“Sara came over to meet my puppy and understand his needs before she did her drop in walk. I loved the pictures she sent me and a detailed note on how his first visit with her went :) Thank you Sara!!!!!”
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”
“Alixandra is great! She is super communicative, offered to meet Kane before walking him, and came to our home to get the run down on our Kelpie. She sent lots of pictures and updates and is just wonderful. Would definitely trust her with our pup again.”
About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.
“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”
“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”
“Theresa was very accommodating and took very good care of our Rosie. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. We will be using her again when we need someone!”
“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”
“Dean was amazing! I needed someone last minute and he accommodated for my request. Great communicator and my puppy enjoyed their interactions. Will definitely book again!”
“Sometimes luck is on your side. We chose Cara at random from possible Rover dog walkers, and it turns out she is a dream come true! Punctual, flexible, kind, funny, and smart, she has turned out to be exactly the right person for our needs and preferences. Pivo goes nuts with excitement when he sees her coming. He performs zoomies on walks, and even though she says he's tired out, will do them when he's back. We love her! Yay, Cara! Awesome job!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a 2 year old Standard poodle and a sweet kitty I’ve always loved learning about dogs breeds and dog behavior and have pet sat for many pets off of this app. I can do early mornings and late nights. And I can do drop ins sometimes during the middle of the day depending on the day. All days of the week. I will let your dog outside to potty if you have a fenced yard, or leash and take outside. After I clean up after your dog we can have some play time and water and fed on their schedule.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, for family and friends who are pet parents, I am their first choice when it comes to pet sitting. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelters and to me, the animal's well-being is my highest priority. I have a job with flexible work hours so I can always make time to take care of your best friend. I also work remotely so I can be with your pet for however long is needed. If I am at the client's house, I will follow any and all special instructions involving taking care of their pet. I will make sure the dog is fed, gets plenty of exercise, clean up any messes, and just make sure that they feel safe and cared for.
“Maggie is the best!! Our dogs were staying with my elderly parents while we were out of town and needed to be walked everyday. Maggie came to our rescue and walked them daily and gave them VIP treatment! Maggie is a dependable, professional loving care giver and we would definitely call her again to care for our dogs!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 7 and my mom brought home a beautiful plumpy golden retriever. I was responsible for many things like walking and feeding and training growing up. I’ve dedicated my whole summer to working with my other part time job and taking care of your dogs! I love animals and I think this is a great opportunity to get in my fix for a pet that I want super bad but can’t afford right now. I’m super gentle and loving, I love when dogs are playful and we have a good time together. I believe your dog is great hands.

About: I grew up on a farm in a small town. I don’t ever remember a time when our family didn’t have at least one dog! I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite, and my own dog Finn is considered family. I’ve taken a 6 week behavioral training course with a vet back in my hometown, I follow the AKC on social media, and love going to dog shows! I have an 8-5 job, but I work from home and my employer is very flexible! I can take time away as needed to care for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and my 12 year old dog was well socialized growing up! Since she’s a senior dog, she’s generally not interested in play and prefers to nap, but she tolerates younger dogs well as long as I can take some of their attention off of her.
About: I have two of my own cats and a puppy (who LOVES to play with other pups)! I will care and love each of your pets as if they were my own babies. People I know and love have trusted me with caring for their babies…walking them, making sure they were bathed and fed, and giving them all of the snuggles in the world. I haven’t let them down and I won’t let you down! I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to snuggle/play with your fur babies! I work Monday/Wednesday afternoons and Saturday/Sunday afternoons but am always willing to make the trips back and forth to make sure your babies are cared for! I will always be willing to come to your home and care for your babies. I know it can be a lot to move them around to different places, especially for the pet. That is why I prefer to travel to where they are so I can make my time with them as smooth as possible! I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to snuggle/play with your fur babies! I work Tuesday-Thursday mornings and Saturday/Sunday afternoons but am always willing to make the trips back and forth to make sure your babies are cared for! I have a puppy who LOVES company and loves to play with other pups so being able to bring her with me/having dogs comfortable with her would be amazing! If it doesn’t workout, that is okay! I will make sure your fur baby is cared for and loved no matter what!

I started out at doggie daycare and have been a groomer for 8+ years. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From puppies to seniors, from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands. They all have individual personalities and I love learning about each dog’s traits. I’ve always connected with dogs and am very passionate about taking care of them. I can also recommend certain products such as shampoo, brushes, harnesses, and leashes that will work best for your pet! I can promise you I will take wonderful care of your animals as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time at a grooming salon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I’m looking forward to spending some time with your pets during my off time! And if you’re in need of any grooming services stop in and see us at The Parchment Poodle! 🐩 I have worked with dogs of all temperaments, ages, breeds, and sizes. As for dog walking I have always had very good control over the animals, I’m not worried about being dragged, etc. I’m also very patient. Some dogs just like to stop and sniff everything and that’s cool with me! I go at their pace. I also have experience with dogs with special needs and seizures. As for drop ins. I will respect your home and can clean up any messes the dog has made inside or outside. As well as any feedings or special instructions that need to be carried out.
