Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ainger
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ainger
“This was Daryl’s second overnight stay with Taya, and once again he had the time of his life playing with Taya’s dogs. Taya sent lots of updates and pictures and videos so we could be sure he was doing well.”
“Our dogs just finished up an 11 night stay with Kelli, and they had the best time! We know our dogs always get plenty of love and care and exercise at Kelli’s place, and we’re so grateful! Knowing our dogs were so happy and healthy while we’re away helped us enjoy a long overdue vacation. Thank you Kelli!!”
“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”
“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Amazing people, kept me updated on my babies constantly because I was so nervous ? but they were so accommodating and my babies had so much fun. Will definitely book them again next time we come to Michigan!”
“Kasey could not have been a better sitter! She made me feel so at ease, taking over for me in a sticky situation! She was able to watch the pup last minute, making the transition seamless with plenty of videos to make me smile!!”
“The perfect sitter for an anxious fur baby. Heavan put both my dog and myself at ease giving multiple updates with pictures while I was out of town for a night. My extremely anxious pooch settled right in which allowed me to enjoy my night away without worry.”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“Melissa is awesome. She paid very close attention to my dog Tulu and they bonded quickly. Melissa sent pictures every day sometimes twice a day with nice comments. I recommend her highly and I won’t hesitate to book her again.”
“It was so convenient having Victoria and Rishi watch our Pepper over Easter weekend. She seemed to have a blast with all her pack buddies while we were on vacation- even got to go on a couple nature walks! We were nervous never having used Rover, but we will definitely leave her with R. and V. again. Thanks for being Pepper's home away from home!”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“Larry was awesome! He had my lil Maggie for almost two weeks we were just passing through and had car trouble and he extended her stay on the fly for us. When I picked her up she was so happy! If I need a dog boarder again I will definitely call Larry.”
“Brooklyn was great. Sent plenty of pictures. Ammo was a little timid at first. Brooklyn sent me picture and kept me updated on his comfortability progression and it didn't take long. Work recommend her for sure!”
“Alice was great this weekend while I was out of town for two days! My two dogs appeared to be very happy with her and were happy as usual when I picked them up! Alice is a great communicator, shared fun pics of my pups while I was gone and was informative. I will happily use her services again!”
“A dog is family, so finding a caregiver for an extended stay can be challenging. We found Paige to be ideal for Buster, a 12 year old Maltese mix. Paige's home environment is very similar to ours so Buster was comfortable in his stay. Paige communicated with updates and pictures which was nice and comforting for us. I would highly recommend Paige.”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”

“Katherine did a great job for us. She has pets of her own and understands how important these little fur-people are. I was able to return home from my travel with less stress.”
“Anna has watched our cat multiple times. She is always responsive and communicates well. Our cat needs insulin and she has been very comfortable with the process. She sends pictures and lets me know if there are any concerns. We were lucky to find her as she has allowed our family to feel confident that our cat is taken care of when we are away.”
“Taya was outstanding! I could see the 'boys' change from the initial stand offish to enjoying her arrival and playtime with the daily videos. Being in England it was comforting to know they were being well cared for. We will be using Taya for all our future trips.”
“Jasmine did a spectacular job taking care of our kitties! She was sweet and very communicative! I felt at peace on our trip knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much!!”

