“Arden is a very pleasant person. He took time to come by and meet my pets beforehand. He communicated really well, and I felt confident he was tak8ng good care of my little dog. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Justin is extremely reliable and did a great job of taking care of our dog, Lucy, even driving her to the park where she and I walk every day so that she would maintain her normal routine.”
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
“Tennille is great! My pup liked her right away and she sent me pictures and an update. It was a big weight off my mind to know my dog was getting a nice break when I had a long day away.”
“I recently hired Ally to walk my Teddy and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. From our initial consultation, I could tell that Ally was passionate about dogs and genuinely cared about their well-being. Not only did Ally provide excellent care for my dog, but she also went above and beyond by offering additional services such as feeding, watering, and administering medication for my dog while I was away. Her attention to detail and level of care exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Ally to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker!”
“Michael was professional and took great care of Mister. He kept me updated by logging everything and even sent photos, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing Mister was in good hands.”
About: My full name is Olivia Vera Love but you can call me Vera! I’ve taken care of animals of every kind ever since I could walk. Henry was my first dog and he was an English Setter. Ollie was my first cat and he came from a local barn. My mom taught me how to care for their every need and extend that towards other dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, guineas, and goats. I have walked, fed, bathed, brushed, and worked with special needs dogs, chickens, reptiles, and elderly cats. At one point I was taking care of four cats, three dogs, and twenty birds. I'm confident in my experience with animals to leave a positive impact on them. Both of my mom’s dogs are older dachshunds with special needs. I regularly dog sit a lovely miniature Australian Shepherd and cat sit a Blue Russian cat on my own time. I also currently own one rat, Cheez-it, and she loves the Australian Shepherd. Im a recent graduate looking for work so I'm flexible at the moment. Routine is two walks a day in the morning and night. I am looking for a full time position so while I currently am able to provide full time support in the future I will be able to provide part time support. I strive to give patience and understanding. I react to the needs of the pet or pet owner and do what needs to be done to do what will make the pet happy. My love for animals is primarily through my love of their capacity for empathy. Through my experiences I have also learned to be stern and to stand my ground with pets to work with them and to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for others for 15 years, and grew up on a farm making any and all types of furry friends along the way. I have two dogs of my own, Dante and Olaf who are my whole world. I’d love to help with your fur babies and spoil them as they deserve to be! I currently am furry friends 24/7! I’m a stay at home dog mom, and am more than happy to help out with your fur babies whenever needed :) I pride myself on the fact that I treat each and every furry friend as if they were my own baby! Always staying mindful of surroundings, making sure they have food/water, are comfortable and playing to their hearts desires. I’m happy to follow any routines and/guidelines you may have to make it the most comfortable for you and your baby!
About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.
About: Hello, my name is Shirley Gonzalez! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’ve been caring for animals professionally since I was 17 when I started working at a doggy day care facility. Although, all throughout my childhood I had pets of all kinds such as parakeets, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, snakes, and fish. After leaving the boarding industry, I decided to become a Vet Tech, to further pursue my passion. I have 4 years of vet tech experience total, some spent working in a high volume-low cost hospital, so I am confident I can handle just about anything, and have seen it all! I’m am capable of caring for all kinds of pets like Guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, to name a few; and of course, dogs and cats of all sizes. I have a soft spot for feisty chihuahuas and seniors! I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats that may be labeled as “difficult”, and will always be willing to do a meet and greet as many times as needed, beforehand to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I can safely administer medications orally, topically, or injections such as insulin. My experience as a vet tech has given me knowledge and tools that I use to ensure your pet stays safe, secure, and stress-free in a potentially stressful situation, as I understand some fur babies may have separation anxiety. I do accept drop-ins during my overnight stays, sometimes having to step out multiple times a day for a couple hours, so if that is something that will not work for your pets, please let me know so I can accommodate accordingly. I’m very big on reading body language, and I feel it goes a long way to making your pets feel at ease while you’re away. Comfort for your fur babies and peace of mind for you are part of the package deal! I’m available for overnight stays, and drop ins for any species. Drop ins always welcome! I can provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, even a bed time visit, and plenty of cuddles and playtime for kitties and pups who need that stimulation. I send you tons of pictures and updates throughout the day so you’ll never have to wonder what your pets are getting up to. If you like your update photos, ask about booking a private photo session, shot using a professional camera! I now provide full-time pet care services! We can work around your existing schedule so not much has to change for them. No routine is too extravagant! Currently, I do not offer boarding. I have a ton of in-home pet sitting experience and feel it’s easier on your pets when they get to stay home.
“Andrea is amazing! She has been walking my dachshund Penny Monday-Friday for the past few weeks and what a difference it has made. Penny was displaying severe separation anxiety which haD led to destructive behavior. I was at the point of crating her during the day which I didn’t want to do. Andrea came in at the right time with patience and love. I am now returning the crate I bought because the destruction has stopped. I highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized, attentive care. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies, shy rescues, and senior pets needing extra love I am currently a full time student at MSU and work part time, but my work and class schedule is super flexible! Let’s work together to find what works best for us and your pet! In my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, stress-free environment. I’m super good at reading body language to understand and meet each pet’s needs. I follow their routine with playtime, feeding, walks, and companionship.
“Mia was a great fit for myself and my dog, Jeeves. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker! She was punctual, communicated very effectively, and gave my pup lots of love.”

Stop scrolling and click here . . . you have found your new dog walker! Tiana is wonderful, showed up on time, brought her own leash, took several pictures and even a video of my silly dog doing zoomies in the park, and updated me with bathroom breaks. And you have to applaud walking in Michigan winters! She communicates well and offers solutions for alternative days and times in order to navigate both our busy schedules. I highly recommend Tiana to be your pets new companion. 10+
Nicolas is very reliable and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate his attentiveness to my senior chihuahua. He really took the time to understand her needs and comfort levels. Arranging a meet-and-greet prior to the booking was one of the many ways he demonstrated how much he prioritizes that. I really loved the detailed notes, photos, and videos. He was so great with Mika, and I can tell she enjoyed her sessions with him too. I definitely recommend Nicolas and would love to use his services again.

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 Lansing. 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 Lansing.

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 Lansing. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
