Kameron was professional and communicative. He was flexible when weather played a factor in the service we requested and cared for our dog well.

She is amazing. It was a very last minute dog walk and she was more then willing to help out. My dog was able to pee and poo and let out some energy. She was understanding of some confusing things and helped out with supplying some fresh water to my dog. I am definitely rebooking her again!

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs and cats of all sizes—from tiny Shih Tzus to massive Mastiffs—has given me firsthand experience in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Since my teens, I’ve volunteered at a kennel and the Humane Society, deepening my skills and love for working with pets. As a reliable and attentive pet sitter, I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether they need cuddles, exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide the care and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work at a coffee shop so I usually work less than 8 hour shifts! On weekends I can accommodate appointments for any time of day! I also am currently going to school online, so that helps free my schedule. Willing to book unanticipated appointments as well :) In my client’s home, I focus on providing attentive, personalized care. I ensure pets stay on their feeding schedules, can administer oral medications responsibly, and adapt to their unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have been caring for animals for the past year and an a half, but always had dogs and cats growing up. I’ve cared for a multitude of animals anywhere from dogs and cats all the way to snakes horses and chickens. I used to work at the local animal shelter and have experience administering oral medications in pill and syringe. I’m currently working part-time, typically in five hour shifts! When pet sitting I only have one errand to run besides work and that’s cleaning out a horses stall otherwise all my time is for your fur babies! I can take your fur babies for a walk or if you have a fenced in yard we can play fetch to help burn some energy on their potty breaks.

About: I have been caring for animals ever since I was a little kid. From the time I was 7, I cared for my 2 hamsters and 3 beta fish until I was 13 years old. Then I raised my 2 wonderful Weimer Reimer dogs until they passed away in 2019. I’ve worked professionally for a veterinarian clinic and a pet hotel back in 2023 for a short period of time before switching over to working in security. As of January 2026 I just moved to the West Michigan area and am hoping to learn the terrain by pet sitting/ making new furry friends! My schedule is currently open and flexible as I am new to the West Michigan area and in search for a new job. Make me your new regular pet sitter before it’s too late! I treat every pet like they are my own children, I will keep them safe and respect their boundaries as well as make them feel comfortable.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve volunteered at the ASPCA, to walking my neighbors dogs, to taking in my sisters dog in when she moved away, sadly she passed away last year and I’ve had a hole in my heart ever since. So I figured joining Rover would be a great way to start filling that void I have! I have a lot of extra time on my hands! I just moved to Georgia a few months back! I’m in school online but it still leaves alot of free time for me so why not have someone’s fur baby around to keep me company! I love to continue the schedule pawrents have for their animals already or I can start a good schedule for them to start following if you would like! And we will definitely go on walks every time they come! I do have a fenced in back yard so your fur baby will have a lots of room to play and run around! And feel free to bring their beds or cages and toys if needed! I know having something comfortable or familiar around is great for making them feel at home!

This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.

Mike has been wonderful in taking care of Stanley for us. He continues to exceed expectations with time spent and helping release some of his energy. He has also been extremely flexible and willing to help out whenever we ask. We are very grateful for all his help in taking care of our precious pooch.

About: Growing up my family had a small rescue that I helped run, now being grown myself I want to help people and pets out anyway I can! Whether it’s a potty break, walk around the block or a nice hike and some treats! I’m currently working Monday- Friday. I am available the whole day so if you’re looking for someone who’s around all day I’m you’re person! I’m also available after 5pm the days I do work! I am not currently doing in home services due to having two dogs myself in a small home but I am very cautious when it comes to safety and trust. I always make sure doors are shut, fences are locked, collars are on and secured (harnesses too). And I’m always on the lookout for pets getting into stuff they’re not supposed to.

Jessie came out within a few hours to help when I was sick, even though she is busy. This is typical Jessie hustle, and Georgie loves to see her.

Jala is an awesome dog walker for my black lab mix Sadie! She’s very communicative and really gave me peace of mind that she will treat Sadie with love and kindness. Sadie is so excited to see Jala every week and she seems to be tired out after :)) I highly recommend if you need someone to take care of your pup!

Michael was fantastic with our dogs and really helped us out! We planned to take a sunset cruise and needed someone to watch the dogs for a couple hours. Michael met us at the dock and walked the dogs around the area while we cruised. We would definitely use him again if we visit Muskegon again.
