1. Emily H.

“Emily was so good to our pets. She kept me updated on all concerns and questions. We will definitely use Emily again. Our boys were in great shape when we got home!! Thanks Emily!”


2. Kara C.

“Kara had clearly worked with dogs before, and wasn't phased by the hyper, energetic ball of fur that is our dog. It was nice to know we'd be leaving him with someone who knew how to handle his energy while continuing with the commands, training, etc. we'd been working with him on.”


3. Mary J.
“Mary Jeffrey is not just my Daughter in-law, she is a kindred spirit. Mary and I share a love for all animals, pets as well as any wildlife. We have had many adventures together over the years from stopping our vehicle to save dogs from getting run over, to being there for friends and neighbors when they needed a helping hand with their own pets. Mary will go out of her way to ensure not just her own two dogs are well loved and cared for, but also she is there for me anytime I need help in a pinch with mine. I have two dogs and seven cats...all rescues. Mary is an avid hiker so her Husky and Malamute never want for exercise and adventure in the woods. She has had many years of training her own dogs as well as helping with her brother's rescue Husky. Mary is the only person I have ever known who could teach her Husky to not only not kill her Ferrets, but actually befriend them. Mary is one of the most caring and ethical people I have ever known. If you consider pressing her into action walking or taking care of your own beloved dog, you will never be sorry.”


4. Kathryn B.

“So happy to have found Kathryn. She lives close by and is a delightful and kind person who clearly loves animals (and our dogs loved her). She promptly responded to our messages and was easy to communicate with, and she gave us feedback following her home visits without us asking. We would highly recommend her.”


5. Jay C.


“When we returned from our recent getaway, both of our kitty cats were calm and relaxed. That tells me just how good Jay took care of them!! Jay is great and his love for animals clearly shows. I fully trust him and know that all will be well while we are away. Thank you Jay!”


6. Alexa P.

“Alexa took great care of our cat! She helped us out last minute, which was a huge relief. We came home to find him happy and healthy, couldn’t ask for more!”


7. Madison V.
“Madison is the best choice for your pet if you want them treated like family while you’re away. Before I moved downstate, Madison was caring for my dog on a fairly regular basis. My dog is a bit weary of people at first, but absolutely loved Madison. She is highly communicative, easy to get along with, follows instructions meticulously (I would leave an entire printed sheet of instructions for her to follow because I’m an annoying dog mom & she never missed a single thing), caring, etc.. I could go on forever. Now that we moved away, I know my dog misses her a ton. So if you are debating between which Rover to use for your pet, choose Madison! Your pet will thank you.”


8. Amber W.

“Amber is so great! She took such great care of our 14 1/2 year old lab. He requires a lot of help and attention due to his age and meds, and we have a hard time finding someone we know ‘gets’ it. Amber totally understood and Gordy was safe and very happy! She is dependable and made it so easy to work together. We will definitely use Amber over and over again!”


9. Kelly M.
“Kelly is amazing! Her love for all animals (especially dogs) is genuine and unconditional. If you're lucky enough to work with Kelly, you will be happy and so will your pet(s). Kelly seems to have a sense where she knows how my dog feels. Not kidding. Hire her.”


10. Anna C.
“Anna is a responsible and loving person who is the biggest animal lover I know. She will care for your fur babies like they are her own. I wouldn't hesitate to use Anna for dog walking/pet sitting needs.”




11. Megan S.
“I am so glad I came across Megan on Rover! She takes perfect care of my boy Mavrik when I'm out of town for work! She sends me tons of pictures of their adventures together when he is in her care.”




12. Katherine K.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Interlochen, MI. I have had dogs my whole life (2 golden's, 1 half pitbull/lab, and a beagle) and have loved them all very very much. I love taking dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them at the park. I also wouldn't mind taking them to the dog park so they could see all their friends! I am a responsible, caring person who genuinely loves animals and I work from home so have a flexible schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me :) Thanks! I work from home so have a flexible schedule! I can walk/play each day I available and work around my and your and your dogs schedule. I will watch your dog inside/outside, make sure they are safe, going potty (if outside), and staying within their parameters if they have an invisible fence.


13. Molly D.
“Molly is a very responsible young lady. She is great with the dogs. They took to her right away. She obviously knows how to handle them. My dogs get very excited when she comes to the house. They know they’re going to get to have some fun. They come home and sleep for hours after an afternoon with Molly. I think she tires them out. Really good peace of mind for me having her take care of them when I’m not able to.”


14. Jasmine H.
About: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)


15. Christina B.
“Christina has been my closest friend for over two decades. In addition to providing loving care to my four animals (two particular huskies and two rambunctious cats), I've observed her tender oversight for her own wide array of beloved pets over the years, including ducks, chickens, and dogs. These animals require a wide range of complex needs, and Christina dotes on them all with great skill and affection. My own animals always love that she's up for a long walk or a play session, and I feel at ease knowing they are perfectly safe and happy in her care.”


16. Hannah B.
“Hannah watched my family's two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days one time and she did a really great job! Hannah stayed at our house with our dogs. Both of our dogs had separation anxiety and Hannah's presence and affection towards them alleviated what could have been a traumatic experience of the dogs, who had never been separated from our family for any length of time. Additionally, our oldest dog at the time was on heart medication twice a day and Hannah was certain to maintain her medication routine throughout her stay. I've also known Hannah for most of my life and know her to be a caring, trustworthy, and responsible individual, and such a pet lover. Would 100% recommend her as a pet caregiver!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! From owning my own to taking care of others! I have taken a 4 month dog training course as well! I currently work an alternating work week schedule! I get between 2-5 days off a week! So I have plenty of time to spoil your pup with attention, exercise, and care I currently live in an apartment complex that has a dog park as well as a few near by.

18. Jill N.

“Jill has always taken excellent care of our kitties. She is very reliable and does a great job communicating their status and cares given. Lots of pictures too. We highly recommend her to watch over your pets!!”


19. Andrea L.
“Andrea is amazing with dogs. I have never seen a dog that didn't like her. She is very reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her.”