About: Ive been a dog lover since I was little and have been pet sitting for family and friends ever since I’ve been able to drive, working with all sizes and breeds! Ive been required to walk, feed, play with and even give medication to some dogs I’ve worked with who have anxiety and depression. I’m currently working pool so I only have to work 3 days a month and even when working I would only be 15 minutes away so I could easily check in. I have a large fenced in yard and 4 loving dogs to keep your furbaby company while here :) and two large crates that can easily be set up if needed. We also have about 10 different trails that span across our 7 acres of land that we enjoy taking our dogs for walks on.
“I feel so much better being at work knowing that my senior dog is getting visited by April in the middle of the day. She takes good care of him and caters to all his weird neuroses that come with being a 16 year old pup. Thank you, April!”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, my family rescued a cat in 2017, and I have been caring for my own two cats since 2021. Living with cats has taught me that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and reserved, I will provide patient, loving care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of cats and kittens. I will always help keep the litter box areas clean and tidy. I have taken care of indoor and outdoor cats the most. If you need a cat walker then I'm your gal. I've never owned a cat myself however I have enough experience with housesitter and pet sitting to say that can take of your cat if you need help.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I have had big and small dogs, rescues and purebreds. My daughter has her own Dog Grooming business & can offer her services here during their stay. We breed and show Collies, both rough and smooth varieties, and have 1 Mini Schnauzer, along with 5 kids. We homeschool, so I am home the majority of most days unless we have co-op classes to go to. We have lots of experience in training and playing with dogs through active participation in 4H Showmanship , Obedience, Rally, & Agility. My daughter and I are hoping to compete in all of the above in AKC events as well. I am comfortable giving oral medication, including sub-q fluids annd/or diabetes shots, and can be shown how to do any other type of medication, as needed. I am a homeschooling Mom, so I am home the majority of most days. We have co-op classes we do attend, but usually are not gone more than 3-4 hours at a time once or twice a week. If we leave the house, all dogs will be crated for their safety and my peace of mind. I am looking for either long term schedules or flexible to help in times of vacations and various excursions in which your dog can not join you. We have 9 acres, set off from the road quite a ways. I have 2 fenced in dog areas in which my Collies run & play when we are not outside with them. We take multiple breaks through out the day to play with dogs, can do walks, ball play, etc. Our Dogs have gotten along with everyone that has come over so far. Our Mini Schnauzer rules the roost in the house. :)
“Donna is fantastic with our 1yr old doberman. We are still doing alot of training with him and it's great knowing that Donna has the same knowledge of training and its being applied while hes in her care. It's also comforting to know that she's use to the large breed dogs and isn't intimidated by them and treats him like her own.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have always loved caring for them. From playful kittens to shy or older cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality and deserves patience, comfort, and lots of love while their owners are away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ainger
“Deb is a true gem! She took such excellent care of my two little dogs and they came home after both days with her with happy faces and tired bodies from playing. My shy girl, Clover even snuggled and took a nap at her house! AMAZING sitter, highly recommend Deb. She has a house designed for pups and a beautiful, peaceful and huge backyard. She's home most of the time and just treats your dogs with genuine love and sweetness. I am moving too far to use her services again, but sad to say so, because our experience with her was just absolutely perfect. There may be sitters in the Battle Creek area that charge less, but having tried them with very mixed results - I assure you Deb is worth every penny!”
“Kelli was great to work with and very responsive. I appreciated updates throughout the day with pictures that showed my dogs were having a great time with her! I hope to rebook with her in the future! 🐾”
“Julia was so good and did a wonderful job with Gigi. Gigi was so happy and calm when we went Home. I will definitely book her again! Gigi is an older dog and Julia provided the care that made a difference.”
“Danielle and her Alaska Huskies were wonderful! She was fun and helpful and obviously loved my fur babies and set limits so they knew what was acceptable behavior on her turf! She was accommodating as well. One evening my class went overtime. She had no problem keeping my boys until I could be there. She communicated by text to let me know how they were doing each day. She allowed us to visit before our appointed time so my dogs could be introduced to her dogs. Danielle was wonderful! I highly recommend her!!”
“She took on my temperamental old man, and he came home happy! She gave me updates and pictures through the stay, which I really appreciated. Will definitely book again!”

