“Our first visit. Rhys was immediately comfortable. Clare was on time and most pleasant. Our schedules done quite mesh yet however I hope we can work out something. Will definitely be calling again.”

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.
“Heather is so attentive and caring. Timmy really loves her and I know she takes good care of him. He’s an old man with some health issues and she is so gentle and careful with him. She’s the best!!”
About: I began working at my hometowns vet clinic when I was 16, where I gained a lot of experience with animal handling and care. I continue to work at the clinic during my school breaks, and I enjoy walking dogs at the animal shelter during my free time on campus. I have pet sat for many friends and family members over the years, which has given me experience caring for both dogs and cats of a variety of sizes and temperaments. I am an undergraduate student at MSU, studying animal science! My class schedule has many gaps, so there are lots of opportunities for me to check in on your pet throughout the day. I provide care through feeding, walking, and keeping your pet company while you are busy or out of town! I am unable to house pets due to living in an apartment that does not allow them, but I am able to provide care for them throughout the day while they remain in the familiar environment of their own home!
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
About: I have been on rover for almost 3 years now, I have experience in all care fields (child, adult, and animal), and am also a licensed massage therapist. I have 6 adorable Pugbulls and one cat.I've cared for fish, cats, and dogs. In a 30min time block I can usually walk a little over a mile with a dog, even if they want to stop and sniff around a bit. I love all animals and am always willing to look after new types of animals! Unfortunately I’m not currently taking on new weekly walks, I will update this should that change. Currently my schedule is very flexible and open during the whole week. Should that schedule change I will update this description and let any clients I’m working with know. I have a very flexible work schedule as a massage therapist, if a day isn’t available I will have it updated as unavailable on my rover calendar. I always make sure to allow all pets to come to me at their own pace without making them feel like I’m invading their personal space. This helps them be comfortable with me quickly and feel safe in their home.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for multiple years. I have dealt with puppies, multiples cats/dogs at a time, and etc. I love to go on long walks and am looking for a walking buddy (or buddies) to take along :) I currently am a senior at Michigan State University. I am available weekends and most weekdays for walks, check ins, or anything else you may need! I have an indoor cat which I take care of. However, I am looking for service where I can drive to you and make your life easier!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of a wide range, from very small dogs to very large dogs.

You can trust that I will treat your pet as my own, providing the highest level of safety and comfort for them in your home.
“Sally was great! Very responsive and available on short notice. She paid close attention to Beanie and noticed when he was struggling due to the snow/salt (small paws) and brought him inside for pets for the remainder of the time. He loved it and I appreciated he got some extra attention while I worked! Will definitely rebook. 🐾”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I grew up with a loving cat who was my constant companion, which sparked my lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for a sweet cat, an energetic Chocolate Labrador, a gentle giant Bullmastiff full of love, and even two lively Chihuahuas at the same time! From playful small breeds to big cuddly dogs and independent cats, I’m comfortable and confident providing attentive, affectionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have pet sit for several friends and neighbors just not officially on Rover! I work full-time and walk several times a day throughout the neighborhood and have tons of energy. I will love on your fur baby like no other and give them lots of love and attention! I am sure to share details, pictures, videos and provide a play-by-play of your pets activities, mood, and pee/poo schedule :) very trustworthy and reliable!
About: I have been taking care of dogs in 2017, when I was in fifth grade! Since then, I've become the trustworthy dog and house-sitter for my neighborhood, and have taken care of multiple households of pets at the same time! I also love to be active, and would love to take your pup on long (or short!) walks! I am home for summer for college, and have plenty of time to love on some dogs! I can walk dogs for ranging periods of time at any point during the day, and drop in at any time during the day! In clients home, I will make sure to keep pups in the approved areas, and give them lots of care during drop ins. I prefer to spend more time with the animals than less, and make sure they are loved on during the long days!!
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University studying Kinesiology. I love staying active and have a passion for animals, so what better than combining the two together?! I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.
About: I absolutely adore animals, so much so that I plan on making them my career, I am currently studying zoology. I have two dogs of my own which sadly couldn’t come with me to university so I’d love to make some new animal friends! I also have worked as a volunteer for a veterinary clinic as well as the animal care department in a zoo. I also have helped take care of my neighbors 9 cats, parrot, and lizard for extended periods of time, all of which had health issues so I have experience with administering many different kinds of medication. I am currently attending MSU so I will have to work around classes but I am available Friday, Saturday, Sunday all day and I am available in the afternoon on Tuesdays and morning on Thursdays. I am incredibly detail oriented and will follow your directions for animal care to the letter. I am comfortable in any situation involving animals and am comfortable with any temperaments or health conditions. I have a great appreciation for animal behavior and will work to ensure your animal(s) will always be stress free, happy, and mentally stimulated when they are with me!
About: I grew up with 5 pets in the house, 3 dogs and 2 cats. I loved taking all the dogs on walks and playing with them on the beach or outside in the yard. And when I’m inside, I love chilling with the cats :) I am currently working part-time and am in my junior year at MSU. But I am more than happy to work out a schedule with you!

I am a fast learner and can adapt to new environments very well :)
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.

Leah was amazing! Took beanie’s walks on short notice even though it was an evening walk, which I’m so thankful for! She has great communication - her reports were so detailed and her pictures of Beanie were so cute. When I came home a few hours later, he was still tired so they clearly made the most of his 30 minute walk 🐶 We will definitely re-book with Leah!
Stop scrolling and click here . . . you have found your new dog walker! Tiana is wonderful, showed up on time, brought her own leash, took several pictures and even a video of my silly dog doing zoomies in the park, and updated me with bathroom breaks. And you have to applaud walking in Michigan winters! She communicates well and offers solutions for alternative days and times in order to navigate both our busy schedules. I highly recommend Tiana to be your pets new companion. 10+
Sally was great! Very responsive and available on short notice. She paid close attention to Beanie and noticed when he was struggling due to the snow/salt (small paws) and brought him inside for pets for the remainder of the time. He loved it and I appreciated he got some extra attention while I worked! Will definitely rebook. 🐾
Nicolas is very reliable and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate his attentiveness to my senior chihuahua. He really took the time to understand her needs and comfort levels. Arranging a meet-and-greet prior to the booking was one of the many ways he demonstrated how much he prioritizes that. I really loved the detailed notes, photos, and videos. He was so great with Mika, and I can tell she enjoyed her sessions with him too. I definitely recommend Nicolas and would love to use his services again.
