“Kat is our new FAV! She is such a kind person and huge animal lover. She took care of our pup for us last minute, and sent lots of pictures and messages. She also arrived early and stayed a few minutes late to let our dog cool down and relax after their walk. She made sure to ask us all the questions and took detailed notes during the meet & greet. I couldn’t recommend her enough, so amazing!!”
“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”

About: I have been lucky enough to have cared for dogs from all ages, breeds, and walks of life. From raising my own since they were puppies, to caring for them to the end of their lives, I have always put their physical and emotional well-being first. While I have had many pets myself- hamsters, rabbits, fish, and birds- my dogs have been my favorite, and dog-sitting for my friends has been a highlight for me, especially since my soul-dog died last year. I have experience working with puppies all the way through senior pups, and I look forward to taking care of YOUR pet(s), so that you can have peace of mind while you have to be away from them. Right now I'm looking for life to slow down a bit, so at the moment, I am completely invested in pet care. I am hoping to build relationships with new families, and become YOUR favorite caregiver! I do have a commitment in Detroit from 10:15am-2pm on Sundays, but am happy to drive to your home and back to ensure continuous care. I cannot do overnights at homes where people smoke inside. I treat clients' pets and homes like they are my own- with the utmost love and care! I remain in specified areas, am quiet and respectful, and ensure the safety of all pets. I'm attentive to the needs of the family, especially any dietary restrictions of the pet(s).
“Kristin was very thorough and thoughtful when meeting our pups. She did a great job walking our dogs and following up with how they did. We would definitely consider booking with her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of animals and pets my whole life. I love animals, and I’d love to give your pet a walk or a drop in visit during the day! I have a little Shih Tzu of my own, so I know how much fur babies mean to you. I’ll treat your pets with lots of love! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. Whether you’re looking for a one time visit or repeated care, your pets schedule will fit into mine! I want you and your pets to feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll ask questions to get to know your pet and any of their quirks and needs during the visit or walk. I’m always happy to send a picture or text letting you know how your pet is doing for peace of mind.
“Amanda is amazing! She’s super quick to respond, and she even came to meet us prior to our first walk so that we were all comfortable with the process. My little girl loved her time with Amanda, and she sent plenty of photos of her smiling face on their walk. I was a little nervous since this was my first time using Rover, but Amanda made the process smooth and comforting, and we’ll be booking more walks here soon!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southfield on Rover is $22.53 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southfield. 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 Southfield. 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 Southfield.

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 Southfield. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