My name is Jamie. My husband, Randy, and I run our business out of our home. Our kids are all older and we now have more time on our hands to fill with something that we enjoy...taking care of dogs! We are friendly, dependable, affordable and love what we do! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog owner for many years. I have also been a dog sitter for many of my family members for many years. As a life long dog lover, I was never able to have a pup when I was a child. I always told my mother that I was going to have 20 dogs when I grew up. Now, I didn't go that far, but we do have quite a few lovely dog babies that we love with all our hearts! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medications or injections.
“We took our two dogs to Alice for a day trip - we were headed to Lake Michigan, and wanted to be sure the dogs were well cared-for. Alice was very cordial and her instructions clear. The dogs seem happy and content, and I couldn't believe the report on the dogs I received by email! It was a wonderful thing to see that they were doing well. Nice touch! No doubt a lot of work for Alice, but it is appreciated. We'll definitely book with Alice again. Happy dogs are very important to us.”

“Larry was spectacular with our Yorkie, princesa. She was happy when I arrived to pick up her. He sent me pictures all the time. She had a great time, and I enjoyed my vacations knowing that she was in good hands!!! Thank you Larry”
“Paige was WONDERFUL! Very communicative and personable. She asked that I come 15–20 minutes early to discuss Dakota's routine, ask any questions, and tour her home and backyard. It made me feel super comfortable, and I appreciated her willingness to help. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I had taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very young. I have relied on me to walked, feed and bathe their pets. I had also trained 2 dogs with some of the sign language as well to teach the animals to sit and stay with the American sign language. My friends and family have relied on me to take their dogs to the dog park, the beach and go on the morning hike. Just really take care of their animals with the love, respect and support for those need my help for them to enjoy their time or a getaway! I'm currently working from home on my own flexible schedule! I do have a lot of time in between working virtually and I can do my job anywhere! So if I take the dogs to the park or go on a walk, I could work on my phone to reply my emails, messages etc. I do have the good balance of taking a break from work to spend the time with the animals to give them my attention and cuddles and go on a walks or adventures! First thing first is to care the animals with respect, love and comfort to be in your home. If I was at your house, I am that person that will follow your wishes and expectations of how you would want me to care for your animals. I do clean up after myself when I am at your house and to keep it tidy clean as you like it to be. I also like to step outside with the dogs/cats to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. I love to have the transparency communication with the owners as well. I will always ask the owner before assuming or trying things out. I love to meet the animals before starting the whole process to feel it out how the energy goes for us and for your animals too. If it flows great with you, I and your animals then there will be lots of pictures will be shared to you as well!
“Melissa went above and beyond while taking care of my dog Amaya. She is an excellent caring person. I was nervous about the process because it is my first time on Rover. She helped me so much and put my mind at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“It’s amazing. Although it is the daycare, 6 videos are taken and we are happy to see that my dog play well with other dog. When she came back my home, she fall sleep immediately. I bet she definitely had a nice and fun time in here! Also, I had nice conversations and feedback after day care. Love it and really appreciate they take care of my dog.”
About: I have been around animals most of my life and currently care for several dogs of my own on our 20-acre farm just outside Hastings, Michigan. Dogs staying with me are treated like part of the family and live in a home environment rather than a kennel setting. Because I have experience managing multiple dogs at once, I understand pack behavior, supervision, feeding routines, and how to safely separate dogs when needed. I also have fenced areas, pasture space, and wooded land where dogs can safely explore and exercise. My goal is to provide a calm, safe place where dogs can run, play, relax, and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I provide home-style dog daycare on our peaceful 20-acre farm just outside Hastings, Michigan. Because I care for dogs from home, I am able to supervise them throughout the day. Dogs enjoy time indoors with the family as well as supervised outdoor playtime on the property. I keep daycare small (maximum of 8 guest dogs) so every dog receives attention, exercise, and a calm environment. Dogs spend their day playing, exploring, relaxing, and socializing with the pack. Dogs in my care stay in a home environment rather than a kennel facility. They spend time indoors with the family and also enjoy supervised outdoor time on our farm, including fenced areas and open space to explore. Safety is very important, so I carefully monitor interactions between dogs and separate them if needed. Dogs may be crated briefly during feeding or rest times to prevent food aggression and allow quiet breaks. I limit daycare to a small group to keep the environment safe and manageable.
“Brianna has watched my puppy a few times and naturally, as puppies can be, she was pretty hyper and crazy, but Brianna did such a great job with her and my puppy was so happy when I went to pick her up! She’s very kind and I’ll definitely be using her again?”
About: I am a retired registered nurse with a lifetime of caring for people. I have always had pets but, sadly, mine passed away recently. So, I look forward to sharing love to your pet! . Now that I am retired I have the time to spend each day showering your fur baby with love. I also like the exercise it gives when taking them for a walk. I am available all day to devote to your pet. I look forward to playing g outside with them. This is perfect activity for me and for your pet. I have an area off the garage that is fenced in for safety. I also have a big yard that allows us to play outside and a perfect area to walk your dog downtown in our little village.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life.

