“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”


“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”


“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”



“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”


About: What sets me apart is the love and real-life experience I have from caring for my own two dogs every day. I truly understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate watching over your pet. I treat every dog and cat like family—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, just like at home. I work part-time from home, so I’m home a lot and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. That means I can give your pet consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my routine since I’m already spending lots of time with my own two dogs! I’m super flexible and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’ll stick to their feeding schedule, walk times, play routines, and any special instructions you have. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they would with you.

“Lynn is wonderful with our dogs! We are so grateful for the weekly walks. She gives great feedback and is very flexible. So glad we found her!”


“Sometimes luck is on your side. We chose Cara at random from possible Rover dog walkers, and it turns out she is a dream come true! Punctual, flexible, kind, funny, and smart, she has turned out to be exactly the right person for our needs and preferences. Pivo goes nuts with excitement when he sees her coming. He performs zoomies on walks, and even though she says he's tired out, will do them when he's back. We love her! Yay, Cara! Awesome job!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I used to watch my friends and neighbors dogs when they would go out of town, making sure they get out to use the bathroom and get exercise as well as feed them and take them out for walks. I can administer basic first aid if it’s needed, and am comfortable with giving medicine if they require it. I currently do free lance work from my home, working on my own time as I wish to. I can do morning to to early evening pet care bookings ( 9AM - 5PM) during week days( M - Fr) with availability most the time on weekends unless stated otherwise. Accommodations can be made if they are discussed before bookings are made. I can crate dogs if necessary for any reason, and can take them out to play as well. I have a relatively large house where my pets are free to walk around without worry, none of the pets are stressed and are always relaxing in various areas of the house. Former dogs I have watched and cared for have always enjoyed my company, and never have issue with me.

“Dean was amazing! I needed someone last minute and he accommodated for my request. Great communicator and my puppy enjoyed their interactions. Will definitely book again!”


About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.

About: Hi, my name is Amara. I am a pet lover and all my life I've had cats and dogs growing up and love them all. I am taking a gap year to work so I have all the time in the world to help care for your pet. I love going on long walks and I bet your dog does too. As I don't have School and my other job is once a week every Tuesday for 4-5 hours in the morning, I have plenty of time to help care for pets. With my dog, I feed him and take him for walks. I clean up after him and teach him tricks and bathe him. With my cats I always feed them and cleaned their litter boxes, and well when they gave birth I watched the babys when mama need a break.

About: Hi I’m Brody, and I am 18 years old. I have two wonderful French bulldogs and a German Shepherd myself, so I’m not a stranger of taking care of dogs. I have built very strong connections with all of them, as I’m looking for with your dog as well. I give them walks very often so I’m well aware of what a dog likes and does during a walk. I guarantee your dog will have a joyful experience. I am working full-time during the summer. I might be booked up with other appointments, but I’m still pretty flexible with times and can move things around, so it can fit with your needs. I always wash my hands in between appointment so I don’t carry over any triggers that might alarm your dog and keep your dog clean and safe. At home, I always look to give my dogs attention and play with them in my yard for good exercise. If there is any specific instructions that you want for your dog's best experience, I would be happy to do so.

Maggie is so wonderful! She is very reliable and communicative. Our doggy always had fun walking with her.

Lynn is wonderful with our dogs! We are so grateful for the weekly walks. She gives great feedback and is very flexible. So glad we found her!

Kathryn was great at communicating and my dog loved his 60+ min walk! She made sure to send lots of videos and photos. I could tell he was in good hands and felt totally at ease with a “stranger” walking him. We will definitely be booking her for future walks!
