About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I would love to make life easier for busy people. I am incredibly reliable, punctual, and experienced with dogs of all sizes. Whether your pup needs an energetic midday walk, a quick backyard potty break, or feeding and fresh water, I treat every pet with the exact same love and attention I give my own! With my kids in school and working part-time, I am available until 1:00 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I can also do Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:00 PM! I have a sweet 9-year-old Boston Terrier who loves other dogs. For outside time, we use a secure tie-out ground leash under direct supervision. I always closely monitor all pets, keep my home completely dog-proofed, and prioritize keeping your pup happy and safe.

“I hesitate to sing Shelby’s praises for fear she won’t have available walk times for my sweet boy! Let’s just start by saying my guy barks at unknowns loudly and often when he out on the lead. I heard him barking, went to check and there he was quiet and attentive with Shelby talking to him as she arrived for the appointment. I can tell this woman LOVES animals. Their walk was great, he was tired and I am convinced I have found his new dog walker! Great job, Shelby!! Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.

I know the importance of maintaining routine, identifying any triggers they might have, and being alert for any situation. I have a dog of my own, and through training him. i have learned a lot more then i knew before. But of course , you never truly stop learning. I'm excited to get to know each and every pet that i get the chance to meet. I work part time. I'm available 6 am to 10:30 am all days. Weekdays it varies. Some days I'm free until 4 pm. Other days I'm free 5pm till 10 pm. That is why i need a day in advance to know. I live alone with my dog, Zeus. he is super friendly with all dogs but i also have an extra bed room that is not used. whatever it is that you need me to do, i will do it.

About: Hi!😊 I’m a Rochester Hills pet caregiver with 12 years of hands-on experience (off & on Rover combined!) caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities and routines. Prior to finishing my degree at Oakland University and entering the corporate world, I was a full time nanny/pet sitter so caregiving is truly in my DNA and something I truly love and am passionate about! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, attentive and big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to slower-paced senior care, feeding routines, medications and lots of companionship. I also understand that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and cuddles, while others need a little time and space to warm up. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and tailor their care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I offer dog walking, drop-ins and at your house sitting for cats & dogs, as well as 1:1 house sitting in my home for one small-medium dog (40lbs & under) with me doing both pickup and drop off. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions- I look forward to connecting with you!🙂 I was recently laid off and I’m pursuing caregiving full time, so my schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day for walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I can tailor my availability around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime and companionship. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the routines and instructions you provide as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks and any household guidelines. I’m careful with doors, leashes and surroundings, and I pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite or energy. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being well cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life whether it’s my family dogs, volunteering at the pound, or watching friends dogs. My wife and I love dogs, but aren’t ready for our own yet. I am a corporate pilot with a lot of time at home, so I am trying to fill that time with something I love! I am a corporate pilot that averages 10 days worked per month, so I have 2/3s of the month at home. The days worked vary what days of the week, but I am looking to fill my time with something I love. I am very patient with animals. I don’t treat them like a pet. If Im watching them at my apartment, innovation hills park is next to me for walking. There is an enclosed dog park to let them run and even a dog bath station if they get dirty. If I am watching at your home I will be respectful to your home and rules that you provide. I’m an avid walker, so walks aren’t a problem. I would never take a dog on a walk in the summer without bringing water for them.

About: From anxiety-ridden dogs to rough-playing kittens, I am the person to care for your pet! My approach is to understand your pet's personality, then strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I am a recent college graduate and doing freelance work from home. This gives me so much flexible time to care for your pet, weekday or weekend! I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I treat my clients' homes like my own. I am patient and understanding, making sure every pet I watch feels safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets are missed while the owner's gone, so communicating with you, the pet owner, is a priority.

About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.

Ashley has been wonderful with Bodhi. I really appreciate how reliable, caring, and attentive she is during her visits. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that Bodhi is getting some companionship, attention, and a good walk while I’m away. I feel completely comfortable having Ashley care for her, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my precious fur baby. I would absolutely recommend her.

Wow! I am seriously impressed with Hannah. She jived well with my dog Xander, has been just a hero in a situation where I desperately needed someone to watch Xander while I took his sister to puppy class. She was on time and had no problem with the full hour. I picked up a very contented Xander. I would highly recommend!

Rebecca really helped calm my dog mom nerves. We are a travel baseball family and are gone all day long most weekends, and I hate leaving my dog for so long. She came by and took my dog for a walk, fed him, and played with him. She was super flexible with my unknown schedule and times, and so easy to communicate with. I could tell I made a good choice within just a few minutes of meeting her! I’ve definitely found someone who I trust to come take care of my boy while I’m out!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rochester Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rochester Hills on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $35 per walk. 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 3,466 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rochester 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 Rochester 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 a map of the walking route , 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 Rochester 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 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 Rochester Hills. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
