About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13, growing up with family pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to their individual needs and enjoy learning about different ways to support their development, socialization, and overall well-being. Whether you need a trusted dog walker, sitter, or overnight stay for your fur babies, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your pets! I'm currently attending community college and have a full time job at PACE. My hours are 8 hour shifts Monday-Friday. Please reach out to me with any scheduling questions, I'm sure we can figure something out! I will make sure that your pet gets lots of extra love while you are away, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else that you typically would do.
“Heather was awesome! Rocket was super excited to meet her during the first visit and I knew it will be smooth sailing the rest of the way. Great pictures and videos during walks, good communication to let me know how everything went and very quick to respond. Will recommend Heather to anyone that needs their pet walked or watched for a period of time. Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.”
About: I always wanted a dog growing up, and before our family got our own, I would walk, play with, and take care of neighbors’ dogs, and it only made me love them more! I’ve also cared for roommates’ dogs and cats, and have experience with some of the less-fun things like giving pills and medications when necessary. I do work a standard job from 9 to 5, so I would be available to petsit, check-in, or walk on evenings and weekends. If the location works out, I could do check-ins on the lunch hour as well! While I’m not able to have pets over to my home, I am very respectful of others’ homes and spaces, and I recognize the importance of routine in pet care, so I do my best to keep pets happy and healthy and give them the attention they need when you’re not able to!
“Jillian was a lifesaver! I knew immediately when Zoey met her, we would vibe. I am far away on vacation and she's been a huge help for my family. Being that my dog is a senior, the excellent communication and photos I received has eased my mind. Thank you so much, Jillian!”
About: I love taking care of all types of dogs! PT student who is very flexible! Let me know if there is anything specific you would like! I enjoy coming home from work and being able to walk and care for dogs! I’m very active so it fits my routine/lifestyle well! Let me know how I can help them best! I make sure to keep pets in their comfort zone and listen closely to the owner’s wishes. It’s an awesome part of my routine and I love every dog I come across!
About: Growing up in a ranch in Arizona with five dogs (including two great Danes and one Doberman) and eight horses I started caring for animals at a young age. Oral medication or injections are ok, diabetic dogs okay too. I've personally rescued two dogs in Detroit and still have one, Harper, a Staffordshire mix. I love all breeds and do not discriminate. Have a hyper dog? I'll run your buddy all over town along side my bike. Your best friend will get all the same love and care that you give them. Overnight stays will be full of fun and lots of walks. Daytime visits will always be nice long walks with visits to local parks and shopping areas for maximum socialization and puppy excitement.
About: I worked at a pet resort for 4 years where I gained experience with basic grooming & medication administration, including insulin injections. During my time there, I floated around from front desk, grooming, group play, and kennel attendant. We mostly took care of cats and dogs; however, we also had a few bunnies, guinea pigs, a bird, and even a fish stay with us! I enjoy taking care of and loving any and all kinds of animals! I am comfortable taking care of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In my personal life, I currently have a 4 year old husky mix, a 11 month old german shepherd mix, and a 6 year old tuxedo cat. In my spare time I enjoy teaching the dogs new tricks or cuddling with the cat. I am not currently working, so I have plenty of time to play with your loved pet! I would love to spoil your pet as much as possible! I will treat each and every pet like they are my own. They deserve every ounce of love they can get! I will respect the pets boundaries and follow any instructions needed while making sure everyone stays happy and healthy!
About: I have cared for animals all my life. I will care for your furbaby's as if they are my own and do everything I can to make sure they are happy and healthy I am currently I am available any day of the week from 7am to 7pm. If needed we can talk about earlier or later times. I am available for overnight stays I am comfortable with and will follow what ever house rules or instructions you have whether it be no dogs on the couch or the dogs own the house.
About: Ive always loved pets, and I’ve been a foster home for a local shelter for years before, recently moved back to Detroit and I’m looking to help out with pet sitting for some local people! I currently have a very active husky of my own! I’m a young professional who works entirely from home on a flexible schedule, looking to find some pets to care for! I am a very active person that will go on jogs and walks with dogs. I always go off of what the pets needs are. I love giving noggin pats and making sure pets exercise if possible. Keeping pets happy makes me happy, too!
“Tara was so wonderful with my new rescue! She’s trustworthy, gave great updates, and was flexible with days/timing. I appreciated her communication as well.”
