“Michael is seriously awesome. From the moment he walked in for the meet & greet, it was obvious I’d made the right choice! He was so comfortable, caring, and loving towards my teenage kitten right away and it made me feel so at ease leaving her in his hands for a few days!! Even when there was a mix up with access to the house, Michael was so proactive, attentive, and flexible! I was beyond grateful. I seriously cannot recommend him enough as a pet sitter and all around wonderful human!!”

“Took great care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly while I was out of town!”

About: Hello! My name is Jen. I’m a mom, runner, lifelong pet owner, and dedicated caregiver who believes caring for animals truly feeds the soul. My experience spans all life stages—from gentle, patient senior care with strict medical routines to upbeat, athletic walks for energetic dogs. I love learning from every animal I watch, constantly expanding my knowledge of pet behavior to meet each fur baby right where they're at. My flexible remote work schedule allows me to provide attentive, punctual visits while strictly following your care and home security notes. I’m also a big fan of sending frequent, high-quality photos and updates so you always have total peace of mind! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care throughout my week. Whether your pet needs an early morning check-in, a mid-day walk, or an evening drop-in, I can be there reliably without feeling rushed. My flexible routine gives me the freedom to spend quality, unhurried time with your pets—giving them the dedicated attention, playtime, and careful routine tracking they deserve every single visit! 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛ As a long-time Haslett/Okemos/East Lansing resident, I treat every client's home with the highest level of care, respect, and security. Safety is always my top priority: I double-check that all doors, gates, and windows are secure upon entering and leaving, and I am especially mindful of safety details—like opening entry doors slowly in case a curious pet is waiting right behind them. I strictly follow your specific household and feeding instructions, ensuring food bowls, water sources, and other pet areas are kept clean and fresh. Whether we are out exploring local neighborhoods and trails on a tailored walk or having a quiet indoor drop-in visit, I provide close supervision, thoughtful communication, and frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while away. 🐕‍🦺🐾😸🐈‍⬛

“Giada was truly amazing! She was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly! She was not only very kind and friendly, but she also kept us up-to-date with daily check-in updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing our cat was in good hands!”

About: I have years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I’m confident handling daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, and basic care. I’m detail‑oriented and make sure your dog’s space stays clean, comfortable, and stress‑free. I’m naturally soft‑spoken with animals and take my time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. I love interactive play, gentle training reinforcement, and giving plenty of affection to pups who enjoy cuddles. My goal is always to create a calm, secure environment where your dog can feel happy and supported while you’re away. Book with me today! I’m available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM for walks, drop‑ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and comfort care. Whether your pet needs a quick check‑in or a longer visit, I’m happy to work within these hours to keep them safe, relaxed, and happy. I follow your pet’s normal routine and keep things consistent so they feel comfortable in their own space. I handle feeding, walks, litter box care, and clean‑up exactly as instructed, and I pay close attention to any notes you leave about habits or preferences. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your home stays tidy and your pet stays relaxed until you’re back.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for four years now, working at various shelters and boarding/daycare facilities! Through this experience, I have worked with a variety of dog breeds, ages, and medical conditions! I am a certified dog trainer through CATCH Canine Academy and am also certified in pet CPR and first aid! I am currently in college studying Animal Science at MSU and I work full time as a dog trainer. I have open spaces in evenings and mornings that I am looking forward to filling with taking care of your furry family members! I am more than happy to follow any guides you have for your pets! I am experienced in providing individualized care to many pets and am prepared to handle almost anything! This includes administering medications, and any quirky personality traits your pet has!

“Jadyn was wonderful! She was able to keep my little guy entertained and give him some loving while we were away for the weekend. She was timely and did all we could have asked for. I’m most definitely going to book with her again in the future!”

Allison L.

“I was so happy to see Lori's schedule matched the days we needed care for our cat. Lori did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were away. She provided plenty of pictures and notes about how she was doing. She is very responsive and trustworthy. Would definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thank you!”

