About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.
“I contacted Carmen to watch my guinea pigs while I had work done to my apartment and she was extremely accommodating to my schedule and needs. She clearly has a genuine love for pets and was a great sitter.”
About: I’ve been trusted for years to help care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats of all needs and sizes! I’m a very patient, gentle and loving person who will give my all to help make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I will ensure your pet has a fun time and is well taken care of. Currently I have several small commitments during the week, and plenty of free time to hang out with your pet! I am flexible and am happy to work things out with you! When visiting your home, I will make sure to treat your space with the utmost care and respect. I will make sure your pet is fed, that they haven’t had any accidents, and will spend some quality playtime with them. I can help administer any medications they may have and can take them on walks or let them outside for some fun playtime!!

“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”
About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.
“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”
“Jamie-Ann did a great job with my cat. He’s scared of new people and she sat, waiting for him in case he was ready for the attention she would give him. I will definitely call her again.”
“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”
About: I grew up with large dogs in the house and have always loved and cherished them deeply. From puppy to senior dog, they are family and I believe they should be treated with the same respect, care, and love that we would treat any of our human family members. This means lots of play time and pets, giving good food and clean water, picking up after them, and making sure they are happy and well taken care of. I would do anything for my pets, just like I would do anything for yours. I currently work from home, and am a freelance worker, so I would be able to fit almost anything into my schedule! I like to plan out my days and prioritize, so I would be sure to create my routine around your pet. I treat my pets the same as I would any human family member. I care deeply for them, and would do absolutely anything in my power to ensure that they feel happy and loved. I would hold my client's pets to the same importance that I would my own, and make sure that they have everything they need!

“Jestine watched my cat Bean for one night and was absolutely a life saver. She was very patient and flexible, and provided pictures during beans stay. She also responded very quickly to all messages which I appreciated a lot.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.
“Angie did a great job of taking care of our cats while my fiancé and I were on vacation. She followed our more in depth instructions with the food to a tee and did a great job making sure all the litter boxes were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend.”
“Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.”

Sage P.
“Sage is one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving souls I’ve ever met. I have watched them handle dogs of different breeds, sizes, and attitudes with grace. Out of the kindness of their heart Sage walks their own dog for several hours almost every day. He is a lover of all living things, saving small bugs from my pool, stopping to look at pretty flowers, and enjoying walks through nature. My three dogs absolutely adore him, even our pup with some trauma and anxiety. If you’re looking for someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel loved, Sage is your best bet.”

Taylor M.
“Taylor is AMAZING with dogs, and I fully trust her with my little guy Ollie. He’s a small fluffy maltese with a big personality, super cuddly but also a little shy with new people. Taylor is so patient and gentle with him, and it didn’t take long at all for him to warm up to her. Now he gets SO excited every time he sees her (zoomies and all 😂). She’s the kind of person who really gets animals like, she notices the small things, respects their routines, and always makes sure they feel safe and loved. She takes him on nice walks, gives him his favorite treats, and sends me the cutest photo updates while I’m away at work and I love knowing my little man is having a blast.”

Ahab C.
“Ahab has helped dog sit for our shih tzus for nearly 5 years. In that time, we've only become increasingly impressed by his commitment to, and sense of responsibility for, pet sitting. He goes above and beyond and takes our dogs on multiple walks per day, keeps them company at home, and sends updates to us all the time. He treats our dogs like family, and they've come to love him as family, too! You'd be lucky to have Ahab care for any of your canine/feline loved ones.”

Lillian is awesome! Extremely attentive. Always left great notes. She was prompt and showed up twice daily at consistent time frames to take care of my little man! He is shy, and she even got him to snuggle on her lap after a few days of bonding! I know my little buddy Charleston is in great hands now whenever I leave town because I have Lillian to help care for him! Thanks again!
I couldn’t ask for more in a Petsitter than Andrea, especially since I was using Rover for the first time. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. She was not only exceptional in communicating with me twice a day, when I was away (one visit in the a.m. and one visit in the p.m.), she used her emotional intelligence in her observations related to Bonita’s eating and litter box habits; she clearly and in detail communicated how Bonita was doing - Bonita recently healed from inflammatory cystitis and through Andrea’s notes and interaction with me, allayed any concerns that I had. Andrea was also very reliable in showing up for her visits. Most important, Bonita liked Andrea, allowing her to pet her during each visit, which Bonita has never done with other people! My hope is that Andrea will become Bonita’s permanent Petsitter when I go away in the future.

Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻
My partner and I hired Jojo to take care of our bearded dragon multiple times over the last few months as we worked through the process of moving across the country. I had to take multiple trips back-and-forth and Jojo was there for us every time. We are devastated that we can’t pack Jojo up with the rest of our apartment, because we can’t imagine finding a better pet sitter!
