“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“Sydney was very friendly and helpful in this experience. This was the first time we left our puppies to go overnight. Sydney kept us updated with pictures and messages. She listened tentatively and followed directions. If we ever need a pet sitter again I would feel comfortable to call Sydney. Thank you so much! The puppies also liked her so that’s a good sign as well.”
“Britnie is absolutely amazing!! Being new to Michigan, we struggled with finding someone to take care of Luna while we had to leave for the weekend on a plane back to Florida. It’s hard to trust just anyone with taking care of your best friend! Especially being so far away. We gave Britnie a try as I had a good feeling. She assured me Luna was in good hands and to enjoy our vacation. She exceeded all of our expectations!!! I received message and picture updates about Luna all weekend which my family and I enjoyed and greatly appreciated! Britnie is just so sweet and gave us the comfort we needed and the love Luna needed. Luna especially had a blast with all the dogs and Britnies fam I seriously don’t have enough words to say how much we appreciate you! Luna says thank you for taking care of me :D I would love to come back again!”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Guinea! She was great with communication and sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay. Guinea came home happy and tired from all the playtime and attention. It’s clear he was treated like part of their family. Would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a warm and reliable sitter!”
“Josh tuned in to my dogs special needs and quirks right away and kept us updated during our 10-day trip. His photos and updates kept us confident our beloved pet was in good hands. Kiki couldn’t have been in better hands.”
“This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!”
“Natalia was responsive and extremely accommodating for our last-minute request. She was so calm and reassuring at drop-off and sent photos of Diesel during his stay. We are so grateful for her help and care while we navigated a family emergency.”
“I highly recommend Christina! She watched my 4 month old Havanese puppy and provided excellent care and sent pictures, videos and updates for us to enjoy while we were away from our baby for the first time 😊”
“Angie and her family took good care of my parent's dog, Murphy. She sent daily photos of the dog and shared some of their activities. Angie was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book her again to care for Murphy. I highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Charlotte is the absolute BEST!! My son was very nervous about leaving his new fur baby for the first time and Charlotte went above and beyond to reassure him that Wes was in the best, most loving hands! She invited us over before our trip so we could see where Wes would be staying and made us all feel welcome in her beautiful home. She sent us pictures throughout the day and kept us up to date on his adventures! She truly loved him like her own! Charlotte even did research on his particular breed to understand how to best care for him. We are so grateful we were able to enjoy our trip without a worry knowing that Wes was enjoying his "vacation" too! We very HIGHLY recommend Charlotte!”
“I was nervous to leave my puppy with someone but Rachel did a great job. I got updates and videos. My little Max just loves her. I knew when she picked him up and he didn’t stop wagging his tail! Will definitely use her again!”
“Laura and Joe were absolutely amazing with Bailey! I have never left her anywhere except for the groomers and they really made me and my dog feel comfortable.”
About: I’ve done a lot of puppy raising and training. I have had 6 labs that I have raised and trained from 6 weeks old on. I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication and helping them to get around and be comfortable. I would love to watch your new puppy while you are away for the day or longer. I can help with basic training socialization. I am occasionally subbing for special education at a school at the corner of my street. If I happen to get called into sub I am able to come home at lunch only leaving the dogs for a few hours at a time. I have a 5 year old yellow Labrador that is very friendly and gets along very well with other dogs. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard—and a built-in companion! Dogs I welcome into our home are treated like part of the family, just like our own beloved fur baby. I also have a crate available, which our dog uses freely whenever she wants a cozy spot to relax.
“Mackenzie took very good care of my dog Daisy. Daisy had a little anxiety at first but MacKenzie got her to settle down and have fun playing with her kids. Was well taken care of. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
