“Shanta was very loving and caring towards my puppy. She took wonderful care of her and kept me informed- even sending me pictures and videos during the day. She is very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had about general puppy care. I will absolutely use her again!”

About: Hello, my name is Samantha! I am excited to offer loving and safe care to your pets while you’re away. I have experience taking care of a a range of animals in my life. From kittens, chickens, fish to senior dogs and bearded dragons. I have many years of experience with my own cats as well as a senior dog. I took care of her till her last days. I have sitted for several dogs and cats. I’ve even gone across the country to sit for someone’s dog! Animals give us so much and it is only right we give them the best love and care. It would be my honor to care for your furry family member. I will make sure they never feel alone and I’ll treat them like my own. As a freelance artist/photographer for 15 years, I have a flexible schedule. My cat Rue is always by my side when im at home. We have a nightly and morning routine. I spend quality time and play with your pet so they have enrichment and dont feel lonely. I have an emotionally needy cat at home who is always at my side in whatever I do
About: I love animals and caring for them. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I will make sure your pet feels safe loved and comfortable while you are away. Whether its walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, your pet will get the attention it deserves. I am currently a college student with most of my classes being online so I am home most of the week and when I have class I am only gone for a few hours. I have a pet free home with a large yard. Even though I do not have I fenced in yard, I will make sure that when taking your pet outside it will either be on a leash or a rope. I will follow all your directions to ensure your pet's safety with me.
About: I’m a former teacher and love all sorts of animals. I grew up with dogs and we used to have an awesome yellow Labrador named Zoie. When she passed, my heart needed time to heal and we got busy with raising our son and his activities that we didn’t have time to dedicate to training a puppy. Our neighbor recently got a puppy and my son and I have been helping them out with potty breaks while they are unable to get home to let him out, and she mentioned needing to fine someone on Rover when we couldn't help out. So the idea was born, we thought it would help us get our puppy/dog fix and allow us to love on other people’s pets. We could have it all! My husband has a flexible schedule to work with welcoming dogs and ensuring they are able to use get potty breaks while I work outside the home. We don’t have a fenced yard but will gladly take your dog out on a leash to use the bathroom, so they must be able to go while on a leash.
“Scout had a great day at doggie daycare! We took her for the day to see how she would do since we are boarding her with Emily in 2 weeks and this is her first time. From the pictures I received, she looked like she had a blast. Very friendly with the other dogs and became acquainted and comfortable there very quickly! We are happy to have found a pet sitter for our occasional trips we cannot take her on. I am confident she will be in great hands. Thanks Emily!”

About: With over 12 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
“This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly was great at explaining everything and making me and my dog feel comfortable. We did day care to see how my dog would do before boarding and it went well. Plus she sent many pictures & videos. Oakley is excited to come back again!”

“Had a great experience with David! He was incredibly kind and flexible. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy—taking her for a car ride, going on walks, and giving her plenty of attention. It was clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”

“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a small child. Since living on my own I have owned 4 dogs that I have cared for. Two golden retrievers and two Havanese. I work from home so I will be home with the pets often. I will have plenty of time for playtime and walking. I also have two small dogs who they can play with. We do not have a fence but can tie the dogs up on a tie out or walk them on a leash to go potty. We have two small female dogs (Havanese) that are very friendly and playful.
“Lauren and Kevin were great. Theo did a meet and greet and it went well with day care visit following. Communication was great. Will definitely be bringing him back.”

About: I have taken care of many animals since I was about 11 and have always loved being around them! I have worked for a rescue for cats and dogs found in Detroit finding the dogs homes and catch and release for the feral cats. I’ve fostered many animals until they have found homes. I have recently fostered a dog who has puppies and has since been adopted♡ ◡̈ I can do boarding on the weekends or overnight throughout the week I have a fenced in yard so I have plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play.

About: I have been caring for animals since i was young. I do everything from walking and playing to bathing and grooming. Also, I am very understanding that different pets have different personalities and I am very patient with that. I am currently working part time for the airport (4am - 8am) but the scheduling is messed up so I am free anytime you need! I have a little yard out front to let my dog get fresh air. Also, there is a dog park literally 5 minutes away walking for your pup to run around and play. I also have a crate for small to medium sized dogs that can be used if needed. I have a good amount of toys and stuffed animals as well.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have a 9 month old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.
“Michele and her husband are such caring people and loved our little one so well. Our little one isn’t the easiest and they were very patient with her and took good care of her. I highly recommend using Michele to care for your pet.”
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”

About: I can train puppies to sit, stay, potty train also. I have always been an animal lover and get along great with any type of dog. Your dogs will have access to my backyard at all times. I am available from 8am-10pm at my house with drop offs. If you need an overnight watch I need at 48 hr notice ahead of time. I provide walks and can help train them with harnesses or just a leash. I am close to a nature trail for great walks and nice dog accepted parks. I can do dogs nails, bathing and brushing as far as grooming goes. If you have any special request not listed I am flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Thanks!

Shanta was very loving and caring towards my puppy. She took wonderful care of her and kept me informed- even sending me pictures and videos during the day. She is very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had about general puppy care. I will absolutely use her again!

Chelsea was a delight and I am very happy to have chosen her to watch over my little Jazzy (my Pom) while I was away from home attending onsite meetings for work. She was very attentive from the start and he took to her immediately. She actively engages with the pets and she sent multiple pics throughout the day. I am definitely going to reach out to Chelsea the next time I need daycare assistance for my Jazzy!

Kristin is a fantastic host. Awesome communication and even more importantly Ginger seemed to take to her immediately. Upon our second drop off Ginger was excited to see her. The home is very welcoming and she even provided some things for Ginger to play with. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Kristin is Ginger’s go to from here on out.
