About: I’ve had several pets and worked with livestock over the years. Pepper was our family pet, a Border Collie I trained as a puppy. I cared for Murdoc, a 50lb German Shepherd mix, into his senior years. In 2017, I rescued Circe, a pint-sized black cat, and in 2021, Joey, my sweet senior beagle boy. I feel like I’ve done it all: thorns in the paw, administering meds, emergencies, play time, treat time, training, long walks, car rides, cleaning messes, and more! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I do venture out sometimes, but keep it to four hours maximum. I'm more of a night owl, so I prefer drop-offs after 10am and can accommodate pickups as late as 1:30am. If you need to arrange a drop-off earlier than 10am, need to book without two weeks notice, or I’m unavailable at the start or end of your booking, feel free to message me—I'm happy to see if we can work something out. I only book one dog at a time through Rover. However, I may also be caring for additional dogs through my LLC. If you're booking with me for the first time on Rover, please note that there may be other dogs in my home, other than my own, during your pet’s stay. These dogs are not new to my home—they’re regulars who have been properly vetted and are low- to medium-energy. Your pet is my priority ✨ I am attentive to details, so when a new furry friend comes over, I keep a close watch on how they're adjusting to their new temporary environment. I'm excellent at picking up on even the smallest signs they give off and base my care accordingly to ensure they're feeling comfy right from the start. I have a dog and cat at home and will care for your pet as though it were part of the fam! I have advanced education in communication, so I strive to be transparent about what is going on with your pet, and I expect the same from you before booking. Every pet has quirks, whether your pup needs lots of cuddles or some space to chill, I make it my mission to ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and like they're on vacation during their stay!

“Burton had another fun and energy burning day with Sari, Loren, their kids and dog Milo! Burton was so excited to see them again that as soon as he got out of the car, he just bolted straight to their front door with excitement. Will for sure be making this a weekly event! Last time Burton was there, he was pooped for two days. Nice to have a little break after I come from work and Burton has already had his exercise for the day. I mean, I think my dog is adorable and lovable, but can tell this family thinks so too.”



“Kathy accomodated a short notice request with a very early drop off time. Our pup was tired when she got home which tells us she was busy and had fun. We will definitely return to Kathy!”


“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”

To me, pets are family, and I’m dedicated to treating them with the same love and respect they deserve. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine.

About: Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me, dogs and cats aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing/saving animals in need of a home. It’s something that she passed down to me. RIP Momma I Miss You! ❤️🩹 My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. I just recently lost our two oldest rescues dogs named Romeo and our Wheaton Terrier named Hayley. Oh and let us not forget our very outspoken Torti cat named Nala whom we loved dearly. So we rescued our beautiful cat Bella and most recently a sweet 4 month old puppy named Nova. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I am flexible and I am open to helping when & where I’m needed. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously that I will happily provide. Exercise is important to me so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻 I am currently self-employed so I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your furbaby/furbabies. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels loved and accepted in our home. I have two friendly dogs who will give your furbaby lots of playtime fun. We teach tricks and go for daily walks, play fetch, and support lots of playtime. Daily snuggles and love are a must!!

“Always easy leaving Junebug with Elliot and Jenna, she is always happy there. Excellent care! Thank you as always!”

“My separation anxiety-prone husky was in wonderful hands with Heidi and her family. She sent me tons of photos of my baby snuggling on the couch, playing with her beagles, and getting snuggles from the kids. My pup went to her two days in a row and seemed totally content to be dropped off the next day. I couldn't ask for anything more!”


