About: My life doesn’t feel complete unless I have little paws around me! Right now I have three doggos…A giant Lab/Dalmatian mix, a goofy Goldendoodle, and a small Cocker Spaniel nugget. I promise that I will treat your pups just like mine and love them as much as you do! Pets are a part of our family and should be treated like it. A lot of my life is dictated around my dogs, and that’s the way it should be! I never leave them for more than 6 hours and I always make time to play and stimulate them because they wait all day for us! I love taking my dogs on new adventures and to new places so they can explore! I will follow all of your directions and keep your schedule just like you would! I always think that pets do best on a schedule so I promise to keep yours to make their life easier! I will follow their dietary restrictions along with their training!

“Izzy is fantastic. Izzy has walked our dog for close to a year. She’s completely reliable, makes sure our dog doesn’t eat anything suspicious while walking, and has even done some dog training. Our girl loves her so much, she will actually leave the house with Izzy even though I may be home - she doesn’t do this for anyone but Izzy.”

About: There’s nothing more stressful than finding someone to take care of your pets while your away. As a member of your family, you want to know that they will be well taken care of while you’re away. Let me give you peace of mind knowing that your animals are being taken care of, the way you would. As a owner of two dogs, I know how to properly care for animals. I love all animals, and there’s nothing I like more, than knowing that your pets are safe and being taken care of while you’re away. I would give your pets the same care, love and affection that I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets. I currently work part time. So I have a very flexible schedule. Lots of time for checkins and walks. Does your pet like looks of potty breaks. No problem. I’m happy to let them out as much as needed. My home has a 6ft privacy fence. My yard is completely enclosed. I always monitor the dogs from the window or go out with them. I also have two very friendly pups.

About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

About: it's truly my pleasure to take care of fur babies for wonderful humans. I can't personally have pets right now, so it's so appreciated to be able to stop in & take care of someone else's. I love exploring & sitting for those who live near my home neighborhood in Detroit, as well as taking care of folks' pets in metro Detroit. I'd love to be your regular sitter -- let's get to know each other ! I'm a small business owner who creates her own schedule, so I'm flexible to your needs & love to take breaks in my day to stop & take care of your fur babies. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pet, with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog’s routine is there for a reason, and I stick to it. Feeding schedules, rest time, the way they like their walk to end, I pay attention to the details you share and follow through on them. Consistency is what keeps pets calm when their person isn’t home, and I take that seriously. I’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. No news isn’t always good news, I’d rather you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My own space is calm and pet-free, so when I’m with your dog, my full attention is on them. No competing animals or chaos, but a quiet, lowkey presence that lets anxious or sensitive dogs settle in comfortably. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays happy, and you stay informed. That’s the standard I hold myself to every visit.

About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life for almost 20 years, and caring for them is honestly one of my favorite things. I take their routine seriously: meals and meds on time, plenty of walks and playtime, and I'll catch it if something seems off and let you know right away. I'm easygoing, fun, and pretty much always up for whatever your pet is in the mood for, whether that's a long walk or a lazy couch day. Tell me all their weird little habits. I want to know them. You'll get updates and photos, and your pet gets someone who actually likes hanging out with them. I have a hybrid office work schedule, so I’m pretty flexible for drop ins and full time routines. My cat personally is an indoor/outdoor cat, so he gets the stimulation he needs when I’m not there. At my home or yours, I care for other animals how I care for my own— with love, responsibility, and deep care. It’s as simple as that.

About: I don’t rush trust or force interaction. I give them space and let them warm up naturally. I pay close attention to the small details that matter to them, like keeping their routine consistent, their litter box clean, and their environment calm and familiar. I treat every visit like it’s about the cat’s comfort first, not just completing tasks, so they stay relaxed and secure while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and attention to truly focus on the pets I care for. I enjoy being around animals and find it rewarding to help them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m dependable, responsive, and always make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they’re used to. I focus on safety, trust, and a calm environment where pets feel at home. I have a large house and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs space to play and relax securely. I work from home, so pets are never left alone for long and get steady attention throughout the day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Melvindale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Melvindale is $13 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 3,873 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Melvindale. 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 Melvindale. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Melvindale 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 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 Melvindale. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
