“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”


“I feel like I’ve known Kylie for a long time. I could tell she is animal lover. She did a very good job communicating with me and I trusted her totally with my cat. I highly recommend her and hopefully will be able to have her take care of my kitty again for my next vacation! Thanks Kylie!”


“Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.”


About: Animal care is my passion! From years of dogsitting to working in a veterinary hospital, I have the personal and professional experience to give your pets the best care and make sure my clients feel super comfortable leaving their pets with me! I can pet sit all week and dog walk on weekends and weekday evenings after work. I do work ~35 hours a week and will always be communicative about my schedule with my clients! I am very accomodating to all households regarding how to care for the pets. I will always make sure the pets are getting the attention and care needed like treats, bones, walks, etc. Lastly, I always leave clients' homes clean and tidy!

About: Previous to moving back to MI, I was a dog foster with Dallas Animal Shelter. I also have my own two rescues. I have experience with a wide array of dogs including small chihuahuas to big ole mastiffs ! I love dogs! Each dog I fostered had medical needs and I am a nurse so I promise to care for your pups in the best possible way! So excited to meet you and your pup ! I am a nurse with a rotating schedule, which is great because I can revolve my schedule around your needs (with appropriate notice). I am happy to set up a weekly routine if that is what best fits your needs. I am happy to spend time with your doggy in their fenced yard, walks, and crate them as preferred. However, I do love dog cuddles, so they may be a little late to be crated!!

“Michelle was great! She even stopped in to meet my dogs beforehand. My one dog can be fearful, no issues!!”


“Delightful team- Niki & Neil & Marlee. They are kind, cheerful, and eager to help. Communication and flexibility are excellent. I highly recommend them!”


“Pam is always so great with Bella and has been very understanding when my booking details needed to be changed. I would highly recommend her to anyone else.”


About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.

“Christen is awesome, communication was great and got daily pictures of my dog. Highly recommend!”


“Our pups were so well taken care of! Kyra was very communicative and took great photos to send us :)”


About: While I’m newer to pet sitting, what I bring is genuine enthusiasm, energy, and a deep love for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, attention, and plenty of care. One thing that sets me apart is how much I love walking and exploring new places. I make sure walks are more than just routine—they're little adventures! Whether it’s a quiet trail or a new park, your pet gets a fresh, engaging experience each time. I’m especially gentle with shy or older pets. For me, this doesn’t feel like a job—it’s something I look forward to truly enjoying. I’m currently home for the summer after recently completing my graduate studies, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s for a mid-day walk, extended stay, or last-minute visit. Since I’m not juggling a full-time job or school commitments right now, I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs and your routine. I’ve had a dog of my own for nearly a decade, and he’s truly part of the family. His comfort and well-being are always my priority—whether that means matching his energy during playful moments or winding down together while I read on the couch. This balance has taught me how to be in tune with a pet’s needs and moods. When caring for other pets, I bring the same level of attentiveness. I focus on helping them feel at ease in my presence by sticking closely to their usual routine and offering gentle, consistent care. My goal is to make the transition feel seamless, so your pet feels just as comfortable and cared for as they would with you at home.

“Katelin is amazing with pets. She’s always on time and I can leave my house without any worries, knowing that she will take care of everything. I highly recommend her.”


“Nishtha is always kind and responsive. Both of my kitties love her and when I get home they are calm and happy. In Nishtha's care, they dont miss me at all! Which is what you hope for (I guess).”


About: Dogs have been at the heart of my life since I was 11 years old, as I helped raise my two German Shepherd puppies who grew into strong, lovable seniors—living to an incredible 14 and 15 years old! Both were over 100 lbs (we’ve always had a thing for the big pups!), and with that came plenty of memorable challenges: lifting them into the truck when they refused to budge, navigating vet visits despite their strong dislike for other animals, and keeping them out of trouble with a whole lot of patience and quick thinking. Thanks to years of hands-on experience—and being a former college soccer player—I’m no stranger to handling high-energy dogs, strong pullers, or seniors who need a little extra help getting around. I’ve got the strength, stamina, and calm demeanor to meet dogs where they’re at, physically and emotionally. Today, I continue that same level of care with our spirited 8-month-old Shepherd, Lolo. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted go-to dog (and house) sitter for family, friends, neighbors, and even my bosses. From daily walks and feedings to vet runs, baths, and basic training—I’ve done it all with love and reliability. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes yours special. Whether it’s a goofy puppy or a stubborn senior, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, trust, and a whole lot of tail-wagging fun. 🐾 💙 I am a young, 1099 worker, with flexibility ranging from day-to-day! I enjoy taking my time in the mornings (Love a morning walk) and enjoy a healthy lunch break as well as wind down walk after work! Looking at houses is kind of my thing so walks are essential! However, even I need a walking buddy as my family pup lives full time in Holland! :) I am both a morning and night person so whatever works best for you and your dogs schedule! Having cared for my beloved German Shepherd, who passed away at 15 last March, I've had plenty of experience handling strong-willed, senior dogs. He was large (115 lbs), incredibly stubborn, and had a bit of “selective hearing,” so I always had to stay alert and patient—especially since he wasn't fond of other animals. Now, I'm raising our energetic 8-month-old shepherd, Lolo, who adores other pups, and I continue to bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every dog I walk. I'm confident and comfortable handling large, spirited, or senior dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring a safe, happy experience for both pups and their people!

About: I have always had a dog in the home and have always been a big part of caring for them. I have volunteered at veterinary clinics since i was in 6th grade. I have assisted in surgery’s and births as well! I have two rescue dogs at home and one has spina bifida and is in diapers. It has been a joy to help them thrive in there unique way. I also have lots of experience in giving medicine if that’s something your pet may need! I also have chickens and a snake as well! I have lots of experiences with raising puppies as well as caring for dogs in there special se our years. I would love to care for your dog in anyway! weather it’s running in the backyard , going for walks or taking naps in the sun! I am hoping to have a job over the summer but am unsure of what’s days. I should be free most days and will be able to spend quality time with your dog! I will treat your pets just like my very own! I will provide snuggles, walks, play time and love, whatever you and your pet needs!

About: I have grown up with animals and have always had pets at home. I love all animals and they seem to love me too, happily I love taking care of animals and spending my time walking and playing with them. I’m a big believer in exercise and fun with pets I love playing with pets and making sure they are loved. I always make sure mine are fed and have water and plenty of attention

“Great with our dog and super reliable. What else could you ask for?”


About: I have two dogs myself and genuinely love to spend time with animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me. I also have had puppies/elderly dogs before and am prepared for special needs. I have two dogs at home, both medium energied and with a good temper. I am able to provide care for the dogs all day, however all dogs must be able to be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours in case I have a doctors appointment or grocery shopping and such. If you prefer that your dog be crated during those times you will have to provide the crate. Otherwise I can dog proof my bedroom and leave them in there with water. Never will I leave a dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time. It’s my priority to make sure they are stimulated and cared for. I have housewatched/dogsat at multiple houses before and I haven’t had a bad experience so far. I respect all house rules/pet rules and keep regular contact with owners.
