“Annabel and Gavin took care of my 2 doogs and a cat while I was away for 2 weeks overseas. They have followed their routine to the T. Excellent communication gave me peace of mind and photos sharing ensured pets were in great hands. I can't be thankful enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies are taking care off. Highly recommended and would definitely use their service again!”

About: I have had several dogs and cats since I was about 10 yrs. old. Owner of 3 dogs in the last 35 yrs. We have also cared for 3 stray cats that wandered on to our porch! They became family! I watch and take care of our grand dog-Millie. She is a Bernise Mountain dog! 🐶 I have recently retired from full time work. Looking to work part time doing something fun! Visiting with, feeding, playing with and walking your pet would be the perfect job for me! 🐕‍🦺 I will care for your pet as if they were my very own! Always looking out for their safety in-side or out-side of your home.

“Jennifer is a very compassionate animal lover. I felt very comfortable having her walk Mya. I would highly recommend her to care for any pet.”

About: I started a new job 7 months ago where I work 12 hour swing shifts. I’m scheduled to work 3-4 days or nights per week, but have opportunities for overtime. Please do reach out to see if I’m available. I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m currently only scheduling for the weekends that I am off. So my schedule is limited as I work a 12 hours of swing shift. I do have every other weekend off, plus a day or two during the week. I walk the dog on the side walk or on the road if there are no sidewalk and if it’s not a busy road. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.

“Thanks for being flexible!”

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.

About: I currently sit on a board of directors and volunteer with my boyfriend at a local animal rescue. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of pets with special needs (one of my pets is special needs!). I currently work Saturday-Tuesday remotely and a flexible, in person schedule Wed-Friday. My schedule is designed for flexibility, so I can easily meet the needs of you and your fur baby! I have over 15 years experience caring for dogs and over 7 caring for cats. I treat others’ pets as if they were my home. I am available 24/7 and love to message photos and videos to the pet owner. If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!

About: I teach kindergarten. I am endlessly patient, I am tidy, I am a mom of four grown kids, I have my own pets, have rescued (people and pets) and have taken care of them. I also love plants and gardens and will attend to those as a side bonus! Pets, plants, and children are my favorites! I am a teacher. I am gone from 7-4 on weekdays. On weekends, I'm available! I am willing to stay overnight or just stop by to play and relieve your baby! I am willing to come to your house and take care of your pets. I don't mind staying overnight, or just spending some time with them during the day.

“Madeline takes great care of our pooch on her walks. She plays interactive games with her on the trail. Jade loves when Madeline comes to visit her.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I’m working part time on the weekends but I’m available all the time Monday through Thursday. On weekends I usually work up to 3 4 hour shifts so I still have time to take care of pets! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. Seeing any animal/pet beings a joy to my day. I’ve loved being able to volunteer at different Humane Societies across Michigan, and look to adopt very soon! My schedule is super flexible, so you will not have any worries about myself being able to meet up with your pups or cats. My schedule changes weekly, so I am able to always make valuable time for your animals!! There is a fenced in area here, and many places I am able to walk/drive to to be able to take out your animals for whatever they need!

About: I had a chocolate lab. She passed away in July 2020. She was 16 years old. She was on medicine and had a couple surgeries so I am used to taking care of older dogs with meds, etc. I do have 5 cats and they are very spoiled. They are outdoor/indoor. They range in age from 9 yrs-2 yrs-old. I believe in daily exercise for animals, I even walk the cats! I am available very early mornings 6-7am and in the evening from 7pm on. I am also available on most weekends. I look forward to seeing your pet and helping you out! I have a full time second shift job. I will be available in the mornings before 3:00pm and most weekends all day long if needed. I am currently not boarding any pets due to my cats being very spoiled and particular about who they have around the house. I will give the best care to your pet in your house. I believe in exercise and a good diet for your pet and also the occasional treat.

About: Taken care of various dogs and sizes. From puppies to older dogs. I enjoy relaxing and chilling with my frenchie. I make my own frozen dog treats 🤸‍♀️ On my off days i love spending with my ralphi. He loves to play with other dogs and would like it if he had someone to play or chill with besides me. I have 2 dogs that will keep your dog company. Frenchie is playful and older grey labrador just wants to be left alone but pet all day by a human. Have a huge yard that doesnt have a fence and can see all of the yard.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with a deep love for pups of all kinds. While new to professional walking, I’ve spent years caring for and walking my own dogs. I treat every dog like family—safe, happy, and tail-wagging guaranteed! I'm currently in college with a mostly online schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pups with lots of walks and snuggles! Safety and comfort always comes first. I always follow any instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and give each pet plenty of love and attention. I aim to create a calm, trustworthy space where pets feel safe, happy, and at ease—just like they would with family.

About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way
