About: Out of all the sitters on Rover, why should you choose me?! -Military Friendly! As an Active Duty Military Member, I frequently work with active duty and reservist members. I can watch your pets while you are away for Drill or if you just want to go on vacation! -Playmate! I have a 3 year old pitbull named Rambo (See pictures) who absolutely loves it when I have guest dogs come over. He is friendly with all dogs big and small and you will see that upon meeting him! -Daily exercise Fitness is a part of my everyday life. I walk Rambo daily, and if you choose to board your pet with me and would like me to, they will accompany us on our daily walks 😊 Go to Sitter -One stay with me is all it will take to earn your confidence and trust for any future pet sitter needs! Above all, what sets me apart from other sitters is that I was raised to treat dogs as family. Dogs (and other pets) have emotions and feelings just like us humans do. Your pet is free to roam my home, just as if they were in your home. My name is Jake! I'm 28 years old, and I'm an active duty military member stationed Down River as a recruiter! I have a 3 year old pittty/terrier who loves people and other dogs and I have been taking care of dogs since i was 15. I work roughly 9-3 at the moment but I often work from home on certain days as well. I also have the freedom to visit home throughout the day when I choose to I have a mostly fenced in yard that is very spacious and multiple 50+ foot leashes that are hard attatched to the fence. I will not let any pet outside without being attatched to one of the leashes on the fence for your pets safety and your peace of mind! Now that the weather is getting nicer i love to spend time outside with the dogs. I typically will always have at least 1-2 additional dogs that I'm sitting so please communicate with me so we can figure out the best situation for you and your pet 😊

About: Hello! I’m Natalie, and I love helping animals of all kinds get fresh air, exercise, and positive social time. With experience walking everything from high-energy puppies to mellow senior dogs, I adjust to each dog’s needs. I mainly work with small to medium breeds as well as cats and keep walks/visits calm, attentive, and fun. I’m always happy to reinforce good behavior with treats (with your permission!) and send updates so you know your babies are safe and happy. I'm currently working part time as a coffee barista so I'll have time to tend to your pets! I'll typically be available mid day most days with flexibility. When walking or visiting your fur babies, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. During walks, I make sure leashes are secure, follow your dog’s pace and preferences, and always clean up after them. After the walk, I ensure they have fresh water and send a check-in with how everything went. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention based on their comfort level. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each friend's unique personality—whether they love playtime, cuddles, or prefer their space. I also keep a close eye on behavior and send updates so you know they're safe and content. I respect your home and your pet like they’re my own.

“Alsacia is great! She replies to my requests in a timely manner, has a flexible schedule and takes good care of my animals. She gives detailed reports of the visits and is just what we were looking for!”


About: I've lived with 3 large dogs for over 17 years and have also helped watch others' dogs, both big and small. I love the senior dogs just as much as the energetic ones and am able to match my energy to what is needed. I can be flexible regarding drop in visits and walks, so please contact me if you have any questions! I'm currently working full time and working on a master's program part time, so I have some availability on weekends to play and care for your pets! I'm available anytime on Sunday and may be able to do some evenings throughout the week. Please contact me if you have any questions. I am very mindful of an owner's home and the dog's needs when providing care. I will respect any rules the dog owner has for their dog and space and can help care for larger and smaller dogs. This includes both senior and younger dogs.

“Tayler was great!! I have a hard time leaving my pets, but Tayler put my mind at ease and allowed my to enjoy my vacation without worry! She sent adorable pics everyday of my crew loving all of the affection she gave them! I highly recommend Tayler (especially if you’re a worrier like me!) :)”


“Heather did a great job with the cats. She was always prompt and attentive to their needs. Thank you!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Milo and Lila, on the day of our wedding. We needed someone to drop in on them to let them outside and feed them, and she provided us with text updates for each of her visits which took the weight of worrying about them off our shoulders. We would 100% have Abby come watch our babies again.”


About: I grew up with dogs and they meant alot to me, I cared about them very much. I will treat your pet the same way I did mine. I'm a school bus driver and I'm off for the summer, so I can be available most days that you need me to take care of your pet. You can trust me to take good care of your pet. You can trust me to respect you, your pet and your home. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and safe.

“Kasie is always our choice to take care of our beasts, she's punctual and understands their needs. Even the timid ones warm up to her and give love!”


About: I have been working with dogs since I was a child and I also have several years experience volunteering at animal shelters in both South Eastern Michigan and Southern California since 2010. I work 9-5 M-F from home so I'm available after all weekdays and all weekends to ensure you're stress free while away from your pup! I have a 2 year old 40 pound Catahoula who is very friendly and loves other dogs so your dog is guaranteed to stay occupied!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs — especially big breeds and poodles (they have my heart!). I have hands-on experience working in animal shelters, adoption centers, and a dog grooming salon, which gave me a strong understanding of how to care for all types of dogs with different needs and personalities. At home, I also have a dog of my own who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how important trust, patience, and fun are in pet care. Whether it’s an energetic walk, some one-on-one attention, or a calm visit for an older dog, I treat every pup like family. I’m confident with strong, large dogs and always make safety and comfort my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! My schedule is open for evening walks Monday–Thursday after 4:30PM, and I’m available mid-day Fridays and Saturdays. I’m happy to help fit your pet’s routine! Safety, trust, and care are my top priorities. I have hands-on experience from working in shelters, adoption centers, and grooming, and I’m confident handling big, energetic, or shy dogs. Your pup will always be on safe, secure walks, with plenty of attention and love. I also send updates and photos to make sure you feel connected every step of the way!

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover with years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! I provide safe, nurturing care for your fur babies, and I am confident in giving medication to animals as directed if needed. I'm friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with being reliable, giving conscientious care, and proper communication. I love going on runs/walks/hikes so if your fur baby needs some energy burned, I can help! I currently work a consistent rotating schedule of days. So, my days and availability change often but I’ll keep my calendar updated at least a month or two ahead of time! I have one fur baby. My dog's name is Drax and he is a lab/husky/German shepherd mix who is a huge teddy bear. He wants to be everyone's best friend! He is young so he can run and play all day. So daily walks and exercise are mandatory for him!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. They are loyal, fun and loving. I will care for your dog like they are my own because I understand how important they are to you! I do work full time but it would be a pleasure to spend my time off with your animal. I absolutely love being around animals! I will follow any instructions you have for your pets needs very carefully! I am very organized and detail oriented, you can trust me to love your family member.

“Missi did an excellent job in what turned out to be a difficult situation. One cat needs insulin twice and day and the other escaped the house and hid in the barn. Missi searched for him and ended up putting food outside for him. All ended fine. The escapee was found, both are healthy and in good condition. Thanks, Missi.”
