“Jackie is amazing!!!!! She went above and beyond in every way. She truly cares + adores the animals she watches. This was our first time using her and hope to use her many times going forward. Our dog ended up getting sick and she cared for him like he was her own. Her communication was thorough and prompt. She updated us throughout the entire booking. We are so thankful for Jackie!”

“Sometimes luck is on your side. We chose Cara at random from possible Rover dog walkers, and it turns out she is a dream come true! Punctual, flexible, kind, funny, and smart, she has turned out to be exactly the right person for our needs and preferences. Pivo goes nuts with excitement when he sees her coming. He performs zoomies on walks, and even though she says he's tired out, will do them when he's back. We love her! Yay, Cara! Awesome job!”

11. Nathan W.
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I could remember. I have watched my dad train 2 of our Labrador retrievers and have always been the one in charge of the dogs when my parents were gone. I genuinely love dogs so you’re pet won’t be bored! My routine is mostly free since I am not in an internship right now. I am a student at Western Michigan and I have the most free time in the middle of the day since I have morning classes. My mother uses this app to house our dog when we are out of town so I completely understand the much needed trust between the pet sitter and client. I’ve taken care of my dogs and have walked other dogs plenty of times. When your dog is in my hands I will be committed to providing safety, fun walks, and playtime tailored to each dog.
12. Maggie W.
“Maggie is the best!! Our dogs were staying with my elderly parents while we were out of town and needed to be walked everyday. Maggie came to our rescue and walked them daily and gave them VIP treatment! Maggie is a dependable, professional loving care giver and we would definitely call her again to care for our dogs!!”
13. Madison M.
“Our little guy Jeffrey loves Madison. She has a way with animals and is very intuitive. We have trusted Madison with the care of our dog several times in the past 2 years. I would definitely hire her for any future care whether it’s walking or dog sitting.”
14. Adaora O.
About: Hi! My name is Adaora, I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and have taken care of my family’s now senior dog most of his life, so I’m well versed in all stages of dog life at this point. Currently I have one 2 year old dog who I raised from 3 months old (who is very high energy, so there will be plenty of walks and exercise while your pup is here.) I also have experience training dogs, so if you need some additional help with basic commands and dog walking, I’d be happy to assist! I am a student full time during the week, but have availability and a lot of energy throughout the weekends from sitting in class all day, which is where your dog comes in! I love spending my time with my dog and others dogs, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors in my backyard gardening or going on walks and hikes which is always more fun accompanied by a furry friend! I have a fenced in yard and 1 other doggo who has plenty of energy and toys laying around the house to help entertain your pup. A typical daycare day will usually look like hanging out outside for a bit, play time with me, snack time, at some point I’ll separate the doggos so they can all rest, then we’ll go for a walk and maybe snuggle up inside for a bit. If everyone is particularly energetic we’ll go back outside and play again. My goal here is to give your dog a fun, stress free place to be while you are at work or away for the day/weekend, because that’s always what I want for my dog when I’m gone.

I am currently a grad student and am looking for work opportunities around animals as I am studying veterinary! I clean my cats litter box everyday and take my dog on daily walks 3-4 times daily I have doggy and cat doors for both my 4 legged friends and a fence for protection. I will ensure to gain trust from your pets and keep them as safe as possible
16. Ella B.
About: I have been surrounded by pets since I was born. I have taken care of me and my families dogs from puppies, pregnancy, and till sadly some have left us. Each holding a precious place in my heart. I have look after firends and family pets, ranging any where from tiny puppies to giant dogs. I am not scared of any breed of dog, I belive all dogs have a sweet heart and diverse personalities. Each dog deserves the benefit of the doubt. I will treat your dog with the same care and safety as I would my own dogs. I am a college freshman and also teach swimming lessons to young kids. I love spending time with my dog, I enjoy taking her to Beck lake. We do enjoy a casual Bridgerton episode here and there. I approach dogs with positive energy and love. I try to keep the environment calm as well as having great patience for dogs. I am a great believer in positive reinforcement when it comes to the treatment of pets.
