About: I recently graduated from Northern Michigan University this past spring with a bachelors degree in Education. Before pursuing my career, I am taking time off to work and spend time with family. I am a lover of all animals, though I have the most experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with several families for drop by visits and extended stays while they travel. I have a fur baby of my own, my cat Ringo, who I love very much. I have several references available for back ground check and to hear from prior families I have worked with for feedback if desired! I would love to work with you and your pets!

About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.
“Doggies were so happy to see Chris! She was so patient and accommodating to walk them individually so they don't get into their protective pack attitude. Doggies enjoyed their walk! ”

About: I have had a dog since 2010, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I love every dog I meet and thoroughly enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. Dogs make me incredibly happy, and I like to think I make them happy as well! I am available any day of the week for your dogs needs. I have the summer off from work, so I am able to look after them 24/7 if needed. I can easily crate any dog if needed. I love hanging out and playing with dogs and making sure they’re in a safe environment. There’s a lot of walking trails near where I live which are amazing for walks. There’s also a dog park right in my community.
About: Hello Fur Family’s & Friends! 🐕🐾 My name is Lauren. Nice to e-meet you. 👋 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, from dogs, to rodents (pet rats & ferret) in college, to cats, and reptiles (lizards), but FurBabies are my favorite family addition. Grew up with family dogs and cats, until adulthood when I started adopting my own animals. Current furbabies include (2) dogs: Neeko (pit & chihuahua mix) and Jaxx (pomsky mix). Our oldest, Coda, was sent to doggy heaven last June. Im energetic, always on-the-go to kids sports, travelling, or looking for a new adventure. Love being outside (weather permitting), rollerblading along the lakeshore, exploring new places with my kids & littlest fur-baby, Jaxx (Pomsky). Love to play & explore, while instilling obedience training. Firm believe in putting in the ‘Reps’ - repetition; repetition; repetition. Currently work full time from home, and bartend part time at nights, locally. Single mom, with (2) Preteen/teenage boys enrolled in year-round sports. Always on the go, but that is who I am - energetic, passionate & highly ambitious. Love supporting others in their life’s journey.

I will care for your fur babies the same as I would want my fur-babies to be cared for! 🐶🐕 ***EXAMPLE COMMUNICATION/AGENDA** FRIDAY - Drop in @ dinner/5pm; Potty, Play/Treat & Meal. - Drop in (after bartending shift) @ 2AM(ish); Potty & Bed.

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.

My dog (Akita) passed away a few years ago, he lived 14 long and incredible years and survived two cancers. I recently lost my cat of 16 years as well, she unfortunately had kidney failure and thyroid disease. I miss them every day. I currently have two rescued cats that mean the world to me. I would love to get the chance to meet and care for your pets. I believe this would help me feel fulfilled and bring some light back into my life. I have connections to vets and would make sure your baby is always safe. I have a heart filled with love ready to give to your little or big four legged family member. I work part time and have a love for animals. Working at the vet allows me to provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet. I am not ready to adopt my own dog just yet as I’m still grieving so being able to take care of your fur babies brings light back into my life! I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard with a few nearby parks. I have two very lovable cats, but I have a two story house and can easily separate the pets. I would love your pet just like my own.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m available most weekdays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and their owner’s needs. I understand how important is for cats and dogs, so I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your cat and pups needs before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide gentle, attentive care by following your instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, keeping their environment clean, and making sure they have fresh food and water. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley
Elizabeth continues to be a very reliable and loving dog sitter, whom our dog adores! She not only walks Lily, but she plays with her on days that aren’t nice (their favorite game is soccer!) and takes the time to make sure she’s happy and cared for during each visit. Elizabeth watches our dog weekly, and we couldn’t be happier with her communication and the extra care she consistently puts in.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!

Megan was such a great walker for our dog! She walked him 3x/week for 7 months. She was always on time, walked him for the full 30 minutes (regardless of how cold the weather was), and great at communicating if there were any schedule changes. We are so sad that Megan is moving and won’t be able to walk our dog anymore. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your dog needs!

I’m so grateful for Alexa! She has been incredibly reliable, gentle, and attentive with my dog. You can truly tell she loves what she does. My pup is always so excited to see her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust.

My’Anna has been amazing! From the very start, she was quick to reply to our initial request, which gave us peace of mind that our dog would be taken care of. She’s been incredibly gentle and patient with our dog as well. It’s been great to see how Tamalito grows more comfortable with her- we even catch him waiting by the door for her visits on our cameras!
