Dog Walkers in Big Rapids, MI

“We just started having Karen walk our dog, and she’s wonderful! She is very flexible with our schedule and changes, and she is consistent with showing up! We love get pictures while our dog is out on a walk! We are looking forward to many more walks with her!”

“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

“Kelly is great with animals of all shapes, kinds and sizes! She always takes good care of any pet - whether or not they're her own. She tends to think of any animal as more of a part of the family than a pet. She is very responsive, available short notice and will listen to any type of need you/your pet might have. I couldn't think of a more perfect person to watch your babies while you're away!”

“Thank you! I know Marley enjoys her walks with you!”

“Samantha is an extremely caring individual, EXTREAMLY towards animals, she’s a dog lover for sure and a dog mom herself, I’ve had her take care of my dog for the last 3 years whenever I’m not able to, she always takes him on walks, feeds him, baths him and just overall keeps him happy and healthy, she’s an amazing dog handler as well!”

“I’m happy to have found Brooke to watch our pup for the weekend. She was extremely communicative and friendly. I appreciated the photos and videos she shared of our dog on walks and enjoying her stay. We’ll definitely consider using Brooke again in the future!”

“Nathan has been a great caretaker of our pets. He is a loving and caring pet caregiver. He likes animals and treats them with respect and dignity. He is diligent at making sure their household needs are provided for. He is a safe, honest, and reliable person. I would recommend Nathan for pet walking, pet sitting, or housesitting.”

About: I have cared for many families' pets in my hometown, looking after a wide variety of animals—from guinea pigs to dogs. I’m experienced with pets of different sizes and needs, and I enjoy giving them the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student who has classes during the week with a significant amount of time between each class. During the week I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet! In my household, I typically will go outside and watch my dog whenever he needs to be outside. In my client's homes, I usually will follow your specific directions and ask questions about anything that may be unclear.

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! I’m currently only working part time on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups throughout the week! I’m available for boarding on weekends starting at Friday’s at 6pm and ending on Sunday’s at 6pm (contact for other arrangement if needed), where your pets will have my complete attention and care-and lots of extra snuggles! Whether it’s a weekday walk/check-in or a weekend stay, I’ll always make sure your pets feel at home and loved in my care. 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!

“Emily has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! We have had her come stay at our house multiple times and the dogs have fallen in love with her. She has taken them for walks around the yard and spending time playing with them! She has been super responsive and even has sent us updates when we have been out of town! We have felt super confident having her watch our two dogs! Also, we got back from a trip and she had already left and when we let the dogs out they didn’t care that we were home, they went running around the house looking for Emily! She is definitely the person to hire!”

“Thank you for always taking such good care of my pets!!! Your the best!!! Thank you for being so great!! It's a relief to know my dogs are taken care of when we are away!”

“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I understand the unique responsibility of caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I also understand how breeds differ between each other and can adapt accordingly. I am currently taking summer classes and have plenty of time to spend with some deserving dogs. I am free most of the days other than a few hours for school. I know many different locations and paths for walks. I know the area well and can provide a safe variety of walking locations for your pup.
