âMakenzie was a great dog walker! Super friendly, punctual and great communication. I love that she could use a rover card so that I could see where Moe got to walk. Thanks a ton! 10/10!â

âJasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!â


âRebooking with Katie because she is the best! Our dog wonât often let us dry off her paws, and she was able to dry them after a rainy walk. Our dog already trusts her and that says a lot!â

âNorah was amazing! Great communication, punctual , uses rover cards properly so you can see where and how far they walked, and she was willing to take Moe for 30+ minute walks in this bitter cold! She never skimped on walking time and she came over for a meet and greet. 10/10!â

âI would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus đâ

âBrian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?â


About: Animals are my passion! I have professionally worked with dogs for 4 years and have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have two cats and one dog of my own at home. I can assure you that with my personal and professional experience that your fur baby will be in good hands! I work full time as a dog groomer so I have a lot of daily experience caring for them. On my days off I am free anytime to drop in or walk your pup. Please check my calendar to see which days I am available. I am also available before or after work on days marked unavailable (depending on the time). Please message me if you have any questions about this! While in your home for drop in visits or picking up your pup for walks you can expect instructions to be followed and everything kept exceptionally tidy. And of course, you can expect them to be showered with love and lots of play time! I will send as many pictures as you want!
âRicardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardoâs a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.â

About: Warm Greetings! I offer compassionate, kind presence, responsible care, and careful attention to your pets and home, establishing quality relationships with pet owners. My approach in caring for all animals includes unconditional love, patience, responsibility, gentleness, and understanding. Serving furry friends and the families who love them is my passion and fills my heart with joy. Iâve always cherished animals, and have the attention to detail it requires to nurture them. My heart and home has hosted a variety of pets- three energetic Jack Russel Terriers, two sweet tabby cats, and a multitude of small furry, feathered, scaly, and finned animals- including rabbits, chickens, parrots, reptiles, rodents & more! My professional experience has been so rewarding and includes over 10 years of pet sitting and dog walking. I am certified in wildlife rehabilitation and Pet CPR. Iâve volunteered at animal shelters and rescues throughout the country âBest Friends Animal Society: Los Angeles, Fur Baby Rescue, Paws of Coronado, and Southeastern Guide Dogs, a facility that trains service dogs for those with vision loss as well as for disabled veterans. Iâve cared for cats and dogs of all ages from seniors, to small puppies and kittens. I love all breeds, and have experience caring for small to medium dogs, (who can resist lap-dog snuggles?) like terriers dachshunds, pugs, and large dogs like Poodles, Doodles, and Retrievers, and Pitties. When sitting for dogs and cats, I spend quality, consistent time with them, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and habits. This allows for developing trust and sweet friendship! I take your beloved pups for daily walks, go to the park, and on runs. We will indulge in lots of playtime together, sharing affection, treats, tummy rubs, and snuggles galore. I also love to give gentle doggy and kitty massages. My communication is flexible based on your needs, but you can always look forward to great communication with me- Including check-ins, and photo and video updates, so you feel in connection with your pet. If you are on vacation, and would like space, tranquility and quiet time off of the phone, I will provide that, and only send vital updates when needed. If a question or issue arises, I quickly reach out, and respond promptly with efficiency. I respect your home and keep your property tidy, clean, organized, and well looked-after, going above and beyond to leave your place in excellent condition for your return. A little about me personally: I lead a quiet and calm pace of life, love being surrounded by nature, green open spaces and especially water- lakes, rivers, pools, ponds, oceans, waterfalls. Some of my interests are meditation, yoga, contemplation, reading, singing, playing guitar and harmonium, art, design, interiors, dance, poetry, literature, writing, creative expression, philosophy, theology, Eastern wisdom cultures (India, Tibet, South East Asia), ancient cultures, Ayurveda, naturopathy, travel, visiting temples and holy places, permaculture, botany, gardening, biology, environmental science, psychology, consciousness, and working to serve humanity, and harmonize our global community. My focus in life is on continually cultivating wisdom, prayer, morality, loving kindness, compassion, joy, and a purposeful existence for the benefit of others, overcoming challenges, and deepening in love, friendliness, openness, and gratitude on a daily basis. I eat a vegetarian diet, and am completely alcohol, drug, and substance free. My daily schedule is generally open for pet care and walks, especially in the afternoons and evenings. My mornings are reserved for meditation, contemplation, singing practice, and creative activities. When I am pet sitting, my morning routine includes pet care and walks. I am attentive to pets throughout the day when pet sitting in your home, and enjoy hanging out with your dog or cat and keeping them company whether we are inside or outside.
âDaniel is a very reliable and responsible dog walker. He has walked our two big Huskey-German Shepherds multiple times and weâve always had great experiences. Each time the communication has been excellent and he always sends fantastic photos of our pups. We feel fortunate to be able to rely on Daniel, when weâre out of town.â

âTori was absolutely wonderful. One of my dogs is shy and she adored Tori on sight. Timely and detailed reports about eating and walking behaviors. I'll use Tori again on my next trip to Grand Rapids.â

âAva was fantastic!! She was available super last minute and walked our pup twice on the day. It was our pupâs first time being walked by someone through Rover and she won her over immediately. Very grateful!â

Eastgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kasidee is fantastic! My dogs can be shy when walking with someone new but they warmed to her right away. She has a clear passion for animals and treating them with love and kindness. The photos and post walk updates were always great and adorable. Highly recommended!

Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! Sheâs always on time, incredibly friendly, and clearly loves spending time with him. I really appreciate the care and attention she givesâshe doesnât just rush through the walks but truly engages with my dog. One day when it was raining and he didnât want to go outside, Sydney stayed and played with him indoors instead, which meant a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Marina does a great job communicating with us on how things are going or went with our dog. We have had her walk our puppy several times - sheâs always on time, stayed the whole time and played with him when he didnât want to walk. Really appreciate her pictures as well!

Kinsey took great care of my puppy. She communicated well and provided high quality photos. She was on time and walked my puppy for the full amount. She took a few moments to greet my puppy to make sure he was comfortable with her before walking. Thank you Kinsey!
