Sadie did a great job with our pets. She was always on time and sent us reports and pictures after every visit. We had to extend our booking for 2 visits which she gladly accepted. Will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently own a dog myself, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as a member of the family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. I’ve personally trained puppies and enjoy helping reinforce good habits, routines, and basic manners through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and walks with a focus on safety, reliability, and communication. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and having a great time. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. My schedule allows me to be available most weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. This gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding while providing reliable, attentive care. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. As a pet owner myself, I know that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. For boarding, pets become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care requests. During walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. I also provide regular photo and message updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had a dog my entire life. I have cared for dogs for three years and enjoy caring for multiple dogs at a time. There are very few times where your dog or cat would be left alone. My normal schedule for letting out dogs is every two hours. My back yard is fully fenced with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. Your dog will have access to fresh water, couches, dog beds, and treats! I don't crate unless asked. I do charge a cleaning fee if anyone has frequent accidents or marks.

First off Heather and Robert are so kind. We instantly knew they were a blessing. All four of our pets instantly warmed up to them. Even our more antisocial cat! They both are very knowledgeable about dogs and helped us find good toys/ treats for both our heavy chewers. Secondly, while we were gone they sent a lot of updates and pictures! We appreciated it a lot since we missed our furbabies. We would highly recommend them for anyone who is in need of pet care.

About: Lifelong dog owner and dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments — from gentle seniors and energetic puppies to reactive or anxious dogs who need extra patience and understanding. My background includes dog walking, pet sitting, fostering, and hands-on ownership, giving me the experience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog is happy, exercised, and well cared for every time! I’m currently employed full time, but am fairly flexible weekdays after noon and weekends. I would love to fit some walks/visits into my weekly routine, but will also be on the lookout for walks to break up my workday! We do have a fenced in yard, and the most friendly GSP who loves to play zoomies when we have dog visitors. In your home, I will give your dog lots of love and pets, but also follow any guidelines you set. It is important that dogs know what is expected of them across the board!

About: I am always smiling brightly every time I have the opportunity to be with an animal. (I have many photos of this to share!) I love all types of these precious beings! Some of my life experiences include: Parenting Dogs, Cats, Kittens, Lizards, and Senior Pets. I have assisted in kitten birth and successfully bonded with, and adopted a feral kitten who (still) adores me... Yay! 😁 I have also cared for a very sick lizard who required a lot of care by myself for a few long months. All types of animals seem to be attracted to me, including... dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, donkeys, goats, possums, squirrels, etc. I love the saying, "If animals are drawn to you, it's not random. They can sense good energy and are naturally drawn to calm and safe vibes." I have been a volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society and I am also a medical professional (for humans). *Disclaimer: My '30' years of experience is personal, not professional. 📆 My typical availability might be something like: M-Th evenings 6-9pm (I may arrive in medical scrubs), Friday afternoon 10am-3pm and some Saturdays and Sundays.✨ This schedule is not definite, not always available and varies. Sometimes I will even be available other times. I will keep my calendar date availability as close to accurate as possible but times can't be scheduled daily so they won't be accurate in my calendar, unfortunately. 📆 🏠 House sitting can also 'sometimes' be booked with notice if not marked 'Unavailable' in my calendar, even though that service is not activated in my profile. 🏠 👍🏾 Since I am attempting to transition from human care to animal care, I still work full time (plus) in the Human Healthcare field and my work schedule varies. 👍🏼 🐈‍⬛ I have always had a strong desire to work with animals and I am hoping to finally transition from human care to animal care. I did not choose to work medically with animals as my career because I prefer to interact with animals and enjoy what they bring to the world, rather than do restraining and invasive procedures on them. 🐶 I am pretty intuitive about what makes an animal happy (and not) and I would make their time with me as awesome as I possibly can! Additionally, I would happily engage farm animals, birds, and others to my full ability!

About: I have owned dogs and cats and love them like children. I love to play and cuddle with them. I am good at spoiling them and also make sure they get their routine checkups. Also have had their teeth cleaned and use flea prevention. I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats over the years on and off. I love to walk, the more the better. I also donate to rescue agencies to help them care for those in need. I am self employed so my hours vary and are fairly flexible. I don't ever work long hours so I am always available up to a few times a day or could possibly do overnight stays. I have 2 cats at home so it's best if I take care of yours in your home..It's still possible I could take them in mine if introduced and they get along. I follow directions well and give a lot of attention..

About: Hi! I’m a mom of two with a big heart for animals and a lifelong love for pets of all kinds. I’ve been caring for furry friends through Rover for over 6 years, and I’m so excited to be welcoming pets back into our home again! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a little extra patience and TLC. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, the silly ones, the snugglers, and the shy souls too. To make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve, I only care for one pet at a time. Your pup will get plenty of love, daily walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of cuddles in a calm, family style environment. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to give yours a happy, safe, and fun stay while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. Walks, outdoor time, feeding, play, and cuddles are built into our daily schedule, so pets are never left alone for long. Because I only care for one pet at a time, I’m able to easily adapt my routine to match your pet’s specific needs, energy level, and schedule, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for every day. I care for pets like they’re my own while they’re with me. In my home, pets become part of our daily routine and get lots of one-on-one attention, walks, outdoor play, and cuddles. I stick closely to their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I only take one pet at a time, which allows me to really focus on their needs. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I adjust my care based on their personality and energy level. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully and keep things familiar so your pet feels safe and happy. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Sydney was amazing with our 1 year old baby. He's so high energy and Sydney did such a good job keeping him entertained and taking him on walks to burn out some of that energy! She's been such a huge help every week and I highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much again Sydney! 😊

This was the first time Callahan looked after my pets, and she did a great job. She sent me photos and check in times and when I return, my pets were happy and while taking care of, I will definitely hire her to take care of my pets again when I’m out of town. Thank you very much Callahan for taking care of my babies.

Our big girl was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year and we couldn’t get family and friends to agree to give her her insulin shot when we needed someone to come let the dogs in and out and feed them on occasion. I turned to Rover to see if we could find someone to do it. I chose Lauren, and she was willing and able. She showed up right on time, and took care of the dogs for us. We will be scheduling with her again in the future and are very excited that we can do day trips again and not have to worry about our big girl getting her meds properly! Thanks Lauren, you are so very much appreciated!
