Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and I house-sit/dog-sit as a part-time job, as well as work at two stables. I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my own pets, so I enjoy taking care of other people’s animals! I pet sit for another company and for clients I know personally, so my schedule is updated as accurately as possible on my page- most weeks I’ll be available Mon/Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun. I could possibly help with pets on Wednesdays and Fridays, but those are my scheduled work days. When my semester starts in September, I’ll be occupied Tues/Thurs. When I am chosen for whatever service you might need, I’ll be able to feed, let your dogs out, walk them/play with them, spend time with your cats, etc.! I’d like to know a day or two in advance, but I could possibly accept a same day booking. I take care of every animal like they’re my own; I’ve taken many dogs off the streets to find their owners. This is no different, your animal will be treated with respect and love while you’re away! I won’t be taking care of animals at my house (due to my own pets), but I would possibly be willing to do overnight stays at the client’s house if it’s a good fit.

About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life and they can be a big hassle. But it's always worth it in the end. I hope I can make it a little easier and reassuring for you! I live with only one cat at the moment, which is surprising I don't have more pets. But I do take care of my sister's 2 dogs sometimes. I kinda miss having more pets, but I can't get any at the moment, sadly. So I'm hoping this a good outlet for that. I hope to stop by and help your pet when I can, or give them a good walk. I always think that pets should get a good walk/run in at least once a day, especially if it's an energetic blue heeler or something. And I always enjoy a walk too. But if that's not their thing, I'm cool with chilling too and giving all the loving and pets.

About: I have had animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens… the list goes on and on! I have been caring for my own pets for at least the last 23 years and have cared for others’ pets for at least 15. I have experience with domestic, farm, and a few exotic animals! Our 10 year old pointer, Rooney, just passed away in February so I would like to love on YOUR pets while I grieve and prepare my heart to love a new dog of my own. I am home all day, so your pup would get all of the love and attention they deserve while in my care! I do have 4 young children, but they have grown up with dogs their entire lives and have learned how to be respectful of them. Your dog can be played with, walked, or just loved on! Whatever they need! I do have an indoor/outdoor cat, but she is extremely dog friendly. I look forward to taking care of your babies the next time you need some help! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home nearly all of the day. The longest your dog would be crated would be 1 hour. They will have full access to the backyard and will be given constant love and attention. I have a yard and the whole day to play with your pups or take them for walks! Me and my kids will totally enjoy playing fetch and chase and whatever else your dogs love to do!

“Shaira is everything you need in a care for a dog, she very attentive, knowledgeable, and showed class and professionalism and she's very aware of problems if they exist ,I was pleasantly surprised in her intuition dealing with Thor my American Bully. She kept me up to date with pictures and walks, this was my 1st time leaving Thor with anyone, and she understood what to do and how to react, I cannot say more about this young woman, she will be at the top of my list when I need someone to take care of Thor... Only one problem!!!! There are not enough stars, she actually deserve 10 stars .”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! In addition to caring for pets of my own, I have sat for families with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between! I understand the varieties of care that our doggos may need and can’t wait to tailor my experience to your pets! I am blessed with a flexible work schedule that allows me to work with your pets at a variety of times during the week days! I may possibly be able to take appointments on weekends as well on a case-to-case basis. Please send me a message and we can do our best to fit an appointment onto the schedule! When visiting a clients home, I will follow exact instructions as left by the pet-parent! If you would like your pet taken for a walk, I will adhere to the locations you’d like me to, or find a path nearby that is safe for by myself and your furry family member. I do not accept clients in my own home at this time.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats around me my entire life and there’s nothing I love more than keeping my furry friends safe and happy 💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows pet care to be a regular part of my daily routine. I work part-time as a party princess, primarily on select weekends, and gigs are infrequent and scheduled ahead of time. Because of this, I’m able to commit fully to feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and quality time, ensuring pets receive dependable and focused care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean and respected. I also will provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Former federal employee and defense contractor (over 28 years)/deferred retirement. I've been boarding, house sitting, dropping in, walking, and running with dogs since COVID. I only accept one client at a time in my home, so I can provide personalized one-on-one care, including cats. Open to other types of animals, and/or duties as assigned (mail collection, plant and/or pool/spa care, garbage/recycling, snow clearing, etc.). Prices are adjustable. No strict routine here. I’m generally on a first shift-type schedule, but will adjust to your pet’s needs. I typically have groceries delivered to my vehicle weekly, and take dogs with me if they enjoy car rides. Safe neighborhood. I have a .5 acre lot, but only the yard around my pool is fenced in (less than half the lot). Good safety latches on the gates; pool safety cover off-season. Dogs are discouraged away from the in-ground pool, but may use my kiddie pool. They will be supervised while outside. There will not be any other pets or children present while on my property. Bi-level carpeted home. It has been marked, so if that’s a potential issue, please look elsewhere. 4-wheel drive Jeep, so snow is not likely an issue to get to or transport your fur babies. Allergic to Downey, but willing to bring my own linens if you’re a user. Zero tolerance for acts of aggression. No kill list rescues.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, I am currently available Sunday-Saturday from 11am-6pm. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.

