Highly-rated overnight sitters - Benton
“My dog Milo did very well with Caroline. She took very good care of him and sent several updates and videos. Caroline is very caring and loves dogs! We highly recommend her and will be coming back to her.”
“Shashank was a wonderful dog sitter for Artie! He was very flexible with my last minute schedule and he was thorough in asking questions about Artie to make sure he provided a comfortable environment. I received consistent and fun updates throughout his stay. I can tell Artie really enjoyed his vacation! I would highly recommend this sitter and will be reaching out again.”
“Oscar provided clear communication and lots of photos of our pet while she stayed at his place. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog to explore and then take a snooze, with plenty of both sun and shade opportunities. We would be happy to book again with Oscar!”
“We had an absolutely great experience leaving our dog with Darcy and Dan for a full week. From the start, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, which immediately put us at ease. They sent us daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. Even with cold weather, they made the effort to play with her and keep her energy levels in check. When it got too cold outside, they were thoughtful and flexible, making adjustments to ensure she was still comfortable and getting the attention she needed. Their yard is a great size—good for a high-energy dog—and it was obvious they genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs they care for. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would absolutely trust them again in the future. We highly recommend Darcy and Dan to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitters!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Arling and his wife were amazing! I could tell my 13 year-old yorkie-pomeranian mix really enjoyed his week with them. I love that they only watch one dog at a time...perfect for my old pup. I definitely will use them again. Highly recommended!”
“Katie & Kristen and their family were amazing with my buddy, Pops! He felt so at home the second Katie opened the door for drop-off. I can't recommend them enough for taking care of your furry friend ❤️❤️”
“We left OREO for 4 days and we couldn't be more thankful to Mina for her services. She kept us informed by sending pics twice daily. Mina even took care of OREO's medication. Everything was more than what we expected. Will definitely recommend and use her services without any doubt.”
“Coddy & Byron were amazing with our anxious pup! They treated her like their own while we were gone. I never doubted for a second that she was in the best of hands. Highly recommend!”
“My dog always has a great time staying here. He gets plenty of playtime and exercise, is well cared for, and enjoys his boarding. Maria provides clear communication and pictures during the stay so we know he’s in good hands!”
“Catherine took good care of my female golden retriever who is 1 years 9 months old. She sent me pictures regularly during her stay. I would surely recommend her and I will use her the next time.”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“Reneé was great with Lily for a short overnight stay! She took lots of cute photos of her. She even squeezed in a quick walk before our pickup time. Lily will be back!”
“Ariana is a perfect dog sitter. Her residence is fenced in and her dog Yogi 🐾 🐕🦺 is so friendly. My Pfeifer had a blast and was worn out from all the play time. She slept all the way home and most of the remaining day. Will use Ariana again in a heartbeat.”
“Andrew and his partner were great! They arranged a meet and greet and asked good questions to help them best care for my pup while we were away. I got daily pictures and he looked comfortable/relaxed and happy in all of them!”
“Our puppy Eleanor had a great time with Kayden! It's clear that Kayden loves and understands dogs. Lastly, Kayden was also extremely helpful and understanding, as we were rather forgetful with some items.”
About: My 2 daughters and I are an animal-loving home. We have 2 playful cocker spaniel mixes, 3 dog-friendly cats, and 3 horses (at a barn). I work from home, so can provide constant companionship and supervision. My girls are also home for the summer and love playing with all animals. Our yard is over an acre with an invisible fence. I can provide a dog runner line, a long tie-out, or take your dog out on a leash. I can provide daily walks, including to our neighborhood pond if your dog likes the water. I am happy to accommodate any reasonable pet care requests, whatever they may be. I just ask that your dog be vaccinated and friendly with other dogs and kids.
“Beth was extremely responsive, flexible, and took great care of my pup. We had just moved to the area so we couldn’t do a meet and greet ahead of time but Beth called me before hand to make sure we were on the same page. Then when my flight was canceled she very graciously kept Miura longer. Miura had a great time and we will definitely book again!”

