“Great communication, including photos of my happy dog playing with the family’s kids. Had no issue giving her refrigerated food. Thank you for taking my anxious pup on short notice and making her so comfortable!”
“Kelli is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving our dog since he has some separation anxiety, but Kelli was fantastic. Her regular updates put me at ease and Mooshu loved running around her big yard! Would 100% recommend Kelli and her services.”
“Anna & her family were the best! My dogs (lab & schnauzer/terrier) loved all of the attention they got from everyone! Anna updated me multiple times a day with pics of all of the loving my girls received! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Julie & her husband, Joe watched my Jack Russell Terrier for a night recently. They both are very knowledgeable about dogs & treated mine as their own. I noticed my dog, Milo was very calm & seemed happy after we picked him up from their home. He got to spend time with their standard poodle, Bella which is great socialization for him. I will definitely use them in for future dog sitting needs. ?”
“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”
“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”
“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”
“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!”
“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“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!!!”
“Nayoma was great. We met a week before for a meet and greet at her house and got to know our dogs. While taking care of our dogs, kept us posted with fun pictures. We just picked them up and they are happy and tired 😁”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our dog while we were away for a week. We loved all the updates she would share and I could see that our dog was very well cared for and absolutely loved staying with Amy. Thank you so much!”
“Katlynn and her family were so great! They took great care of our 2 goldens and sent lots of updates! The whole process was made super easy and stress free! Immediate responses to any questions I had. We will definitely be using Katlynn again!”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”

“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”
“Shaira is very reliable and good with my dog. She gives great reports and photos through Rover. My dog looks happy in every photo. I highly recommend Shaira and will rebook with her when the need arises.”
“I travel a lot for work and don’t always have a lot of notice of when I will be leaving…..I always call on Ashton to help me with my kitty. She is honest, a sweetheart, reliable, and my cat loves her. Thanks Ashton!”
“Catherine was absolutely amazing with my boy. She followed all care instructions and was very patient with my young rambunctious pup. She even went the extra mile in playing with him to get some of that puppy energy out. She took note of the puppy mess in his bed and offered to throw the bed in the wash and replace it with something else before putting him back in the crate. This was my first time using Rover and thanks to my experience with Catherine, I would certainly use it again!”
“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”

