“Amy is an amazing pet sitter!! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog and cat in her care. She gave updates and photos with each visit, and even got our mail and took out our trash. We will definitely book her services again!”
“As I started a new job being away from home for many hours, my wife and I rushed to find someone to drop in on our Golden Retriever. In less than 24-hrs after meeting Emi-Lu, she became part of our family. Emi-Lu asked so many questions, showed deep care, and even left us a special note. She was so detailed and so caring. I know that Finn is safe and well taken care of when he is in Emi-Lu’s care. Her passion for animals, her empathy, and her attention to detail are unmatched!!!”
“Theresa did a GREAT job! My cat Zoey clearly enjoyed her visits and she even brought her a new toy! Plus, she brought in our packages and mail 2 weeks before Christmas! Such a wonderful sitter!”
“Kara was amazing to work with and took such fantastic care of my 2 kitties while I was out of town! It was clear they were well cared for and she attended to every detail! Communication was also very good!”
“Makaila was absolutely fantastic watching our cat for five days. Our cat is a rescue stray, off the streets, and is very skittish. She went above and beyond to try to make friends and to put my cat at ease. She was on time, super friendly, made sure to do a meet and greet before the scheduled pet sitting, and made sure my cat was well fed, and played ball with her. Truly can’t recommend her enough! Your pet is in wonderful hands with her!”
“Thank you Kristi&Jason for taking good care of our puppies! First time using this service and they were so kind and helpful and the puppies had a great time. I even got a breakdown of each puppy after the visit. Will be using again!”
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets and also other peoples pets. I have had two cats and dogs most of my life. I love hanging out with them when I am home I am currently a college student and I would love to help in anyway I could. I love meeting new people and keeping owners and dogs happy. I make sure to ask as many safety questions I can about how to walk your dog properly. I also make sure to look for safe and great routes for me to walk your dog on.
About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachel. Her vet tech experience put me at ease when I had to spend a night away from my cat when she was recovering from surgery (and needed 4 different medications administered). Rachel was professional and very caring. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for 2 years and would love to offer compassionate care & endless love & cuddles to yours as I know what it is personally like only wanting to trust your pup with the best! I’m currently taking some time off from corporate work as my husband & I recently moved to MI. My availability might change a little bit overtime but right now I am very flexible for endless walks and care. I have a (small) fenced in yard and a very friendly goldendoodle who loves to play with new friends! I can accommodate a crate and anything else needed to make your fur baby comfortable.
About: I've been dog sitting for years and also have a large Lab/Dane mix and would treat your family member like my own. I will make sure that your dog is properly cared for while in my care.

I would care for your pet as if they were my own. I love dogs and I will make sure that whether I'm walking your dog or doing a drop in, that I will make it an enjoyable experience for you and your dog.
“We travelled and asked Arden to visit our place to take care of our cat during our absence, while following up on the cameras. Arden was there every scheduled day, fulfilled her duties, sent us reports and spend some time bounding with our cat ( which is temperamental to say the least ), so it does not fell so lonely/ depressed. We could travel with peace of mind. We really recommend Arden to take care of cats.”
About: I’ve worked for people in my neighborhood and they love what I do and l love there pets too and I’m trusting and I take really good care of there pets. It gives me a sense of responsibility and I take it seriously and I wanna do a good job at it. And I would love to work around pets more then people and when I do it it doesn’t feel like work for me, it feels like something I love to do. I take care of my two cats by giving them a strict diet and I fallow the instructions to the letter and I make sure there litter boxes are as clean as possible so I’m always on top of things.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 20 years. I’ve read training books and love them just like my own dog. I will treat your dog like a VIP- Very Important Pup! I can care for dogs anytime after 5. I can take them on nice long walks that are enriching. I will make sure your pup has fun and is nice and tired. I will make sure your pet is safe and care for them just like as they were my dog. Dogs are truly loyal and kind and need to be cared for.
“Our experience with Laura H. was our first with Rover. She came to our house prior to needing her services to meet us and our dogs. She was wonderful! Kept us updated each day with photos. We will certainly request her again.”

Emi-Lu is the best on Rover. She came over even though I am home with a medical issue. She walked our dog and he was so happy to see her; it made his day! Emi-Lu always goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her enough. She does this for the animals because she adores animals.
