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.

About: I have experience handling and caring for several different species including; dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, small mammals and even spiders! I have 2.5 years of professional animal care experience, working at a humane society. I am fear free certified and am knowledgeable about dogs and cats with anxiety, fear, reactivity and general behavioral concerns. I will love your animal like my own, treating them with respect, love and kindness like every animal deserves. I am currently exploring the idea of pet sitting and personal animal care as a full time job. My schedule is extremely flexible, with most days being open all day. I have a fenced yard for my own dog, he gets lots of outside time (but supervised when necessary!) when the weather allows, he's allowed on any bed and I love it that way. I am open to sharing a bed with anyone's pets if that's what they need or crating if it's more comfortable for them too!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I grew up with dogs of all breeds, from Doberman Pinschers to an American Pit Bull. Now I live with a beautiful cat named Tulipán. Available to care for your babies all weekend, I'm also have a flexible schedule so I can take care of them from Monday to Friday. I live in an apartment with a very well-behaved cat who is friendly with other cats and dogs. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, I can only accommodate cats or small dogs. We have plenty of green space and a park just 5 minutes away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home since birth, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. Currently, I share my home with a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and two dog-friendly cats who are all well-socialized and used to visiting pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’m always happy to arrange a video call or an in-person meet and greet beforehand — whatever helps give you peace of mind. Why pet parents choose me: • Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment with plenty of love and attention — not long hours outside unsupervised or crated unnecessarily. • I only board for one family at a time, which allows me to give your pet individualized care and attention while also limiting exposure to unfamiliar animals. • I work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely, if ever, be left alone. • As a Rover customer myself, I know how reassuring regular communication can be. I’m happy to send frequent photo updates and check-ins while you’re away. • I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-ins, you can count on me to be punctual and fully committed to your pet’s care. • I do not require crating for dogs who are not normally crated at home. I want your pet to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me — and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like family. I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means belly rubs, head scratches, cuddles, treats, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. And if your pet prefers their space or is more independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and comfort level. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!

About: Based in Belleville, MI - I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.

About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting dogs since I was 20, with experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherds, and Brittanys/Pit mixes. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs I have a busy work schedule, but I’m great at planning ahead and making time for the pets I care for. I build pet care into my daily routine so they get the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles they need. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible when it comes to sticking to your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in home, providing a secure space for pets to enjoy some fresh air and playtime. My home is also equipped with an alarm system and security cameras, adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Right now, I have two cats who are my baby boys, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and their routines. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities—from high-energy dogs to more independent or shy pets—and I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m very detail-oriented and reliable, especially when it comes to following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I make that a priority. I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me some flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and pet care. I have the most availability after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I’m also available for overnight stays in my clients’ homes, since I live in an apartment and am not offering boarding in my own home. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and routines. I always make sure doors are secure, pets have fresh water, and their space is clean and safe before I leave. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are doing well.

About: I have a Master’s degree in Biology and currently work in a management role, bringing reliability, organization, and strong communication skills to everything I do—including pet care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals throughout college and beyond. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered my time walking dogs at a local animal shelter and have supported animal welfare through holiday donation drives. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I genuinely value. I’m also an active runner currently training for a half marathon, so I’d be more than happy to take high-energy dogs out for runs or extra-long walks to help them burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. I’m using Rover as a way to give back while doing something I love. I’m fundraising for two meaningful causes as part of my upcoming runDisney half marathon at Disney World: Hope Story, which supports individuals with Down syndrome, and Experience Camps, which provides free camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling. I’m just $1195 away from my goal, and every booking helps me get closer while continuing to provide loving, dependable care for pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My son will be attending school this summer and I’m looking for additional ways to earn some extra money. I have a rescue pit-mix named Jetta who enjoys our acre and a half backyard. I am reliable and will show respect in client homes, if drop in visits are preferred.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Romulus on Rover is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $17 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 3,558 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Romulus. 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 Romulus. 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 Romulus 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 Romulus. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
