About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve had animals around since I was in diapers. I rescue them to this day! I have three rescues in my home and I provide top notch care, just read my reviews. I treat everyone’s pets as my own. I’d be happy to care for your furry friends Anyday!!! I’m a stay at home mother of a two year old boy. I have plenty of free time to take care of my home and animals and your animals too! It would be easier for everyone for me to watch your pets in MY home or do drop ins at your place. I have a separate area for cats. My dogs typically roam upstairs and the cats play downstairs in their own little sanctuary. I like to make sure every one is comfortable <3 I have a large yard for dogs to run around in and a small dog run area that’s fenced in. I’m open to keeping your dogs inside my home that way I can keep a good eye on them but if they want to hang out in the yard that’s fine too. I do enjoy going to the dog park so if that’s okay with YOU then I’m open to that which is right around the corner from my house (lucky me:) I’m very experienced with use of kennels for training too. I have a lot of experience with all animals and that gentle nature they’re attracted to.

“Sonja was amazing! Our dog has sever anxiety and doesn’t trust very easily. She did everything in her power to make him feel comfortable and safe. She gave updated throughout the day and was very responsive if I had any questions. She helped adjust the dates when I accidentally booked an extra day. We’re so sad she’s moving away from Michigan we’d definitely book again. She’s very good at what she does and cares for your animals.”


“Jessica was amazing! She sent frequent and useful updates on my kitty while I was away, and was extremely easy to communicate with. I felt completely confident with her, and I will be using her again! Thanks again from Emma and Isaac ?”


“Nia was excellent with our pups for a weekend stay! She kept us updated throughout the weekend, and our house was in great condition when we got home. She’s organized, responsive and truly cares for the pets. We hope she watches them again soon!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have experience with small dogs all the way to Bernese mountain dogs. Currently I have a mixed breed named Arlo that is full of energy. We love to go on walks and adventure everyday. Your dog will not be bored and will be loved like they are my own. Currently working full time with the ability to work from home if needed. I only live 3 blocks from where I work so coming home is no issue. I am a early riser so my dog gets plenty of exercise in the mornings to wear him out while we are gone. I would be able to watch your animal any day of the week. I have a nice size backyard that isn’t fenced in (my dog doesn’t need) but have a chain in case your animal needs it. I have a very nice crate if they prefer to lay or sleep in one. I am mostly outside in the mornings and at night so your pup will always be moving or can lay around and relax if that’s what they prefer.

“Two very large dogs intent on destroying our home (or so it seemed) and somehow Amanda kept order. We received daily communication and pictures and she cleaned up their destruction. We returned to a surprisingly clean house. Definitely rebooking her.”


About: I have dog sat all types of dogs biggest being a Great Dane and the smallest a Chihuahua. I am very open to dog sitting any dog!

About: I have a lot of experience with many different ages and types of pets and love to treat them as my own. I have been hired by many families to care for their pets ranging from guinea pigs to multiple dog households who rely on my responsibility and care. Not only is it important to me for your pets to trust me but also owners to trust my abilities to take care of your pets needs! I am prepared to do whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and loved! I am currently working part time shifts ranging from 9am-3pm. I am available to look after your pets before my shifts, after, and night/overnight. Your pets will be my number one priority in making sure I give them the best care and attention! I pay close attention to them to know what they need whether it be food, going outside, playtime, or just being snuggled! Any accommodations your pets need will be given to them as well.

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

“Shelly is Awesome! You couldn’t ask for a more reliable and attentive caregiver! I highly recommend her. She cared for my two kitties, both are very old and fragile and I felt confident that they were well cared for!”


“Sierra was amazing! We came to her in a rushed panic when our original dog sitter had backed out 12 hours before we were going away for a week. Sierra was super accommodating and picked up our dog and dropped her back off so when we arrived at home, our dog would be waiting for us. She sent us photos and recaps every day! Our dog Netty had a smile in every photo lol! We will DEFINITELY use her again!!”
