Cat Sitting in Dansville

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 for family and friends. I have watched all types of dogs, large, small, young, and old as well as some cats. I am an active person that enjoys exercise but I also love nature so I can go at whatever speed your dog prefers. I am a graduate student at MSU so I keep a busy schedule, but I will always find time for your pets and treat them as my own! Although I am not certified I have trained my own dogs and can adjust to whatever level of obedience you are looking to attain. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary so I have experience with all kinds of animals besides just cats and dogs. I would love to be able to assist you with any of the services I can provide for your furry friends! I am a graduate student so I do have classes during the fall and spring term and MSU employs me part-time as a teaching assistant. I do have availability inside and outside the working hours of the day depending on the day of the week during classes. In the summers, I currently work on research for MSU but have flexible scheduling to fit your pet care needs. I am a detail-oriented person and will care for your pets exactly the way you would in your own home. I also will treat your home as if it was my own and clean up after myself and your pets, and make sure your house is safe and secure while you are gone. I will be happy to take care of your pets and make sure they are well-taken care of until you return!

“We used Marissa for drop in feeds for our cat while we were out of town. She was great! Prompt, courteous and communicated with us regularly! Would definitely recommend and will use her again! Thanks Marissa!”

About: I have 5+ years experience caring for dogs! My neighbors, family friends, and other have trusted me to take care of their pets with dignity. I currently have my own business training and raising hunting dogs! I work full time during the week 7:30-4:30 which is why weekends work best for me! I’m also able to take my hour lunch early or late if pet care is needed during the weekdays! I understand the importance of respecting an owners wishes on how their pet is cared for in and out of their home. I have 4 dogs of my own that are my whole world. I will treat your pet like mine. I can easily crate/kennel your pet even in urgent situations.

“Cheyenne took excellent care of my dog and cats. She is always on time and quick to respond to any questions. I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter close to Okemos!”

About: Hello, I'm Andrew, a dog walker based in Mason. This summer (‘25) I am only offering dog walks, so if you’re looking for a walker, reach out please! I am offering an inexpensive rate. I have a personal car and am available to travel for work. I have worked through Rover before, and every single job I’ve taken has been a blast and every new dog is a friend. Please reach out for dog walking needs! Schedule is totally flexible! I am available on a daily basis. Also, I make homemade doggy treats! I have a delicious and nutritious 5 ingredient recipe for peanut butter & pumpkin biscuits made with coconut flour that your dog may appreciate. Contact me about delivering a treat bag, big or small, for a birthday or special occasion. Pet care can fit into my daily routine in the way that best suits my clients needs. Like I said, I work and study from my computer so I am fully mobile and and my schedule is flexible. I care for the pets in your home exactly like I am expected to. Pets, snuggles, activity when appropriate, general maintenance. I engage with each dog one on one and ensure that they're being taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had a shih-tzu that I raised and currently have an alaskan klee kai that is my soul dog. I LOVE both dogs and cats, they are such a light in this world. My friend and I used to dog sit for her neighbor once a month, and I dog walked for my neighbor every day for two years, as well as dog sat for her whenever she went on vacation! I know I may not have experience on this app specifically, but I have lots of experience in real life and I would be a great fit for your needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job so I can go back to college, and my friend suggested I check out rover, which I LOVE the idea of! I will also be moving to Lansing very soon! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, feed and water them, play with them, snuggle on them, give them medication, whatever you need I can do as long as it’s safe to do it! Thank you for your consideration:)

“My pets received excellent care.”

About: Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, I have extensive dog sitting experience. Throughout all 4 years of college (and beyond), I dog sat for a family with 3 dogs of various sizes. They travel a lot, so I often stay at their house for days/weeks at a time. Additionally, I volunteer at the local animal shelter so I spend a lot of time caring for the shelter pups as well! I have a pretty consistent schedule! I work remote every weekday except for Tuesday, so I'm available all day on those days as well as the weekends. Tuesdays I work in the office from 8-4, but I have the ability to leave and let the dog(s) out during my lunch break at around noon. When I'm house sitting, my number one priority is that the pet is as comfortable as possible. I try to keep the same routines that they are used to doing with their person. Additionally, if I'm staying in someone's home for a prolonged period of time, I always make sure to respect their space and leave it looking better than I found it!

