“Sarah was AMAZING! This was my first time using rover.com and my first time having a stranger come into my house to watch a pet. I admit I was a little nervous, but after meeting her at her complimentary visit at my house to see our pet and see our house I had full trust in her character. She's lovely, and was SO sweet to my cat, who is not always so friendly to strangers. Can't thank you enough, Sarah, and will definitely book again in the future with you!”
“Claire was super awesome with taking care of my three cats and keeping me updated on how they were all doing while I was away. Even my cat that is the most afraid of people warmed up to her so Claire definitely did a fantastic job taking care of my trio of cats! I did not have to worry about my cats at all while I was away which was a huge relief. I highly recommend having Claire look after your pets!!”

About: As a loving and dedicated pet sitter, parent, advocate & guardian, I bring a wealth of experience, dedication, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. I have had the pleasure of caring for and training a variety of pets, from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats with special needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs; whether it's a hike in the woods or cuddles on the couch, following their specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities. For training, my approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, ensuring that your furry friend learns in a supportive and nurturing environment. Whether it's basic obedience, advanced tricks, or behavior modification, I am dedicated to helping your dog become a well-mannered and happy companion. For day care & visits at your home, you can count on me to be punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. I provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well-cared for.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I am available for both drop-in visits and overnight pet guests at any time, ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they need while you're away.

About: My name is Margie and I love fur babies! My 12 year old great dane was my whole world. She passed away Jan of 2025. I am a volunteer at the Shelby county humane society so I've worked with all types of dogs. I also foster for 3 rescues. I'm a a huge believer in the differences pets make in our lives! I would love to have a chance to meet/care for your pet! Great Danes are my passion, but I'm open to all breeds! Your pet will have my full attention while it is in my care. Dogs have been in my family since I was a child so I am well aware of the great responsibility you are entrusting to me with your pet! Feel free to ask any questions you may have ! My husband and I got married in Nov of 24 and he has a lab pointer mix named Luna. She loves other dogs and has been great with everything from my great dane that passed to a 4 lb teacup cup poodle we regularly keep. We also keep some dogs who do not like other dogs, so it is an option to keep her seperate from your dog. We have done this several times and never had an issue. We love dogs and love hanging out with them as members of our family. A typical day is working and then coming home to go for a walk or chill and watch a movie with the dogs. :) Your pet will be free to run around either in the house or the yard unless I am at work or asleep. I care for my friends pets as if they are my own because I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. While I am sleeping or at work, your pet will be crated for their safety.
“Ray is Great! I use him on repeat for boarding and dropping in. Great Communicator. My pup knows him and loves him. Always 5 Stars! Thanks again Ray for accepting this last booking on short notice!”
“Darby is absolutely the best you could ask for in a fur baby caretaker. Darby is professional, beyond pleasant, incredibly thoughtful, and clearly has a way with animals. Both of my kitties absolutely loved her and I was so pleased to come home to two calm, content cats.”

Alton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah, did a FANTASTIC job visiting with our cat while we were away. He felt SOOOOO soft from her great brushing when we got home, and seemed extra playful. It is a huge relief to have someone we trust who is also great with animals watch our pet, and allows us to travel worry-free. We can't recommend Sarah B enough!
