“Janelle was an amazing sitter for my kitties! She was extremely communicative and wanted to make sure she was doing everything as best as she could. She gave my babies love and always made sure their space was clean! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”

About: I worked at a local vet clinic (2023-2025) as a receptionist and a vet assistant. It is not my chosen career path, but I did learn valuable skills and knowledge on caring for pets, especially ones with health concerns, as well as triaging for urgent cases and emergencies. I have taken training classes with one of my pups at home from beginner to advanced. I have experience with puppies,adults, and senior dogs, plus dogs with health issues. I have some experience sitting for cats, including kitties post-major surgery, and I grew up with cats who I had from the time they were kittens through to old age. I am comfortable with pets of all ages! I also grew up with dogs as big as Old English Mastiffs and as small as tea cup Chihuahuas, so I am comfortable with all sizes as well. I work full time, and my schedule changes week to week. I work anywhere from 5 hours shifts to 8 hours. I am unable to leave for lunch breaks or anything like that, so I am available for pets who are able to be left alone up to 8 hours on days that I work. I do get two days off a week, and those days I'm available all day and can adjust my routine and schedule around your pets! I have two playful pups at home that love to meet new people and dogs! Every 4-8 hours they go on potty breaks in the yard, which is decently big for running around. They go on 30 minute walks almost every day and a special hike or activity at least once a week. Caring for the pups is split between my boyfriend and I. While no one is home, my pups have free-range of and kitchen with all doors closed throughout the day. They always have access to toys, fresh water, and couches/dog beds to lounge on. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in our bed with us at night, but we have two dog beds available as options. We love to give a couple treats/snacks throughout the day as well! I really enjoy making the time spent other pups fun, so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their people are away. As a pet parent myself, I respectfully follow all of my client's rules and what is required regarding their pets and home.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of all types of pets. My own, my friends, my family, or people's pets i never knew. I have had 16 different pets in my life! For the summer I'm planning to just focus on myself and do this as much as I can to make some extra cash and spend time with animals! I will take dogs for as many walks as your pets need a day, and will make sure I spend quality time with them and treat them as if they are my own. I have dog sat for someone who took their dogs on 4 walks and day and was very strict with how they care for their dogs and people who are more laid back and don't really have a say that much as long as they are getting proper care, so whatever you want me to do in order to keep them on their routine or things like that I can do.

About: I worked at an animal shelter where I helped care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I gained experience with lots of different categories like feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure animals felt comfortable and cared for. I also have experience with reactive dogs/cats and making sure to create an environment where they thrive and do not feel the need to be reactive. I also worked with many different types of cats, especially the shy ones who just needed more support. I have also given vaccines and medicine to animals, as well as taken a senior diabetic cats blood sugar. I understand every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow any routines and give them all the patience and attention they need and deserve! I also have experience with family animals! Growing up, we had all sizes of dogs, from a German Shepherd to an Italian Greyhound! So I have experience with all different animal personalities like door dashers, small velcro pups, and the older ones too:) I currently have a small dog, a bearded dragon, and a hamster! I truly love animals and want pet parents to feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and getting lots and lots of love while they’re away! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening pet care as needed! I live in a rented apartment, so sadly I’m not able to board pets in my home. I do offer care in clients’ homes, which I believe is often best for pets since they can stay in their own familiar space:) I always make sure to follow instructions closely, keep the environment clean, and prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort.

“We have used Rover before, but no one has ever come close to the service she provided. She went above and beyond, traveling more than 45 minutes to accommodate our needs. She arrived early and stayed late with our bulldog, giving us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we could tell she genuinely cared. Highly recommend!!”

“Kendra is a wonderful petsitter. She was quick to initially respond to my request and she scheduled a meet and greet quickly to see if our job was a good fit. First impressions was that Kendra was kind and professional. She was reported her daily check-in and was patient with my kitty who was timid and hid from her until the last day. I'm thrilled to have found Kendra and will be reaching out for future trips.”

I am used to working with animals with different temperaments and will accommodate to their needs.

“Emily was great! Everything worked out perfectly!”

“Alexa is wonderful! Honestly, she's one of the best pet sitter we've ever had. She came to our house to watch our 2 cats/ dear kitty friends, and she truly seemed to understand their needs and ours! She always did MORE than required, including regular communication, photos, and details that she'd only know if she was really spending time with them. We came home to a tidy house and 2 happy, well-fed cats. And when we got home from a long, stressful drive, we found the sweetest note about our kitties and a gift of homemade pumpkin bread! And, Alexa is smart, personable and energetic. We left feeling good about the woman we were entrusting with these small animals who trust us. I never worried about a thing, which for me, is an amazing gift. I missed our cats, but I never worried about them. For me, THAT is the very best recommendation I can give a caregiver. We will certainly hope she is available for every future trip we make.”

About: I’ve had pets and taken care of animals my entire life. I’ve always had cats- my first cat I got when I was three, and I’ve been the primary caretaker for them since. I’ve also had bunnies, dogs, hamsters, and fish! In my hometown (Madison, WI) I was always the go-to pet caretaker. I’ve walked and house sat all kinds of dogs, cats, and other furry friends. Being around animals is something I value a lot! I work part time at Ore Dock Brewery in the summer, and am a nursing student at NMU during the school year! I have lots of free time and am super flexible. I am caring, fun, and perceptive to what your animal needs. I am willing to go on long walks, play catch, cuddle, work on training, groom, or anything else you or your animals wants! I am confident in my ability to keep your pet safe and happy.

“Olivia was fantastic. She definitely deserves a five star review. She showed up when she was supposed to and stayed for the agreed amount of time. She took wonderful pictures of Otis. She used features that I didn’t know existed with Rover. She’s is on top of her game and I would definitely use her again.”
