“Keri stops by every morning for an hour to keep an eye on Sophie and play with her while I'm working. She's always on time, super kind, understanding, and great with my new puppy as she's getting accustomed to morning routines. Keri has been a lifesaver for me. Really appreciate her!”
“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”
“Izzy did great! Always kept me updated on my cat and made sure to send plenty of pictures! My cat can be a little picky with people, but he really seemed to enjoy her company!!”
“Regan is a wonderful pet sitter. He did drop in visits for us and was great at communicating with us and giving us updates. He took great care of our rabbit and everything was so clean when we got home. He took in our mail which was totally above and beyond. Absolutely booking with Regan again.”
“Highly recommend!!! I chose Erin because of all the positive reviews and she did not dissapoint! Erin was wonderful and went above and beyond for what I expected. I couldn't have asked for a better person than her. I will use her again when I need to travel! Thank you Erin!”
“***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.”
“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”
“Mairin is beyond reliable, so great with communication and she takes great care of my Stella girl, and she’s just a sweetheart! It’s nice to have people who you know will treat your pup like their own, and I know Mairin does just that!”
About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. We love animals and helping out fellow animal lovers. I have experience administering insulin to diabetic animals, feeding/watering and walking.

Currently I work 3 days a week at a hospital in Ann Arbor but do not have a set schedule. My husband works from home full-time Pets are allowed on furniture and the bed in our home. Our yard is fenced, allowing for ample playtime outside. We currently have a 2 year old dog of our own and a 4 year old cat that is very dog friendly.
About: Ive owned a cat since I was in high school (I’m halfway through college now) and I’ve taken care of family friends’ dogs for a while. I do go to college full time and work part time but my schedule is open for multiple hours each day so I can check in with your pet multiple times a day. I will do exactly as asked in your home and make sure your dog is happy and cared for. I will make sure they are fed and walked
About: I have had dogs my entire life! I live in an area where there are trails to take walks on and a dog park to play at! My goal is to make sure that your pet is loved and taken care of during your time away from them! I work at a full time job, but I am off at a decent time and have plenty of time during the weekends to play, walk, and take care of your fur baby! I make sure that I get up in time to make sure that I can give about 30 minutes of play before work and that they are fed in a timely manner.
“Kristine was so great with my cat Sushi! She helped him with his electronic water bowl that fell over and was very sweet to him. Thank you so much and will ask again in the future! :)”
About: I’ve cared for furbabies of mine and others’ since I was a little girl. My family had a small farm and we have always cared for animals. Snakes and chickens too! Animals are gifts to this world, and I’m honored with the opportunity to spend more time with them. I’m currently self-employed, so have plenty of time to work around your schedule and your furbabies needs. I live a very active lifestyle and happy to being your pet with me to the woods or on a walk to the park. If you have special requests I’m happy to help! I offer daycare at my home and sleepovers for pets in my/your home. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a big back yard, near the river and lots of room to play!
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare before. I shadowed a vet. I have my own dog, Nash, who is a Siberian Husky. I’ve dealt with meds, food schedules, and much more. I’m a Pre-Vet college student and work part time, so this is just a means to make extra money. I figured it would be fun because who doesn’t love meeting new pups? I have a dog who LOVES to play with others. He is a Siberian Husky, so he will def wear them out! Haha. He also has plenty of toys to share!
About: I took care of my neighborhood dogs growing up anytime my neighbors would go out of town (both dog sitting and walks for 3 dogs). I am so excited to meet your pets! I also have a 2 year old who loves dogs. I'd be happy to bring her along if you are child training or just want your dog to feel extra love! I have a very flexible schedule so pet care can fit in almost anytime! I love to involve my toddler on walks and play times, but I can also do walks and visits on my own if you'd prefer. I'm happy to accommodate your preferences! I like to maintain as much of a normal routine for your dog as possible. I am comfortable crating, feeding, brushing, and playing inside or outside.

Whitney & Nathan F.
“Is there such thing as too pet friendly? If so, Nathan and Whitney fit that category. They have watched our dog and treated him as if he were their own on multiple occasions. Their dog, Stanley, gets along great with him and provides for great companionship. Their backyard has so much space for the dogs to run around and play together—bonus is that it’s fenced! I was also surprised at the photos I received of their cat (Morty) and my dog, Crosby! He is just as friendly with the guests as Stanley is. 10/10 recommend Whitney and Nathan. They provide many pictures and videos and continue to create the ultimate rover experience. I plan to book with them from here on out when needed!”
Carly L.
“carly has her own cat and she adores her with a tender heart and gentle love. she’s always taking care of her “sweet babyyy” and would do anything to make sure she’s ok. she cleans up her litter boxes every day, and constantly makes sure her food and water are always full. carly has a level of responsibility with pete that is unmatched by any, she treats pets like royalty and loves to be around them!”

“Spent time playing with my cat. Was on time and reliable.”
Audra B.
“I’ve know Audra for a while now and I find her to be very responsible, reliable, as well as punctual. I’ve seen how she takes care of her own pet and I would recommend her to take care of other pets as well. She’s a very kind, compassionate, and loving person who is no different with animals. I trust her and how well she does and will take care of another person’s animal(s).”
