About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
““Walker was very courteous and professional. Tommy seemed comfortable with her right away, even though they had just met. She was patient, attentive, and very understanding of all the instructions I provided for Tommy’s care. I felt confident leaving him in her hands and would definitely recommend her.””
About: I have 10 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and working in a shelter. My home is run by 4 cats! I am very knowledgeable in dog behavior, as well as in the care of both young and old fur friends. I have extensive experience walking dogs of all sizes, so no worries there! I am very flexible, and available at almost any time. I understand you want someone you trust, and is consistent, to be your go-to for looking after your family member. You know your family best. It is my job to make you feel secure with trusting me with such an important task, and to follow all instructions given. As well as to inform you if anything needs to be adjusted, and providing clear communication with you when/if any issues arise.
“She was so understanding of my pup needing slow introductions. He is a pitbull but that did not phase her at all! Lauren came over and let him sniff her, let him do whatever he needed. He fell in love with her immediately and he loves their walks! I always needed someone to rely on but was nervous, not anymore!! She is my new go-to if I am ever busy and I never have to worry!! She is so sweet and understanding of everything, I recommend to everyone!! ♥️”
About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.
About: My very first job was starting a dog walking business with my sister and best friend when I was 13! I would walk up to two dogs at a time, feed them their meals, spend time with them while their owners were away, and play with them! I now have two of my own dogs that I adore and love spending time with. Throughout the years, my love for dogs and animals has only grown! I have been completing Rover services since May of 2026, and have fallen in love with it as a full-time job! I am available Monday through Friday, and the times are very flexible, as well as weekends as needed. I am looking to see more dogs weekly, so reach out to see if the times works! At my house, we have a fenced in yard, so my dogs roam freely. While on walks, they use a harness and a leash. I am comfortable with putting on all harnesses and prefer to walk a dog with a leash, but if the dog is trained well enough to not need one, I am comfortable with that as well.
“January is an awesome dog walker! I had her walk my dog while I was recovering from surgery and she was very flexible with my schedule, took good care of my dog on walks and provided info about each walk and his behavior. i’d definitely recommend her to everyone else!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
About: I use to work on Rover before the pandemic. I loved it, I love animals dogs especially.I have had pets my whole life.

About: I've had the pleasure of growing up in a dog household ever since I was little. I have worked with a number of various breeds but have had the opportunity to raise a German Shepherd as well as my current Australian Shepherd and Blue heeler, who both have plenty of energy. I’ve been blessed with finding a work from home job as an RN and am free most days to help your pup. I took a little break from Rover but am back now that I have a more flexible schedule. Looking to meet your pups and create a consistent schedule ! I have a decent sized fenced backyard that will give your doggo plenty of space to run around with my Australian shepherd dog. I also have space for a crate if they are crate trained.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in every kind of way for many years . I have a pure passion for animals in general however dogs are my best friends. I work from home so I’m extremely open to all schedules. I enjoy going for walks in nature and going to the beaches and parks daily . So it works for my lifestyle. I have a three bedroom apartment with a lot of space . There are a lot of trails and even a dog park in my complex.
About: My pets are my family and they are such lovable creatures. I take the time to ensure they are well cared for each day. Know that your pet will receive the same luv and care. As a RN I thoroughly enjoyed “caring” for patients which is just naturally who I am as a person. Since retiring I’ve had more time to indulge in things that I enjoy—spending time with fur babies I find so rewarding—they are always so loving and ready for fun. I have two beautiful dogs of my own that I simply adore. My son often tells me I spoil them both—but their soooo precious! Please trust that I’ll provide care, comfort, and safety for your pets as well. My pets get along well with other dogs and will be sure to help keep your fur baby(s) company with lots of playtime fun. I also have a large back yard for pets to burn off energy. Pets have a dedicated area in my finished basement with ceramic floors (floors are cleaned at end of each day or as needed) for indoor play, comfort and sleep time. I monitor the pets personally when indoors and via cameras at night. Pets are allowed in personal living space if they are house trained.

I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Rhonda! She is incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely cares about my rambunctious fur baby. My dog can be a handful with all that energy, but Rhonda handles it with such calmness and kindness—it really puts my mind at ease. I always know my pup is in great hands, getting plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Highly recommend Rhonda to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Inkster on Rover is $22.2 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 4,055 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Inkster. 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 Inkster. 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 Inkster.

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 Inkster. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
