“Molly was absolutely phenomenal!!! Can't say enough positive things! She is kind, sweet, nice, and handled our unsocialized dogs with ease and expertise. Every visit she went above and beyond what we expected. Our German Shepherd that doesn't like anyone warmed up to her in only a few visits. Now they are best friends. Leaving our loved ones home has always been a stressful experience. Not anymore! We are so happy and fortunate to have found Molly, and can't wait to utilize her exemplary services again!”
About: My entire life has been filled with a Love for animals. I treat animals with the utmost respect and care. They are family. I'm am also well versed in Special needs caregiving, including harness walks, backpack walks, wheelchair use, giving medication and first aid care. I love hiking and trail walking to get those sniffers going! Enrichment and positive reinforcement are the foundation of my interaction with animals. I'm currently working full time, but my hours vary depending on the day. I have openings available, and I'm sure we can work out the details. My goal is to get moving! Going outside for some fun games in the yard, in the pool, or on a trail for environmental enrichment hikes is always a delight. I love to get those sniffers working and brains interested. I will always walk with proper equipment, including 6 foot leash, or long lead if allowed. If you have toys, games or favorite treats you would like me to use, I would love to help with keeping your pet happy. Working on training every day is an important part of caring for animals. Busy minds and bodies, make for tired & happy well rounded individuals. Safety is always at the forefront of any interaction and I am confident in my ability to observe a situation based on an animals body language and behavior.
About: I’ve had many dogs and cats that I’ve sat for. I know how to walk them, play, and keep them entertained and happy. I enjoy brushing them and have no problem cleaning up after them or feeding them. When it comes to boarding, I have no problem with the pets sleeping wherever they’re comfortable, and can let them out as often as needed. Whatever special needs they have, I can accommodate. If I stop by during the day, I can play with them and keep them company for a bit while I feed them or let them out. I love all dogs and cats and seeing them happy is what drives me to care for them. I’d love to meet your pets and care for them as needed! I work full time in a hybrid role, so I’m often home most of the day! I am happy to drop in to care for your pet or have them with me. I have two friendly lowkey cats of my own however am happy to keep the pets separate if needed as well. I have a nice yard to play too!
About: I’ve watched friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was 11! I love watching, playing, walking, and bathing dogs! I have always been trusted with those I help and you should too! I am currently a part time student at Lansing Community College, so my weeks are very open to staying with your pets all day if needed!! I also am available for walks during the day or just stopping by to play and let them out!! I am staying with family who have two dogs that aren’t fully dog friendly so my services would only be available at your house only!
“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

About: Hi! My name is Alexis. I’ve had pets for most of my life and I’ve been taking care of dogs since 2009. Because I grew up around dogs, I know what they love, what they don’t, and how to keep them the happiest possible. I love being around dogs and animals in general. I just graduated high school and am currently enrolled in my school’s Early College program which allowed me to take college classes in high school. I am now working towards getting my Associate’s Degree by 2021. I am very caring, gentle, and nurturing and I understand the importance of finding the right person to care for your pet. I’m here to provide reassurance that your pet is in safe hands and good care.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I started to take care of them around the age of 10. Growing up I have two Cane Corsos and one Miniature Schnauzer! I started pet sitting for clients at 16. I’ve taken care of Golden Doodles, Pitbulls, and many more! I’m currently working part time. (about 2-3 days a week) So I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available to pet sit 5 to 6 days a week! I have an unfenced yard but am able to take your fur babies on plenty walks! I have a crate if you need them crated as well.
“Shelby was amazing! This was our first time using rover and it was definitely a great first experience. Moving from a different state and not having any close family to take care of our cats for us while on vacation was stressful at first but after Shelby’s first visit I could tell our cats were gonna be in great hands. She even went out of her way to replace our liter scooper when ours broke half way thru our vacation! We can thank you enough again for such amazing care!! ?”
About: I have cared for my two older dogs for 7 years now! One is a 110 lb Labradoodle and the other is approximately a 10 lb Chihuahua mix, I have learned how to adapt to different dogs needs and even care for close friends’ dogs such as a Boxer, Pitbull Mix and more! I am confident in my ability and I can handle any size dog with the care and attention that they may need. I understand that these are the owners’ babies and I will do my absolute best to make sure that they are cared for in an attentive and loving manner! Regardless of the type, size, or energy level of any dog, I can promise that any individual needs will be met, and that I will return a happy and well cared for dog!
“Miranda was great stopping in to visit my kitty while I was out of town (not a kitty, she's three, but you know how it is). Great communication and I appreciated not having to worry about my let's well being while I was out.”
“Many thanks to Gabby, once again! Our 2 middle/upper-aged cats love her visits! Even our scaredy-cat comes out of hiding when she hears Gabby's voice. Gabby is great with getting back to us quickly & letting us know how her visit went. Highly recommend!”
