I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible! I am currently working at a marina but am very flexible to work around that schedule for mornings, evenings, weekends and weekdays. I have a car and am able to come on short notice. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but live just down the road from a fenced dog park.

“Traci was really good with Tommy and they got along great! I could tell Tommy enjoyed himself cause he had a big smile on his face when he came home. I will use Traci again for sure.”

About: I have had family dogs ever since I was born, and have been fully responsible for them as early as 15 years old. I have provided house-sitting and doggy daycare for numerous family friends, and have taken care of my mom’s 3 dogs - one of which is a Great Dane (huge) and a senior dog that needs help getting up and down stairs. I am available for dog walking in afternoons during the week, and certain weekends given my personal schedule. Depending on your home location, I can do drop-ins during my lunch hour to let them out / play with them! I am flexible so just reach out and ask! I currently have a senior beagle and live in an apartment. Therefore I am primarily focused on going to your home for dog walking needs!

“Jennifer is great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she was available short notice from us which we appreciated! Thanks for taking care of our fur baby Jennifer!”
About: History: My family adopted two puppies when I was in high school and I trained them both. Although they remained in my mom’s care, I continued to pet sit them throughout their long 18-year and 15-year lives (so, I’m experienced with senior care!). As an adult I adopted two dogs from two different animal rescue organizations. My first dog, Odin, was rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. He was not trusting of humans, had significant health issues, and had become quite feral. Odin quickly became my soul dog. I worked very hard to gain his trust, give him proper training, give him proper medical care, and give him the best, most adventurous life I could. He passed away a couple of years ago as a happy, healthy, well-trained, and so loved pup. He continued to have health issues throughout his life because of how poorly he was treated earlier in life, so I am very experienced with dogs that have special treatment, diets, and/or needs. It is because of how well I was able to rehabilitate Odin that I was allowed to adopt my second dog, Brida (whom I still have!). Brida was also rescued from a situation of severe neglect and abuse. With Odin’s help, and a lot of love and patience, Brida is now a well-trained, loving girl that has become my absolute best friend. She still carries trauma from things that happened prior to me adopting her, so she’s timid and is still not very trusting of adult men or reactive dogs. Children make her nervous, mostly because she hasn’t had much long term exposure with kids. Brida only ever interacts with other animals that I walk and/or take care of after owner consent and success meet-and-greets. Brida has been on longterm pet care stays with me with a couple of regular clients, but she also enjoys staying at my Mom’s house for sleepovers, if need be! Brida ADORES all the dogs in her life - ranging from gentle giants to squirmy, energetic puppies - and loves playing chase. She does not understand how to play with dogs toys, so she will never steal another dog’s toy or bone (unless she has watched them use it first, and she’ll practice when she thinks no one is watching her). Brida is OBSESSED with cats. She respects kitty boundaries, and would follow them around in fascination all day everyday if she could. Present: I have availability year round, and a lot more availability during the summers. My services range from walks, check-ins, overnight care, and more. We look forward to getting to know our pawsome community here in West Michigan better! 🐾 My typical availability includes afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My summer schedule allows me to offer all day availability or multiple time frames of availability per day, with occasional restrictions. My dog, Brida, is fed twice a day (morning/evening), gets let out 3x per day, goes on 1-2 walks per day, and has free range of our living space. Outside, she is typically on a leash or stationary lead. I do have experience taking care of crate-trained pets as well. When providing long term care, I typically request a personalized schedule to be provided so I can best ensure a regular routine for the pet.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
About: I got my first dog when I was ten and had him for a good fifteen years. I still miss him constantly but playing and caring for other animals helps. I'm good with all dogs puppies-elderly and toy-BIG My main focus right now is school but it’s online and very flexible so I’m currently looking for ways to make money that are also flexible I make sure the animals have access to water and their stimulants constantly and keep things like their food and walk times as close to their regular schedule as possible as possible
“Jamie is so good with Winston! She was very careful to understand his special needs and quirks. We are so happy to have had her help us and would definitely recommend her to my friends! :-)”
About: I am a huge animal lover and will gladly take care of any fur baby. I follow directions and strive to make sure that the animal and owner our satisfied with their service This is my main job as of this time, but I also have a volunteer work that is flexible for me and for the furbabies that have been entrusted to me. I always make sure that they have proper medication and food, whether that be healthy human food snacks or their own dog food. I also check for ticks and know how to remove them if necessary
About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work part time out of the house and part time in my home. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.

Samantha walked our 3 wheatens for about 3 months. We were delighted to meet her and have her get to know our very energetic kids. They loved seeing her when she drove up to walk them. She is friendly and patient, and we will miss her. Hopefully, we can find another walker who measures up to her abilities and kindness. Thank you, Samantha.

As of June 2026, there are 1,318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ferrysburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ferrysburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ferrysburg.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ferrysburg. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
