My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.

This was our initial walk for introduction and it could not have gone better. Cooper can be a bit reactive and that did not phase Daniel one bit! At one point Daniel bent over to tie his shoe and Cooper went in for a smooch opportunity! I am thrilled!!!!! The boys are thrilled! Daniel is terrific, kind and patient. Welcome aboard to our pack ?

Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!

I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!

About: I have more than 10 years experience working at dog daycares, grooming, and sitting/walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am comfortable with administering medication both orally and injections. I've I am always trying to educate myself and others about reading dog behaviors and the best ways to react to situations. I am an artist by trade so my work hours are very flexible. If I'm sitting in your home, I will stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to give them a sense or normalcy and comfort. My more than 10 years of experience have prepared me for almost any situation. I am a big proponent of safety first especially when it comes to your pets interacting with other animals, escape artists, and counter surfers getting into harmful things.

About: Taking care of others has always been a passion of mine. Growing up as the oldest of four, I would watch younger siblings and our two cats and lab while my parents were away. As I got older, I started to take on more responsibility as a nanny, house sitter, and pet sitter. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, kittens, big dogs and little dogs, fish, and rodents. My responsibilities have ranged from over night care to occasional dog walks. When the time came for me to decide what career to pursue, I considered my love for taking care of others and animals - this is the reason I decided to become a teacher. With that being said, I need a summer gig that allows me to keep doing what I love! Thank you for considering me as your next house and pet sitter. As a teacher, I have summers off, so my schedule is relatively open outside of a bi weekly nannying gig, monthly cleaning job, and some vacations. Due to the flexibility of my schedule, I am available for overnight care, check ins with your pets every couple hours, or dog walks. Unfortunately, I am renting a home that does not allow pets, so I am unable to take animals back to my apartment place. With that being said, I will be visiting your home. I am a very cleanly, attentive, and communicative person! I assure you, your place will be cleaner than when you left it, and your animal will be happy and healthy.

Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.

About: I've never gone a day without a dog to care for, and developed a knack for training at a young age. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I've also gladly supported neighbors and friends with theirs. I love animals of all kinds, and will work hard to ensure that yours receive heart-felt care and attention that will leave them feeling happy and comfortable. I'm a student, currently available for the summer to care for your pups, so I have plenty of time to play fetch, go for walks and give them lots of belly scratches. Available for check-ins, sitting and walks morning, afternoon and early evening. I will make sure to care for your pets according to their needs, recognizing that daily routines and habits are essential to ensuring that they're comfortable and at ease. Regular communication is also key, and I will be sure to keep you posted on how they're doing while you're away! Rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure that your pets are well taken care of, just as I do my own.

About: I’ve always been good with animals, from dogs to snakes, and I plan on making it my full time career. I’ve been called a “dog whisperer” before and grew up with more animal friends than human ones. As a certified dog trainer, I understand the ins and outs of canine behavior and body language, so I can get along with and manage dogs with a wide variety of quirks and personalities. My interest in training was spurred after adopting a pit mix. Knowing the breed’s reputation and temperament, it was important for her to be as trained as possible. My abilities only improved after purchasing my deaf dog, Blixen, who proved to be an engaging challenge! Nowadays I can take both of them off leash anywhere with complete confidence. As a cat person, I also love spending time with feline friends! With three cats at home, and growing up with a cat almost always in the house, how could I not? In the past I have also had mice, gerbils, and rats, so there’s no animal I’m uncomfortable with. This is my career, so as of today I essentially always have room in my schedule to provide top-notch services for anyone who needs them. Hello! I know how important your pets are to you and while they’re with me I treat them like they're my own. Fun is my top priority, so I always make sure to provide plenty of playtime and exercise for your pets. (All dogs shown off leash have good recall and/or are in fenced in areas, I have several long leashes for fun walks in the woods or playtime in the yard). I am experienced in providing care for all types of pets and I am confident that I can provide the best care for your furry friends. <I’m also a certified dog trainer, so rest assured that your dog won’t be forgetting all their skills while they blow off some steam. If you have any training related questions I would be thrilled to help you!>

Sophia was so great with my 63lb Goldendoodle for multiple days of walks. He can be a strong puller on walks, and can get anxious in the neighborhood, especially in Fireworks season. Sophia was so great with him, gaining his trust and adjusting to his needs each walk. She was timely, remembered instructions, and things unique to my dog. We look forward to having her again.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Ottawa Hills dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Ottawa Hills.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
