About: I am a work from home dog lover with extensive experience with dogs of all sizes (from yorkies to an Irish Wolfhound). I have taken care of everything from ancient golden retrievers that refused to take their pills and cats who needed insulin - and would love to take some of the stress out of your travels by taking care of your fur baby! I am PetTech First Aid/CPR certified. I work from home full time - so I will be home with your pet most of the day! I have two dogs and two cats of my own that keep me on a solid schedule. My pets are fed breakfast before work, they sleep in my office while I work, lunchtime walks, and more naps during the afternoon. I have a small fenced in yard, two friendly dogs (and two cats), and live near a park that we walk to on a regular basis. Your dog will be with me in my office (crate available if needed) while I work and will be left alone for a few hours per day.

“Mr Bear is an old grumpy dog who doesn’t take change easily. I was worried how he would adapt to strange people in a strange place. I didn’t need to worry. Via the pictures Sarah sent in a daily basis, he was sitting in the bed, getting along everyone even the dog. I was impressed by the love and care Mr Bear got. Will definitely use her again.”

“This was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!”

“Our dogs are always perfectly cared for when they stay with JoAnn. It is such a relief to be able to trust someone to care for them as we would.”

“Montana and her family took excellent care of Clover. They even went above and beyond giving her a bath and a good brushing. I loved the photos and updates she sent throughout my vacation. That gave me peace of mind and comfort seeing she was getting along so well. I appreciate the care and love they gave . I would definitely recommend Montana for pet care.”

“I was very comfortable with leaving Mickey with her. She was excellent with his care and developed a relationship with him that I can depend on her for future trips.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort cues so I can provide care that truly fits the individual animal. I’m especially patient with young pets, reinforcing basic training like routine consistency, positive behavior encouragement, and structured play to help them build good habits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m already someone who plans my day around consistency and responsibility. I structure my mornings and evenings to allow time for feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and checking in on overall behavior and mood. Throughout the day, I make space for playtime, enrichment, or simply providing companionship—because I know attention and interaction are just as important as basic care. On a weekly basis, I build in time for deeper cleaning, grooming if needed, and restocking supplies. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in” last minute—it’s something I intentionally prioritize as part of a steady, organized routine. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, structured environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow their regular feeding schedule, maintain clean water and litter areas, and make sure they have a quiet space to relax. I also provide daily playtime and enrichment based on their personality—whether that’s interactive toys, brushing, or simply giving them attention and companionship. I monitor their behavior closely to ensure they’re eating well, staying active, and showing no signs of stress.

“I was worried about leaving my small dog Faith alone with a stranger for a week. Faith was scared at first but soon after I left I was sent a photo of Faith warming up to Rebecca. Then a couple photos everyday showing how Faith was enjoying her time there. Really put my mind at ease. Definitely would recommend and leave Faith with Rebecca again.”

About: Hi! I’m Jeff I currently have 8yo black/white male Husky named Thorik and a 5yo red/white female Husky named Willow. Willow is actually my sisters dog and stays with her, but her and Thorik are together every day out at our family’s place. They are both well balanced dogs and will get along with anyone who decides to come for a visit. They will kiss you to death though so be prepared! I live on my family’s 180 acre old farm in the country just outside of the Otsego/Alamo area. I am out there every single day, especially in the Summer months, so that Thorik has a safe place to play and swim if he wants. Should you decide to book with me, and with your permission, your pets can enjoy unlimited fenced in yard time along with as much swimming as they’d like! I currently work for a Petcare provider here in Kalamazoo. My week consist of multiple visits for multiple clients a day, this does however allow me plenty of time throughout the day to return home and take care of anything I need to, your pets included! Out at the farm I do have a fenced in backyard away from the road that provides the dogs, a safe, secure place to play. Any time the dogs are not outside playing, or they are at my apartment in the evenings, they are inside the house with me free to do as they please.

“Ashtyn is very nice and Bimmer seemed to really enjoy her and her dog Gus. I was provided with pics/videos when we were away and communication was awesome! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.

“Natasha was very accommodating to our travel delays. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Natasha is our #1 dog sitter. If you're wondering which Rover to book, you'll be so happy if you choose Natasha.”

“Brendan did a fantastic job of taking care of my two pooches! He took them on walks, fed them according to schedule, and gave Reign her medication in a timely manner. I will be definitely using Brendan again.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since the age of 8 and currently have two dogs. Experience sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I can watch your dog in your home or in mine. I do allow my dogs on the furniture but will make sure they stay off if that is preferred. I will stay in communication while you are away and send photos and updates throughout. Id also like to meet ahead of time to make sure I know the needs or your pet(s). I also have experience taking care of cats in my friends home the past three years. I have two dogs and pet care is a big part of my life. Working full time Monday-Thursday I always make time to care for their needs. I am available to dog sit Fridays-Sunday'. My dogs love to play with their toys and get their zoomies out in the evening. At my apartment I have 2 leads that my dogs use easily. My location also sits next to a nature preserve that they love. I also take the dogs on walks or to the dog park to burn off energy and have fun depending on preference. Plus all the dog snuggles possible. :)

“Kim took such great care of our pup! We got sweet updates and pictures everyday. We could tell he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”

About: I have been around dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with puppies and dogs of every size! I have dog sat for many people in the past, and I always treat them like my own little family members. I am currently working, and in my Master’s program, but I would be available every day at some point to be able to spend time with your fur baby! Most of my classes are online, so it’s the perfect mix to be able to give your pet the attention they deserve. I live on 26 acres with two friendly dogs (lab mixes). We also have a fenced in area if you feel more comfortable with that! Both of my dogs get multiple walks every single day, and they get to run around and explore the woods (on/off leash, depending on what you prefer). If comfortable, I would love to take your dog/s for as many walks as they like!

About: Hi! I’ve spent all my life surrounded by animals, dogs and cats have always played a huge role in my life. I have two cats of my own, back on the mainland for now, and three dogs! Over the years, I’ve helped care for animals of all sizes and personalities. I enjoy taking them on walks, going to the beach, playing time, and snuggles! I know all there is to know to make a happy puppy. Being away from my own pets has only deepened my appreciation for how special that bond is. I’d be able to give your pets not just the same love I cater to my own, but more! Trust assured your dogs will be asking to see me again! I work at an ice cream shop part time for now, while I have online college courses. That allows majority of my time to you and your pets! Whether you need someone last minute, or you’re planning a trip somewhere, I will try my best to work on your time. I live in a house with a yard with plenty of space for out door play time and indoor snuggles! See you soon! I live in a loving home with my girlfriend and I, not only will your pets be receiving love from me, but also another animal loving professional! I have plenty of yard space to potty and play and and my house if very pet friendly kind of on the smaller side but spacious.
