About: Having had senior dogs and puppies, I enjoy our furry friends of all ages. I have had five lovely “boys” during my marriage and they have ranged in age from being adopted at eight weeks old to joining my family at the ripe age of 18 (and living for another three before going on). It has been amazing to “the boys” with me on epic adventures as the family traveled the US in a motorhome. They have been to Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Zion, Arches, the Upper Peninsula, Florida, etc. I love dogs and am always looking for a great new place to walk them in the area. I am home during the day as my family homeschools and this allows me to be very flexible with scheduling. Currently, I like to take the “boys” out to the local preserve, park, or beach every day for a mile or two walk. They enjoy being able to run around and sniff, chase squirrels, and enjoy the outdoors. The “boys” also enjoy going on a ride and have a little routine with regards to who sits in each part of the car. I have 5 acres which are not fenced. Your pet would be leashed while at my home for safety and also while on walks. There is a crate if needed.

“Baylee was wonderful! She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of our very shy and particular German Shepherd. We just moved into a new house so we were worried about how he would do when we were gone but he did great with Baylee! We came home to a happy, healthy dog and we will definitely be using her again to watch Mav 😊”

“Richelle was very kind and easy to work with. She sent me pictures of my dog and kept me updated on their walk. Richelle was willing to walk my dog on short notice while I was sick and even offered to come back later if needed. I would highly recommend Richelle!! Thank you from Daphne and I!”

About: I have been taking care of different kind of pets like dogs and cats for years. I am a serious animal lover and love taking care of them. I am a college student so I will be juggling pet care around my classes and homework, but I know I will be able to do it. I am experienced with high active pets that might need a bit more work taking care of. I am also experienced with shyer pets that may not warm up to me quickly.

“Alaina is a great communicator, kind and excited to spend time with our dog. She even took her out in the rain for a walk. If you book her you won't regret it.”

About: Hello! I’m a mid 40s woman who has spent the majority of her career in the corporate world. When I decided it was time for a change, working with animals came to mind first. My household is full with 3 dogs of our own. A 10 year old springer spaniel, a 7 year old borador, and a rat terrier puppy. I love play time with them including walks, parks and training at home, but cuddle time while reading or watching a movie is just my favorite thing. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and would love to give your dog some time and attention whenever needed. Currently I’m launching a mobile catering business (mobile charcuterie) which is in the very beginning stages. I have many days open during the week and weekends to provide all day or drop in care. Treats, affection and positive reinforcement always work the best. Once I know which thing the dog is best motivated with, we stick with that. I love giving treats like apples or bell peppers if allowed by the owner. Feedings and potty breaks as needed or directed by owners. Love to take pictures and send updates during the stay. I’m there to play with the dogs, keep them company and make sure they are safe.

“We love having Kristen help us out with our dog Mae. She follows instructions perfectly and has helped us a lot with reinforcing training commands. Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”

“Anna was awesome! She was very communicative and professional, and our dogs loved her. She is clearly very knowledgeable about dog care, and will treat your pups with lots of love.”

About: Hi my name is Eden! (he/they) I absolutely love animals and I have enough energy to keep up with them too! I have 2 years of experience in a veterinary background which ensures I am trained on safe and comfortable interaction with animals of all shapes and sizes! I can give medication on a schedule or keep up with special needs as well as needed :) I work as a Muskegon county park ranger in the summer season and in the off seasons (currently) I do Rover full time while I attend college online. I am very comfortable with commuting :) I can be as flexible as you need, whether it be boarding, house sitting, or dropping in for a playdate before or after work! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of room to play both my cat and my dog get along well with other animals! Both are fully up to date on all vaccines and neutered! I also have a room set aside for my cat that is dog free which could be shared with other cats. I am comfortable with crating for longer stays and my dog is crate trained as well!

About: I’ve almost always had a pet whether it was a cat, kitten, puppy, family dog, or fish. I enjoyed taking care of the neighborhoods pets growing up as well as house sitting for them. When I was bored I used to ask the neighbors if I could walk their dogs just to get outside! I love animals in all shapes and sizes. Currently I work full time from home. I have a pretty flexible schedule for when I can take a lunch break or leave the house for an extended amount of time. Come March I will be self employed and will have open availability! There is no fence around our home, ideally outside time will be on a leash or long lead rope for running. We can do long walks down the road, a quick car ride to the beach, or walk in the state land across the street from my home. For cats we have lots of climbing structures and even some shelves built into the wall. Many toys and much love to go around

About: I have a great passion for taking care of four legged fur babies, with a special love for larger breeds. You can trust me with all of their needs, whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, bathing, or etc., I will gladly help with any of their needs. I work full time as a dental hygienist in Hart 4 days a week so I can only offer weekend and holiday bookings at this time. Special exceptions for late evening or early morning bookings can be discussed upon request. I’m happy to come to you! I know a lot of great dog friendly outdoor areas where I can take your pet or if they have a special favorite spot we can go there too! You can trust that I will be flexible to your pets specific needs.

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.

About: We are a family of four who are extreme animal and dog lovers! We have one 6mo. Petite Goldendoodle named Reaves and a 5y.o. Goldendoodle Bron. Excited for an experience to hang out with your beloved pups. We live in town very close to lots of walking paths and have plenty of room for vehicle transportation. We make many trips to the beach during the week and are always playing catch. We are a very active family and would love to have your family pet join our gang. Have been around all breeds and familiarized with how they behave. Have been a part of Rover for over five years; love the community! Only special request is that times specified be held true on your end. Cancellation fees and fees for being late to specified times requested should be expected (we plan our family time around pups, please be respectful & don’t be late). Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! 😄✨ We have a busy schedule but I can ensure we spend a lot of time walking as well. The normal day walks would be alternated with when your pups need to be cared for. We have a large home with walking paths surrounding our house, we also spend lots of time outside including regular porch hangs and beach adventures.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and currently have two under my care. I have experience watching puppies, cats, every size of dog, and even birds! I’m currently looking for dog care to be my part time job, so I’ve set aside a lot of time to provide as much attention possible to pet care. I have a crate trained dog my grandmothers dogs, and both of them have a great temperament. Im very respectful of peoples spaces and have no problem caring for dogs in environments they are comfortable in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was child. My family raised our family dog since she was a puppy and even potty trained her. I also have experience teaching dogs commands as well. My schedule has changed! I’m willing to board only on weekdays. Drop-ins and walks on any day of the week! Let me know if you have my questions! I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam as they please. My home also has plenty of space to house them and to ensure that they can have whatever set up they need. I’m willing to aid in potty training as well.

About: I’ve grown up around all different kinds of animals and cannot imagine a life without them! I have had years of experience caring for all different types and breeds. I have been pet sitting for family and friends for years and am hoping to expand my services to a larger community! I am very trusted and promise to give your pets the care they deserve! I am currently in college at GVSU with class Monday through Thursday. I still live in the Muskegon area and am only on campus for a couple hours each day so I am available any or all of the time outside of that. I am open to both short or extend bookings. I’m here to make this experience as easy and stress free as possible! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family even for a short while. Whatever your preferences are for crating/caring for your dog I will respect and do with the same love I would for my own! Your animals will be safe and comfortable with me. I have experience with administering medications for both cats and dogs.
