“Jeanne and her family were perfect hosts for our Boston Terrier. She was extremely respnsive, especially given our same day request for boarding. It is clear she loves animals and our dog became a part of their family while he was there, spending time playing with her boys and her own very sweet (and very small) dog, PIp. I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet care in the Mt. Pleasant area.”
“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Our two pups stayed with Larisa while we were gone for a few days. Larisa is so sweet. She’s confident, loving and knows dogs. Our pup, Lemmy, can definitely be anxious when boarding, but he did great with her! She is a good communicator and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions. I felt confident leaving my pups with her and wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with her again.”
“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Erin was amazing to work with. She was in continual communication and sent many pictures and updates. We would 100% use her again. I know my boy was well loved when he was with her.”
“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”
“I was so happy to find Kathy. My dog Ashley was able to stay in a nice and clean home similar to hers and made friends along the way. Kathy is very much a dog lover I was not worried about Ashley at all. A very good feeling. I will definitely leave her again when I am back in area”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”
“Janis did a great job with Remi! I was a bit apprehensive about her two larger dogs with my 27 lb. boy, but she kept things in order and even sent me a video of him hanging out with another dog she was watching. It was comforting to know he was in good hands for the day.”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
About: I've lived with pets every day of my life and recently had to move and miss dogs so much!

About: Cats have always felt like my other half. Since I was 5 I have been rescuing and caring for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and just recently rescued a little kitten that was trapped inside a car. I love making them feel comfortable and cared for because they always return that love ten times over! There's no better feeling than knowing that they feel safe around you, and that's something I will forever strive for.
“Lily was terrific. She connected with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She stayed in touch with us so we knew how each visit went and we could ask and answer questions. Would definitely have Lily pet sit again.”
“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of quite a few cats and attuning to every cat’s specific needs! I’ve taken care of a cat that requires medicine with their meals, and I’ve taken care of cat’s where I’m just going over to give them some love and attention when their owner is away during the day. I enjoy taking care of cats and ensuring they are as happy as can be!
“Brooke was wonderful and caring. She took great care of our cat for over two weeks. Brooke does seem to prefer to visit later in the evenings, which wasn’t a problem once I figured this out. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of cats and pets since I was 10. People from my neighborhood, friends, and family. They all have relied on me to check in, feed, give medicine, and simply just to play with them.
About: Hi! My name is Delayna, I’m 26 y/o and love love love animals! From dogs and cats big and small, I have had them all. I am no stranger in knowing how to properly care for a pet. For as long as I can remember, I have always been taking care of dogs and have been responsible for them. The smallest being a 5 lb Yorkie named Spike, who came to me as a puppy; the largest was a 90 lb Pitbull / Staffy mix named Thor, who I rescued from a humane society. No matter your dog’s breed, size, or age, I promise they will be in good hands. Leaving your dog isn’t just scary for them, but it can be scary for you too. You want someone you can trust. And you can trust that every second I am watching them, I will love them and care for them like they are my own. I am currently in between jobs, so I am available anytime to watch and care for your pets! All I ask is that you give me a couple days notice if you want my services. Please let me know of any instructions you have for me regarding caring for your pet. This includes a feeding and walking schedule, if they need to be crated, etc. Everyone has a different way they care for their pets. It’s important to stick to routines, as it can lessen the stress on the animals when their owner is not around. Not only this, but it is much safer for myself and the animals if I have all the information and know how they behave. Along with this, I’d love to have an open line of communication for any questions and or concerns. I strongly encourage a meet and greet beforehand as well, so the animals (and you) can get to know me and we make sure it’s a good fit!
About: The reason that you should trust me with something as special and loved as your canine friend is because of how deeply I care about animals and their happiness. Not only do I love dogs I also love training them! I have successfully self trained a service dog and have also trained many of my friends and family’s dogs in standard obedience. I have taken care of dogs from 8weeks to 12 years and feel confident in my care for them. I have a passion for teaching which is probably why I love training so much! In line with my love for teaching, I work at an aftercare program! I love this job because it only requires my to be out of the house for a short 2 hours everyday at 3. This makes it easy to be able to spend as much time as possible with your furry friend! Although I am new to this app, I am not new to dog sitting. I have plenty of references and I am completely open to meet and greets with the dog or with my dogs if you are feeling uncertain!🥰 - Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I have very few commitments on a daily basis where I have to be out of the house or unavailable. I am highly flexible with a lot different types of schedules and routines, and I can guarantee that I will always make an effort to try and accommodate my schedule with what you and your fur baby need🥰 - Baths - Walks - Feeding - Potty training - Medicine administration - Car rides - Play time - Training - Cuddles - TAPLYO(treat every pet like your own) - Anything else you can think of message me so I can add to my list!!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alamando
“Samantha is responsive, cheerful and friendly. Tag had a wonderful time staying with her family, including Stanley, a sweet golden retriever. We won’t hesitate to use Samantha again and recommend her highly to others!”
“This guy is the real deal! He knows what he’s doing. For example, he knows how to introduce dogs to each other and is very observant of dog behavior. I feel very secure with him taking care of my little guy.”
“Max and Mariah were incredible and working with me to help provide care for my parents dog when a family emergency occurred. It was reassuring to find a place that meant their dog was safe and cared for and my parents could focus on what they needed to. I highly reccomend.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“Heather and her dog Jasper was so very nice and understanding (potty accidents) from excitement and room to run with newfound friend. Kept a good eye Alphie who can be a sassy brat or over excited. She's a lovely person who cares for any new buddies for Jasper, her pup. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family!

We have a large open park right in our backyard along with short trails. We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and is great with big, small, old and young dogs. We also two cats (a boy and girl) that sleep the day away and love spending time looking outside in the sunroom. My three kids (ages 9 - 14) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!

“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family.

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
About: I will care for your pets happiness and well being. Making sure they are comfortable and stress free. We will have playtime and cuddles too. I currently work part time two days a week. When I accept pets it will be on my days off so I can be home to enjoy and play with your fur baby. Making sure all their needs are met. I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to go outside safely and enjoy being outdoors. Your pet will not be left outside unattended.

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals.

I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Our two pups stayed with Larisa while we were gone for a few days. Larisa is so sweet. She’s confident, loving and knows dogs. Our pup, Lemmy, can definitely be anxious when boarding, but he did great with her! She is a good communicator and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions. I felt confident leaving my pups with her and wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with her again.”
“Erin was amazing to work with. She was in continual communication and sent many pictures and updates. We would 100% use her again. I know my boy was well loved when he was with her.”
“Rio had a wonderful time. He came home happy and worn out! I am so thankful for Christin’s calm and loving care. She is a true dog whisperer! I love getting photos and all the play Rio gets to have there with other dogs.”
“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”
“Janis did a great job with Remi! I was a bit apprehensive about her two larger dogs with my 27 lb. boy, but she kept things in order and even sent me a video of him hanging out with another dog she was watching. It was comforting to know he was in good hands for the day.”
“an absolute lifesaver! They were available last minute, communicated far above expectations, and shared photos that gave me total peace of mind. They were wonderful to meet and clearly cares deeply about the dogs theywatches. I would absolutely recommend this family and will be booking again.”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
