“Michael did a great job with Dudley. He had last minute availability and I felt great knowing he was there caring for my dog while I was away. He kept me updated! Thank you!”
“Ashley has been an amazing addition to our tribe. Bodhi absolutely loves spending time with Ashley and playing with her when she visits. She has been a great communicator and the first time they met Bodhi couldn’t stop wagging his tail! Little man knows a good human when he mets one. She’s the best!!!!!!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience with pets of all kinds from chickens to rabbits to dog and cats and from babies to senior pets. Not only have I had my own pets throughout my life but also have taken care of many family and friends as well. I love every fur baby like my own! I work remotely 100% of the week. It gives me flexibility for pet care as well as loads of time for attention, play and walks.. I am available for drop ins only at this time. But my flexible remote work schedule allows for plenty of time for loads of attention, play, walks, and potty breaks. I will provide exactly the amount of love and care your pets are used to…and then some!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm and have dog sat for friends and family since I was 12. I have both experienced training a puppy of my own and also taking care of a senior dog. I like being active and outside so I would love to take you dogs for walks and play with them while you are gone. I have 1 dog of my own, she is a very energetic cane corso! I’m currently a college student so I have a very flexible schedule with 2 hours in between some of my classes. On weekdays I would mostly be available for drop in’s. To let your pets outside and play with them until I need to get back school. Fridays and weekends I am completely free. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have lots of land so I trained my dog with an invisible fence so she knows not to wonder off with a human with her. My dog does have her own room that acts as a crate.
About: I’ve worked with shelter dogs and have dog sat for family & friends. I have experience administering medications, consistent let out times, and dog/cat enrichment! I work part time and have open availability after work as well. Working only three days gives me flexibility on my time off, meaning plenty of time to play, walk, and hangout. I maintain four fish tanks and care for two cats! The cats have a catio and plenty of towers to scratch, play, and climb on.
About: Pet Experience I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. 🐾 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and keeping pets company. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique routine. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care! 🐶🐱💕 Availability I am currently available on weekdays and weekends with flexible scheduling. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work around your schedule to ensure your pet gets the care they need. Safety & Trust Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🐾 I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your furry friend, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 💕
About: I am a reliable and compassionate dog sitter/walker with a very flexible schedule.

I am an online college student and have a very flexible schedule right now for house sitting, walks or check-ins. I would love to take care of your dogs or cats! Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize their comfort and well being. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and energy levels, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I also enjoy cozying up with pets during quiet downtime and playing calm music to help create a relaxing atmosphere. My goal is to provide a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away, and I am happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind. I am also respectful of clients' homes, keeping spaces clean and tidy and leaving everything as I found it.
About: I’ve had dogsmy entire life and have began walking dogs when I moved to Downtown Detroit in 2020. I find the best way to explore a new city is on foot, alongside a furry friend 🐶💃🏻 I’m new to Petoskey and plan to do the same here 🏡🥰 I’m blessed to be a freelancer so my schedule is quite flexible and I’m never away from home for too long, just the way I like it! ☺️ All rooms of my home are baby gated, allowing me to ensure my daughter and I, our pets and our guests are all comfortable 🥰
“So thankful that Christine was able to walk Franny for us today on such short notice. They were so easy to work with and did a wonderful job with her. I highly recommend hiring Christine and her husband to care for your pup. They even offered to come back if our day trip took longer than expected”
About: I have loved and cared for many critters in my lifetime. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians. I love them all! We have one dog (Sawyer) and two cats (Marble and Nash). My 8 year old son and I would be the ones caring for your fur babies. My son helps me with the feeding and watering, as well as the litter box and backyard landmines. He gives the animals lots of love and cuddles. I work a lot during the week, but I would be available for any dog walking or drop-in visits before or after work during the week, depending on what we have going on that week. If you're looking for a getaway for a couple of nights, I'm available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. We have a house with 4 acres of unfenced property. Any dogs that are boarded here will be walked on the property regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise. We also have a lot of trails nearby that we could walk if the weather is decent. If your dog is friendly and social, we aren't too far from Gaylord, where there is a dog park. That way, they can get some serious running in!
About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience, work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Petoskey is $25

Michael was great with Carly! He was very easy to schedule with and was very quick to communicate and if needed adjust the time for Carly's walk. I appreciate how easy going he was and the he always sent a picture to show me what Carly was up to! Happy to use Michael again for my stay here in Michigan and will recommend him to friends!

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 Petoskey. 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 Petoskey.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
