About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“I'm so glad Mckensi was able to walk my dogs today! My 2 pups are very different and I don't know many who can handle the puppy's...exuberance...but Mckensi took it all in stride when she met them pre-walk, and was able to handle walking them both together! (Next time I'll leave you a map of suggested routes, so you get a more varied walk ?)”
About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.
About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.
About: I’m the type of girl who walks up to you and asks if I can pet your dog! They bring so much joy to my life❤️ When I lived with my parents, I had the opportunity to grow up with a Whippet for the past 6 years! She’s 11 years old now, and she is just the sweetest little girl ever. She’s also a speed demon and still can catch squirrels and/or bunnies making me a very avid potty watcher;) Since I’m still in school and working part-time, I know that being a dog sitter would be a wonderful addition to my life! I’m more than willing to spend time with your dog regardless of age, disability, emotional capacity, and bonding ability! With my schedule right now, I am very accommodating to you and your dog’s needs. Know that ensuring your dog to my care not only promises the love and care that your pet needs, but also ensures that love and care to me as well! That’s how much I love dogs. Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry loved one(s)! As a part-time assistant coach and online grad student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your dog consistent attention, comfort, and care. Whatever you need, I can make it work with my schedule! Even though I don’t have dogs of my own at home right now, I’m able to create a peaceful, safe, and welcoming environment just for yours. My space stays clean, calm, and free of distractions, which helps pets settle in quickly and feel secure. I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to comfort items and cues—so your pet feels consistency and familiarity even in a new place. I’m big on safety and trust: clear communication, careful supervision, and a home set up with your pet’s well-being in mind. Because I don’t have other animals here, your pet gets my full, focused attention and lots of one-on-one care. My goal is always to make your pet feel understood, safe, and genuinely loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 families in my neighborhood as well as walked them for 3 of the families. I love getting to know them and care for them. I am currently working part time at Monelli’s as a hostess, as well as preparing to be a full time student at Western Michigan University in the fall. Pet care will be a side hustle to fit in where I can so I have something fun to do between classes. As I settle into routine, I may be open to house sitting on the weekends. I have many pet sitting experiences and I am quick an active person, so I love to go on walks with the fur babies. Currently, pet sitting would be at a client’s house because I live with my parents and will be moving into a dorm in the fall.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Experienced all ages and kinds. I’m also experienced in cat care as well as kittens. I’ve raised livestock since age 10! I relish human connections, but I have a deep passion for connecting with animals. I am highly adaptable when it comes to caring for your furry companion. I have a cat who needs his own space. I live in a large house with multiple levels and rooms, and I’m more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate him. My cat takes medication daily, and I’m knowledgeable about animal behavior.
“Samantha has been walking my 2 dogs for several weeks and I couldn't be happier! She always sends a post-walk report on how they did, and she takes great pictures of my "kids"- which is not easy to do. She's able to handle my rambunctious and reactive younger dog and balance that with my low energy senior dog.”
About: With all the love I have for my friends' fury babies, I feel that I can share the love with all fury babies in the city of Kalamazoo. I would love to own a puppy of my own, but my living situation doesn't allow for it. Life is crazy and if I can help take a small weight off your shoulders, it would be a win-win situation. Not only will you not have to worry about your four-legged friend, but I will enjoy spending time getting to know your dog. Being a recent college graduate taking a year off before attending graduate school, scheduling will not be an issue. God gave us two hands to pet two dogs at once. I would love to love your babies!
About: I just love pets … and want to take care of yours as my own! I have either owned or had a pet in my life … ALL of my life! I do know what it takes to love and care for them and take this responsibility seriously 😊. I am a retired Army guy of 34 years and this is just a next opportunity for me to help those in the community that need someone to entrust their fur baby to someone and honored it could be me! Just again a retired army guy that has a fair amount of flexibility and doing this as a fun gig job … if the dates and times work for both of us then great, if not I hope I can align with you another time! We currently are taking care of our ‘granddog’, Larry the Corgi. Larry has a partially fenced yard but has been trained to stay in yard while we are out with him. We have also had huskies which of course needed a fenced in yard so we also had that for their safety as runners! Both dogs each walked on leashes, he plenty of playtime outside with other dogs, and provided safe and comfy sleeping places in and out! Our fur babies where treated like family and look forward to treating yours as the same per YOUR guidance and preferences
About: Helloo! My name is Sophia and I’m an artist, rock climber, cat mom, & dog mom! I adopted a very anxious Boxer mix while finding cats in need along the way. I take care of my doggo & seven lively cats. I’ve loved animals all of my life & I’m excited to help care for yours! I’m a server and art business owner. Most of my days & evenings are free, my work is part time so my schedule is much more open! Every animal has different needs but whatever those needs may be, they’ll always be taken care of. My top priority is to be a safe space when the kids are away from their parents!
About: Hi my name is Natasha and I don’t really have any professional dog sitting experience but I have about five years of personal experience. If you choose me I guarantee that your fur baby will be taken care of and loved to the best of my ability. With the weather being so nice out I take the dogs out for walks about 2-3 times a day depending on how long the walk lasts. We go out to go potty about once every hour or so depending on the dogs needs. If you have any other questions don’t be afraid to text me whenever I usually respond pretty quickly. I’m currently working part time(before and after school) so I have plenty of time to give your dogs some love. I’m available every day all day! I have a small yard and plenty of walking area to give your dogs all the exercise they need. I do have two dogs of my own so they would have friends to play with as well
About: I have grown up around working dogs helping my mom with care and training. I am comfortable with all dogs big and small, young and old. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and can administer medications, I even have experience with catheters if needed. I can assist with agility and obedience training for enrichment and set up activities to keep your pup stimulated. I have two years of experience volunteering at the Kalamazoo Nature Center in animal care so I can even provide care to snakes, salamanders, toads, turtles, raccoons, squirrels, and birds. I am currently attending KCC in Battle Creek and have classes from 1pm - 2:30pm Monday - Thursday. My weekends are typically free but I will of course communicate any schedule conflicts. I follow the owners routine and requests to a t to ensure their fur babies are as comfortable as possible while their parents are away.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pavilion. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Pavilion.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pavilion. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
