About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I’m currently a nursing student at Monroe County Community College, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and act just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I care for every pet like they’re my own, keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routine. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to follow any special instructions or needs your pet may have. 🐾❤️ My student nurse experience helps with passing meds, giving injections, and everything in between for pets that’s need a little extra care!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have aa 5 year old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. My days are open to help you with your pet care needs! May days are wide open to help you with your pet care needs! I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.
“Phoebe is great! She took our Luka (1 year old dog) on walks during the time we were working and he loved it. We are so thankful! Hopefully we get to work with Phoebe more in the future!”
About: I have grown up with different dogs my whole life. I am the go-to house and dog sitter for my friends and family, known for being reliable, attentive and treating every home and pet like my own. I work M-F 8:30 to 4:30. I am able to let dogs out if needed during my break no problem. I am a morning person who will be able to make sure pets can stick to their routines and care for them as needed. I am available for morning, evening, and overnight care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I can stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so that they can feel comfortable while you're away. When staying in my clients home, I am extremely respectful of their space. I am a very clean and organized person who knows how to pick up after themselves. I'm also open to sending cute pics of your furry friends so you can have piece of mind.
About: Looking after your pet family is something I specialize in, I've had my own cats, dogs, and even fish since I was 12, and have experience with giving medication to the most stubborn of pets. Old or young, fur or scales, I'd love to give your pets the most comfortable experience :) Available for both weekdays, and weekends, so take those vacations without worry about leaving your pets behind! Can work with daily check-ins, or staying in house. Your pets will not have to stay in an unfamiliar environment while you are gone, this will cause them to be much less stressed about adapting to a strange place, and will make your furry friend the most comfortable!
“Cindy is the best!! I couldn’t possibly say enough good things!! She is so gentle and caring towards my Molly. I feel so good in the knowledge that Molly is in the safe, loving hands. And Molly adores her!”
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
About: Hey there! I’m Hannah - animal lover, and your pet’s next best friend. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe life is better with fur and paws! I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and even looked after dogs who are blind or deaf — every animal is unique, and I love them all. Right now, I have two cats who keep me on my toes (and my lap), and I’ve had dogs of all sizes and personalities over the years. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or belly rubs on repeat, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a recent college graduate & I own my own business so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for most holidays also, if not they will be blocked out! Creating a safe and fun environment while pet sitting is very important to me. I love being able to provide play time for cats or dogs while I am watching them. As well as cuddle time if they’re one that likes to curl up in your lap.

About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!
About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,875 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockwood. 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 Rockwood. 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 Rockwood 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 Rockwood. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
