“Erin was great! Thank you so much for the many pics of Cheeto and Frito! Seeing how happy they were gave me such peace of mind. I could tell they were very well taken care of. Thanks, Erin for your services! Cheeto and Frito have a new friend. I will definitely call Erin again!”


“Lauren was fantastic with my fur babies. I am sure the dogs were happy to have a new caring and loving friend. She came to meet the dogs before hand to make sure they were comfortable with her during the drop off visits. She send daily photo reports of them and always responded fast if I had any question. Thanks Lauren”

“Erin is very kind and loving with our dog. She is respectful of our home, punctual and communicative during her visits with photos and updates. I have requested her several times for drop ins and would definitely recommend her. She deserves the 5 star rating!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Felisha was amazing. My cats generally hide from everyone and one of them was out and interacting with her each time she came. She took amazing photos and left great check-in notes. She also was not phased by my last minute request to administer medication due to finding out my cat required a few weeks of antibiotics only a few days before we left. Would recommend Felisha to everyone and will definitely hire her again!”

About: I am experienced in taking care of dogs including those with high needs that require medications and puppies as young as 3 months. I have had wonderful experience with walking, boarding and overnight stays over weekends. I am very engaging when I care for dogs, always making sure they get plenty of play and exercise if they are physically able, and I enjoy incorporating some basic training as a part of that play. I am sensitive to different needs of each dog and I socially accommodate for each of their needs. I am a very patient and warm caretaker. I build my schedule around my responsibilities and planned pet care but I typically wake up around 7am and go to sleep around midnight. I am used to frequent outings for dogs because I raised mine from when he was very young and he needed to go out about every hour. I have learned to be very patient and read signs of discomfort and needs in order to keep all animals safe, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have close access to a secluded dog park and beautiful green spaces in a very walkable neighborhood. If I am watching a dog in a new area, I always look for similar spaces where dogs can safely engage with their environment. Within the home, I like to combine toys and training to get the most out of my time there. I am very affectionate towards cats and will help them get their daily activity in. I know some cats are nervous and need their space, and I can always accommodate for their individual needs.
“Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.”

“Emily did an amazing job watching my two cats! She gave thorough and fun updates and I knew my kitties were safe and having fun. My cats as specific diets and she was great with them and was communicative throughout”

“AWESOME!! This was the first time we "left" our dogs behind when we went away. Tatiana was great! Having daily updates made us less anxious about leaving them. Now, I'm planning more get-a-ways ? Thanks, Tatiana, for a wonderful experience!!”


“Nicole is the pet sitter we have been searching for. She genuinely cares for our two cats and always gives them 100% attention during the drop-in visits. Our furbabies are very well taken care of and happy. They have fun with her and trust her as well. Nicole also takes such cute pictures and many of them, making the time away from our cats easier.”

“Angela is amazing. This was our first time using Rover AND we have a new dog, so we’re a little nervous about it all. She is so sweet and responsive to our questions. Communicative, reassuring and just overall a great person that we felt comfortable with right away. Highly recommend!”

“Melanie was very attentive to our two cats while we were gone on an extended vacation. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she shared of the time she spent with them.”

Independence Township cat parents share their Rover experiences
Our experience with having Ashley watch our cats while we were on our honeymoon, was nothing short of perfect. She made sure to ask questions about our little guys, including their preferences, their favorite toys and ways to best interact with them, and what really made us feel like she was the right choice, was she made it a priority to do whatever she could to ensure we felt comfortable. She knew our little guy Ralphie, (a very sensitive and socially needy pandemic kitten) was a concern for us when we were gone, because he really needs lots of love and attention, and she sent daily updates along with photos of both boys, and videos of playtime. We felt so at ease knowing she was there with them, and focusing on doing whatever they needed, and it really gave us the opportunity to relax, knowing our little guys were happy at home. We cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% reach out to Ashley the next time we need to go out of town. She was an absolute delight and we are so grateful to have found her!

We've never used a pet app but now we're sold thanks to Kira. She is prompt, professional. and detailed with her visit updates. Most importantly, she is so super friendly with our sweet kitty. If you're wondering who to hire to care for your pet - this is your sign - book Kira!!
