“Anne was good with Apache. She accommodated my request despite it being last minute. She was on time and communicated well with me and sent me photos of Apache when she was over. I would definitely recommend Anne to anyone and would absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much Anne :)”

“Sydney is wonderful with my dog. Flexible, caring, and professional. You can tell she has a great passion for what she does and I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Experienced pet parent of three dogs and one cat offering reliable, loving care for your furry family members. Book now for a happy, healthy stay! Pet care fits into my daily routine through scheduled feeding times, regular walks, playtime, and consistent monitoring for health and behavior changes. Weekly, I incorporate more in-depth activities like grooming, training sessions, and vet visits as needed. In my home, I ensure pets have a safe, clean environment with plenty of toys, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. In a client's home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintaining their pet's routine, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and attention.

About: Hi! I’m Kirstyn, a registered nurse who loves animals and staying active. My current job offers me lots of flexibility to be able to offer drop-ins and dog walks throughout the day. With my nursing background, I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable handling routines, medications, and special instructions when needed. While I was growing up, we always had a family dog and that was one of my favorite things! I’ve been around animals my entire life and consider them as part of the family! I have also had experience pet sitting for family and friends. I’ve had experience with dogs with disabilities as well and would love to help accommodate anything you and your furry friend need! I’m reliable, responsible and committed to including pictures and messaging updates of your pet so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My current job is very flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your animals including day-of needs! I’m available many weekdays and would love to help you out! I’d love to help care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment! Wether it is letting them out and playing in your yard or taking them on walks around the neighborhood!

“Natasha is my go-to for my dog walking needs! She is flexible and works with me and my crazy schedule, and best of all my doggo loves her. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends me during her visits - it’s a relief to me during a long day at work to know that I don’t have to worry about my pup.”

About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). On Saturdays and Sundays I'll be available from 3 pm-8 pm. If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I currently own a cat, Higgins, who is a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I've been in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He's also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving him a pill. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.

“Ashlee was absolutely fantastic. She was professional and clearly cared about my dog. Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt completely confident knowing my dog was in good hands. It’s obvious she takes her work seriously and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality care.”

About: I will love and care for your furry friends as I do my own. I've owned dogs my whole life and my family would say it's a passion I've never fulfilled (but will be thanks to rover!) I've owned all size breeds so teacup or a small horse, I've got you covered! I am a Navy Veteran and current full-time student at the University of Michigan and my husband works from home 100% of the time. Your pups will never be left unsupervised. We have two other dogs in the home who love having guests and making new friends. Feedings can take place whenever you deem necessary for you! We have a ton of treats (SCHNACKS) ready to spoil and pamper your puppers as we do our own. I live on 7 acres of land in a private community, and have approximately 1 acre of fenced in yard directly off the back of the house. Your friends will be able to take plenty of potty breaks and nice tranquil walks in the "countryside". They will be kenneled at night (around 11p.m.) in a dark, empty room in a padded kennel. (I know it sounds depressing but is actually super relaxing for doggos!). Doggie bath services are also negotiable.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Poppy and Iris today! I really appreciate you walking my girls and spending time with them! I know they were happy to see you!”

About: I got my first puppy when I was 7 years old- it taught me responsibility, care, and love for all animals. Knowing how much I loved this cute pup, I expanded my scope of what loving animals means to me. I adopted 2 cats 6 years later, and was in a 4-h club for 7 years and raised over 30 rabbits, along with tending to all the other animals at the fairgrounds. I had 3 cute little hamsters as pets when I was in high school as well. I have also had the pleasure of taking care of other peoples dogs, cats, birds, and many other animals, which I enjoy an immense amount. I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate to anyones needs. I have a car to get to where I need to go, so I don’t have many things holding me back from giving your pet the care it needs. I have always been very respectful and caring for my animals, and I believe they deserve the utmost care. I care that the pets know my smell and my voice and trust me completely- I do not want any animal to feel as if there is a stranger in their home that they need to be wary of. I will do my very best to provide the most comforting experience for them.

About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!

About: Dogs seem to love me. Personally I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime, and have taken care of many with a business. I am an animal fanatic. I can guarantee that your pet will be in safe hands with me. I am very pet friendly and you can trust that I will take care of any needs that your pet has. I'm currently working full time but I'm looking to get out of the position I'm in to be a pet caregiver as well as a house cleaner. I currently have 2 dogs and LOTS of snails. I am religious when it comes to pet feeding, grooming and any medications. These animals are our family. We may not have them our whole life, but they have us their whole life. We need to make it the best one they could ever dream of. (I don't know about dog psychology but I can assume they dream. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain my dog running in his sleep 🤣😉)

