“Victoria and Rishi are awesome! I would highly recommend their boarding services. They are very professional and caring. Their drop off/pick up times are flexible which is super helpful. They kept us in the loop while we were away by sending us updates and pictures, and they sent our puppy home with a super cute boarding report card. It was our first time using Rover for our puppy, Lakota, and we were really able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that he was being taken care of so well. Lakota had such a fun time during his stay - we will definitely book with Victoria and Rishi in the future!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter, sending photos & updates during my absence. My pup was happy to see me, but she also loved her time with the resident pup! We definitely want to see Melissa & Chiquita again.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Alexandra and her family spoiled my dog with attention in the best way possible. Alexandra gave me frequent updates and photos so I could know my dog was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a safe, fun, welcoming home for their doggo to crash at!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Olivia was AWESOME! She sent daily updates with pictures! She took great care of our beloved dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone! I will definitely use her again.”
“Kim is a fantastic pet sitter who cares for my fur baby exceptionally well. She is friendly, trustworthy, and caring. This is already our third visit, and my dog has enjoyed his stay each time.”
“Jason and Kristen always make our dog feel at home. Great communication and very accommodating for our travel schedule! We feel so confident in leaving our dog in their care! Highly recommend!”
“Kasey and her family are incredible, the communication and videos of our boy Mack throughout the stay were very comforting. They treated Mack like one of their own. Would highly recommend.”
“Cari took care of our australian terrier for 2 weeks while we were gone. Dublin liked her right away when we went for a meet and greet. Cari sent us texts about Dublin and his activities. Dublin did not tear apart his bed, which indicated he was happy and relaxed. We were happy with Cari and her care of Dublin and would ask her to watch him again.”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”
About: I've grown up with spayed/unspayed dogs, tiny and medium sized, and have bathed them throughout the years. I'm less experienced with cats as I wasn't allowed one as a kid, but I would always play with and look after my friends' cats when I got the chance 😸 I'm currently a student at Michigan State University, with a part time job as an ice hockey referee. I am usually home 18 hours out of the day most of the days of the week! I live alone in an apartment on an upper floor. 650 sq. ft of space, so it's spacious. There is also an outdoor yard if needed. Caring for your pets will give me breaks between studying and homework! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, and making your pets happy will make me happy! 😊
“Samantha was great with our dog. She sent multiple pictures and videos and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Her dog seemed friendly and got along well with our dog. Her place is easy to get to in East Lansing, and she was easy to work with. Our dog came back happy after a two night stay.”
About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking very many credits this semester and I generally only have to leave for class in the morning about an hour a day. I do work part-time with my longest day on Thursday being a 4 hour shift. I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! For larger dogs, I prefer to care for them at the owner’s place only whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking. This is because of the space of an apartment and also because my roommate has a cat! If your cat stays at my apartment, my roommate’s will stay in my roommate’s room so you do not have to worry about confrontation between the cats!
“My dog Duke’s visit with Ann was very good. She regularly sent pictures and updates, and took very good care of my fur baby. Ann said they had a nice time watching Duke. I will book with them again when the need arises. Thank you, Ann!”
“Boji had yet another great time. He's super happy and ready to sleep the night away! Definitely book with him! They are the best out there and the most flexible!!”

My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.
Alex was awesome! I felt very confident in her taking my fur baby for 4 nights right away from our meet and greet! She sent pics and kept me informed of how things were going each day. She kept her on a schedule for feeding time and walked her every day even in bitter cold and ice and snow. Will book again with her for sure🐕🥰
We are grateful for Erin responding to our last minute request! Erin was very responsive and attentive to our fur babies and feathered friend. She was very respectful of our home and left everything tidy. We could trust that she took good care of our pets. Thank you Erin!
Alsacia took care of our cat Monty and dog Bear while we were out of the country and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Both are a handful to take care of and she was more than up to the task. She was communicative, reassuring, professional, flexible, and a delight overall. We will be rebooking with her in the future!
