“Gabrielle took such great care of my cats while we were gone! She is so responsive, and sent lots of picture updates. I recommend her 1000000%!! Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs both large and small for 10 years for friends and family, both in their home and my own. Willing to walk, play, feed, water, administer basic medications or just provide companionship. Trustworthy, compassionate and reliable. I currently work Monday to Friday but have open availability all day on weekends as well as weekdays after 6pm. I have my own dog and cat as well. I do live in an apartment so would be limited to one dog in my home. I have a 24 pound Cavachon who is friendly with all dogs. I walk my dog multiple times a day and would give yours the same care. I also have a medium kennel if your dog requires that for short absences if that is an option. At a clients home I can play with the pet in a fenced yard or offer 30-60 minute walks multiple times a day. Will feed, play, clean up after pottying, and will give your pet plenty of love and pets!!
“Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and worked in the veterinary field for over 16 years. I’ve completed multiple hours of continuing education, cared for elderly pets, understand signs of illness, and have trusted resources available for emergencies. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic but have flexibility. Early mornings and after 6pm is best for me. Weekends I am usually free all day. When caring for your pets in your home, I will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’ll follow their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, administer medications as instructed, keep their environment clean, and give them plenty of companionship and affection. With over 16 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that a pet may not be feeling well. I’ll keep you updated during my visits and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
“Alexis is always amazing with our cat, Trixie. She takes great care of her and sends us updates, photos, and videos. We know Trixie loves spending time with her.”
“I would recommend Lindsay to anyone who needs a sitter! She was so attentive and took notes while we walked her through the house. Our cats are very introverted so I thought they would hide from her the whole time, but was delighted to see that she got both of them out of their shells! You can tell how much she loves animals, she even fed our turtle for us! 10/10! Thanks Lindsay!”
About: I have a long long history with dogs. I have had pitbulls all my life and I will forever hold a place for them in my heart! I love all dogs truly. I am open to cats if they are friendly 😅! I do work a 9am-4pm work shift and don’t get home usually until 4:45pm. I am open to drop ins and anything else that helps your travel time truly! I can do frequent walks as soon as I wake up, before I leave for work and any time after I am home from work. Weekends I am usually freed up with a lot of time so I don’t mind walks or anything needed for your pet☺️. I live in an apartment so frequent walks is something i’m completely okay with. I would say if you have pets that don’t work well with prolonged times not using the bathroom I wouldn’t be a great fit just do to my day to day work schedule. Weekends are completely free! I’m comfortable giving medicine on a schedule, long walks or baths or anything your pet may need so you can be worry free! I do have a son that has been around big and small dogs and i’m comfortable training or correcting if needed! Just know any dog or cat is in great hands with me☺️❤️!

“Absolutely wonderful!! She did a great job taking care of our pups and it was amazing not having to leave the dogs while traveling. Even though they are low maintenance, she did an awesome job giving the dogs lots of love and care!”
About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home

Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️
Libby is our go-to pet sitter for our cat. She gives her lots of pets & attention in addition to her daily care routine. She also helps us with our outdoor friends in terms of feeding the birds & squirrels. We feel extremely comfortable with Libby caring for our cat while we are out of town.
Emma, Was a gem! She was so kind and deligent about her care for our fur son. He had never been left by himself so the mom guilt was real. Her services our wonderful and her heart is extra! She was communicative, understanding and flexible. In addition to that, our Furbo clocked her as our Marty’s new favorite person. We will absolutely be using her services again!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
