About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!

She actually exercises them, just as they need! She helps me out more than I think she realizes. I am a very grateful dog mom. ❤️”


About: We have taken care of many dogs before in our fenced backyard in Sylvania Township. We are home full time 5 days a week and love to spoil our doggies. Days that we are at work, our doggies are let out during the day and played with. We are great with our 4 legged friends, love to walk them and are not afraid of dog hairs on our couch. We have two Golden's, a cat who is very social and one daughter. We send pictures daily! My husband and I both work full time, however my husband is in office only two days. Every other day, we are always home. The days that we both are at work, I come home to let our dogs out and play. We also have cameras in our homes where we check in on our dogs when watching others. We have two loving and playful doggies in our home. We also have one cat who is very comfortable around dogs. Our backyard is fenced and we live in a safe neighborhood.

I give my fur babies plenty of attention on the daily. Their needs come first! They will always have a full bowl for food and water and be groomed as needed!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond caring for my own dogs—I have also helped care for family members’ pets by walking them, giving baths, administering medications, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet happy and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll provide the attention and care they deserve. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the week. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, lots of playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have dogs of my own and i’m very familiar with it all. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I care for every dog the same way I care for my own by creating a safe, supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I make sure any potential choking hazards or items that shouldn’t be chewed, swallowed, or played with are kept out of reach, and I never leave pets alone for extended periods of time. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and surroundings so they can enjoy plenty of play, love, and care while staying safe every step of the way. Along with walking, making sure they are kept hydrated and cool especially in these summer months where it can be dangerous.
About: Having grown up with pets my whole life, I am not unaware of how much your pets mean to you. I strive to give the greatest of care to each pet I care for. Having experience with numerous dog breeds and personalities, I am confident that I can provide wonderful care to your pups :) I am a currently a student so my schedule can be a lot, but I am always organized and am great at time management. I have really open availability in the evenings as well as all day during the weekends. Safety for your pets is my number one priority. I am confident with leashes and collars, as well as safe walking etiquette around other community members and their pets.
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
About: I've always had dogs and cats in my life. I love spending time with animals. Being someone that can be relied on is one of my strengths.

“John’Asia is the best walker i’ve had yet! She is extremely professional, thorough, and treats Toby so well! She is a great communicator and updates me about Toby frequently. I couldn’t ask for a better dog Auntie to Toby! Thank you John’Asia, you are wonderful!”
“Jessica was a wonderful, professional and extremely caring sitter / walker for my dog Leo. She was extremely thoughtful and made sure he was walked, fed and cared far exactly as I wished, and I am so thankful she took such good care of him while I was gone. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time with a sitter and she alleviated all of my concerns and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much Jessica! Leo had a wonderful time with you. Looking forward to having you come back and walk Leo again!”

I’m genuinely impressed/surprised with how long Sydney is able to take my dog on a walk in just 30 minutes. It’s awesome and I know my dog loves it. She’s kind, flexible, reliable, and I can tell she truly cares for pets because she updates me on any potential concerns regarding my dog’s health or any highlights after her visit. The best!!

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 Ottawa Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
