Highly-rated overnight sitters - Whitney
“She was absolutely amazingly and her family was outstanding also. They took very good care of my Nala. I will definitely recommend her and will always use her if possible.”
“Cooper had the best time! 🐾 He was happy, relaxed, and clearly having a good time with the other dogs while I was away. I loved getting the updates and pics, it made me feel so at ease. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Krista had my big boy, Jack for a 2 day stint and then a whole week the following week. It was my first time using her. She did an amazing job, communicating with me via texts and photos throughout the week. Jack came home, happy and alert. He was well taken care of, and I would recommend her, and will certainly be reaching out to use her again.”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“Absolutely one of the best sitters I ever had. Adrienne treated my dog as her own. I was so pleased with photos and updates everyday. I felt confident that my dog was treated just like I treat her. Highly reccommend. Definitely will have her take care of my Maddie again.”
“Denny and Robert always makes sure our pup is well taken care of! Last time we dropped him off, he was literally squeaking with excitement as we turned onto their street. Our dog LOVES staying with them.”
“I have 2 very clingy and special needs dogs with separation anxiety. She was very accommodating and sweet and I did not deserve her at alllll. But she took care of my babies while I was out of state. Truly, a blessing.”
“Wil is the best. He watched Cody for 2.5 weeks while we were out of town. I can tell Cody was comfortable and got enough exercises. Wil kept us updated by sending pictures and videos for the first week. My kids missed Cody and seeing his pictures helped. I'm glad that I found Wil and I'll consider using his service again in the future”
“To say Jerarlin is a blessing would be a understatement! She and her family are hands on. My one year old Bentley, a bernedoodle is nothing short of a handful. Jerarlin knows the right amount of discipline needed to keep him in line. Yet manages to lavish him love throughout his stay. She has a well mannered doodle herself who also keeps Bentley in check by teaching him boundaries and dog manners. lol Her home is beautiful, very clean and spacious. The yard is lush with grass having plenty of room for run and play. I've fostered poodles for 15 years and highly recommend Jerarlin for your fur babies stay, weather it be a day, a night or on a weekly basis. Jerarlin sparkles and shines. She stands out on the highest level of humanity. Regards, Penny M”
“Jackie and Victor were both amazing. First time leaving my fur baby and I was nervous, but Jackie made us feel comfortable right away. Pepper got along well with Nala who is such an adorable dog. Jackie sent videos and pictures the whole time, which I loved. Pepper had a lot of fun. I'm definitely booking Jackie again.”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”
“Chrissy did a great job staying in touch with us while our dog Bentley was with her. She sent quite a few photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kayla is the absolute sweetest. She was so attentive to my Labrador puppy and made sure to keep me updated during my trip with photos and videos. Her yard is very spacious and he had so much fun playing and spending time there. I am forever grateful for her. Super patient and loving! Thank you Kayla will definitely be booking in the future again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Whitney
“Berkley was great with my kitties while I was gone! This was my first time using Rover for an out of state trip and couldn’t be more happy with Berkley. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos and could tell the kitties were very comfortable with her visiting! Berkley was great with communication and was on time for her check ins every day. I really enjoyed the report card update along with the visits. I would definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks Berkley!”
“Melissa was great with Willow and it only took one day for Willow to warm up with, which says alor, considering Willow tends to hide when new people come around. I hope to use Melissa again, when I need to travel.”
“Joanna took great care of our cat, Henry, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and even came on extra days to see him. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Henry was well taken care of. We came home to a happy, healthy cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Holly is wonderful with our dog. First-time we had to go off for the day and leave him behind. She assured me that everything would be fine! And it was. Will definitely use again.”
“I could tell once I came home my dogs (2 big 65 lbs boys) were super happy and relaxed after Ernest's visits. He is great with communication and I feel has proven to be very dependable. You can see he loves dogs and dogs love him. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mahalia! She took great care of Paisley and kept us updated throughout the stay. Paisley was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend!"”
“Nicole stepped in to assist with our dog during a family emergency where I had to travel out of state at the last minute. Without hesitation she took care of our very particular Lacey - walks to the pond close by, and tackled the process of feeding Lacey - which is not easy - but handled it like champion! We are forever grateful for Nicole’s help and we will reach out to her in the future as our dog walking needs arise. AND she was kind enough to bring us ice cream treats 🍦”
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
About: I love animals and have always been the neighborhood dog walker since I was young, I now live in the Villages and have two dogs. I love taking them to the local dog park and would happy to bring some of that love I have for them into your pets lives! I am very flexible with my hours and am willing to drive to your house to walk or watch your pet. I require at least a one day notice. My biggest accomplishment for house/dog sitting would be for your dog to feel as comfortable as possible in your home while you are out of town!
“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”
“This is the 2nd time Sophia has watched my cat while I was away on a trip and she is phenomenal. She sends lots of pictures and specific updates. When I come home I can always tell my cat has been well cared for! I highly recommend booking her for your pet care needs 😊”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whitney
“I’ve been so pleased with the care my Chewy has had by Krista. He has made so friends and learned to get along with others and he loves his Krista. Thanks ever so much. ❤️🐶😁”
“Dennis has been great with my 3 month old Chocolate lab puppy. Romeo really seems to enjoy being with him. I greatly appreciate his patience when deal with a puppy and flexibility to accommodate my change in schedule as an educator. Thank so very much.”
“Stephany watched my 7 month old German Shepherd Ubba and she did an excellent job! She sent me videos periodically through out the day to let me know how he was doing. She has a great fenced in yard too so that was a huge plus for me. Ubba played with her kids and came home pooped which I loved! She is a great option if you are looking for someone to watch you dog.?”
About: My name is Meghan and my fiance and I live together with our friendly, standard poodle, Knightro and our new puppy, Mando. Both pups love any and all people + dogs. They would love to have some friends visit for stays! My fiance and I have grown up with pets our whole lives, We are both very active, and I work from home full time so we can give lots of walks, play time, give the best belly rubs, and whatever else your furry friends needs! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I am also found on the Wag dog walking app, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past such as S.A.F.E. pet care in Florida, and the Humane Society. We really love animals and can’t wait to meet your four legged family member :-) I work from home full time and i am off weekends so I have plenty of time to love & care for your pup :-) We don’t have a fenced in yard, but we have a wide open back yard that connects to a 3.5 mile + walking trail. The neighborhood has sidewalks and not near any busy roads. We have lots of space to roam inside the house as well, with extra rooms.
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Maggie is awesome! Murphey had a blast hanging out with her for the day. She treated him like he was her own, sent tons of pics and literally made me feel so at ease. I will definitely book her again!”
“I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything. Seriously, when it comes to the practical stuff, I never have a single worry; everything always feels super secure and well-managed. And honestly, the Idalis team , they’re just the absolute best! I have such immense trust in them, and they always make everything so pleasant and easygoing. Plus, my dog absolutely *adores* coming over. He always has the most fantastic time playing with all the other pups – he practically begs to go 😄. It's such a wonderful spot for him (and for me, too!).”
“First time is a charm! Nicole, and family, are wonderful, friendly and amazing sitters. Bailey was completely comfortable and at ease right from the start. Nicole stayed in touch through the day with pictures and comments. The environment was friendly and playful and so much love. Highly recommend!”
“My golden doodle, Brandy had her first sleep over with Charles and she loved it! While there, Brandy was treated like family. She was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I received pictures of Brandy and updates. The yard is incredibly big, fenced in, lots of shade. This is a perfect place for any dog to be!”
“Viviana and her husband have been absolutely amazing with my puppy. By day 3 he was running from my car to go have the best day with them. They’re great about keeping you updated with photos and videos to give you peace of mind while you’re at work.”
About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: Precious Paws loves to take care of dogs of every kind. My friends rely on me to take care of their pets, walk and feed them. I currently work part time. I have time to take care of your fur babies. I'm available to work on weekdays after 2pm. On weekends anytime. I'm able to take your dogs for walk and I live close by to a dog park. Most of all your fur baby will have lots of fun
“We dropped Hudson off this morning for daycare for the first time. Vic was very friendly and his personality was warm and inviting. His and Jackie's home is beautiful and Nala, what a beautiful fur baby! Vic sent us pictures all day long, which this Doggy Momma sooooo appreciated ( can never have too many pics of my lil Hudsie) Hudson was totally worn out when he got home so I know doggy daycare was a complete success! We are going to book again for sure! Thank you for taking such good care of our dear precious fur baby while we were away! Hudson can't wait to come back and play again!!”
“Diana did an amazing job taking care of our Boston Terrier, Charlie, for doggie daycare. Her place was super clean and had lots of space for him to run around and burn off energy, which is perfect for a dog like Charlie. She sent us regular photo and video updates, which we really appreciated—it was great to see him so happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear Diana genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. Charlie came home happy and tired (in a good way!). We’d definitely have him stay with Diana again. Already booked our next visit. Highly recommend!”

