“Barb was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures and was so great to work with. Brownie had so much fun staying with her overnight. He came home and was exhausted from all of his playtime and fun! We will most definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs for two years, and I really enjoy it. It’s an activity that makes me happy. I am currently available on weekends, but I can review your specific needs. I will take your pet for walks, play with them, and care for them with affection. I don't have a fenced yard, but I care for and walk the animal with great attention. I don't have any pets of my own—just two children, aged 6 and 10, who love animals. My home is very spacious and comfortable.
“Reed and Natalie were great to work with. They were both very kind and worked with my dog that is a little kiddish around new people. They took the time to slowly get her to come out of her shell. They sent many text updates, photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Reed and Natalie again!!”
About: Experienced in leading dogs big and small, young and old, well-mannered and not. Waking, sitting, drop ins, day care, and training. Deep understanding of dog psychology. Open to any specific requests, flexible with pet parents. I’m currently a full time trainer and pet sitter. I have a relatively flexible schedule. You’re welcome to send me messages about dates and about your pet. I’ll do my best to help out! I live in a large house, multiple floors. I have a large backyard with a leash anchor. Your pet will be my main focus for the duration of their stay whether it be training or sitting. The same goes for sitting or training in your home as well. I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.
About: I have had dogs in my life for 57 years. I have had 2 miniature poodles and 2 standard poodles. I have trained them all. I currently do door dash part-time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loved pet. I have time to walk your dog, play with your dog and even train your dog if you’d like. I have a nice yard, and I live in a beautiful modular home park. We have a dog park here for your dog to play.
“Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”
“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“Anna was great! She kept us very up to date in the dogs and how they were settling in and behaving the whole stay! I could tell that she and her family really loved and cared for the dogs. I highly recommend Anna to watch your pets!”
“We are so lucky to have found Heather! She gives daily updates of our pets and sends videos and pictures, which makes our time away a lot less difficult. She truly cares about our pets!”
About: Currently I own 10 cats, 1 dog, and a pet rat business (Rem’s Rattery). I have experience with dog training, walking, engaging behaviors, socialization, puppy manners, and exercise. I have self trained my service dog and am mentored by Super Powers Canine Academy (SD recently washed from service due to leg pain). My husband will be in the home at the time of in-home services has hands on experience at shelters and vet care for various animals, but mainly cats and dogs. I currently use pet-sitting as a full-time job as I want to invest myself fully into caring for your fur babies! I am available at all times of the day (and night) to work with your schedule as-needed. By choosing me for your pet’s care, you can expect pictures of your pet each visit and reinforcement of any training that is a work in progress. When coming to your home I will be sure to respect your environment and ensure your pet is taken care of thoroughly to prepare for your return.
“I visited Maddy and her husband before the scheduled visit and felt comfortable with them. They were great. Daisy was happy and well cared for. I loved the updates and pictures they sent.”
“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”
“It’s always a pleasure working with JoAnn and Michael. My dog is very comfortable there and I know she will be safe. I get updates and pictures. It’s wonderful knowing that I have a reliable place for my dog when I take a vacation.”
“Highly recommend kristen. She was awesome. She sent daily updates and pictures and treated my girl like she was her own dog. Thanks again kristen. I will definitely use you again when i need a dog sitter.”
“Daryle is kind, responsive and my Harley seemed to enjoy his stay. Much thanks to Daryle for helping out in a pinch when I couldn't care for my own pup while recovering from COVID vaccine reaction and my sweetheart was out of town.”
“Nick was great! He was very responsive via the rover app and sent us pictures of our precious senior boy daily. Nick was able to provide our 14yr old dog extra attention because of his old age which made us very comfortable and relaxed while we were away. 10/10 would recommend as a great, reliable dog sitter.”

Portage pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth did a wonderful job sitting with Nova. There were other dogs there that Nova got along with perfectly well. I liked that she sent me pictures and videos so I wouldn’t be worried. I would highly recommend her to sit for your fur babies. She has a wonderful personality as well.
Becky was incredible! She was very communicative about everything going on with our very young puppy and was attentive to all of their needs. Becky was very flexible in scheduling and reassured us at every step of the process. Would recommend to all friends and family without hesitation!
The best home for my 2 special-needs dogs I could have hoped for! Pictures and videos and updates on how they were doing every day. I could tell they were in a really loving home with Kathy and Bob. I don’t think my pals wanted to come home! Highly recommend 10/10