About: Hello, my name is Kat, and I am an MFA graduate in poetry from the University of Maryland, but I'm originally from the Bay City / Saginaw area. I am a current PhD student in poetry at Western Michigan University where I also teach English Composition 101. I live in/nearby the Vine neighborhood close by downtown with access to neighborhood walking and nearby dog parks. I'm also happy to take your doggy for a field trip to their favorite dog park or nature trail! I often walk up to 4 miles a day, so I look forward to bringing your dog along for some of the adventure! I am available to feed animals, take care of potty business, provide play time, take them to the park, give them love, brush/groom (with instruction if needed), and give medications depending on your dog's temperament (instructions needed). I may be available for additional services depending on the request / depending on the animal. Cats are my favorite animal and as a lifetime owner of cats, I am often able to work with all of their different personalities and love them for it! Here to provide pets, play time, food, and clean up fur balls, and litter boxes, etc. I can help with medications, too, depending on your cat's temperament (instructions needed!) As a grad student, I have pretty flexible hours during the school year, only teaching one class and then taking classes. We can communicate nuances in my schedule when the time comes, but generally, I have room to maneuver. I am available for Meet and Greets: In person Meet and Greets are welcomed and preferred! FaceTime or online meetings are welcomed, too, to discuss specific expectations or specific details about your pet(s) before services. I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and I've always found animals to be a source of comfort. I believe interacting with animals through walks and nurture is a way to repay the comfort and happiness animals give us, and I look forward to creating a bond with your pet(s) that can be beneficial for them both physically and mentally. Thank you for your interest and consideration! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! -Kat As a grad student who only teaches one class a semester, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule allowing me to spoil your pet with plenty of drop ins, walks, or longer visits. I do, however, have my own cat, so I won't be able to do more than three nights away from my home at a time and I will need to be able to return to my home at some point everyday to take care of her and spend at least 2 hours with her, but I will still have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! Small dogs are welcome in my home! This fall I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00 am-12:15 pm and have office hours until 1:30 on those days as well. On Wednesdays I have class 6:30-9 pm. My independent studies will create other small nuances in my schedule which may be subject to change, so we can discuss. As a past owner of a skittish, black cat, I'm really good with all cat / animal personalities and have gained patience and intuition in respecting individual animal boundaries and creating trust, and eventually a unique bond. I live on the second floor of an apartment house and have a large balcony for fresh air away from direct traffic and foot-traffic to allow your dog some relaxing outdoor time. I am also an avid walker, often walking 4 miles a day and can guarantee I'll be able to keep your dog under control and engaged.

About: I used to work as a vet tech while getting my undergraduate degree in animal science. I spent a full summer running my own doggy daycare and have worked in boarding facilities as well. I have experience grooming, giving medication, and plenty of experience with loving on animals!! My home has two dogs who love to snuggle and play, and I would love to care for your pet too! I am working from home currently, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I set my own schedule, so I can have flexibility with pick-up/drop-off. I have a giant crate (big enough for a great dane) and a small one (big enough for a beagle), but I also don’t mind uncrated dogs. My two dogs will be crated separately when I am not home, unless owner requests their dog have a buddy. Dogs are allowed on furniture and can sleep in the bed if that’s their norm. I have a large fenced in yard.

“A dog friendly house and yard ... And a playful friend dog! Our high energy Setter had a great time at her dog play date.”


“Sarah was so great with our boy. He came home exhausted and happy! She was so helpful when we were looking for a last minute sitter and sent updates while we were gone. We would definitely book with her again!”


“Was a last minute booking and she was able to watch Mason for us and took great care of him. Would definitely use her again!”


About: I am used to dealing with cats and dogs of all sizes and nature. I have pet sat and house sat for friends and family. I have a free weekly schedule with lots of flexibility. I am available to any strange hours or days. I love animals and make time. I am always respectful of each houses rule and maintain boundaries with the animals without being harsh. Always clean after myself and never leave a mess.

“Melissa and her daughter are such great dog sitters. I’m so thankful to have found them via Rover. My 1 year old German Shepherd comes home exhausted at the end of the day! I look forward to many future visits to them!”


About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals—from my grandma in Tennessee who cared for a wolf and multiple cats, to my cousin who has had countless dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. Growing up in such a loving, animal-filled environment shaped my passion and deep understanding of pets. Since I was 5, I’ve cared for various pets—hermit crabs, a black-and-white cat named Sammy when I was 6, a Black Labrador at 8, a parrot at 10, and more dogs through my teenage years. At 18, I took care of my uncle’s dog as well. I’ve also read hundreds of books about dogs, cats, and parrots to better understand their behavior and needs. My favorite animals are dogs, parrots, and ferrets, and I bring genuine love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Since I’m home every day and my classes are online, I have a flexible schedule and am available 24/7 to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I’m always here to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. Whether at my place or a client's home, pet care involves ensuring their well-being. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, administering medications (if needed), cleaning litter boxes or taking them for potty breaks, playtime and walks for exercise, and plenty of love and attention to keep them happy and healthy. For overnight stays, I also provide comfortable sleeping arrangements and monitor them throughout the night.

“I left my dog with Kay for 6 days and was really happy with the care provided. She kept me updated every day with pictures and messages which was super reassuring.

“I would trust Christina in all aspects of my dog care needs. From home sitting, walking, to boarding and everything in between. I have two dogs who are on the opposite ends of the age spectrum. Brooke is 10 years old and Ellie was 9 months when Christina was walking them. She was able to give both dogs the attention and specific care they needed for their ages. She walked my dogs 6 days a week from the office I worked at, and my dogs absolutely adored their time with her. She was always very punctual, upbeat, and so so loving towards my babies. I got sent tons of pictures from their walks and play time too! She truly cares and loves what she does and it really reflects in the care my dogs received from her. If I'm ever in the area again she will be the person I go back to!”
