“Jason was wonderful and caring for our three dogs overnight! When we had car issues on our trip and were unable to get home on time, Jason was willing and able to be flexible with watching our dogs. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”

About: I own 3 high energy babies. 2 German short-haired Pointers and a pit boxer mix. Love all breeds. They all need love and to feel secure. Anytime I can meet a new little friend is great to me. I do work with elderly people also. I would love to meet you animal. I feel if a family is going out of town keep them where they are familiar and safe. No reason to uproot their safety, security.
3. Emily H.
“Our kitties are so precious to us and we couldn't trust anyone to take care of them as well as Emily does. Not only does she feed them, if we're traveling, she spends time with them playing, petting and loving them. Emily has a wonderful passion for pets of all kinds and we are so thankful for her! Dan & Jennifer Cook”

“Amber was wonderful with our beagle, Phoebe! She sent pics, updates, and took her on nice long walks. Would definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!!”
5. Kylie S.
“Kylie is an incredible animal care giver who treats my dog like her own. Her genuine care, attention to detail, and love for animals were evident from day one. My dog always came back happy, well-exercised, and completely adored. She loses her mind in a happy way when Kylie comes. I couldn't ask for a more trustworthy and caring person to look after my Luna!”
6. Marg M.
“Sometimes my dogs see Marguerite around the neighborhood and they run up to her to say hi! They remember her and they love her. She sent me cute photos while I was away and she kept my place neat and tidy. She's a great sitter and I'd book her again because the dogs love her so much!”

15. Daniel C.
“Daniel was great! He stepped in at the last minute when another sitter canceled and almost ruined my trip. He took great care of my 3 dogs and my house, kept in touch with updates and photos, and went the extra mile for my senior dog who needs extra care. My pups were well-exercised happy dogs when I returned home. I can't recommend Daniel enough.”
16. Molly D.
“Molly did a great job looking after our dog. So glad we were able to make it happen on kinda short notice for Thanksgiving.”
17. Ashley & Hannah Z.
About: Hi there! This is our first time with a commercial app, usually we keep our sitting to a tight knit circle but we recently lost two of our favorite boys and are looking to add a couple of new families to work with! My name is Ashley and I was sure to add a photo with my partner Hannah so that you know she might pop in with me or visit the pets and I on a walk or join us for a picnic date! I currently work from home so as long as you have a strong, secure connection I can bring my work with me to spend more time with your pets! Please let me know about any special care your pet might need! I am certain that we will hit it off and be the best of friends!
18. Kimberly H.
About: Hello! My name is Kim and I have been an owner and lover of dogs as far back as my memory takes me 😊 As a dog owner myself, I understand that if you find yourself searching for a sitter on Rover, that you are contemplating leaving a beloved member of your family with a stranger. My dog means the world to me so, I know how hard this decision can be. That being said, it is my priority to earn your trust upfront with transparent communication during the booking process and to provide reassurance and comfort with frequent picture/text updates during your dog’s stay with me. For me, it is not just about keeping your dog alive until you return, it is also about earning your dog’s trust through affection and attention. I will treat them no differently than I treat my own dog. I pride myself on making my home your dog’s ‘home away from home’. This is NOT a kennel. Your dog will have full access to my entire dog-friendly home. I live right in town Traverse City on a quiet street (which turns out to be quite convenient for most of my clients who are visiting from out of town). I have a completely fenced-in backyard for your pup to wander about, as well as an overflowing toy bin and their pick of any couch, chair or bed that they want to claim during their stay! If you are a Traverse City resident, I also offer dog walking or drop-ins at your home if your dog does not do well in a social setting or just simply prefers the comfort of his or her own home. Please reach out for further details or if you are interested in this service, I am happy to provide a list of references. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am also happy to host "meet and greets" prior to booking so, if you live in the Grand Traverse area and would like to meet ahead of time, let me know and we can definitely work something out! It is important to me that your dog feels instant comfort after being dropped off. I will make sure that I ask the appropriate questions during the booking process so that I know how to best care for your fur baby and follow his or her routine. My backyard is completely fenced in and I have a friendly senior beagle named Millie who hasn't met a dog she doesn't like :) I have often been told by previous clients that I have the "perfect set up" as I'm conveniently located right in town with a sizeable backyard. Thank you for stopping by! :)
19. Dana W.
“Dana watched my two labs for a week, and let me say, I can’t recommend her enough. My dogs are very needy, one even learned how to let himself outside of our front door. Dana made sure to watch them extra carefully- I get really nervous about our wandering pups on our busy street, and our family trusts her deeply after many safe stays. Also, my dogs love her so much, and are always so excited to see her! Probably because of how much love and attention she shows them when I’m not around. Not to mention my house was exactly the way I left it, if not cleaner, when I got home. Do yourself a favor and hit her up!”
20. Brooklyn B.
About: Hi my name is Brooklyn. I’m currently in college to become a vet tech. I love all animals and really excited to get to know more about them. I have two dogs (cocoa, and Bailey). Three horses and one goat. I’m currently working a full time job and in college but love spending my free time with animals. I am available anytime for walking, house sitting pets. Making sure that your pets are taken care of just like I would want mine to be! Whether it’s walking or sitting I’ll make sure your pet(s) are safe and happy
