“My dog, Ranger, adores Erica and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s reliable, wonderful with animals, and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend booking with Erica! 💗”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, I understand that every animal deserves personalized care. As a pet owner myself, I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to bottle-fed kittens and insulin-dependent pets. I provide flexible, attentive care, along with regular updates and clear communication, so you can have the same peace of mind I would want when my own pets are in someone else’s care. Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine, giving me the opportunity to check in, take walks, or provide longer care tailored to each adorable pet. I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.
“Suzanne is reliable and a great dog walker. My dog looks forward to seeing her, and they have great little adventures through the neighborhood. Hope she can continue to walk him weekly for a long time!!”
“Ashley is very reliable and flexible when needed. She is accommodating with our constant change of schedule. Not only that but she is great with our dogs. If you’re looking for a trusted dog walker Ashley is the one.”
“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!”
“Hi highly recommend Greg! I was fortunate enough to not only book him last minute so my pup could get in a walk, but also able to do so on New Years Eve. My pup was obviously quite fond of him because he didn't want to stop playing with Greg once he brought him back home from the walk, and he continued to bring over one toy after the next to show him. I look forward to booking him again in the near future.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet.

In terms of sitting I have toys to keep them occupied. Also for days scheduled ahead of time I am willing to travel far outside of my vicinity.

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 .

- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
