“Highly recommend Shelby. She treats our dog just like her own, which is exactly what we want in someone who is involved with us and our dog. She is tuckered out after her walks and we love the updates we get!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.
“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”
“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”
About: I have had experience with mostly dogs for at least 20 years. I was involved in 4h training when my kids were younger, and am also currently employed as a certified positive enforcement dog trainer. I have 3 dogs of my own, and currently am training my new lab. I have a serious love for animals, and would love to help take care of yours. Pets are like family, and I will treat yours as I do my own family of pets. I will keep your pets safe when walking . I currently have a 3 1/2 year old labrador and also a 1 1/2 year old lab that I am working on training and I might be able to help you with that as well. Can't wait to meet your fur families really soon. Look forward to meeting you all. I can help you take care of your fur babies, however needed. I currently am doing some training with my new lab puppy, so we walk often. I have a fenced yard and other dogs to keep your fur baby company. I will love your animals like they are my own. I have a live for all animals.
“Sabrina was great. I needed someone last minute as my regular dog walker was going out of town. My dog has anxiety and takes time to warm up to people so I was worried he’d have a hard time. Sabrina was patient and all went well. I will most definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.
About: I am not kidding when I say I have years of experience. I currently work at a vet, so I’m learning everyday about pets. But this experience started years ago, watching dogs, cats , hedgehogs even since age 12. I have had my share of animal stories. I have experience with sick animals so administering medicine would not be a problem. I can go on multiple walks with your animal (usually dogs but my sister walks her cat ;) And if wanted, I do run so if that is something your animals would want, we could do that. I love animals , so I will make time for them whenever I can . Whether it be a night watching your animals or just a walk to help get their energy out, I’m down for it If you just need someone to keep your animal company, I can join it for a snuggle session. Or if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for a run to get those zoomies out.
About: I am in the veterinary medicine field, as a veterinary assistant, so caring for pets is my true calling whether that be medical care, physical care, or emotional care. Being in Vet Med I have experience in caring for all age ranges and special needs animals. I have had multiple dogs as a child and adult. I have been responsible for caring for multiple pets at a time by myself and have a good grasp on how to manage a multi pet household. I love to groom them and make them feel special and loved. I have a good sense of discipline when I need to use it. I love to just give them my full attention to give them each of their own needs. Rather that be playing fetch, going on walks, cuddles, laying in the grass, or just time alone. I believe that's what every animal needs in their life is just a little bit of love and compassion from us. I work at the Animal Emergency Hospital. You’re always welcome to reach out and see if I’m available! I always do my best to be there for you and your pet. I have my 2 dogs at my home. One of my dogs does not get along with other dogs so therefore I do not offer to care for your pet in my own home.
About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and helped take care of them in every way you can think of. I also adopted my own puppy who was abused by his previous owner. I raised him from 4 months and have learned how to deal with fear aggression towards strangers and other animals as well as major separation anxiety. I also love with and care for two wonderful cats! I’m excited to take care of your animals just as if they were my own! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work on my own hours. With that being said, I typically can work with your time if I am not already booked! I will do whatever is asked of you to take care of your pet/s. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your beloved pets, but I can assure you that I will water, feed, walk, play with, etc. to make sure your loved one is well cared for.
About: My name is Chelsea. I am a United States Navy Veteran and West Michigan native who finds purpose and passion through caring for animals. Unfortunately, we cannot bring our beloved pets everywhere we go in life, which is why I understand how necessary it is to find a trustworthy, reliable, and loving sitter. From traveling to pet sit in southern California, fostering a German sheperd for 9 months, or driving down the road to give some love at lunchtime to local animals, I'm your sitter! I'm currently working part time, and am able to dedicate time to care for pet care. I look forward to discussing time-frames that are needed to give your pet everything they need to live happy and healthy! While responsible for your pets, there will be keen attention to detail to maintain safety. Leashes, toys, and interactions with other animals will be monitored accordingly.
About: I am an Animal Behavior College graduate where I studied canine behavior and training. I have lots of experience with both working and training through difficult dog behaviors and dogs with high anxiety and fear towards different things. I have had pets my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have tons of experience with administering medications, nail trims, bathing, and daily grooming and would be happy to help provide those for your pets. I have worked at the Humane Society Of West Michigan and have volunteered at the Kent County Animal shelter where I absolutely loved working with every kind of dog or cat you could think of! I have a very flexible schedule seeing as I make my own work schedule. When I am watching your animals I never leave them for longer than 2-4 hours unless I have an event that we have previously discussed and gone over. I have a boxer and a pitty at home! At my home I have a fenced in yard for my dogs and anytime they are outside of the fence I also make sure they are long leash and would do the same for your pups! I never leave an animal unattended while outside just in case something were to happen. I also do not leave them unattended with a toy that they could possibly swallow or ingest and cause choking. I’m all eyes, ears and cuddles when it comes to both my pets and yours!
About: I have been watching people's pets while they go away since I was 15. I have experience with small dogs all the way up to big dogs. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. My mom’s dog has medicine that needs to be administered orally four times a day. I have experience doing that with her and feel comfortable doing it. She also has a diabetic dog who needs insulin twice a day. I am comfortable doing that injection. I love furry friends! I am available during the day. I have a flexible schedule so I can work around most things. If a certain time is needed I can make it work. I am in a friendly area where I can take the furry friends on walks. I am also close to trails so we can walk those.
About: I've had dogs, cats and horses my entire life. Rescued several unwanted horses. Recently adopted an Aussie/lab, Macy she's the sweetest dog. I have a cat and a horse. I have raised animals all my life. Currently work Tues-Wed-friday part time in Greenville. I had a2 hrs lunch could do walks on those days in Greenville. On Monday and Thursdays I'm in trufant. I may be available 5 days a week, times vary selecting on my schedule. Also, pet sitting on weekends or for a vacation, in Greenville or trufant area. I walk my dog daily, and my pets get fed twice a day. She is also on some prescription meds that she gets daily. My horse is elder and his molars are gone, so he gets a mash twice a day.

Tierstin currently lives with five animals, three family dogs and her two beloved cats, making her extremely understanding of the responsibility, care, and attention that animals need. Tierstin is currently studying to become a wildlife biologist, which speaks to her deep, lifelong passion for animals. She will treat your pets like her own and make sure every pet, big or small, will receive nothing short of patience, affection, and all the attention possible.”
