“Great communication and attitude! I really appreciated Illyana's timely and photo responses and for arranging a meetup, too. I was grateful for the feedback during the care period and hope we get more opportunities.”
“Christine was a terrific dog sitter for my 7 year old terrier mix, Sis this weekend. She checked in with me and sent me pictures of Sis to let me know how much fun they were having. It was very easy to trust Christine at my home with my dog, and her love for animals is very apparent! Will book again!”
“Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!”
“Madelyn has been house and dog sitting our 3 pups - even did a last min long gig of a whole 13 days. She’s been so great with them and so amazing and respectful of our house. We will be using her as our dog sitter moving forward!!!!”
“Katharyn watched our dogs for two weeks and sent pictures every day. I loved getting updates on my babies. She even handled one of the dogs being sprayed by a skunk.”
“Autumn was very responsive to my booking request and was nice enough to come to the house and meet the dogs prior to the booking. She seemed to do well with the dogs and was a very respectful houseguest. All in all a great experience”
“Clare was so wonderful! She took such great care of our 5 year dog (and house) while we were out of the country! She sent us updates and photos and loved on him so well! It gave us so much comfort to have her here while we were so far away. I will also say that this was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have been more pleased to have had Clare as our inaugural pet sitter and we for sure will use her again! She put us at such ease by coming over and meeting us (and our dog) and asked great questions and helped us through that process as well. We highly recommend her!”
“Josh was great with all three of our dogs. He was communicative throughout the weekend and we never worried. Beyond that, he took amazing care of our house even going above and beyond to help when we got a giant snowstorm while we were gone. I would highly recommend Josh.”
“This was our first time having Olivia for an overnight stay. Everything was great! Olivia did a great job with our pets and they warmed up to her quickly. Everything was as expected upon our return. We would happily have Olivia back to house sit for us again.”
About: I have been pet sitting , including house sitting, since high school! I love all animals and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages! I have taken care of special needs animals before as well - including medication injections and senior care. I’m entering my final year of graduate school so I am beginning a phase of most writing my dissertation and other computer work! Because of that I have a very flexible schedule! I’m happy to work with you to ensure a situation that works best for your pets! For any check in services (dog walking/check in visits) I will provide message communication upon entering and leaving the house! For stays at your house I will communicate throughout the stay to update you on how your pets are doing!
“Randa is a legit dog whisperer. I have a moody dog who doesn’t always get along with everyone he meets right away. Randa walked in and he almost immediately rolled all 110 lbs of himself onto his back so she could rub his belly. When I came back from my trip it was so easy to see he was loved and cared for. I came home to a happy dog. Normally after a trip, he’s depressed for a couple weeks. Randa is amazing at what she does!!”
“Abby was great -- warm and nurturing to our needy pup, flexible with our schedule changes, a great communicator and attentive to details. We are glad to have connected with her and we'll seek her out for future home-stays when we travel in the future!”
“Gabriela took care of our dog (and house) for an entire week. She was attentive to all the details of our dog's needs - she is in the older stage of her life. Gabriela was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and daily reports. We came back to a clean house and a happy pup! Thanks Gabriela :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 starting with dog walking. I was able to establish a trusting relationship with my first clients and it led to staying overnight and caring for their dogs for days at a time. I’m also a part time employee at my local vet clinic and an undergraduate student on the pre-vet track so I am very comfortable with many types of animals! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Michigan! I have a busy class schedule but most weekdays I have a break in between classes where I can check in on your fur babies! I’m also a member of the marching band which requires my attendance all day during home football games. Go Blue! I will do my best to make sure your dog is properly tended to whether that’s letting them out whenever they need, engaging them with play or physical activities, making sure that I stick to their personal feeding schedules, and making sure they don’t get into any trouble.
“Great guy, I felt like I've known him forever. We were immediately comfortable with each other and I was confident with having him stay and take care of my dogs. I highly recommend Josh.”
“My dog is a 100% herding dog. Alexis was great with this. I think my dog got more exercise with Alexis than I have ever given her. She was very caring with her as she helped her cope with fireworks multiple nights in a row. Alexis is very personable, took care to read and understand the instructions I had left. Not only would I have her dog and cat sit again, I am indeed doing that.”

I have know Victoria for over a year, and it has always struck me how good she is with animals - she is attentive, intuitive, and caring with all animals, and clearly cares very deeply about all animals’ physical and mental wellbeing.
