“She took great care of our 3 cats, following their specific care instructions well and even giving one of my cats medication twice a day without difficulty. She gave great updates and photos throughout our absence. Highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

“It was our first time using Rover, and Hannah was such a good choice! Our two kitties seemed to get comfortable with her really quickly and were so well taken care of! Hannah was very detailed in her notes for each visit and sent many pictures where we could see that our babies were cared for and having fun. We will definitely book her again when we're out of town!”

About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.

“So happy with Evie I appreciate everything she has done. She did more than I asked. She even got my one cat to come out from hiding. Thanks Kenny!”

“Molly was great with our dogs! She was also very responsive when booked last minute and any time we messaged her. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a recent doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Hello! I’m Monica and I am a stay at home mom ready to cuddle and play with your dog(s). I am ready to treat your dog(s) as one of my own. My schedule will allow me plenty of time to meet all the needs of your pets. I am also an avid walker and if your dog likes to go on walks, I have a great neighborhood to explore. I have always been an animal lover. I attended Michigan State University to become a veterinarian. During a veterinarian club meeting I was introduced to the profession of veterinary technicians and knew that that was my calling. I was most excited about being able to provide more hands on care of the animals (administering medications, tending to hospitalized patients, walking the dogs, etc). After graduating, I worked as a vet tech for 7 years and frequently provided petsitting services on the side, mostly staying the night at clients houses. After I became pregnant with my first child I chose to be a stay at home mom and paused petsitting. Now that my children are older, more responsible, and in school, I am ready to get back to petsitting. I am happy to also provide petsitting services in your home including drop ins, walking, and overnight stays. I am a stay at home mom so I have lots of time to play and cuddle your baby and meet his or her special needs. I own my home and have a fully fenced in large back yard. If your dog prefers a crate when left in the home or at nighttime, I ask that you bring that with you along with their food. My dog will be crated if I have to leave the house to run an errand or take my kids to an appointment. I will ask for a meet and greet prior to the dates of the petsitting service so that I can make sure that your dog feels comfortable with me and with my dog.

About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.

“Kalia was very accommodating and communicative during this whole process. She made my first experience on Rover a great one! Will definitely keep her in mind whenever I need someone to check in on my kitties :)”

About: I've cared for dogs my whole life and live with two dogs and two cats. I previously worked at a vet clinic, so I know how to read pet behavior and keep anxious animals calm. As an Air Force veteran, I'm punctual, follow your routine exactly, and send photos and updates every visit. My schedule is flexible, so I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, including last-minute requests. I plan each visit around your pet's feeding, walk, and medication times so their routine stays the same while you're away. I care for pets in your home, where they're most comfortable. I follow your instructions exactly, double-check doors, gates, and windows before leaving, and keep your home tidy. My veterinary clinic background means I know what to watch for, and I send photos and updates after every visit.

“April did an amazing job. The pups loved her. Super happy she was able to take care of them. Thanks again!”

About: Hi! Farm girl raised around various types of animals. Genuine love for all animals & offering pet care on my off days. I'm reliable, punctual, sincere, and honest. I'm currently working FT, & am looking to help care for your pets on my off days. I'm available Wed & Th evenings, as well as all day Sat & Sun. I am willing to learn your routines & mimic my services to match your needs. I am an active person, so short or long walks/runs are welcomed. Willing to feed, walk, play, brush, bathe, remove pet waste, & am open to any other services you may need.

About: We adopted my mom’s dog back in 2020, so since then I have had experience living with dogs. I then adopted my dog, Smokey, in 2024. I potty and leash trained Smokey, and also taught him numerous tricks. Then in January, I adopted Canelo, and I was able to leash and potty train him (he is older so he was sort of potty trained), along with teaching him how to use steps! I attend college one day a week, on wednesdays, so I have plenty of time! I would love to care for your pet with all of the free time I have. Whether it’s checking in or walking your dog, I’m able to do it all in the comfort of your home. At your home, I will assure to respect everything and watch over your pet with care! I am able to crate your pet at my home as well, if needed.
