“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”

Ashley kept us updated regularly with pics and videos of our furry guy. She answered all of our questions, informed us of any behaviors we should know about and kept our Chip safe, happy and made sure he was very well cared for. We are so thankful for the peace of mind we had so we could enjoy our vacation. We came home to one happy boy! She is the best!💚”

From the moment we arrived, we could tell she was a genuinely kind and caring person—Skye immediately warmed up to her, tail wagging and full of excitement. Throughout our trip, Michele was always available for quick, friendly communication, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, Skye greeted us in high spirits, clearly having enjoyed her time. We’re so grateful for Michele’s attentiveness and warmth, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Highly recommend!”

When Brian noticed that my little guy hadn’t eaten a lot one day, he added beef broth to his meal. This surely encouraged my little guy to eat.

“Renee is the BEST. I can’t believe I found her! I have three strange kitties in the middle of nowhere and I never thought I’d be able to find a pet sitter. She is so kind and likable and knowledgeable and sweet and so trustworthy. She did an amazing job going to my house twice a day to feed them and spend some time with them. I have one cat with health issues and Renee already knew how to administer his medication if he needed it. She is better than I could have imagined a pet sitter to be. I finally feel like I have a little freedom thanks to Renee!”

About: I have worked with animals at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where we house dogs, cats, and even birds, bunnies, or hamsters. I worked there for two years, and I have grown up with & been around both dogs and cats my whole life. I am available to care for your fur babies in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I work Monday through Friday at a local law firm, so I have more flexibility for house sitting than dog walking or drop in visits during the day. I can provide treats, toys, and love to a client’s fur baby. I’m able to take dogs on walks and potty breaks, feed and administer medicine to both dogs and cats, crate a dog if needed, or snuggle up with a client’s fur baby.

About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!

About: Hello! My name is Tia, I am a huge animal lover and figured I might as well try to make money doing something I love, being with animals of course! I am a stay at home mother of two elementary aged boys. Your furry family member will be treated as an equal and will receive unconditional love here. Sadly, we are not financially ready to add a furry member into our pack, so welcoming your little friend into our lives would be an excitingly, wonderful time for us! I also do bathing, nail clipping/filing, teeth brushing and ear cleaning if you are in need of that extra service. I started using Rover in 2015 and was active on here through 2019. I took a break from the app due to no animals allowed where I was living. Although, I continued working as a dog bather through the years. My photos on here are older, but I will be updating with more recent photos soon, As I have plenty I can post. At the moment, I am now living in well kept and spacious camper within a beautiful and quiet camping resort and am excited to have the opportunity to be back to working with Rover and watching over your furry babies. I hope to hear from you soon! Message me with any questions and please don't hesitate! I have all the love in the world to give! (: I stay at home right now, so your pup/ kitty will have my undivided attention and all the love they need to feel comfortable while they are away from you. I have plenty of space for them to relax comfortably, and I have no problem allowing animals on the furniture and bed. There is also lots of land for them to explore. I do not have a fenced area, but am more than happy to take your pup for a walk for a long as they need.

About: Hi, I'm Rowan! I provide specialized pet care for cats and dogs based on their unique needs! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, daycare, and dog walking. Does your pet need a lot of attention? Cuddles? Quiet time? Medication or monitoring? Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or has special needs, I'm trained and equipped to make sure they get exactly what they need. I guarantee personalized pet care exceeding industry standards, quick and clear communication, and a positive experience for you and your furry family. My experience: I have several years of professional experience working at luxury dog daycare and boarding facilities. In these roles, I provided around the clock animal care, administered medications, provided special services for senior and disabled dogs, and more. I've also volunteered hundreds of hours as an animal care attendant and dog walker at animal shelters and non-profits like Tails. In addition to this, I have a lifetime of personal experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, colleagues, and neighbors! About me: I'm currently finishing my final semester (virtually) as a graduate student in cultural anthropology. During my BA program in environmental studies, I took multiple classes on animal behavior and animal ethics, so caring for animals is a long term passion of mine! Outside of that, I love painting, doing ceramics, and reading sci-fi novels. :) PLEASE NOTE: I only recieve messages via Rover. I do not recieve text messages. Thank you! I'm currently a graduate student in cultural anthropology finishing my final semester virtually. My schedule is extremely flexible and I'm able to respond quickly to whatever you or your pet need! For boarding: I live in a spacious apartment next to a big park where your pup can get plenty of outside time. I'm happy to play, cuddle, give space, go for walks, or provide anything else your pet needs. Because I live in an apartment, quiet dogs are preferred. For House sitting: When in your home, I'll follow all your instructions exactly and provide prompt communication. I'm also happy to send regular updates with pictures of your pet. :)

About: Love to have a furry companion on my walks and give them some time outside, I’ve had dogs my whole life big and small and always enjoy walking them. Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

“Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!”

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I absolutely love animals! My family’s had animals my whole life. If I had more room I’d have so many more! So instead you should let me meet yours ☺️ Thank you! Every morning I get up and let my dogs out to go to the bathroom and then feed them. During the day we hang out and then around dinner time I feed them again and then they sleep in my room with me. I will make sure your animal is taken care of. Make sure they are fed and have water, take them on a walk or any other things needed. I can also clean up any accidents.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly. Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care

“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”

“I had to leave my pup for 5 days to fly back home and was honestly so anxious but Kathleen sent me plenty of updates and took great care of her! She was extremely accommodating and treated my dog like she was one of her own. I definitely recommend and would re-book with her in the future!!”

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first time boarding our dog. She was so nice, friendly and professional. Ashley kept us updated regularly with pics and videos of our furry guy. She answered all of our questions, informed us of any behaviors we should know about and kept our Chip safe, happy and made sure he was very well cared for. We are so thankful for the peace of mind we had so we could enjoy our vacation. We came home to one happy boy! She is the best!💚”

“Brian and his family were awesome. I had some anxiety about leaving my little guy. I received daily updates which came with pictures. I knew he was in a good home when I saw how comfortable he was. When Brian noticed that my little guy hadn’t eaten a lot one day, he added beef broth to his meal. This surely encouraged my little guy to eat. The family enjoyed his stay and he enjoyed them as well. Thank you, Brian and your family for being so accommodating, responsive, and flexible.”

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tintin while I was away. Knowing that they were in your hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a truly worry-free vacation. I really appreciate the updates, the kindness, and the attention you gave—it’s clear you treat pets like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Thank you again for everything!”

“I recently had the pleasure of using Katie as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Katie showed a genuine love and care for my furry friend, making me feel completely at ease leaving my dog in their hands.   Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Katie was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had, and even provided regular updates and photos of my dog during their stay. It was evident that my dog was in good hands, and that gave me peace of mind while I was away.   Not only did Katie provide exceptional care, but they also went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and happy. They followed my dog's routine perfectly, maintained consistent feeding schedules, and provided plenty of exercise and playtime. My dog was well-taken care of, and it was clear they had a great time with Katie.   I highly recommend Katie's services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals make them stand out from the rest. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!   Thank you, Katie, for providing such a wonderful dog sitting experience. You exceeded my expectations, and my dog couldn't be happier.”

“Renae was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time using Rover for Sammy and I will continue to use this service. Renae gave me updates throughout the stay which was very reassuring. Sammy was able to play with Renae's pup which was very nice for him to have a friend instead of being alone at the pets hotel.”