About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. Horses, dogs, cats, you name it. My mom is a dog breeder and I help with that as well. I am usually available. Right now I am working part time. . . . . . . Message me and we can make arrangements, thanks. At home my pets are outdoors most of the time in fences. I can easily take care of indoor or outdoor pets. In or out, that’s all up to you! I feed and water my animals. I provide medicine when needed.
About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, big or small. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, rats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish! I have experience giving injections and oral meds and I’m super comfortable with doing so. Also, I have experience watching pets post-op, as well as puppies and dogs with anxiety. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but would love to care for your pet on weekends and evenings. I’m available most weekday evenings for walks or drop ins, and I’m available anytime on weekends for walks or drop ins. I’d love to be a great companion to your pet while you trust me with their care. I love playing with high energy dogs to get their energy out, but I also respect pets who need chill/alone time.
“Alayna is great, my dog is happy, I am definitely rebooking her again. She sent me the cutest photos of my dog, played with him, walked and pet him, and swapped his water more often than I do. Thank you so much”
About: Since I was in my teens I have lived a life with pets - both dogs and cats, and it has been such a rewarding journey so far! I have had two rescue dogs, a collie mix and a beagle, and they had my whole heart. I currently have a multi-cat household, and do TNR in my neighborhood where I can to help the outdoor stray cats. I have also rehomed multiple cats with the help of local rescue groups to ensure a long happy kitty life. Currently, I spend a great deal of time with my best buddy Rocco, an 8 year old black lab. I have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs and large dogs and honestly enjoy them all the same! I also have experience with cats of all ages, from bottle feeding kittens to 18 year old seniors, and am comfortable giving any medications to dogs or cats as well. I know my way around all kinds of personalities and ages, whether it be those that want to play or those that need a slow, gentle walk and some extra attention. I have also been working with the same vet for 20+ years that can attest to my care and love for animals. I will treat every pet like my own - patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Being around animals - that's my happy place. My hours at work have changed which allows me to be available Monday-Friday 11am-3pm. I'm available for walks, drops ins for potty breaks while you're at work, or to check on your kitties if you'll be gone longer than you'd like to be. Lots of time for playing with your furry family members! I would be happy to come to your home and treat it and your pets with respect and care. My personal cats are all fixed and up to date on shots, however I took in a stray girl last winter who is very scared of everything. I think it's best to let her rule the house and come to visit yours at your homes where they are most comfortable.
About: CCS Grad Student based West Village. Grew up in a Shitzu home, but I only get to see her on weekends. However, I've been taking care of small dogs and pet-sitting dogs and cats for fam/friends for the last 4 years. I'm a full-time grad student, so aside from evening or afternoon classes, I'm flexible. Morning and/or Evening walking + feeding schedules are no issue. I’m a morning person! I've cared for pets in my own home or their own, and my primary focus is always making sure they are comfortable. Usually, that means trying my best to follow their normal routines.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Harper Woods is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harper Woods
Peyton was absolutely wonderful! I’m so thankful she was able to help me when I needed it the most. She was incredibly sweet and kind, both to me and to Georgia, and I felt so comfortable having Georgia in her care. She kept me updated constantly and sent me lots of pictures, which I absolutely LOVE because being able to see Georgia while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. 🥹 She took such great care of her, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Georgia too! She was so easy and fun to work with, and I had such a great experience with her. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. I’m so grateful for all her help! ❤️🐶
Jules was very kind, pleasant, and caring with my dogs, and they seemed comfortable with her right away. I appreciated her friendly attitude and willingness to help. There were a few communication hiccups along the way, particularly around the app and payment process, but overall she was nice to work with and clearly good with animals.
Danny was a home run pick for our very high energy rescue dog. He communicated every step of the way leading up to the first visit and took our boy on his very first three mile run. Best decision ever. You can tell how much he loves animals and they respond in kind. Looking forward to the next visit.
We’ve been so happy to find Caelan! She communicates fast and friendly, is reliable, and has given us great peace of mind knowing our new energetic pup is getting activity through the day. She is attentive to our doggos needs and has gone above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her more in the future!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Harper Woods is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $5 and $28 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.

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 Harper Woods. 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 Harper Woods 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 Harper Woods. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
