Allison did a great job taking care of our two cats. She followed instructions for them and gave them attention. They seemed happy and unstressed when we arrived home.

Alexis is just great with my dog and cat. My dog is 100% a herding dog, e.g., needs lots of exercise, and she gave that to her. Fast walks, playing in the backyard with a herding ball, etc. The notes she left about my dog were phenomenal. Very, very informative. I have already scheduled her for later this summer.

Julia took care of our 2 large, older dogs and our house for 6 days while we traveled. She did a fantastic job- the dogs were happy and content and the house was left clean for us! She texted and sent photos daily! She watered plants and filled our bird feeders. She made it much easier to leave our pups without a guilty conscience! We highly recommend her!

About: I started house/pet-sitting earlier this year. I love it! My two extended-stay experiences included an apartment with two cats, and a home with two boxers. I received superior reviews from both clients. I am fit, can go on long walks, and leave the place cleaner than I found it! As a retiree, I have a lot of discretionary time. If in the Washtenaw County area, I may need to run some two-three-hour errands during any given day. That will all be cleared in advance. I am attentive to the pets, and often stop what I'm doing to give them attention. I am excited when they come into the room. And I am exceedingly patient and gentle.

Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.

About: I have walked some dogs before as well as staying at their houses. Little ones and big ones. I’ve taken care of two senior dogs. I’ve let some of my neighbors animals out or if needed I went and fed them. I also work at a doggy daycare I work a full time job at a doggy daycare. I am free Monday and Friday afternoons. Mornings of Tuesday-Thursday and I occasionally work Saturdays 9-5. I am free everyday of the week for snuggles with your babies I unfortunately don’t get to take my dog out for walks often but when I watch other dogs I play outside with them and take them on walks because they usually live in a neighborhood. I feed them when needed and I give them medicine if they need it.

About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud. Also added another furry friend to our mix, a red golden retriever, her name is Sadie. I also have four cats, one big orange tabby, a calico, and two black cats. My heart is full of love for animals and I would treat yours like my own. I dog sit for my grandparents as well, and friends as needed. I had the honor of helping train my grandmas dog and Finn as well. Simple things like learning to sit and stay but still important! I am currently home for the summer from college. I attend Ferris State and will return in the fall. So, I am just looking for a part time gig for the summer! Besides one vacation in June I am completely free for all potty breaks, walks, etc during the week. I have two dogs at home if a stay at my home is needed, I have leads available for use as well. We also have a fairly large crate used for our golden when she was a puppy, so your pet can be crated if necessary! My pups are very friendly and would love the extra company! I also have no problem staying at a clients home if that makes things easier! I have reliable transportation and have an SUV to take the pups to the park or anything like that! I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.
