“Sally is great with dogs and has a lovely area to walk them! My dogs are rarely away from me and they were well taken care of. Sally was flexible with my pick up time after my plane was delayed. I highly recommend her.”
“Morgan took great care of Potato! I was very nervous about leaving Potato alone for the first time but Morgan was awesome. Morgan sent photos and updates throughout the stay which was very nice to see and helped make the time away very relaxed and enjoyable. Potato really enjoyed herself. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lucie was always sure to send updates and even sent us photos while our dogs were in her care. She has a fenced in yard so my dogs were able to feel right at home when they needed to go outside. Even better yet, our dogs sleep in our bed and Lucie treated them as her own and let two medium/large dogs join them in bed lol. Thank you for letting my dogs feel right at home! Highly recommend!”
About: Being raised on a dairy farm I’ve been around all sorts of animals, big and small. From kittens, chickens, calves, dogs to full size cows I have done it all.

Currently I’m a stay at home mom caring for my 3 year old and 2 gentle giants. Weekdays, weekends, nights or mornings, I can be there for you! I have a very large yard(field) and two gentle giants to keep your babies content and happy. Look forward to a clean, exercised and fed pup when you get home! I have a giant crate also if needed.
“Audrey was wonderful! We were in a bind last minute and she saved us. Audrey is very responsive, sent pictures of our boy and put my mind at ease. It can be so challenging finding care you trust for your pets but I would absolutely recommend Audrey and would use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds and sizes of animals since a very young age, I love spending my time outdoors all year round no matter the weather! I’ve always had a passion for not just dogs but all types of animals and will continue to always believe animals are better than people.🤍 I’m currently home full time Monday through Sunday (with the exception of appointments, shopping, etc.) and am available from morning to night and even overnight stays!

About: Looking for a trusted and affordable pet sitter, I’m your gal. I love-love cats and volunteer with local rescues. I have 2 of my own and sit for my neighbors. I drop in daily—feed, water, clean litter and of course show ‘em some love. I have helped a local rescue and happy to provide references.
About: I also have a kitty, far away in Holt, named Stella. I've had cats my whole life; fixed, unfixed, inbred, well cared for, neglected; I've seen it all. I'm now devoted to befriending every cat, one patient interaction at a time. I have no judgement towards any situation, and only care about giving your cat the best care I can.
About: I always had a dog growing up as a kid. They give me so much happiness and joy, in life. I use to work at a veterinary office as a assistant so I have a lot of experience with all types of animals. ****I am currently a full time healthcare employee**** I will accommodate best I can to your pet needs! I will make your pet feel at home💕 My dog loves to run so I have a big open yard for her to do all that in. I can play outside or inside with the animals. I do work full time as a healthcare employee. I work three 12 hour shifts. I will accommodate the best I can with your schedule. I will follow your pets schedule as provided when we do a meet and greet! I want what’s best for the animal and client. 💗
“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover. She responded quickly to all of our messages and our pug was in good shape when we went to pick her up. I definitely recommend Lucie for pet care. She's great!”
“Kacey is new to this daycare setting, sally made him feel welcome and did a meet and greet with the dogs he would be spending time with. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He came home happy and tired.”

About: My passion is dogs. I have one doggie right now. She loves other dogs. I have done rescues for years and my joy is too see a doggie get adopted out. I once put my dog in a daycare and thank goodness there were cameras to watch her. She was terrified, so I will never do that again. It's hard to find a good place for your dog to stay if you can't take them with you. This is why I want to pursue being with Rover.com, so I can help pet owners be at ease when they have to leave their pets. Please consider me! You won't be disappointed. I love big, medium and small sized dogs. I want you go enjoy your time and know your doggie is in good hands. I am retired, so I am available at all times. I love watching dogs. I truly communicate with doggies so well. I would ask you give me a chance. I walk them on a leash. I also will pet sit at your house. I will crate them if need be. You will find I am one of the best pet sitters.
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic! A last minute doggy daycare request turned into a great time for our puppy! Jenna was great at adhering to his schedule, provided lots of photos and updates, and was so excited to watch him! Will definitely be using Jenna again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Houghton Lake
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: My family and friends trust me to watch their animals for extended periods of time. I have experience in dog and cat sitting, as well as administering oral medications. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I'm somewhat of a cat doula, after witnessing and aiding the birth of several litters. I love to take walks and be outdoors. Available every day! Summer allows flexible scheduling. Based on reserve rd, I can travel up to 10 minutes on a 4 wheeler to your place. I keep homes tidy and tread only where allowed. I'm willing to do small chores and adhere to any rules or rituals your pet is accustomed to. I'm a "pet first" kind of sitter, I won't provoke your little friend. I take time to establish trust and give them space.

About: Hello! I am a full-time traveller and petsitter based in Roscommon county. My rate for walks and drop-ins is for Roscommon county only. If you are booking either of these services in a neighboring country I will have to raise the rate to adjust for travel expense. For housesitting, I may have to travel some distance to get to you, but I have never canceled or missed a booking. I will be spending most of my time in your home, so it’s perfect for pets who can’t be left alone for too long. Any questions? Please Message. EXPERIENCE I'm an experienced pet sitter, and beginner dog trainer. I enjoy learning about dog psychology and different training methods, but if I am totally honest animal behavior is something that first comes natural to me. I would love to help reinforce or curate a training program for your dogs, cater to their emotional needs, or simply oxytocin bathe with them! It would give me the opportunity to dial-in and work towards offering more specialized pet and animal services. ABOUT I have a lifetime of general caregiving and pet care experience, but have only turned to it as a source of income within the last few years when I developed a disability, and had to throw in the towel on the type of work I was doing before. As such I am not able to handle large dogs over 65 pounds if they pull on walks. I am also not able to do tug-o-war, or withstand throwing a ball if as a sole form of exercise and enrichment. The exercise I provide must be diversified and staggered throughout the day. A win in my book, since this is actually better for pets as well! I've been on Rover specifically since Oct 2024, and my main focus has been on house sitting. I am willing to travel further out for extended stays, but prefer to limit walks and drop-ins to my neighborhood. I strive for my extended-stay clients to have peace of mind during a trip away. Please feel free to message me about your expectations, and any questions you may have. AVAILABILITY One of the benefits of gig work for me is the privilege to live with the flow of life. I do a good job of keeping my calendar current, but being that I am in a transitional period of life and live in a state of travel, I prefer not to book too far into the future. And I don't mind last minute requests. Messages about scheduling and availability are always welcomed. SAFETY Animals naturally warm up to me and feel safe and comfortable with me, but of course there always exist exceptions. I prefer not to handle XL breeds, dogs with aggressive proclivities, or severe pulling and behavioral issues on walks. I can do drop-in and overnight sitting for large dogs if walks are not expected, or the dog is well behaved and doesn’t pull. I bring with me a tactical belt that serves as a waist harness to attach leashes, as well as an Ezy Dog leash and coupler, just to have some extra options for comfort and security. This setup works better if your dogs have harnesses. Of course I don't have to use it and can use what you provide. We should review your emergency contact info and preferred emergency plan(s), as well as any security measures in place for, or that I should uphold for your home. Alarm system? Is your home a key-less entry or will there be a key hidden?
About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”
