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.

About: I have never lived in a house without a dog! I have helped my family take care of our dogs my entire life, ranging from a large American Bulldog to a little pug. I often watch and walk/run my sister's one-year-old pit-mix, who is super high energy. I always manage to find a dog no matter where I am, giving it as much love as possible! I currently only work part-time as I am out of school for the summer, so my schedule is quite open. My work schedule varies week to week, but my shifts are short, allowing for multiple visits per day. I always make sure dogs are comfortable with my actions by moving slowly and calmly, building their trust. When walking, I make sure to hold the leash with two hands and keep an eye out for other startling pedestrians and animals nearby.
“Unbelievable service. On time. Flexible. Reliable & Trustworthy. Cleans my dogs paws when they get dirty from walks. Sophia usually doesnt take to strangers. She loves Kristina and gets excited when Kristina visits as if they were besties. Most importantly Kristina loves her and treats my dog is if Sophia were her own. Strongly recommend”

I have also had experience dogsitting quite a few times for friends, including once when watching three dogs at once successfully. I am a newly self-employed jack-of-all-trades with a first come, first serve schedule. The only times I’ll need to leave the house is for evenings when I have sports or performances, but I can gladly accommodate your schedule; I am very flexible! While my golden retriever lives with my parents and I have looked after him on my own several times, we keep our dog on a leash at all times and always keep an eye out on him. Pets in my house will have as much of my undivided attention as possible and will make sure they are taken care of and entertained and loved!

“Sarah was really good with my dog and sent phot and detailed descriptions of how everything went on the walks. She came to the rescue last minute and walked him for me while I was away on vacation. He did really good with her except for always trying to get his collar on!”
About: My first dog was a Collie when I was ten and I’ve been in love with animals ever since. We’ve fostered cats and dogs for a number of years. Currently we only have our rescued dogs and cats. We do watch friends and family pets when they are away. Also, I worked for a veterinarian for about four years. My husband and I are retired. I’m looking for something that offers me routine without long term commitment. I enjoy walking, and a dog just adds to the happiness. I have a fenced yard and three dogs and two cats. My pug eats in her crate, but she lets herself out when she’s finished. I have extra beds and crates, a comfy couch for your animals to lay on. All dogs must be potty trained and under 30lbs. On active flea preventive, up to date on vaccines.

My home is pet friendly and pets are welcome on furniture and even on the bed.

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 Livonia on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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 Livonia. 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 Livonia.

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 Livonia. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
