“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”

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.
“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!”

I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.

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!

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!
About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs over the past seven years. I have experience with everything from puppies needing structure and training, to senior dogs who require extra physical support and patience. I’m very comfortable with daily walking, establishing good leash manners, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I’ve also cared for pets who require medications and special attention, and I’m confident adapting to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Several clients have consistently given me positive feedback about the level of care, attention, and trust I provide, which is something I take a lot of pride in. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work in a school district in a full-time role, along with a part-time job that has flexible hours. During the school year, I typically have more availability on weekends and can provide care around my work schedule. I also have one week off approximately every six weeks, which allows for additional flexibility and availability during those times. In the summer, my hours become more flexible as I work fewer hours overall, which gives me even more availability throughout the week. Because of this, I’m able to consistently provide reliable care, including walks, check-ins, and in-home pet sitting depending on the client’s needs. I’m committed to making sure each pet receives attentive, dependable care that fits smoothly into both my schedule and the owner’s needs. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where I stay with the pets to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and reduce stress while their owners are away. I do not have a fenced yard, so all care and exercise is provided through structured walks and supervised outdoor time. I am very attentive during walks and prioritize safety at all times. I am also comfortable caring for pets in my own home if needed, as I rent a pet-friendly space that allows animals. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, cared for, and well looked after in whichever setting I’m providing care.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals my whole life and love being around any and all animals. I’m very flexible and open and am open for almost any work! I’m currently a student at MCC, though it’s now summer break. I do have a part time Job as well but usually work in short shifts to not be away from your pet for long! I can take care of all basic and or extra needs such as exercise, bathroom breaks, feeding, and other needs necessary to your animal as instructed!
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up caring for our Boxers, Pitbulls, Dash Hounds and Chihuahuas. We also had horses and at one point a bunny. I really enjoy walking and training all sorts of animals! I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of time early in the week to help with puppos.(All dogs are just big puppos at heart.) I am very flexible and mobile. I currently live somewhere where I can't have more animals, so pet care at my home is a no go, however I am more than happy to stick to any routines your pet may have in your own home and make sure they get plenty of attention.

Muskegon Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
