Dog Walking in Garfield Park, Grand Rapids, MI

“Katie is amazing! We are new to GR and were nervous about finding someone to walk our dog. Katie was incredible! She was 100% on time, she listened to what our dog needed (wanted to turn around early on their walk) and then spent the remainder of their time hanging out! I could not be more thankful to have someone like Katie!”

“I 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 😊”

“Norah 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!”

Rob P.

“Suzanne did a great job with our 4 1/2 month old puppy. We came home to a happy puppy who was still a little tired from the play session with Suzanne!”

Linda C.

“Brian 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 ?”

Natalie S.

“Ashley was super professional! She asked all the essential questions that communicated to me that she cared about my dog's safety and the best care! Highly recommend!”

“Jasmine 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!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of many kinds since I was a little girl, I love all animals of any size! I have been taking care of my dog layla for 8 years. I have a flexible schedule and am available every day to provide pet care, as I am attending school online. This allows me to dedicate consistent and attentive time to looking after pets, ensuring their needs are met throughout the day! I am very attentive to your pet’s needs, always ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I take the time to understand their individual habits, preferences, and health requirements, so I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them at all times.

“Ricardo 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. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!

“Michelle took great care of my dogs with regular walks while I was on vacation. I came home to happy, healthy boys! I would hire Michelle again; she will take great care of your pets!”

“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

“Becki was reliable, always texted me and went above and beyond for both my dogs! Would recommend for sure!”

About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!

About: I have had pets my whole life in addition to caring and loving other’s fur babies when they have needed a trusting caring person to be with them. From my own to caring for my friends, family and neighbors pets, I have experience with everything from hermit crabs, hamsters and lizards, to birds, cats, dogs and horses. In most cases, my love for animals is greater than my love for people, and I do my best to ensure not only my pets but the pets of those I take care of are treated with all the love, kindness and care I can give. I work full-time remotely where I can make my own schedule in most cases. This makes it easy to care for pets on a schedule and time that best fits them. The best thing possible is to make sure the pet feels the most comfortable to cause them the least amount of stress and anxiety as possible.

About: I'm a devoted lifelong animal lover who's cared for cats and dogs since I was 7. My fur babies are my children that I love more than anything! I'm very committed and look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) to care for and love them like my own! My schedule is flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I have availability on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby(s) company and feel welcome! I can easily crate your pet(s) if needed. For any stay at my home, I need to do meet and greets beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I hope this is ok with you. This applies to new, prospective clients only.

“He did a great job!”
