1. Robyn P.

“If I could give 10 stars I would!!! I will absolutely ask Robyn to watch my babies again. She picked up my emergency job and was at my house in an hour at 9pm. And it was past her bedtime!!! My original pet sitter was a no call/no show and we were already out of town for a medical appointment. She did a FANTASTIC job with my cats. Normally I like to meet and talk with my pet sitters before having them come for the 1st time but this time she was able to do everything just as if I had been there and it was flawless. Actually one of the 1st times we’ve walked in our house and there’s not been anything wrong. I will without a doubt ask Robyn to come back again. But this time with significant amounts of notice … less than an hr she earns a place in my heart for stepping in when it could have been a serious situation I am just so grateful.”


2. Ally M.

“I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.”


3. Samantha T.

“Sam always does such a nice job watching our kitties when we’re out of town. She goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and they love her!”


4. Leila H.

“I couldn’t be happier with Leila! She was an amazing sitter for my puppy. She took excellent care of her and sent me regular adorable pictures. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Leila is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”


5. Danielle N.

“Danielle is a great sitter! Even though we organized our stay kind of last-minute, we were able to get in a meet and greet, and she instinctively knows all the right questions to ask to make sure your visit is worthwhile! She provided great updates and photos during the stay too, which is the most relieving part. Danielle was not only a great choice to check in on our cat Trebek, it is great to have someone check on the house while away. We hope to work with Danielle again and will definitely be going to her first for our needs!”


6. Carissa M.

“Carissa has made this process easy and stress-free, it’s refreshing to know that my cat is in good hands. And better yet, you can tell Carissa is a true pet lover, she’ll care for your pet as if it’s one of her own. She even texted updates along with videos of my cat (who looked very happy to see her)! I will 100% continue to contact Carissa to watch my sweet boy while I’m on trips.”


7. Merryn M.

“Our cat Cloud loved Merryn. She was super helpful with all of our requests and went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her in the future!”


8. Annie L.


“Annie took such great care of our two cats while we were away! She was super responsive and very thorough. Would definitely book with her again!”


9. Lydia H.

“Lydia took great care of my GSD while I was out of town for the weekend! He can be weary of people he doesn’t know but really liked her from the first time they met. Sent good pictures and nice updates, recommend her for any of your fur baby care needs!”


10. Audrey U.

“Audrey was responsible, communicative, and always sent a note with photos of all the cats when she visited. She also played with the more active ones. Thanks! I will be using her services again in the future.”


11. Jess H.

“We can always rely on Jess to come check in on our cat when we are out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond to take care of Gwen as well as our house. Highly recommend!”


12. Merritt F.

“Merritt was AWESOME with our little girls, Roxy and Jessie! Thank you very much, Merritt for being so reliable and sweet with them. You helped us get Jessie acclimated in her first month home from rescue! We will definitely call on you again in the future.”


13. Mason M.

“My first experience with Rover and booked last second-ish. Mason was very professional and did a great job coordinating, sending updates, and working around my schedule. Would book again and recommend to others.”


14. Sydney D.

“Sydney is great! I went home to a happy dog after work each day. She is on time, gives my dog a lot of attention, allows him to play and go potty. Only good things to say!”


15. Alexandra D.


“Thank you so so much for taking care of my Mia! Your updates and pictures helped with having to be away from her. I appreciate everything so much!❤️”


16. Laurel K.
About: Pets aren’t just animals that live with us- they are truly members of our family, and I treat every animal in my care with respect and dignity. As I lifelong pet owner of rescue animals and by my work with Michigan Humane Society, I know how important animal care is and have knowledge of animal welfare and animal behavior. Animal care is part of my daily life, and I’d love to help you care for your pet (feeding, walking, providing enrichment, medications, etc). I work remotely full time, but can be available during lunch, in the mornings/evenings, and on weekends! My remote schedule gives me a lot of flexibility. I always ensure pets have their foundational needs met (food/water, bathroom, privacy) before making sure enrichment needs are met (playtime, exercise, toys, puzzles). When meeting new animals, I always allow them to approach me first, and I have a fenced in yard for animals at my home.


17. Isabel H.

“Isabel was very considerate and even brought enrichment activities for our dogs. She was also very understanding and patient with our reactive dog.”


18. Tara W.
“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”


19. Vanessa S.

“Great with my pup! Was caring and attentive”


20. Sydney H.

“Sydney is fantastic, she’s been working with us to make sure our dog has as little anxiety as possible about his parents leaving and being patient while we figure out his needs. Thank you! 🐾”