I also am currently going to school online, so that helps free my schedule. Willing to book unanticipated appointments as well :) In my client’s home, I focus on providing attentive, personalized care. I ensure pets stay on their feeding schedules, can administer oral medications responsibly, and adapt to their unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I am home in MI with my parents for the summer, so I’d love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and energy levels. I am also Fear Free certified, so I pride myself on providing comfortable visits. I will be in the Battle Creek area from June through August. Come August, I will be in the Champaign, IL area. My daily/weekly schedule is fairly open as I do not have a current job. My pets are allowed on furniture. However, I will respect whatever rules you have in place with your pet. I tend to do an outside break every 2-4 hours depending on weather, but in the summer most days are spent outside. I feed my dog on a 2 meal schedule, but can accommodate the pet(s) normal meal routines.
About: I have owned many dogs and cats my whole life and have cared for them in all aspects! I have taken care of many peoples pets since I was old enough to drive!

About: I have always had animals every since I was young, from cats and dogs, to fish and hamsters. As soon as I moved out I got two cats, later on I met my now husband who had two dogs, growing our family. Animals bring me joy and comfort, I have pet sitted family friends pets, neighbors chickens, and I have also worked in pet retail where I grew my knowledge in animal care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I’ve always had animals of my own. I’m currently unemployed, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, care, and companionship they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I believe everything starts with communication and understanding each pet’s normal routine, preferences, and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for by keeping feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions consistent with what they’re used to at home. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos when needed, so they can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while respecting both the pet and the client’s home.

“This was Daryl’s second overnight stay with Taya, and once again he had the time of his life playing with Taya’s dogs. Taya sent lots of updates and pictures and videos so we could be sure he was doing well.”
“Our dogs just finished up an 11 night stay with Kelli, and they had the best time! We know our dogs always get plenty of love and care and exercise at Kelli’s place, and we’re so grateful! Knowing our dogs were so happy and healthy while we’re away helped us enjoy a long overdue vacation. Thank you Kelli!!”
“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”
“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Amazing people, kept me updated on my babies constantly because I was so nervous ? but they were so accommodating and my babies had so much fun. Will definitely book them again next time we come to Michigan!”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“Larry was awesome! He had my lil Maggie for almost two weeks we were just passing through and had car trouble and he extended her stay on the fly for us. When I picked her up she was so happy! If I need a dog boarder again I will definitely call Larry.”
“Brooklyn was great. Sent plenty of pictures. Ammo was a little timid at first. Brooklyn sent me picture and kept me updated on his comfortability progression and it didn't take long. Work recommend her for sure!”
“Alice was great this weekend while I was out of town for two days! My two dogs appeared to be very happy with her and were happy as usual when I picked them up! Alice is a great communicator, shared fun pics of my pups while I was gone and was informative. I will happily use her services again!”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”
About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a pet care specialist and foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so my schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.
“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”
“We could tell right away that Brooke is a total dog person--our dog was immediately at ease with her and her two adorable dogs. She was in communication with us our entire trip and we could tell our dog was getting lots of love and attention, and that Brooke was keyed into her personality. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our dog again.”
“Brianna was very good at communication, made us comfortable that our dogs were doing well while we were out of town. She sent pictures of them and was quick to answer our questions. Highly recommend!”
