Dog Walking Ballards Corners

“We were in a pinch and She helped us on! Super grateful.”

Tom G.

“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.”

Hannah R.

“Hanna is the best. Her and our pup have become fast friends, she works with him on walking more “politely” and is so kind and reliable! We ♥️ Hanna!”

Meg K.

“Anna did an amazing job with Maple! She was so communicative and really eased my anxieties being so far from home. Will definitely be using her services again, and recommend her to anyone looking for care!”

About: For dogs who need more energy burned off, I’m happy to do a run instead of a walk, depending on weather and your dog’s needs. My pace tops out at a 10-minute mile, and I can get down to a 9-minute mile as the weather cools. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs, I’ll also bring along my own dog, a blue heeler, to run together. On the flip side, I’m also a big believer in “sniff walks” — letting the dog lead the way and take in all the smells they want, at their own pace. I listen to podcasts during these, so I’m well-practiced at going slow and staying patient. I treat every pet like my own: plenty of attention, patience, and care, plus updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule this summer and into the fall, which gives me time most mornings for pet care. I’m out and about with my own dog anyway, so fitting in visits or walks is easy. I’ll be taking on as many visits as I can, since it fits naturally into my routine right now. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely — feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs the pet has. Clear instructions upfront make for an efficient, friendly visit and a happy pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before and after a visit, and I send updates and photos so you know exactly how things went.

“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

“Super quick to reply and attentive! Sent me some cute pics of my dog too! 🐶💕”

About: I've been caring for animals for more than 20 years, starting with my own cats when I was 13. Over the years, I've also pet sat for friends, neighbors, and members of my community, and for nearly 10 years they've trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, including senior animals and those with ongoing health concerns. I understand the importance of following routines, administering specialized care, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I primarily support my wife's career, which gives me almost open availability throughout the week. The only times I'm typically unavailable are briefly around 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM when I'm giving her a ride to and from work. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your cat needs morning and evening visits, midday check-ins, or care over multiple days. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of attention while you're away. Because I have two cats of my own, I don't offer boarding in my home. Instead, I provide care in your pet's home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks, and I'm happy to tailor my care to your pet's individual needs. Whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, administering routine care, playing with energetic pets, or simply spending quiet time giving them attention and affection, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're used to at home.

“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

“As sweet as they come. Very attentive…”

About: I have always had passionate for animals since I was a kid; I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. In order to fulfill this dream, I am majoring in animal science at Michigan State University as a third year student! Additionally, I volunteered at the Humane Society of West Michigan and Second Chance Cats. I would walk dogs, social cats, and clean litter boxes, bowls, and surfaces. As a volunteer, I learned how to understand behavior of pets to prevent a situation from escalating and promote the safety of the pet, myself, and others. I am excited to meet your pets and provide excellent care! I am not currently working right now, so time is flexible here! I am willing to work around your schedule and the best time for you. I am not available anytime on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. As I care for your pets in your home, I will make sure to follow all pet care instructions, whether it's dietary needs or medication regimens. I'll provide food and water when needed. Also, I could never forget to provide enrichment if the animal is comfortable. While I meet the basic needs, I will also be cautious of behavior in order to promote security for myself as well as the pet. Not only will I take care of your pets, but also, if comfortable, I can bring in mail, vacuum, or do laundry while respecting privacy and maintaining appearance of activity at client residence. Most importantly, I will secure locks and entryways to prevent unauthorized access by persons not approved by owners, and respect the boundaries of the home. As it goes for dog walking, I will be cautious of my surrounding environment, such as cars or other dogs, to promote safety for myself as well as the pet. Also, I'll never yank or pull harshly on the leash that could possible harm the pet. I'll always pick up after the animal.

“Katherine was an awesome dog walker. She was punctual, communicated well and tracked the walk with a rover card. I would love to have her walk Moe again soon.”

About: I have babysat for families with pets before so I know how to handle animals well! I have helped family members with taking care of their pets; like feeding and walking them! I am currently a college student on summer break while taking a summer class, and I am looking for something to fill the gaps in my schedule! I do not have any pets of my own, but I won't hesitate to take care of someone else's pet! New animals don't scare me!

“Kelly was absolutely fantastic with my pups! She dropped in to let them out and even took them on a walk. She sent multiple pictures and kept me updated the whole time. Will definitely book again, and highly recommend!!”

About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my six-year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home majority of the time to care for your pet. I work three out of the five days per week at home. I am available on weekends. I am in office two days per week. I drive home for Max to to take a break on my lunch hour. I will provide your pet with a quite, safe environment. If boarding your pet I will provide him or her with care that will be tailored to their needs and personality.

“Kerrigan is great! She was very professional and took great care of our dog :)! I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have been with rover, dog bording for about 3 years now. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷‍♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life. I’ve had the responsibility of feeding and cleaning them since I was 14. I am very excited to take care of other pets and keep them safe. I feed my two cats three scoops each day (three scoops for each of them), give them lots of fresh water, and clean their litter boxes every day. I not only take care of my pets to make sure they are safe and healthy, but I play with them and have lots of fun with them.
