“Heather is so attentive and caring. Timmy really loves her and I know she takes good care of him. He’s an old man with some health issues and she is so gentle and careful with him. She’s the best!!”
“Jennifer is a great person who cares for your dog just like they were her own dogs. She asked lots of questions to make sure all of our dogs need were met. We have a pretty hyper dog that needs a lot of time for long walks and Jennifer had no problems taking her for her needed long walks. She also gave lots of doggie snuggles and sent us pictures of our girl while they were out and about. Jennifer is very kind and loving toward our girl and we will most definitely use her any time we are away from home.”
“Beanie loves Kenzie! She is super reliable and on time even when it’s been days with crappy weather. Plus, she always gets the cutest, derpiest photo of Beanie for the walk card which makes me smile when I see it after their walk!”
“Our first visit. Rhys was immediately comfortable. Clare was on time and most pleasant. Our schedules done quite mesh yet however I hope we can work out something. Will definitely be calling again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs in 2017, when I was in fifth grade! Since then, I've become the trustworthy dog and house-sitter for my neighborhood, and have taken care of multiple households of pets at the same time! I also love to be active, and would love to take your pup on long (or short!) walks! I am home for summer for college, and have plenty of time to love on some dogs! I can walk dogs for ranging periods of time at any point during the day, and drop in at any time during the day! In clients home, I will make sure to keep pups in the approved areas, and give them lots of care during drop ins. I prefer to spend more time with the animals than less, and make sure they are loved on during the long days!!
About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.
“Taylor has been amazing to our 2 dogs! She always makes sure they're well taken care of and sends lots of pictures. Really appreciate the detailed updates from each walk!”
About: Hello! My name is Erin and as a pre-veterinary student, I am currently working as a veterinary assistant at a clinic to further expand my knowledge in veterinary medicine and animal care. I am currently available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends. If you are looking for late afternoon or evening visits, I am also available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after 6 PM. For my clients, I ensure thorough communication about how their fur babies are doing by providing updates throughout the day with cute pictures! I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for both their pets and them by establishing a safe and trustworthy setting.
“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University studying Kinesiology. I love staying active and have a passion for animals, so what better than combining the two together?! I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.
About: Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm on the board of a local dog rescue so I have a lot of experience with all breeds and personalities. I'm also the president of a foundation that gives scholarships to the families of pets with emergency veterinary medical bills that they can't afford. For several years I have been very involved in the Lansing area dog community. I'm extremely passionate about helping and taking care of animals. My own dogs are my whole world so I understand the worry of trusting someone else with your dog. I have made a career out of protecting dogs, saving them, and loving them as I love my own. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to help you with your own sweet babies. I also have a lot of experience with special needs dogs. I have my own and have taken care of many in our rescue. I look forward to meeting your super sweet fur kids!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4 years old, mainly my own until about age 11 when I started to help out taking care of family and friends dogs as well! I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, sit, and bathe their pets since then. I’m great with pets, and enjoy playing with them as well! I’m currently working a part time job that is very flexible. I typically work 8:30am-3pm Monday-Thursday, but I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pups needs. If your pup needs constant supervision I’m free Friday-Sunday for boarding! When I pet sit in my home it just depends on what the owner and pet is comfortable with. I’ll follow the instructions on how to care for their pet because each one if different. Each one will be cared for to my best ability!
About: I was raised with dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of breeds and ages. I was a dog-sitter while in grad school and really enjoyed getting to watch other people’s pets as well. I adopted a senior cat during COVID and have loved having my first ever cat. Since adopting her as a senior, I have gained experience giving her a variety of medications and dealing with different quirks and challenges. I love both cats and dogs, and would love the chance to get to know your pets! I understand how stressful it can be to entrust your beloved friend to someone else, but I am a very responsible person who would treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat mine. I am able to accommodate most schedules and have a lot of open availability during the week, as well as most weekends. I’m able to be flexible to meet the needs of you and your pets! I am unable to offer boarding services in my own home. When providing drop-in visits or other services in your home, I’m happy to be flexible! I am very trustworthy and am willing to help with other household tasks as needed, such as bringing in mail or packages.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
The weather was, well, like Michigan weather! We had to keep rearranging the time to avoid rain, and Zach was so accommodating! I asked Zach to do some very difficult/advanced dog behavior tasks involving walking 2 dogs together, one of them in heat, the other one reactive. (I took one of the dogs, he took the other.) He was very open to feedback as the walk unfolded. He even said Ari (the reactive dog that I find so difficult!) was a "good dog"! WOW!! Will definitely use Zach again!!
Leah was amazing! Took beanie’s walks on short notice even though it was an evening walk, which I’m so thankful for! She has great communication - her reports were so detailed and her pictures of Beanie were so cute. When I came home a few hours later, he was still tired so they clearly made the most of his 30 minute walk 🐶 We will definitely re-book with Leah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Okemos on Rover is $16.65 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 Okemos. 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 Okemos.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Okemos. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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 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.
