About: Being a dog walker allows me to combine my love for animals with physical activity and the outdoors. I'm excited about the opportunity to care for and spend time with furry companions while providing them with the exercise and attention they need. I would love the opportunity to help out with your dog. I unfortunately am not close enough to my job that allows me to let my dog out during the day. I am at work by 8am and hope by 4:45. It can be earlier if needed. I am a teacher and have the lovely teacher schedule. Overall, my approach to pet care is centered around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs to ensure they live happy and fulfilling lives as valued members of the family.

I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.
“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha! She took such great care of our three dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent. They gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and would absolutely love to have her watch them again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“This was our first experience with a Rover drop-in sitter for our senior cat and Kyla put us at ease! She sent lots of photos with each visit and even a couple videos. Hendrix was a happy cat when we got home and Kyla took care to lock up and even grab the mail and a package for us. We look forward to utilizing her services again!”
“Mason was wonderful to work with! They gave us thorough updates with pics at each drop in, and were very communicative about making sure all of our needs and expectations were met. Our pitbull mix is a “covid baby” who doesn’t always calm down for new people, and by the end of Mason’s stay we were seeing pictures of our dog totally relaxed on her back for belly rubs. Mason also has vet experience which really put our minds at ease as we knew they would notice and act if they saw any injuries or health concerns while we were away. Will definitely book with Mason again!”

Becky was amazing. I needed a sitter at the last minute (2 days before a vacation that was planned for over a year) and she was so accommodating. I always worry and feel guilty when i leave my pets and I was extra stressed because our meet and greet was only a day before we left. She was so communicative with her texts and pictures. I could see that they were getting lots of love and attention. When we arrived home my pets hadn't missed a beat. That tells me that they were well taken care and loved Becky. I would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again.
Taylor has been absolutely amazing with Bodhi! From the very beginning, she has been so patient, kind, and genuinely caring with her. It’s obvious that Taylor takes the time to get to know Bodhi and allows her to become comfortable and build trust at her own pace, which means so much to me. I’ve really enjoyed watching Bodhi become more comfortable and excited about spending time with Taylor. You can tell they’re developing such a sweet bond, and knowing Bodhi is with someone who is attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoys being with her gives me so much peace of mind. Taylor is also wonderful about communicating and keeping me updated. Most importantly, I never feel like Bodhi is simply another appointment on her schedule — Taylor genuinely cares about her and it shows. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for a very special member of their family. ❤️🐾🐾

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lake Orion is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 3,250 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lake Orion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Orion choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
