“Tracy did an amazing job! We always came home to a happy pup, and the pictures and updates throughout the day put our minds at ease. We definitely cannot thank or recommend Tracy enough!!”

“Christina was amazing!! Our little Charlie has had a tough few months since he lost his sister. It’s been quite an adjustment for him and when we would leave him, he would be so sad all the time. Christina did a drop in with him, and when we came home, he was a happy boy. She communicated very well with us, and when he met her for the first time he fell in love. I totally recommend her!!”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. Along with my own two girls, a senior dog and a senior cat. I have a huge heart for animals and love them to pieces. Would love to meet your furry friend Currently working part time during the week days. Would be able to check in / walk your buddy for you before work (9am) , on break around (12pm), or after work (4pm). Weekends fluctuate but will be available either in the morning or evening I treat every pet I meet like they’re my own. I will bring comfort and relief to your buddy whenever you need! I love spending time outside; throwing a ball, going on a run.
“Paris sent photos and a descriptive summary of my Kitty’s visits. Kitty went right up to her! Paris is an excellent communicator. We highly recommend Paris 😻”


“Ashley WAS amazing!!! She helped out last minute. She was extremely accommodating! She absolutely put my Bruno first and gave him the best care while we were away! I will absolutely be using Ashley again.”


About: I’ve had pets all my life. From lizards, to birds, cats and dogs, you name it. For the last 3 years I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends as an in house sitter. I am currently working full time, however, my work life is very flexible with flexible hours. I can do middle of the day check ins if that is what you would prefer with no problem. I do spend a lot of time with the pets late afternoons to late evenings if I am not staying in the residence. When caring for pets in your home, I encourage a very detailed day to day that your pet has so I do not break from that routine for them as much as possible. It’s my hope for you and your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No needs or routine is too inconsiderate for me.
“Edmy is our favorite cat sitter! She is always so kind and sends us lots of pictures! We have an older cat with medical issues and Edmy has always informed us of any issues or concerns she has about him. I know she truly cares for our kitties like we do. I use to worry about leaving our older cat, but since we have found Edmy I can rest easy knowing he is in the best hands. Our other cat loves to play and Edmy always tells us just how playful and fun he is. She sends lots of cute pictures of them playing together! Hands down the best sitter around!”

“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”

About: I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and a turtle! This lifelong exposure taught me that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. For the past few years, I’ve specialized in in-home pet sitting, offering both daytime visits and overnight stays to ensure your pets feel secure in their own environment. I am particularly experienced with high-energy and reactive pups. My own 'wild' puppy has taught me patience and various positive reinforcement training techniques, so I’m well-equipped to handle strong pullers or dogs who get a bit nervous on walks. Whether it's a calm senior cat or a zoomie-prone puppy, I know how to keep them engaged and safe. As a college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have the ability to step away for midday walks or check-ins, ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. During the summer months, I am out of school and only work a part-time job one day a week. This means I have nearly 24/7 wide-open availability for housesitting, extended stays, and frequent drop-ins to keep your furry (or shelled) friends company! I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being extremely cleanly and respectful of your space. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it (if not a little tidier!). Beyond the house, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I am hyper-vigilant during walks and always adhere to your specific household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and routine. I treat every 'pet child' with the same love, attention, and protection I give my own, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to provide structured, attentive, and compassionate care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. I am highly attentive to routines, behavior cues, and individual temperaments, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment for each dog in my care. My dog-sitting skills extend beyond basic supervision to include proper exercise, reinforcement of positive behavior, and close observation to ensure overall well-being. I approach every responsibility with professionalism, reliability, and clear communication, giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind that their dogs are receiving exceptional, dependable care in their absence I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care. While I am generally free during the week, I may occasionally have other commitments on weekends, though I communicate availability clearly in advance to ensure proper planning. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every aspect of the care I provide. My upstairs apartment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with close supervision at all times to ensure pets remain safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions provided, and I maintain a consistent and structured environment to reduce stress. My community offers designated areas for walking dogs, allowing for regular exercise in a controlled and safe setting. Through attentive care, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s expectations, I strive to create a secure, trusting, and welcoming home where pets feel comfortable and well cared for

“I can’t say enough good things about Farrah! She was absolutely incredible with my golden doodle, Goldie. Not only did she take her on a great walk and send the cutest updates, but she also went the extra mile—literally and figuratively. When I got home, I saw she had thoughtfully refreshed Goldie’s food and water bowls, and even spruced up her bed area so it was tidy and cozy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Farrah did. Goldie was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored her. I felt 100% confident and grateful knowing she was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.
About: I have owned and taken care of a lot of dogs in the past 10 years. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted that I take great care of their fur babies! I offer overnight care in your home as well as walking and drop-ins! I am a self employed hair stylist so I can pretty easily modify my schedule to accommodate you and your dogs personal needs! I work 4-5 days a week so I am looking for something to do in my free time. I always prefer to have a run-down on how you take care of your dog and understand your personal routine with the dog so that I can mimic that to the best of my ability.
Saint Marys River pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Tracy, he was exactly what my cat needed. He was patient and gentle with her, always cleaned her food bowl and refilled it, paid close attention to her water fountain, and made sure to play with her while also respecting her space when she wasn’t yet familiar with him. I would hire him again 100%.

Elliot was great to work with - very friendly, quick to respond, and flexible. Ozzy was very happy and well cared for when we got home. Elliot even helped us out with some deliveries and feeding our fish, as a last minute ask. We will definitely be in contact again for Ozzy-care the next time we're out of town! Thanks, Elliot!