“Jessa was an amazing sitter for my cat, Muzzy! She was very attentive to her needs and would update me regularly which I really appreciated. Muzzy grew very fond of Jessa over the week, despite being on the shy-er side sometimes. I would highly recommend Jessa to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”

About: With 9 years of experience caring for pets of all types and sizes, from dogs and cats to livestock and farm animals, I’m passionate about providing attentive and reliable care. As a full-time teacher, I’m working to supplement my teaching lifestyle while doing what I love—spending time with animals. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands! I am currently a full time college student, studying Elementary Education. I'm looking for work on the weekends, as I am nearing graduation and need to fund a classroom that fits the needs of my students! I love to stay active, so pets of any energy level are welcome. I provide personalized, attentive care for pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, treating each one as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their unique needs to keep them happy and comfortable. In your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have always had passionate for animals since I was a kid; I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. In order to fulfill this dream, I am majoring in animal science at Michigan State University as a third year student! Additionally, I volunteered at the Humane Society of West Michigan and Second Chance Cats. I would walk dogs, social cats, and clean litter boxes, bowls, and surfaces. As a volunteer, I learned how to understand behavior of pets to prevent a situation from escalating and promote the safety of the pet, myself, and others. I am excited to meet your pets and provide excellent care! I am not currently working right now, so time is flexible here! I am willing to work around your schedule and the best time for you. I am not available anytime on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. As I care for your pets in your home, I will make sure to follow all pet care instructions, whether it's dietary needs or medication regimens. I'll provide food and water when needed. Also, I could never forget to provide enrichment if the animal is comfortable. While I meet the basic needs, I will also be cautious of behavior in order to promote security for myself as well as the pet. Not only will I take care of your pets, but also, if comfortable, I can bring in mail, vacuum, or do laundry while respecting privacy and maintaining appearance of activity at client residence. Most importantly, I will secure locks and entryways to prevent unauthorized access by persons not approved by owners, and respect the boundaries of the home. As it goes for dog walking, I will be cautious of my surrounding environment, such as cars or other dogs, to promote safety for myself as well as the pet. Also, I'll never yank or pull harshly on the leash that could possible harm the pet. I'll always pick up after the animal.

“Took really good care of my kitty, she met my cat beforehand and she was very kind and respectful”

“Louise and I loved Makenzie. Prompt with each visit. Detailed messages including photos. Louise was clearly happy and felt safe with Makenzie. Given Louise’s timidness with new people, is a compliment to Mackenzie.”

About: I’m a senior Animal Science student with hands-on experience caring for many species through working at multiple farms, including in management roles. I’ve cared for animals with different needs and personalities and have also shadowed at veterinary clinics. I have two cats of my own and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly love working with animals! My weekends are usually free, so I’m very flexible for pet sitting and visits on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I have classes, but I’m generally available around my class schedule and can work with you to find a time that works. I take pet care seriously and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m an Animal Science student with hands-on experience working with many different animals and have also shadowed at veterinary clinics. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for both dogs and cats since I was 16. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide consistent, loving care while they’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means energetic playtime for puppies, patience, or gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their home environment. I’m currently a full time graduate student at Michigan State University. I’m away for classes on Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s for 3 hours each day. I’m not employed so I’m able to be home and care for your pet as needed! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I provide a calm, clean environment, stick closely to their usual feeding and exercise routines, and give them plenty of attention and affection. Pets get regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I adjust care based on their age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s extra play for energetic pets or a quiet, cozy space for seniors, I treat every pet like part of the family.

About: As an aspiring vet student, I've worked as a veterinary technician assistant, meaning I've been trained in animal handling (particularly for cats and dogs). I've taken care of dogs since I was little, and have recently been able to have the privilege to care for my neighbor's cat! With these experiences, I believe I can provide the best care for your pets <3 I am able to work anytime of the day, any day during the week, so I have plenty of time to stop in and take care of your pets! In my clients homes, I will typically take dogs around the block for a nice long walk and play with them in an enclosed yard (if possible) or a local dog park! When we arrive back home, I would make sure the appropriate food is in the dish and the water is filled (as well as any further requests be fulfilled).
