“Karen is amazing. She walks our large dog twice a week. She has been an amazing help and it would be hard to find anyone else that does a better job. We definitely recommend!”

Sydney T.

“We love having Kristen help us out with our dog Mae. She follows instructions perfectly and has helped us a lot with reinforcing training commands. Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”

“Baylee was wonderful! She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of our very shy and particular German Shepherd. We just moved into a new house so we were worried about how he would do when we were gone but he did great with Baylee! We came home to a happy, healthy dog and we will definitely be using her again to watch Mav 😊”

About: I’ve always been around all types of animals/dogs, taking care of them and always been reliable to treat their needs and make them very happy. I work full time but I make my own schedule so I am still pretty flexible to help! It doesn’t matter when, I will always make time to make sure you pets get some love. I would do anything for my dogs and your pets. I would give them the proper care and meet their needs no matter what the situation.

About: I’ve always had dogs and love caring for animals. I lost my beloved dog and I miss her wildly. Spending time with dogs allows me to honor that bond and brings me genuine joy; I truly enjoy getting to know each animal unique personality. I treat every animal woth the same kindness, patience and love I gave to my own dog. I have a very flexible schedule and I can give pets the attention, supervision and companionship they deserve 24/7! I don’t work so I’m completely free to take care of your fur babies. We travel extensively in our motorhome, but we are based in Michigan. Our Michigan home has an acre of woods for the dog to enjoy. There are no roads nearby and it is very safe and quiet.

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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I love dogs unconditionally and love to play with them, I feed them when needed, I can give baths, and I love to take them on walks. My friends and family have relied on me to dog-sit whenever I was available to do so. I will be at college very soon, so weekends are great for me to walk dogs and care for pets. Also evenings will work well for me. I have a pretty open schedule for awhile I just need to work around classes. I have a fenced in yard and a very playful energetic dog. He is very sweet but he is like our baby so we don’t like to bring other dogs in just because he can get jealous and we don’t like to risk it.

About: Hello my name is Dani and I have had a dog personally for my whole life but caring for one myself for 8 years until he passed away. I currently have a GSD named Morgan that is 6 years old. She does love other dogs. I love animals, especially dogs! I am available on weekdays and weekends and very flexible and reliable. I would love to stop in and play with your dog or take them for a walk, or even both! I would love to hear more about your dog and have them playing and enjoying life while you are away from home. Hope to hear from you and your dog(s) soon! Please feel free to contract me through Rover. I am currently a SAHM to a little boy who loves to watch our dog and other dogs run and play. I am looking to make extra money and stay active with my little one as much as possible. I have a off leash trained dog but able to walk and long line any dog that isn't off leash trained and well as a crate or exercise pen if needed for others animals.

“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.”

Becca G.

“Alaina is a great communicator, kind and excited to spend time with our dog. She even took her out in the rain for a walk. If you book her you won't regret it.”

Kourtney G.

“The best care my pup has ever received. There are no words to recommend Eden enough. Took care of my dog like it was their own. Georgie just had a great day.”

Marcus W.

“She was very nice and was very helpful to Splash. He seemed very excited to see her and was very upset when she left. She was very nice and welcomed my dog in open arms!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 3 years old. I have dog sat for a variety of people back in Montana and in Michigan. I'm super excited to meet new people and dogs! I also get along with other animals as well. Growing up I had pigs, chickens, horses, and a dog. I have dog sat for other families since I was 13 and have been dog walking since I was 10 just for neighbor dogs. I have dog sat a three month old puppy for 3 months while his mom went out of the country. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. If you need to know anything else just let me know I'm glad to answer any questions. I love me some doggy time 😊😊 I am currently working full time first shift but outside of that I can spend as much time as need with the pets. I can also extend my lunches to check on them during my lunch as well. I can ensure your dog will be safe while you are away and worry free. I like to send lots of pictures and updates of how they are doing!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was child. My family raised our family dog since she was a puppy and even potty trained her. I also have experience teaching dogs commands as well. My schedule has changed! I’m willing to board only on weekdays. Drop-ins and walks on any day of the week! Let me know if you have my questions! I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam as they please. My home also has plenty of space to house them and to ensure that they can have whatever set up they need. I’m willing to aid in potty training as well.

“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”

