Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?

Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!

My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.

About: I have more than 10 years experience working at dog daycares, grooming, and sitting/walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am comfortable with administering medication both orally and injections. I've I am always trying to educate myself and others about reading dog behaviors and the best ways to react to situations. I am an artist by trade so my work hours are very flexible. If I'm sitting in your home, I will stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to give them a sense or normalcy and comfort. My more than 10 years of experience have prepared me for almost any situation. I am a big proponent of safety first especially when it comes to your pets interacting with other animals, escape artists, and counter surfers getting into harmful things.

Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.

I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!

About: Ive been around dogs my whole life, mostly Pitbulls so they have a soft spot in my heart. I currently attend Animal Behavior College, in their Dog Training program. I also recently got my Pet CPR certification I drop my daughter off at school by 9, and I am free until 7:30 in the afternoon, I can overnight sit on weekend, but Mon-Thu, I can only do daytime sitting. I cannot care for client's pets in my home as I live with others, and they have pets. However, caring for clients pets in their home I would have the utmost respect for their space, making sure the pet is happy, safe, engaged as well as inspecting for any inhome accidents. Some dogs that have high anxiety when left alone tend to get into things they shouldnt, when I arrive I will make sure there is no damage, the food and water is distributed to the clients specifications, do a outside potty break/walk, then inside to play for a little to get out any extra energy

About: I've never gone a day without a dog to care for, and developed a knack for training at a young age. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I've also gladly supported neighbors and friends with theirs. I love animals of all kinds, and will work hard to ensure that yours receive heart-felt care and attention that will leave them feeling happy and comfortable. I'm a student, currently available for the summer to care for your pups, so I have plenty of time to play fetch, go for walks and give them lots of belly scratches. Available for check-ins, sitting and walks morning, afternoon and early evening. I will make sure to care for your pets according to their needs, recognizing that daily routines and habits are essential to ensuring that they're comfortable and at ease. Regular communication is also key, and I will be sure to keep you posted on how they're doing while you're away! Rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure that your pets are well taken care of, just as I do my own.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since the day I was born. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and even ducks! These days I have a dog (3 years old) and a cat (11 years old). I had a second cat who passed in 2022 from illness, so I have experience caring for animals of all ages and health. I am reliable, patient and caring with animals and will treat your pets like my own! My schedule is flexible and I am able to travel in the Grand Rapids area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!! I work fully remote and have a very minimal meeting schedule Monday-Friday. My work is flexible so I am able to meet your pet care needs! I am also available on weekends! At our house, my dog goes potty either off leash in our backyard or on leash while we walk around the neighborhood. Our cat is strictly an indoor cat, but I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and am happy to care for yours however you need! I’m here to meet your pets’ care needs, so please feel free to provide any special instructions. Whatever it is, I will be respectful of your pets, your space and your time.

Sophia was so great with my 63lb Goldendoodle for multiple days of walks. He can be a strong puller on walks, and can get anxious in the neighborhood, especially in Fireworks season. Sophia was so great with him, gaining his trust and adjusting to his needs each walk. She was timely, remembered instructions, and things unique to my dog. We look forward to having her again.

Claire and Spatzle are slowly working on an introduction. He is a nervous and reactive boy so we are working our way to being able to do overnights and drop ins. Her vet med hx and experience with a reactive dog is SO helpful in knowing how to interact with him and it's going great so far.

Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s always on time, incredibly friendly, and clearly loves spending time with him. I really appreciate the care and attention she gives—she doesn’t just rush through the walks but truly engages with my dog. One day when it was raining and he didn’t want to go outside, Sydney stayed and played with him indoors instead, which meant a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in South East End.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
