“Jess was such a wonderful pet sitter. From the first time I requested a meet and greet she was incredibly responsive. She was so patient with our skittish pup and very understanding when we had to reschedule when my daughter got sick. She went above and beyond making sure the dogs and house were well taken care of. All her efforts were noticed and very much appreciated. Thanks again Jess!”



“Elena S. is wonderful! We just started using Rover for the first time a few weeks ago and I was a little hesitant about hiring someone we didn't know to walk our dog, but we lucked out with Elena. She took time to come and meet us beforehand and was so nice! She walks our dog 3-5 times per week and always sends us photos from their walks. And, most importantly, our dog loves her! It brings a lot of peace of mind to know our dog is in good hands while we're at work.”


“Olivia was wonderful. She took the time to give extra care for fur baby. I can tell he was happy, and really liked her. My dog is a very great judge of character. She followed directions perfectly, was very kind and communicated well. This was my first time using the service and her reassurance put me at ease. Definitely recommend her.”


“Leaha did a great job communicating with me while we were out of town and also made arrrangements with a family member go smoothly. Max enjoyed his walks and I would definitely use her again.”


“Brittany is very reliable, patient, and good with my dog. We always appreciate when she can squeeze time in her schedule for us. She takes extra precaution and care making sure Harley is comfortable and safe and her little acts of care go such a long way! We highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their loved ones 😊”


“Lauren did an amazing job with my pup Robin! She was so gentle and attentive with Robin. Lauren took the time to make Robin feel so comfortable before they took off on their walk. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone that is looking for a kind and nice person to take care of their pets!”


About: One experience I had was taking care of an elderly dog. This lasted a week long, and I visited them three times a day- once in the morning, afternoon, and at night before bed. I'd make sure they had food and water as requested, and take them on walks in the morning. Sometimes, between bed time and the morning, this elderly dog had a few accidents. I notified the owner when this happened, and how I cleaned it up. I of course was not upset at the dog, I felt bad the poor aging dog had the issues it had, let the dog know it's okay, and proceeded as the owner instructed. Another time I had taken care of a dog with stomach issues over the course of a week. This involved staying overnight. I fed the dog as per instructions given, for amounts and varying types of food. This dog had accidents of it's own, and I felt bad for the animal once more. Again, I'd clean up the mess and let the owner know about it and how I handled it, and make any new dietary adjustments to try to fix the problem, while letting the dog know it's okay and I don't blame him. I'm currently studying in an effort to eventually get a degree in Cybersecurity, but I have a bit of free time this summer and I'm trying to both stay physically active and keep myself busy. I have an online class this summer and I'm studying for some certifications but those are relatively flexible time-wise. I can crate your dog if needed. I am good with animals, making sure they're happy and knowing their behaviors. I am patient and understanding to animals with special conditions.

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”


About: I've had dogs and taken care of dogs all of my life as well as I've worked at a doggy daycare for the last 3 years now and can provide the proper care your furry friend's needs. I work two jobs now but i can be home and visit your pet multiple times throughout the day. no dog too big or too small My family home has a few acres of land and plenty of space to explore. I have my own space in the basement which can allow some privacy for your pet and can be crated if needed. My home also has 4 dogs of our own. Visiting your home and taking care of your pet is always an option and very easy going on what needs to be done in order to give the best experience

About: I have no pets of my own and only board pets from one family at a time. (Or for less stress for all, I’m happy to take care of your pets in your home.) Your fur baby will have my full attention 24/7. Neighbors, Rover customers, friends, family, and animal shelters have relied on me to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, train and give loving care to a wide variety of animals over the years. All give me glowing praise and recommendations. Most importantly, I love doing it and taking care of pets is the highlight of my day. I am retired so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I am willing to take on any job - big or small. I live on the west edge of Fenton Township (convenient to Hwy 23) but drive to downtown Fenton often. So jobs in Linden and Fenton are both convenient. No job + no pets + no small children = no distractions. I’ll give your pet attention 24/7. Partially fenced yard and quiet street with only 12 homes for peaceful, leashed walks. Nearby trails and parks for longer adventures and daily exercise/exploring/socialization. I have a stake with a 25 foot lead for relaxing in my backyard (25 ft radius = 50 ft diameter) and watching nature and interesting activity on the lake. We can swim or wade in my lake if you approve. Or just have fun watching the fish and waves from the beach or dock. I’m happy to give a quick bath with puppy shampoo after the lake if you approve. I’m retired. Your pet will get my attention 24/7. And my husband is also retired, so usually there are two of us doting on our guests. I’ll listen carefully to your instructions and follow them all. If I ever have any questions or notice any odd behavior or health issues, I notify the owner immediately. Lots of people tell me that I’m a “dog whisperer”. I agree that I have a sixth sense for knowing how a pet is feeling and trying lots of different tactics to keep them happy and healthy. Unfortunately, I frequently fall in love with my guests. It’s always bittersweet when they leave because it’s sad to see them go, but they are always so very, very happy when their owner returns.

