“Kate has been walking my dog for a few months now. She's been consistent, reliable, and done a great job. My dog shoes her and the walks they go on. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”
“Katie has been absolutely incredible with my dog Ding. I come home from long days at work and can tell that he’s been cared for, stimulated and nurtured. Katie has very communicative and asked question when necessary…it’s truly been so easy trusting her with my favorite friend. We really appreciate you Katie! Thanks :)”
“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”
About: Hi! My name is Mouse and I love pets! I've been taking care of friends and families pets for about four years and working for rover for over a year. I am currently in Grand Rapids and looking for some lovely pets to take care of. Rover is my main source of income, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I currently have a very free and flexible schedule, as well as a car. I should have no problem making room for your pet in my schedule I believe in making sure your pets are fully safe and loved while you are away! I have no problem asking about what exactly is the regular routine of your pet to make sure they are the safest and most comfortable they can be without you.
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
“Leah is great. She was able to accommodate a short notice walk for my pup Juice. Juice seemed to really enjoy the walk and was fast asleep within two minutes of getting home.”
“Rebecca was so amazing and it was so nice having such detailed info about the walks and how Jackson was doing with pictures! We booked last minute and Rebecca was such a life saver! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I have extensive experience around all kinds of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I love being around animals and am patient and attentive to make sure pets can feel comfortable and safe. I grew up with dogs, cats, and a guinea pig so I am well versed in pet care. I also understand the importance of routines, communication, and trust when caring for someone else's pet. I have worked as a pet sitter in Grand Rapids Michigan in previous years and engaged in pet walking, giving medication, and overnight stays with dogs. As a student, I am organized and responsible with caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them! I'm currently working part time training to become a CNA, so I have lots of free time to take care of your pets! My weekends are completely open for any consistent care, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. When caring for pets within a client's home, I always follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, litter box cleaning, and any other special care needs. I’m very attentive and make safety a priority by keeping doors secure and monitoring pets closely. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important when caring for someone else’s pets, so I’ll always provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured that their pets are happy and in good hands.
“Daniel did a great job walking our big, energetic huskies! He was responsive, always showed up on time and even went above and beyond cleaning up a mess our puppy made in the house. Our dogs always seem happy and well taken care of when we get home from work on days they walk with Daniel. We would definitely recommend him!”
“What an amazing experience. Michael is the best dog walker Gideòn has ever had and that includes myself. Gideòn absolutely loves him. Michael is prompt and courteous. He's even moved some of my packages inside my door when he picked up Gideòn for his walk. He has made what would be a nervous experience for both parties into something enjoyable. Gideòn seems invigorated by their walks. I was hoping Michael's walks would make Gideòn tired but it has seemed to have the opposite effect. I'm unsure whether to reprimand Michael or just be excited Gideòn is enthused with the new friendship lol. Michael is a great guy, great walker, and truly a dog's best friend. I highly recommend him for anything and everything pooch related.”
About: I love dogs and have been around them for my whole life. I particularly love small breeds and grew up in a house full of yorkies. We often had litters of puppies and I learned from a very young age how to handle, care for, and train dogs from birth. As an adult, I've had two male shih tzus from early puppyhood into adulthood, and they've joined me on many adventures. My first had his share of health issues, so I'm experienced with administering eye drops, ear drops, oral medications, and post surgical care. He suffered from cataracts and glaucoma in his senior years which eventually resulted in the loss of his vision, so I'm also experienced with the unique challenges of blind pets. I will love on your dogs like my own when they are in my care! I'm currently taking a career break and have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from Monday - Friday, for drop-ins. Keeping your pet safe and well cared for while you are away is my top priority. I will happily provide text and photo updates to put you at ease!

Zachary did an awesome job walking my dog Phoebe! He took all instruction on board, genuinely cares for all her needs and nuances and has great communication. He kept me updated on how the walk went with messages and photos, he’s very reliable and trustworthy with the care of your pet, couldn’t recommend enough!
Raven is awesome! She responds to requests super fast, she’s great at communicating, and she took great care of my dog Ding. She was even able to accommodate a last minute walk request. Highly recommended, I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks Raven!
Claire and Spatzle are slowly working on an introduction. He is a nervous and reactive boy so we are working our way to being able to do overnights and drop ins. Her vet med hx and experience with a reactive dog is SO helpful in knowing how to interact with him and it's going great so far.

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 East Grand Rapids. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

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.