About: Welcome to the care of Mariana and Denys! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a huge part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Together, we have over 20 years of combined experience caring for dogs/pets, and we truly treat every pet like family. We both work from home, so your pets are never left alone and always have someone around to watch over them, play with them, and give them affection throughout the day. We have a nice big yard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy, and we make sure every pet gets the attention they need based on their personality and routine. We also have experience caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medication, caring for senior pets, puppies, and pets that aren’t fully potty trained. Mariana is CPR certified, giving you added peace of mind when it comes to your pet’s safety and well-being. We’re both originally from Europe and can’t wait to meet your pups. We know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so we always send plenty of updates, photos, and videos to help give you peace of mind. Mariana has been taking care of animals since she was 10 years old. Growing up in Ukraine, she was the person friends and neighbors trusted with their pets. Denys has about 14 years of pet-sitting experience and loves giving treats and going on morning walks with your pups. Together, we’re patient, attentive, and truly love making pets feel safe, happy, and at home. No matter the size, age, or personality, we do our best to make every pet feel important, comfortable, and cared for like they’re our own. We’re so excited to welcome your furry family members into our home. 🐶🐱💙 Our daily schedule is very flexible since we both work from home. This allows us to stick closely to your dog’s routine, including regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and rest. We provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are carefully supervised and treated with patience and respect. We follow your instructions closely, maintain routines, and take every precaution to make sure each pup feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home while in our care.

About: Hello! My name is Alexis and I am a GVSU Alumni. I was also on the track and field team so I love to run and be outside! I do well with all different types of breeds and would treat your pet as my own (I have a goldendoodle back at home named Bentley). When he comes up to visit me, we love to go on walks, go to the pet store and even the doggie Beach! I have recently just got a Mini Aussie puppy of my own named Asher and he will melt your heart! I would love to give my love and affection to your pet(s) and make sure to go above and beyond for them! They will definitely be spoiled and have lot of attention that they deserve! I would be so happy to have your to watch and walk! I work a hybrid schedule for work so I am able to work from home! I have a great schedule with my own as we go out multiple times a day and even go on 30 mins walks during my lunch time. I have a dog of my own who loves guests and plenty of space to play and go in walks outside! If needing their own space I have multiple rooms or if needed- crate to let them wind down.

“Great!”

About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.

About: Hi, I’m Sophie Water, a senior Honors student at the University of Michigan! I offer dependable, caring, and flexible pet-sitting services for your furry friend—whether you’re going away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip. I can provide drop-in visits or overnight sitting, tailored to your pet’s needs! I also pride myself on sending excessive amounts of pet pictures to you (unless requested that I don’t). As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from them, no matter how long it is. I’ve grown up with at least four pets and have over 7 years of experience with pet-sitting. I’m passionate about animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. SERVICES I OFFER: Drop-in Visits: For feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any medication if needed. Overnight Sitting: I stay at your home to ensure your pet is never left alone overnight. Pet Care for All Animals: I am definitely open to watching all kinds of pets! Please submit additional pets with your original requests and I will follow-up as soon as I can! Additional Tasks: If you need help with things like bringing in the mail, watering plants, or any other small tasks while you’re away, I can definitely assist! FREE CONSULTATION AVAILABLE My resume, more detailed proof of experience, references, and service rates are available upon request. Please feel free to message me through Rover if you’re interested in any of the above services. I’d be happy to schedule a free consultation to meet and discuss details further prior to booking. Super excited to meet you and your pets! I am a college senior at UofM, and am about to graduate. Most of my coursework and internship work can be done remotely and asynchronously, so I’m flexible and willing to adapt to your pet’s needs!! I also am from the Metro Detroit area and can stay with family there, so if you’re looking for services there I may be able to still help out. Unfortunately, my current lease agreement doesn’t allow me to have pets in my own home. That being said, I find that this is often a comfort to most pets. It can be a tough adjustment when both your owner and home are suddenly gone! I do my best to make sure I follow your pet’s routine to the best of my ability. I also take into consideration pet personalities, likes and dislikes, and try my hardest to intuitively and empathetically care for them. As someone who grew up with pets of all temperaments (from escape artists to insanely energetic to couch potatoes), I am able to build relationships with each pet individually and anticipate their wants and needs. Pets are just as smart (if not smarter ;) than people, and I make it a given that I treat them as such. There are no silly questions or requests! I am happy to cater to what YOU believe and know your pet needs, and work especially hard to keep you updated (unless you request against it). I’m a super cautious and paranoid person, which at times can be a negative. In terms of pet care, though, this means that nothing will slip through the cracks. Any concerns that may in the past have gone unnoticed will be meticulously catered to. I hope you’ll trust that your pets are just as important to me as my own, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they have the safest and best time they can with me!

“Thank you Margaret!! The dogs are so much happier since you started coming to walk them!!”