About: I live and am registered on this app in Twin Lake, MI so I will show up in that radius of search, but have places to stay near Spring Lake, MI, Zeeland, MI and Coloma, MI and can help out in those areas as well. If you know anyone in these areas who needs pet watching feel free to connect them with me. All prices listed can be negotiated by either me or clients upon confirming more details (distance to home, time of stay, ease of pet care, amount of pets, etc.) none of the listed prices are fixed but keep in mind they are an average charge. "Nightly" charge includes a "full day & full night" charge. If you wish for only a "full day" or only a "full night" of in-home stay at your home, the price will be $65. My home is not publicly available but the option isn't completely off-limits; we can discuss the possibility if it's absolutely preferred/necessary for you/your pet(s). I have access to 70+ acres of land in the family for safe dog running, including the option for guarded dog socialization at the house, if you allow. I know a bit of the surrounding areas and go on lots of outdoor adventures (river fishing, lake fishing at our Baldwin cabin, ice fishing (our Baldwin cabin & other locations), mushroom hunting, general hiking, outdoor workouts and jogging, etc...) and would love to have your pet experience these exciting trips with me, depending on your comfort. I volunteered at Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon and had the opportunity to interact with many wolf-dogs, general farm animals, and other wild animals that were rescued. One of the wolf-dogs, named Bear, was particularly picky & known to have been violent with other workers but warmed up to me well on my second day working and I had no issues with him. I've always had a dog growing up, limited to one 40-60 pound at a time. I owned my own German Shepherd/Labrador mix for about a year but the dog stayed with my ex when splitting in 2016. I've been caring for my own pets at home (including cats & fish), as well as spending time with friend's & family's pets (including birds and a variety of your basic farm animals) since I can remember. 26 years of watching Cesar Millan and Crocodile Hunter with my family & living with & encountering several animals has instilled in me the skill to properly love and care for your pet. My boyfriend of 7 years (Tom Wall) grew up on a deer farm with multiple dogs constantly around as well, so if you are away or the vet is unreachable he has professional skills to assist, only if you allow. I also have close friends that are vet techs and can be reached for emergencies if necessary. As well, Tom had a blind senior Jack Russel who took oral medicine by syringe, and I've worked with similar needs on past dogs. I tend to be more strict when it comes to training dogs in certain areas (jumping up on people, obsessive/constant barking, leash tugging/distracted wandering, coming when called, biting, aggressive behavior while playing or eating, etc.) but have a very lenient heart for snugs on the couch, snackies, and socializing with other people/animals. This is all adjusted to however you allow as long as it's safe for all involved. If sitting for a puppy, I am willing and able to train for basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, gentle, etc.) all dependent on what you as the owner re comfortable with. The reality is, I do not currently have any pets because my boyfriend & I are not home often enough and understand fully that just our love and adoration alone isn't enough to provide a full, quality life for a pet. We need to be able to dedicate hours each day to outdoor time and genuine training and bonding, but right now we just don't have those resources for our own pets. Until the day we are both available enough to fully care for an animal, I will spend as much time with friend's pets, family's pets, neighbor's pets, or catch a request on here and meet a new pup. Every experience I get with someone else's pets helps train me for the future I am eagerly awaiting. I can guarantee I already love your pet and want you to know you are always leaving them with an honest, knowledgable and responsible sitter so they will be safe and content while you are out. Any mile over 15 from my staying place (in any city location) I ask to add $0.50/mile to cover the gas, travel time, and a little extra wear on my vehicle. That includes travel to/from your house *for each drop-in visit*, and each all-day visit will be a one-time to/from travel cost. (example: you live 20 miles away and need me to drop-in twice, this will be a drop-in charge + $10 for extra gas to & from, while an all-day visit will be all-day charge + $5 for gas charge.) If I will already be in the area for some reason (perhaps another client) I will not charge this extra gas fee. I am already an active person who travels often so being able to pass through an area while travelling & get in a quick walk with a dog or drive out & stay a few days with a pet is something so regular for me. Caring for a pet in a client's home will go as to detail as the owner requests as possible. I want to be sure to care for their pets the same way they would, or better, if possible, and leave their home looking as though I was never around. If I offer care in my home (currently unavailable) the pet would be a big part of my & my boyfriend's regular outdoor adventures (if owner allows) and may even meet & socialize with multiple other pets (if owner allows). I have flexible jobs and am able to provide ample attention to your pet that is required. I jog regularly and I will enjoy bringing your dog with me on the nearby trails. I do not have my house publicly open to sitting at my house. If you absolutely need your pet to be watched outside of your home, we can discuss the details when the time comes.

About: I have been around dogs basically all my life. Most of my experience is with larger dogs including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherds. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs including giving medications and carrying large dogs up and down stairs. For about a year now, I have been helping my girlfriend take care of clients' pets in their homes. This has given me the opportunity to care for smaller dogs, as well as a puppy. We have watched a number of cats as well, and I grew up with two cats in the house, so I have experience with basic cat care too (feeding, cleaning litter, playing). As of right now, my schedule is very open. I am between jobs, seeking new employment, so I can take care of your pets any time of day, any day of the week, aside from potential interviews here and there. I would however be more than happy to make pet care a “full-time” effort, should there be enough interest. I will update this section as soon as my employment changes. Whether it be a walk or overnight pet care, making sure your pets are comfortable is of the utmost importance. I do my best to let them know that even in your absence, they are loved and cared for. This is demonstrated with lots of attention, pettings, and playtime, while of course still giving your pet the time and space needed to adjust to having me around. Also know that while in your home, I do my best to keep out of your privacy and respect your home, keeping it clean and keeping things in their place.

About: My wife and I have always had a dog with us. We have tons of space for dog to run and play with friends! We have both dog sat for other friends and families and would love to continue that in our new home! :) I work only 10 minutes from our home and have the flexibility to be home as much as possible. My wife also works from home part time as well. We have plenty of space for dogs to run and play. However, we do not have a fenced in yard. Our dog is trained to stay in the yard with our supervision.