About: I have had cats in my life for more than 30 years. I know they can range from independent to shy to super affectionate companions. I have had all of these personalities over the years with my current 18 year old cat as a very vocal and affectionate cat. I would like to offer reassurance that I would not only feed the fur baby but play and spend time with them and clean the boxes.
“Nadia was a joy to work with. Very professional. She kept us informed on the days events. Sent pics & videos of her interaction with our kitty's! Put my mind at ease, since I've never left my 2 year old cats alone. Plus she maintained security of my shop & belongings. I would highly recommend Nadia. We will always request her. If your looking for someone that is on top of their game + trustworthy, its Nadia”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Athens
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I am working on some pretty amazing updates. Additional outdoor yards are in the works, as well as a perimeter fence around the home property! I have also added Tracki to my collars. Tracki runs on global GPS (satellite feedback) and not cellular feedback, giving that extra security for your pups with no interruption in tracking! Bark & Barn is a privately insured in-home kennel that provides overnight and day boarding options as well as drop-in visits/walks for all pets, exotic included. I also provide optional training for dogs. I have five years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a high volume multi-species setting. With this, I have gained the knowledge, training, and experience in animal behavior as well as proper technique in safe animal hold, administering all forms of medication, administering emergency fluids, and animal CPR. Your pups will have access to multiple sections of my home, a fenced play yard, and walks over 120 acres of farm fields and streamed woods! I offer basic puppy training during board and day stays, including potty and crate training. I will gladly accept shark puppies, understanding completely how difficult these pups can be for many caretakers who are not experienced in their breed characteristics. I've worked with and owned dogs for over 17 years. I have a preference for high energy/high drive dogs, though I love all of them just the same. I am a farm mom of school aged children, work remotely, a full-time online student at KCC while my kids sleep, and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I will follow strict biosecurity and safety measures. I am by no means a "doggy playcare". For their and my safety, I do not allow guest pups to interact together. I have sectioned off portions of my home and large basement for roam, and utilize sanitized in-home kennels for overnight and unattended times as well as movement of guests (inside, outside, walks, etc). I currently have full availability outside of school drop-off in the mornings and flexible pick-ups in the afternoon. I spend my free time caring for my own animals and attending online classes and seminars! I have a knack for social cues and when and how to approach. Discipline is and will always be reinforcement based. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand any dog can be reactive in the right setting, so meet and greets are a must! Our personal working dogs are not within the home's boundaries and remain with their flock at all times.
“Alexia was wonderful! Such a passionate person and even was able to book the puppies on a short notice. Very honest person and took lots of pictures. I know my 2 will be well taken care of next vacation!!”
“We were so pleased to find Rex in a very last minute request after our dog care fell through. He was nice and helpful and just great with Walter. We'll use him again!”
“Kelli took care of both of our Labradors for a long, snowy day, and she was wonderful! Great communication and fun photos, and our dogs were so well cared for. It is so reassuring to leave our pups with someone who has so much experience caring for dogs.”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life. My real passion is dogs and I’m focused on dog sitting/boarding/daycare, but I’m happy to take care of cats and drop in for other animals. I have owner trained (working with professional trainers) one at home service dog and am in the process of owner training a public access service dog. I use fear free training methods and animal management (no tools like e and prong collars). This means sometimes things take a little longer and look a little chaotic, but as long as all the animals are safe and as happy and healthy as possible, that’s what matters. I have two yellow labs (one bench, one field), a mixed breed rescue, and a cat. All my animals are very animal friendly. My big lab does take a noisy minute to adjust, but he’s a big sweetheart once he’s got the lay of the land. I have a yard with a living fence and a wooded property where the dogs can be walked if needed. I am home full time and just becoming an empty nester, so I have plenty of time and attention to devote to our furry friends. Most days it will just be me and the animals on our wooded property so there’s plenty of time and room for relaxation and play. I have a fairly large fenced yard and wooded surrounding property. My home is laid back and the animals are treated like family. They are welcome on furniture and have plenty of room to play and toys to play with. I just ask they be on tick and heartworm prevention as there are many bugs in the woods. I utilize positive reinforcement techniques in my home and do not use tools like e and prong collars. We use lots of treats to reward good behavior, so if there’s something your dog can’t have, please let me know. I have regular experience with basic grooming and administering meds. I have crates available if needed or preferred. I’ll do my best to care for them as you want. Our big lab, George does have some scary looking anxiety upon meeting (barking and growling). If you are boarding/daycare/meet and greet with us, George will be in a pen on leash, harness, and muzzle to start (either inside or outside weather dependent-prefer outside). As your dog explores, I will work with George to adapt to the new situation and eventually greet your dog appropriately. Once that happens, he’s good with appropriate play, boundary setting, etc…. It’s just the initial greeting that needs a little more management.
“The best!! my lila had a great time, i would recommend using shawnia a million times. communicated very well and kept me updated throughout the day. My girl had a blast and we will definitely be back.”
“Our dog is an hour into her first time ever being with a dogsitter. Anna is so amazing! She sent me pics right away and said that they already love Porsha. Then she offered to give her a bath. I am blown away.”
“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!!”
About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, I am currently available Sunday-Saturday from 11am-6pm. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.
“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!”
“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.”
“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”
“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.”
“McKensi was super awesome with my dogs! Lots of pictures and updates during my pups first daycare, and made me very comfortable that he was safe and loved during his stay! Will definitely be booking 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 free time in between working online while taking care of the fur animals! I’m also an active person who loves to go on my daily walks or simply just being outside barefoot in the grass with the pets outside to listen to podcasts while watching the fur animals or playing with them indoor/outdoors with their toys. I enjoy being a stay home business entrepreneur while having pets around to keep me busy and balanced. Their cuddles would be the best to receive! 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 to keep my eyes on them or even just being outside with them and play with their toys to give them my joyful attention. The cat’s care will be attentive and loving! 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!

“Shaira is everything you need in a care for a dog, she very attentive, knowledgeable, and showed class and professionalism and she's very aware of problems if they exist ,I was pleasantly surprised in her intuition dealing with Thor my American Bully. She kept me up to date with pictures and walks, this was my 1st time leaving Thor with anyone, and she understood what to do and how to react, I cannot say more about this young woman, she will be at the top of my list when I need someone to take care of Thor...

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 love taking care of both dogs and cats! I have a dog and a cat, so I know what other owners are looking for in terms of care and love for their pet. I always look forward to meeting new pets and establishing connections with them, even if just for one visit! I have volunteered for years at various animal shelters and have gained much experience working with all types of temperaments. I am patient and loving with all pets, and I strive to meet their needs in any way I can. I am more than willing to work with pets who have special accommodations, and I am also very comfortable working with puppies (and I can help with training if requested)! I also have experience administrating oral medication in both dogs and cats. I am generally free any day of the week, including weekends. I enjoy taking care of pets because I feel that I understand them and their needs more than the average person. I will be very attentive with your pet, and make sure to send many pictures of them to you! I will interact with your pet based on their needs and how they feel around new people.

“Great communication, including photos of my happy dog playing with the family’s kids. Had no issue giving her refrigerated food. Thank you for taking my anxious pup on short notice and making her so comfortable!”
“Kelli is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving our dog since he has some separation anxiety, but Kelli was fantastic. Her regular updates put me at ease and Mooshu loved running around her big yard! Would 100% recommend Kelli and her services.”
“Anna & her family were the best! My dogs (lab & schnauzer/terrier) loved all of the attention they got from everyone! Anna updated me multiple times a day with pics of all of the loving my girls received! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He had such a wonderful stay, made so many new friends, and came home happy and well cared for. Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like one of her own. We never had to worry for a second knowing he was with her. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Julie & her husband, Joe watched my Jack Russell Terrier for a night recently. They both are very knowledgeable about dogs & treated mine as their own. I noticed my dog, Milo was very calm & seemed happy after we picked him up from their home. He got to spend time with their standard poodle, Bella which is great socialization for him. I will definitely use them in for future dog sitting needs. ?”
“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”
“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”
“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!”

“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!”
“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”
