Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?

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.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’, friends’, and even strangers’ pets! I’m very communicative with owners and strive to make sure owners know their fur babies are in trust worthy hands! I work nightshift full time but on my days off I have plenty of time to care for your pets whether that be a drop in, a walk, some play time, an overnight stay, or anything in between! Depending on what your pet needs I am happy to oblige. I’ve worked with pets who free roam in the house or need to be caged!

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!

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 grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens and a lamb. I have had 5 dogs in my adult life (a Chocolate Lab, 3 Great Danes and a Future Leader Dog for the Blind) and I have had 2 cats. I live in Eastown and although I don't have a fenced in yard, I used to walk my pups 4 times a day. We walk...a lot. If you are ok with me not having a fenced in yard (but taking your pup for multiple walks a day), my house would be a great place to stay. Or, if you are just looking for someone to walk your dog or drop in on your pet on the weekend, I can do that too! I am looking forward to meeting you and your furbaby! I work in the office M, W and Thurs but I am home on Tuesdays and Fridays and available evenings and weekends. If you pup is approved, it can also go to the office with me. I have a comfortable dog friendly home in Eastown. I have crates and can crate your dog if you would like but also have dog beds if they prefer that.

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 ?

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.

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!

About: Having been surrounded by animals for the majority of my youth, I was gifted with a passion for creatures of all kinds. Early on, I was tasked with petsitting for family members. I have now started pet sitting for family friends, colleagues, and others. I am looking to expand my reach, looking for more opportunities to give my time to this passion. I am a college student studying Biology at GRCC. I have weekends and Fridays off. When I am not at school, my schedule is pretty flexible. After class, I have quite a bit of time, perfect for dog walks, check ins, or anything your pet may need! When house sitting, I do not mind staying over on weekdays. I will still have school, most classes being 3 hours long, with the exception of my Tuesday class which is 6hrs. If you have questions on when my classes get out, what my schedule may look like, or any thing else, please feel free to reach out! Safety and communication is number one for me. I have always made sure to keep a good connection with any pet owners I may be sitting/walking for. I have a good understanding on how an animal may react in stressful situations and how to de-escalate a situation. A pet’s safety and health is incredibly important to understand when working with animals.

Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s always on time, incredibly friendly, and clearly loves spending time with him. I really appreciate the care and attention she gives—she doesn’t just rush through the walks but truly engages with my dog. One day when it was raining and he didn’t want to go outside, Sydney stayed and played with him indoors instead, which meant a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

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.
