“I cannot speak highly enough of Haley. I have high standards for my own dogs’ care and Haley exceeded them. She was communicative, thorough, and I was able to enjoy my weekend away without worrying about my dogs. I will absolutely book with Haley again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and had them as part of my family for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from gentle Bullmastiffs to energetic Beagles and everything in between. Being around dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I’m often the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone reliable to look after their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m currently working full time until the end of June then I will be back in school, making my schedule much more flexible. My mornings right now start at 5am and I get home from work anytime between 3-6pm. During school, my mornings start around 7am and I can be home multiple times a day and home for the night no later than 3pm. I understand that pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I take great care when looking after pets in their homes. My goal is to maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. I am respectful of both your pet and your home, ensuring feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”

“Lane was great! Able to make last minute adjustments and great with the dogs. First time using Rover and will definitely use Lane again. Thanks”

“Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.”

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

“Our dogs love Sydney. There are happy, fed and well played with when we come home. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter at your house.”

“Makayla did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs for an extended time. Will be using her services again since they loved her as a dogsitter.”

Cristina M.

“Micki is a wonderful and dependable care giver! Our gsd puppy was going into heat and she made sure she was very comfortable and having fun while we were gone. She sent me very detailed updates, which I requested. She left our home cleaner than we left it and we have already hired her again for more care!”

Marin M.

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”

Gina B.

“Heather did a great job giving us updates and keeping all of our animals happy and safe. Even had to deal with a local power outage with no issues. Definitely will book again!”

Brenna & Sawyer B.

“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!

“Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.”

Andrea R.

“Kristin did a wonderful job caring for Georgia. She was an excellent communicator and followed all the instructions we left. Highly recommend”

“Kenzie was amazing! Very communicative, sent updates, and asked questions. I was entirely confident that the dogs were in good hands!”

About: Though I’ve only had my own animals for 6 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I was our in-house dog trainer, teaching mine and my grandparents dogs how to sit, shake, speak, and stay before I was breaking double digits. I love all kinds of animals, and have cared for birds, rats, snakes, and turtles outside of just cats and dogs. I’ve only had huskies in my house, so I’m totally used to pets that shed and need to be brushed frequently. I would love to befriend and care for your pet while you’re exploring old places and new! I’m currently an online college student with open availability. I am pretty flexible and will do my best to work with you to accommodate yours and your pets needs! However, I do begin in-person classes August 31st where I’ll be in Mt. Pleasant Monday-Thursday. I’d still love to watch your companions during this time, I just want to be clear that I will be away from your home for a couple hours on weekdays! I am someone who loves the companionship of all animals. I will talk to your pets and give them all the love they need (or want, of course)!

“Lucy was so patient and kind with my huge baby! This was the first time in 8 years I’ve ever left Gracey with a sitter because of her severe anxiety. Lucy came to visit us a few days prior and I was so pleased to see her interact with my dog. It calmed my fears and I was actually able to enjoy my night out without worry. Thank you Lucy! We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

“Kelsey followed all of our directions, and kept us updated. When we arrived home, our pups were super happy and you could barely tell she had been there.”
