Dog Walking Cone

About: I have been around dogs and pets since I was very young. We had a family dog I helped take care of and all three of my siblings have had either a dog or cat that I would pet sit. My roommate also currently owns a puppy that I help out with as well. I am currently a full time student at GVSU and I have a part time job but it is very flexible. I can always make scheduling work as long as we communicate! I do not board other dogs very often unless it is dire. But trust and safely will depend on where you live and what you and your pet are comfortable with.

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my home and I just love animals! I used to volunteer at the humane society, and I was trained to work with cats and dogs, I have over 100 hours of volunteering at the Huron Valley Humane Society. I am new to Rover, but I’ve pet sat outside of this app before! I am currently working part-time, my schedule changes from day to day but for the most part I am available 7 days a week and can check in up to 3 times a day with your animal! I will prioritize each pets safety, comfort and routine every visit. I will also ensure that I follow all instructions required by owners and am also happy to communicate updates/photos so they feel confident in their pets wellbeing. Overall, I want the animal and the owner to feel as comfortable as possible when working with me!

About: Hello, my name is Jaime. I’ve been a lifelong dog and cat owner looking to care for your pets in your home. I am self-employed, and I’ve been a dog owner for the last 30 years. I currently do not have any pets of my own in my home. Looking forward to meeting you and helping with your pets! I can work with most schedules and I am available any day of the week for short or extended bookings. I have experience with all ages from pups/kittens to elderly dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medications and supplements, as well as assisting with pets with mobility challenges. I primarily watch your fur babies at your home so they can be in their own comfortable environment. Could discuss boarding at my place as an option if preferred.

“Met with Alise for a meet and greet and she was flexible, personable, punctual and our picky dog loves her! Can't wait to have her come more often!”

“Grace was so helpful with my puppy when I had to be away all day for the first time! She even took her on a walk in the rain. Daisy loved her! Grace will be the top of the list if I need help again!”

About: Recently, my pets have passed do to old age, so I have a lot of free time to give animals all the attention they need. I've been pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and chickens for the past 5 years. I am currently attending EMU, starting law school in the fall. I currently have one small dog. In past jobs, like child care I had to also walk, feed, and play with cats or dogs and now I want to go into it full time. I work full time at a law firm near downtown Ann Arbor. I have flexibility to do mid-day stops for animals if needed. My weekends I am fully available. I do have one small dog of my own. I prefer to do drop in home visits. If you need boarding I would need a doggie meet and greet for the pups.

About: Hello! My name is Alexis and I am a GVSU Alumni. I was also on the track and field team so I love to run and be outside! I do well with all different types of breeds and would treat your pet as my own (I have a goldendoodle back at home named Bentley). When he comes up to visit me, we love to go on walks, go to the pet store and even the doggie Beach! I have recently just got a Mini Aussie puppy of my own named Asher and he will melt your heart!

I would be so happy to have your to watch and walk! I work a hybrid schedule for work so I am able to work from home! I have a great schedule with my own as we go out multiple times a day and even go on 30 mins walks during my lunch time. I have a dog of my own who loves guests and plenty of space to play and go in walks outside! If needing their own space I have multiple rooms or if needed- crate to let them wind down.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I love taking care of them! I have experience with walking them, feeding them, and keeping them company :) I plan to work part-time this summer, but I don’t have anything set in stone yet. Other than that, I don’t have many conflicts. I will probably be free most days and evenings of the week. You can trust me to care for your pet in almost any way they need. I am thorough and will always make sure they are healthy and happy in my care.

About: I provide personalized, one on one care tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs.

I’m very detail oriented and will always stick to your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any specific preferences you share. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I have a patient, gentle approach and am especially comfortable working with anxious or more sensitive dogs, helping them feel safe, settled, and cared for at their own pace. I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I treat every dog like part of my family and aim to provide a dependable, high quality experience that gives you complete peace of mind.

Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I always provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Jaime did a great job walking our old girl. She needs some special attention and he was able to provide that for us. We’re very protective of our dog and he made us feel at ease. Communication was also very good.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.
