“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!”
“Leading up to my wedding, I was feeling nervous about all of our family being with us and how our dog would be taken care of. Saskia not only helped to completely remove those nerves, but truly treated our dog like her own. Our dog struggles with anxiety and can take a little to warm up to new people, but wagged her tail and got excited this morning smelling Saskia’s hat!! I knew from Saskia’s amazing communication and update pictures that our dog was in excellent hands, but that sealed the deal for me. My husband and I were not worried at all and able to be fully present at our wedding knowing our baby was so well taken care of.”
“First, Joana was very punctual and available to conduct a meet and greet for Envy, which is a must for me! She was happy to take Envy on her usual walk! She also gave her one of her beloved dental chew treats (:”
“Justin has been walking our GSD for quite some time now. We would recommend him to anyone! He has been so good to ghost and has really helped him come out of his shell. Ghost has always looked forward to their walks and even gets annoyed with us when he realizes his walk with justin isn’t happening that day when we have had to reschedule lol. Ghost will definitely miss him when we move & we can’t thank him enough for treating him with such care and understanding as ghost was growing up. Thank you for working with our sour patch boy!”
“Gabby has watched Reggie multiple times and has always done a fantastic job taking care of him. I recommend to anyone looking for help to contact Gabby. Thanks again!”
“I’ve got a senior dog with some extra needs and Claire was super accommodating. The weather wasn’t great so she played with the pups inside since they didn’t get a long walk. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!

I live a couple doors down from a large, enclosed space for your animals to run with me. I am an avid runner, and enjoy having a partner to increase my running pace.
About: With three years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I have developed strong skills in pet care, handling, and health monitoring. I am comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. My background in a clinical setting means I understand the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and individualized care for each pet. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or providing companionship, I prioritize their well-being and treat every pet as if they were my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last-minute requests. My open schedule ensures that your pets receive consistent care and attention whenever you need it. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine to ensure comfort and consistency. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, and playtime tailored to their needs. I provide medication if needed, clean up after them, and monitor their health and behavior. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: From young age I've been responsible for many types of animals. I have experience with dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows and calfs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, etc. I currently have one medium dog who lost his litter mate in December 2023. I'm a stay at home dog Mom. We both have lots of energy for walks and hikes. I live on a 1 mile dirt, seasonal, dead end road with lake frontage and massive yard for playing hide and seek in the trees and hunting squirrels. My dog is dog friendly, loves playmates. (No jealousy). In your home care would be provided to your pets as we would discuss with a meet & greet.
About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.
About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dexter. 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 Dexter. 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 Dexter.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
