“Always so great at communication. Had a snow storm while I was gone and she kept me up to date and informed, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were taken care of in case she couldn't get there.”


“I am so grateful for Vickie! She was able to check on my cat several times with basically no notice when my original sitter had an emergency. She was communicative and thorough and sent me photos during each visit. I felt assured that Pumpkin was well taken care of.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.

“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”


“Madison was very nice and easy to work with. I was out of options, and decided to download rover last minute. I am very glad I did because it was a great experience. I highly recommend Madison if you want somebody that cares for your pups and communicates/works with you to satisfy your needs. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of our 17 year old kitty! We were a little worried about leaving her, but she bonded with Sarah right away. And I loved the pictures Sarah sent us! Sarah also went over and above, taking care of a few other things at our house for us. She was a real pleasure to work with, and we will definitely use her again.”


“What a great experience! Our first visit using Lonie was perfect. She was super responsive and easy to work with. Our home was for sale and we have cats so she gave all of the effort we could have hoped for and more. We were nervous about leaving for ten days with a new sitter but this couldn’t have gone better. I can tell by their behavior that they were comfortable and happy with Lonie. I could not recommend her more.”


“Becca has been such a huge help with our girl! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book Becca and Rover again! Becca gave me such peace of mind which I am so grateful for!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. I have always had dogs in the house since I’ve been a little kid. I often house sit as well as dog and cat sit for neighbors anytime they need! I am a Grand Valley Sate University Student! For the summer I am taking part time online classes and looking for other animals to fill my time! Readily available and excited to do this! My goal is to keep your animals happy and healthy! I want to give enrichment activities and help them be comfortable while their owners are away!

“Bibi is such a reliable pet sitter and I'm so lucky to have her checking in on my baby when we're away. She is always responsive, sends great updates, is happy to check the mail or water the plants or whatever I need and I just treasure the fact that Biscuits loves her! I'm only hesitant to give her a great review because I'm so reliant on her being available for all my travel needs!”

I have daily flexibility with my schedule and can assist with your pets daily care. We have a big yard and can take the pets out on a leash to walk and potty. We have one dog and 3 outside kitties, which are precious additions to our family. We are open to boarding as well as in home visits. We can walk your pet and play with them as well!

About: I have a ton of experience with all sorts of animals. I have seen it all! I’ve pet sat puppies, senior dogs, aggressive cats, kittens and a lot more. I have experience with giving medication to animals as well! I truly would take great care of your animal and of course send you updates. I quit my job so i am just doing pet sitting so i have plenty of time to hangout with your animals or go on long walks and even play. I treat all animals how I would want someone else to treat mine. they have free range of the house. They’re able to jump on the couch and have a good time!


About: I have been trusted to care for pets from a very young age, including my own, family member's, and friends. I have experience with senior and disabled pets, as I cared for my disabled senior chihuahua for the last few years. I currently work 12-8 Friday-Monday, but I am very flexible and can work with your schedule. I am available in the mornings and anytime Tuesday-Thursday I unfortunately will not be able to open my home to your pets, as my roommate has two cats who are scared of their own shadows. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pups!

About: I worked as a veterinary technician and ICU nurse at a veterinary teaching hospital for 11 years. I have a farm where I have 2 cats, chickens, 3 dogs, 2 dachshunds and an Australian shepherd. I would love to pet sit your pups and provide an adventurous, peaceful, home away from home. Most weeks I am working from home so I am here all day with my pets and yours. I give numerous potty breaks throughout the day along with pasture walks and trail hikes, all on my property. If I leave for appointments or errands, I am gone no more than 4 hours. I have 22 acres that my pups (and cats and chickens) roam on. The front is fenced and gated but there are still places around the perimeter that does not have a full fence. I can easily keep your pup on a leash while staying if desired. I am happy to crate your pup if you desire during bedtime and/or when I am out for a few hours. I have multiple sizes of crates available so you will not have to bring. I have a background in veterinary medicine and never let my pups out of my sight while we are outside playing.

About: I have worked with newborn to senior pets since I was five years old, and I am a very active person that enjoys playing with furry friends. I plan on working in healthcare in the future so I prioritize caretaking. I am taking one online college course during the summer and I am a part-time tutor so I will have a lot of free time this summer for pet sitting! In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, and lots of love and attention. I keep routines consistent and follow any instructions you provide. In your home, I will respect your space, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they feel secure in their own environment. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!

Emily C.
“Emily is so dependable and loving with my dog. When my family goes out of town we can always count on her to take great care of our dog. Bo is a giant St. Bernard and doesn’t like a lot of people but loves Emily. She does a great job with him even though he’s a huge mess 😂. She sends us pictures of him everyday and he looks like he is having the time of his life every time. My family loves her !!!”


Brandie L.
“I can't say enough good things about Brandie when it comes to how she cares for animals. She is one of the most responsible and loving pet caregivers I’ve ever known. Whether it's her own pets or someone else's, she gives them all her love with special attention, feedings, exercise on the farm, and always keeps them comfortable and safe. She's incredibly attentive to their needs and genuinely enjoys spending time with all animals. You can see the bond she forms with animals almost instantly, and it’s clear how much they trust her in return. I would confidently trust her with any pet, knowing they would be in the best hands possible. She's not just dependable—she truly treats every animal like family.”
