“Kara has done a great job of getting to know Luna and making her feel at ease when sitting with her. She is prompt and flexible with her schedule. We know Luna is safe and well cared for when Kara is with her. We’ll definitely have her sit with Luna more often!”
“So very thankful! Took care of our fur-babies without a hitch! Our dogs were very happy and content when we returned from a weekend away. Definitely recommend and will use again :) Thank you Cheyenne!!!”
“Nicole was caring and kind! She was exactly the right fit for my dog. Nicole provided detailed information during each check in and made sure she provided a lot of attention to Parker while we were away for a quick 2 day trip. Her focus and attention to him provided a safe and playful environment! Looks like they played a lot around in the backyard and snuggled. Nicole is the perfect person for your needs if you need someone to take care of your fur animals!! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)
“She was amazing and so helpful last minute!!”
“Very professional and punctual! I had a mishap with letting Amy in and she patiently waited and took good care of my little guy! I would recommend her”
About: I used to work at a vet clinic, so I am good with emergencies and handling special instructions. I am professional, organized, communicative and trustworthy. I work from home 99% of the time, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’ll hang out with your pets as long as needed. What you say goes and you know what is best for your pet, so tell me what you need and I’ll happily make it happen.
“I felt very comfortable that my boys were well taken care of! Ashley treated my babies like they were her own! I will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you for taking care of our Stormi girl while we where skiing your the best ! Definitely recommend her !”
About: I love animals! I took care of my own pets & those of friends and family before I began to professionally dog-sit in 2008. I do occasional cat care as well, which I began in 2007. I live with my partner, Michael & our dog, Kyro, at the top of Old Mission Peninsula. I work part-time to full-time in any given week, so I have a ton of variety with my schedule. This gives me the time to stop in & check on your doggies, care for them, play, sometimes go to the dogpark or other destination :) I provide pet care in the client's home via drop-ins. I also provide boarding for dogs and cats, and occasionally house-sit. I have oral med experience for both cats and dogs, though I have not given any medications intravenously yet. However, I'm open to being trained on how you administer the intravenous meds needed for your pet's proper medical care.
“Sara is always great with my girls! I love the peace of mind she offers, making sure they are well cared for during my long days at work. She is also very accommodating and flexible! Couldn’t be more satisfied!”
“Michelle took great care of our cat! Will book again”
“Michelle was very responsive to requests & questions. She did great w/my dog whom can be picky & protective, she handled him great!”
“Megan was always on time and communicated well during each visit including great pictures! Megan went above and beyond for our kitties making sure they got their meds and cleaning up after them. I will definitely re-book Megan in the future!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover raised in a household with different furry companions, I have an understanding and genuine affinity for animals to my pet sitting services. I take joy in forming connections with each animal I encounter. I embrace the opportunity to engage with them all. As an adult, I have continued to welcome pets into my life while also providing dedicated care for my family's beloved animals in their times of need. I have also done foster care with cats as well. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family members will receive personalized attention, genuine affection, and a trustworthy companion during your absence or on a long walk. I am able to be flexible with my time as I am off for the summer. My schedule is quite open and I can work around other times as well. I have 10 acres that back up to state land so most animals would have an open opportunity to run and get their energy out. I'm very close to trails as well.
“She went above and beyond for my pup!”
About: I’m a very experienced animal lover with 10+ years of experience working in veterinary hospitals. I work from home full time Monday - Friday so your pet would not be home alone often. I have a 2.5 year old yellow Labrador who loves to play! I live in my own house, have a big yard (not fenced but I have 60ft leads attached in the yard), and I live across from the beach. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - I’d love the opportunity to watch your pet! I work from home full time Monday - Friday so your pet won’t be home alone much. I have a flexible schedule so can take time for walks, potty, and playtime as often as needed. I have a large yard - not fenced but I have 60 ft leads. I live across from the beach so have water access to Lake Michigan to swim. I also have a 2.5 year old yellow Labrador who loves to play!
“Scott and Stephanie were great to work with. They communicated well, showed up for the full appointment time we booked, and took great care of our cat when we were out of town. All the stars, would book again.”
About: I’ve been dog walking, pet sitting and doing home check ins for friends family and coworkers since I was 10. Love getting out in nature on long walks or checking in on your pets if you have to be away all day! My 3-4 day work week allows me free time on Monday- Wednesdays for walks and check ins. I’m available most mornings! Occasionally available for house sitting or boarding. I have a large, tidy house where your dogs will be able to roam worry free. I live on a quiet street surrounded by woods and a park nearby, perfect for long walks and lots of trees to sniff without having to worry about street traffic.

“My dog Ackee loves her adventures with Shannon! Shannon has looked after Ackee in Santa Barbara, LA and Jackson Hole, WY. Ackee is high-energy and Shannon takes her for long hikes and to parks where Ackee can play with friends. Even while it was winter in Wyoming, Shannon always made sure Ackee got plenty of activity. Shannon gives Ackee constant love and is always looking out for her safety. Ackee notoriously tries to eat random food and items she finds on the ground and Shannon is extra attentive to make sure Ackee doesn't ingest anything she isn't supposed to. Shannon is a trustworthy and loving dog walker and is always prompt with pick ups and drop offs.”
