“Tony was super communicated and kept us updated about how our fur children were through out our time away. He was very good at handling our dog (who needs medication twice a day) and was pleasant to meet! 10/10 would recommend! Will definitely book with him again!”
“Dana came and stayed with my two dogs for three nights and four days. She was fantastic! Very attentive and a great houseguest on top of being wonderful with the dogs! Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Alex has stopped by to feed/play with our older two boys and spent a weekend with our not-yet-13-week-old puppy. We cannot thank her enough for her communication and obvious love for pets.”
“Nicole did a great job adjusting to last minute changes in watching Maxine. There was a last minute need to administer meds and ointments and keep an eye on a surgical wound. Nicole did a great job adjusting to the situation. Thanks for that.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life everything from a loyal German Shepherd to an energetic Lab, a playful Pit Bull, and even a Basenji. I’ve always connected especially well with larger, high energy dogs, and I genuinely love going on long walks with them. Whether it’s a calm drop-in or an active adventure, I tailor the care to your dog’s needs. I’ve helped care for pets through drop-in visits, walks, and extended in-home stays. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, responsive, and always keep you in the loop with photos and updates. If your dog needs exercise, attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away I’ve got you covered! I currently have a full time job and the time varies when I have my shift. Typically I work earlier in the morning so I would have plenty of time to walk and check up on your dog after I am done with my shift. If I do have a later shift in the day I am a morning person so I would be more than happy to also do the same with walking or checking up early in the morning. I am very good with dogs in the home and do not get easily frightened with any dog if they are a little hostile. I would not be able to do anything at my own home but rest assured anything with your own home I will take great care of your dog in the home.
“Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been helping taking care of animals since I was about 10. I love animals so much and wish I could save and keep every single one. I like all kinds, including rodents and reptiles along with all your basic house pets. I going to school fully online and because of that I am able to take care of your pets anytime and even on short notice. I am happy to take care of your pets exactly as you request. If they go on walks, to parks, need medicine, or need special attention or care I’m happy to provide your pets with all of their needs.
“Taylor is an incredible sitter with more than plenty of updates daily and tons a great photos of our buddy! Highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and reliable person!”
“Absolutely Amazing!! Will definitely only be hiring her again to watch ANY AND ALL of my dogs when we need any sort of care. She was extremely thorough. I have a senior dog, a “special needs dog”- epileptic but young and playful, AND A a dog under two years old. They are well mannered but we have a care routine that she followed so thoroughly that made me relaxed as a worried pet mom. Thank you so much!!”
About: I’ve taken care many dogs. I’ve had to admister meds, give insulin shots. I’ve dog walked and take care of multi dog households. I grew up with animals and packs of dogs. I work full time and can do drop in visits between cleaning houses. I can stay overnight and care in the morning. Weekends are pretty open. I can crate, do any special requests you may have. I can walk in a leash or anything else you want done. I will make sure they are safe.
About: We have had animals ever since I was a kid!! We have dogs, cats, ferrets, and hamsters!! If you need any additional animals taken care I am sure it will not be an issue. I work nights so if you need over nights I can do Sunday into Monday or Monday into Tuesday or both. My one dog has seizures so I'm used to giving him medicine and calming him down when it happens. I work nights so I'm free during the day all week long. Unfortunately for overnights it would be Sunday into Monday, Monday into Tuesday or both! Since we have dogs and cats I would prefer to come to you guys! We have a fenced in yard so I'm used to invisible fences but I would be more than happy to sit outside with your pets!
“Alex was an excellent house and dog sitter! He was available last minute, as we had flights booked for the next morning, and made time to come and meet our dogs right away. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Alex went beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to using him in the future.”
About: Any time a friend or a neighbor goes out of town or needs help, I'm the first one they call. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met! I love working with all ages. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: I'm currently working a 9-5, but looking for something to keep me busy before and after work! (and weekends when I'm off work as well) I'm very passionate about working with animals I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch!
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.
About: I have taken in many strays since I was young and have cared for them until they found a loving home. I have three dogs who love to exercise, go for walks, and lounge around while cuddling. If you let me, I would love to do the same for your loved one! I am looking to care as much as I can while I am in PA school. I plan to continue when I graduate to give myself a break from real people. I love all fur babies! As a PA student my rotations change monthly and we get randoms days off. If i can fill my time with caring for your baby with no distraction I will. I have fenced in yard for fur babies to roam around, I also have two dogs that can keep them company but can be crated if needed.
“Alisa did a fantastic job house sitting our two dogs over the week of Christmas, and was very understanding and flexible when a family emergency require us to extend our time away. We were worried how our Irish Wolfhound who's skiddish with strangers would do, but Alisa handled him amazingly and put our concerns to rest. She even had the house looking like we never left and washed the bedding and dirty towels (from muddy dogs) before she left.”

Grand River pet parents share their Rover experiences
Can’t recommend Ellie enough! We have a dog that is a little rough around the edges (ok, a lot rough). Ellie took the time to slowly introduce herself to him, working to gain his trust. By the end of the week, I was getting photos of them snuggled up together! She sent lots of videos and pictures and was always reachable when needed. We will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future
Cora did such a wonderful job caring for our dog! She is perhaps the most communicative Rover we’ve ever hired. She asked great questions, made sure to spend time getting to know our dog, learn all the routines, and ensure all was running smoothly. All directions were followed to a T, and we came home to a happy dog and clean home. Couldn’t be happier to recommend Cora to watch other animals!
