“Shelby was fantastic. She walked my dog four days in a row while I was working. My dog liked her from the moment they met and she did a great job! I will be asking her to walk my dog again soon.”

About: I have experience with potty training as well as puppy obedience training, working with previously abused dogs, shelter dogs, dogs with anxiety, senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs including Pica. I can administer medications, oral or injectable. I do mental stimulation work with the senior dogs. Also available is joint massage therapy with or without heat and red light therapy if he or she has arthritis or inflammation. I have 36 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have taken the Bark Busters dog training course in dog obedience and behavior training as well as reading many educational books on the canine and feline behavioral and physical attributes. I can care for multiple animals at once. I also care for pet ducks, rabbits, hamsters, fish & guinea pigs. Are you looking for that special person that you can trust to care for your beloved fur baby while you are at work or away from home? That's me 😃 I am loving, kind, caring, trustworthy, patient and reliable. I truly love animals and they love me. Animals can sense what kind of person you are by simply smelling you. I am all about the paw. 🐾 Let's do a free meet a greet 😃 I treat every animal with the love and care it deserves. Each animal is different so I customize my sessions to fit their specific wants and needs. Puppies and kittens are full of energy and can be destructive if they get pent up and bored. They need lots of play time. 😃 I have a large variety of toys to keep their little body active. Senior dogs need mental stimulation and to get up and move around. I have many mental enrichment puzzles to help prevent the onset of dementia and encourage movement to help their joints.

About: For 10 years, one family trusted me with their kids and their dogs, and I’d love to earn that same trust from you. I cared for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. That meant meals, walks, potty training, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Beyond that family, I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, which taught me that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of every age, size, and energy level, from rambunctious puppies to laid-back seniors and nervous pups who need a gentle, patient approach. My schedule is fully open, so I can work around your plans, keep your dog’s routine just the way they like it, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens and horses to bunnies and birds, and there has always been a dog (or two!) in the mix. I currently have two dogs of my own who are very loved and spoiled! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. No matter your pet’s age, personality, or needs, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own! I’m available on weekends and select days throughout the week, and my work-from-home schedule gives me the flexibility to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time and play safely under supervision. I also believe in slow, careful introductions when meeting new dogs to help everyone feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routines, respect their individual needs, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️

“Very pleasant and accommodating. I had her over to my parents home where my dog was staying to walk my pup on relatively short notice. My parents dogs as well as mine all obviously took a shine to her, she sent me photos of the dogs, and was over every day she said she would be and walked for at least 30 min. Definitely someone I would recommend!”

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: home full time!!! Nail trims available during boarding or day care For an extra $10 per dog! Hi everyone! I’m Marielle! I’m very experienced with dogs especially but cats too! I’ve done just about every job you can do with animals, from managing a doggy day care, to working in grooming salon, to being a veterinary assistant. I have worked with animals professionally for 10 years and counting! I do have a few pets of my own right now, I have an Italian greyhound who is just my baby and a cat Theo who pretty much leaves all the dogs alone. I have no problem with any breed or any size dog, and know how to handle timid and anxious animals as well. I am extremely loving and treat every animal as if they were my own! please be advised that even though this is my full-time job, I am in enforcing a new policy, which states that I am only allowing pick up and drop offs between 7AM and 10 PM. If you need to pick up or drop off before or after these times, I will have to add an additional fee or you can book for an extra night so i can have a regulated schedule. I am home full-time so my days revolve around the dogs although i still have to leave my house for errands an appointments so pet must be able to be crated for when i do have to leave for everyone’s safety. I treat every animal as if they were my own. Safety wise I do prefer if they can be crated for a few hours when I am not home as some animals can get anxious in new places and start getting into things that they shouldn’t and potentially harm themselves. I do not have a fenced in yard at the moment. I still take dogs out for potty breaks and walks 3 times a day.

About: Hello! My name is Ashlie. I am 27 years old and I had a golden retriever for 13 years, and a golden doodle for a year now. The golden doodle is a family dog which is at my parents house!! I have a 2 year old cat that lives in my house. I had a maltese living with me for a little over a year and my cat and her got along well. Also, I watched my friends cat (the dark grey one cuddling me) for 3 months. I’ve also watched a 3 month old cane corso for 3 months. All while having my cat at the house. See my photos for pictures of all of them!!:) I love all animals, have plenty of experience and will be able to take care of your pet with lots of love! I am super friendly, responsible, caring and loving. I will be able to take walks with your dog and play with them. I will give them lots of attention! Please contact me if you are interested in my service. Thank you so much! :) I’m a server & my hours are mostly the same every week. My brother lives here as well so when I’m at work, he’ll always be a helping hand! I have a fenced yard at my house. I do have a cat but I can always separate them if you’re comfortable with that. My cat would most likely stay away anyways, she likes her own peace and quiet!

About: I've taken care of the family cat since I was little. Near the end of her life, I learned to give her subcutaneous fluids. When Booboo passed away, we got another cat and a dog. I helped train Ruby when she was a puppy. I can feed, walk, bathe, give medication, and train dogs and cats. I also have experience being an assistant at a veterinary clinic and taking care of patients and clinic animals. I have also been at school for becoming a vet tech for one semester. I work part-time at Meijer now! It's an overnight stocking job and I do not work the same days/times every week. Usually shifts start at 11 pm and end at 3-6 am. I sometimes do not have a car during the day, so I am not consistently available anymore for daytime help. I do not work Mondays at Meijer. Otherwise, I'm free from 8 am to midnight. Previous customers take priority for requests, as I understand many pet parents like to stick with the same sitter. I have a tie off in my yard and can take your dogs to the Orion Oaks dog park. I have a crate in my car for transportation. Ruby may be able to play with your dog if they get along with each other.

About: I have grown up my entire life with dogs and cats in the home. I started dog sitting when I was ten for a family friend and worked at a local kennel through middle and high school. I am now the proud father of 3 of my own and cherish every moment I spend with them. I am currently working partime and set my own schedule so I will have plenty of time to show your pups all the love they deserve when mom and dad are away. Whether is playing fetch or a nice long walk I'll make sure your children are happy and excercised when you can't be there to do it for them.

About: Certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and training, I bring 6 years of experience working with diverse dog breeds, ages, and temperaments, ranging from shy to reactive/aggressive. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I excel in building bonds and fostering confidence. I also have some experience in cat sitting. I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own. For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home

Erin has just started walking our German shepherd. She has been easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. She was flexible as we felt the weather was not safe for either to walk. She spent time with her inside after letting her out.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Yates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Yates is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,197 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Yates. 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 Yates. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Yates after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Yates. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
