“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”


2. Cara V.

“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!”

9. Abigail B.
About: I have grown up around dogs as well as worked several years in Veterinary care. My dogs Archie and Arlo are my children, so you can rest assured that your pup will be in the care of someone who adores them like family. I'm a caring, energetic and all around friendly human being that loves all kinds of animals. My husband, Jason, also grew up around animals and has never met a dog he doesn’t love. We are both passionate about the health, safety, and care of pets. If we decide to work together, know your pet will be my number one priority. I do my best to be with them as much as possible and go on as many walks as they need to get all their energy out. I'm all about cuddling and playtime, so it's important to me to meet the dog prior to accepting a job. Please consider me for your dog care, I'm sure we will all be happy with your decision! I currently work part time, on average only about 15 hours a week. My free time will be spent around the house/with your pup! When I am away at work, Jason will be here working from home, so you know there is always someone there with your baby. We do not have children so the dogs are our kids, we put so much time into their care and happiness. We have a fenced back yard and anything dangerous (chemicals or cleaning products) are kept shut away in a closet. Dogs are given free range of the available house, access to a huge backyard to romp around in, and of course plenty of love and snuggles.


10. Maggie W.

“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!!”


11. Genevieve S.
“Genevieve pet sat for me a couple months ago and my dogs loved her. I got constant updates and pictures and I will have her pet sit for me in the future.”


12. Hunter C.

“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”




13. Kristen F.

“Kristen was a great walker! She accommodated a last-minute time shift, she showed up right on time, and took our pup for a good walk. We'll definitely hire her again!”


14. Anna S.

“Anna was great! Moe came back tired and happy. She was punctual and had great communication.”


15. Adaora O.
About: Hi! My name is Adaora, I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and have taken care of my family’s now senior dog most of his life, so I’m well versed in all stages of dog life at this point. Currently I have one 2 year old dog who I raised from 3 months old (who is very high energy, so there will be plenty of walks and exercise while your pup is here.) I also have experience training dogs, so if you need some additional help with basic commands and dog walking, I’d be happy to assist! I am a student full time during the week, but have availability and a lot of energy throughout the weekends from sitting in class all day, which is where your dog comes in! I love spending my time with my dog and others dogs, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors in my backyard gardening or going on walks and hikes which is always more fun accompanied by a furry friend! I have a fenced in yard and 1 other doggo who has plenty of energy and toys laying around the house to help entertain your pup. A typical daycare day will usually look like hanging out outside for a bit, play time with me, snack time, at some point I’ll separate the doggos so they can all rest, then we’ll go for a walk and maybe snuggle up inside for a bit. If everyone is particularly energetic we’ll go back outside and play again. My goal here is to give your dog a fun, stress free place to be while you are at work or away for the day/weekend, because that’s always what I want for my dog when I’m gone.


16. Anna J.
“Anna watches our dog Macie and our cat Lincoln along with her cat tigger. You can tell her love for animals when you first meet her. She is very responsible, on time, and goes the extra mile. Our pets get so excited to see her when she comes to the door. We would never use anyone else.”


17. Sophia T.
“Sophia was great! She sent updates and prompt communication!”


18. Jennifer J.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and rodents since I was old enough to walk. I cared for all of our animals growing up and also several neighborhood pets as well. I have experience administering oral meds and caring for those special needs babies as well. Willing to feed, bathe, walk, and/or whatever other need may arise for your pet. I'm currently looking for flexible work outside the home. My availability is very open and I am willing to work with you on times and days as needed. Your pet’s happiness is my utmost priority! I currently live in an apartment where dogs (besides certified) unfortunately aren't allowed but I am able to care for your pet in your home in whatever way you may need.


19. Nathan W.
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I could remember. I have watched my dad train 2 of our Labrador retrievers and have always been the one in charge of the dogs when my parents were gone. I genuinely love dogs so you’re pet won’t be bored! My routine is mostly free since I am not in an internship right now. I am a student at Western Michigan and I have the most free time in the middle of the day since I have morning classes. My mother uses this app to house our dog when we are out of town so I completely understand the much needed trust between the pet sitter and client. I’ve taken care of my dogs and have walked other dogs plenty of times. When your dog is in my hands I will be committed to providing safety, fun walks, and playtime tailored to each dog.




20. Lily Y.
“We are so grateful to Lily for watching our pup several times. She cares deeply for animals and clearly loves spending time with dogs! She is also extremely considerate of our wishes and expectations, so we never have to worry that our dog is receiving the same treatment and care as he would at home. Lily gave us plenty of updates while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear that our pup was truly enjoying his time with her! We highly recommend Lily for petsitting!”
