“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“First time hiring a pet sitter, wasn't sure what to expect. Molly was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond what I had expected. I would recommend her to anyone as someone to take care of their pets.”
“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”
“Excellent Dog Walker for my Gypsy. Jenny knows dogs & is very careful when walking her around my neighborhood with other dogs around. Gypsy is fine with other dogs but ya never know if other dogs r good with her. I was impressed to see this. On time & reliable. Thank you so much Jenny❤️”
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently care for two cats and also have a Golden Retriever who lives with my former roommate but still comes to visit on weekends, allowing me to stay actively involved in his care and routine. I have also cared for dogs on numerous occasions, including watching my cousin’s dog whenever her family goes on vacation and is unable to bring him along. Through these experiences, I have worked with multiple dog breeds and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and loving environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I will provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am able to check on pets before work, during my lunch break, after work, and throughout the weekend. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and is typically left alone for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will ensure your pet receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. Communication is also important to me. Every pet parent has different preferences, so I always ask whether they would like frequent updates throughout the day or just a daily check-in. Some owners enjoy receiving lots of photos and updates, while others prefer fewer messages while they’re busy at work or enjoying their vacation. I am happy to accommodate either preference and will always keep you informed in the way that works best for you. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and strive to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience.
About: I’ve owned animals all my life, I worked at a doggy daycare for a few years in college and I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken body language classes (since that’s how our pets communicate with us) and multiple training courses with my own dog. I’ve also owned fish, turtles, several small animals including hedgehogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits. I’m open to any pets not just cats and dogs 🖤 My schedule is mostly anytime around an 8-5 Monday-Friday work schedule since I paint cars at a dealership collision shop during the day. There is no schedule for pet care so I do my best to be open and flexible to drop in on your fur babies whenever they need it. I own a reactive dog, so I understand body language and stress and how it can stack up during the day. A good balance of physical activity, combined with mental stimulation and TLC will help to ease any anxiety your pets might have while you’re gone. Many households (even myself) have cameras inside and out to keep an eye on pets and I always encourage parents to reach out if they think their pet needs an extra drop in regardless of if it’s scheduled or not. Pet sitting isn’t just a “30 minute drop in” it’s much much more to me.
“Eric is the best! Both time he helped me with my pup, I waited until the last minute and he was very quick to reply and also very flexible and accommodating. Furthermore my dog looks so happy when he's is with Eric ( he always sends pictures and even video of him running with my pup. My dog comes home in a good mood and seems chilled out. I definitely recommend Eric for any pet related needs. You can tell he has a ki d heart and a passion for animals. Thanks Eric. I appriciate you.”
“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. Through my Rover bookings, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with many different personalities, including shy, nervous, and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog adjusts differently, so I always let them move at their own pace while building trust through kindness, consistency, and positive interactions. In addition to my Rover experience, I volunteer at my local Humane Society, where I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and energy levels. I’m also the proud dog mom of a rescue puppy, whom I trained using positive reinforcement. That experience taught me the importance of patience, structure, and making every dog feel safe and confident. During walks, I’m happy to reinforce the training you’re already working on by encouraging good leash manners, basic commands, and polite walking habits using positive reinforcement. Whether your dog loves long adventures, playing fetch, or taking things slow, I’ll tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. As a fellow dog mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how expensive pet care can become. That’s why I strive to keep my prices fair while providing dependable, personalized care that never compromises on quality. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, safe, and comfortable while giving owners complete peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and communication. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like part of my own family. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays on weekends and weekday ; and walks any day! I look forward to providing dependable, loving care and making every visit a positive experience for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a spacious, climate controlled home. I also volunteer at my local Humane Society, where I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Buren Charter Township
Kallandra was exactly what we needed on short notice! Booked her last minute while I was out of town and my wife had our child, so, not the easiest situation. She was professional from the first message, asked all the right questions about Mickey (leash behavior, other dogs, home access), and was upfront about her availability instead of overpromising. She lives close by, which made everything smoother. Mickey pulled a bit on the leash, she handled it without issue and sent updates after every single walk. My wife said he took to her immediately, which says a lot because he can be picky. Six walks over four days, all completed, all on time (minor Wednesday morning adjustment she flagged in advance). She closed out with a genuine message and didn't just disappear after the last walk. That kind of professionalism sticks. We'll definitely book her again!

Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Van Buren Charter Township. 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

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.
