About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life so I’m happy to be around all breeds and sizes. My partner and I are both teachers with summer break off so plenty of time to play and care for some furry friends. I’ve trained puppies before and am comfortable working with them. I am available Monday through Friday at anytime. I have the summer off! Weekends I can be flexible with, just give me a heads up and I can most likely make it work. I am very flexible in the afternoons during the school year. Once school is out for the summer we are much more flexible. Anytime in the afternoon is the best! Safety is the priority! I will follow all instructions and rules that you require. Please let me know if there is anything additional I can do to support your pet and their environment.

About: I have had a dog pretty much growing up and one in my adult life. I have taken care of my parents cat during the summer while they are on vacation. As of now, I’m pet sitting part-time. I make sure that pets have fresh food and water every morning. I also take them outside every couple of hours to do what they need. I love to have your dogs outside as much as possible. A fenced in backyard would be ideal, but I also love going to local parks give your furry friend some exercise.

About: Former federal employee and defense contractor (over 25 years)/deferred retirement. I've been boarding, house sitting, dropping in, walking, and running with dogs since COVID. I also provide cat care. Open to other duties as assigned (mail collection, plant and/or pool/spa care, garbage/recycling, snow clearing, etc.). Prices are adjustable, and willing to trade services for a handy person. Golf league couple evenings/week, and ski locally on weekends. Membership Director of the Battle Creek Ski Club - occasional meetings. House sitting radius is unlimited -willing to travel; drop ins or walks within 10 miles please. Safe neighborhood in Battle Creek. I have a .5 acre lot, but only the yard around my pool is fenced in (less than half the lot). Good safety latches on the gates; pool safety cover off-season that dogs are not allowed on. Recently purchased a kiddie pool for the dogs. Dogs must stay on leash during a meet-n-greet at my house, as Rover does not cover those. I do not own any pets or have children, and live alone. I may only be able to adequately supervise 1 dog at a time around the open pool. Bi-level home with carpeted stairs. It has been marked, so if that’s a potential issue, please look elsewhere. 4-wheel drive Jeep, so snow is not likely an issue to get to your fur babies.

About: Most recent rescued our newest addition Nyla (grey pit) to our family from an abusive situation. She has been amazing with our other dog and both cats! September 2022 we rescued 4 new born kitten that was left outside in a box in the cold. I have taken care of animals since I was 7. I recently rescued a feral cat and helped domesticate her into the sweetest house cat that isn’t afraid of other animals or people! I have house sat, walked, bathed, and feed animals for clients, neighbors, friends, and family which all had animals at the time! I work 12 hour shifts at my main job 3 to 5 days a week and if you are open to the times on the days I work I would be more than happy to care for your animals! I am renting so unfortunately I cannot animal sit at my house and I can house sit upon request but not staying the night because I love and would miss my house with my animals and spouse.

“Amanda was reliable and great with our pup. She sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time she was at our house. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pet.”


About: Hello! I’m Lorelai, a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs and later worked as the Kennel Manager at Daisy’s Pet Retreat in Charlotte for nearly three years. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’m excited to use Rover to get back into it! In my free time, I volunteer with Saved by Zade Cat Rescue, giving me hands-on experience with cats of all temperaments—including shy or senior kitties. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, and I take pride in providing compassionate and reliable care. I like to think of myself as a "cat whisperer," but I adore animals of all ages and species! What I Offer: 🐾 Dog & Cat Walking (Yes, I walk my own cat on a harness!) 🍽 Customized Feeding to match your pet’s dietary needs 💊 Medication Administration (including injectables—trained by both Saved by Zade & Daisy’s) 🐕 Patience & Experience with timid, senior, or special-needs pets I deeply understand pet body language and boundaries, ensuring a gentle and stress-free experience for your furry family members. I also value open communication with pet parents so we can be sure we’re a great fit! I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own—feel free to reach out! 🐾 I am currently only working part-time with very flexible hours so I am more than likely going to be available for you and your pets! At this time I am not welcoming client pets into my home. I am available for drop by visits, pet sitting (in the comfort of their own home), and walks. I am flexible and can do what is needed of me. If your dog needs to be in a crate all day (when I am not there) I can do that. If your dog needs to be on a leash while outside, no problem! Any special accommodations I can learn quickly :)

Amanda B.Star Sitter

“Amanda was reliable and great with our pup. She sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time she was at our house. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pet.”


Lorelai B.
“Lorelai is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! We were gone for 10 days, leaving behind two giant Rottweilers (one with fear aggression) and five cats (including a blind one)—not exactly an easy crew. But from the moment she arrived for a meet, I knew they were in incredibly capable hands. You can tell she’s a true animal lover by the way she interacts with them—gentle, patient, and completely attuned to their needs. She came by multiple times a day, and I had zero doubt that my kitties were getting love and attention and my dogs were being handled with both kindness and confidence. What impressed me most was how she immediately knew how to approach and manage my Rottweilers after only meeting them once in a walkthrough the week before. Lorelai is professional & reliable—responsible in every sense of the word. It’s clear that she takes her job seriously, but she also genuinely cares for the animals she watches. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my crew. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Lorelai is the one.”


Louise T.
“We have had Louise come and watch our house and water our plants for an extended period of time when we were away. She came on a once a week basis and made sure everything was OK at the house, took care of the plants and got the mail. Louise is trustworthy and dependable. She is also a very pleasant and has a good disposition. I would recommend Louise without hesitation to care for your house or pet.”
