About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.

“Highly recommend Shelby. She treats our dog just like her own, which is exactly what we want in someone who is involved with us and our dog. She is tuckered out after her walks and we love the updates we get!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My stepdad was the head of animal control, which taught me a lot about animal behavior, safety, and compassion at a young age. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently share my heart (and couch!) with two of my own—Sassy, my sweet 17-year-old dachshund who I’ve had since 2011, and Oakley, a playful 6-year-old lab I adopted from the local animal shelter. I understand the unique needs of both senior dogs and high-energy pups, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pet needs gentle senior support, active playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help with dependable, loving care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give my dogs plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I’m only five minutes from home, so I’m able to come back easily to let my dogs out and check in on them. Their well-being is always a top priority, and I structure my day to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for—I’d do the same for yours! I care for pets in whatever way is most comfortable for them. I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. If your pet loves their kennel, that’s perfectly fine—but if they prefer to cuddle up in bed, I’m more than happy to share the extra snuggles! Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, or just relaxing on the couch, I do my best to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”

About: I am currently working at a doggy daycare and have pet sit dogs for over 5 years! I love to be outside with dogs and help them get all their energy out or just lay in the sun! I am currently part time in school finishing up my degree and working part time at a doggy daycare so I have a flexible schedule and can fit daily walks in! My weekends are also pretty open so I have plenty of time to hang out with some pets! Because I do have two cats, I am not comfortable bringing pets into my home but I have plenty of experience pet sitting in other homes and have no problem coming to you and making your pet as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home!

About: My daughter and I are dog sitting for two reasons -- we flat out love dogs and my daughter is saving for college. While supporting my daughter's entrepreneurial spirit your dog will get a vacation of a lifetime. Without getting too deep into my resume, here are some highlights: -Handled five police dogs. 1000's of deployments. -Master Trainer for the International Police Work Dog Association. -Developed and taught a unique dog safety program. Have presented the hands on program from everyone to 1000's of second graders to regional UPS drivers. -Recognized expert witness in court on dog tracking, aggression, training, and deployment. -Over 75 nationally published articles on dog obedience, housing, behavior, training, etc. -Tested, certified, and trained working dogs from nearly all 50 states and several countries. (This year I've had dog teams travel to my home from Montana, Florida, Iowa, etc for assistance). I do all this because I simply love interacting with dogs. The love has spread to my 13 year old daughter. I currently have a very fun, young, and goofy dog -- a Vizsla named "Ranger." He clearly isn't a working dog and isn't a picture of obedience perfection. (I only mention this to let you know that despite my resume your dog doesn't have to be perfect and is coming into a very fun and loving household!) We've truly been a dog centered household for 20 years. My wife is a literal Saint! My private dog training rates, and I've turned down much more work than I've accepted, runs 10x the Rover.com rate we are charging. This is truly a venture that partners up youth business and the love of dogs. Long live Capitalism, dogs, and the USA!

“Izzy was great and our pups loved her! We reached out to Izzy last minute, as we needed someone to let our pups out/walk them while we were out of town unexpectedly. She came over and met them both ahead of time, and our very timid rescue dog immediately took to Izzy. She was on time each day, and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She made sure their food and water was full, and locked the house when she left. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need some help!”

About: If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment, drop ins for other dogs, or maybe a date night. We have 3 rescue kitties, who are like my tiny babies, very spoiled. Bam- who loves to help walk all the pups, and my girls- Pumpkin, and Elsa- who try to avoid visiting dogs ant ALL cost. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. We also have Cash- a 1.5 year old, 30lb. Cocker Spaniel- who likes to think he’s a 125lb Husky. He hasn’t met a dog, big or small, he doesn’t like. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so. Animal caretaking is my full time job and my family is 1000% okay with that. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t want to bring home with me. We just moved from Sparta to Ravenna, and we’re now on 3 acres. Your fur baby is invited and encouraged to make our house their home away from home. They will be well spoiled and loved, as my entire family will be doting on them.

About: We lost our dog, Sophie, 2 years ago so until we find our next rescue I love watching other dogs to get my "dog fix" I work full-time from 7:30am-4pm Tues-Fri. I do work from home on Mondays and I'm available weeknights and weekends. I'm willing to come to your house or your pet is welcome to come to mine. I live in a quiet development where I can walk your dog easily on sidewalks and we have a large yard to play fetch. We also have lots of dog toys we saved.

About: I'm a Mom to precious 4 year old boy and two adorable fur babies, Nike and Max! I've had dogs all my life and couldn't imagine my life with out one! My son is very gentle and loving towards dogs and he loves to play outside with the dogs and I. I'm home with my son often and I thought it would be perfect to walk dogs or watch them for people who may not have time! I love going to the dog park and going on long walks to make sure each dog gets the care and exercise they need to be able to live their best lives! I can't wait to meet your furry friend and help make your day a little easier!

“Gabby was very sweet and kind. My dog lilly came home and just relaxed. I was hesitanted on letting a stranger walk my dog because she is apart of the family. I was glad I took the lep. I am recovering from surgery so unable to walk a 60+ pound dog. I highly recommend her.”

About: My family and I have always had pets. Mainly Dogs and Cats, I was able to grow up around Terriers, Retrievers, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, and Mixed Breeds. Each pet is a member of the family. Currently, I am a student at Ferris State working part-time. Able to spend lots of time and give lots of care to pets. On Weekdays I am free almost every evening. I have requested at least two days in advance in order to accommodate my schedule so I can provide the best for your pet! At my apartment complex, we have two dog areas as well as a connection area for the Ferris State disc golf course. I am willing to travel to the parks in Big Rapids to give your dog all the attention and fun! The same for cats, I am willing to make sure my home is suitable for all.

About: HI, my name is Lenore, - My love for animals began when I was very young... - A few years ago, my Sheltie, Spencer... at 10 wk old, was already highly intelligent, and so full of love.

Such fun. - a few other animals I've cared for; dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, bearded dragons, fish, eels, a chinchilla, pet snakes....but said no to a tarantula!

I will take only one dog at a time unless you have two, who know each other, and get along.

About: I’ve taken care of many shapes, sizes and breeds of dogs since I was little. I personally have had a wide variety of dogs growing up. i’ve had German Shepard, Cocker spaniel, black lab, Pomeranian, pit bull and now a miniature golden doodle! I do work full time, but from home! walking a dog would be my “lunch break”, it would be my escape from work and my house. I live on 12 acres, 2 acres out of the 12 are mowed. So my dog loves to get her zoomies out around the whole house!

About: Hi! Thanks for looking at my profile - I hope to meet your fur baby! I have taken care of a variety of animals in the past and will always jump at the opportunity. I’m comfortable with all animals… except spiders. I’m trusted by many of my friends and family to bathe, feed, walk, play with, and care for their pet. You can be sure that your animals will be treated with as much love and care as you would give them yourself! I am happy to be on my Rover journey and can't wait to meet some new furry faces! I am able to walk your pet or check on them between 9am-3pm Sunday-Thursday. Some days I may be free all day! Let’s chat :) While I am looking after your pet, they will be my number one priority! Being a new face, I will give them their space until they warm up to me, if needed. I know all dogs are different and need different levels of care. I am here to make sure your pet is comfortable and in great hands!
