Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!

About: I have the patience to work with most breeds but the larger ones are my favorite. I’ve had or lived with pets my entire life and will care for yours like it’s my own. Walks, feedings, even baths if they’re up for it! I’m no dog specialist, just someone who genuinely enjoys they’re company. If your dog needs any accommodations (extra loving!) I’ll do my best to meet your expectation. I understand trusting a stranger with your pet can be unnerving but I promise to provide the best service I can. Your dog won’t even know you’re gone! But hey no pressure, choose what’s best for you and your pet. Whether that’s me or someone else, if you’re happy I’m happy. But hopefully you choose me! I’m moving back to Michigan this summer and will not start my full-time position until August. So I have a pretty flexible schedule until then and I would love to fill my time loving on some fluffy babies! I will care for your pet in your home and do all that you have instructed. I know it could be a little stressful to leave your dog and they may worry, but I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and at ease.

Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!

Rob stayed at our home overnight to care for our two dogs. He also did a bunch of drop ins. Both Rob and Heather are great. Hire them. You will be glad that you did, and more importantly, your furry family members will be happy and benefit greatly from their loving kindness, acts of friendship and service.

Melissa was absolutely amazing, this is the first time that I have ever left my little guy home with a sitter and she was absolutely amazing with him. She followed directions to a tee when it came to his meds and getting to know him I already have her booked for next Saturday. My little guy is my life and my heart and she took care of him like I would, she asked questions and she did absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Melissa for anybody who has fear, anxiety or stress over leaving their pets. Melissa gets five stars for me because she is a pet star in my book.

After she took such good care of my cats the last time I went out of town, I was very happy and relieved to be able to hire Alexandra again. She takes such good care of my kitties and is very sweet with them, and I feel totally comfortable knowing I don't have to worry about them when she's there. Highly, highly recommend. ❤️

About: Hi! I specialize in puppy care, separation anxiety, and brachycephalic breeds. Having a Bulldog of my own has taught me firsthand how to handle the unique needs of smushy-faced dogs — from monitoring breathing to keeping them cool and comfortable. For anxious or velcro dogs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with plenty of reassurance. Puppies get the extra patience, structure, and supervision they need to feel right at home. 🐾 I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

We were so glad Becki could stay with Layla on a late notice! You can tell she has a love for and knowledge of animals, she left our home spotless and sent us updates with photos which was great! She took Layla for walks which she loves. We did not worry about Layla’s care for a second while we were away! We would definitely recommend booking with Becki.

Riley was unbelievably AMAZING when it came to watching our dogs 🐕 we went on vacation to Disney world, which I had been dreading because our pitbull had ACL surgery in September and was still recovering & also getting ready for her second surgery on the other leg the week after vacation. Riley was the reason we enjoyed our vacation and didn’t stress the whole time, we haven’t had great luck with pet sitters in the past & I always come home to a problem. This time I literally came home to nothing wrong & she even offered to do very kind things like vacuum the house & do laundry 🧺 which she did not have to do but the thought and willingness is above and beyond. Her communication was 100% amazing the whole time & most importantly our pitbull & 110 pound horse of a golden retriever LOVED RILEY & literally got pictures of them snuggling her every day and night. As long as Riley is doing this she will be our permanent pet sitter for whenever we leave town for a few days. We cannot thank her enough for all she did and we are very grateful that we found her, I know I’ll remember her always because I’ll think of the smiles on my kids faces at Disney world and how my wife & I were able to soak all of that in instead of fretting about the dogs & house back home 🏡. I would recommend Riley over anyone on here :-) Thank you again Riley 🫶 - The King family :-)

Audrey is the Mary Poppins of pet sitting! She is a kind, compassionate lover of all animals, and we knew our pets would be in great care while away. We had quite the tall order- last minute request, a newly adopted, rambunctious tween cat, and very shy/timid older cat…as well as guinea pig on top. She was responsive, organized & thorough, and completely spoiled the pets throughout the stay. Our house was even cleaner and tidier than before we left! She really goes above and beyond, and we look forward to booking again in the future. :)

I cannot recommend Leti highly enough! She stayed overnight in my home to care for my baby (Lab/Husky mis), who unfortunately had an injury. Leti went above and beyond in every way. The level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness she showed truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. She followed every care instruction perfectly, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure my baby was comfortable and happy the entire time. Beyond caring for my guy, she was incredibly respectful of my home, leaving everything spotless and tidy—it's like she was never there, except for the big smiles on my pet's face! It's rare to find someone you can trust so completely with both your fur baby and your home. I’m so grateful to have found Leti and will absolutely be booking her again. She is a true gem on Rover! 🐾❤️

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog Gracie received from our dog sitter, Kerrie! From the moment they met, it was clear that Gracie felt safe and loved — and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kerrie went above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and little notes about Gracie’s day, which we truly appreciated. Kerrie also took great care of our home. We will definitely hire her again!

Eric is very easy going and did a great job with my senior dog- and my low maintenance dog. I felt completely at ease while traveling. He communicates well and the pictures he sent were the exact same ones I take every day, so I know the dogs felt as comfortable with him too. I will definitely use him again.
