About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 3rd year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. Currently I am completely available for the next three months Monday-Sunday 24/7. I am able to watch your dogs and cats or just take your dogs for walks if needed. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better walker. He fit Logan into his busy schedule which meant a lot to me. I have tendinitis so I can’t walk my dog right now so trying to find someone to walk him in such short notice wasn’t easy. Definitely a life saver!”

“Ryan has been walking my dog,Polka, for the last week now and it’s been a godsend. I’m back working in the office and I’m gone all day. So to be able to trust Ryan to come and walk Polka and get her out of the house halfway through the day has been awesome. He’s reliable, responsible, and Polka loves him.”

About: I own 8 dogs and cats. I bred and trained my personal medical service dog (who goes everywhere with me) and do small time animal rescue. As much as I love my job, there are sometimes dogs we can't accept for various reasons and it's those dogs whom I enjoy caring for the most! From diabetics, semi paralyzed, nerve damage or simply just don't like other dogs, I am very flexible and accommodating for any need you or your pet may have. Don't hesitate to reach out!! Between myself, my husband, and our 3 teenage boys, we can cover just about any need you have and work together as a team to accomplish exceptional service! I typically only work 6 hour shifts with weekends off which gives me plenty of time for puppy care! If I'm not here, I have 3 boys who love dogs and know how to properly care for them in a safe and loving environment I always treat all animals as I treat my own. With outmost love and patience and kindness. And I know how to adapt my actions from animal to animal to meet their needs

About: Hi everyone! I currently am a full time stay at home mom so I have open availability all day. I am a proud dog mama to a Shih Tzu/Havanese mix, named Koko Bean; she is 3 years old. I also adopted a 1-year-old Tabby cat named Gatsby; he is 4 years old. I dog and cat sit a lot for my family, coworkers, friends, etc., so I do have a lot of experience. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I would love to answer. **Please note my cancellation policy: Clients get a full refund if they cancel by noon 3 days before the stay starts.

“We are so happy with Mackenzie and how she treats Mocha and our zoo. Rover is a great service and we are so fortunate to have this support and love from Mackenzie. Thanks!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently on summer break and working a part-time job on weekends. I am available during the week and some weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have plenty of free time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.
“Kirsti did a terrific job taking care of our 12 year old Maltipoo. She was on time for every scheduled walk and sent me lots of pics and video. She was even able to accommodate an unexpected request to extend care for an additional two days due to unexpected travel circumstances. I will definitely use Kirsti again and I highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up on a horse and cattle farm with no shortage of family pets of all shapes and sizes, so a love of all animals was instilled from a very young age. I began by caring for the pets of family and friends but quickly discovered that I wanted to expand my clientele. I treat animals with the utmost care and respect at all times, just as I would any treasured family member. When beloved family pets are in my care, one can rest assured they will receive all the adoration and attention they deserve. I take safety and health very seriously, especially coming from a nursing and compliance professional background. I would be absolutely honored to be entrusted to care for your fur babies! I am currently working part-time from home as well as attending an online degree program, with a pretty flexible schedule overall. I am able to openly schedule bookings as needed at this time. When pets are in my home, I try to stick to a consistent routine (feeding, play, walks, etc). Generally speaking, pets are treated as members od the family. As long as it's not a safety concern, the animals have the ability to freely move between rooms with supervision. I will use baby gates to block off certain areas as needed. For example: some dogs are very interested in my cat's litter box or the bathroom trash can, so I will often block those areas so the dog cannot reach them.
“So grateful to have Autumn coming everyday to walk the dogs and feed them. She is punctual, provides a great report and takes pix every time. She has also been so helpful and added services we needed added on last notice. We feel very comfortable and the dogs love her!”

About: Hello! My name is Rickia Jones! I am an animal lover overall. I especially love dogs and cats. Since the age of seven I have had a variety of dogs that were a different breed. I just recently gotten a cat almost 2 years ago and I love her. I have to two golden retrievers who are a year old and I love them as well. I love to take my dogs for walks and spend as much time as I can with them. I have also been a house sitter for dogs and cats through family members and never had complaints. I really just love dogs and would love to help anybody that will need help taking care of their animals. I have a real big heart and I just want to help.

“Samantha is Amazing. Drake suffer from anxiety & fear. Instantly Drake took to Samantha, which lets me know that Drake feels safe with her!! I mentioned to Samantha that I would like to someday take Drake for a walk on a trail or to a park. She told me about a trail she knew & asked if she could take Drake there for his walk today and I said that would be awesome. After their time walking on the trail, Samantha sent me photos of the walk and let me know that Drake had a great time exploring new things and that he was a good boy. Over the last 6 months, Drake has been in training to develop skills to help cope with his anxiety & fear. Thank you so much Samantha for the patience and love you showed Drake today!! Taking him on trail walk with good behavior lets me know that his trainings working!! You will definitely be the 1st person I contact to care for Drake in the future!!”

About: I have rescued three dogs from the humane society ranging from 2 months to 5 years in age. I have done a lot of research on what is and is not good for most dogs as far as diet and nutrition. I am in good athletic shape and can handle any size dog confidently and know how to deal with situations calmly and safely if they arise. My dog is not just my pet he's part of my family and I would treat yours the same. I own a small local landscaping company leaving me plenty of time to focus on my passion for animals. I hope to be able to solely focus on pet care soon. In the clients home, I like to familiarize the animal with me be taking it for a long walk. I also follow the owners schedule for walks, feeding and medications. I focus on giving the animals attention, affection, play and exercise. I will keep your animal safe, happy, and healthy.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and understanding of animals. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all kinds, giving them the same attention, affection, and patience I would give my own. Every visit, walk, or cuddle is a chance to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a student and work part time so I’m available at any time during the weekday + sundays to drop in or take your dog for a nice walk. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I do not host dogs in my home, which means I can fully focus on caring for them in their own familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I’m attentive, cautious on walks, and always make sure pets feel secure and loved.
