“Michelle was so sweet to our elderly blind terrier. She was understanding of his special needs and medications. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Michelle is a great sitter and we will use her whenever our schedules mesh.”

“Karen was amazing. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. My dogs had an awesome stay in her beautiful fenced in yard. She sent pictures daily. Highly recommend and plan on using her in the future.”


“Heather was an amazing sitter, very accommodating, and took extra care to get to know Noodles before the booking. Communication was prompt, and while I was on my trip, she sent the sweetest pictures/videos and updates. Overall, Noodles had a great time and received top-tier care. I would definitely recommend Heather when you need a sitter for your fur baby.”


“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! Our daughter’s wedding was on this day and she stayed with our two dogs at the resort during all of the wedding festivities. She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)”

“Olivia was the best dog sitter we have used on this app! Our dog is typically very skittish and takes a while to warm up, but she did so good with Olivia and her husband. Not to mention they were extremely accommodating as my flights got cancelled twice attempting to come home. With having so much stress traveling Olivia made the situation so much easier because she continued to let us know Nyla was doing well and that she understood the circumstances and would be able to watch her longer than any of us anticipated. 10/10 would recommend and I know who will be at the top of our list for the next time we’re traveling!!!”

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!

“Jill is amazing! She has watched Copper now twice and I love her! She sends lots of pictures and is quick to answer when I send a message. I will use her whenever I need a sitter.”

About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!

About: While your fur baby is in my care they get quality playtime, walks and love. I treat them like they are my own. You will also get daily updates and photos. Pet sitting is my full time job. This gives me plenty of time to play or walk your dog. I'm also able to do overnight visits, stays or boarding. I have a large yard and neighborhood to take nice long walks in. I also have a dog that loves to play and get along with others.
About: I have loved caring for our doggies over 30 some years. I have had great sucess with training our puppies.... Would love to help make your pups experience a good one:) I am currently always home during the week and would be available weekends as well in which I will provide 24/7 attention to your sweet pups! We do not have a fenced in yard but have a lead that runs through our back yard. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood!!
“Sweet, caring, kind and excellent communication. Lots of updates and pictures of what my dogs were up to. Both of my dogs really enjoyed their stay and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands.”

About: I started my pet care journey as a dog walker at age 9, and have found great joy in pet sitting over the years. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages and personalities, and now specialize in in-home boarding where your pets are treated like part of our family. My home offers fenced acreage for safe, supervised running and play, along with structured walks and trail runs for those who need a little extra. After playtime, there’s always a warm bed, or a cozy spot on the couch, waiting for naps and snuggles. With degrees in Wildlife Biology and Zoology, I bring not only a deep love for animals but also a professional understanding of their behavior, needs, and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I split my regular work schedule with 3 wfh days each week. We are an early rising family who enjoy spending time on our homestead. We have several resident pets on the farm: 20 sheep, 2 mini donkeys, chickens and one beloved mutt. Our regular routine involves a 1 mi walk in the am and pm with lots of other opportunities throughout the day for supervised fresh air or playtime in one of our fenced 1 acre pastures. Safe and secure, a ball lovers paradise! I’m comfortable treating your pet as my own with specialized treatment or care as needed. We have 2 respectful preteen boys in the household so kid friendly dogs are an absolute must.
Traverse City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.

I used Jared to watch my precious Levi (Australian Shepard) for an overnight stay in the hospital, .4 miles away. Very friendly to Levi and I upon meeting. He provided a safe and loving home with spacious yard. Communication was exceptional along with photos which eased my mind while I was away.

Danielle was quick with a response when I requested a booking, flexible with pick up and drop off times, and took such great care of our boy! Maverick was all smiles in the photos she sent. She has two playful good dogs. She took my dog for walks with them. I would definitely use her again!
