“Julie took great care of our girl! You could tell they treated her like their own. We got several picture updates through the week which helped my son who missed her like crazy. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Amanda is amazing and went above and beyond. Her home is adorable and clean. The photos she sent were stunning and captured Joey having a wonderful time. Joey came home very happy! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“We had a great experience booking with Katherine. She was super friendly and our pups loved hanging out at their farm. Katherine sent us daily photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. Willow, who is our sensitive pup, didn't want to leave and we could tell she was super happy with her stay. We will happily book with them in the future!”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
“Clara did a fantastic job. My dod came back home happy and healthy. Clara's home and facilities are ideal and about the best you could ask for. I will definitely be bringing my dog back. :)”
“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”
“Trina loves dogs, it's plain to see. My dog enjoys his overnight stay's over her home because he gets lots of love & gets to play with her dogs. I feel that he's happy while in her care & well taken care of! I'll definitely use her more when we go out of town. :)”
“We are so lucky to have found Heather! She gives daily updates of our pets and sends videos and pictures, which makes our time away a lot less difficult. She truly cares about our pets!”
“Nayoma was terrific! She asked a lot of questions at our meet and greet in order to understand my dog's needs and personality. She kept me posted frequently on how things were going. Maisy wasn't sure she wanted to leave when I picked her up!”
“Second time using Savannah’s services and once again she did an amazing job! Nova was super tired when she got home which I was very grateful for, lol. The only bad thing is that this site has a max on tipping and I couldn’t tip her what I wanted to.”
“Deb did a wonderful job watching our mini-goldendoodle, Rosa for her first overnight. She kept us informed on how she was doing and made Rosa feel right at home. We are so lucky to have found someone as caring and responsible as Deb.”
“Krystal is wonderful with dogs and very understanding of their different quirks. She was able to help me out last minute over the Christmas holiday and I couldn’t be more thankful. I would definitely recommend her.”
“My dog had a great time at Becky’s playing with two dogs that were there. She even went on a special family outing with them (with our permission). Becky sent pictures and videos which made our time away extra enjoyable. My dog doesn’t usually eat when she’s away from home but Becky said she had no problem with eating. I attribute that to Becky creating such a comforting, home-like experience for her. I will definitely be booking Becky again!”
“Tasha provided excellent care and communication throughout our 4-month old puppy's 10-day stay at her home. We received daily updates, photos, and often, videos. She monitored his eating and elimination behaviors, as well as ensuring he got out and played with the other dogs on a daily basis. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to choose Tasha for our next boarding need.”

About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐱❤️ I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants lots of attention or a shy kitty who prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pets are being cared for in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, spaces, and routines. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your cat gets the individual attention they need. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during visits so you can relax knowing your kitty is safe, happy, and loved. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your feline family!
About: I am a proud foster of 16 fur babies, and rehabilitator of both wild life and domestic pets. Cats I worked with my entire life, from fosters to strays, to catch and release
“Amie did a fantastic job cat-sitting for us and put our minds completely at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She went out of her way to make everything very easy for us, including the meet and greet and returning our keys. She also sent great pictures, and she left our home very clean and tidy. We definitely recommend her.”
“Wonderful person and animal sitter! Theresa was consistent and communicative. We will definitely be using her again to watch our menagerie. Thank you for the peace of mind and for loving our babies while we were away!”
“Anthony was great with our dog Nelli! He was a great communicator. He gave Nelli lots of snuggles and great care. I will ask him to come again, we were very happy and grateful for his services!”
“Farrell did a great job with drop in visits to take care of my cat while I was away on vacation for a week. I was always notified of the check in daily and Farrell sent pics of my kitty along with a short update on how she was doing. My cat can be temperamental and sassy, but Farrell did a great job! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my kitty was well taken care of.”
“Heather was so wonderful with our dogs! She even came over for a meet and greet a few days before to make sure she knew the ins and outs of their care! My dogs are high energy and she wasn’t phased at all, handled them so well with so much care!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to calm seniors. I understand that cats have their own unique needs and routines, and I provide gentle, patient, and attentive care during every visit. Feeding, fresh water, and medication if needed. Litter box cleaning and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Playtime, cuddles, and mental enrichment. Regular updates with photos so you know your cat is happy and comfortable.
“We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.”
“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Morgan was great as always! She took great care of our fur babies. She even cleaned out the food dishes when they were empty. Love having her come take care of our babies.”

