About: I have experience working with and caring for dogs for well over 10 years now. I’m dedicated to providing high quality care for your dogs, as a dog mama myself. I have experience with big and small dogs as well as experience with senior dogs. Just a teacher who looks forward to spending extra time off in the summer, with my dog, Willow, and others! can't wait to meet your fur baby! :) I’m available part-time to spend time with your fur babies! Whether it’s dog sitting, playing, walking, letting your dogs out to go potty and more! :) I have an almost 2 year old Dalmatian, Willow, who is very friendly. She gets along with big dogs and small dogs, loves to play and will keep your babies company! I also have two dog crates if they need to be crated, big yard and pool for your dogs to enjoy! Your dogs will also have plenty of potty breaks depending if they have their own potty schedule. I offer a very fun, friendly, and safe environment for your dog(s)!

About: My husband, Greg, and I are retired Police Officers who recently purchased our retirement home in Garfield Township. We lived and raised our family in Berrien County for the past 30 years. Over the years we have had many dogs and cats as well as chickens and a horse. My husband, most likely, will be joining me while I care for your beloved pet. We are avid pet lovers and desire to make sure you and your pet have a stress free day while you’re away. I have a free schedule and have plenty of time to care, play, walk and cuddle your pet. I’m more than willing to work with you to accommodate whatever it is you need from me! I’m passionate about giving your pet the best service possible. I’d like to be given information about your pet(s), their behavior, socialization, health and temperament.

“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds and sizes of animals since a very young age, I love spending my time outdoors all year round no matter the weather! I’ve always had a passion for not just dogs but all types of animals and will continue to always believe animals are better than people.🤍 I’m currently home full time Monday through Sunday (with the exception of appointments, shopping, etc.) and am available from morning to night and even overnight stays! If I care for your fur/scaled/feathered baby in your home I will follow all rules and protocols given to me, as well as spend as much time with them as I possibly can!

About: Hi there! I am Gina - self proclaimed animal advocate and lover. I am very involved in the rescue world which means I am well-versed in animal language and their needs. I had many fosters through various rescues and have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a bunny of my own. I am a believer in positive reinforcement which means I will treat your animals with respect and never use adverse methods. I believe in treating pets with kindness in every interaction. I have a more ‘difficult’ dog myself which took very patient training to get him to even be able to go outside. With this experience, I know how to handle dogs that may be more reactive on a leash or take a gentle hand to guide them. I also have a very well-rounded pup so I feel I have seen both ends of the spectrum! My pup also has a neurological disorder, so I am comfortable with special needs dogs as well. I pet sit for all my rescue friends, and for some of them I am one of few that they trust. As a child, I dreamed of being a vet, and although that was not my career path, I still find joy in being around animals. I also volunteer for animal non profits when ever I can. I take close measures to make sure animals are safe and comfortable when I’m around and would be honored to be trusted with your fur baby ❤️ I also am available for CAT drop-ins! 🐱 I work from home 9-5 M-F and with advanced notice can flex my schedule to accommodate drop ins or walks. My schedule should be up to date with vacations. For in-home stays during the weeks, I would ask that you can set me up with WiFi connection so I can work while I’m there! I will follow any instructions given to me to best ensure your pet feels comfortable. I will take precautions to make sure that the animal is never at risk of flight, and will communicate if needed. I am extra careful to ensure the pet is safely indoors before departing and triple check locks for peace of mind. As mentioned in my profile, I am a positive reinforcement advocate so I WILL NOT use adverse methods such as prong collars, electric shock collars, etc. If this is something you use for your dog, I’m afraid we won’t be a good fit!

“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!”

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was little and get along with all shapes and sizes. I used to go door-to-door and no matter if it was a random dog or strays, that dog and me were becoming besties. I work from home Monday-Friday, so if you have internet, I can work there or I can just drop in. My schedule is pretty flexible, but I just need to know in advance. I can care for the pet in any way that you ask- bathing, food, potty breaks, walks, etc. I am pretty flexible with what kind of care is needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 both small and large. Family members and family friends have relied on me to make sure that their furry companions get the care that they need. I also have experience handling senior dogs and giving medication if needed. I currently have open availability for rover requests up until end of June then school starts so I’ll have open availability Thursday-Sunday and will be in school from 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Wednesday. For any booking requests depending on the duration of time I ask please book a week in advance:) Whether it's checking in, caring for your pet in your home, or just helping them get in their exercise I will ensure that they are watched after promptly! For walking services there are plenty of areas ear me I can take them for walks or to just have fun at. Check-ins will be on time and thoroughly communicated with owners. Any house sitting I ensure frequent updates to ease any worries an owner may have.

About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

“Kumar was perfect! I had a family emergency and it was very last minute but he accepted the booking and took care of my cat. Will definitely book him again if I need.”

“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! ❤️❤️”

“Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.”

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, cows, any animal you could think of! I absolutely love taking care of all animals. I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets and we have a farm, so we have plenty of space to walk, and get exercise.
