“Kristy was super easy to work with and took lots of pictures on her walk with Beanie! She was available to book the walk last minute (booked the day before) which was amazing and so helpful. Will definitely book with her again in the future!!”
“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.”
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.
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.
“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: 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.
About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking any credits during the summer. I do work part-time but I’m back by the late afternoon . I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! My roommate has a chihuahua that is either kept within a pen or in her room so there will not be any interactions between the pets.
About: 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊 I just graduated form UofM and looking to gain some more experience working with animals this summer! I had 2 small/medium dogs growing up, where I played a very active role in caring for them. I have experience fostering a kitten (4-9 months) and cat sitting for friends on weekends. I'm comfortable reading an animal's body language, adhering to whatever feeding/bathroom schedule your pet is used to, and actively playing both indoors and outdoors (dogs + outdoor cats). I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ I am taking one asynchronous class this summer, so my schedule is quite flexible! I will ensure my calendar reflects days when I will be in town and able to commit my time to your pet! I am able to check on your friend multiple times per day if needed. I am very patient when meeting new animals and I have experience meeting and caring for shy animals. I have no doubt that I will be able to build trust with your animal in order to care for them properly! I am able to put animals in crates and carriers as needed. As a foster parent, I am experienced in noticing signs of distress, discomfort, and medical emergency and can respond promptly and appropriately. I take care in ensuring that your home is left the way I found it (or better!), so I would be excited to take the time to clean up any "accidents" and put toys away before I leave your home!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have loved every minute of it! From tiny pups to big, lovable dogs, I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just relaxing with a buddy, I’m happy to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’ll care for your furry family member like they’re one of my own and make sure they have a tail-wagging good time while you’re away! Im a freshly Okemos High School graduate and I’m currently working part-time. I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! I’m available for walks or if they just need some love through the week! Keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority. I always make sure my furry friends anre always comfortable and safe, and they have everything that they need. Whether it’s fresh water, meals, exercise, playtime, or a cozy place to relax, I pay close attention to every dog’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. I got my first dog at age 5. I watch my neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I do not work specific days or times, but usually work mornings, getting out around 2/3pm Unfortunately I cannot have animals at my college house per the leasing agreement. However, I will be able to come over and take care of your fur babies in their own environment.
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 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: 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.
“Brittany is amazing! I work from home and cannot find the time to give my dogs proper exercise, we all look forward to her visits! She is great with my rambunctious 4 legged friends. Thank you Brittany for taking time out of your day for them! If you decided to go with Rover - "pick her" - if your in this area you will not be disappointed!”

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

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 .
As of August 2026, there are 806 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Okemos. 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 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.

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.
