Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with care and respect like they’re my own. I’m flexible with my schedule and able to make time throughout the week for pet care, walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable about routines and communication, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behavior, and safety during walks or visits. I respect clients’ homes, keep things clean, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care so owners can feel confident while they’re away.

I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 8 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

About: I've got several years of experience under my belt! I raised my family puppy Baloo since he was just a baby and now he's a whole 3 years old. We also had a cat for six years and I've gotten a lot of experience in cat care as well. I've also taken care of other dogs for the day and taken them out on walks. I'd love to take your best friend out on a walk and help you give them the time they deserve! I'm currently in my last year of medical school, which is a pretty flexible time with a lot of virtual stisginf included. I'm available to help most hours of the day and am usually available on weekends! I have a large apartment space and access to a large, fully fenced yard just across the street where we could play fetch! I have taken my family dog here many times and he's loved it.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals and cared for them with a huge heart. Whether they were my own, a foster pet, sitting for somebody or volunteering at the animal shelter. I have had experience sitting for animals since I was 8. I started caring for a senior/special needs cat for a couple years. Shortly after, I sat for my neighbors very small puppies. I’ve always had the best time caring for animals. More recently I sit for neighborhood dogs and of course care for my own pets! I have a young golden doodle and two cats currently. I work on training my dog constantly, teaching her behavior skills and new tricks. I’ve been to quite a few dog training classes as well and I’ve definitely picked up some skills along the way. One time my foster pup learned how to use talking buttons in one day! She is one smart pittie! I have foster experience with puppies and senior dogs, we always have a good time until we find their forever homes! I will treat your pet like my own, with the care, love, respect, and understanding they deserve. I am home from college for the summer! I go to Western Michigan University, Go Broncos! I have another job but am able to work around it and have a pretty open schedule! I have a very friendly dog loving golden doodle who will love to play with your fur baby! I also have several crates available if needed. Unfortunately my yard isn’t fenced, but I have a large fenced off deck and 30 foot leashes so the pups can run around! I also have a great park in my neighborhood that is the doggy hotspot! My dog loves going for walks there and playing in the field. Along with the park, there are several nature trails very close to my home. My dog loves to adventure and smell all the smells! It can be very enriching for them. :)

Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a South Side dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

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 Side.

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.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
