Mackintosh is a very attentive sitter, adjusting and accommodating when my cats decide they don't want to eat that or don't want to eat there today and giving them extra play time when they seem particularly rambunctious. My apartment is always clean when I return, and the litter boxes have been scooped, which is great when I'm arriving back in late after a long flight. I have cameras to peek in on the cats now and then when I get anxious or miss them, but I never truly worry about them with Mackintosh checking in.

Breezy goes above and beyond for our Buddy boy! She always communicates when she is ever running late, which I appreciate soo much. Our boy is always so happy when we come home because she takes such good care of him. Thank you again, Breezy, for your love and dedication.

Rebekah was great! She let our boys out and made sure they ate and went potty. She also played with them and tired them out! Rebekah was flexible and easy to work with and we will definitely be using her services in the future!

Cassie took great care of our 3 cats!! The 2 kittens have not been around anyone but us so she was very patient and took the time to make them comfortable with her. She sent videos of them and their daily progress and they were very happy with her petting them and playing with them. I highly recommend Cassie caring for your fur babies!

Kara had clearly worked with dogs before, and wasn't phased by the hyper, energetic ball of fur that is our dog. It was nice to know we'd be leaving him with someone who knew how to handle his energy while continuing with the commands, training, etc. we'd been working with him on.

Paigg was incredible with our nervous boy! I was a nervous wreck leaving our dog alone in a new place (classic dog mom), and I truly can’t describe how much Paigg put our worries at ease. We were able to enjoy our day because of her :) Highly recommend this sitter. Thanks, Paigg!

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats—and 5 years of house and pet sitting through personal networks—I’ve found true joy in this work. Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or staying in your home, I provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pets feeling secure and loved. I’m highly reliable and only take on bookings I know I can fully commit to—your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I’m nurturing and respectful, and I love being active and playful with animals when it suits their personality. I treat every pet like a cherished family member and strive to make their routines feel calm, familiar, and happy while you’re away. I’m currently looking unemployed so pet care will be a significant part of my weekly routine. I’m excited about the opportunity to make watching your pet my top priority. I only offer pet care services in the client’s home, because I believe pets feel most secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I care for each pet with the same attention and respect I would give my own—whether it’s following a specific routine, administering medication, going for energizing walks, or providing gentle companionship. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so I can offer care that’s consistent, calm, and tailored. I also only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so you can count on me to be reliable, present, and fully focused on your pet’s well-being.

About: I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! I typically travel through a house and pet sitting site. I love it so much I thought I would make it my job! My schedule is flexible. I care for pets in their own homes. Rover insists you start out boarding in the sitters home but I do not offer this service. I pet sit in the clients home only. Thanks :)

About: Hello! My name is Katie and I am currently living in Traverse City, Michigan. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and love to spend my free time pet sitting! I grew up around dogs my entire life and currently have an orange tabby cat named Bruce. I have been pet sitting for family and friend's for many years now and also have previous experience working in a dog/cat boarding kennel. I am currently looking to pet sit in my free time and my availability is fairly open depending on the week. Feel free to message me with any scheduling questions! I always ensure that the pets I am caring for are in a safe environment. I have a yard that can accommodate for dogs and make sure to take them outside (at my house or where I am pet sitting) regularly throughout the day.

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible, morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend works great for me! I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they cannot be home!

About: Throughout grade school and parts of college, I always looked after my neighbors pets, kids, and homes. In addition, I grew up and around hunting dogs and in college I occasionally cared for a classmate’s diabetic cat. To this day I help out friends with their pets and homes. I am currently working part-time with flexibility and the availability to provide quality and genuine care for your pets when you are away from home. For the right client, I could have them stay in my apartment with me while I am home. I am open to further discuss the specific needs of your pet to ensure the best care for your pet and comfort to you knowing your fur babies are well taken care of.

About: My family has had pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always taken an active role in their care. From dogs to cats, I’ve helped feed, water, walk, and comfort animals in all kinds of situations. I’ve bottle-fed week-old puppies, cared for anxious rescues, and administered medications—including insulin shots—for elderly or sick cats. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, high-energy or low-maintenance, I approach every pet with compassion, patience, and a gentle hand. I currently work part time in the mornings, so I have the evenings and weekends open to take care of all your fur baby's needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication instructions exactly as provided. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own—keeping things tidy, secure, and calm for your pet’s comfort. Whether it’s playing with an energetic cat, sitting quietly with a shy one, or keeping a close eye on a pet with health needs, I adjust my approach to match their personality and energy level. I also keep clients updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. You can count on me to be gentle, reliable, and responsive—giving your pet personalized care and giving you peace of mind.

And I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I work from home, so I’m always around. I also understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet’s care in the hands of someone else. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! My house has a massive fenced-in yard (West Bay’s dog park size). Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Schedule: I work from home, so my world already revolves around my own pup, Charlie. I’m already hanging out with my dog 24/7, so I’d love to care for yours as well! Environment: I have a huge fenced-in yard, and a friendly pup to keep your doggo entertained, comfortable and loved. I’m also ALWAYS home. I can accommodate whatever your pup needs.

Riley is an outstanding pet and house watcher. We have had her watch our 3 dogs and 2 cats on several occasions, for up to 2-3 weeks. She loves them and they love her. She send pictures and updates, walks them, feeds them and takes special care of them. Our redbone coonhound has epilepsy and requires medication 4 times a day - that was not problem for Riley. Super responsible and just a great person. We and our pets couldn't provide a higher recommendation for her!

I have cats, BUT I've watched Sammi (Samantha) with her own dog Gracie, and she's phenomenal with her, taking her for walks, working with her to be the best pup she can be. Sammi anticipates Gracie's actions and adjusts her own words and movements accordingly. Sammi uses positive reinforcement with animals. She has a quiet, calm, and positive nature that is reflected in the critters she works with.

Jill has a huge heart for loving animals. She has rescued several animals that otherwise wouldn't have been adopted at all, because of a physical condition, or age. She talks about her animals all the time, takes photos of them, even sends them video messages when she is away from them. Jill would be an excellent person to choose to care for your pet because of the love she shows her own pets, and any pet she comes in contact with. She understands that some animals are shy and they need time to approach her on their own; she NEVER invades space or makes an animal uncomfortable. She respects all pets and is very thorough in her care of them. And the pets all love her! She has a calming presence that the animals can sense. Jill is perfect to care for your animals!!!

Jared has watched our animals (dogs & cats) for several years. He is extremely dependable, loves the animals and he is the only person we trust with them. Jared has had to go way above and beyond any expectations a couple of times. It is hard to leave our pets but knowing that Jared is there makes it so much less stressful, we know that they are in trustworthy and loving care!
