About: I have been providing pet-sitting services since 2019 and have cared for a variety of dogs and cats. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I currently share my home with a friendly Shih Tzu and a Burmese cat, giving me daily experience with both canine and feline needs. In addition to drop-in visits and pet sitting, I have boarded pets in my home and understand how to help them adjust to a new environment while maintaining their routines and reducing stress. My experience includes feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and providing regular updates to pet owners. I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive individualized attention, affection, and excellent care while their families are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I am committed to providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and do not work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Before the stay, I take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. During their stay, your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision. Dogs will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Cats will receive attentive care, enrichment, play, and a quiet, comfortable environment where they can feel secure. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm and loving atmosphere. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dog my whole life. I have watched dogs for friends and family and have experience with lots of different breeds. I’ve cared for elderly and unwell dogs as well as very energetic breeds. No dog is to big or to small. I am currently working full-time, so I am only really available on the weekends (Friday evening - Monday morning) I still enjoy doing this but it is currently more of a side gig. Regardless the quality of my services have not changed. 🙂 I am great at following instructions and only want what’s best for your animals. I am able to handle multiple animals at a time and I’m good at making sure they all get the attention they need. I love spending time playing with and exercising animals and taking of whatever they need.

About: I have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for about 10yrs. I have experience with many breeds(yorkie to pitbull) of all ages(8wk old puppy to 15yr old senior). I walk my own senior dog daily and understand the time and patience they need. I have rescued dogs over the years with different issues and understand each dog is different and has different needs and personalities. I'm fully prepared to try to meet those needs and help them have a great experience with me. Pet Care fits into my free time in the week. I have pretty open availability morning into mid day. I'm available to cover the Midland, Beaverton and Gladwin area Mon, Wed and Fri. I try to be aware of surroundings and other animals to avoid any possible situations that would put your pet in harm or even a stressful situation. I will do my best to make every visit enjoyable and safe for your pet.

Madeline was prompt and communicated how our dog was feeling since she had an off day the day before. She sent photos and a video and with it being her first walk with our dog, our dog was very comfortable with her. Looking forward to having her walk our pup again.

About: Hi! I’m Addy — a lifelong dog lover who recently moved to Freeland, MI. I share my home with Kahlua, my sweet and friendly Pomsky, who loves making new dog friends. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pup with someone new, and my goal is always to give your dog a safe, calm, and happy experience — full of warmth, playtime, and love. Whether you need a walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy place for boarding, your dog will be treated like family. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s personality. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and honest communication. Hablo español también, si prefieres comunicarte en tu idioma. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently working only Thursdays and Sundays afternoons, which allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, and consistent supervision. I build my schedule around the dogs I care for, making sure they get attention, potty breaks, and exercise at the times they need it. For boarding or drop-in visits, I’m very flexible and can adjust to your dog’s normal routine — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Your pup will never feel rushed or left waiting. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling predictable, calm, and comfortable. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are always supervised and kept in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide fresh water at all times, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a cozy place to rest. I make sure doors are always closed, and I only introduce dogs to my Pomsky, Kahlua, if both pets are comfortable and it’s a good match. For walks and drop-in visits, I use secure harnesses or leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I keep a slow, steady pace and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every dog with patience, structure, and attention. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and relaxed — and for you to feel fully confident while they’re in my care.

About: I have always LOVED all animals but, especially dogs. I am a 4-H kid through & through. I have handled & shown steers, sheep, dogs, rabbits, you name it! I have experience on Rover as well as being the go to person for family and friends when they need a walker or sitter. I have a husky of my own so I am fully equipt to handle your escape artist! I also have a 100 pound german shepherd who loves to chase a a squirrel so I am extremely confident in handling your large dog or dog who pulls on the leash. I have a soft spot for reactive or “difficult” dogs & am open to working with you to ensure they get all the exercise they need to be happy & healthy :) I am a chiropractic student so my schedule is pretty flexible and very open on the weekends! It can change daily so I am open to most times & will work with you to make it happen. I am happy to do early mornings or late nights. My schedule usually is M 7AM-12PM, T 2PM-7PM, W 7AM-12PM, TH 2PM-7PM, & F 7AM-12PM. I have had my dogs walked and taken care of in my home many times so I understand what is expected from the other end. Your dog’s safety is my #1 priority. I will follow all requests to the best of my ability.

About: For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering dogs, gaining extensive experience with all breeds, large and small. My passion lies in building trust and genuine relationships with each individual dog, understanding that every pup needs unique attention and companionship. I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love. I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when ever you need me. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!

Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.

About: I've had a dog in my household since I was 4 years old, and have extensive experience with senior canines, young puppies, and everything inbetween! I have worked with dogs professionally as well, from my time at The Paw Patch in Loganville to present day where I am a pet sitter outside of Rover, you can rest assured your pup is in good hands. I know every trick in the book to encourage that senior dog that doesn't finish all their food, and I am patient with the young ones who are still learning how to be a good citizen. I also have experience with reactive, resource guarding dogs, as I have one of my own. If this fits your dog, let's talk extensively about their behavior so I am well prepared to meet them in person! I look forward to working with you and your pets! My schedule is completely flexible, pet sitting and pet care is my only focus currently and will be for the foreseeable future! Summer and the holiday season are the busiest times of the year for me, so be sure to book in advance to secure your spot! I'm available from 6am to 9pm daily. Due to when my schedule gets filled up quickly, I request a grace period of 30-45 minutes from the scheduled time in case there is an emergency at another household, and I will always communicate if this is the case. I only offer visits and care at clients' homes currently. I have been in other industries where I am trusted to go into other people's homes with the guarantee that everything will be in its place and quality service is delivered - pest control and professional house cleaning. I can either leave the house key in it's designated place, or carry it with me on my own key ring with no worries at all. If you have a garage code I can navigate that as well! If you are away from home for an extended period of time, I will gladly bring in any packages and mail to ensure no one else gets any ideas about the security of your property. Doors will always be locked behind me and lights turned off if requested - that is a habit drilled into me from a young age and I always double and triple check the security of the home before leaving. This is very important to both me and you!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hope

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 286 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hope. 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 Hope. 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 Hope.

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 Hope. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
