About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family members and close friends. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about animals, and I strive to create an stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work only one day a week, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most days and can work around your schedule to ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!

“Samantha is Amazing. Drake suffer from anxiety & fear. Instantly Drake took to Samantha, which lets me know that Drake feels safe with her!! I mentioned to Samantha that I would like to someday take Drake for a walk on a trail or to a park. She told me about a trail she knew & asked if she could take Drake there for his walk today and I said that would be awesome. After their time walking on the trail, Samantha sent me photos of the walk and let me know that Drake had a great time exploring new things and that he was a good boy. Over the last 6 months, Drake has been in training to develop skills to help cope with his anxiety & fear. Thank you so much Samantha for the patience and love you showed Drake today!! Taking him on trail walk with good behavior lets me know that his trainings working!! You will definitely be the 1st person I contact to care for Drake in the future!!”

“Margaret was so wonderful to our baby Bruno! She was punctual in showing up to walk him, communicated with both the house/dog sitter and us while we were on our two week trip. She communicated with us almost daily and included some pics as well. Our dog seemed very happy to be with her as well for his walks. Would highly recommend this reliable and wonderful person!”

About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote most of my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, or more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.

About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷

“Daisy did a fantastic job walking my dog, Callie! She was very punctual, went the extra mile (literally!), and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates—it gave me great peace of mind knowing how the walk went and how Callie was doing. Callie seemed very happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Daisy and would happily book with her again!”

About: Lifelong pet/animal lover! I grew up with a lab and also helped my family for years dogsitting cuties of different breeds, ages, etc. I've never met a dog who does not love me and who I haven't loved back! *Due to increasing clientele volume, I am mainly accepting dogs who get along well with another dog in the home, for boarding.* Especially during holidays. *For dogs who need to be the only boarded dog - I could still watch them in my home - during NonHoliday dates Only. Depending on the dates and if I already have a rover dog during same dates. I can let you know, please message me ahead of time. *I live in an apartment (2 bedroom), pet-friendly complex. Dog park in our apartment complex - within walking distance. I can only accept dogs of a maximum of 70 pounds each. 2 dogs at most :) I work full time during the week, hybrid. My dog-loving husband will also be around for your doggie too of course and helping take care of your pet as well. I live just minutes away from a dog park (part of my apartment complex community), and many local beautiful parks. At my apartment I’ll always be with your cutie(s) leashed outside. And we'll get regular exercise, going on walks.

About: I am a huge dog lover, with a lot of love and care to give. My family has always kept a dog in the home since I was age 7, and always loved the loyalty, companionship, playfulness and protection a dog provides. A dog is truly a great pet and a great friend to have. I'd treat any dog in my care like my own. I currently work from home full time, and I would love to soak up some of my free time by caring for pups! I will gladly send you photo and video updates of your pup's stay. I understand how important it is to find a genuine caregiver for your pet. Dogs truly bring me joy and I am happy to offer a hand/home. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of open area for daily routine walks. I am very active, so your fur baby is sure to have their exercise. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so no need to worry about your pup getting used to any other furry or not so furry people :).

Today was my first experience with Rover/Molly. Wow! She went above and beyond! My dogs adore her…not the norm for them. Such piece of mind knowing your dogs are well cared for! I hesitate to give such a great review of Molly knowing that means she might not be available when I need her! 10/10!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Independence Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Independence Township is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $27 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 3,464 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Independence Township. 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 Independence Township. 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 Independence Township 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 Independence Township. 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.
