About: Hi, my name is Olivia! I currently work in the pet grooming industry, but have worked closely with dog rescues my whole life. I used to own two border collies who sadly recently passed. My family has fostered dogs and cats since I could remember and we frequently watch family and friends pet. I also have experience with dog training but am not certified. I am comfortable with working with senior pets as well as puppies or pregnant dogs. I have lots of experience with reactive/behaviorally troubled dogs which I know can be a big issue when looking for pet sitters or boarding. I currently work usually from 9am-4/5pm on Wednesdays and Fridays and am a part time student at Schoolcraft College. My 2 in person classes are Tuesdays and Thursday’s 11:30-1:15 and Wednesdays 6pm-10pm. Besides that I am very flexible with timing. I don’t mind making the drive if you are further out but ahead of time scheduling will work best for me. I have a fenced in yard and no dogs in the home. I do own two cats but they keep their distance from new pets. If there is any reactive or behavioral issues that can be worked with as I have lots of experience when using tools like prong collars, e-collars, muzzles, and many different types of training (positive only reinforcement, negative + positive reinforcement, treat training, etc). For boarding, I do encourage crate training but I am flexible with that as well and will always respect boundaries you have with your pet (no furniture or beds) as well as keeping up with training processes (simple commands such as sit, stay, place, etc). Pet sitting at your home I am also comfortable with and always put respect to your pet and home as a top priority! Taking your pet for a walk is never a problem for me as I get at least 10k steps in daily, makes it more fun for me!
“Brit did a good job walking my 130 pound American Akita named Apollo. Apollo walks good on a leash, but if he sees a squirrel he may pull. Today Brit was able to teach me something new. Today I learned when he pulls to bend my arm to get more control. Brit has lots of experience with dogs, even large breeds. Would def book her to walk him again.”
“Melanie does an amazing job with both of my dogs. They come back happy, exercised, and ready to relax which I greatly appreciate. I can tell the dogs love their time with her because they will bark out the picture window begging her to come back for more. Melanie is super attentive and willing to accommodate any schedule changes and additional asks, with excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended, and very thankful I was able to find someone my dogs love so much!”
About: Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other furry animals! I have learned that each animal is different and therefore requires different forms of care. My family and I currently own a gorgeous 7 year old golden retriever named Teddy, and 3 cats (including 2 outside ones). I’m currently working towards a pet unrelated certification. I also work part time from Thursday-Sunday evenings and afternoons. I’m fully available Monday-Wednesday and I can fill the rest of my mornings with your furry best friend! Unfortunately my home is unavailable to dog sit at, however I would love to take care of your pet within the comfort of your own home/neighborhood.
About: I’ve raised and taken care of my own pets, friends and neighbors over the years. I work from home where I run my business and would be happy to attend to your fur babies. My home has a fenced in backyard and we also have a very walkable neighborhood. Our community is very safe and clean as well as my house. Our basement is the perfect indoor space for pets of any size so they can have their very own room in the house, but of course they are welcome anywhere. I create my own schedule and work from my house. I miss having a pet around when I’m not traveling so find this as a happy alternative. Whatever accommodations your pet needs I can provide it. We have space indoors and outdoors for any pet and I pride myself on being a very attentive caregiver.
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child, helping out neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family. I love being around animals and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I will play love and care for your pet! I am currently free Monday-Saturday 9:30 am-3:30 pm and anytime after 5:30 pm. Sundays: After 1 pm. I am extremely excited to start my new adventure with you! When caring for your fur babies, I make sure to provide individual attention. This includes regular walks, feeding, playtime, and administering any medications if needed. I will maintain their routine to reduces stress and ensure a happy environment.
About: I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds. I have previous pet sitting experience with senior dogs and cats. I currently have a cat who has needed shots, medicine, and specific care. I am willing and happy to clean up any accidents. I am able to accommodate to any special care your animal(s) may need. I am currently taking a gap semester after completing my senior year of high school, so I have quite a bit of free time on my hands, and can always accommodate to last minute needs. I am able to accommodate to any special needs your pets may need. I also value respect, patience, and kindness with your home and pets.
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for animals, starting at the age of 10 with my own pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small mammals. I’ve also been trusted with extended pet and house sitting stays lasting 3–4 weeks, including overnight care, household responsibilities, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environments. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining feeding schedules, grooming, bathing, and providing care for animals with different personalities and needs. I also have extensive self-taught experience with puppy training, tricks, and behavioral training for both puppies and adult dogs. Whether a dog is confident, shy, or nervous, I approach them with patience, gentleness, and understanding. I’m very attentive, responsible, punctual, and great at following specific routines and instructions. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals. Their happiness, comfort, and well being are always my priority! I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home, so reliable Wi-Fi is essential for my work. Pet sitting is my primary commitment, and I’m available throughout the week, including weekends. I can accommodate drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and extended house-sitting arrangements. My schedule is generally consistent, although availability may vary when I’m already caring for another client’s pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s specific routine whenever possible! I also accept holiday bookings, with adjusted holiday rates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide care exclusively in your home, allowing your pets to remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I don’t offer boarding at my own home. When meeting shy or nervous animals, I get down to their level and allow them to approach me when they’re ready. I never force interaction or intimidate an animal into trusting me. I’m happy to follow specific household rules, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and crating preferences when appropriate. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, and outdoor supervision to keep pets safe. I also love providing regular photo and text updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Farmington is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per walk. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 4,184 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Farmington. 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 Farmington. 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 Farmington 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 Farmington. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
