“Kara is fantastic with our energetic lab puppy. She's so loving with animals and has been dependable for our dog walking needs. She's also really good with training out bad behaviors in our puppy. Thanks so much!”
“Deena was great with Gunnar. He warmed up to her quickly. Trustworthy, on time, kept me updated throughout the day and even helped me out with a few other requests. Will definitely book more with Deena in the future! Thanks again 😊”
“Was able to enjoy a few days out of town knowing I could depend on Allison to take care of my pups with dog walks and drop ins. She's prompt, keeps me updated, takes great pics, and is 100% dependable! My pups love her and we're lucky to have her help 💜”
“Samantha has been awesome with our puppy!!! Her communication is wonderful and she is always prompt. She gives extra TLC and Keira just loves her. We feel fortunate to have found her and we are very comfortable leaving our puppy in her care.”
“Sue is amazing! Very sweet, dependable, and always on time. Our dogs loved her from the start, and we really appreciated her meeting with us beforehand to get familiar with our dogs and our living space. We would absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!!”
“I felt like my dogs were well taken care of when they were with Katy and Luke. They did a wonderful job of communicating with me, meeting the dogs prior to their walk, and showing kindness to us as well. This was a terrific time for me using Rover for the first time.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, both big and small. I started taking care of pets for my neighbors/family around 6 years ago and I love it! I feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am recent college graduate from Grand Valley State University and am currently looking for a full time job. In the meantime, I have plenty of free time to look after your pups! I’ve lived in client’s homes before for up to 3 weeks due to business, so I’m very used to caring for dogs in their home environment. No one knows your dog like you, and I’m more than happy to accommodate to however they like to spend their days!
About: I have been a pet lover, my whole life. Animals are drawn to me and I feel like I am able to understand what they need! I work from home so I am able to give lots of outside potty and exercise breaks. I am home most and I don’t go far from home for long on the weekends Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I currently have two well-loved dogs of my own and actively foster puppies and kittens for a local pet rescue, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of my everyday life. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a midday walk while you’re at work or your cat needs consistent care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I also have a dependable 15-year-old daughter who has grown up around animals and assists when appropriate — giving your pets even more attention and affection. What you can expect: • Reliable, on-time visits • Detailed updates and photos • Experience with puppies, kittens, and rescue animals • Comfortable administering basic medications • Calm, patient care for shy or senior pets Your pets will be treated like family — because that’s how I care for my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱
“She did such a great job with my boys! One is elderly, while the other is scared of everything. She was very patient with them. Both of the boys came back much more relaxed ☺️”
“Caitlin did a great job with Tanner! He has separation anxiety and stranger issues, but she was able to get him to trust and like her. She is prompt and responds to communications quickly. Would definitely use Caitlin again. Thanks.”
“Very pleasant and accommodating. I had her over to my parents home where my dog was staying to walk my pup on relatively short notice. My parents dogs as well as mine all obviously took a shine to her, she sent me photos of the dogs, and was over every day she said she would be and walked for at least 30 min. Definitely someone I would recommend!”
About: I work Monday through Friday with every other Friday off. I am looking to dog sit on my free time during weeknights or weekends. I am very dog friendly with any kind of dog, am very laid back, and love to stay busy. At my house I have no dogs so I'd love to meet yours. ❤ I work at 9 to 5 during the week but have every other Friday off and weekends. I can stop by on the way home from work or work weekends watching your dog. I have a fenced in yard that is fairly big for your dog to run around. I also have a dog bed and cage if needed.
Shelby dog parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!
Lindsey is terrific. Was just a first visit, but it's clear that she is punctual, flexible, and a very comfortable handler. She was totally fine with my large (95 lb) and energetic dog. She trained her own dogs through Happy Tails and knows the commands if that helps. I definitely recommend Lindsey.
