“Tyler was very responsive during the booking process. He arrived on time both days to pick up our dog for walks and returned when expected. All in all a great experience.”
“Kira has been so fantastic with Doug, The Cooper, and Moshi. We could not be more pleased. She uses the Rover app to let us know when she arrives, how long Doug is on his walk, his “action” and the photos are priceless. We will continue to use her as long as possible. A+”
“I can't recommend Ashley enough as a dog walker! She has been walking my golden retriever, Molly, regularly for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Ashley is incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me peace of mind during my busy days. Not only is she friendly and approachable, but her genuine love for dogs truly shines through in her interactions with Molly. It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure Molly is happy and well-cared for during their walks. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy and has a real passion for dogs, look no further than Ashley! She’s fantastic, and I’m so grateful to have her!”
“Emily was so wonderful! She was extremely responsive when I contacted her and came over immediately to meet our precious Ezra! She arrived promptly and sent me reports and pictures of her visit. I would highly recommend Emily! I will be using her again for sure!!! Thank you Emily, you made my time away stress free!!”
“Very professional! She always arrived on time, gave them good long walks, took pics of their walks, she was even kind to let me know about their bowel movements and health state when applicable, both doggies always returned happy and exercised and looked like they both enjoyed a lot their walks with Gabriela. Highly recommend her a lot!!”
About: I currently own an pit lab mix and her name is Stella and I have had her for a few years. She is the best especially around people and I love taking her to new places. I love being around dogs, any breed or size . I Love taking walks and enjoying the outdoors. I like to explore new areas and it’s always nice to have a friend while doing it. If you have a high energy dog I would love to play with them, but also dogs that just like to chill and cuddle I enjoy as well. I can walk your dog on weekends and during the evening during the week, mid day as well. I would love to become a dog walker or sitter to get to know more about other breeds and to get to know my area I do have another full time job, but I am willing to accommodate to your pets needs. We can discuss this further when booking. I am able to have decently flexible schedule. I will listen to the needs of the client. I will make sure that their pet is well loved and cared for while I am watching them.
“Erin is so good with our Goldendoodle Toby. He’s very energetic, and Erin takes the walks in stride, letting Toby get all that energy out. Would highly recommend Erin for your dog walking needs!”
About: 🐾 My own dog, Donut, is an anxious and weird girl just entering her senior years, so I'm no stranger to the fact that all dogs are different, with their own unique idiosyncrasies and needs. I love them all anyway! I've also cared for several other dogs, including senior dogs and those with special medical needs. 🐈 My cats are 15 years old now, and take daily medication, and I've cared for several other cats, some with special needs. I know cats can be shy and skittish, so I'm happy to play the long game to get your buddy to trust me! 🦎🐹🐠 I have experience with fish, geckos, frogs, snakes, hamsters, and guinea pigs! Doesn't matter to me if it's scaly, slimy, or swimmy - it's a friend of mine :) I'm a part-time barista and ceramic artist, so my schedule can be quite flexible, and I enjoy having something to get me out and about, as otherwise I tend to be a homebody! I have my own pets, and I'll always treat your animals and your home the way I want mine treated. I'm respectful, but comfortable in new environments. Maintaining routine and environment for your pet is my #1 priority.
“Scott is doing such a great job taking care of my little 3 month old Boston Terrier pup! Im so thankful to know he's being cared for during my work hours and getting updates and pictures during the day is really helpful gives me such a peace of mind! Thanks Scott!”
“Shelby was fantastic. She walked my dog four days in a row while I was working. My dog liked her from the moment they met and she did a great job! I will be asking her to walk my dog again soon.”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
“So happy to have found the Rover app, and Emily Z! I normally work from home most days, so when I went on vacation I worried about my dog being cooped up all day while the rest of the family was at work/school. This was perfect to get her some exercise and a bathroom break! Emily was prompt and professional with all communication. I enjoyed the “report card” after each walk. I hope to use the service again soon and would definitely recommend Emily to anyone!”
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.
“Frankie (9 month Pitbull) has recently started going on weekly walks with Kristina and he is a big fan! I love watching how excited he gets to see her. She is very trustworthy, sweet, attentive, and so much fun. Frankie is a big ball of energy and a mischief maker but Kristina does so well with him. Frankie and I highly recommend her :)”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ animals since I was nine years old. I often take care of their dogs for several days at a time while they’re away. I love taking care of animals and making them feel safe and cared for, despite their parents not being home. I have work 8-5 every weekday, but I can pet-sit afterwards and stop by during my lunch break! My weekends are completely free, so I can spend the whole day with your pet if they have more frequent needs. I have had experience from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has differing needs, so I will do my best to accommodate to everything that will make your pet feel safe.
About: I have lots of experience over the last 15 years of pet-sitting in other's homes and boarding family members' pets, as well as going for walks and doing pop-ins Currently changing careers from teaching to real estate, so I have lots of time available over the summer! I can easily to pop-ins and walks while out and about. Whatever you say goes! I am happy to accommodate the needs of your fur babies and will do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're not around
About: Specialize in small dog boarding, and drop in visits for dogs of all sizes! Currently I have a loving 7lbs bichon mix. Previously I have had 1 australian shepard and 3 cats. I have worked with animal shelters-mainly dog and also cat rescue. I can also help with basic obedience training and leash walking. Would love to help take care of your fur baby! Work part time/remotely. I have a fenced in patio area for bathroom relief and take dogs on walks in nearby parks to explore new places. My Bichon mix doesn’t respond to any harsh tones. Therefore happy voices, positive reinforcement, patience and love was what got us on the same page. Would love to care for other animals the same way.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester Hills
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rochester Hills on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,515 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rochester Hills.

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 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.
