About: I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for 2 years where I took care of the dogs there (young and old) and monitered the dog play groups. I also have experience giving medication. I am so excited to meet your furry friends! Rover is my main job right now. I am working toward a pet sitting business/career so I would love to take any requests and meet your special pups (or cats)! I am happy to help with whatever is needed in drop in visits, whether walking, feeding, giving meds, playing fetch, giving attention, or other specific needs.

“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”

“Lucas is a lifesaver! I’m so happy he was willing to take us on as clients. He’s responsive, punctual, and friendly. He provided great feedback from walks with my Samson; they seemed to get on pretty well. I would definitely rebook.”

About: I have had animals my whole life (cats and dogs) and would love to help care for yours in any way I can. I work from home unless otherwise scheduled (which I will know in advance) so I can be very flexible in that respect. I aim to help care for your animals with compassion, respect, and fun! I am available during the day and evenings all week unless otherwise stated on my Rover calendar and/or in messages. I would love to get the chance to meet your furry friend!! I am able to care for your pets in any way that is necessary. Walking, feeding, playing, cleaning, and more! I don't know much about medications, but I am a quick learner and would be agreeable to learn from you and help if needed. I volunteer at a cat shelter and have a cat and dog of my own, so I do understand the need for good care!

“Megan has such a great way with dogs, and goes the extra mile—cleaning up dog doo, putting on our dog’s coat on chilly days, and walking her regularly, even in blustery weather. She is so flexible and responsive!”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.

“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I’m patient, attentive, and I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet! I work part time and have a hybrid school schedule, this gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I keep an active lifestyle which means lots of walks and playtime for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

“Morty really loves that she takes good care of him!”

“Sarah is so great! Professional, caring and attentive. Our pets are so well cared for when she is visiting! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding attention to their pets’ needs!”

About: I've always loved working with animals. My family has owned pets that range from large dogs to small kittens. Since I was young, I've grown in experience taking care of farm animals and household pets. Some of my jobs have included training a puppy to do some basic tricks, caring for an older pup in her last days, bathing dogs, playing with cats, long walks with high energy dogs, and cuddles with the low energy ones. I'm currently working as an intern in downtown Grand Rapids. I'm able to work around my flexible schedule to give your pet the care that it needs. Typically, I work all day Thursday, but I'm willing to work with you to fit your schedule best! Since I am in an apartment, I am sadly unable to provide boarding services at my residence. However, I have a car and am more than willing to travel to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home!

About: I have owned and taken care of animals my entire life, I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats including walking, bathing, feeding, and so much more! I also have experience in basic training for younger animals and I am also able to care for senior animals such as giving medication or treating them with the extra care they deserve! I'm currently a full time student at Northern Michigan University, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I prioritize your pets safety and will never leave them out of my sight or unattended. I will take upmost care and consideration when it comes to keeping your pets healthy, safe, and happy.

About: I love all types of animals. I have experience in rabbits, cats & dogs. My family has always had animals, it’s a second nature to me. I am currently unemployed but looking for part time work. I would love to pick up pet sitting opportunities as much as possible. I have a free and open schedule. I do not offer pet services in my home but at the clients home I am more than willing to crate animals or let them out into a fenced in yard to watch them. I am good with rewarding with treats, having play time, picking up poop, cleaning, etc. I am fully capable of the responsibility it takes to care and build trust with animals.

About: I specialize in dogs that most sitters avoid: reactive or anxious dogs leash-pullers herding breeds multi-dog households I live with 3 Aussies and have handled dogs who resource guard, get overstimulated in public, or need structure to feel safe. I’m calm, patient, and observant. No yelling, no panic — just steady handling and respect for your dog’s thresholds. You’ll get detailed updates, photos, and honest communication. Your dog stays safe and understood. I keep a flexible schedule and prioritize consistency for the dogs in my care. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, and I can reliably commit to regular weekly walks or ongoing exercise plans. If your dog thrives on routine, I’ll make sure we stick to it. Because I specialize in high-energy and working breeds, I plan our sessions around the time of day when they’ll get the most out of the experience—whether that’s a crisp morning hike, a mid-day outing when the neighborhood is quieter, or an evening decompression walk after work. I do my best to accommodate weather, distance, and drive levels so each dog leaves satisfied, not just “checked off.” If you have a long workday, variable shifts, or need help during busy weeks, just tell me what your situation looks like. I’m comfortable coordinating schedules, and once we establish a routine I am very dependable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing come before everything else. My approach is simple: clear communication, calm leadership, and respect for the individual needs of each dog. I don’t rush, force, or overextend dogs—every outing is tailored to their age, fitness level, and temperament. I’m experienced with strong, high-drive breeds and understand how to manage leash pulling, overstimulation, and reactivity in a controlled way. I use secure equipment, keep my dogs leashed at all times on trails, and never take unnecessary risks. If conditions aren’t safe—heat, ice, traffic, wildlife—we adjust the plan but still make sure your dog is fulfilled. When I walk or hike with a dog, I treat them with the same responsibility and care as my own Australian Shepherds. I monitor their body language, energy level, hydration, and fatigue throughout the session. My goal is not just to tire out a dog—it’s to help them decompress, explore, and return home calm, relaxed, and happy. I take trust seriously, both for pets and their owners. I communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure you never wonder how your dog is doing. You’ll always know where your dog is, what we’re doing, and how they handled the outing. I want you to feel confident that when your dog is with me, they are safe, respected, and getting the level of care they deserve.

About: After getting my family pitbull/boxer 8 years ago, I’ve become extremely confident and comfortable with animals. I absolutely LOVE caring for animals! For a couple years I worked as a pet care technician, so I know all about pet care. Along with caring for my own dog, I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat and family friend’s dogs for years. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring companionship, health, and happiness for my furry friend through feeding, walks, playtime, and affectionate moments. I will care for my clients pets like they are my own babies. I’ll give them as much love and attention as they’re willing to receive :)

“Amazing person and took care or my dog well! Even gave my dog a new toy, would definitely hire in the future!”

About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.