“Lori has been just what I needed for my dog. My dog deals with separation anxiety when I’m out of the house for more than 5 hours. Now when I come home from golf, my dog is in a cheerful, playful mood. I thank Rover with connecting me with Lori and I thank Lori for being an awesome companion to my dog while I’m out of the house!”
“Sandy is awesome. This is a wonderful service. I had a lot of anxiety about putting my George in a stranger’s hands. I love the feedback and the photos! I highly recommend Sandy!”
“Berkley is amazing!!! She was able to help us out with our Golden Retriever puppy when work got in the way. We will definitely be contacting Berkley again to help get Murphy out and about when we get stuck at work!”
About: I have always loved dogs and cats and always love being around them so I would love the opportunity to make you and your animals happy. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my 14-year-old dog and two cats every day, which includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, litter box maintenance, grooming when needed, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. Caring for senior pets has also taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I am comfortable incorporating additional pets into my schedule and providing them with reliable, attentive care. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s needs and personality. I carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements. I also make sure pets have a safe, clean environment and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away. 🐾💕
“Matt did a fantastic job with Lily. He followed all of my specific instructions to keep her safe and shared pictures and videos of their walk so I was able to see how happy she was to go on her usual route. Matt clearly loves dogs and was willing to take on the challenge of a very large and strong GSD while others weren't. I would gladly hire him again.”
About: UPDATE: I loved my past dog sittings, however I took time off to be a caregiver for my husband and then my dad. My best boy Oreo recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I am ready to shower that love on your furry loved ones. I love all animals and have a fondness for dogs of any type. I have had various size dogs all my life. I have been involved with animal rescue organizations, as well as fostered many dogs. My current dog was a foster that I ended up adopting. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies in your home! I love playing, snuggling, and walking with them. Your fur babies will get plenty of attention and I will provide pictures while you are away. It will be my honor to take care of your cherished family member and ensure they are happy. Since I am retired my schedule is flexible. I am available to care for your fur baby and take care of your home, as needed. I will follow all guidelines you provide in caring for your fur baby at home. Snuggling on the sofa or giving them space is ok.
“Robin is amazing! This was our first experience leaving our fur baby with a sitter. From the initial meet and greet Robin made us feel very comfortable and confident in the loving and safe care she would provide. We were able to travel with ease knowing Charlie was in good hands.Very happy we found Robin and look forward to booking in the future.”

