conscientious, reliable, and an excellent communicator! My husky bonded with Leask immediately. Highly, highly recommended! If if I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“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.”
“Janice is excellent! She is reliable and kind- and the pup absolutely adores her! She also gave some thoughtful recommendations for training opportunities. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Elayna was amazing! Very clearly a dog person and made my sometimes nervous pup feel very comfortable. She was very communicative and took lots of photos which I loved getting to see while I was at work!”
“Fatima is amazing!! She is prompt and caring, and always leaves me feeling at ease after walking my pet. She is attentive to my dog’s needs and communicates efficiently upon my request :)”
“Taylor has been excellent with Maggy during her walks. We have a 2 days a week schedule and Maggy thoroughly enjoys getting a nice 30min walk halfway in the day. Taylor has great communication and gives updates on how Maggy did on the walk!”
“Betsy was very reliable as well as roll with the punches. Our dog didn't eat her breakfast so Betsy allow her to eat before walking. Se sent us pictures while we are away. I would highly recommend.”
“Meaghan did a wonderful job walking our dog! She was friendly, communicative, and sent great pictures! We also so appreciated her taking the time to come meet our pup beforehand! 😊”

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!
Five stars, without hesitation. Shashank has been a wonderful find for our family. He walks our dog Leon regularly, and Leon gets genuinely excited every time he sees him, which tells you everything you need to know. What really cemented our trust happened when I was unexpectedly told during a routine appointment that I needed to deliver my baby the same day. With no time to make arrangements, Shashank stepped up immediately, checking on Leon, feeding, exercising him, and taking him in to board as soon as he could with little notice. That kind of reliability in an emergency is rare. What sets Shashank apart is his genuine knowledge of canine behavior. Leon was understandably stressed by all the changes, and Shashank recognized it, communicated clearly with us, and worked patiently with him until he was in a much better place. Leon came home from boarding with Shashank calm and fulfilled. We plan on continuing to work with Shashank as Leon adjusts to life with a new baby, so the transition continues to go smoothly. Communicative, reliable, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about dogs. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your beloved pet, Shashank is your person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ann Arbor on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ann Arbor.

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:
- 92% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