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and currently work as a dog bather in Okemos! I am also going to grooming school, and set to graduate in September! I’ve cared for animals all my life. This includes cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, sheep and I even have a gecko! I have shown cows and sheep at the county fair, so don’t worry if you have a large dog that likes to pull or play tug of war! I worked at an animal shelter dealing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I hang out with my siblings often who also have dogs, a cane corso and two elkhound mixes, and we’ve had labs and pomeranians in the past. I have bathed, trimmed nails, and given oral/topical medications to dogs, cats, sheep, and cows. I am also open to taking care of any other pets or farm animals you may have! I work two to three days a week at Dog Gone Fun in Okemos, and do three days of school at Animal Crackers in Hartland. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask! I have cared for a variety of dogs- different breeds, all ages, all temperaments. I grew up with dogs my whole life (among other animals), and I have learned a lot from my experiences about how to read an animals body language.

“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”

“Missy was wonderful! She took great care of our 2 dogs. Everytime she came to our house we got a detailed description of how the visit went. Pictures of our dogs too! We would highly recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future! Thank you so much Missy!”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

About: I was a long time dog owner before my best friend Murphy passed away. Have owned cats even longer. Not ready for a new dog yet myself but would love to help out you and your fur babies! I work M-F 9-6 but with lunch hours I can drop in at a reasonable time during the day typically. Also have a side gig on the weekends but happy to work with you on a schedule we can all agree to! I trained my last dog from a puppy to an adult, with a real calming presence and patience to help. Also familiar with giving medication to cats and dogs alike

“Stephanie was extremely considerate and went above and beyond to take care of my cat. She provided pictures, videos, and report cards of how my little fur baby was doing. 5 stars!”

“We did a meet and greet with Jeremy and my dogs seemed very comfortable so we tried a 30 minute drop in visit when we were out. All went well and I am happy to have someone we can trust to keep my fur babies company when we are gone. We will certainly use him again!”

About: Caring for pets has been an integral and rewarding part of my life, yielding a robust skillset perfectly suited for in-home animal care. My comprehensive experience, which includes fostering over 20 dogs and working directly at an animal rescue, has equipped me with exceptional proficiency in behavioral observation, managing specialized routines, and quickly establishing trust with animals in a new or private setting. My expertise spans various temperaments and breeds, from high-energy puppies requiring consistent training and socialization to elderly cats needing patient, gentle handling and comfort. I am highly comfortable providing detailed, individualized care. I pride myself on my ability to quickly understand an animal's non-verbal cues and maintain their sense of routine and security within the comfort of their own home, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being remains the absolute top priority while providing clear, professional communication to their owners. My current commitments and demands provide me an ideal schedule that will allow for me to focus on providing quality in-home care care to your furry family members. My goal is to provide a worry-free experience for you while you are away. Daily Updates: I send regular updates (usually after each key visit) via text or a preferred app. These updates include photos and/or videos so you can see your pet happy and healthy. Detailed Log: I maintain a log noting the time of feeding, walks, potty breaks (and noting any unusual stools), and medication given. This ensures consistency for multi-day bookings and provides a record for the owner. Immediate Notification: In the unlikely event of any noticeable change in behavior, appetite, or health, I contact the owner immediately, following the pre-arranged emergency protocol. In short, I treat your pets and your home with the passion, consistency, and respect I would give my own family

About: I’ve had pets all my life, dogs and cats. I know what it takes to put trust in someone else for their care, I can be that person. I’m recently laid off and have decided I’d rather my time be spent caring for your animals. I love long walks, playtime, and routine. Give me a call! I love my home and my pets, that is my life. When stepping into your home and caring for your pet, I promise to provide the same love and care as though it’s my own. I’m honest, reliable, and respectful.

About: What a perfect way to earn money and boost my serotonin level, by spending time with animals! I allow my dogs on my furniture, but if you don’t allow that, I’ll respect your rules for your dogs. I have two Dobermans, so I’m used to taking them on walks on the cross country course down the road from my house. I have leashes for walks and toys for outdoor playtime. I’m willing to drive to your house multiple times a day or stay at your house for the time needed if need be. I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve also had some other critters here and there, including hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchilla, leopard gecko, chickens, goats, etc. I have 5+ years of veterinary assistant experience. I have knowledge of administering medications, bathing, caring for elderly pets, training puppies and even restraining. Let me know if you have any questions! I’m currently not employed, so my schedule is very open. I have time to make frequent visits to your home for animal care and walks. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs who are very active. We have lots of toys to share and yard to roam. The day will be filled with endless pets, belly rubs, and lots of playtime!

“Karen was very responsive and dependable. She did an excellent job in helping to take care of my two cats while I was on vacation. Highly recommend.”
