“Brodi took great care of our Siberian cat. She sent pictures of our girl each day and kept her fed, watered and engaged her in play. Our cat was a happy girl when we arrived home from vacation. Brodi was an excellent cat sitter! :)”
“Colleen is an exceptional sitter. Her expertise and trustworthiness make her the perfect choice. Knowing our pet and house are well cared for allows us to enjoy our time away knowing everything is in good hands. I will always book Colleen for future trips.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child, and finally was able to get one in 2017. Since then, I have not stopped caring for or petting dogs, as they are a constant source of pure joy in my life. I am also trained in certain animal science. For the summer, I am completely free for pet care! I am usually awake by 6 and can walk as late as like 10 pm. In your home, your dog is where they are most comfortable. I plan on allowing them to guide whether or not they want to play, go out again (for fun! not just for a walk), sleep, or whatever it is they want to do. I promise to respect you, your house, and especially your pet!
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, but I’ve been growing my animal family for 15 years. I have experience with large dogs and cats. I help take care of my parents dog. Feeding, walks, playtime, and most importantly cuddle time are my specialties. I work full time (7am-3pm) but would love you help you out while you are on vacation with overnight stays, weekends, or even stopping in for feeding times. At a clients home I will utilize their equipment, fenced yards, leashes, crates, etc. However the typical care of the pets is, will be used in the care under my watch.
About: I’ve worked in both ER and general practice veterinary medicine for the last 4 years. Before that I worked at a boarding/day care facility as a manager for 2 years. I have two dogs of my own. One being a senior and the other being a puppy. I also grew up with many cats I work full time at an animal ER and part time at a regular vet clinic. I have 2 days available for house sitting and on the other days I can drop in and walk/play with your pets between my shifts I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for the last few years. Pet care and safety is something very important to me after working in veterinary medicine for the last 4 years. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible. Giving them extra love and play time where I can.
“My wife and I were very pleased with Whitney's daily care of our cat while we were out-of-state for our daughter's wedding celebration. She came everyday, for 1 1/2 weeks, and ensured our cat was well taken care of, and sent us daily photos and info updates, in addition to ensuring our house was secured. Would trust and recommend Whitney. Very pleased.”
About: Experienced with young fur babies, senior dogs, zoomies, and cuddle bugs. Excellent at sticking to a routine or just going with the flow! Here to provide ease to you and your fur family when you need a helping hand :) Currently living at home while finishing school, so my schedule is, as of now, pretty open (especially during the summer before school starts back up!). Try to be adaptable dependent on each pet’s personality. May or may not become a slight helicopter parent when providing care. Cute selfies of your fur baby will be taken and sent to you, so forewarning.
About: Hi there, I’m new to Rover but not to pet care! I had multiple dogs when I was young and love all animals immensely. I have patience unlike anyone else and am always down for some physical activity, so whether your dog wants to stop and smell the flowers on a walk or play fetch in the yard, I can match their energy! Due to my smaller build, I specialize with small-medium sized dogs. Thank you for your consideration! I am off for the summer so I have flexible availability to care for your pets. I am free most days of the week, most often in the late morning and afternoons. I am also available on the weekends. I care for your pet in the familiarity of your home and follow the care instructions you give me. Your pet is a part of your family, so I treat them like I’m just another family member! *Disclaimer*: I am highly allergic to cats, so your house must be cat-free. Thank you in advance.
About: Hello! My name is Aryn Rollberg and I am a 2022 graduate of MSU with a bachelor’s in Animal Science and a concentration in pre-vet. I’ve been working in the equine industry for the past 10 years and caring for other people’s pets for the past 13 years in my spare time. I recently moved to the area and am hoping to make this a full time career! I currently own a beagle, pit, 3 cats, and 2 geckos. I am very experienced in pet sitting (dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, horses, rodents, livestock, etc.) having done everything from extended overnight stays to quick drop by's to let out. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for several years prior to college, so I am very familiar with basic first aid and know when it is appropriate to call the vet in case of an emergency. I am very willing to work with pretty much any animal (cats, dogs, horses, birds, reptiles, rodents, etc)! I am flexible to work with your individual situation and treat any animal that I watch as my own. All of my services include daily photo updates! Shoot me a message if you need an educated, reliable, and animal obsessed pet sitter 🐈⬛🐕🦎🐎🐀🦜 I am hoping to make this a full time career and currently have full availability! I’m very willing and able to work with your schedule. I will treat any home as if it was my own. I am more than happy to do extra basic tasks such as grabbing mail, watering plants, etc.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕
“We felt comfortable trusting our cats with Emily immediately after meeting her. She is very pleasant and thorough. She was also very accommodating adjusting our dates due to illness on our end. We will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve always been an animal person.

Your pet will feel loved and comfortable, I promise you’ll be happy with my service
“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”
“Grace has been watching my pup for a few months now, and he loves when she comes! All his needs are met and then some. I don’t know what I would do if she’s busy when my pup needs watched.”

“I have never met a more responsible or caring person when looking after the care of pets. She pays attention to the smallest details and requirements of animals and is happy to attend to their needs.”
Kendall S.
“Kendall has had many years taking care of her own pets, including Dogs, cats, goats, chickens, lizards etc. Kendall helped with our family pet, as it was time for Maggie to pass on. Kendall is working hard in school, towards becoming a Veterinarian. Our family can depend on Kendall to give the best care, time, and love to your Family pet as well. We recommend This young lady with the upmost trust, you won’t want to rely on anyone else to take care you and your pet. Respectfully, Norma E.”

Aryn R.
“I have had Aryn watch my 5 cats and 2 dogs for several years now. She is always quick to respond and is available almost every time I need her to watch my animals. She is very loving of animals and treats mine as if I was watching them myself (frequent visits, extra time spent with them for attention, daily updates). If you are looking for a knowledgeable and responsible sitter, I highly recommend Aryn to look after your animals!”
Madelyne L.
“I’ve known Madi for 3 years now and by far, I can say that she has an unconditional love for animals of all sorts! She has cared for our dogs, our cat, our snake, our flock of 13 ducks, 4 chickens and 2 guard geese! When she comes over she greets and snuggles/holds all of them (the cat is not a snuggler and the snake is too small to snuggle still), all of their different schedules and needs are cared for; she is probably more attentive to all of them individually than I am! I highly recommend Madi to care for your pets! If she’s not familiar with how to care for them, she is a fast learner (our flocks are a good example). I have complete confidence that I can call and have no worries that my homestead is handled!”

Sage D.
“Sage is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my furry babies! Right off the bat when we first met him we got an excellent first impression. He is very warm and friendly and was great with my little shih-tzu who is usually very anxious around new people. He would send pictures of my pets and made sure they were fed and walked at their scheduled times. I was very pleased with his service and I plan on relying on him again whenever I need another sitter.”

Grace did a wonderful job taking care of our two Savannah Cats while we were on vacation! It was our first time working with Grace and we couldn’t be happier how everything worked out. Both our cats adapted to Grace well since she took such good care of them. We look forward to having Grace take care of our cats from now on. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of these services!
