“Rex and his fiance helped us out in a pinch and were super flexible allowing us to drop off at almost 8pm on Christmas Eve! Very communicative and most importantly my dog had a great time. Don't live in the area but if I ever need another dog sitter in Battle Creek/Kzoo area, I'll certainly use Rex again.”
“From a first-time Rover user, Kelli was a great caregiver for our dog when we went out of town. She was very attentive, sent lots of photos and videos to make sure we felt comfortable and knew he was well taken care of.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“This is my second time trusting Deb to care for Ralph. It was a very last minute request and I thank her tremendously for being there for me and Ralph in a pinch. Deb’s home is clean and well maintained. I love that Ralph always has friends to play with when he goes there and she takes excellent care of Ralph. I trust her completely.”
“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.”
“Taya was absolutely amazing with Travis! She was very responsive and sent us pictures of our pup throughout his stay. She is so kind, and sweet! You can definitely tell she is passionate about what she does and treats all the pets that stay with her, as she would her own! We could Travis was so happy staying with her, and enjoyed being able to socialize with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Taya to anyone that is trying Rover out. This was my first experience using Rover, and first time leaving my 7 month old puppy. Overall the experience was great and I felt a lot less anxious knowing Travis was in great hands!!”
“Our dog Charlie had another great stay with Julie! She always takes such good care of him. He is a busy dog, but he comes home from his stays with her tired and happy.”
“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!!”
“Jenai and Sean have taken wonderful care of our two active Aussies. I’m picky about who cares for my dogs as they both have individual quarks and I trust Jenai and Sean 110%!”
“Im a little late to the review party but Kaila and her fur family are just AMAZING! I could not have found a better pup Sutter for Annie. Kaila cares for her like she's her own and this Alows my pup to socialize around other animals and people in a supervised and controlled setting and not be kooped up at home all the time . I truly appreciate Kaila and recomend her 100% ? plus she is so flexible...bonus!”
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.
“Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!”
“Great 1st experience for my Teddy and I. I’m so pleased with the care my boy received! This was our first time actually hiring a dog sitter and it was flawless, such a wonderful experience with Catherine. From beginning to end, she made everything so easy and comforting for my dog and I!”
“Jamie is great! Super easy to communicate with, listened to all concerns we had and wasn't phased by any. She has a lovely calm energy, and Loki felt very at ease with her. They sent pictures and updates and responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend!”

“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!!”

“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.”
“Shawnia was amazing! Always gave great photo updates and even walked up our snowy driveway to make sure our cats were taken care of when we got TONS of snow while out of town. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Eden was fabulous! From the parents of a high needs diabetic senior kitty we could not more enthusiastically recommend Eden as a pet sitter and care giver. They went above and beyond our expectations with great reports, pictures, and making sure they understood Finn's needs and care. Thanks Eden, you were awesome!”
“Harper didn't warm up to her, but that's because of him not Ashton. He's only ever warned up to one other person. She was very respectful of his space and comfort level and sent pics from every visit. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have tons of experience with cats, having grown up with and taken care of them my entire life. My experience ranges from herding barn cats to helping strays to hanging out with indoor pet cats.
“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”
“Kelli was such a great sitter for our two cats. She was consistent each day, went above and beyond with her updates and how she took care of our space, and was very thoughtful in how she interacted with our cats. Our shy cat was even the first one to greet her each morning, which says a lot about Kelli’s ability to connect with animals. Overall an excellent experience!”
“This the second time I've booked Olivia and she continues to take great care of my two cats! She was great about adapting to both cats, especially since one is shy and hides. I would highly recommend Olivia!”
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 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.
