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. I am working remotely and able 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.”
About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.
“Erin is great with my 2 dogs and is very reliable. She always shows up on time and is very professional. I appreciate how knowledgeable she is with dogs - I know I can trust her to handle any situation!”
“Theresa was very accommodating and took very good care of our Rosie. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. We will be using her again when we need someone!”

About: What sets me apart is the love and real-life experience I have from caring for my own two dogs every day. I truly understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate watching over your pet. I treat every dog and cat like family—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, just like at home. I work part-time from home, so I’m home a lot and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. That means I can give your pet consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my routine since I’m already spending lots of time with my own two dogs! I’m super flexible and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’ll stick to their feeding schedule, walk times, play routines, and any special instructions you have. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they would with you.
“She took some hilarious photos today of Ollie 😂 she never rushes with him and she’s been very reliable walking him while we are at work. Thank you!”
“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!”

“We have an older dog "Toby" that loves to go on walks, unfortunately our schedule prevents us from walking Toby as often as he should for his age and breed. Alisha has been dependable and very kind to our dog, Toby. If your schedule is as crazy as ours and would like to have someone else help you, I would highly recommend Alisha”