“Julie and her husband, Joe, took good care of Obi. It was his first time staying with them. Julie sent me a picture and video of Obi having a good time. Their dog Barron was not home to play with, but I think they played with Obi and gave him lots of attention.”
“Heather was wonderful with my pup. She was very patient and understanding with a new doggie in her beautiful home. She was also very flexible and responsive. Her pets are also very welcoming and easily welcomed my dog Fiona into their pack. I had a stress free day thanks to Heather!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover, mom of four, and experienced pet caregiver who genuinely believes our pets are part of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and all those little quirks that make your pet unique. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and a variety of animals through our own busy little homestead. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m happy to help! My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of affection while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you don’t miss them too much! ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! I care for my own dogs, cats, ducks, and chickens every day, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibility and consistency that comes with caring for animals. I’m home full-time for most of the day, with only school drop-offs/pick-ups and occasional errands taking me away. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide frequent potty breaks, typically every 1–2 hours, as well as regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I love being home and having animals around, so pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle rather than feeling like just another job. 🐾 I tailor care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, routine, and comfort level. For boarding and doggy daycare in my home, pets become part of our household routine with plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, and downtime. I have a large home and a country setting, so there’s room for pets to be comfortable and enjoy their time here. For dog sitting and walks, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’m home full-time for the most part, so I’m able to provide frequent care and attention rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll communicate with you throughout their stay or visit and am happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. 🐾
“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”
About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina
About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
“Debbie did a great job watching our mini golden doodle while we were having trees cut down. Rosa warmed up to her quickly. Will be bringing Rosa over to her house for some overnights this summer.”
About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs.

I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend.

About: I have been around dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with puppies and dogs of every size! I have dog sat for many people in the past, and I always treat them like my own little family members. I work at a public school, so my typical work schedule is from 7-3:15 Monday-Friday. During the weekends, I am able to dedicate more time for your pet if needed! I am a visual person, and I thrive off of written instructions! My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)

“Julie took great care of our girl! You could tell they treated her like their own. We got several picture updates through the week which helped my son who missed her like crazy. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Amanda is amazing and went above and beyond. Her home is adorable and clean. The photos she sent were stunning and captured Joey having a wonderful time. Joey came home very happy! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“We had a great experience booking with Katherine. She was super friendly and our pups loved hanging out at their farm. Katherine sent us daily photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. Willow, who is our sensitive pup, didn't want to leave and we could tell she was super happy with her stay. We will happily book with them in the future!”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
“Clara did a fantastic job. My dod came back home happy and healthy. Clara's home and facilities are ideal and about the best you could ask for. I will definitely be bringing my dog back. :)”
“Nayoma was terrific! She asked a lot of questions at our meet and greet in order to understand my dog's needs and personality. She kept me posted frequently on how things were going. Maisy wasn't sure she wanted to leave when I picked her up!”
“Second time using Savannah’s services and once again she did an amazing job! Nova was super tired when she got home which I was very grateful for, lol. The only bad thing is that this site has a max on tipping and I couldn’t tip her what I wanted to.”
“Deb did a wonderful job watching our mini-goldendoodle, Rosa for her first overnight. She kept us informed on how she was doing and made Rosa feel right at home. We are so lucky to have found someone as caring and responsible as Deb.”
“Krystal is wonderful with dogs and very understanding of their different quirks. She was able to help me out last minute over the Christmas holiday and I couldn’t be more thankful. I would definitely recommend her.”
“My dog had a great time at Becky’s playing with two dogs that were there. She even went on a special family outing with them (with our permission). Becky sent pictures and videos which made our time away extra enjoyable. My dog doesn’t usually eat when she’s away from home but Becky said she had no problem with eating. I attribute that to Becky creating such a comforting, home-like experience for her. I will definitely be booking Becky again!”
“Tasha provided excellent care and communication throughout our 4-month old puppy's 10-day stay at her home. We received daily updates, photos, and often, videos. She monitored his eating and elimination behaviors, as well as ensuring he got out and played with the other dogs on a daily basis. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to choose Tasha for our next boarding need.”
“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
“Morgan took great care of our old guy and she was very accommodating on short notice! She sent regular updates and we felt he was comfortable and well loved. Thank you, Morgan for giving us peace of mind.”
“Willo was absolutely great with Kobe kept me updated with pictures and just did an awesome job my dog really enjoyed the company of her dogs and atmosphere surrounding her area.. I would choose her anytime”
