“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

About: I’ve had several years of experience with pets of all different kinds. I used to work for a professional pet sitting company, a dog day care, and currently work at a vet clinic. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs, and hyperarousal behavior. I am currently working full time at a local veterinary clinic, and I am pet sitting part time on my days off! I am available on Friday's, some Tuesday's, and some weekends. I do not offer services in my own home as I have two dogs of my own, however I do drop in visits/walks at your home!
“Dean was amazing! I needed someone last minute and he accommodated for my request. Great communicator and my puppy enjoyed their interactions. Will definitely book again!”
“Sometimes luck is on your side. We chose Cara at random from possible Rover dog walkers, and it turns out she is a dream come true! Punctual, flexible, kind, funny, and smart, she has turned out to be exactly the right person for our needs and preferences. Pivo goes nuts with excitement when he sees her coming. He performs zoomies on walks, and even though she says he's tired out, will do them when he's back. We love her! Yay, Cara! Awesome job!”
“Maggie is the best!! Our dogs were staying with my elderly parents while we were out of town and needed to be walked everyday. Maggie came to our rescue and walked them daily and gave them VIP treatment! Maggie is a dependable, professional loving care giver and we would definitely call her again to care for our dogs!!”
About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, for family and friends who are pet parents, I am their first choice when it comes to pet sitting. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelters and to me, the animal's well-being is my highest priority. I have a job with flexible work hours so I can always make time to take care of your best friend. I also work remotely so I can be with your pet for however long is needed. If I am at the client's house, I will follow any and all special instructions involving taking care of their pet. I will make sure the dog is fed, gets plenty of exercise, clean up any messes, and just make sure that they feel safe and cared for.
About: I grew up on a farm in a small town. I don’t ever remember a time when our family didn’t have at least one dog! I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite, and my own dog Finn is considered family. I’ve taken a 6 week behavioral training course with a vet back in my hometown, I follow the AKC on social media, and love going to dog shows! I have an 8-5 job, but I work from home and my employer is very flexible! I can take time away as needed to care for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and my 12 year old dog was well socialized growing up! Since she’s a senior dog, she’s generally not interested in play and prefers to nap, but she tolerates younger dogs well as long as I can take some of their attention off of her.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 7 and my mom brought home a beautiful plumpy golden retriever. I was responsible for many things like walking and feeding and training growing up. I’ve dedicated my whole summer to working with my other part time job and taking care of your dogs! I love animals and I think this is a great opportunity to get in my fix for a pet that I want super bad but can’t afford right now. I’m super gentle and loving, I love when dogs are playful and we have a good time together. I believe your dog is great hands.
About: Hi, I’m Kate! I worked with lots of pups at a job I had living in Wisconsin and it consisted of taking care of 40+ dogs— bathing, walking, cleaning kennels, leash training, and generally spending time with them. Along with this I volunteer at the local SPCA and have 2 fur babies of my own :-) I’m available to help mornings, mid day, or evening during the week or on the weekends! I have a very open schedule so, I’m really available for whatever is needed! With the experience I have with my own pets, I am fully confident in walking, feeding, playing and crating dogs if necessary. I also have no problem with caring for rambunctious pups, as mine are the same way!
About: As an experienced pet owner and caregiver, I will ensure all of your (and your beloved animals) needs are met, if not exceeded. I am reliable, trustworthy, and caring. Let’s connect and ensure your pet’s wellbeing while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time and have tons of availability to ensure our schedules will work together. Whether it’s checking in on your pet, multiple walks daily, or even staying the night where your pet is comfortable, I can guarantee a great experience for everyone involved! I have experience sitting pets of all age ranges and am comfortable working with any type of animal. I will ensure their schedule will not change and to keep the home clean and tidy.
About: Hi I’m Brody, and I am 18 years old. I have two wonderful French bulldogs and a German Shepherd myself, so I’m not a stranger of taking care of dogs. I have built very strong connections with all of them, as I’m looking for with your dog as well. I give them walks very often so I’m well aware of what a dog likes and does during a walk. I guarantee your dog will have a joyful experience. I am working full-time during the summer. I might be booked up with other appointments, but I’m still pretty flexible with times and can move things around, so it can fit with your needs. I always wash my hands in between appointment so I don’t carry over any triggers that might alarm your dog and keep your dog clean and safe. At home, I always look to give my dogs attention and play with them in my yard for good exercise. If there is any specific instructions that you want for your dog's best experience, I would be happy to do so.
About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.
