About: I love pets! I had my puppy since I was 8 years old and have loved and cared for her ever since. I also cat sit for my roommate all the time. I’ll do my best to make different dates and times work to walk your dog! I love being active and spending time with the pups! I cared for my elderly pup until she crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m happy to spend time with your dog on walks and get them the exercise they need!

About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking very many credits this semester and I generally only have to leave for class in the morning about an hour a day. I do work part-time with my longest day on Thursday being a 4 hour shift. I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! For larger dogs, I prefer to care for them at the owner’s place only whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking. This is because of the space of an apartment and also because my roommate has a cat! If your cat stays at my apartment, my roommate’s will stay in my roommate’s room so you do not have to worry about confrontation between the cats!
About: I myself have one dog and two cats (which will not be living at the house that I can board at) and am experienced taking care of them since they were kittens and puppies. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks and curling up in bed and reading with my cats whenever it gets cold. I personally am not the sole caregiver for my dog so I usually end up with him in the afternoons. They usually consist of me and my dog being lazy on the couch or going to the park, then we usually eat. My dog is trained to go to the door when he needs to go to the bathroom or just wants to go out so I usually end up taking him out every hour-ish. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have both an outside leash which is on the ground (I prefer not to use this) and I also take him out on just a normal leash alone. I also have access to a dog park that I can bring him and other pets to so that they can get out their zoomies.
About: I’ve had animals all my life. I’ve raised two dogs from the puppy stage, a black lab named Coda who passed in 2015; and the chihuahua/pug mutt named Sparky that I have now. I am also a foster home for the Capital Area Humane Society and have experience with nervous dogs and runners. In addition I’ve owned and taken care of a number of cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. I also am comfortable with a number of other animals as well. I’m currently home all day while the kids are in school so I have lots of time to help you out. I also have some evenings and weekends available, just ask! I own my home and have a large fenced in back yard. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. Pets are welcome on the furniture in my home.

About: Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm on the board of a local dog rescue so I have a lot of experience with all breeds and personalities. I'm also the president of a foundation that gives scholarships to the families of pets with emergency veterinary medical bills that they can't afford. For several years I have been very involved in the Lansing area dog community. I'm extremely passionate about helping and taking care of animals.

I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to help you with your own sweet babies. I also have a lot of experience with special needs dogs. I have my own and have taken care of many in our rescue. I look forward to meeting your super sweet fur kids!

“Beanie loves Kenzie! She is super reliable and on time even when it’s been days with crappy weather. Plus, she always gets the cutest, derpiest photo of Beanie for the walk card which makes me smile when I see it after their walk!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs in 2017, when I was in fifth grade! Since then, I've become the trustworthy dog and house-sitter for my neighborhood, and have taken care of multiple households of pets at the same time! I also love to be active, and would love to take your pup on long (or short!) walks! I am home for summer for college, and have plenty of time to love on some dogs! I can walk dogs for ranging periods of time at any point during the day, and drop in at any time during the day! In clients home, I will make sure to keep pups in the approved areas, and give them lots of care during drop ins. I prefer to spend more time with the animals than less, and make sure they are loved on during the long days!!

I would love to give your pet company playing their favorite games or just hanging out as well. I love walks, playing games, and being a loving pet companion.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.

About: I was raised with dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of breeds and ages. I was a dog-sitter while in grad school and really enjoyed getting to watch other people’s pets as well. I adopted a senior cat during COVID and have loved having my first ever cat. Since adopting her as a senior, I have gained experience giving her a variety of medications and dealing with different quirks and challenges. I love both cats and dogs, and would love the chance to get to know your pets! I understand how stressful it can be to entrust your beloved friend to someone else, but I am a very responsible person who would treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat mine. I am able to accommodate most schedules and have a lot of open availability during the week, as well as most weekends. I’m able to be flexible to meet the needs of you and your pets! I am unable to offer boarding services in my own home. When providing drop-in visits or other services in your home, I’m happy to be flexible! I am very trustworthy and am willing to help with other household tasks as needed, such as bringing in mail or packages.

Okemos dog parents share their Rover experiences
The weather was, well, like Michigan weather! We had to keep rearranging the time to avoid rain, and Zach was so accommodating! I asked Zach to do some very difficult/advanced dog behavior tasks involving walking 2 dogs together, one of them in heat, the other one reactive. (I took one of the dogs, he took the other.) He was very open to feedback as the walk unfolded. He even said Ari (the reactive dog that I find so difficult!) was a "good dog"! WOW!! Will definitely use Zach again!!

Leah was amazing! Took beanie’s walks on short notice even though it was an evening walk, which I’m so thankful for! She has great communication - her reports were so detailed and her pictures of Beanie were so cute. When I came home a few hours later, he was still tired so they clearly made the most of his 30 minute walk 🐶 We will definitely re-book with Leah!
