1. Jamie S.

“Jamie is amazing! She stayed at our house and watched our 3 dogs for 4 and a half days and 3 nights while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left them all overnight. We all loved her when we first met and besides missing them, I never once worried about whether or not they were being well taken care of while we were away. I left a lot of notes and instructions that I was worried might have been too much, but Jamie really appreciated it. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures too. She took excellent care of our dogs and respected our home. We would definitely hire Jamie again! In fact, I am not sure if I would ever hire anyone else unless I absolutely had to. Thank you Jamie! 😃”


2. Kathryn R.

“Kat was amazing with our pup!!! She kept communication during the full stay, she was interested and supportive in maintaining the conditions and training process as well as excessive, play and eating timings of our dog! She is really loving and caring which helped create a bond with Luna. We were anxious with this first experience but Kat helped us enjoy our trip. Our pup was equilibrated and calmed when we came back home! We recommend her and will rebook when needed.”


3. Helen S.

“Helen took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats! I will definitely have Helen pet sit for us again!”

“Katie took great care of our dogs! It was so nice getting updates and pictures while we were gone. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we returned. Communication to set things up and throughout our vacation was easy.”

“Very attentive and communicated daily schedule…will be having Lillian watch Bo Duke again!!!!”


6. Genevieve N.
“I recommend Genevieve as your pet caregiver because she is punctual, responsible, respectful, caring, and she loves all animals. You will feel your animal(s) are safe with them in her care. She has one dog and five cats that she currently takes care of. She takes her own dog for walks to the park, for car rides, and cuddles at home. Your pet(s) will have the loving care you are looking for.”


7. Cera B.

“Cera made this first time Rover user at ease. She scheduled a meet up with me and worked with my schedule. She also sent pictures during her stay which was very appreciated. Will book again!”

“Ashton was perfect. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. That is a surprise as he is usually quite anxious when we leave. Thanks Ashton”


9. Claire F.
“Claire is a responsible, compassionate pet sitter. She has cared for our dogs, cat, chameleon & betta fish. Claire takes time to play with pets & gives them her attention. The pets absolutely love her!”

13. Joseph E.

“I went into a panic mode when we had a last minute trip come up and no one to watch our pups. Luckily someone told me about Rover and I ended up contacting Joseph. He came out so we could see how the dogs would react to him and we felt comfortable to have him take care of them. He messaged pictures and videos of our pups and made sure to let them play for a bit! I highly recommend having him watch your animals!”

“Kelli is absolutely amazing! This is the third time we’ve had her come over, and she takes wonderful care of my dogs! If you’re looking for a kind, caring person that understands the health and well-being of your animal, but no further highly recommend Kelli! And will continue to use her services”


16. Karen B.


“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”


17. Darby M.
“Darby is the most compassionate person with the biggest heart! Being a dog owner herself, she understands the responsibility and necessary care that comes along with walking/pet sitting your fur baby. Not only does Darby’s charming personality make her an excellent choice as your Rover, but her work ethic and reliability is unmatched. You’d be lucky to have Darby watching your animals!”


18. Kaylee J.
About: I’ve taken care of my family/friends dogs for years and love going for walks. I have taken care of German Shepards to small dogs like yorkies. I currently work as an RN in Kalamazoo MI and on my days off I love spending time outdoors walking dogs of any size or breed. I am a very trust worthy and responsible person. I am familiar with the Gull Lake area and would love to be able to walk more dogs!


19. Ally J.

“I will always book Ally for all of my house sitting needs! She’s always on time, she takes pictures and sends me updates and keeps my house nice and tidy! She is fantastic with Lucy and you can tell she has a real connection with animals! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Anyone would be lucky to have Ally look after their pets!”


20. Jessica S.

“I am so appreciative Jessica did a great job with our animals but especially my senior dog. He is a bit extra and she didn’t mind at all and helped keep his routine normal for me while I was gone. I recommend her and would definitely hire her again!”
