“I really appreciate Kristy’s patience and kindness with my nervous dog who takes some time to warm up to new people. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pets Kristy!”
“This was the first time Cheyenne cat sat for my 4 cats and I will definitely book with her again next time we need cat sitting! We ended up having to extend our trip twice, and Cheyenne was so flexible about adding extra days. It was very appreciated. Our cats seem healthy and happy now that we're home! Cheyenne's updates were great, with pictures and info each visit. Would recommend to others!”
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”
“Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.”
“This is my third time using Hailey and she’s great! Hailey always makes sure my senior cat gets her meds. She is also quick to respond to messages and concerns. I highly recommend Hailey!! And I will definitely use her again.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
About: Hello! My name is Jenn and I am a professional pet caregiver and mom dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I am a lifelong pet owner myself with years of experience walking and caring for animals of all sizes. I am a runner, but will tailor our walks to your pet’s energy level. I promise to provide reliable, safe, and loving care and will treat your pet like my own. I am also happy to provide photo updates. I look forward to meeting and providing the best care for your pet! I currently have summers off and I am fully available to help with your pet! I am available daily to help care for your pet between 10 am - 8 pm. I will treat your home and pet with the utmost respect while I am visiting. I have lived in the Haslett/Okemos area for 15 years and I am very familiar with the local trails and neighborhoods to give your pet the best walking experience possible.
About: Along with a lifetime of owning and loving my own pets, I spent five years working at a veterinary clinic and I’m extremely comfortable handling animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read behavior, stay calm, and make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, compassionate, and confident working with pets who may be shy, energetic, or still learning. Being around animals has been a big part of my daily life for years, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and care they need. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to build my day around their routine so they get consistent attention and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, check water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for pets who need medication or extra attention due to illness. My five years at a veterinary clinic gave me a lot of hands‑on exposure to animals with different medical needs, so I’m comfortable following instructions, staying calm, and making sure they get the care they need to feel safe and happy.
About: I grew up with golden retrievers and have watched neighbor’s pets since I was 14. I just recently graduated from veterinary school and am waiting to start my job. I can handle basic at home medical care for your pets and can catch signs of illness to bring to your attention. Your pets are in good hands! My class schedule changes daily, but I am available most afternoons during the week and am available most weekends. Please just let me know when care is needed and I will try to figure it out. I cannot board any animals as I have my own cat who can be wary of new animals in the home, but I am happy to stay at your home if needed.
“Laura is awesome! She took the time to meet with us prior to the visit and I knew she would be a perfect match for our two cats, Poppy and Noodle. She played with Poppy who looked to be having fun and was playful with Laura. Laura found the shy Noodle in her hiding spot and snapped a photo. The second day Noodle was out of hiding a little, which gave the chance for another photo but more importantly, showed me that even shy Noodle was comfortable with Laura, which is remarkable! Laura was thorough with her report and a very kind persisted. We appreciate her and will welcome her back!”
“Was awesome with our cats and did everything to make sure they were taken care of! Our one was hiding and she stayed longer to try to lure her out to feed her and ensure she was okay! Would recommend her and would use again.”
About: I have cared for family members, family friends pets and currently work in a daycare and boarding facility while also working on my training certification I work full time but have various hours where I can be available by around that schedule. I work for a dog daycare and can be ready anytime while I'm not there. I live near a private dog park and have a sweet dog to keep company, or I can play at home with whatever is available

Okemos cat parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was amazing with Dave! It was my first time leaving him alone for an extended period of time and she made sure to give him the love and attention he needed, even coming back an extra session to make sure he was eating and using the litter box! I got the cutest pictures while I was away too
I highly recommend Claire! She’s very considerate, reliable, and very great in communication! Everyday besides refilling food water and cleaning litterbox, she checked on whether my cat Pirate is doing well, paid special attention to his mood, and updated me with photos. I came back with everything in order and a happy kitty. I will not hesitate to rely on her again next time!
Amazing sitter! I was nervous because my cat was recently adopted, and a sudden shift in routine could make him regress again. However this was not the case! She played with him twice a day and I can tell went above and beyond! Quick to respond and sent pictures everyday! Highly suggest if you have a cat!
My experience with Nicholas was top tier. I came home from a long trip to find that my two cats were well cared for and happy. Nicholas sent photos and updates consistently and gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Nick to anyone who wants someone to go the extra mile with their pet!