“Camrynn did a great job on very short notice from me! My cats, Harambe and Javy, looked forward to her visits and all of the pets she gave them. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Camrynn on day one!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, and my home, The Cozy Critter Cottage, is a cozy, whimsical place where pets can relax and feel at home while their owners are away. Many people say our home feels like stepping into a magical storybook, with cozy spaces and lots of warmth. It’s the perfect environment for animals who enjoy comfort, attention, and a calm home atmosphere. I have several years of experience caring for and training animals, and I’m comfortable working with pets with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I adapt to their routine so they feel safe and happy. My own animal family includes three friendly ragdoll kitties, a sweet Pomeranian, fish, and chickens. All of my pets are well-socialized and used to being around other animals, which helps visiting pets settle in comfortably. I’m also able to accommodate animals who may need extra space or a quieter environment. My home is large enough that pets can be comfortably separated if needed, which can be helpful for animals who prefer their own space, are adjusting to new environments, or require special care. When pets stay here they are treated like family. They’ll have plenty of attention, cozy spots to relax, playtime, and lots of love. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, training cues, and any specific instructions you provide. I offer most services available on Rover, including boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing during their stay. My goal is simple: a safe, happy, magical little vacation for your pet while you’re 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.”
“DeEtte did a wonderful job taking care of Finn for us. She met us ahead of time to go over his routine and schedule, and during the visit took great care of our boy! He was very happy and we were too. Highly recommend DeEtte and will be using her regularly!”

“Rex is very easy going and flexible. My dog went right to him without hesitation. She had a great time playing with his dogs and was very tired when she came home. I will use Rex again without hesitation.”
“A-MAY-ZING My pup had the BEST time at Taya’s! She got lots of playing, and I got lots of pics and video of how much fun she was having. We will definitely be back, and driving from Battle Creek because it’s worth it. Thanks guys!”
“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! 🐾”
“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.”
“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 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!
“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!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“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 been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do have a dog of my own. But other then babysitting for family and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.
“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.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day.
“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!”
“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!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits
About: Hi! I have had pets in my life for over a decade and am truly an animal person. I love taking care of animals and am excited at the idea that I can do it at least semi-professionally. In the past, it has been one of my favorite jobs. I have experience with horses, sheep, ducks, guinea pigs, snails, fish, and hermit crabs, as well as cats and dogs. This background has provided me with skills in maintaining appropriate attention to feeding and training routines in multiple species at a time. I have learned to be adaptable to an animal’s habits as they adapt to my presence. Some special skills I have include caring for disabled and senior pets, providing preventative and responsive medication, managing food according to allergies, taking care of trained attack dogs, and providing first aid in an emergency situation. I am a student so am mainly free in the early/mid morning and mid/late afternoons and evenings during the school year. I am also free on the weekends. I have had lots of experience with unique pet care, such as with senior animal needs and allergy and medication awareness. With that experience and my background in care for multiple species, I feel comfortable recognizing signs of abnormal behavior.
About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies. I can spend time with your babies as needed I would come in a take them for walks feed and play with them if needed. Give them lots of of love and treats when needed

About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals, from hamsters to horses and especially have never lived anywhere without dogs or cats. I have years of farm and pet sitting experience and am comfortable with all animals. I'm a super active person and I love being outside with pets, playing with them or going for walks. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to spend as much time with them as possible. I'm currently working from home and have complete flexibility on time, so I can spend as much time as possible with animals during a sit. I'm very active and I walk, run, and/or hike every day, so I love being able to take dogs along with me on adventures, but I can also dedicate time to hanging out in a home. With such a flexible schedule, I can work with the needs of every different pet. I have a flexible routine and can adapt to different needs. I enjoy being on the go and will happily take pets out on adventures with me, but I can also appreciate staying in and having a relaxing day with a pet!
About: I have been around many different kinds of animals growing up. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working another job full time in the afternoons but I am happy and eager to accept any visits from the early morning until 12:30pm. Overnight visits are also available if I am able to have at least a weeks notice, thank you! Note: I cannot accept requests from clients that live on or near dirt roads in the winter as my car cannot make it through! As your pet sitter it’s my goal to make sure your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I would love to know their routines and personalities so I can care for them as best as possible! All animals in the home need to be included in the request! Cats bunnies and smaller animals in the home during overnight stays must be included in your request.
About: I have had all different kinds of animals since I was a little kid! I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up along with many other animals! I love all animals. I currently have three dogs and three cats. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am in college but my schedule is hybrid so I have all the time for your pets! I also have a 8 month old son so we are always looking for ways to get out of the house since I am a stay at home mom. Can take your dogs for a walk anywhere you would like for however long! Can accommodate to your pets needs however that may look for you pet. In home visits there will be lots of playing, potty breaks and petting!

