“Again, she is the best! We have a 11 years old dog and a kitty and they both love her. I trust her for everything. I couldn’t have peaceful holidays without her!”


2. Nadya S.

“Nadya was very responsible and managed my senior kitty’s complicated medication regimen perfectly! Everything was neat and clean when we got home and the kitty seemed happy.”




3. Megan L.

“Megan was a fantastic caretaker for our two cats! She was able to get them to come out of their shell while we were gone and she went the extra mile. Looking forward to booking again in the future!”


4. Hannah & John K.
“Hannah has been watching my sweet pug Fran for years now and I can’t imagine anyone else caring for her while we are gone. Fran gets excited to go over there and gets treated like one of that family. Hannah is wonderful with communicating with me and send updates constantly as well as photos. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, she makes being away from your fur baby a lot easier. Thanks Hannah for being so wonderful to my little Fran!”


5. Erica E.


“Erica was a stellar caregiver! Our dog Hudson of 15 years enjoyed having her over and she took very good care of him. We trust Erica and will be requesting her again for sure on our next trip. Thank you so much Erica for your kindness and care!”


6. Jodi M.

“Jodi took such great care of our pup. She has a sweet demeanor that dogs respond to. She is experienced and lovely. Appreciated the updates and pictures. Can't wait to use you again!”


7. Laura G.

“We are so pleased with Laura’s communication, compassion, and character. She is an amazing sitter who treats our Maverick like her own. He is a high energy pup and she always makes sure he lets out his energy during her drop in care. She takes him for walks/runs, plays fetch at the dog park, and always makes sure he is hydrated after they get back. We love having her and so does Maverick!”


8. Zoe G.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was very young and naturally have been accompanied by them my whole life. I care for my own dogs and have since I was 15, as well as cared for neighbors animals while they were on vacation since 16. I’m great at caring and meeting the needs of animals such as walking, playing, feeding and bathing them. I am in college full time although I would love to meet and care for your dog during my time off. My most common schedule is Friday-Monday I am available. I have had dogs my whole life and understand that they all come with different personalities that need to be accounted for individually. Meeting the needs of each animal is my top priority weather that be on a walk or caring for them while their owners are away.


9. Isabella E.
“Bella has a way with dogs that I haven’t seen in anyone I know. My dog is quite antisocial but Bella got her to warm up to her quickly and became one of my dog’s favorite people. She listens to and respects my dog’s boundaries and is the perfect mixture of responsible and caring.”


10. Alexandra N.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter who had regularly cared for pets for the past three years. After my first two years I became a grooming assistant at my local pet spa, which not only grew my knowledge on how to care for animals, but my love for them as well! I would love to watch your fur-baby and treat them as my own. I have school most weekdays in the middle of the day, making the morning, late afternoon, and evening the perfect time for me to check in and walk your animals! I will come to your home to care for your pets and follow your preferred feeding and care routine. For client safety, I prefer that you provide a lockbox with a key so that your key always stays with your property. If you like I will send photos and updates of your wonderful pet!


11. Maria H.

“Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.”


12. Verona J.


“Verona was absolutely incredible with my dog Luca! She was able to help us out pretty short notice and come take care of my pup for an hour, 3X per day! She would often come early and leave late, play ball (fetch), go for long walks, make sure he was eating & drinking water, etc. She truly cares about dogs and it shows. She also keeps in constant contact, and keeps great notes, which helps ease your mind while traveling. Do not hesitate to book Verona, she’s amazing! 10/10!”


13. Perla Y.

“Perla was awesome with Paul. She definitely took care of him and spent some time with him during our trip. Paul is normally shy and nervous but he warmed up with Perla fast. I will definitely call her back for future sits. ??”


14. Troy C.
About: Hi, I’m Troy, an experienced animal caregiver and the proud owner of a rescue sanctuary in the beautiful foothills of Iron Mountain. Animals are my passion, and I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals. Whether your pet needs a cozy staycation, extra exercise, or lots of love, they’ll feel right at home here! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I host an animal rescue and sanctuary. Every day starts with feeding, cleaning, and ensuring all animals in my care are happy and healthy. Throughout the day, I spend time socializing with them, providing exercise, enrichment, and any necessary medical care. Because of this, I’m always present and attentive to the needs of the animals I look after. For pets staying with me through Rover, they’ll be seamlessly integrated into my routine—whether it’s supervised playtime in my spacious outdoor area, relaxing in a cozy indoor space, or going on walks tailored to their energy levels. I’m experienced in balancing the needs of multiple animals while providing individualized care and attention. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my lifestyle! In my home, pets receive personalized care in a spacious, enriching environment. I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by providing cozy resting areas, plenty of supervised outdoor space, and a structured routine that includes feeding, playtime, and exercise tailored to their needs. If a pet enjoys socializing, I carefully introduce them to friendly rescue animals, but I always respect each pet’s comfort level. For pets in my client’s home, I follow their established routine to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep the home tidy, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family!

“We could not have asked for a better sitter for Pippa! Alicia was on time, gave us great detail and photos for each visit, and Pippa seemed genuinely happy when we got back home. Would love to have her help us again!!”


16. Sage L.

“Sage is just thr sweetest... she came over to care for our cat, Cheesy at the times I requested. We got photos of him at each visit. He clearly enjoyed her visits. She fed him as asked and also helped with an unexpected package I received while gone. I would highly recommend Sage!”




17. Kelcy U.

“We couldn’t have felt any more confidence in Kelcy. She was fantastic to work with and we so appreciated her terrific care of our cat, Felix. She was so sweet with her. We won’t hesitate to have Kelcy come during our next travels. Thank you Kelcy!!!”


18. Nicole S.

“Nicole was wonderful! She visited my two cats and she was very accommodating and flexible with my changing schedule. I got photos and details for every visit. My cats were very comfortable with her as well :)”


19. Tanya G.
“Tanya was very good with our dogs. She made the visit fun and safe. Our dogs were tired from the day with her! We will definitely be using her again”


20. Anya A.
About: I have only taken care of one dog professionally but I have 3 dogs and know how to take care of chaotic dogs. I have bathed and fed my dogs for 12 years. I work part time but I am free in the evenings to walk, feed , and hang out with the animals. I also go to school but that doesn’t start until February I play the pets and make sure they are always occupied if need be. If they look sad I make sure to pet and give them a lot of belly rubs.
