“Logan did great watching our border collie/german shepherd mix at our house! She handled the little ball of energy that is our 1 1/2 year old dog very well :) Would Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter on rover.”
2. Julia H.

3. Rod L.
“Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!”
4. Devon D.

6. Hunter C.
“Hunter did a wonderful job with Cocoa! He was super quick to respond to all of my inquiries and was loving and fabulous with our sweet girl. We felt that he did an excellent job and would love to have him look after Cocoa again if ever we are out of town in the future. Thanks Hunter, for your wonderful job and helping us feel secure that our girl was in great hands.”
7. Kathryn R.
“This was my first experience with Rover. I have extreme anxiety about leaving my dog with ANYONE, much less a ‘stranger.’ Kat eased my worries from the very first conversation & offered to meet Luna and me at our convenience before her stay. I immediately felt better after we met and knew my girl would be in good and safe hands! Kat followed our instructions perfectly and clarified with questions when needed. She sent tons of photos and videos while we were on our trip, and she even took our girl on a fun walk at a nature trail! Our home was perfectly kept and respected. I was so relieved to have had such a great experience because I know not everyone has been so lucky. It can be hard to trust your baby with others, but I will continue to trust Kat with my dog when I need a sitter, and you should, too!”
8. Athena G.
“I had an excellent experience with Athena’s pet sitting services. Her care and attention to my pet were outstanding. She truly loved animals and it shows! She kept me updated and my pet was clearly well cared for and happy when I returned. Athena went above and beyond, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
9. Lily H.
“Lily dog sits my 2 dogs regularly while I am at work and for occasional overnights, and I could not be happier with the care and love my pups receive with her! She sends me regular photos of them snuggling and playing throughout the day, and takes them on long walks frequently. I have a chihuahua and a Great Pyrenees, and she is great with taking care of both a giant and teeny dog. I would definitely recommend Lily to any pup parents!”
10. Courtney C.
“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”
11. Sarah H.
“Sarah accepted my request for a same-day house sit and did a phenomenal job with my home and animals. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
12. Jess P.
“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”
13. El G.
“El is awesome and was available last minute, which helped me a lot. She’s very friendly and pays attention to detail. She communicates well. Aria loved her!”
14. Kathy S.
“Kathy was very easy to work with and very responsive. After meeting Kathy at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable with her staying at our home and taking care of River and Rowdy. While we were away, Kathy was responsive and sent updates and pictures of the dogs. I could tell they were happy and were comfortable with Kathy. When we returned home, the house was just as we left it and River and Rowdy were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathy.”
15. Anissa R.
“Sunnie (Anissa) was so wonderful with my Theo staying overnight multiple days who has complicated medicine, needs lots of cuddles, and is a bit of a scaredy-cat (he is a dog fyi). Sunnie followed my instructions and Theo didn’t seem at all stressed when I came back. Sunnie was easy and quick to get in touch with and kept me updated. Sunnie was great at making sure he was ok with firework noises. Sunnie also was wonderful for some drop in walks with him as well. I am so thankful to have found Sunnie and feel quite relaxed and happy when he gets to be with Sunnie!”

“Delaney was very professional and sweet. She took very good care our our 2 small dogs and 1 cat. She arrived on time and even sent us a picture with our dogs on her lap! We love our pets and she did a great job. I would hire her again!! Thank you SO much!!”
18. Emma O.
“We had a great experience with Emma. She took exceptional care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. From the start, she was very communicative, keeping us updated regularly and always quick to respond to messages. We appreciated receiving several photos of our dogs, which reassured us that they were happy and well taken care of. We came back to a clean and well-maintained house, and happy pups! I would definitely recommend Emma and plan to ask her to house sit for us again in the future!”
19. Kimberly W.
“I have had the pleasure of entrusting my pets to Kimberly on multiple occasions, and I couldn't be happier with the care they received. Kimberly is incredibly responsible, experienced, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She goes above and beyond to meet their needs and is extremely passionate about animals. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver.”
20. Amelia H.
About: I have had my pup ginger since I was 9 years old (19 now). On top of taking care of her over the last 10 years I have been relied on by neighbors and friends to walk pups, feed and take general care of both cats and dogs and stay overnight with dogs. I am currently a student at Western Michigan University, so most of my availablity is on weekends and select week days. Depending on your location I may be able to stay at client’s homes during the week. I want to be as available as possible while still making it to my classes on time Whatever guidelines clients give will be what I follow. Everyone takes care of their pets differently so I want to accommodate to whatever makes you comfortable. Certain things that come to mind no matter the client are always keeping water bowls full/clean, walking/playing with pups frequently and keeping track of cats as best as possible.
