“So I reached out to Lillian & Jeremy last minute and they got back to me expeditiously and we’re willing to accommodate my last minute booking for weekly dog walking! They have been incredibly accommodating, kind, and helpful throughout our experience. When Sandy’s feet became irritated and she needed some extra care, they immediately reassured me that they would be happy to help and provide any additional care she needed. That level of compassion and willingness to go above and beyond really meant a lot to me. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients and want to make sure everyone is comfortable and well taken care of. I truly appreciate their kindness, understanding, and exceptional customer service. Highly recommend!”

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 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!

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: From a very young age, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. When I was eight years old, I started small home-placement program for pets abandoned along rural roads, making sure they found safe, loving homes. With the help of a local veterinarian, I also cared for injured wildlife-nursing animals hit by cars to health and raising many of their orphaned babies. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with a wide range of species and taught me how to read body language, build trust and stay calm in any situation. Many of the local farmers trusted me to take care of their livestock and four-legged family members while they went on vacation. Over the years I have continued my skills through veterinary medicine studies, reiki, pet massage therapy and a deep interest in natural, holistic care. These experiences shaped me into a patient, intuitive, and knowledgeable caregiver who understands animals on a deeper level and treats every pet with respect, gentleness and consistency. II currently work part‑time on weekdays and am free every day after 1 p.m., as well as fully available on weekends. I’m happy to walk, play with, and feed your pets, and I’m comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather as long as your pet is, too. I don’t mind helping with cleanup—whether that’s backyard potty messes, litter boxes, or small‑animal cages—so your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, playtime, medications, and comfort habits—so their day feels predictable and stress‑free. I take time to learn their cues, respect their boundaries, and match their energy, whether they need quiet companionship or active engagement. I keep your home environment clean and safe by refreshing water, tidying feeding areas, cleaning litter boxes or small‑animal cages, and wiping up any potty messes in the yard. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and that your pet has everything they need before I leave. My goal is to maintain the same level of care, calm, and attention they’re used to when you’re home.

I have reliable transportation and a very flexible schedule, especially during the day. I can't wait to meet, play with, and care for your pets! I am a musician so my obligations are usually in the evenings and on weekends, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to check on pets before or after gigs and practices. My day time availability is extremely flexible! I have a big back yard with privacy fencing and a very quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in.

About: Hi! My name is Kandra! I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life! My family has always had cats and dogs at all stages of their life and in various health conditions, so I've seen it all. More recently I've had experience puppy sitting for my brother and dog sitting for my sister on a number of occasions. I understand the love that you have for your furry companions and will treat them with the same love and care. I just moved to Toledo to be closer to family! I'm hoping to dog walk part-time during weekdays. I can do early mornings (starting at 7:30am), lunch breaks, and afternoons. I offer 30 minute walks, up to 1 hour long walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks. Also 30 minute drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, and play time while you are away or at work! I really value making sure you and your dog are as comfortable as possible. I'm more than happy to adhere to any specifications, adjustments, and needs for your pet specifically to make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed under my care!

“We were a little uneasy about our first time letting someone else take care of our dog, but Teagan has been great with Teemu! She can sometimes be a handful to walk but she seems to be much more well behaved with Teagan. Teagan is very communicative and flexible, she’s been very easy to work with too. We’re very grateful to have found someone who is so great with our dog, she’s made the whole thing very easy! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I was an in home pet-sitter in college (1999-2003) where I would take care of their dogs, cats, and home while they were away. Honestly, it was the best job I've ever had! In addition, I have been a dog trainer since 1992. Training my own dogs is a passion I enjoy sharing through teaching in classes. Also, I worked in a few vet clinics over 18 years where I was a receptionist and veterinary assistant. Currently, I have a 15 year old papillon, 2 year old Brittnay, and 2 year old cat. These guys are my pride and joy, just like the other pets I've had since I was young!! Currently, I do work full to part time, but willing to adjust my schedule to fit your needs. My schedule is very flexible in the afternoon, evenings and weekends. In my home, the cat has free reign of the house. The dogs are crated when we are not able to be home and at night. My previous dogs may have had full reign, but right now my senior and young dogs cannot be trusted. When I visit someone's home, it is my priority to take care of your pet like you would if you were home!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ottawa Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ottawa Hills is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ottawa Hills. 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 Ottawa Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ottawa Hills after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ottawa Hills. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
