“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about it. After day 2 on my trip I felt like I could finally relax . Elizabeth took care of my dog (very old ) and he was happy and in great spirits when I returned . Definitely will schedule again next time I’m out of town”

3. Zoe M.
“Zoe was amazing! We were heading out of town and Zoe stopped in to take care of a new rescue dog with high anxiety and our 12 year old cat, both which needed medicine twice a day. Zoe kept us informed of everything, sent photos, and went the extra mile to spend time with our pets and put them at ease. Thank you Zoe!!”

“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
9. Mark G.
About: I have had at least one dog sometimes 2 for the last 24 years. All of which I raised to a happy old age. Also had to say goodbye a lot. My weekdays are free right to make sure we get all the energy out. I don't mind feeding and cleaning up. Some of the best walks are in the snow! Regular feeding times are important and getting outside enough. Lots of play time to keep them out of things they shouldn't be into. And of course, lots of scratches!
10. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer did a great job dropping in to feed our cats and horse while out of town. Setting up a meet and greet was quick and she has been great to communicate with. I definitely recommend booking her!”

“Carolyn is doing an excellent job meeting my needs with my mini Goldendoodle. She comes each scheduled day on time, follows directions, provides prompt reports on her visits with my pet, and she responds promptly with communications.”
13. Steven C.
About: I've been around pets and other animals for as long as I can remember as a kid (a LONG time ago, lol!). Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds, etc., of all breeds and varieties. This has still not changed to this day, and I currently have three German Shepherds who are just big sweethearts. I can't imagine ever not having pets of some sort. I have recently semi-retired and finally have some time and freedom to pursue things that I love with pet care being one. I pretty much have an open schedule for whatever and whenever your needs may be. I currently have three large dogs with a fairly small house so sitting here would be challenging right now. We are in the process of reworking our space and fencing in the rest of the yard, so this will change in the future. But still open to any other arrangements that might be required. All good for walking and visits though!
14. Ashley B.
“Without a doubt, Ashley has been the most flexible, reliable, communicative, trustworthy, kind, and just generally lovely dog sitter that I have ever had! She was able to save the day not once, but multiple times, by sitting for my dog at the last second, and by being willing to alter our previously agreed upon plans when my work schedule was haywire. She sends me just the best, cute pictures and videos of my girl Zephyr and goes with the flow when I ask her to change something about our service. If you are looking for a pet sitter that you can trust to treat your dog the way that you would, be on time, love your dog silly, and be willing to change plans at a moments notice, then Ashley is the gal for you! I don’t know what I would have done without her lately. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ashley!”
15. Jillian S.
“Jillian was so flexible and even came for a meet and greet with our pup before we left town. She texted us great updates and went above and beyond on walks. Will definitely book with her again.”
16. Ashley A.
“Ashley would be a good candidate for you to have on your site. She treats animals like they’re her own. Make sure they well taken care of take them on walks. Make sure they’re fed play with them. if you’re looking for somebody who goes above and beyond with pets, you are looking at the right person!!”

18. Haley U.
About: Hi, I'm Haley and I'm a 25 year old Health/PE Teacher. I have two cats of my own at home. I have had experience watching many different breeds of dogs since I was around 13. I'm an overall animal lover, and I have worked with the humane society of Mount Pleasant through my school's program, called HATS of CMU. Additionally, I will love and care for your dogs (or cats) like they're one of my own :) I am fully available and fully committed to caring for your pets regardless of the time of day. Please contact a day in advanced for an AM scheduling request. I currently live in an apartment so I cannot house more than the two cats that I currently have. However, I will make sure to follow the schedule that you already have for your animals and will remain attentive to them and provide the quality care that they deserve :)
19. Drew R.
About: I work part-time to be a stay-at-home dog mom to 3 female dogs. We prioritize their health and happiness with love and care every day. Our dogs are rarely alone. I work a few evenings while my partner is home. They enjoy daily outdoor play and are always enriched and happy. I walk client dogs on a leash in my large yard surrounded by woods. My 3 dogs will be off-leash but will keep your dog company.
