“Jessica was so great with Binny—even when he kept laying down not wanting to leave the house (lol). The next walk, she showed up with string cheese to sway him. The best!”
“Lonie came to walk my dog Jasper and did such a great job! She spent extra time playing with him in the backyard to help him get his zoomies out, which he absolutely loved. It’s clear she really cares about dogs and enjoys spending time with them. Jasper was happy and calm afterward — thank you, Lonie! Sincerely, Rebecca Freeman”
About: I currently have a senior dog and a cat so I’ve had a broad range of experience with different ages of pets. I’m accustomed to giving animals medications as well as catering to an animals needs such as diet or activity level. I love all pets equally so whatever they need, I’ll give them! I currently work part time while I am finishing school. I am free during the week on Wednesday and Friday as well as weekends for walks or during the day check ins. I treat a pet as another person that I live with. I am always looking out for their needs and want to make their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s going on a walk or simply being a person to share the room with, I want your pets to have the best time possible.
“Kelly is the best! I work very long hours and I feel like my dog is taken care of so well. My dog seems happy and not anxious at all when I come home at night. I can tell how much Kelly loves dogs and that makes all the difference :)”
“Camille is hands down the best and most loving dog sitter/walker. Being the first time we left our 1-year-old puppy, Dreamer, we were a little anxious, but the moment we met Camille all of our fears disappeared. Our Goldendoodle absolutely adored her and was calm and happy when we returned home. At the mention of her name even a day later, he gets so excited and runs for the door as if she’s visiting! Camille sent us several photos of Dreamer to reassure and update us that he was doing well. She is reliable, incredibly attentive, honest ,and kind. If you want a fur baby walker who will treat your dog like their own family, hire Camille! ♥️😇”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover since I was a child. Have experience pet sitting, dog walking through walker apps, as well as experience training my own dogs! I’m currently living a remote lifestyle so I will be home with your pet for most hours of the day! Plenty of time for attention and walks! I always make sure to leash your pets before ever leaving my house. I live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of areas for walks.
“Samantha takes such good care of our dog. She is very reliable, professional and caring. We know Maggie is in good hands during the bookings. We cannot recommend Samantha enough!”

I am very hands on if that’s what your baby needs (and can be hands off if they’re more reserved). I am very hands on if that’s what your baby needs (and can be hands off if they’re more reserved). Having a parent away can be so stressful for a pet, so making sure they know they are cared for is my top priority!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and would be honored to care for your furry family member. I had my beloved Toy Poodle, Chopin, from the time he was just 3 months old until he passed away this past July at the age of 16. He was such a huge part of my life, and I miss him dearly every day. As Chopin got older, he developed various health issues and needed medications and extra care. I became very comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to changes in his health, comfort, and behavior. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me how important patience, gentleness, and individualized care are. I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with dogs again. I would be so happy to meet your pup, get to know their personality and routine, and care for them with the same love and attention I gave my own dog. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. I’d love to say hi and hopefully become a trusted friend to your dog! 🐾❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m generally available in the mornings and early afternoons, and I’m happy to work with your schedule when possible. I’m typically not available after 3:00 PM. I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I’ll make sure your dog is supervised and in a safe environment at all times.
About: I will love your pet like it is my own! I am extremely experienced in taking care of animals. I love animals and I have taken care of my neighbor’s dogs since I was 10. I was in charge of feeding, taking out, walking, playing with, and training the dogs. I also took care of their senior dog, helping with diapers and massages. I have done overnight sitting and dog walking for many different families throughout the past 14 years. I love animals more than anything and will make sure they are not only safe and cared for, but also loved. I work remotely, and can take care of your pet whenever is needed. I love to take walks throughout the day and take breaks hanging out with your pet :) I will make sure all of your pets needs are met. I can feed them, make sure they have water, give them pets, play with them, go on a walk with your pet, or even go on a run with them! I can help with whatever the needs are.
“Caroline has been absolutely amazing as our dog walker. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares so much about the dogs she works with. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in great hands with her. She’s attentive to details, keeps me updated, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy and well taken care of. You can tell she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet.”
“Jess is hands down one of the most amazing people I've ever met. What started off as one dog walking session has evolved into years of regular daycare and boarding. She's extremely flexible and accommodating. She puts so much care and attention into all of the dogs she watches, attending to their individual needs and going above and beyond to ensure they're comfortable. My dog is thrilled every time he's dropped off and has bonded with Jess's dogs as well as the other daycare regulars. I rest easy whenever we go out of town knowing she's watching our pup. Extremely recommended!”
About: I have 15+ years experience caring for dogs of all sizes with various behavioral or medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medication as well as providing basic care such as walking and feeding. I have my own high anxiety Pit Mix who I adopted and have used multiple sitters on Rover, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. I am happy to send photos and updates galore for your peace of mind! I work a hybrid job and have ample time outside of work that I could dedicate to whatever your dog needs ranging from a run to playing fetch to spending some time being petted. I firmly believe that pets are family members and should be treated with the utmost care and loved unconditionally. I’m open to any behavioral challenges but ask for transparency prior to booking for both my safety and to provide the best care to your dog. I often work from home so I’m free for morning and evening walks, playtime, feedings, and/or bathroom breaks. I can often make time mid-day as well. I know all dogs have unique needs and routines so I’m happy to do whatever your pup is used to is ensure maximum happiness while you’re away. I have a high anxiety pitbull so I understand some dogs are slower to warm up to a stranger. It doesn’t bother me, I just ask that you’re honest about any behavioral quirks so I can ensure your dog is safe and comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Oak
We had a great experience this weekend! She was friendly, helpful, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. She took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Jodi is a excellent dog walker and communicator. She provided full details about our dog's health and activity as well as photos. It is easy to tell how much she cares for the dogs she walks. I won't hesitate to use her again if I am lucky enough to be in the area again.
Jenna has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She is always punctual, reliable, and incredibly kind. From the very first meeting, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and my dog picked up on that instantly. Mia completely fell in love with her right away, which says everything. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my dog is with someone so caring, attentive, and trustworthy. Jenna goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Royal Oak is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 3,575 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Royal Oak. 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 Royal Oak. 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 Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
