“Jamie was an excellent introduction to Rover for me and my two cats. From the introductory visit to the very end of my week long trip I felt confident that my cats were not only well taken care of but loved (even my one little troublemaker who has intimidated others in the past) would love to work with her again and recommend her to others!”


“Gina was super communicative through my entire trip, as well as before and after, and took great care of my cat despite the fact that she hid from Gina daily. Peanut Butter seems thrilled to have me home, but *I* at least appreciate Gina's care of her. :) I'll certainly hope to book her again for my next trip.”


About: I’ve had a furry friend my entire life, and have looked after animals that need immediate or intense care, or are in need of a home for 12 years. I work from home and am able to take breaks as needed to care for pets. I have most things delivered and rarely leave home for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in 1/2 acre backyard where pets can run around and play! I live in a low traffic area making it ideal for taking walks.

“Kelly and Taylor did a great job caring for our beloved cats! We were very nervous since this is the first time we’ve left for a trip in years, but they reassured us with texts and photos and generally being very responsive. We will use them again!”


“Rodney was great. He came to greet my pups ahead of the service date. He sent me pics throughout his visits and my pups were content and seemed happy when we got home. We will request Todney again.”


“Libby was a God send. We are so thankful for finding her on Rover. We have been worried for a long time about finding the right sitter for our Archie dog and Libby is the perfect person. I can’t wait to use her again! We were lucky enough to have another sitter turn us down and then we found Libby. Our Meet and Greet was as smooth as possible. When my husband made a mistake on the date and Libby showed up when she was not needed, she graciously came back the next day at the correct time. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our dog, who happens to require a little extra attention. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Libby!”


About: My whole life my parents have had dogs so I’ve grown up around dogs since I was an infant, this also means that they’ve had quite a few different puppies over the years and I have helped train them. I am the go to person for all of my friends and family. If they need someone to watch their pets while they’re gone I absolutely love seeing their animals and taking care of them and I treat everyone’s animals as if they’re my own and do the things that I would want others to do for my pets. During the school year, I work as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. This means that my summers are very open and free to watch others pets and give them plenty of love and attention. I care for pets in others homes as if they were my own pet, I will make sure to play with them and feed them and get them outside, but also just cuddle them if they like that and give them the space if they also would prefer that.

About: I have 5+ years experience caring for dogs! My neighbors, family friends, and other have trusted me to take care of their pets with dignity. I currently have my own business training and raising hunting dogs! I work full time during the week 7:30-4:30 which is why weekends work best for me! I’m also able to take my hour lunch early or late if pet care is needed during the weekdays! I understand the importance of respecting an owners wishes on how their pet is cared for in and out of their home. I have 4 dogs of my own that are my whole world. I will treat your pet like mine. I can easily crate/kennel your pet even in urgent situations.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: I have taken care of many animals. I was raised on a dairy farm and my family has had dogs my whole life. My family currently has 3 dogs. I am currently working part time in Onondaga so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I enjoy spending my free time with animals. I live on a farm so I have plenty of room for pups to run around. I also have a fenced in area if needed.

About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at the Mason meijer deli. I work the closing shift on fridays-Sundays which is from 2pm-9:30pm. I will be able to do morning visits and walks until 1:30 or 2pm. I will also be able to do night house sitting after work until midnight or over night if needed. I am currently being switch to a new department in my store so if you happened to schedule me Monday-Tuesday I will be working 12-8pm in the bakery of my store. I don't always stay until 8 it depends on how fast I get my job done which typically is an 30 minutes early or an hour barely. If you have more than one furry friend and can easily separate them if needed and make sure they are both calm with each other if they are in the same area watched very carefully. If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.

“Hunter was above and beyond great!! Very reliable and communicative. She even helped with our chickens and checked on our barn kitty. Always a good feeling to know your furry family is being well taken care of while you’re away. Thanks Hunter!”


“Jacklyn, did an amazing job for us. We were gone for a week. We hated to leave our cat for so long. Jacklyn came to our house 3 days and fed her and would spend a 1/2 hour at the house. It was really nice to be on vacation and know someone was checking in on our girl. I highly recommend Jacklyn!!”


About: I LOVE animals! I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My animals are very well taken care of. They are like children to me. You will never need to worry about your pet, as I will treat them like my own. I currently work at the Henry Ford Allegiance Health, where I have been for 28 years. I am a receptionist, and enjoy interacting with people. I go above and beyond to make the patients experience the best that it can be! I am married and have 3 amazing kids. I have been married for 22 years. It is time for this momma to find something more to do outside of the house. I currently work 8 hour shifts. My children are adults, so I have all the time in the world! My goal is to have you go on vacation and not worry about your pet! I would prefer to watch pets in your home, due to having 3 dogs of my own. I would spend as much time as I need to with them. They will be treated like my own!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have grown up with them so I am experienced with walks and with training. My dogs in the past have not liked water so I am used to bathing very difficult dogs. I am currently in college full time so I can visit the pets after I am out of classes and help them get fresh air. I have many leashes and I will have treats if the pet is to get away. I also gave water and bowls for when it is hot.

Brianna C.
“Brianna has been dog sitting for us for the last two and half years. i have four high energy large breed dogs that require a lot of attention and activity especially when we are gone due to two of them having separation anxiety. She is willing to go outside with them and throw the ball around or just sit on the deck in the sun on a nice day. We have been gone for durations of up to two weeks and we always come back happy and impressed with the house and the happiness of our pups. As a dog owner who is very specific and picky about dog food, how the dogs are fed, when they are fed, and rules in the home Brianna is always willing to make sure I'm comfortable and happy while away on vacation. Brianna is a great choice for a responsible dog loving pet sitter who will make your animals feel loved and cared for and give you the peace of mind needed to ensure safe and happy travels.”

Lisa B.
“Lisa is an animal lover! She's an amazing dog mom, who puts her pets first. She is a responsible, loving and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Pick Lisa if you want one less worry, while you're away from your pet.”


Elizabeth H.
“If I were to think of two words to describe Elizabeth, I would say loving and responsible. I’ve know Elizabeth for just over 10 years and throughout those years she has never failed to be by my side when I needed her. She deeply care for those in her life and strives to love them intentionally with all that she has. Liz loves every animal she meets and instantly wants to become best friends. I also know Liz as responsible, she isn’t afraid to do what she wants and stand up for what she believes in. She would definitely remember to give an animal their medications, or feed and walk them. You can and should trust Elizabeth! She’s the girl for your pet!”
