About: New to Rover, but not to pet care! I have a deep-rooted love for animals, sparked by my childhood on my families farm. Growing up surrounded by many animals, including dogs, taught me the importance of nurturing and understanding each pet’s unique personality. I enjoy discovering the funny quirks and individual traits that make each dog special. With hands-on experience caring for many dogs through various stages of life and health issues, I’ve developed skills in managing their unique needs and behaviors. I know that every pet requires a tailored approach, and my background equips me to provide the highest level of care. I’m also familiar with basic pet first aid and emergency procedures, allowing me to act quickly and effectively if necessary. My greatest strength is my patience and understanding, which help me build trust with each animal- ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable when in my care. Additionally, I know being away from your fur babies can be stressful and I’m very good at communicating by providing updates through pictures, videos, or text messages if that’s something you’d like! Typically, I work part time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to spend quality time with your pups! Whether it’s a fun and energizing walk, a cozy check in, or some extra playtime and cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making their time with me enjoyable, safe, and full of attention, because they deserve nothing less! When at your home, I care for your pet based on the information and preferences you share with me. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure to leave your pup happier than I found them! At my home, I have two friendly, lazy cats who can keep your dog company. I again follow the information and preferences you provided to keep your pet comfortable. My apartment has a green yard in the back, which is perfect for potty breaks and a bit of outdoor time. While it’s unfenced, I’ll keep your dog leashed at all times and keep a close eye on all outdoor activities. As long as they are trained, I’ll take your pup on daily neighborhood walks or even to the park if they’re a more active breed. Here, pets are treated like family, with full access to snuggles on the furniture if that’s something they’d enjoy. I also keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, or messages, so you’ll always know how they’re doing!

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 16 and have loved every second of it. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and even ducks, chickens, and goats! I will make sure that your pet gets as much love, care, and attention as they need while you are away. I’m a full time graduate student in Ferris State’s PharmD program, so when I’m not in class, I will be able to provide all of the love and care your pet needs! Making sure your pet is safe and well cared for is my top priority. I would love to take them on walks, play outside, and give them all the love they deserve while you're away. If your pet isn't as active or isn't an outdoor animal, I'm happy to provide indoor love and care as well.

“Shelby has been a wonderful sitter for my cats 🐈‍⬛ She provided flexible and detailed communication during drop-in visits 🩵”

About: I have two dogs of my own, and I’ve worked hard with dog training classes! I love dogs and spending time with them. I’ll treat your dog like they are my own! I’ve helped friends and family with their dogs, and they continue to ask and rely on me. I work full-time, but I always make time in my daily schedule with my dogs. I can fit your dog in and check as much as you request! My dogs are well loved! They have plenty of toys, taken for fetch every night, and walked multiple times a day. They are like our children to us. We spend all our time with them and love them to death. Anyone who knows me, can vouch for our sweet girls!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was about 8 years old. I have experience taking care of and training my own dogs, many hours of volunteer work at a local animal shelter, and worked part-time as an assistant dog trainer at a board and train facility as well as currently employed part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, where there are dogs of many different sizes, ages, breeds, temperaments, etc. I can confidently work with and walk a variety of different breeds and temperaments. I am currently a college student with a full time college schedule. However, I have a lot of time gaps that would make me well suitable to come check in and care for your pet. Living in a college dorm I cannot bring any pets to me, however I can follow any and all instructions on how to properly care for your precious fur baby.

“She took great care of our two cats, sent lots of picture updates, gave medicine, and is reliable! Second time having her help us and would book again”

About: I adore dogs and exercise. I will take dogs out on long and enjoyable walks and give them another reason to love life!! I’ll give so much attention and exercise care to your dogs! I am working a full time job from home. I am free to walk dogs in the evenings after work, weekends, and maybe walks on my lunch breaks during the middle of the day. I have a small little 2 year old dog at home that has taught me the love and attention necessary to raise a happy dog and how to show them lots of love. I have had many dogs as I grew up as well so I know how to take care of a dog that I didn’t have a direct hand in training. I love all dogs and want them to non stop tail wag their way through life.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and have helped with whelping, shots, to finding them new homes. I have trained dogs also! I will always treat them as my own and they will be well socialized. I am currently working full time at a family owned business. I am free from Friday-Sunday every weekend. I can take smaller dog with me to work (30#) or less. I have 30 wooded acres in the country. I have a large yard, not fenced but have a wireless collar system if I need to use it. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab neutered male, he is very playful and loves other dogs. I have 3 kids ages 10,7,2. Who I have taught to respect all animals and know the responsibility of taken care of them. I am willing to meet to pick up and drop off also.

“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”
