“Orbit love staying with Desirae. She takes amazing care of him and he is best friends with her dog, Porter. He loves her huge backyard and is always smiling in the many pictures she sends daily. Thanks Desirae!!”
“Sara was amazing! Really communicative and made everything so easy! Our dog loved the extra attention of having a whole family around seemed totally at ease. I would recommend Sara and John to anyone in the area!”
“Jordan took care of our pup for over a week, sending regular updates and pictures to show us how she was doing. He communicated well and was very accommodating to our schedule and our dog’s needs. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Just note that your dog might have so much fun that they’ll be sad to leave Camp Jordan!”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”
About: Hi, I have plenty of experience with my three grand-dogs. I am so good with them, my son suggested I sign up for Rover. The first dog is a border collie / flat coat retriever mix. She has spent overnights, and days with me at my home. I visit her daly for a walk and fun. The other two are golden retrievers. They come most of the time as a pair, Again I have had them for overnights, day time sitting and walks. I also spend time feeding my neighbor's two dogs, mainly getting them to sit for a treat. I am currently retired. My schedule is very fluid and flexible. I spend a lot of time on house/yard projects and spending time with my two son's families. I try to get goingearly and get outside. I do not have a fenced yard, sorry. With all of the dogs in my neighborhood, I keep my canine visators leashed, If your pet is with me I will make sure we get outside for some exploring the smells in my neighborhood.
“This was my first time using Rover and it was anxiety filled because my dog is a senior, 16 years old, and deaf and blind. He had also never been boarded. Brianna was lovely and made me feel comfortable leaving Jake with her and her family.”
“Was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience because of McKayla. She was great with my German shepherd dog, she took him on a walk and sent me lots of pictures.”
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter, sending photos & updates during my absence. My pup was happy to see me, but she also loved her time with the resident pup! We definitely want to see Melissa & Chiquita again.”
“Martha did an absolutely wonderful job watching my dog Mac! This was my first time using her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our initial meet and greet all the way through pickup, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. She sent me regular updates throughout the week to let me know how Mac was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to his personality and made sure he was comfortable, getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. It was honestly so nice hearing how quickly Mac settled in and made himself at home! It was clear throughout his stay that Mac was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Martha, and I was so happy knowing he was in such a loving environment while I was away. Martha was wonderful about keeping me updated and making sure Mac was happy and comfortable throughout his entire stay. I really appreciated how much care and attention she gave him, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed having him around. I would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time Mac needs someone to stay with!”
“I am so pleased to have found Adriana. She took great care of our dog Reeba and we plan to continue using Adriana’s services in the future too. I will recommend Adriana to everyone.”
“My dog has stayed with Anthony twice now and always has a great time. Anthony is great about sending pictures and updates. The most recent time my dog stayed with him, I had an emergency that kept me from getting my dog on the scheduled day, but Anthony was kind enough to extend his stay!”
“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“My dog, Pretzel, enjoyed his stay with Julie and friends. She is a great dog person. That is to say she was cheerful, relaxed and attentive to my dog. He got his exercise in and made himself at home.”
“Nichelle has watched my 100lb great Pyrenees along with both of my cats and I'm pretty sure they would rather stay with her! Her, along with her family, absolutely adore my fluffy dog and I wouldnt ask anyone else to watch him. He is always excited to stay with them and has multiple times! Highly recommend if you want someone to watch your animals that will treat them like their own.”
About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!
“My dog had such a FUN time! I loved the pictures and videos they sent throughout the day! I not once worried about my baby boy, I knew he was in safe hands!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Johns home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Johns.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Saint Johns sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
