About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for friends throughout the years. I have experience doing drop in visits, walking dogs, feeding/watering as well as administering medication, letting dogs in and out to use the bathroom, and cleaning litter boxes! (**Please scroll all the way to the bottom, there are important notes/things to keep in mind before booking!) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of available free time to take care of your pet(s)! I love playing with and interacting with animals, and would be happy to take the extra time and give the extra attention to keep your baby safe and happy while you’re out! I will take every precaution to keep your pet happy, safe, and healthy. With my cat in the past I would always be the one having to give “difficult” or complex instructions for his care, so I understand firsthand the work it takes to care for a pet and follow the more intricate instructions.
“Colleen is amazing! Her communication is top-notch, and she always keeps me updated with photos and activity details from the walks. Most importantly, she has an incredible connection with our dog, Annie, who absolutely adores her. It gives me total peace of mind knowing she is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend Colleen!”
“Jennifer was extremely professional and was wonderful to work with! Sandy loved spending time with her and Jennifer made her feel comfortable while her dad was away. We definitely will book with her again!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Right now, I have two cats who are my baby boys, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and their routines. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities—from high-energy dogs to more independent or shy pets—and I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m very detail-oriented and reliable, especially when it comes to following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I make that a priority. I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me some flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and pet care. I have the most availability after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I’m also available for overnight stays in my clients’ homes, since I live in an apartment and am not offering boarding in my own home. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and routines. I always make sure doors are secure, pets have fresh water, and their space is clean and safe before I leave. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
About: Hi! My name is Lynne, and animals have been a big part of my life for over 30 years. I have extensive experience fostering both dogs and cats, including those who are fearful, shy, or even feral. This has given me the patience and understanding to work with pets of all temperaments and personalities. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs and two cats, so I know what it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, offering playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I truly enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed, and I always treat pets as if they were my own—with lots of love, attention, and respect. I retired from my career last year. I worked in healthcare finance for 26 years. I want to fill my time with something that I really love. My dogs are welcome on all the furniture and are with me all the time. I will care for your pets in the same manner.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home since birth, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. Currently, I share my home with a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and two dog-friendly cats who are all well-socialized and used to visiting pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’m always happy to arrange a video call or an in-person meet and greet beforehand — whatever helps give you peace of mind. Why pet parents choose me: • Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment with plenty of love and attention — not long hours outside unsupervised or crated unnecessarily. • I only board for one family at a time, which allows me to give your pet individualized care and attention while also limiting exposure to unfamiliar animals. • I work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely, if ever, be left alone. • As a Rover customer myself, I know how reassuring regular communication can be. I’m happy to send frequent photo updates and check-ins while you’re away. • I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-ins, you can count on me to be punctual and fully committed to your pet’s care. • I do not require crating for dogs who are not normally crated at home. I want your pet to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me — and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like family. I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means belly rubs, head scratches, cuddles, treats, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. And if your pet prefers their space or is more independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and comfort level. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!

Within the last 12 years I have owned a few fish, a few hermit crabs, a bunny, a few guinea pigs, as well as a hamster. I am a graduate and don't have a part/full time job as of right now so I am able to make plenty of time to care for pets. I have two protective dogs which would not let me allow other animals into my home but I am happy to walk and or go to a pets home to take care of them.

I have been a local pet sitter for my community for years, and decided to use Rover to better organize my schedule.

I truly enjoy spending time with animals and providing a safe option for pet owners. Creating a safe and trustworthy experience is my number one goal. I am willing to do whatever my clients need to earn their trust and ensure their pets safety. I have experience will all types of dogs and tempers and have tremendous patience in order to create a great experience for any type of pet.
About: Hi! I’m a social work student with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their behaviors—what they need, how they communicate, and what that means for the people who love them. I know how much pets are a part of the family, and how important it is to have someone you trust to care for them when you can’t be there. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and attentive—not just to animals, but also to the routines, preferences, and peace of mind of their humans. Every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adapt to their personality and needs with patience, compassion, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to support both you and your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m a student with a flexible schedule, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find grounding. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m happy to build my day around making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, or little quirks your pet loves. With my own dogs, I’ve used positive reinforcement to teach commands and tricks, and I’m always gentle and encouraging. I bring that same approach to every animal I care for—lots of praise, patience, and treats (if allowed!). I also pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond to your pet’s needs in real time, whether they’re feeling playful, anxious, or just want some quiet company. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved—just like I’d want for my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Westland on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,956 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Westland. 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 Westland. 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 Westland.

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 Westland. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