“Nicole Thank you so much for your care of Mars. You went above and be on . Thank you for taking him on long walks and to the dog park. Im sure Mars enjoyed his time with you. We will definitely be getting ahold of you in the near future”
“Mike has been walking my 2 big dogs, 70 and 90 lb. Bouvier des Flandres, for approximately 2 months. He’s great with them; patient with my girl and can control my boy who can be a challenge. He’s even given me tips on how he gets my boy to behave (Leo at age 2 is impulsive and reactive, especially with golf carts). I even see a difference when I walk them. I’d highly recommend Mike, especially if you have big dogs!”
About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.
About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.
About: I have no pets of my own and only board pets from one family at a time. (Or for less stress for all, I’m happy to take care of your pets in your home.) Your fur baby will have my full attention 24/7. Neighbors, Rover customers, friends, family, and animal shelters have relied on me to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, train and give loving care to a wide variety of animals over the years. All give me glowing praise and recommendations. Most importantly, I love doing it and taking care of pets is the highlight of my day. I am retired so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I am willing to take on any job - big or small. I live on the west edge of Fenton Township (convenient to Hwy 23) but drive to downtown Fenton often. So jobs in Linden and Fenton are both convenient. No job + no pets + no small children = no distractions. I’ll give your pet attention 24/7. Partially fenced yard and quiet street with only 12 homes for peaceful, leashed walks. Nearby trails and parks for longer adventures and daily exercise/exploring/socialization. I have a stake with a 25 foot lead for relaxing in my backyard (25 ft radius = 50 ft diameter) and watching nature and interesting activity on the lake. We can swim or wade in my lake if you approve. Or just have fun watching the fish and waves from the beach or dock. I’m happy to give a quick bath with puppy shampoo after the lake if you approve. I’m retired. Your pet will get my attention 24/7. And my husband is also retired, so usually there are two of us doting on our guests. I’ll listen carefully to your instructions and follow them all. If I ever have any questions or notice any odd behavior or health issues, I notify the owner immediately. Lots of people tell me that I’m a “dog whisperer”. I agree that I have a sixth sense for knowing how a pet is feeling and trying lots of different tactics to keep them happy and healthy. Unfortunately, I frequently fall in love with my guests. It’s always bittersweet when they leave because it’s sad to see them go, but they are always so very, very happy when their owner returns.
“Anthony was awesome! Aldo def loved the attention from him and is exited for more walks in the future. Anthony followed all my instructions and took care of everything Aldo needed. Thanks!”

“What a terrific person Rebecca is! She's very easy to talk with, understands my pups needs and quirks, and...she sent me pictures of my boy every day! This was my first time using Rebecca.

Great job Rebecca! And your wonderful family, too!”

We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was great with Macy! She had no problem with giving Macy time to warm up to her dog, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel 100% comfortable leaving my girl with her. I would/will use her again in the future if the opportunity arises.”
