“Teri was awesome! Her services were very helpful and she took great care of my pup. I couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking to trust someone with their animals. She is very genuine and down to earth. I knew right away that I could count on her!”


About: As a stay-at-home mom, I offer dependable, personalized dog walking with a flexible schedule and plenty of attention for your pet. I grew up with Great Danes and cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, that means I can focus all of my attention on the animals in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to make every walk a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience. As a stay-at-home mom, my young children accompany me on dog walks. They ride quietly in a stroller and are gentle and respectful around animals. Please ensure you are comfortable with this arrangement before booking my services. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I can provide reliable walks, exercise, companionship, and individualized attention for your pet. I provide loving, attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure pets receive plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals according to their routine, and a safe, comfortable environment. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, helping them feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you are away.
“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”


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.

“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 taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently job hunting and available whenever I'm needed. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University studying Kinesiology. I love staying active and have a passion for animals, so what better than combining the two together?! I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Lori was incredibly sweet and patient with both me and my dog. A wonderful dog walker and a wonderful person. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you.”
About: I grew up as a kid taking care of our family dog, taking her on walks, playing with her outside, and all the other things that come with dogs. I now have several cats and play with them, clean their litter, and everything that a cat needs and loves. I eventually would love a dog of my own one day and want the experience to prepare myself! I work at a school and have the summer off, so I currently have all the time in the world and most days and times available. In my home, I make sure to give all of my pets attention throughout the day. When they want pets, I give them pets; when they want to be left alone, I give them space. They come to me for love and affection and I love them with my whole heart.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.
About: I have been on rover for almost 3 years now, I have experience in all care fields (child, adult, and animal), and am also a licensed massage therapist. I have 6 adorable Pugbulls and one cat.I've cared for fish, cats, and dogs. In a 30min time block I can usually walk a little over a mile with a dog, even if they want to stop and sniff around a bit. I love all animals and am always willing to look after new types of animals! Unfortunately I’m not currently taking on new weekly walks, I will update this should that change. Currently my schedule is very flexible and open during the whole week. Should that schedule change I will update this description and let any clients I’m working with know. I have a very flexible work schedule as a massage therapist, if a day isn’t available I will have it updated as unavailable on my rover calendar. I always make sure to allow all pets to come to me at their own pace without making them feel like I’m invading their personal space. This helps them be comfortable with me quickly and feel safe in their home.
About: I have taken care of a wide range of animals, some that need some extra care and some that just need love, I will be sure to meet your pets needs I am available pretty much any day of the week and most anytime just let me know your needs and I will be sure to get back with you I have a large home that your pups or cats would be able to play in but also be safe in, I have one dog that loves other dogs and cats but if for some reason they do not, I have a crate and or can easily separate them from room to room. I also have a sizeable yard that they would be able to play in although it is not fenced in but is in the country.
About: I grew up with 5 pets in the house, 3 dogs and 2 cats. I loved taking all the dogs on walks and playing with them on the beach or outside in the yard. And when I’m inside, I love chilling with the cats :) I am currently only working part-time so I have a very open schedule due to recently graduating from MSU. I am more than happy to work with you on scheduling if needed. I treat any home as if it’s my own. Currently I live in an apartment and will not be able to take your pets to my residence, I am more than happy to stay in your’s. I am a fast learner and can adapt to new environments very well :)
About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.
