I can only begin to describe how grateful I am for Stephanie house sitting with my two schnauzers. Both dogs absolutely loved her and got lots more walks than they get from me. Willow still goes into the bedroom where Stephanie slept and finds comfort snuggling into the pillow. Stephanie was prompt and kept me posted about how things were going. She was respectful of the house, and everything was spotless when I returned home. Willow has a number of health issues and Stephanie dealt with them well - everything from administering meds to watch and judge a little blip in Willow's health. Because she has a car, she was able to get Willow to my vet if it had been necessary. I would recommend Stephanie for anyone needing a house sitter or someone to com into their home to care for pets.

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

Jenna did such an incredible job with our big pup! I was nervous leaving him for the first time, but Jenna made it so much easier to relax knowing that he was in the hands of someone who truly cared about his well-being and treated him as if he was her own. I loved all the photo and video updates and am so thankful for Ollie's time with Jenna. Thank you again! <3

About: I'm a cat-care expert. I moved to Macomb from Seattle where I catsat for over 50 clients, and I am now taking new clients here. I'm a cat-lover to the bone. I have four kitties of my own right now and have always had cats. I foster kittens for the McDonough County Humane Society. I'd love to be your catsitter. I'm honest, respectful, a great communicator, and a retired professional who now makes her living as an author (Catsitter Mysteries!). I can spot a hairball at a hundred paces, and I have over 40 years of experience with litter boxes. I have experience giving all kinds of medicine to cats (pills, liquid, salve, subcutaneous fluids, and shots). I have bottle-fed kittens. (In the interest of transparency, I do not have official training as a vet tech.) My schedule is extremely flexible. Recently, I needed someone to care for my cats while I was on a trip, and I realized how much stress it caused me. I was so worried about who would care for them. I'd like to relieve this stress for others and make going away more peaceful. If you have a dog or other animal that also needs care, we can discuss whether I'm able to provide what you need. I have experience feeding and caring for lizards, snakes, fish, birds, and even tarantulas. Wishing you all the best, Angel... Fully vaccinated. MORNING DROP-INS. Due to home responsibilities, I'm not available until 9am. OVERNIGHTS. For overnight stays, I'll be at your place all night and most of the day. I will have to leave for a little while to take care of my own kitties. I work remotely from 11am to 5:30pm, so I will be working in your home for a portion of the day. [WINTER CAVEAT: In terrible road conditions, I may have a hard time getting to your home. I will do my best, and I will work with you to give your pets extra food and water so they can weather a longer time alone. I will keep an eye on the forecast for you and will let you know if there's a chance something might come up. Thank you so much for understanding! (Note, this especially applies if you live somewhere off the main roads.)] I work from home, so my hours are very flexible. I can match your cat's medication or meal schedule, spend the night if you want someone there for them, and do up to four visits per day, either 30 or 60 minutes each. I will treat your home like my own and respect both your privacy and your wishes. I cannot care for your pet in my own home unless it is in a cage, crate, or otherwise contained.

About: Hello! My name is Olivia and I’m 24. I’m a proud owner of a vibrant 12-year-old Toy Poodle, a cherished member of our family since I was young. During high school, I launched a thriving dog walking/sitting service right in our neighborhood, where I had the pleasure of caring for an array of delightful dogs, from playful Poodles to majestic Rottweilers. Since moving I no longer have a pet of my own and miss the daily walks and playtime! At the moment my job offers a lot of flexibility where I am able to work remotely 75% of the week. I am available around your pups needs! I live in a complex with lots of running space inside, as well as next to lots of open fields right outside. Also just a short walk from the park! I will care for your pet by following all your wants and needs!

About: I have two dogs of my own, who LOVE friends. Trust me your dog will be wore out and ready for cuddles when you get home. I cannot accept cats, even though I love them, my beagle will try and track them and I don’t think they will have fun. I do have outside cats that I take care of, but if your dog does not get along with them, I can keep them away. I live in the country, so I have a HUGE yard, but it is not fenced in. I’m currently home most days, so dogs will not be kenneled for long periods. Outside breaks every hour to two hours when I am home. You fur baby will never be lonely at our house. My two dogs will love to play and I have a giant couch for cuddles! I will send updates and pictures!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!

Angela cared for my partner's and my two kitties on more than one occasion! And she was truly a god-send!! She always made sure to send us videos of them, or at least Tiki since he loved to come out and play with her when she pulled out the feather toys on a string. Reese warmed up to her after a few watches, and with how tough of a judge of character Reese is I knew it meant she was in good hands with Angela. She was always responsive whenever we had questions for her while we were away, and she was always polite and professional. I would recommend her as a sitter, 100%. I mean, I requested her over a pool of others because she was truly the best!!
