About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

Cassie is truly the best. She knows how important our sweet pets are. She always takes such lovely care of my cats, and her care for them is palpable. I will ask Cassie to care for my cats when I’m out of town!

Savannah was an amazing solution to my fairly last minute request to feed, walk and play with my pup. She was extremely professional and clearly great with dogs. She gave us updates via text and sent multiple pictures of our pup to let us know everything was okay. I would definitely recommend her services and will book her again the next time I need dog sitting services!

Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!

About: What truly sets me apart is my deep personal experience with special-needs pets. As the proud owner of a blind dog, I understand firsthand that visually impaired pets don't just need a sitter—they need someone who can speak their language and navigate their world. I'm currently working part-time for the summer until late August. As a part-time worker, pet care fits easily into my day. I anchor the routine with a solid morning walk and feeding before my shift, which allows my pet to rest while I’m away. My afternoons and evenings are dedicated to a second feeding and exercise. On my days off, I dedicate extra time to cleaning pet areas and longer outings. Routine is so important for a pet's well-being, I am highly adaptable to unique needs. For senior pets or pets with sensory limitations—such as blindness—I take extra care to keep their environment entirely predictable. In my home, I ensure the layout remains identical so they can navigate safely, and in the client's home, I follow their exact setup. I use gentle voice and touch cues to avoid startling them, maintaining a calm, structured routine so they always feel secure and cared for.

Lexie was amazing! Super communication and was always on time to the requested stop-ins. You could tell how much Lexie truly cared for our dog and I was so pleased to leave our dogs care in her hands. I loved all the report cards and pictures as well! We will definitely be rebooking with Lexie in the future when needed.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 7 years now, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pups—different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a 6-year-old dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekends. Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need! I primarily care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space and stick to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also respect your home and keep everything just as you left it. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I am a lover of all animals. My experience with exotic reptiles, cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds would make ome a qualified choice. My background in kennel boarding and animal hospitals has improved my skills with animal behavior. My home is cozy, quiet and I live alone. I have a 16 year old Dachshund Doogie, 13 year old cat Ruby, 10 year old cat Oscar, and a 9 year old dachshund Ziggy. All up to date on shots and friendly with other dogs. I would love to get to know the community and their fur babies to help out whenever possible. Animals are amazing and therapeutic to me so I would be honored if chosen! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and I hope I can assist with your fur babies. I do work remotely, so I’m free usually if I have a two hour notice and I’m always home on the weekends. I can do morning, afternoon, evening walks, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and have a medium dog door available for the pups to come and go and of course I hang outside with them. I also have PetCube cams set up throughout the house to make sure they’re safe when I run to do errands. Extra peace of mind!

Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!

Melissa is amazing! My kitten had been through a blood transfusion and needed to have liquid medication given twice a day. Melissa was eager and willing to help! Melissa ensured that my kitten was well cared for when my husband and I were out of town and she kept me well updated on everything and sent me some pictures to help with my anxiousness about leaving. We even found out that we would be getting home later and she was flexible and willing to come one more time to visit Henry in order to make sure he could get his medication before we arrived home. I would highly recommend choosing Melissa to watch over and care for your pet, I am very thankful for her!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. I have had two dogs growing up, a miniature schnauzer and a beagle. I have paid close attention to their every need, cared for them, played with them and of course made them feel loved. I have watched my neighbors dog while they were oh vacation. I have also taken care of my friends dogs. I am a dog mom and a lover of dogs who has a lot of experience taking care of them. I love it! I am currently working part time so I will have a lot of free time to care for, play with and walk dogs. They will have my attention and focus. I have a beagle who is one. There is space for them to play together and I live 2 minutes from a huge dog park where they can let out their energy and have even more space to run free. If you like your dog separated I can have mine in her gated area :)

About: Hello! My name is Heidi. I own a house in the Vine neighborhood, have a fully fenced backyard and live just three blocks from Bronson hospital. I am a teacher during the school year and I enjoy doing dog sitting with my two kids on the weekends and all summer long. Dogs must be kid-friendly. We prefer dogs under 50 pounds but will accept a gentle giant. Im a teacher. So, I’m off all summer with my kids. We work together to care for dogs in order to save up money for something special. No need for a dog park. We have a fenced yard! Hi Dogs spend active time in our fenced backyard as well as quiet time resting with us inside the house. We have so much fun!

About: I have many years training young pets (even cats!) and accommodating for senior animals, especially larger breeds. Larger breeds of dogs are definitely my specialty aswell. I’m currently working part-time (sometimes!) and have an extremely open and flexible schedule, and having the opportunity to help people with their fur family members sounds very fulfilling I have years of dog training experience and used to train service dogs as a child, owning a very well trained and loved dog for over 10 years. During that time I’ve had experience caring for multiple cats with many accommodations due to our oldest being 16 and our youngest being a high maintenance sphinx (just over a year)

About: I bring 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m an active person who loves long walks and can even keep up with high-energy dogs on runs. As a medical student, I’m attentive, responsible, and quick to notice changes in behavior or health, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. Above all, I’m kind, dependable, and treat every dog like my own My schedule is flexible! I’m available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays, and since I work rotating shifts, I often have full weeks off where I can offer even more daytime availability. I tailor my care to each dog’s routine and needs. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or even a run for higher-energy pups. For sitting, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your dog feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had a family dog since I have been 5 years old. We have had two dogs starting at a puppy age. I have walked dogs starting at a puppy age to senior age. I am able to give the dog a short up to a longer walk. My current living situation has a cat in the house. I provide care for the kitten when its owner is gone for the week. I am able to clean the litter box, give water/food and play with the cat. I just finished up my first year of teaching ending early June. I am now available after 12 pm on the weekdays and most weekends (any time range). My job is to take care of your furry friends and your home. I plan to be explicit when I am able to give your pet care and I will make sure your house is secure before leaving the house. I am there to be providing a service to your animal and making sure it gets the care it deserves and needed.
