Lee was a wonderful dog/car sitter! She kept us updated with pictures and texts. She bonded with our pets quickly and one could tell she loves dogs and cats! She even vacuumed before we returned home! We will definitely hire Lee again.

Sara was great with our two little dogs! They were calm and happy when we returned from a 4 day trip. Sara was very good at keeping in touch so that we could enjoy our trip and not worry about the dogs. The house was in great shape when we got home. Sara is a terrific dog/house-sitter!

About: I grew up walking my neighbors dogs because my parents wouldn’t get me one. We finally got a dog 5 years ago and now have a second one, along with a third bonus dog. Two huskies and a German Shepard have taught me a lot over control of dogs. My love for animals has continued to grow. I started waking some pups from a shelter in my college town. Being back home, I have lots of free time and would love to help take care or your animal(s). At the movement I am babysitting here and there, nothing full time. I have a few weeks where I am completely free and some where I babysit 4-5 days a week. I’m extemlty flexible due to my job! I am more than happy to provide care in your home! I love going on walks, long or short. I’m also happy to play in the backyard, whatever your dog is used to. I’m happy to stay the night or do a few daily check ins!

Katherine was a fabulous dog and house sitter! She arrived on time, she made sure to understand my puppy's routine and needs, and she sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My house was clean and my puppy loved her! I was able to completely relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew Katherine was taking care of Gigi. I will definitely hire again!

Kristin took care of my dog in my home for a week while I was out of town. She was amazing to work with - very responsive and kind from my initial inquiry all the way through my trip and return home. Knowing my house was well-cared for and my dog was getting lots of love and attention made it easier to be away and enjoy my trip. 10/10 would recommend Kristin!

About: I am currently in Traverse City, Michigan. I spend a lot of time between here and Phoenix. I can do last minute sits or drop ins.

Last minute sittings or walks are welcome. I will love and treat your pets as if they are my own. I have mostly done pet and house sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I can get you my reviews from there if you would like further reviews about me. They are all 5 stars. I love taking care of all pets. I have watched big dogs, little dogs, rats and cats and hairless cats. My calendar can change by the minute. Once I commit to you, I will commit to my time with your pet when you book me. I am a flight attendant with lots of time on my hands. My schedule is flexible and I can do a last minute walk or plan ahead for a long sit. I will leave my schedule as booked and open it when I get back from my flight. I am great for last minute sits or if you know ahead of time, I can usually book far in advance and work my flight schedule around you. I mostly work out of the Phoenix area and Traverse City, Michigan. If coming to your home, I ask for a detailed list of your preferences. I will follow and respect you and your pets needs. I am physically fit and love would love to walk your pup or take them for a hike if they are able. I am a flight attendant so I have had an extensive background check. I get random checked for drugs and alcohol. I am very respectful of your rules and space and I am very kind and loving to animals.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, I’ve had the joy of building lasting relationships with pets and their people. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, rescues with trauma histories, high-anxiety pups, and velcro dogs who thrive with extra attention and reassurance. I also have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, including Chihuahuas, Australian Cattle Dogs, Huskies, German Shepherds, Labradors, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and plenty of lovable mixed breeds. Whether your dog is small and shy, big and strong, or somewhere in between, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities. Since starting on Rover this summer, I’ve completed multiple house sitting and dog sitting gigs, both short and extended stays. This includes week-long stays for two different clients—one with two dogs and another with one—and several short-term boarding stays in my home earlier in the season. (Note: I’m currently not offering boarding, but I do offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in care!) In the past, I spent six years caring for a client’s dog while they traveled annually to Peru, staying in their home for about two weeks each year. During those visits, I handled daily walks, feeding, and plant care. I’ve also provided weekly dog walks for a client with two dogs, and many of my clients include plant care as part of my services while they’re away. My clients appreciate that: 🕒 I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can offer more one-on-one time and consistent care. 🐾 I don’t have any pets of my own, so I’m a great match for dogs who don’t do well around other animals or need a calm, focused environment. 🐕‍🦺 I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on multiple daily walks, hikes, lake adventures, dog park trips, or whatever their favorite activities are. 🧸 I also love to spoil dogs with attention, treats (with permission), and pup cups! I’m great at following your dog’s regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in your absence. I also offer regular photo updates so you can stay connected while you're away. Whether you need someone to keep your pup active during the day, provide loving in-home overnight care, or water your plants while caring for your dog—I’m here to provide reliable, personalized, and compassionate care. As a self-employed professional with a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pup. I make your pet’s care a priority—whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special needs, or providing extra enrichment throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits your dog’s unique personality and lifestyle. I also offer long-term and recurring services for clients looking for reliable, consistent support and peace of mind. When caring for pets—whether in your home or mine—safety is always my top priority. I carefully check the space for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep anything dangerous out of reach. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised, and comfortable environment. Trust is essential in building strong relationships with both pets and their people. I have years of hands-on experience, glowing reviews, and a long list of happy clients who regularly refer me—all of which reflect my dedication and consistency. I also pride myself on being a clear and responsive communicator, so you’ll always be in the loop with regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost care and respect. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, or quiet time in their favorite spot. I make sure they always have access to food, fresh water, and a cozy, clean place to rest. My goal is to keep your pet happy, relaxed, and feeling at home—even when you're not there.

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
