About: I’ve been a cat owner and animal lover for 15+ years, and I’ve also cared for friends’ cats and walked dogs. I love spending intentional, one-on-one time with pets so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m incredibly attentive, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾 I work remotely and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my routine. Due to my flexible schedule, I also accept last minute requests. In my home, I have two cats who love dogs. I have a yard without a fence, so I’d take your dog out on leash. I also love walking and would love to have a dog to join me. I ensure all pets receive lots of love, attention, and one-on-one time. I follow their routines and care instructions closely.
“We’ve had such a great experience with Anna! She’s taken care of our dog multiple times now, and each time she’s been incredibly reliable, communicative, and an absolute joy to work with. Our dog clearly loves her, and we always feel confident knowing he’s in good hands. Most recently, she reached out ahead of time to check in about the weather—specifically the rain and poor air quality—and offered to do a quick bathroom break with indoor playtime instead of a full walk. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and flexibility, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Highly recommend!”
About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters and fish for almost my entire life. I am very passionate about animals and would love to meet yours too! I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks. I never miss giving my cat Shiraz a full, healthy meal and making sure she is healthy and up to date on all of her vaccines.
“Samantha is Amazing. Drake suffer from anxiety & fear. Instantly Drake took to Samantha, which lets me know that Drake feels safe with her!! I mentioned to Samantha that I would like to someday take Drake for a walk on a trail or to a park. She told me about a trail she knew & asked if she could take Drake there for his walk today and I said that would be awesome. After their time walking on the trail, Samantha sent me photos of the walk and let me know that Drake had a great time exploring new things and that he was a good boy. Over the last 6 months, Drake has been in training to develop skills to help cope with his anxiety & fear. Thank you so much Samantha for the patience and love you showed Drake today!! Taking him on trail walk with good behavior lets me know that his trainings working!! You will definitely be the 1st person I contact to care for Drake in the future!!”
About: I am 33, and I have had a wide range of pets my entire life including dogs, horses, and rodents! I currently chicken-sit, dog visit, bird watch, and occasionally have cats grace me with their presence. My dog is 2.5 years old and generally goes with me to tend to the animals, but I can leave her at home if that is a deal breaker! I live my life so Lady can have a very full one. We go on walks, hikes, or runs every day in any type of weather (Thanks to Michigan). My schedule is all over the place but it allows for me to be flexible. Let me know if I can help! I currently work 30-35 hours a week during the summer and I have winter months off. My summer work generally starts around 3:00 and goes until 10 so I have my mornings and early afternoons free. I treat everyone's house like my own! Trust and respect make up the foundation of my life and line of work. These pets are my family and will be treated as such -if you like your family ;)
“Fabulous care and service! So thankful for the walks given, Ferrari enjoyed them very much and my in-laws greatly appreciated your promptness in picking her up. The Rover reports were an extra bonus, it was good seeing her on her walks.”
About: Get to know me: Hi!!!! My name is Gianna. I've taken care of dogs big and small since I was a child. With 3 pups at home right now giving me years of experience with dogs young and old. I have had breeds such as French bulldogs, pit bulls, and chihuahuas personally, but have cared for many others! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pups. My job is to care for your pup as if it were my own, making sure they are happy and well cared for. Schedule: I am currently employed with a 7 am-5:30 pm job during the weekdays. My weekends are typically clear unless suggested otherwise. After work and before work i am able to care to pets as needed! Safety, care, and environment: When it comes to a clients home I have a range of questions to better prepare myself for the best care. I will ask for a feeding, walking, and potty schedule for your pup to better care for their needs. Information like how much food the pup gets, is the pup friendly with other pups is also a must have! I will ask for permission before walking with multiple pups, and always check fence gates before letting pups out. Nonetheless I will always keep you updated with cute pictures and videos and I will always leave a home better than I arrived!
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
About: I won’t only let your dog out or take them for walks, I’ll also play with them, love on them, and do whatever you want me to do! I grew up with dogs and also have dog sat for multiple friends, family, and coworkers! I’ll love your animal like they’re my own! I’ve also worked with dogs from multiple age ranges so I understand the different needs! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m pretty flexible with my day to day and can work around your busy schedule! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, and night or even all four! Whatever is best and needed for you I am available! I always make sure to do whatever you prefer as the owner! I understand different houses have different rules. If you prefer me to take them out on a leash or stay outside with them and make sure they go potty I can do that! I can also put them in a crate when I leave if needed! Whatever your routine is with them or what you want mine to be with them I will do!

About: I have loved all pets since I was kid;) I normally help friends with their dogs, but I was trying to branch out;) I used to just have cats, but we added two bunnies to the mix and may adopt more. I work full time Monday-Friday at home, but I have a lot of flexibility, as long as I get my 8 hrs at work in;) I would prefer the clients home to visit. I have 3 cats and 2 bunnies at this time;) My place is relatively smaller and pets like to be in their common place.

Today was my first experience with Rover/Molly. Wow! She went above and beyond! My dogs adore her…not the norm for them. Such piece of mind knowing your dogs are well cared for! I hesitate to give such a great review of Molly knowing that means she might not be available when I need her! 10/10!

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

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
