Kathleen has checked in Waffles numerous times while we’re away, and we always know she’ll take great care of our kitty! She sends awesome photos and brings in the mail, which is so appreciated!

Lauren is so great! She helped me out with a last-minute drop in request with only a few hours of notice. The following is my review of Lauren when I first engaged her to care for my dogs…a bit long, but it will paint the picture of the kind-hearted and responsible sitter Lauren is. When my former sitter could no longer care of my dogs, I turned to Rover to find a new caregiver. I was drawn in by Lauren’s profile and clear love of animals. She came over to meet my old dogs (10 and 13 ½) and they hit it off immediately. My boys are always excited for a visitor and smothered Lauren with lots of attention. She was patient with them and really took time to get to know them – outside too. I arranged drop in visits three times a day while I was gone (6 days). She sent me a report card for every visit. They were detailed and included lots of photos (20 or so). Her description of the visits where so good…she captured the quirks of each dog and gave me a general update. Between the photos and her descriptions, I felt like I was there. The report cards have a time stamp and I could see that she spent more than the scheduled time with the dogs. I could tell that my dogs were good and happy. She was great at following instructions for the medication for my older dog. And the house was in order when I returned. My neighbor mention how nice she was and how much time she spent outside with the dogs. I can’t recommend Lauren enough (though selfishly…I only want her when I travel). You would be lucky to have Lauren care for your beloved pets.

About: As a long time pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your animals. I treat every pet in my care the same way I’d want mine to be treated—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, love, and attention! During visits, I can also help with feeding, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Also, have experience with Seniors.

I've cared for both cats and dogs over the years since childhood, rarely living without having at least one in the house! I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I also volunteered with the Michigan Animal Rescue League as a dog walker from 2023-2024 where I was trained in understanding various dog behaviors and how to provide a safe environment even in stressful situations. I am looking forward to putting my knowledge to use and providing excellent care for pets in my local area! Let's connect and schedule a complimentary meet-and-greet! I can't wait to meet your four-legged family! I work in the government sector and am starting a new full-time job later this year, making me available for your pet care needs nearly 24/7! Whether it's a drop-in or short-lengthy walk, I am excited to enrich your pets life while you're away! While I can't care for your pet in my home, I am a quick learner who will mold my time with your pet around your routine with them! You can trust me to treat your pet as one of my own and provide the utmost respect for your space.

Sabrina was so amazing! She made my cat Toby feel like he was on vacation while I was gone. She played with him, pet him, gave him treats and sent me updates all along the way. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely repeat next time I have to leave my Toby for more than a day. Thanks, Sabrina :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including large breeds like German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Labs, and Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. For the past 4 years, I’ve been dog sitting and have experience caring for puppies as well as older dogs with different routines and needs. I have references from previous clients who can speak to my reliability and how well I care for their pets. I also have a college degree and bring a strong sense of responsibility and trust to every job. I love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, taking them on trails, playing, or just relaxing at home. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also love cats and am happy to care for them too, though most of my experience is with dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time and also volunteer with research labs as I prepare for graduate school. While I’m unavailable for extended weekday house-sitting due to my work schedule, I have availability for evening and weekend pet care and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care. I’m used to structuring my day around animals, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, or simply providing companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, and caring for them is something I look forward to. I strive to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible and adapt to their individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves activity or prefers a calmer environment and extra cuddles, I aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I always make sure they have fresh water, are fed on their normal schedule, and stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. For dogs, I provide at least two walks a day along with plenty of outdoor time, play, and attention based on their energy level. I love going on walks or trails, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home with them and giving them lots of love and companionship. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean and organized. I follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. If pets are in my home, they’ll be in a safe, calm environment with lots of supervision and attention. My goal is always the same, to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved the entire time you’re gone.

First off Heather and Robert are so kind. We instantly knew they were a blessing. All four of our pets instantly warmed up to them. Even our more antisocial cat! They both are very knowledgeable about dogs and helped us find good toys/ treats for both our heavy chewers. Secondly, while we were gone they sent a lot of updates and pictures! We appreciated it a lot since we missed our furbabies. We would highly recommend them for anyone who is in need of pet care.

Kendall was fantastic and I can't recommend her enough. It's obvious she cares very much about animals and just doing a great job, in general. My kitties liked her right off the bat, even the super shy/nervous one. She provided wonderful daily pictures and feedback while I was away. It was a relief knowing my pets were in such great hands! I came home to two relaxed, happy kitties which never happens when I'm gone so long. I will definitely get in touch with Kendall for kitty-sitting again. Anyone's pets would be in safe hands with her!

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.

Jacki was so amazing with my kitty! She took incredible pictures and left me detailed notes of a play by play of what they did during the visit. She also is very prompt and timely. She is very sweet with my kitty—she rarely comes out and is shy, but Jacki got her to come out of her shell. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

About: I come from a family of big animal lovers. Some of my siblings even turned that passion into careers as veterinary technicians. I was raised in a house that always had a dog, which truly is what made it a home. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own (but hope to soon!), my family has loved and raised 3 over the years - making it second nature for me to treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits into my routine before and after work during the week, plus open availability on weekends. I’m big on routine and making pets feel like nothing has changed for them while they’re being cared for - so I aim to stick as close to their normal schedule as I can, while providing attention, walks, and care that feels steady and familiar 😊 I care for pets by following the owner’s instructions closely and maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walk timing, behavior cues.

About: I've raised and cared for my baby dog Lola also known as lolanaptimepartygirl since I was 10, pets have always played a very important role in my life. I love animals of all kinds and ages having 4 senior dogs of my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect as they are not only friends but family, and it is truly an honor to get to exist in a world where we are able to connect with and care for such beautiful kind creatures. I work a part time job that's pretty flexible so I'm relatively available whenever. My schedule changes weekly so just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! I have a fenced in yard and gates that are available to be set up throughout the house. I am also able to crate your pet if needed.

This was our first time booking with Becca and we could not recommend her more. We have a 1 year old cat, who can be shy at first and she took the time to make him comfortable, including coming for a meet and greet. We were out of the country for 7 days, and did not worry once. The communication and pictures we received were great. She even brought in packages and trash cans for us. When we got home, I think our cat was upset that it wasn’t Becca walking into the house again! We will definitely be booking with Becca again in the future!
