“Yasenia was amazing! She was so great caring for my dog and cat while I was gone. She communicated well, sent me videos and pictures to ease my anxiety of leaving my pets. She even taught my dog a new trick! I would 100% use her again.”
About: I'm a 39 year old direct care worker. I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I currently have a dog and cat. My experience in pet care is from taking care of my own and volunteering for friends and family. I was a kennel technician for a year at the Humane Society and have volunteered there over the years. I am working minimum part time right now. I am available during days and evenings, as I work 3rd shift, and will be available some nights and overnights also. I will follow the established routine you provide, providing plenty of companionship and care your pet needs, ensuring your their safety, all while giving you regular updates.
“Ethan was amazing! I had a last minute booking and he made time for the meet and greet so I could confirm the fit before booking but he then went above and beyond when our times needed shifting after booking. He was available and made the change no complaint. He showed up on time and communicated throughout the booking process until arrival. Our dog was happy and cared for, fed and taken out to do his business as requested. I would use Ethan again.”
“I had Sophia come and stay with my digs this weekend. She did great with them and I did not worry at all about my home or my dogs. I look forward to have Sophia symtay with my dogs again in the future. 100% recommend her!!”
About: What sets me apart is my compassion for all things animal. I never blame the animal for things that happen or go wrong. Sometimes they genuinely do not know better or they are just scared. I love the feeling of meeting a new pet and the owner saying, 'Wow they never do that' when they come up to me or let them pet me. I am a big proponent of the idea that animals can tell what kind of person you are. If my pet doesn't like you, chances are it is for a good reason. I give everyone's pets the same love I give my own. I always say, if I could come back in another life I wouldn't come back as a dog, I would come back as one of mine. I am a full-time optician, father of one human and 3 fur babies. If given the chance to take care of your baby I will work my schedule around it. Life happens and we get busy. I want to give everyone I sit for the peace of mind knowing their pet is taken care of a loved as I love my own. I am new to Michigan and in trying to build my new life here I would love the opportunity to meet new people, pets, and make some extra funds along with it to help build the life I want here. I care for pets the way the owner would. I listen and follow routines. Whatever your pet needs as far as medication, exercise, play time, love, I will give. As an owner of pets on medication I do not play when it comes to such things. I am fit and athletic so I can run all day long or be a couch potato and love each and every pet they way they need and want.
About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.
About: Ive cared for multiple pets including family members and friends and always love to do the best I can to make the pets happy and comfortable Its more of a part time thing but if I get more pets to care for I would enjoy it to be a full time thing. I take good care of my pets and always make sure to make notes on each animal how they eat and their daily routine and keep an eye on them while letting them have fun
About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level—especially shy, anxious, or dogs who struggle with separation anxiety. I take the time to build trust and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I’m happy to keep pets on their normal routines, provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and enrichment, while also giving them space when they need it. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—I want them to feel like they’re staying with someone who truly cares about them. ❤️🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to structure my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I’m flexible with different schedules and routines and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication reminders, quiet time, or simply someone nearby for comfort, I’m happy to give them the individualized attention they need. During overnight stays, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep and make sure they have everything they need throughout the night. I’m happy to follow their usual bedtime routine, including bathroom breaks, medications, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for dogs who may feel anxious in a new environment. I understand that overnight care is about more than simply being present—it’s about making sure your pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or sensitive pets. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also careful about doors, gates, food, household items, and anything else that could potentially be unsafe for your pet. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs.

I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
About: Your cat deserves more than just a quick food-and-water visit! I provide loving, dependable in-home cat care so your kitty can stay comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection (on their terms, of course! 😻). I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is being well cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like one of my own. ❤️ Serving Spring Lake, Michigan and surrounding communities. I own a small residential cleaning business and am adding a pet care business as I already pet/house sit for some of my cleaning clients on the side. I have watched a few of my cleaning clients' pets (cats and dogs) while they are on vacation. I have stayed overnight in their home, making sure their dogs go out and are well fed, whilst taking care of their home.
“Tranae was a phenomenal house and dog sitter while we were away for an extended holiday weekend. She kept in touch, sent photo/video updates and went above and beyond in many ways. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy was a great sitter for our pup. Cindy followed all directions provided, was attentive to our dog and had really good communication while sitting. Our home was left in great condition also. I would absolutely book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Agnew
Michael was amazing! We threw him for a loop by adopting two lizards before his stay and he totally took it in stride. He was flexible, attentive and took incredible care of all our animals. There were several food and medicine schedules to adhere to with for two dogs, one cat and three lizards and he was spot on the entire time he was here. He also took the extra step of checking our fence line for possible damage from trees, etc. every morning to ensure our dogs' safety. We noticed that he even brought in our mail and packages for us, which was an unexpected bonus. He left the home as clean as it was when he arrived. We were able to take our trip with zero worry or stress, he really is the best! We will most definitely be booking with him in the future.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Agnew walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Agnew maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Agnew choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
