About: We are a married couple who have experience raising 3 active German Shorthair Pointers. I’m a teacher and my husband, James, works his IT job remote which allows us to have flexibility with letting dogs out and walking at various times of the day. We have experience with administering medication to dogs and caring for senior dogs as well. We love exploring the outdoors while camping and fishing. You can catch us on the water any chance we get. We also love spending time at home with our fur babies, Striker and Daisy. They keep us on our toes and make life fun! I’m a teacher and my husband works his job remote which allows us to have flexibility with letting dogs out and walking at various times of the day. I have availability all days and times during summer months and after 4:00 pm during the school year. James has more flexibility and is available to help any day and most times. We provide drop in services and dog walking. Our dogs are friendly but we’d leave them at home and focus on your pups while you need us. I am allergic to cats so prefer homes without just to be on the safe side.

“Ollie loved Jamie and she was great with him from the moment they met. We’ll definitely be calling for her services again!”

“We are so pleased with Melissa's care and communication. She was prompt, friendly, and sent plenty of pictures, updates and info about our little furry guy while we were gone. She was a pleasure to work with!”

About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands on experience for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Growing up, my mom trained dogs professionally, which gave me early experience to dog behavior and proper pet care. Throughout high school, I regularly helped care for up to 10 dogs at a time, assisting with daily routines, exercise, feeding, and general care. I also grew up with a cat, and have always loved spending time with cats just as much as dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable in yalls home. During college, I worked as a nanny for a family and was responsible for walking and caring for their two Great Danes. This experience gave me great confidence in handling larger breeds, and reminded me how important it is to be consistent and reliable. I bring responsibility, attention to detail, and genuine care to every pet I work with. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, or overnight care, I will treat your pet just like family and provide you with updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8AM-5PM at the Community Mental Health in downtown Traverse City, but have some flexibility. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for an hour any time between 12PM-2PM during the week. I am available from 5:30PM-11 PM Monday-Friday, and have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved family member is a big decision, and I take it seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, I strive to keep their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, or just spending quality time together, I know that consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their parents are away. I am always respectful of clients’ homes and will always follow care instructions carefully. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets, and communicate promptly if any concerns arise. My goal is to give you and your pet a stress free experience and peace of mind that comes from knowing they are being care for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care.

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Always on time and very pleasant. Toby and I looked forward to her arrival. He waited by the door!”

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible - morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend! **Due to several issues with owners not being on time for drop off or pick up, I want to add that when accepting a booking, the time is very important as well as the day as other appointments may be on my schedule that day. It is very important that the drop off and pick up times selected are accurate for smooth transitions.** I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they are away!

About: I grew up in a small town in Northern Michigan where animals weren't just pets, they were part of everyday life. Surrounded by dogs, cats, and farm animals from a young age, I developed a natural comfort and respect for animals that only comes from experience. Growing up with American Bulldogs taught me early that strong, high energy dogs require patience and confidence, but mostly just a whole lot of love. Starting in middle school, family and friends began trusting me with their pets, and through that I've learned there's no adventure or day that isn't better with a furry friend by your side. My most hands on experience includes caring for three dogs at once with very different needs: a yellow Lab puppy with endless energy, a senior black Lab requiring mobility assistance, and a spirited Shih Tzu who was unaware of her age and physical limitations. Managing all three taught me how to balance high energy, gentle handling, and individual attention all under one roof. As an online student also working toward my Pilates certification this summer, my schedule is accommodative in all the right ways. I live on the Boulder Hill and are largely home during the day, which means I can assist your pets in a timely manner. I share a home with two other animal loving roommates and a rescue cat who mostly keeps to herself. None of my animals currently live with me, which means your animal has my full attention! My backyard is fully fenced though I enjoy accompanying your pet outside regardless to get fresh air myself. I've accommodated pets of all leisure and am happy to follow the rules you have in place. I drive a reliable truck and have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your pet the attention they actually deserve. When visiting a client's home, all of that still applies! I take your space, your routines, and your trust seriously, and having worked professionally as a house cleaner, leaving things tidy and respected is just how I operate.

About: Hi there! My name’s Kayla and next to me is Maple. I am a retired physical therapist, done caring for humans, and ready to care for your fur baby. Maple accompanies me on daily walks in addition to running errands and adventuring. Together we attended behavior skills classes where we both learned higher level training. I’d love to connect! I am a newly retired (burnt out) physical therapist, with lots of time on my hands. Ready to get back to life’s simple pleasures and happiness. #pets Pets are family and deserve to be treated as such. Love and attention go a long way into a building a relationship with a pet.

“Grace has been great with my almost 6 month old puppy Scout! She makes sure he gets the playtime he needs in the middle of the day. Grace is very trustworthy and would recommend her for watching your furry animals!”

Kirsten S.

About: I am a 39 year old animal lover who works in the service industry with a flexible schedule and adventurous lifestyle. My dog, Kiteboarding and camping are my top 3 passions in life. I volunteer for the rescue I got my dogs from and walk many of them on Monday's. Serving is great but doesn't always pay the bills and I have several friends who have loved sitting through rover, and I love dogs and cats so it seemed like a no brainer. I hope to meet you and your furry companions soon! Currently I am working two jobs. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available before 10am and after 6pm. Thursday through Sundays my schedule is different every week unfortunately.. but I typically have availability at some point, it just varies. As of right now I have availability on Mondays all day for pets as I'm off of both jobs. I can care for your baby however you feel most comfortable and don't mind special requests or requirements, whatever keeps them safe and happy! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, backgrounds and ages of dogs.

“Heather is the best. I will continue to use her in the future!!”

“Thanks so much for driving out to meet us with the key!”

About: I have been watching dogs since I was in high school for neighbors but recently took up watching dogs seriously in the last year or so. I worked at a private country club in California for the last year and was very involved in watching members dogs. This included taking them for walks, stopping in for daily visits while owners are away or spending multiple nights, sometimes up to a week staying with dogs. This has included many different breeds ranging from schitzus to giant poodles. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I work from home as a freelancer in the golf industry so my schedule is completely flexible to your needs. I am available for morning walks, lunchtime walks and evening walks. I follow clients directions very carefully and can play with, walk or entertain your dog as long as you request. I love caring for animals.

About: I've used sitters through this site in Michigan for my little girl, Kiera Marie.-It was great! I've done lots of dog sitting and dog fostering too. Living in beautiful Northern Michigan, I can't think of a more beautiful area to dog walk! I'm available to take your dog for walks-let’s set up a schedule! I'm also happy to dog sit in either one of our homes. I am always willing to fit a furbaby into my schedule. I have experience with large and small breeds. I am also comfortable sitting for multiple dogs. I have worked with restricted diets and behavioural issues. I have a soft spot for all dogs and I look forward to talking with you soon! My husband and I both work part-time, so one of us can always be with the pups! We will adhere to any feeding schedule that your family is accustomed to. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy the great outdoors! We’ll enjoy many walks and cuddles!! If your pup enjoys it we have plenty of toys to play fetch with too. Your pup will be treated like family! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate just about any arrangement that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! :) Expect lots of walks, playing fetch, dog play dates (if they’re up for it) cuddles, photos for their parents, treats…They will be showered with love!

“Jennifer is amazing! She went way above and beyond to make sure that my nervous, timid dog got to know her and was comfortable with her. She was very kind and loving to my dog, on time, and very professional. I got plenty of pictures and updates so I didn't have to worry about anything. I'm so glad that my first experience using Rover or a dog walker service went so well. I'm really happy and highly recommend Jennifer.”
