About: I’ve been a dog owner since childhood and currently have 3 that are my world. I’ve taken care of many neighbor’s and friend’s dogs for years and have been referred to many people for dog sitting, walking and even just making a visit for a potty break and some snuggles. Doing some work from home but have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the day and evenings for walking and/ or potty visits. I am very dependable and will treat your fur baby with the best care. Also very big on following any rules you may have for your dog. Ensure that I’ll care for your dog the exact same way I’d want someone to care for my pups 🐶

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover, I bring constant care, attention, and a calm, nurturing presence to every pup I walk or care for. I’m home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone or rushed. I specialize in gentle walks, giving extra patience to puppies and the special care seniors need. Whether that means slower walks, meds, or cuddles on the couch. I treat every dog like family and believe in clear communication with pet parents, so you always feel at ease. My kids start school, and I will be available from 8am-3pm M-F. I am available for evenings upon request just depending on my kids sports schedule. I’m also free Fridays 8-8pm and weekends too! In my home, pets get a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Meal times, walks, play, and downtime—to help them feel comfortable and secure. I offer plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day, and I’m home full-time so they’re never left alone for long. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I keep everything clean, follow your instructions, and make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well loved while you’re away. Communication is key, so you’ll get regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

I work full time as a vet assistant, but looking for a side job to do here and there. :) ** My schedule varies, please reach out** :) I work full time, long hour days so I do have more days off, currently I am looking for drop ins or walks for now! Safety is #1, communication is a must, being able to get your little fur baby out and about is important and fitting all your needs is as well.

About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.

“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’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Taking care of pets is something I find rewarding because I love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and keeping their space clean. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I would love the chance to care for someone’s pets and give them the same love and attention I would give my own. I have experience with giving dogs oral medication and am willing to learn all of your pets needs. I currently have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. I’m available to accommodate different routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other needs to help ensure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I know how personal it is to invite someone into your home and trust them with a beloved pet. I don’t take that trust lightly. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want for my own, while making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My goal is for every client to feel completely at ease knowing their home and their furry family members are in caring, dependable hands.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family bred Australian shepherds. I’ve owned small dogs like a Chihuahua and big dogs like Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience with just about every breed of dog. I grew up in farm land and I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I’m a pitbull lover as I currently own one. I love being outdoors and giving lots of cuddles! I currently work full time in a school so I get plenty of time off including holiday breaks and summer hours. I only work 7 hours a day Monday-Friday. So I’m available for overnight care. I’m available most weekends as well. I would feel more comfortable in your home so your pets don’t get any anxiety being away from their safe place. I’m trustworthy and reliable. I’ve had background checks and I have reliable sources. Your pet will be in good care with me.

About: Hi! I’m Kel, and I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and clients since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I’ve found incredibly rewarding. I know that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry free as possible—for both you and your pets. I’m attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs, whether that means an energetic dog who needs plenty of playtime, a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, or a shy cat who needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I currently share my home with my cats, Rosemary, Cheezel, Wasabi, and my Great Pyrenees, Marsha.. They’ve taught me plenty about the joys, quirks, and occasional chaos that come with having pets! I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and attentive to detail. I’ll treat your pets, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled drop-ins, walks, and house visits rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I’m comfortable working with different routines and can follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, play, and bathroom schedules as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is especially important , so I make an effort to keep their routine familiar while you’re away. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is to make caring for your pets a reliable part of my routine while giving you peace of mind that they’re getting the attention and care they need. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I believe staying in their own space helps reduce stress, especially for cats who can be sensitive to changes in their surroundings. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, walks, and medication or other special needs as discussed. I’ll take the time to interact with your pet based on their personality—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a quieter visit with some gentle companionship. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual. If I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you promptly rather than assuming it’s normal. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi ! My name is Cat, and I currently reside in Waterford, MI. I am an animal lover who grew up with cats and dogs my whole life, so I definitely know what I’m doing when it comes to taking proper care of pets. I currently do not own any pets, so I truly enjoy being able to be help people with their furry children! Every time I hang out with friends you can always find me sitting with their dog or cat on the couch 🐶🐱 I enjoy pet-sitting as a way to be more active outdoors, earn extra income, and be around some cute dogs and cats ! My experience thus far includes watching my next door neighbor’s three Shih Tzu dogs (approx. 7 years) along with their 4 ducks (approx. 4 years), my sister’s Golden Retriever and 3 Domestic Shorthairs (approx. 5 years) and my parent’s chihuahua (10 years). As well as many other friend’s and acquaintance’s pets on and off Rover. I am currently a part time student for the summer and only have online classes. The remainder of my time can be spent devoted to your beloved pets ! I live in an apartment, so I would prefer only hosting small pets. I am totally open to dog walking/house sitting. I have references available as well.

About: Hi, I’m Sophie Water, a senior Honors student at the University of Michigan! I offer dependable, caring, and flexible pet-sitting services for your furry friend—whether you’re going away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip. I can provide drop-in visits or overnight sitting, tailored to your pet’s needs! I also pride myself on sending excessive amounts of pet pictures to you (unless requested that I don’t). As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from them, no matter how long it is. I’ve grown up with at least four pets and have over 7 years of experience with pet-sitting. I’m passionate about animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. SERVICES I OFFER: Drop-in Visits: For feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any medication if needed. Overnight Sitting: I stay at your home to ensure your pet is never left alone overnight. Pet Care for All Animals: I am definitely open to watching all kinds of pets! Please submit additional pets with your original requests and I will follow-up as soon as I can! Additional Tasks: If you need help with things like bringing in the mail, watering plants, or any other small tasks while you’re away, I can definitely assist! FREE CONSULTATION AVAILABLE My resume, more detailed proof of experience, references, and service rates are available upon request. Please feel free to message me through Rover if you’re interested in any of the above services. I’d be happy to schedule a free consultation to meet and discuss details further prior to booking. Super excited to meet you and your pets! I am a college senior at UofM, and am about to graduate. Most of my coursework and internship work can be done remotely and asynchronously, so I’m flexible and willing to adapt to your pet’s needs!! I also am from the Metro Detroit area and can stay with family there, so if you’re looking for services there I may be able to still help out. Unfortunately, my current lease agreement doesn’t allow me to have pets in my own home. That being said, I find that this is often a comfort to most pets. It can be a tough adjustment when both your owner and home are suddenly gone! I do my best to make sure I follow your pet’s routine to the best of my ability. I also take into consideration pet personalities, likes and dislikes, and try my hardest to intuitively and empathetically care for them. As someone who grew up with pets of all temperaments (from escape artists to insanely energetic to couch potatoes), I am able to build relationships with each pet individually and anticipate their wants and needs. Pets are just as smart (if not smarter ;) than people, and I make it a given that I treat them as such. There are no silly questions or requests! I am happy to cater to what YOU believe and know your pet needs, and work especially hard to keep you updated (unless you request against it). I’m a super cautious and paranoid person, which at times can be a negative. In terms of pet care, though, this means that nothing will slip through the cracks. Any concerns that may in the past have gone unnoticed will be meticulously catered to. I hope you’ll trust that your pets are just as important to me as my own, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they have the safest and best time they can with me!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Leonard. 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 Leonard. 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 , 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 Leonard 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leonard. 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 .

walkers 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. 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.
