About: Hello! My name is Erin and as a pre-veterinary student, I am currently working as a veterinary assistant at a clinic to further expand my knowledge in veterinary medicine and animal care.

Olivia helped us out in a pinch and was understanding with my pup, who can be uncertain around new people. I would be happy to have her walk Gus again.

About: I have been taking care of dogs in 2017, when I was in fifth grade! Since then, I've become the trustworthy dog and house-sitter for my neighborhood, and have taken care of multiple households of pets at the same time! I also love to be active, and would love to take your pup on long (or short!) walks! I am home for summer for college, and have plenty of time to love on some dogs! I can walk dogs for ranging periods of time at any point during the day, and drop in at any time during the day! In clients home, I will make sure to keep pups in the approved areas, and give them lots of care during drop ins. I prefer to spend more time with the animals than less, and make sure they are loved on during the long days!!

About: I grew up with 5 pets in the house, 3 dogs and 2 cats. I loved taking all the dogs on walks and playing with them on the beach or outside in the yard. And when I’m inside, I love chilling with the cats :) I am currently only working part-time so I have a very open schedule due to recently graduating from MSU. I am more than happy to work with you on scheduling if needed. I treat any home as if it’s my own. Currently I live in an apartment and will not be able to take your pets to my residence, I am more than happy to stay in your’s. I am a fast learner and can adapt to new environments very well :)

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong, hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve had two dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after them as part of my daily routine. Because of this, I understand how important it is to give pets attention, consistency, and genuine care. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am a student so I am busy from about 8-2 Monday - Thursday but after that I am free to give any pet all the attention they need. Sundays I am free pretty much all day. I can take them for multiple walks a day. I have a small yard but live in a neighborhood where they will love to walk around and explore. I also have a park next door to my house that they can run around and play in that is fenced in. I currently do not have other dogs living with me but have room for dog living.

Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.

About: I began working at my hometowns vet clinic when I was 16, where I gained a lot of experience with animal handling and care. I continue to work at the clinic during my school breaks, and I enjoy walking dogs at the animal shelter during my free time on campus. I have pet sat for many friends and family members over the years, which has given me experience caring for both dogs and cats of a variety of sizes and temperaments. I am an undergraduate student at MSU, studying animal science! My class schedule has many gaps, so there are lots of opportunities for me to check in on your pet throughout the day. I provide care through feeding, walking, and keeping your pet company while you are busy or out of town! I am unable to house pets due to living in an apartment that does not allow them, but I am able to provide care for them throughout the day while they remain in the familiar environment of their own home!

About: I have been on rover for almost 3 years now, I have experience in all care fields (child, adult, and animal), and am also a licensed massage therapist. I have 6 adorable Pugbulls and one cat.I've cared for fish, cats, and dogs. In a 30min time block I can usually walk a little over a mile with a dog, even if they want to stop and sniff around a bit. I love all animals and am always willing to look after new types of animals! Unfortunately I’m not currently taking on new weekly walks, I will update this should that change. Currently my schedule is very flexible and open during the whole week. Should that schedule change I will update this description and let any clients I’m working with know. I have a very flexible work schedule as a massage therapist, if a day isn’t available I will have it updated as unavailable on my rover calendar. I always make sure to allow all pets to come to me at their own pace without making them feel like I’m invading their personal space. This helps them be comfortable with me quickly and feel safe in their home.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own—a Shih Tzu and a Mini Poodle—who I treat like family. Growing up with pets has given me a natural understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. I’m experienced with both small and senior dogs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to each pet I care for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part time and an internship so my availability is mostly afternoons after 2pm. I’m available in the mornings or afternoon on the weekends as well. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with each animal and make sure they feel cared for.

About: I absolutely adore animals, so much so that I plan on making them my career, I am currently studying zoology. I have two dogs of my own which sadly couldn’t come with me to university so I’d love to make some new animal friends! I also have worked as a volunteer for a veterinary clinic as well as the animal care department in a zoo. I also have helped take care of my neighbors 9 cats, parrot, and lizard for extended periods of time, all of which had health issues so I have experience with administering many different kinds of medication. I am currently attending MSU so I will have to work around classes but I am available Friday, Saturday, Sunday all day and I am available in the afternoon on Tuesdays and morning on Thursdays. I am incredibly detail oriented and will follow your directions for animal care to the letter. I am comfortable in any situation involving animals and am comfortable with any temperaments or health conditions. I have a great appreciation for animal behavior and will work to ensure your animal(s) will always be stress free, happy, and mentally stimulated when they are with me!

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was ten years old. I am happy to care for both young and old animals. I understand the importance of showing consistent, genuine care for pets while their owners are gone. I grew up with two cats and two dogs. I am quick to communicate and stay in touch. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time available to care for your pets. I am happy to find a schedule that works best for both your pets and I. I excel at following directions and am happy to accommodate to whatever you know works the best for your loved pets. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, or looking in on your fur babies.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I grew up with a loving cat who was my constant companion, which sparked my lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for a sweet cat, an energetic Chocolate Labrador, a gentle giant Bullmastiff full of love, and even two lively Chihuahuas at the same time! From playful small breeds to big cuddly dogs and independent cats, I’m comfortable and confident providing attentive, affectionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have pet sit for several friends and neighbors just not officially on Rover! I work full-time and walk several times a day throughout the neighborhood and have tons of energy. I will love on your fur baby like no other and give them lots of love and attention! I am sure to share details, pictures, videos and provide a play-by-play of your pets activities, mood, and pee/poo schedule :) very trustworthy and reliable!

Leah was amazing! Took beanie’s walks on short notice even though it was an evening walk, which I’m so thankful for! She has great communication - her reports were so detailed and her pictures of Beanie were so cute. When I came home a few hours later, he was still tired so they clearly made the most of his 30 minute walk 🐶 We will definitely re-book with Leah!

Stop scrolling and click here . . . you have found your new dog walker! Tiana is wonderful, showed up on time, brought her own leash, took several pictures and even a video of my silly dog doing zoomies in the park, and updated me with bathroom breaks. And you have to applaud walking in Michigan winters! She communicates well and offers solutions for alternative days and times in order to navigate both our busy schedules. I highly recommend Tiana to be your pets new companion. 10+

Sally was great! Very responsive and available on short notice. She paid close attention to Beanie and noticed when he was struggling due to the snow/salt (small paws) and brought him inside for pets for the remainder of the time. He loved it and I appreciated he got some extra attention while I worked! Will definitely rebook. 🐾

Nicolas is very reliable and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate his attentiveness to my senior chihuahua. He really took the time to understand her needs and comfort levels. Arranging a meet-and-greet prior to the booking was one of the many ways he demonstrated how much he prioritizes that. I really loved the detailed notes, photos, and videos. He was so great with Mika, and I can tell she enjoyed her sessions with him too. I definitely recommend Nicolas and would love to use his services again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - East Lansing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in East Lansing on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 830 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Lansing. 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 East Lansing. 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 East Lansing.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Lansing. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
