“Jaime followed all instructions and kept the house spotless. Returned home to a safe and happy pet. Will definitely use Jaime in the future and would recommend to others.”


“I couldn't be more pleased with the dog-sitting service we received! From the very start, Kat was professional, kind, and very attentive to my dog's needs. I had peace of mind the entire time I was away knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. Coco was well taken care of, with regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I received daily updates and photos that really put me at ease and made me feel connected even while I was away. It's clear that Kat has a true love for animals and understands them well. I highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!”


“Katie was great with our pup & cat. She stayed at our home and provided such great care for our animals they were both in great spirits when we arrived back home. She sent updates everyday while we were away and was super friendly!”


About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself or your loved one. I am working in person but can accommodate a certain schedule with advance notice to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.

“Emily was great to have as a house guest and pet sitter. We came home to an impeccably clean house and a happy dog! We are grateful for her service and help, will definitely book her again. Thanks Emily!”


About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“Lilly was a great communicator, sent daily pictures, and followed all care instructions. Came home to a happy pup and spotless home. Will work with Lilly in the future and would recommend her to others.”


“Gabby was able to handle stressful situations with my pets still getting used to their new house. She contacted me letting me know what was happening and how she managed the situation. Polite and professional. Thank you Gabby!”


“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”


“I am so appreciative Jessica did a great job with our animals but especially my senior dog. He is a bit extra and she didn’t mind at all and helped keep his routine normal for me while I was gone. I recommend her and would definitely hire her again!”


About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.

About: I’m Kristen, a Behavioral Science major and a passionate dog mom for over 5 years. I currently care for my three lovable pitties — all with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Through them, I’ve gained real-life experience with leash training, enrichment, socialization, and managing multi-dog dynamics. I’m especially familiar with caring for velcro dogs (like mine!) who love close companionship and need that extra level of emotional support and attention. My Bachelor's in Behavioral Science helps give me a deep understanding of animal behavior. I use positive reinforcement techniques to build trust and encourage good habits. I'm great at reading cues, responding to their needs, and helping them feel comfortable and safe — I always aim to make dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether you have a shy pup, an energetic walker, or a dog who just needs some love and company, I'd be honored to help care for them like they're my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog walking throughout the day. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs and love incorporating dog walking into my daily routine — it gives me time outdoors, keeps me active, and most importantly, lets me spend time with even more amazing pups! A lot of my work is pet-focused, caring for dogs is already a huge part of my life — both online and off. Whether it's a morning stroll, midday energy burn, or afternoon walk-and-sniff, I’m able to reliably fit your dog’s needs into my day with full attention and love. As a dog walker and sitter, I treat every pup and every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and understood — and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands. Before each walk, I take time to greet your dog calmly, check their mood, and ensure they’re comfortable and ready to go. During walks, I stay alert, follow your dog’s pace, and make sure their walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their needs — whether that means getting some energy out or taking a slow, sniff-filled stroll. If I’m entering your home, I’m always mindful of your space and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave (feeding, water refills, post-walk routines, etc.) and always double-check things like locked doors and leashes for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, secure, and loved — and to make you feel fully at ease while they’re in my care.

About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.


“Kelli is absolutely amazing! This is the third time we’ve had her come over, and she takes wonderful care of my dogs! If you’re looking for a kind, caring person that understands the health and well-being of your animal, but no further highly recommend Kelli! And will continue to use her services”


“Tracy was great! She was very communicative during her stay and gave our pets lots of love while we were away. It was nice to know our pets were able to remain in their own home (instead of boarding them) and be looked after by such a caring sitter. Thanks so much!”


About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember! I've helped some at a vet clinic and cared for dogs there. I have had my own dog who was a senior. I am very comfortable with, and have a soft spot in my heart for seniors. I actively dog sit acquaintances' dogs. I am very active and will love to run and walk your dog! I am not currently working, so I am home and happily willing to give 24 hour care to your pet. I have the extra time to spend playing with, walking, and snuggling your precious pet! I have a chain link enclosure with a high quality dog igloo, and I can easily crate your dog if needed, as well! While my yard is not fenced, I am home much of the time and am able to take your fur baby on long walks and playtime.

About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾

Kristen B.
“To whom it may concern, I would highly recommend Kristen Brakke to be chosen as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Kristen grew up with dogs her whole life. Kristen has always been very responsible and loyal to her pet family and she has always shared a very special and loving bond with them. Kristen has always shown that same kind of special love, affection, and care for her own pets. You see, they are not just pets to Kristen, they are all family members. Kristen loves each and every pet as if they are her own family members and she treats them that same loving way as well. Thank you for your time, Rebecca stubli”

Battle Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
I went into a panic mode when we had a last minute trip come up and no one to watch our pups. Luckily someone told me about Rover and I ended up contacting Joseph. He came out so we could see how the dogs would react to him and we felt comfortable to have him take care of them. He messaged pictures and videos of our pups and made sure to let them play for a bit! I highly recommend having him watch your animals!
