Dog Sitting Walker

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve had pets my whole life of all kinds and have watched many of my family and friends pets over the years! I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, plenty of affection, and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and comfort they deserve. My goal is to create a stress free experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable, compassionate care you can count on. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a DPT student at GVSU so outside of class I’m open all afternoons after 3 and Fridays as well as weekends to drop in and visit your pets! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, exercise, and any special requests to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of love and attention, playtime, and potty breaks or litter box cleaning as needed. For walks, I use secure leash handling and stay aware of our surroundings to help keep your dog safe while tailoring each walk to their age, energy level, and individual needs. I respect your home as if it were my own and will ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Another great experience with Alaina. Gone for a week and daily updates on Isabella and picture to help me not feel sad to be without my cat. Will continue to to book Alaina when she is available. Good to know Isabella is comfortable and i have no worries when traveling. Thanks.”

“We’ve been working with Kristy for a while now and we appreciate her flexibility as our schedules can often be a little demanding! She’s great and the doggies love her.”

“I will definitely be booking Carli the next time I need a dog sitter. She was able to commit 2 days prior. The dogs absolutely loved her. Very detailed report, and adorable pictures. Thank you Carli!”

About: I grew up with a chocolate lap and a cat. Taught my dog many tricks and the cat not so much haha. I currently have two cats of my own. I worked as a nurse tech for 5 yrs in the hospital setting and went to emt school as well. Currently in college for radiology tech school and just looking for a job I can do in my free time. I’m able to drop in multiple times a day. I’m very flexible and am up early in the morning and tend to stay up somewhat late. I have a fenced in yard that my upstairs neighbor would use for their dog. I keep an eye on my cats with a camera.

“Tayler did a great job and you can tell she loves cats. One of our cats tends to be hostile toward strangers, and Tayler went above and beyond to try to win her over. We will definitely be using Tayler again.”

About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !

“Isabel was awesome with my 2 little pomeranians. They are handful and took such good care of them. The pictures and little report cards she would send made my day! Definitely would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur babies. Thanks Isabel!”

About: I will treat your dog like Family. They will get much Love and attention. I do dog sitting for family and friends and run a rescue for Siberian huskies so I have alot of dog experience. I am very passionate about what I do and my dogs. Which is why this is the kind of job I will really enjoy. Dogs are so loving and have such amazing different personalities and that is why they are so special and I love taking care of them. I know they are well taken care of when they are with me. I am available for 1st, 2nd and 3rd shift. Thank You for allowing me to tell you a little bit about myself. Looking forward to meeting you. I work 2 days a week so those days I am not available for daycare right now hoping to change that. as for boarding they would be crated the 2 days I am working but I can come home for lunch to let them out for a bit. other then that I am usually home with them. I love being home and playing with the dogs and loving on them thats my ideal day. I have a private fenced in backyard and even though it is private I always am watching them when they are outside if I am not out there with them. Both my husband and I play with them and they get lots of attention from us.

“Alicia helped with a drop-in visit for our high-energy and attention-hungry large dog. She played with him and kept him busy… very happy pup! I will book with her again. Thank you Alicia!”

About: Hello! I’m Hill, I have been a Rover sitter since 2024. I have clientele outside of Rover for various tasks/pet&house sitting). During the daytime I work with special needs adults which gives me the flexibility and freedom to put your pet first during your time away. When I’m not dog sitting or working with my clients I’m working on my degree (Mechanical Engineering). I hope to make a difference in the lives of the disabled/ special needs community as an engineer. Rover only lets me put 10 photos, I wish I could show ALL of the sweet pets I’ve spent time with, but I hope you love the pictures. I do not board pets in my home as that is my twin cats domain, I’m happy to set up a meet and greet if you find yourself in need of a trustworthy and reliable sitter. 🩷🦮💜🐩💙🐕‍🦺🐾 I am available within Grand Rapids and surrounding areas daily and weekly. I can do drop in visits, regular walks or sitting for an extended period of time. I will follow you and your pets normal routine to the best of my ability. Most of the homes I’m in have cameras, I can provide personal references upon request.

“Breanna really helped me out last minute! She took great care of my boy - sent plenty of pictures and even administered an oral medication! Thank you so much for everything.”

About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

“Kenadee is great with our new pup Pearl, definitely will use her again and recommend her services!”

About: Hello! I currently have 2 cattle dog mixes and a siamese mix. I have had dogs all my life and am experienced with giving medication as well. My dog Link has a rare condition called diabetes insipidus, which requires injections 2x/day. I am happy to provide anything your pets need! I am currently in graduate school part time and have full availability to take care of your pets as I’m not working at this time I am happy to follow your pets routine exactly, come by with you there to meet them before I drop in on them, and provide medications!!

About: I've walked a lot of dogs! Some of my earliest experience was with my own childhood dogs. Then when I volunteered as a dog walker at seven star sanctuary in Saint Joseph. Some of my more recent has been walking my little brothers very excitable flat coat, Richard. I'm currently looking for work, so my schedule is open! I like to walk dogs since I can get in exercise while I work. I have a fenced yard that is shared with my duplex neighbor. They have kids and a small dog. I would take your dogs on a leash until I knew they'd be safe! I have plenty of space, but it'd be appreciated if you could bring their bed with them!

“Julie does a great job feeding and watering our cat and giving him some much needed attention when we are out of town. We really appreciate her!”

“Heather came for a meet and greet and was so lovely and attentive. She sent photos and a description of what happened during her visits and touched base with me after my trip. She’s great!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and caring for them has always been more than just a job—it’s something I truly love. I’ve worked with countless animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. I’ve also worked as a dog bather at PetSmart, where I learned proper grooming techniques, handling skills, and how to recognize signs that a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to Rover, I also provide pet care through Wag!, so I’m experienced with daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or a senior needing a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love, kindness, and respect that I give my own animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and the peace of mind that they’re in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work remote so I am always available! I love my home, and sharing it with others. I live in a beautiful neighborhood. I have a lot of free time at the moment. I make sure everything is followed correctly for what you and your pets needs require. I also am a very honest and kind person who won’t let you down! I prioritize safety and instruction.

“Brooke was fantastic checking in on our old lady dog while we were gone. She even spent extra time outside with her when she saw how much she enjoyed just being outside. Highly recommend Brooke if you’re looking for excellent pet care.”
