“This was my first time using Rover and my cat is an old lady so I was pretty anxious about using it. Mary Kay definitely made me feel like my cat was in the right hands! Her reports were detailed and she shared many wonderful pictures. Thank you so much for taking care of Baby!”
“Katy was great with my pup! She truly cares for you and your pets to get the best experience, and even stayed longer with my puppy to makeup for a small miscommunication we had. She was very patient with my young puppy and I will definitely use Katy again.”

“So crazy amazing! Carli far exceeded our expectations. She took care of all three of our pups individually to cater to each ones needs. From Our happy pup to our anxious pup, she treated each one with love and care. Can’t wait to have her with us again.”

About: I'm calm and patient with every animal, and I am committed to treating them as my own. I have plenty of experience and I will give your pets the attention they deserve. Trust and safety are a priority for me. My goal is to give pet parent piece of mind as a caring companion. I am a full time baker at a local coffee shop. As my childhood dogs are at the end of there road. I love meeting new pups and cats after working! I'm always available to take care of your babies! I am a lifelong animal lover with two friendly dogs and a sweet kitten. I treat pets like part of my family. They will get affection and play time.

“Came home from a busy work trip to find my cats calm and content! They loved all the play time with Grace and I enjoyed the daily pictures she sent while away from home. Truly appreciate the peace of mind knowing my babies are in safe and cared for in Grace’s care!”

“Katie was great! What a relief it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your pets while you are away! I will definitely put in a request for Katie again!”

“I’ve lost track of how many times Lukis has watched my kitties. Lukis is incredibly reliable - always providing poetic updates with hilarious photos for my peace of mind. My home is always in perfect order when I return and my cats are happy, healthy, and loved. I know that whenever I leave town, I can count on Lukis to take care of my fur babies. Thanks Lukis (:”

“Maheen took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. They seemed to be comfortable with her right away and we really appreciated the cute pictures and thorough updates every visit. We would highly recommend Maheen to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.
About: I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats as well as smaller pets like hamsters and fish, so caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I currently live with three cats and am very comfortable with feline routines, personalities and special needs. I also have experience with small and large dogs; from growing up with a Chihuahua to caring for an American Bulldog, so I understand how different sizes and temperaments require different approaches. I am attentive, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. I currently work Tuesday-Saturday in the afternoons (typically from 3:30pm-8pm with the occasional later nights). I am available in the mornings for check-ins, quality time, play time, feedings, and walks and I'm happy to help pets start their day calmly and on a schedule. I communicate clearly if my evening availability changes and always prioritize routines and consistency for the pets in my care. Safety, trust and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your home so pets can stay in a familiar environment, keeping their routines consistent and minimizing stress. I follow all feeding, walking and care instructions closely, maintain a clean and calm space, and pay attention to details to ensure your pets safety and well-being. My goal is to make both you and you pet confident and relaxed while you're away.

About: I’ve lived in Atlanta for about 20 years and one of my favorite things about this city is the animal life; both wild and domesticated. I have recently relocates to Detroit! My friend call me “The Dog Whisperer” because everywhere I go puppers can’t get enough of me! My summertime availability is 100% flexible. I’ve taken care of all types of dogs old and young, big and small. I’m no stranger to giving medication or dealing with rambunctious dogs who need a little extra time outside. I believe that all animals deserve love and care and that all owners deserve a break. These puppies are like our children and sometimes kids have to be sent to Autie’s House. Let me be your puppy aunt. The pleasure is all mine. I take classes online and bartend part time. My schedule is very flexible. I am home during the day to play and cuddle with the animals. I leave for work in between 2-4 and return between 8-10. If I am returning at 10 I will feed the dogs before I leave and give them a little treat/snack when I return. I care for the pets based upon your personal standards and their routine. I currently do not offer boarding because of my own skittish pet.
“Katherine was wonderful with our lovely lady puppy Stella. She was timely, updated us throughout her visit, and was super comforting with our puppy. We will absolutely be working with her again in the future!”

“Erik did a fantastic job of caring for my kitties! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request, his communication with me was perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he took with my cats and my home. I’ll definitely be calling him again! Thank you, Erik!”

“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”

About: For 15 years, I've cared for my own pets through every stage of life. Everything from boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, chronic care, and senior routines. Those years have taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel comfortable. **I aim to provide a safe, respectful experience for all families. If you are feeling impacted by the current political climate and activity and/or have concerns about privacy or safety, you’re welcome to message me directly—I'm glad to help however I can.** I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to adapt to your pet's needs and keep things consistent. **My calendar and availability will be updated weekly on Mondays.** I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I will stick closely to your routines–meals, walks, meds, and house rules–so your pet's day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks. (I have my own "Harry Husky Houdini", so I understand an escape artists.) If something seems off, I'll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we're in a fully fenced/secure area and you've approved it. I tend to communicate often, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease, because as a fellow pet parent, I know how hard it can be to be apart.
“Jj was fabulous with Eco and sent me updates after each visit, showing pictures and information about what she had done. She was kind and took good care of my senior cat, petting, playing, and making her feel comfortable.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. For the past 5 years I took care of my senior dog until he passed at 17. I have experience with senior and sick pets. Provide medication and a lots of attention. Very patient and loving. I work remotely. I can stay with your pet all day and provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. I can take breaks during the day for walks, and they can sleep in my bed at night. I have a large fenced back yard. No children or other pets in my house. I live alone and work from home. I will provide plenty of attention and play time.
Petosky-Otsego pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shannon took amazing care of our cats and our home while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent us pictures and updates everyday that gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the care Shannon put into looking after our boys!

Erik is so great with my cat. He takes great care of her and goes above and beyond to look out for my entire household. My dog has been gone the last couple of drop ins, but I look forward to Erik taking care of her too. He is clearly a natural animal lover and will care for your pet as if it’s his own.

Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!