My goal is simple: a safe, happy, magical little vacation for your pet while you’re away. 🐾✨ Pet care is a natural part of our daily life, and our routine is built around making sure our animal kiddos get consistent attention, structure, and love throughout the day. My wife and I coordinate our schedules so that someone is almost always home. I work full time Tuesday through Thursday, and during that time my wife is home caring for the animals and keeping their routines consistent. The rest of the week, we’re typically both home, which allows us to provide even more supervision, playtime, and one-on-one attention. We start the day with morning walks and feeding, followed by free-roam time in the home so pets can relax and settle in comfortably. Throughout the day, we provide enrichment, attention, and outdoor time in our fenced yard—something our Pomeranian especially enjoys, and visiting pets are welcome to enjoy as well. In the evenings, we do another walk along with wind-down time so pets feel calm and at ease. Because of this setup, pets staying with us are rarely left alone and get a great balance of activity, routine, and cozy relaxation in a safe, structured environment. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and are always supervised, comfortable, and well cared for. Our pets are our kids! :) Pets are welcome to free roam in a cozy, structured environment, with consistent routines that include feeding, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For pets who may need extra space, time to adjust, or a lower-stimulation environment, we are able to comfortably separate animals within the home. We also have a dedicated area for crates, making it easy to accommodate crate-trained pets or owner preferences.
About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life and they can be a big hassle. But it's always worth it in the end. I hope I can make it a little easier and reassuring for you! I live with only one cat at the moment, which is surprising I don't have more pets. But I do take care of my sister's 2 dogs sometimes. I kinda miss having more pets, but I can't get any at the moment, sadly. So I'm hoping this a good outlet for that. I hope to stop by and help your pet when I can, or give them a good walk. I always think that pets should get a good walk/run in at least once a day, especially if it's an energetic blue heeler or something. And I always enjoy a walk too. But if that's not their thing, I'm cool with chilling too and giving all the loving and pets.
About: I’m Kristen, a Behavioral Science major and a passionate dog mom for over 5 years. I currently care for my three lovable pitties — all with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Through them, I’ve gained real-life experience with leash training, enrichment, socialization, and managing multi-dog dynamics. I’m especially familiar with caring for velcro dogs (like mine!) who love close companionship and need that extra level of emotional support and attention. My Bachelor's in Behavioral Science helps give me a deep understanding of animal behavior. I use positive reinforcement techniques to build trust and encourage good habits. I'm great at reading cues, responding to their needs, and helping them feel comfortable and safe — I always aim to make dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether you have a shy pup, an energetic walker, or a dog who just needs some love and company, I'd be honored to help care for them like they're my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog walking throughout the day. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs and love incorporating dog walking into my daily routine — it gives me time outdoors, keeps me active, and most importantly, lets me spend time with even more amazing pups! A lot of my work is pet-focused, caring for dogs is already a huge part of my life — both online and off. Whether it's a morning stroll, midday energy burn, or afternoon walk-and-sniff, I’m able to reliably fit your dog’s needs into my day with full attention and love. As a dog walker and sitter, I treat every pup and every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and understood — and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands. Before each walk, I take time to greet your dog calmly, check their mood, and ensure they’re comfortable and ready to go. During walks, I stay alert, follow your dog’s pace, and make sure their walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their needs — whether that means getting some energy out or taking a slow, sniff-filled stroll. If I’m entering your home, I’m always mindful of your space and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave (feeding, water refills, post-walk routines, etc.) and always double-check things like locked doors and leashes for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, secure, and loved — and to make you feel fully at ease while they’re in my care.
