About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)

About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.

Very pleasant and accommodating. I had her over to my parents home where my dog was staying to walk my pup on relatively short notice. My parents dogs as well as mine all obviously took a shine to her, she sent me photos of the dogs, and was over every day she said she would be and walked for at least 30 min. Definitely someone I would recommend!

About: I have owned dogs my entire adult life, usually two at a time. Whether your dogs like to play, be chased, fetch, go on walks or just chill and be pet or brushed I’m happy to do any of the above. My dogs Rebel and Eve particularly love being chased from the front yard to the back yard and around the patio table, going for walks, and being combed and brushed outside on the deck especially on a nice sunny day. I am currently a graduate student getting my Master of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education. I take classes two days a week over the summer. I am a very trustworthy person. I have worked in the local community at my childrens’ former elementary school for 10 years and prior to that, I volunteered at the school. During the school year, I substitute teach in the Romeo and Rochester School Districts and go to Oakland University where I am earning my Master’s degree in Elementary Education. While in your house I will respect your privacy and only enter areas specifically agreed upon between us and be sure to clean up any incidental messes that your pet may make, check and double-check to ensure that your pets are safe and secure in any kennels or cages (if used) and the doors are locked. Basically, I will treat your home as I would my own…and I am a very neat and organized person. 🙂

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!

About: I am a true animal lover! I’ve had pets since I was little that I’ve helped take care of and have looked after pets for my family and friends. Having pets of my own that I love and care deeply for gives me a deeper understanding when it comes to someone else’s. Walks, play time, potty breaks or time spent loving on your furry friend is my helping goal. I have an open and flexible schedule, can care for your pets while away at work. Walks to tire them out, outdoor potty breaks, or playtime inside / out to ensure they aren’t bored or restless while you’re away. I’m open to walking any size dog however long needed and ensuring they’re properly cared for after the fact. I’m comfortable leashing and harnessing, as well as recognizing when a dog is ready to relax.

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: A college student looking to use my love for animals to help others. 4+ years of animal care, 2 years volunteering at Humane Society of Macomb, and a go-to for watching family pets. Flexible, caring, and detail-oriented. In my hands, your furry friend is guaranteed to be spoiled with love. I have class from 10-11:45 Mon-Wens and 2-3:25pm Tues-Thurs. And typically work retail Mon, wens, sat, sun. I always have Fridays off. And I’m completely free before class or in between work. My schedule is put out weeks in advance so I’m able to communicate what hours I’m available and not. I don’t offer at-home boarding since I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll tidy up after myself, stick to their routine, and make sure they’re having fun whilst still maintaining a happy, and safe, environment.

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand how important routine, safety, and attention are, and I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, active, and stress-free. I’m reliable, responsive, and available for same-day bookings when needed. You can expect clear communication and updates every visit. I limit how many clients I take so each pet gets focused, consistent care. I run my pet care like a professional service, not a side gig. Visits are scheduled in dedicated time blocks so your pet is cared for on time every time. I limit how many clients I take to ensure focused and consistent attention, not rushed visits.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shelby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Shelby on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shelby. 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 Shelby. 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 Shelby.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Shelby. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