About: I have been around many different kinds of animals growing up. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working another job full time in the afternoons but I am happy and eager to accept any visits from the early morning until 1 pm. Overnight visits are also available if I am able to have at least a weeks notice, thank you! As your pet sitter it’s my goal to make sure your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I would love to know their routines and personalities so I can care for them as best as possible! All animals in the home need to be included in the request! Cats bunnies and smaller animals in the home during overnight stays must be included in your request.

About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.

About: I’m Kristen, a Behavioral Science major and a passionate dog mom for over 5 years. I currently care for my three lovable pitties — all with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Through them, I’ve gained real-life experience with leash training, enrichment, socialization, and managing multi-dog dynamics. I’m especially familiar with caring for velcro dogs (like mine!) who love close companionship and need that extra level of emotional support and attention. My Bachelor's in Behavioral Science helps give me a deep understanding of animal behavior. I use positive reinforcement techniques to build trust and encourage good habits. I'm great at reading cues, responding to their needs, and helping them feel comfortable and safe — I always aim to make dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether you have a shy pup, an energetic walker, or a dog who just needs some love and company, I'd be honored to help care for them like they're my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog walking throughout the day. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs and love incorporating dog walking into my daily routine — it gives me time outdoors, keeps me active, and most importantly, lets me spend time with even more amazing pups! A lot of my work is pet-focused, caring for dogs is already a huge part of my life — both online and off. Whether it's a morning stroll, midday energy burn, or afternoon walk-and-sniff, I’m able to reliably fit your dog’s needs into my day with full attention and love. As a dog walker and sitter, I treat every pup and every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and understood — and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands. Before each walk, I take time to greet your dog calmly, check their mood, and ensure they’re comfortable and ready to go. During walks, I stay alert, follow your dog’s pace, and make sure their walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their needs — whether that means getting some energy out or taking a slow, sniff-filled stroll. If I’m entering your home, I’m always mindful of your space and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave (feeding, water refills, post-walk routines, etc.) and always double-check things like locked doors and leashes for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, secure, and loved — and to make you feel fully at ease while they’re in my care.

About: Most recent rescued our newest addition Nyla (grey pit) to our family from an abusive situation. She has been amazing with our other dog and both cats! September 2022 we rescued 4 new born kitten that was left outside in a box in the cold. I have taken care of animals since I was 7. I recently rescued a feral cat and helped domesticate her into the sweetest house cat that isn’t afraid of other animals or people! I have house sat, walked, bathed, and feed animals for clients, neighbors, friends, and family which all had animals at the time! I work 12 hour shifts at my main job 3 to 5 days a week and if you are open to the times on the days I work I would be more than happy to care for your animals! I am renting so unfortunately I cannot animal sit at my house and I can house sit upon request but not staying the night because I love and would miss my house with my animals and spouse.

Michelle was very helpful and understanding of my dog's fear of thunder. There were a few days of rain and thunder. She was flexible with the walking time which was a huge help. My dog liked her very much too.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Battle Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Battle Creek on Rover is $12 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $24 per walk. 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 October 2026, there are 524 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Battle Creek. 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 your Battle Creek. 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 Battle Creek 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 Battle Creek. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
