1. Kara C.
“Kara has watched our cat, Cleo twice now. She always shows up on time to feed her. Kara also leaves nice notes about how she’s doing and sends me pictures every visit. You can tell she takes her time to give her a little love each time she stops in. I would definitely have her watch Cleo again in a heartbeat.”
2. Emily H.
“Emily was so good to our pets. She kept me updated on all concerns and questions. We will definitely use Emily again. Our boys were in great shape when we got home!! Thanks Emily!”
3. Alicia S.
“I am an active sitter on Rover here in Traverse City with multiple repeat clients and five-star reviews. I know what it takes to be a trusted sitter on this platform and I truly love my work caring for our local furry friends. I recommended it to Alicia because I know she'd be absolutely perfect and I'd love to have someone great who I can refer clients to if I'm unavailable, and I'd only do that for someone I absolutely trusted. We met in college and are both in the environmental field, active in the community and have a passion for advocacy. Alicia is one of the most dedicated people I know and is known for giving 100% to everything she does. She's logical, reliable, committed and most of all, she's kind. Your pets will love her and the love will be returned x 10! I give her five stars and I know you will too!”
4. Jonathan P.
“Jonathon completed two visits today with our 4-month-old puppy, Bodhi. Jonathon was amazing! He was patient and made sure Bodhi was comfortable with him. He provided informative and fun updates and followed our complex directions perfectly! We highly recommend him.”
5. Mary J.
“Mary Jeffrey is not just my Daughter in-law, she is a kindred spirit. Mary and I share a love for all animals, pets as well as any wildlife. We have had many adventures together over the years from stopping our vehicle to save dogs from getting run over, to being there for friends and neighbors when they needed a helping hand with their own pets. Mary will go out of her way to ensure not just her own two dogs are well loved and cared for, but also she is there for me anytime I need help in a pinch with mine. I have two dogs and seven cats...all rescues. Mary is an avid hiker so her Husky and Malamute never want for exercise and adventure in the woods. She has had many years of training her own dogs as well as helping with her brother's rescue Husky. Mary is the only person I have ever known who could teach her Husky to not only not kill her Ferrets, but actually befriend them. Mary is one of the most caring and ethical people I have ever known. If you consider pressing her into action walking or taking care of your own beloved dog, you will never be sorry.”
6. Kathryn B.
“From the first meet and greet Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Abigail. She took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation and provided updates and photos during each visit! We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
7. Regan E.
“Regan takes care of 7 year old Labrador Retriever Baby Jack (BJ), and 13.5 year old Labrador Retriever Jill. She is reliable and shows up as promised. She does a great job of playing with BJ and getting him relaxed and calm. Regan is patient with Jill who is quite elderly and requires a lot of TLC. We highly recommend Regan--she is smart, reliable, caring and everything anyone could want in a dog companion! Five stars and we will continue to use her for walks, playtime and overnights!!!”
8. Jason L.
“So reliable and good with our pup!”
9. Jill B.
“Jill has a huge heart for loving animals. She has rescued several animals that otherwise wouldn't have been adopted at all, because of a physical condition, or age. She talks about her animals all the time, takes photos of them, even sends them video messages when she is away from them. Jill would be an excellent person to choose to care for your pet because of the love she shows her own pets, and any pet she comes in contact with. She understands that some animals are shy and they need time to approach her on their own; she NEVER invades space or makes an animal uncomfortable. She respects all pets and is very thorough in her care of them. And the pets all love her! She has a calming presence that the animals can sense. Jill is perfect to care for your animals!!!”
10. Katrina S.
“Katrina was great with our dog and so communicative and helpful. She was right on time for every visit and flexible when we had a couple of changes to our schedule on the fly. We're so grateful for her help!”
11. Alexa P.
“Alexa took great care of our cat! She helped us out last minute, which was a huge relief. We came home to find him happy and healthy, couldn’t ask for more!”
12. Christina B.
“Christina is an amazing caretaker of all animals! She took care of my dog Otis many times, including later in life when he needed medications administered and special attention, and I can’t speak highly enough of her professionalism and caring nature. She is a person I felt very lucky and grateful to have to look after Otis (and he loved her too!) and I never had to worry or check in with Christina when he was in her care. I will definitely trust Christina with all of my pets in the future and can’t recommend her highly enough.”
13. Elizabeth S.
“We’ve had Elizabeth overnight dog-sit for us on several occasions and have always felt at ease knowing our pup is in good hands while we are away. She is a great communicator and we always look forward to the photos and video updates she sends. She is very attentive to all of the instructions and needs of our pet and leaves the house just as we left it. If you are looking for a trustworthy human to look after your best fur friend I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
14. Katherine K.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Interlochen, MI. I have had dogs my whole life (2 golden's, 1 half pitbull/lab, and a beagle) and have loved them all very very much. I love taking dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them at the park. I also wouldn't mind taking them to the dog park so they could see all their friends! I am a responsible, caring person who genuinely loves animals and I work from home so have a flexible schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me :) Thanks! I work from home so have a flexible schedule! I can walk/play each day I available and work around my and your and your dogs schedule. I will watch your dog inside/outside, make sure they are safe, going potty (if outside), and staying within their parameters if they have an invisible fence.
15. Elaina P.
About: Over the years I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! My friends and family have relied on me to walk and care for their fur babies. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby or babies! My schedule is very flexible. At my home I ensure that my dog’s water bowl is always full and everything is out of reach. On walks we spend extra time sniffing around, my dachshund loves cars for some reason. I want any animal that comes into my home to feel safe.
16. Lindsay J.
“I appreciate everything you do! It’s been very helpful and nice to know Honey is taken care of!”
17. Katherine W.
About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)
18. Molly D.
“Molly is a very responsible young lady. She is great with the dogs. They took to her right away. She obviously knows how to handle them. My dogs get very excited when she comes to the house. They know they’re going to get to have some fun. They come home and sleep for hours after an afternoon with Molly. I think she tires them out. Really good peace of mind for me having her take care of them when I’m not able to.”
19. Jill N.
“From the moment we met Jill we could easily see her instant bonding with our dog Sadie. A few days later Jill made a trip to our house to go over the detail of entry and dog care and to further nurture her positive relationship with our dog. Of course we were not here when Jill made her visit. But Sadie gave her a "5 paw" rating and mentioned that she would like to see Jill again. As a discrete young lady Sadie wished that Jill didn't give us detail on her "tinkle in the yard" but we certainly appreciated it. Plus the added bonus of a picture made our afternoon! Thanks Jill! Greg and Mary Jo”
20. Ashley & Hannah Z.
About: Hi there! This is our first time with a commercial app, usually we keep our sitting to a tight knit circle but we recently lost two of our favorite boys and are looking to add a couple of new families to work with! My name is Ashley and I was sure to add a photo with my partner Hannah so that you know she might pop in with me or visit the pets and I on a walk or join us for a picnic date! I currently work from home so as long as you have a strong, secure connection I can bring my work with me to spend more time with your pets! Please let me know about any special care your pet might need! I am certain that we will hit it off and be the best of friends!
