“Jolynn was absolutely amazing with Moe! I had such anxiety and fear about leaving my fur baby home and having someone I don't know come to let him out, but Jolynn made me feel a million times better. She was able to come do a meet and greet the day before on short notice, she sent me pictures of him during her stay and I will be using her as my go-to person from now on.”
“Brittany is so great with Ace! You can tell she really loves and cares for these pups like they’re her own! I feel so comfortable leaving Ace with her and I know he’s getting the best care!”

“Jessica took great care of my kitties while I was out of town. I received pictures of them playing, enjoying food and treats. I knew I could enjoy my vacation with Jessica there to care for my animals. I will be booking with her again! Thank you! 🐾”

“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”

About: No matter if your pet is big or small I will love them with all of my heart and spoil them. I believe pets need extra attention when their families are away so they don’t feel left behind. I work during the week but on the weekends I’d love to help you with your pet so you can take that weekend getaway you deserve! I’m a huge animal lover and this is honestly a great opportunity for me to get to love on as many animals as possible. I am very careful when opening outside doors to ensure everyone stays safe. I always triple check fences and keep an eye out for any potential risks.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. They are one of the things in life that make me the happiest. There is nothing more important to me than providing your pet with the best experience possible. I have a contract based job where teach extra curricular activities after school and I also help run a nonprofit so my schedule is pretty open during the day for most of the year. Safety as my number one when it comes to pets. Additionally, when in someone else's home I understand that they and their pet have their own preferences and processes which I always respect.
“We think Ainsley did amazing. First she was able to watch our dog (Fidelis) at such short notice. Second she did everything we asked. And most importantly cared for and loved our dog like a family member. Great job Ainsley! Hope to be able to have you again for next time. Thank you. My wife really appreciate all that you have done.”

“Olivia was great with my dogs. It was the first time we took this service and Olivia gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her disposition was immediate, she always responded instantly. We even had a last minute setback and Olivia was there to provide support if needed. Thank you Olivia 🙏🏻”

“Sam has checked in on my cats several times now and she is just amazing with them. I appreciate the peace of mind I get knowing that she’s caring for them just like I would.”


About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
About: Loving Home on an Acre – Your Dog’s Second Family! Hi there! We’re a pet-loving family offering dog boarding and doggy daycare from the comfort of our home. With over 12 years of experience as pet owners and more than 8 years of dog sitting, caring for animals is second nature to us. We recently lost our beloved pup, and while we miss her deeply, we’re excited to open our hearts and home to new furry friends. We live on a fully fenced-in acre—plenty of space for sniffing, running, and exploring. Whether your dog loves lounging in the sun or playing fetch, they’ll have the freedom and safety to do what they love. We work remotely and have a teenager who is home from college for the summer, which means your dog will never be alone—there’s always someone here to provide companionship, belly rubs, and supervised outdoor time. We welcome dogs of all breeds and ages, from energetic puppies to relaxed seniors. Our home also includes one very mellow cat who is used to dogs. We ensure a calm, respectful environment for all our guests and treat each pet as if they were our own. If you’re looking for a safe, caring, and attentive place for your dog while you’re away, we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we both work remotely from home, we’re here all day to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Our days include regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks tailored to each dog’s needs and energy level. Because we live on a fenced acre, your pup will enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time, supervised at all times. Whether it’s cuddle time on the couch, fetch in the yard, or quiet moments for senior dogs, we’re fully present and engaged. Caring for pets isn’t just something we do—it’s something we love and live every day. We provide a calm, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs staying with us become part of our daily routine, which includes supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced acre, regular potty breaks, and personalized play or rest depending on their energy level. We’re always home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and snuggles throughout the day. We follow your feeding and medication schedule closely and make sure to maintain any habits your dog is used to—whether that’s crate time, leash walks, or cozy bedtime routines. Our home is dog-friendly, and while we have one cat, they’re used to dogs and tend to keep to themselves.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, having the unique experience raising and training dogs through my father, an experienced police dog trainer and handler. I have a lot of patience and take great care in handling dogs of all breeds. I have skills and experience in crate training, potty training, leash training, getting pets used to kids and other animals, and breaking food and toy aggression. I am available for drop-in visits and walks for all animals. I am able to board up to 3 dogs at a time. I am able to pick up and drop off for an additional fee of $30 each. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. For boards longer than 3 days, I require a “doggy day care” trial with a minimum of 4 hours to ensure your beloved pet and I are good fits for each other. Proof of vaccines required. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have the flexibility to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day. Having three children, we are big fans of routines. I ensure integration of your animals into our daily routine. We live on an acre with a fenced in backyard. Because of the foliage, I do require your dog to be on a tick preventative for their safety. We will keep your fur baby company, loved on and entertained! We spend a lot of time at home, so your pup will never get lonely under our care. I also take time to read your dogs cues and body language and teach my children how to read these and the importance of respecting animals and their boundaries. We treat all animals with love and respect.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, chinchillas, and hamsters. Including grooming, cleaning up after, administering medicine, feeding, etc. I have cared for animals from the moment they are born until old age. I have worked with animals with a wide range of personalities. I am a graduate student at Oakland University so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am currently doing Rover full-time and look forward to meeting your beloved pets. I will love and care for your animal as though it is my own. I will also respect all house rules and make sure your pet is fed, getting enough exercise, and update you regularly. I will stay and play with your pet it will never be a check in and leave.

“Adriana was awesome - she took great care of our pets and provided prompt updates with photos. She obviously loves animals and takes great care of them. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”
