“Audrey did great and worked with us to make sure she could sit our two dogs on only a couple days' notice over a holiday weekend. The dogs were happy when we returned, and the house was as clean as when we left. We would definitely hire Audrey again!”
“Rodney was absolutely great with our dogs/cat! Received LOTS of great pictures of all our fur-babies while we were gone, and he went above and beyond taking care of our house and daily chores (which he absolutely did not have to do, but we came home to that surprise!). Would absolutely rebook him again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take care of your pets!”
About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). On Saturdays and Sundays I'll be available from 3 pm-8 pm. If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I currently own a cat, Higgins, who is a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I've been in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He's also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving him a pill. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.
“Wonderful! We had a long trip where we had NO service and Ellen was still sending updates and photos. We had no issues. Our house was in the same condition we left it in. Our boys can be a handful and Ellen handled them beautifully. Definitely will be rebooking!!”
“Words can not describe how well not only my two dogs but my house was taken care of when I left. I already have anxiety leaving my girls but he always answers his phone and is very attentive. Can not recommend him enough. Very professional and I came home to happy and exhausted pups. Thanks Kent.”
“Lauren is great! Our pets warmed up to her right away at the meet and greet, she was on time, and she sent me lots of updates. It's so nice to be able to get away while knowing my babies are in good hands! Thank you Lauren!!”
“Heather is an absolute gem and after how well she did we will be using her for all of our future pet care needs. When we met her our dogs immediately loved her and so did we. She is easy to talk to and had no problem accommodating our dogs special needs. We were gone for about a week and during that time I got consistent updates and photos of our animals. Whenever I messaged her to check on them she was immediately responsive. She left our house just the way she found it and our animals were all very loved and well cared for. I know it is always scary leaving your animals in the care of someone you don't know but we trusted our gut on Heather and we are so glad we did.”
About: I’ve done dog sitting and other pet sitting before for a few years now. If a family member or close friend ever needs something I’m the one to call. I’m a self employed hairstylist so I get to make my own schedule and be my own boss. I’m flexible and always love new animals. I have a dog and two cats. Each with ranging unique personalities. I enjoy loving them in the way each of them needs to be loved and cared for.
“Libby was fantastic with our fur babies..I am so happy we found her and will definitely be asking for help again. She updated us regularly and we felt we left our home and pets in good hands!”
“We started our experience with Evan with a 10 day house-sitting. Our two dogs warmed up to him right away in the meet-and-greet. He even has experience with epileptic dogs such as ours, so that was reassuring. Evan also was responsive to each dog's quirks. When we returned, the house was found as good as we left it. We'll be reaching out to Evan for future arrangements.”
“So happy to have met Anne through Rover. She is a very kind and caring person. It’s obvious that she enjoys what she does and truly cares about animals. She sent great pictures and kept us appraised of how things were going. When we got home the house was in perfect condition. It was a great experience!”
About: Have been around dogs since I was born. Enjoy spending time playing fetch and taking them for long walks and giving treats out for great behavior! I currently work at U of M hospital and have a work schedule that my hours fluctuates from week to week. Some shifts are 6:30am-3pm, 2pm-10pm, 8:30am-5pm. I do have weekends open and available. I do not have a fenced in yard and would stay at your house or pick up your dog to take them for walks or visit and play with them at your house.
“Kristy is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well cared for when we are away. I never have to worry Kristy is with our dogs. She is quick to respond and sends updates throughout her stay. Our dogs are thrilled to see her and enjoy her company. It’s comforting knowing I have someone who truly cares for my pets when I am gone.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, where I learned the responsibility and care that goes into each individual pup! I recently worked for Boston Dog Butlers in Boston, and have moved home for the summer! I’ve been trained on all sizes, different breeds and different needs of dogs all while putting their safety first! I recently moved back to Michigan for the summer and picked Rover back up before I move to Europe in a few months! I have all weekday and weekend availability! I have dog sat many of times with a mix of routines— I feel comfortable having the dogs out and about, but can also crate them if necessary! I make sure all food and cherished items are out of reach, and I make sure to actually be with the dogs so they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t!
About: I have a huge passion and love for all animals! I have my own small dog, who’s my whole world. He’s 5 years old and does everything with me. I have volunteered at vet offices and love helping and being around animals whenever I can. I love helping others and being able to provide and assist people to make their lives easier. I’m currently working in home care and have a very flexible schedule. I also enjoy jogging with dogs too. I will love your animals just as much as my own! I make my own schedule each day for work so I can be available for you and your pet! I would love to help make anything easier for you. I love all animals as my own! I feed them when they need to be, keep their environment clean, and exercises them as needed 😊
About: I’m Kourtni! I’m looking for a part time commitment taking care of your pet! I am new to Rover but I frequently watch friends pets. My whole life, animals have loved me. They’ve always preferred me over others. I’m great with dogs, cats, and small animals. I live in a manufactured home park, so I frequently can take your pet on walks and by the river with little to no traffic. I stock up on treats. I can administer medication to your pet. I’m not claiming to know everything there is to know about animals, all I know is I love them and care for them well and they love me! If you think I’d be a good fit for your animal please get ahold of me. :) As of 12/27/22: I am now only taking house sitting clients that are okay with me bringing my pet as well. He is potty trained, listens very well and has never been around a dog he doesn’t like. I’m an independent contractor and run my own small business, so I make my own schedule with my typical work life. Therefore, I can usually work around different schedules depending on every animals different needs. My pet is alone usually around 6 hours per day. I usually give him some snacks to keep him occupied. I do not have a fenced yard currently but hoping to at some point. Living in a park, I keep my dog on a 40 ft in ground leash, but while dog sitting I usually take the other dogs out on their walk leash.
About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then there is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I have watched them a few times and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. He has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve had pets in the house my whole life—from small dogs and cats to large breeds. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me for safe, loving, and dependable care every time. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I am available during the week and weekends! I prefer to watch pets in your home but can offer care in my home. I have 3 acres of land and a dog of my own.

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and calm, Ariana goes above and beyond. She’s dependable, communicates well, and always makes sure our pets are happy, healthy, and loved. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry family members.”

She sent great pictures and kept us appraised of how things were going. When we got home the house was in perfect condition. It was a great experience!”
Morgan H.
“I’ve seen firsthand just how amazing she is with animals. She doesn’t just “watch” your pets, she connects with them. She’s the type of person who gets down on the floor to play, pays attention to the little quirks that make each animal unique, and genuinely enjoys their company. She’s incredibly patient, dependable, and she always seems to anticipate what my dogs might need before they even need it. She’s watched my dogs countless times, and each time they act like she’s their favorite person on Earth! Whether it’s going for a long walk, cleaning up a mess without blinking, or just sitting with them when they need company, she’s all in. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave any of my dogs in her care and that’s saying a lot coming from a slightly overprotective dog mom. Now, if my dog could leave a review, it’d probably go something like this: “10/10 would recommend. She gives the best belly rubs and kisses, calls me cute even with eye boogers and bedhead, and lets me sniff the same patch of grass as long as I need. Legend.””
