About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself or your loved one. I am working in person but can accommodate a certain schedule with advance notice to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”
“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”
“I am so thankful for Wesley! I injured my knee and haven’t been able to walk my dog. I could tell she was getting depressed. Then I found Wesley and he is really nice and so good with my dog. Now when Wesley comes to take her for a walk she is so happy and excited!! I am happy for her :) Thank you Wesley!!”
“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”
“Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!”
“Dean was amazing! I needed someone last minute and he accommodated for my request. Great communicator and my puppy enjoyed their interactions. Will definitely book again!”
“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”
About: I’ve had several years of experience with pets of all different kinds. I used to work for a professional pet sitting company, a dog day care, and currently work at a vet clinic. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs, and hyperarousal behavior. I am currently working full time at a local veterinary clinic, and I am pet sitting part time on my days off! I am available on Friday's, some Tuesday's, and some weekends. I do not offer services in my own home as I have two dogs of my own, however I do drop in visits/walks at your home!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so being around animals feels second nature to me. I currently have a rescue dog who’s a golden retriever–husky mix (with some shepherd and lab in there too!), so I understand the unique needs that can come with mixed breeds and rescue pets. I’m a trusted, responsible adult who truly loves animals and treats every pet like family. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree online, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. Since I set my own hours, I can easily work around your pet’s needs—whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. You can count on me to show up on time, give your pet lots of attention, and keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I don’t offer pet care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to come to you for drop-in visits or walks. When I’m in your home, I treat it—and your pets—with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors are secure, routines are followed, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer visit, I aim to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for while keeping you updated along the way.
“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!”
About: Since the age of 12, I have taken care of both dogs and cats! I love animals and do not discriminate against breed or age. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable and at peace when you are away from them. My experience ranges from overnight sitting, day sitting, bathing, feedings, bathroom breaks, administering medications, and quick check-in's. My goal is to make your pets feel loved, well taken care of, and happy while in my care. I work a full time job, Monday-Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I typically only work 1 day in office and the other four at home. I am able to bring my computer and do my work outside of my office and home location. When I am in the office, there are opportunities for me to stop by and let your animals use the bathroom, eat, or play. In your home, I will make sure to follow the routine that best fits your pet. Whether it is adhering to a specific diet, giving them medicine, following a bathroom schedule, etc., I want to make your time away from them as easy as possible. I will care for your pets like they are my own and always keep open communication throughout my time with them.
“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!!”
“First time using Rover, Maddie was my first booking and she’s been wonderful! I expressed how I was a bit anxious having a stranger take my Luna for a walk since I’ve always had family or friends take care/walk her. But Maddie made me feel at ease through it all!”
About: I grew up with pets and currently have my own 4 fur babies at home! I own my home with a fenced in yard! I can watch your dog in my home if you prefer but do not mind staying over if that is what you would like! I offer walking services as well if that is what your fur baby needs during the day. I do allow my pets on the furniture and bed but can keep yours off if you would prefer! Being crate trained is not necessary and I can help with potty training for any puppies that will be in my care. I do have a full time 9-5 job but I can easily leave at lunch for any potty breaks your fur babies will need! I do work full time 9-5 every day but I can leave for lunch to let your fur baby outside or give meds if needed! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in! I stay outside with them while they do business to ensure safety. Playtime is a necessity so we will have multiple times a day to play outside with a tennis ball or go for walks
About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

“Emma is my go to Pup sitter, not only does she make sure my dogs have the necessities; but also puts in all the extra love. I left my 3 dogs under Emma's care for a long weekend. Very happy with the care and quality of attention to my animals. Will always recommend; however she may be busy sitting for me!”
Morgan M.
“When we relocated from Arizona to Michigan, one of the struggles we had with the decision was losing Morgan as our pet caretaker. I am heavily involved in animal rescue and work with cats and dogs with both emotional and physical special needs. Morgan is the only person I trusted the care of a multi pet high needs house to. He always made sure medications and feedings were correct and on time. This is a huge ask when one dog has seizures and needs meds three times a day, while another dog has anxiety and thyroid meds twice a day, and the special needs cat needs his specific food and meds at precise times twice a day intermingled with random incontinence. Morgan handled them all with grace, giving them love and care as his own pets. They were always well cared for and happy when we came home, and the house in order. If you want someone with competence, love, and the ability to care for your healthy or sickly pets as one of their own...you want Morgan.”
Barb C.
“Barb is amazing!!! Every time she gets home, Lola gets super excited because she knows is time for her walk! Barb is sweet and very kind with my baby!! 100% recommended!!”
South Westnedge dog parents share their Rover experiences
First time using Rover, Maddie was my first booking and she’s been wonderful! I expressed how I was a bit anxious having a stranger take my Luna for a walk since I’ve always had family or friends take care/walk her. But Maddie made me feel at ease through it all!
Kathryn was great at communicating and my dog loved his 60+ min walk! She made sure to send lots of videos and photos. I could tell he was in good hands and felt totally at ease with a “stranger” walking him. We will definitely be booking her for future walks!