About: Retired from Hewlett Packard (HP) and have lots of time to spend with your furry friend. I have a dog and we take multiple walks each day, weather permitting. With years of experience raising cats and dogs, you can feel confident that your fur baby(s) will be well taken care of. I have rejoined the work force and work from home so I can drop in mornings and late afternoons for feeding, walks and snuggles. There are times I could drop in during my lunch hour as well. No overnight stays at my home as I do not have a fenced in yard. I also have a dog, Lacee Loo, who is high anxiety and is not welcoming to other animals inside her home. I am also not available for overnight stays at your home as I would need to find care for Lacee. However, I can make myself available to drop in each day/evening as often as is needed.

“Always so willing to accommodate to my schedule, and my dog loves her! She’s starting to recognize the sound of her car and gets so excited when she’s pulling into the driveway :-) she always needs a long nap after her walks.”


About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs/cats of all ages and sizes throughout my life-I’ve even had the beautiful experience of assisting a momma Cane Corso birth her babies! Our animals are like our children-they need and deserve every bit of nurturing, love, and care we can give them. I promise your fur babies are in the best hands with me! 🙏🤍✨🫶💞 I’m currently self-employed and my schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week. I host retreats and events, which are scheduled in advance. Since I love animals so much, I felt this would be a beautiful opportunity to have some fun caring for other’s beautiful fur babies while making some extra income. I am very detailed oriented and great at adapting to however your animal’s care and schedule looks for them! They are most important, so whatever is best for them is what goes.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals! I've had many different types of personalities with all of the animals I've had growing up so I know how to handle many different dogs and cats. I'm not ready to adopt a dog or another cat yet so I would love to be able to spend some time with more animals! I love to be outside and being active, so I would love to take your dog on walks and have plenty of experience doing that. I also have experience with house/pet-sitting and would love to spend time with your dogs and/or cats while you are away. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so that you know they are in good hands!

About: I have in depth hands on experience with a variety of animals. I worked in pet care for a major chain pet store, caring for birds, small animals, fish, reptiles & amphibians. I spent a short time there as a dog trainer as well. I spent several years riding horses. I have personally owned my dog for all 13 years of her life, a big cat we adopted a few years ago, and a red factor sun conure, two frogs, and most recently a bearded dragon. I have personally owned rats many times, previously owned turtles & mice. I'm even somewhat familiar with chickens and ducks. With an elderly dog, I'm used to frequently taking her out to use the bathroom, and utilizing pee-pads and dog diapers. I'm familiar with puppy potty training as well. I'm a SAHM currently, so my schedule for pet care is pretty flexible! I'm hoping to make pet care something I do full-time, so I'm especially interested in folks who are looking for someone to come by regularly, but I'm very open and flexible schedule wise right now! ** I have a toddler, so let me know if your pet is not kid friendly** - PLEASE let me know when you request if you are still looking for other sitters. I have clients who might also like the dates you are requesting, and have many "our friend's daughter said she would do it", which is fine, just let me know you're still shopping around. Thanks. I currently only offer services where I would come to your home. I'm absolutely open to answering any questions clients might have to make you feel at ease with a stranger in your home. I know how important it is that your pets recieve care on the same level you provide it, and sticking to a routine they know, especially with a new care giver, to reduce their stress and keep them happy and healthy. You will recieve as many pictures and updates as you like! Never feel like your *bothering* me when you ask for additional pictures, updates, or information while I'm caring for your pet.

“McKenzie has been watching our home and dogs since 2021. We have 3 Siberian Huskies, 2 are seniors and 1 is a puppy so she has experience with all ages. The puppy was crate trained until he was house broken so she's familiar with using a crate. The seniors take medication daily so she's also familiar with giving meds if needed. She's responsible and loving and we've never had issues with the home or the dogs while she's here.”
