About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
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 always use hands-free leashes for safety and security. I have a friendly dog who will keep your fur baby(s) company and feel welcome! I can easily crate your pet(s) if needed. I will 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.
About: I grew up around a lot of animals and learned from a young age how to properly care for chickens, dogs, frogs, fish, cats, bunnies, and rats. I enjoy the company of pets and have never had a pet not enjoy my company. I have a very open schedule as I have graduated and am taking some time off from school. I will be available all day everyday unless I have an errand to run or family plans. I care for pets in clients home in the exact way they see fit, I find all pets are different and have their own quirks, it’s important to know what those are and care for the pet accordingly

“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!”
“This was our initial walk for introduction and it could not have gone better. Cooper can be a bit reactive and that did not phase Daniel one bit! At one point Daniel bent over to tie his shoe and Cooper went in for a smooch opportunity! I am thrilled!!!!! The boys are thrilled! Daniel is terrific, kind and patient. Welcome aboard to our pack ?”

“Lucas is a lifesaver! I’m so happy he was willing to take us on as clients. He’s responsive, punctual, and friendly. He provided great feedback from walks with my Samson; they seemed to get on pretty well. I would definitely rebook.”
About: I have been a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛
“We use Jillian for our 3 month old corgi puppy. She walks or plays with him in the small park near our home. She asks throughtful questions about his care, and sends relevant & hilarious updates about their time together on their adventures. We are using her again”
“Julia was great! She understood things so accurately and intuitively right from the start. Great communication. I felt completely comfortable with her follow through and pet care!”
“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”
About: I first began my pet care experience with my own family dog, who was with us for 16.5 years. Having a dog of my own for that long, not only did I learn about the ins and outs of a high energy puppy to senior care, but also the true, unconditional love that dogs teach us, and how they are truly a member of our families. My dogsitting journey began not long after his passing, and I have loved being able to give my client’s dogs the same love and care that I gave my dog. I have cared for all kinds of different sizes, medical needs, ages, and personalities. I would love to care for your pup next!❤️ I have a full time job that allows me to work from home 75% of the time. At most, I am gone 4 hours in the day if I am at a meeting or running errands. As a previous a dog owner, I understand that pets aren't just a fun thing to have around the house for a little while. They are truly a part of your family. I want to provide the care and love to your dog as I would my own, and understand the responsibility and commitment that entails.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kentwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