About: I have had animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens… the list goes on and on! I have been caring for my own pets for at least the last 23 years and have cared for others’ pets for at least 15. I have experience with domestic, farm, and a few exotic animals! Our 10 year old pointer, Rooney, just passed away in February so I would like to love on YOUR pets while I grieve and prepare my heart to love a new dog of my own. I am home all day, so your pup would get all of the love and attention they deserve while in my care! I do have 4 young children, but they have grown up with dogs their entire lives and have learned how to be respectful of them. Your dog can be played with, walked, or just loved on! Whatever they need! I do have an indoor/outdoor cat, but she is extremely dog friendly. I look forward to taking care of your babies the next time you need some help! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home nearly all of the day. The longest your dog would be crated would be 1 hour. They will have full access to the backyard and will be given constant love and attention. I have a yard and the whole day to play with your pups or take them for walks! Me and my kids will totally enjoy playing fetch and chase and whatever else your dogs love to do!
About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.
About: I know how to handle more energetic or anxious animals and can read animals behaviors very well. I have worked at multiple veterinary clinics through internships as a vet assistant. I now work at an animal shelter as a part of the medical team + animal care team. Due to this I am able to administer any medication or care to your pet. I work 5 days a week but only for around 6 hours per shift so the rest of the day I can spend with your animal and caring for them :) I have a very large yard, not fenced but I will walk your animal around it and spend time with them outside (leashed) so they get lots of wxercise and enrichment. I have multiple rooms in which your animal can roam so they don’t feel trapped + toys. Your pet will get lots of play time, cuddles, and attention based on their needs!
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.
About: I have had big dogs and small dogs throughout my whole life raising all kinds of breeds from puppy's to healthy outstanding dogs, I can spot almost instantly when something is not quite right, I have a small dog myself we have raised her from 7 weeks, she is turning a year the end of this month, she has all of her shots and vaccines, health pup, she loves to play and loves to have friends over, if you are looking for a knowledgeable, fun, loving, and caring, dog sitter I'm your gal lol!!!!

“Rex and his fiance helped us out in a pinch and were super flexible allowing us to drop off at almost 8pm on Christmas Eve! Very communicative and most importantly my dog had a great time. Don't live in the area but if I ever need another dog sitter in Battle Creek/Kzoo area, I'll certainly use Rex again.”
“From a first-time Rover user, Kelli was a great caregiver for our dog when we went out of town. She was very attentive, sent lots of photos and videos to make sure we felt comfortable and knew he was well taken care of.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Taya was absolutely amazing with Travis! She was very responsive and sent us pictures of our pup throughout his stay. She is so kind, and sweet! You can definitely tell she is passionate about what she does and treats all the pets that stay with her, as she would her own! We could Travis was so happy staying with her, and enjoyed being able to socialize with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Taya to anyone that is trying Rover out. This was my first experience using Rover, and first time leaving my 7 month old puppy. Overall the experience was great and I felt a lot less anxious knowing Travis was in great hands!!”
“Our dog Charlie had another great stay with Julie! She always takes such good care of him. He is a busy dog, but he comes home from his stays with her tired and happy.”
“Jenai and Sean have taken wonderful care of our two active Aussies. I’m picky about who cares for my dogs as they both have individual quarks and I trust Jenai and Sean 110%!”
“Im a little late to the review party but Kaila and her fur family are just AMAZING! I could not have found a better pup Sutter for Annie. Kaila cares for her like she's her own and this Alows my pup to socialize around other animals and people in a supervised and controlled setting and not be kooped up at home all the time . I truly appreciate Kaila and recomend her 100% ? plus she is so flexible...bonus!”
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.
“Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!”
“Great 1st experience for my Teddy and I. I’m so pleased with the care my boy received! This was our first time actually hiring a dog sitter and it was flawless, such a wonderful experience with Catherine. From beginning to end, she made everything so easy and comforting for my dog and I!”
“Jamie is great! Super easy to communicate with, listened to all concerns we had and wasn't phased by any. She has a lovely calm energy, and Loki felt very at ease with her. They sent pictures and updates and responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend!”
“Boots had a blast with Tasha and her family! Would absolutely book again! He got lots of play time and interaction and came home tired and happy :) Tasha is also great about sending updates and pictures!”
“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”
“Natasha was an amazing with our dog! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of her. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell that our dog was happy and safe. We are so grateful to be able to leave our dog with such a kind, friendly and experienced dog sitter.”
“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.”
