About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!

About: I have been a pet lover since the age of 4. I am animal CPR certified and some training experience. I feel confident in senior care and palliative care for your loved one. I also have puppy experience with training and care. I currently teach high school and am available 3:00pm into the evenings. On the weekends I am available anytime to care for your loved one. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard and a covered pool. My home is conducive to playing on one level that leads outside to the backyard.

“Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I currently work at a dog daycare, where I regularly handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and closely monitoring behavior to keep every dog safe and comfortable. I’ve also administered medications and given insulin shots to dogs, so I’m confident caring for pets with special needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for currently work part-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine. I work mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, which leaves me available in the afternoons and evenings on those days. I’m also available most weekends, and I’m working toward having an even more flexible schedule soon. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and consistency I prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. While I can offer care in my home when needed, I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments through my work at a dog daycare, and I always supervise interactions closely and follow each dog’s routine. I’m also comfortable with crating if needed and have experience administering medications, including injections

From a young age I have really connected with dogs and will provide great care and love to each one I am looking after.

I hope to provide excellent service and continue to improve in this exciting new opportunity. Thank you.
About: For over 10 years I've been involed with pet care, primarily in the form of Trap Neuter Release (TNR) for backyard litters of kittens and the caring that came along with it; bottle feeding, medication schedules and rehoming. In additon, I have had animals of all kinds throughout childhood including hamsters, birds, dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I have dealt with everything from puppy stages, kitten care, rabbit care, to senior dogs with disabilities. I got my own dog almost three years ago, a rescue from an abusive home, in addition to the family pets. She has taught me so much on caring for animals that need extra patience or time with others. Currently home from college which offers a flexible schedule and plenty of time dedicated to your little friends! I’m available throughout the week for feedings, walks, playtime, drop-ins, or all-day sitting. I prioritize the pet’s comfortability with me, making sure they feel safe and calm. I follow any and all directions given by owners to ensure our little friend's routine is upkept and uninterupted. I love to take the time to build trust through gentle interaction and patience, especially with the skiddish ones (my own included). Furthermore, I am always prepared to respond calmly and responsibly in case of any emergencies.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet lover with experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets through drop-in visits, dog walks, senior pet care and overnights. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, medication reminders, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite parts of pet care is seeing the excitement on a dog’s face when I walk through the door. Building trust and creating a positive experience for every pet is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon! 🤍 I currently am working part time at my job, but I old love to spend my mornings/afternoons taking care of your pets!

They love being outdoors so we can play. I am willing to accommodate any type of service your pets need!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Howell
Yesterday was our first day with Dana. I received updates and photos and was so comforted knowing our Belle would have a drop in visit. She came prior to our first visit to meet Belle- learn her routines and get Belle acclimated. Dana knew this was my first time using Rover so she stopped by one more time - and Belle remembered her right away. Very happy with our match!!
Catherine was absolutely amazing! Our dog is shy and sometime anxious around strangers but she ran to Catherine during the initial visit. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and updates every time she dropped in for a visit. She even offered to bring in the mail and kept some of our plants alive. I would definitely recommend her! This was the best experience and I felt completely at ease.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Howell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
