About: Hi there! I’m Carla, a lifelong animal lover with a full, happy home of dogs of my own. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—senior snugglers, shy pups, high-energy adventurers, and everything in between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every animal and home with genuine care and respect. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Whether they enjoy calm cuddle time, enrichment walks, or playful companionship, I adapt to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment. I spend quality time in the home so pets receive companionship, consistency, and a sense of normalcy while you’re away. I pride myself on leaving your home the same — if not better — than when you left. For clients who would like extra help while traveling, I’m happy to assist with home refreshes, deeper cleaning, organizing, plant care, or other agreed-upon household tasks for an additional fee. I work well with advance bookings and love building lasting relationships with returning clients. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care from someone who truly enjoys animals, I would love to help! I understand the comfort of knowing both your pets and your home are in reliable hands while you’re away. I take pride in being honest, respectful, and trustworthy — treating every home and pet with the same care I would expect for my own. I am available most weekdays and weekends, at any time. I have a very open / flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate you! I live in Michigan, near Saginaw Bay, but am willing to travel anywhere in the state or country. I have 2 sons that live in St. Petersburg, FL, and am that way as much as I can to see them and would love any excuse to get me there, lol! I care for pets in their own home by following instructions carefully, maintaining a clean and safe environment, respecting the home, and ensuring pets feel calm, secure, and loved.

Hannah was an absolute Joy to work with! She was amazing at communicating via updates and photos of my lil guy and she made sure to stop in and meet my pet face to face before sitting. She is patient and caring and won't shy away from any accidents your pet my have. My cat loved her and I'm sure other animals will too!

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

About: A dog lover, through and through, I strive to provide a comfortable and joyful experience for you and your fur baby. I currently have two dogs and have been training Bandit (my Schnauzer) since the day I brought him home. I have had dogs for most of my life and have had worked with various ages and sizes. I know every dog has a unique personality and I am passionate about giving them the care and love they deserve. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule during the day Monday-Friday allowing me to be there for you and your pet, I am available on nights and weekends! I have pet sit for my friends a lot in prior years and when I am in your home, I am courteous to you and your dog's space. I make sure to visit the home prior so I can meet and greet the family and the dog and learn their routine and where any supplies are that I may need. I make sure I can fit in some play/exercise time (whether the yard is fenced in, or we have to use a leash). I make sure to keep the environment clean and safe at all times and do regular check-ins. In my own home I provide the same service. I want you to be comfortable with where your dog will be visiting and know the environment they will be in, prior to staying. I make sure my house is always picked up and that there is minimal possibility of safety issues. My yard is fenced in, and I live by a nice park that is dog friendly. At home I enjoy playing/exercising indoors and out and making enrichment bowls. Health is key!

Lucilla was great! This was my first time using Rover and it did not disappoint. I had set up 30min drop-in visits and Lucilla was wonderful at sending updates and photos whenever she came to check in on Sampson. I would definitely suggested reaching out to her to take care of your furry family members.

About: I have had a fur baby in my life since I was young, having a dog and/or cat completes my family. I am very loving and attentive. Having a fully fenced in yard with room to run will allow your baby to have fun, get excercise, and have independence. I am always up for a nice bath to calm, soothe, or just clean your baby if needed. I promise to take great care of your fur baby! I also have experience with breathing issues, special food requirements, and climate control. I also have experience with goats and macaws. I am the owner of a small business so I have plenty of time on my hands since I have started working from home. I am available 24/7, just let me know when you need a sitter and we can work out a schedule for your needs. The only items you need to bring: collar, leash, and food. You can bring special toy or blanket too if you would like. I have a small Boston terrier named Bella that just loves everybody, she has never been aggressive or bit anyone. I have a crazy, silly cat named Benny that is very shy but mostly likes girl dogs. Bella plays inside and out, but Bennie is purely an indoor girl.

About: I've always loved animals of every kind. Growing up we've owned everything from rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ferrets, and even a fox. For years, Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, because they know I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'm currently available for late afternoons on Friday's and available on weekends. Message me if you have any questions. My children love meeting new puppies and being able to help take care of them. We have a fully fenced in half acre of backyard for the doggies to play in. I have three friendly dogs that are open to anything. Cooper is our bluetick coonhound, Piper is our Husky mix, and Audrey Shepburn is our white German shepherd. We also have three children ages 4, 9, and 13.

Davison, MI, 48423

About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
