About: I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town. I work in the field of film, which is typically 3-4 projects a month, so I have pretty open availability for pet care in the days between. I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.
“Andrew is awesome- do not hesitate to hire him! This was my first experience with Rover, and Andrew made sure everything went smoothly. It was so nice to be able to leave my cat in her own space while I was out of town, and although she can be skittish around new people, Andrew won her over, and I could tell she was well taken care of. Andrew is sweet, respectful, reliable, and clearly great with pets. Thanks, Andrew!”
“Megan was always on time and communicated well during each visit including great pictures! Megan went above and beyond for our kitties making sure they got their meds and cleaning up after them. I will definitely re-book Megan in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.
“Ashley went above and beyond for us! Highly recommend and will be using her services again when needed.”
About: I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and consistency. I’m comfortable with dogs who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I have experience caring for senior pets, including giving medication and understanding their slower pace and changing needs. I’m also detail-oriented and great at following specific routines, which makes me a reliable option for drop-in visits and regular walks. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, a potty break, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help keep their tail wagging and their day on track. I am available for walks and drop in’s Monday - Friday from 9am - 3pm EST. Just let me know in advance and I’ll be there! I treat my client’s home with the utmost respect. You have nothing to worry about when you invite me to drop in on your pet.
“Scott and Stephanie were great to work with. They communicated well, showed up for the full appointment time we booked, and took great care of our cat when we were out of town. All the stars, would book again.”
“Chloe did a a fabulous job watching our little girl. She spent lots of time playing with her and gave her ample supervised outdoor time. She even left Cat TV on for our girl while she was away. Chloe sent us multiple updates with pictures and was always very responsive. We are also very appreciative with how much time Chloe was able to spend with our kitty while we were away, ensuring that she did not get lonely. We highly recommend Chloe and will be booking her in the future! :)”
“100% I will definitely have her again. She was great and caring with our fur babies, and she was very helpful in showing us other options to help our 15-year-old cat with his arthritis pain.”
“Taylor is AMAZING!! My 4 dogs love her, and she was so reliable and great with her communication.”
“Desi was so fantastic. I'm really glad I chose her. Her updates and positivity was so lovely. I'd recommend her to anybody else looking for a sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pups over the years and now I’m looking to expand that with Rover! I grew up with dogs and don’t currently have any of my own so I will treat your furry friends as my own🐾 I am working part time and have good availability for day checks and stay-cations! Message me for more details and we can work something out! I do not offer in home care at my house, but I have experience both checking in and staying in others’ homes with their furry friends🐾
About: I have grown up with springer spaniels and have cared for them throughout their entire lifespans. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but am very active as well. I always love walking, hiking, jogging, and paddleboarding with my dogs! I am a healthcare worker so work variable hours, I generally have quite a few days to a week off in a row, especially week days! I have years of experience pet sitting at family, friends, and neighbors houses. Since I have many days off, I am able to stay at clients homes full time during the day and have plenty of flexibility for walks/ potty breaks.
“Absolutely a great experience…. For our dogs and ourselves Thank you sooo much Amanda”
“Wonderful care, great in communication. Took such a good care of my senior female dog. I will highly recommend Kassiana to others and for sure use her services again.”

