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’m a dedicated animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visit services across the area. Having grown up with dogs and currently having my own sweet cat, I understand that pets are cherished family members who thrive on consistent routines, patience, and good care. ​Services Offered (No Overnights): • Dog Walking (30 or 60 min): Energetic or leisurely walks around your neighborhood, potty breaks, fresh water refills, and towel-offs for wet paws. • Cat & Small Pet Drop-Ins: Litter box scooping, strict feeding schedules, fresh water, and interactive play or gentle company. • Dog Drop-Ins: Yard playtime, feeding, medication routines, and plenty of affection while you're at work or away for the day. ​ Why Choose Me: • Daily Photo & GPS Updates: Every visit includes a detailed Rover Card with photos and notes so you know exactly how your pet's visit went. • Home & Property Respect: Tidy feeding areas, secure locking, and bringing in mail/packages upon request. • Flexible & Patient: Comfortable with both active dogs and shy cats who need to set their own pace. ​I’d love to help keep your pets happy and well-exercised! Send a message anytime! I work a full time job outside of Rover with a rotating schedule, primarily on morning shifts. I also have an hour long lunch break each day. I am more than happy to do drop in visits or walks during my lunch break, as well as before or after my shifts, to ensure your pet is fully taken care of! I have tons of experience walking, playing, and taking care of animals throughout my life. If your animal has a lot of energy, I would love to play and take them for walks to get that energy released. However I can help, I am willing to do so. I look forward to learning more about your pet and creating an overall good experience. :)

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!

“Jessica had done a great job coming for a midday walk with our golden doodle. She is punctual and not afraid to ask questions. Very happy!”

“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!”

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.

“My dog is pretty anxious when it comes to new people/being around people when I’m not present, but Jasmine is so great with him! She was able to meet him prior to becoming his dog walker and he loved her instantly.”

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

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!

About: I've always loved dogs I don't have a ton of experience with dogs but have had dogs of my own growing up I love to play with dogs and walk them and give them lots of love I would treat whatever dog I had in my care as my own I'm a stay at home mom so your dog would get lots of attention from me and my children lots of cuddles and play time Your dog would always be on a lease or lead in my backyard as I don't have a fenced in yard but I have a big backyard again they would be cared for as If they were my own dog

About: I know dogs very well. I used to pet sit when I was young and still do. I’ve had many dogs a few cats and some fish. I am currently not working at a place with a schedule. I have no human children. No school, my schedule is open. I have time to meet pets needs. I have a nice yard on the lake, I leash up the fur babies and walk about a mile twice a day. Trips out the yard I’m between. I have an electric fence I haven’t put in yet.

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.

“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: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online. And my schedule is very flexible, as I can study my Carnivore behavior course anyplace there is Internet. I take my pet sitting job very seriously. It's my honor and responsibility to make sure all of your baby's needs are met. I follow any instructions and always double check locks, bring in the mail and take out garbage if needed. My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

“Katherine was an awesome dog walker. She was punctual, communicated well and tracked the walk with a rover card. I would love to have her walk Moe again soon.”

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: We’ve had a family puppy for as long as I can remember! My brother and I do lots of volunteering between nearby shelters and we also do watch other dogs. My aunt has two German Shepards and a pit-bull that I watch quite often so I have experience with bigger dogs as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8:30-4:30 PM, M-F. I can watch a dog any day during the week and or overnight as long as they can go that long without potty breaks! If the house is nearby I can go on my lunches to let the pets out :) We currently have an electric fence and colar for our puppy and are very cautious any time letting him out. I will give the same care for your puppy any time I am around it!

“Our favorite ❤️”

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.
