Dog Walking Irving

About: I know that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by providing dependable, loving care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as I can. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer oral medications if needed, and care for senior pets who may need a little extra time and gentleness. Communication is one of my top priorities. You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or simply enjoys relaxing at home, I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. My goal is to earn your trust and become the sitter you can confidently rely on whenever you need dependable in-home pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I intentionally schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m providing overnight care or drop-in visits, I make it a priority to be dependable, on time, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and any medications or special care they need. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that keeps pets happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine in the comfort of their own home. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in the environment they know best. I believe pets feel happiest when they can keep their normal routine, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and spaces. During each visit or overnight stay, I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks (if requested), medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship while making sure your home is respected and kept secure. I know every pet has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know what makes them happy—whether that’s extra cuddles, playtime, a quiet presence, or simply maintaining their usual schedule. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos during your time away.

About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m sticking with Rover full time for a while! I’ve tried Camp Bow Wow, and found it isn’t the right work environment for me. I like providing services through Rover as I can better manage my schedule and get to know your fur babies more personally! With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!

“Sara was great walking our dog. We would definitely use her services again.”

About: In the past I attended school at Ferris State University and loved this as a little job. I love animals and missed mine from home. I have a yorkipoo. I love walking dogs and playing fetch. I love animals and just hanging out with them. I will keep your pets safe as if they were mine. Just feel free to text me or call me if you have any more questions. I have a goldendoodle of my own that is very friendly so yours would just be added into the daily routine of taking care of them. I have a yard and am able to take them for walks and a golden doodle who is very friendly and loves dogs to keep your dog company.

About: I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care! I've been working with neighbors and have been recommended to others due to my reliable and compassionate pet care. In addition, I have completed countless volunteer hours through the Humane Society of West Michigan's Dogs Day Out program, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of varying temperaments, energy levels, and care needs! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for any pet care needed on weekdays and weekends! In my own home, I have one cat who loves to lie around the house during the day and snuggle next to me at night! My #1 goal is to make sure your pet is having fun in a safe and comfortable environment at all times!

“My two Scottie’s can be a lot to handle. One’s super energetic and the other is an anxious barker. Suraya provided me updates and pictures that set me at ease. The daily two walks, while i worked, kept them happy and tired! Thank you for helping during a holiday week!”

“Jillian. was perfect with our puppy, Hershey. Hershey has a lot of energy and when Jillian. walked her she was so tired that the dog actually fell asleep on Jillian.‘s foot while we were chatting after the walk. This is what I had hoped for! I definitely recommend Jillian. as a very qualified and capable doggy care person.”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I am not new to caring for others. I am a lifelong dog owner and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment. I am also a parent and work in childcare, which has given me extensive experience with responsibility, patience, and following specific instructions. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, recognizing needs, and providing attentive care. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a loved one. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own family, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, especially long-term and weekend care. I’m available Thursday nights through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care without rushing or overbooking. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and recognizing pets’ needs. I’m used to planning my days around caregiving and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time. Since it’s not fenced, dogs are always closely monitored and leashed as needed. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company, and two children who love animals and are taught to be gentle and respectful. Pets are never left unattended. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.

About: I’ve owned and have taken care of multiple animals throughout the years! From house animals to some animals. I love our furry friends! :) . I’m working a part-time job currently where I work every other weekend, I’ll be able to stop in throughout the day on the days I do and don’t work! I have 2 friendly dogs, 2 friendly cats, a rabbit and a rooster! I keep them all safe and healthy, and I have a great bond with them!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and I truly cannot imagine life without them as part of the family. That is not just something I say. It is how I live. I have had cats since I was six years old, and my wife and I have shared our home with both cats and dogs our entire adult lives. Right now, our little crew includes our ten year old dog Nara and our two younger cats, Chiri and Lulu. Living in a multi-pet household has taught me how to read different personalities, manage different energy levels, and create a calm, respectful environment where everyone feels secure. I do not see pets as property. They are sentient, emotional members of the family with their own routines, preferences, and boundaries. When I care for your pet, I approach them with patience, attentiveness, and genuine respect. I adjust to their temperament. High energy or shy. Playful or independent. Young or senior. My goal is always the same. Make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable in their own space. My wife brings years of pet sitting experience and previously worked as a dog trainer and consultant. I have learned a great deal from her about behavior, structure, positive reinforcement, and how to respond calmly in different situations. That experience has shaped how I show up with animals. Steady. Observant. Consistent. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping routines consistent • Providing appropriate play and enrichment • Maintaining clean food, water, and litter areas • Offering calm companionship when that is what they need • Sending thoughtful updates and photos so you feel completely at ease Leaving your pets in someone else’s care requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your pets the way I treat my own. With patience, kindness, and real affection. If you are looking for someone who understands that your pets are family, I would love to help. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, with regular potty breaks, play when they’re up for it, and plenty of companionship rather than quick, rushed visits. I’m available for afternoon and evening visits, weekend care, overnight stays in your home, house sitting, and extended care when needed. Whether your pet needs a few check-ins during the day, weekend coverage, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around what fits best for you. I aim to be present, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. If you have specific timing or needs, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to find a setup that works well for you and your pets. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets, whether in your home or mine. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking preferences, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m attentive to details like doors, gates, leashes, and secure areas so your pet stays safe at all times, and I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My approach is calm, patient, and low-stress. I use fear-free handling techniques and pay close attention to behavior and subtle changes, especially for pets who may be more sensitive or require extra care. I’m also certified in Dog CPR & First Aid, so I’m prepared to recognize and respond appropriately if any concerns arise. I believe in clear, proactive communication. If anything seems off, I’ll reach out right away so you always feel informed and at ease. I aim to create an environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. They’re family, and I treat them that way. 🐾

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: Hello my name is Justin L, I am 39 years, single, no kids and work full time. I lost my dog about 5 years ago and it was very hard to deal with. I am not ready to commit to another one yet, so I figured I might as well get my dog fix by helping others out on their vacation or their busy schedules. I always grew up with dogs and have had them all from small to large. Dogs are a mans best friend is the most true statement and I will always provide the best care for those dogs. Life would be so boring without dogs in it. I hope at some point in the future to get my own dog. I am available after I am off work. Depending where I’m working and where you are located I can possibly swing by during lunch time as well. I like to listen to what the owners say as far as what their preference for how they want their pet to behave. Any parameters with the house they typically write them up and I keep them updated throughout the day with photos of the pets.

I will spend a minimum of 30 minutes with them each visit. I have 2 dogs of my own that I dedicate my time to and would treat your pet as I do my own

“Absolutely super. I would not hesitate to use her again if we were in the area. Traveling thru and went over to Mackinac for the day and decided to leave the dog and wanted her to have some walks and stimulation.”

About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.
