Dog Walking Baxter

“Kate was so lovely with me new rescue dog, he is adjusting to his new environment and Kate has been so helpful with that adjustment. Will definitely have Kate back!”

“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”

“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.”

“Sydney is such a great Dog walker. My dog needed a little extra exercise today and she was willing to run with him a little. That was so nice.”

“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”

“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”

About: I am an English teacher and I have summers off! Dogs or cats, or lizards! I would love to spend it with your furry friends! I can spend all day with your special friends! My apartment has a dog wash station, and a great walking space and with some trails! I have worked with large and small animals and I am able to walk and play with them all day!

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life and come from a family of dedicated pet lovers. Over the past 9+ years, I've provided reliable pet care for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As the owner of a senior dog, I have firsthand experience caring for older pets and understand the patience, attention, and specialized care they often require. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'm committed to following their routine and providing individualized care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing compassionate, trustworthy care while keeping you updated with photos and messages during your pet's stay. I would be honored to care for your pet and look forward to providing them with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I work for home 5 days a week with a flexible schedule! I’m available for walks/drop ins before work, on my lunch break or after! Rules that are set in your household/on walks for your pet are the rules that I will follow. Additionally, I’m a triple checker on everything I do for my pet and same goes for yours.

“This was my first time having Colene come to visit and walk my sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She had excellent communication and showed my little Lula some love and attention while I had to be away for the day. Will be using again!!”

About: I have been caring for and loving dogs and cats for my whole life but have been doing pet sitting for the past 6 years! No longer having one of my own, I have a very open schedule and love to spend my time keeping your fur babies company! My favorite past times include walking and curling up with a good book and would love the opportunity to include your sweet pets! I do remote work right now so I have a lot of free time to spend with your fur babies! I am available for home stays or drop-ins of any length, and love to fill my time with sweet animals of all types and personalities! I am a very active person and love long walks but also love to curl up and cuddle with your fur babies on the couch with a good book. I can fit in wherever and however your pet will be most comfortable. I am capable of crating animals and also love to cuddle up with them, I am punctual and communicative and want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!

About: I have owned two dogs and they were my responsibilities to take care of them. More recently I had a 16 year old dog that I would consider my “soul dog”. She taught me how to be prepared for every stage in a dogs life ~ from puppy, to psycho hyper dog, to well behaved, to maybe doesn’t do well with other dogs, to being needy and wanting extra love, or to her wanting her alone time. She also taught me towards the end of her life how on top of appointments I needed to be or how to trick her into taking her medicine (as that was a hassle) and to pay extra attention for signs of not feeling good. I will make sure your dog gets the love and attention it needs! I love to play with dogs and miss having a companion. If your dog likes to go to the dog park I’ll take them! I think it’s good for dogs to socialize with others, unless there are circumstances that prevent that from happening that’s understandable as well. Choose me to make sure your dog gets taken care of the right way! I currently work Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 with the availability to go home on lunches. I will make sure to adjust my schedule to what your dog needs. I currently have a roommate with a dog and help her out when needed or take her dog to the dog park when I can tell she needs socialization. I always make time to go outside. I’ll have treats to offer. Your dog will get a lot of attention with me. I’ll make sure to comfort them since they will be without their owner! I am respectful of others home’s and follow instructions for their pets.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always contributed to their care and look forward to having one of my own. I have a Sphynx cat named Olive who is my baby. I also have a pet ornate box turtle named Tammy and I treat both as my children, so I have experience caring for reptiles. I also have experience caring for rodents for the past two years. I have watched many of my neighbors dogs before while out of town, as well as my friends cats. I have 2 years of experience of being one of the only people doing Rover in Marquette MI, and had at least one dog staying with me every day for that time on top of doing house visit, so I have lots and lots of Rover experience! (Most of my repeat clients moved to off Rover arrangements) I am currently a medical student in Grand Rapids so my hours are a little limited now, and I can no longer board as I live in an apartment. However, I’m off for the summer and would love to watch/walk some fur babies! I’m currently on summer break from medical school, so I have availability pretty much every week day. However, I have a lot of weekend trips planned, so my weekend dates are limited. I will say I do prefer to sleep at my own house, but for house sitting can do as many drop in visits as needed and can stay for long periods of time. I am able to take the animals on long walks or hikes if that is desired, am available for around the clock care, and have experience with reptiles, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have lots of experience hosting dogs at my home. Now, I can adapt to any animals needs and follow any plans or routines you give me!