My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to daily excersize and interaction. With my compassionate and caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for your pet perfectly. I am available most day's to care for your fur babies. Please find my schedule and please reach out if you have more questions. Thank you Currently not available for any type of overnight or boarding services. This may change in the future with housing needs . Thank you for understanding.
About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am 25 years old. I am an ambitious, adventurous, vivacious individual. I am currently in my second year of college at Mott Community College working toward my Associate's in Psychology, so that I may then transfer to the University of Michigan to achieve my Bachelor's. Once achieving my Bachelor's, I would like to work as a counselor for a few years before going back to school for my Master's so that I may eventually become a bereavement therapist and open a private practice. I am currently a member of the Psychology Society at Mott and I was selected to join the Mott Community College's chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success. I have been taking care of dogs of various breeds since I was old enough to take care of myself, having owned numerous amounts of dogs for about 20 years. Neighbors, friends, family, and a few Rover clients have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend time with their pets for the past 5 years -- possibly longer. I am not certified yet, but I intend to take a CPR & First Aid course for dogs as soon as possible -- hopefully, I never have to use it. But it would bring me peace of mind knowing that if there were ever a situation with my dog or someone else's dog, I'd know what to do. I intend to take a pet grooming course as I would be able to offer more grooming services. And lastly, I also intend to take a dog obedience/training course so that I may offer training services as well. Being a full-time student takes up the majority of my time, thus I am looking to start up cleaning, dog walking/dog-sitting, and babysitting/nannying businesses so that I may keep a steady income for the next few years. I am taking all of my classes online and will eventually switch to going on-campus for my classes, but that will most likely be in a few years when I am attending U of M -- which would require me to move out of the Northern Michigan area. As a member of the Psychology Society and the NSLS, I may occasionally need to travel for a couple of days to Flint for an event -- especially considering I may apply for and take on one of the positions in the Psychology Society. With that being said, I would prefer to have a decent amount of time to prepare and set a date on my calendar for any services I will be providing for you. I will also make sure to keep my availability up-to-date. I would also appreciate cancellations to be in advance as well, but I do understand that life happens. In clients' homes, I will take your fur baby/babies to any nearby parks and/or long walks on any trails. I offer grooming services such as bathing, ear cleaning, and hair brushing. I request that if I am in your home, you leave me a list of my responsibilities. I do not mind caring for young puppies that are still in the process of potty training. I just request that you let me know exactly what cleaning supplies you would like me to use to clean up any messes if he/she has an accident -- preferably this won't happen as I will be around and will have the time necessary to avoid accidents inside. Currently, I am not offering boarding or doggy daycare services because my dog does not get along well with other dogs. But I do plan to start offering those services again in the future... I have a decent-sized yard, but it is not fenced in. I have a leash hooked up outside to easily let your dog/dogs out for potty breaks if the weather is too bad for a walk. I have two full baskets filled with toys from bark box to play with and I try to stay stocked up on treats from the Three Dog Bakery! You can bring your treats as well if you give your dog a specific brand of treats. I have no problem with dogs getting on my furniture, but I do also have an extremely comfortable Serta dog bed if you have taught them to stay off of furniture. If your dog is puppy pad trained rather than trained to go potty outside, then I would need you to provide the pads as I do not have any. I am also okay with boarding/dog-sitting a puppy in my home once I am offering those services again as well, even if he/she is still in the process of potty training. I just request that you provide a kennel or crate in case I need to leave my home for anything. I would not leave the puppy attended for longer than an hour and a half.
“Tanya did a wonderful job! Very communicative and followed all instructions for my pet. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
About: I’ve taken care of mine own dogs and others my whole life. I am an active girl, that loves to bring dogs on walks or runs. I am a middle school special education teacher so I have summers off. I would be able to care for a pet throughout the summer with an extremely flexible schedule. I would be willing to come and stay at your home with your pet and keep their routine as if you never left! I am a caring girl willing to keep your pet happy and healthy!

James C.
“This is the sitter you've been looking for full stop. When looking for someone to watch your precious pets, and likely be in your space, you need someone you fully trust. You want someone who is willing to go above and beyond if the need should arise. Fortunately for myself (and YOU), that person is James! James has cared for my 3 cats and German Shepherd dog multiple times. Those periods have been a short as a weekend, and as long as 2 weeks. Every time, not only are the pets happy as can be, but we received updates throughout and he took care to ensure no blemish was left on our house. James is incredibly responsible, a pet owner/lover himself, and has my full trust when taking care of my family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter.”

“Meghan is one of the most patient, empathetic, and animal-loving people I know. She has looked after my pets with the kind of care and warmth that immediately puts both my animals and us at ease. Meghan treats every creature she takes care of as if it were her own, whether she's walking, pet-sitting, or just keeping them company. Her calm manner and genuine passion for animals make her someone that, whether its a shy dog or a high strung puppy, makes them feel safe and comfortable. I completely trust her and she's the type of person you'd want to look after your precious furry family.”