“Erin has been wonderful start to finish. I have a very anti social cat who we’ve struggled to find a reliable for. Erin having prior vet tech experience made her the perfect pairing to our difficult cat. She’s also been very communicative and reassuring during the process and will book again with her in the future.”
“Thank you, Fatima, for your daily drop-in care for our Gladys. Your daily notes and pictures of Gladys during your time with her was much appreciated. I will continue to request your service for Gladys for our upcoming travels.”
“Emma did an amazing job caring for Derf, providing him not only with the care and oral medication he needs, but also going above and beyond in showing him love and spending time with him. Derf is a senior cat that is missing a back leg and experiencing difficulties with his GI tract, so he is extra reliant on his human companions. Emma did a great job at sharing pictures of Derf each day and giving me peace of mind knowing that my kitty was in good hands while I was away! It would be a pleasure to work with Emma again.”
“Lauren took the time to carefully read through all the background info I gave her about my reactive dog in advance, and she did a great job of following all the instructions I'd given her about how to set him up for success when he's meeting a new person. She was mindful of his sensitivities and was a calm, competent, and friendly presence when meeting him. We'll definitely book her again!”
“Jamie did a great job taking care of my cats while we were away. He communicated well and kept me up to date with what was happening with my babies. He even won over our scaredy-cat pretty quickly. Thank you for talking great care of my babies.”
“My experience with Jessi was perfect! My shy cats actually came out from under the bed for her. She left super informative feedback and accommodated all my requests! She was super sweet and kind. I will definitely rebook with her soon!”
“Thank you so much! You did a fantastic job! I hope you have a great time with Polar and Minnie. I’ll be planning a trip in the future, and if that works for you, I’ll reach out again. I’d also love to learn more about your job and what services you provide for pets, including any job descriptions you might have. That would really help me understand your services better.”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her! She is super attentive to your fur babies & treats them as her own! She took my Leo on a walk & sent me the best check-in pictures! She did an 11/10 job & i truly suggest you book with her in the future! Thank you so much Alexis for being super kind, and helpful🫶”

“Maria was so great. Got many updates. Even a nice quick one after i left because Molly was a little timid to have me leave, she can be shy at first. I was sad to leave her on her first doggie daycare. But Marie made everything great, she shared multiple pictures that she warmed up and went on walkies and she seemed to have a great time. I hope to make this a weekly occasion! It was nice to be stress free at work.”
“Molly gave my doodle Skye TLC during a 7-hour doggy day care stint. She was flexible and great at communicating with me; Molly went above and beyond in ensuring both I and Skye were happy. My dog clearly felt very comfortable with Molly even though Molly was 9-mos-old Skye's first sitter. Highly recommended. I will be using Molly in the near future. Cathy S”
“Harriet had a great first visit at Monica’s! I really appreciated how Monica listened and asked questions to get to know Harriet. We are looking forward to the next time Harriet can go visit and play at her house!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, animal care has always been my passion. I’m comfortable and experienced with pets of all kinds! I also have experience caring for pets with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I’m fully available anytime, and will work around your schedule! I try to be home as much as possible when I have a pet in my care, the longest I would be away is 2-3 hours. I have lots of walking room outdoors, not fenced. However my balcony is completely pet safe, fully fenced and covered, safe for all animals. I also have plenty of toys for any pet!
“Catherine is AMAZING! She is so kind, considerate, and takes such great care of our dog Romeo. We had a last minute request for daycare and she accepted and went above and beyond. You can tell she truly loves your dog like her own. I will definitely be using Catherine again in the future and I highly recommend you book with her! I cannot say enough good things.”
“Allyssa is amazing! She really goes above and beyond making sure our dog is cared for and given all the love and attention she needs. Our senior dog has a lot of health issues, and Allyssa has been amazing at making sure she’s taken care of and comfortable (even during an unexpected power outage today!). Thank you so much!”
“Mina wonderful with my little Taco! It was his first time away from home, and Mina really put my mind at ease, sending me tons of photos and videos of Taco having a blast. He’s definitely coming back for more playdates and boarding.”
“Rachel was very communicative and accommodating for our trial stay before an extended boarding appointment. We can tell she is very knowledgeable and caring for pets and are glad our dog will have somewhere safe to stay! Rachel and her partner have done an excellent job training their own dog, so I know that our dog will not be exposed to any bad habits (and may hopefully learn a little from them and their pup)!”

“Jennifer was excellent with our foster girl. Our girl had some special requests/needs and Jennifer accommodated those! I got a lot of updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. I highly recommend jennifer for dog sitting and will definitely request her in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for years and genuinely love caring for animals. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy, attentive, and patient. I’m especially attentive to dogs’ comfort levels, routines, energy, and emotional needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just consistency and calm energy, I adapt to what helps them feel safe and cared for. I have experience with: • Daily walks and exercise • Senior dog patience and slower-paced care • Administering routines and medications if needed • Dogs with anxiety or overstimulation • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Providing frequent updates and communication I work from home frequently and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide focused attention and supervision. I treat pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own dog. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building pet care into my daily routine. I’m active, enjoy walks and outdoor time, and naturally structure my day around consistency and attentiveness. Because I have a dog of my own, caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, including walks, feeding routines, playtime, comfort, and making sure pets feel safe and settled. I’m home frequently and able to provide regular supervision, attention, potty breaks, and updates throughout the day. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and comfortable, so I try to maintain consistent routines and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, quiet, and relaxed environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I’m mindful of overstimulation and always make sure pets have space to rest and decompress if needed. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate preferences, and house rules. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away. Safety, attentiveness, and trust are extremely important to me, and I care for pets with the same level of responsibility and compassion I would want for my own dog.

“Hope is absolutely wonderful! She is very patient, kind and willing to work with my dogs on their behavior issues while walking (pulling, weaving, barking). I cannot thank her enough and would most definitely recommend her.”
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a child, and have helped care for all of my family's dogs, including walking, feeding, and dog sitting for them. My parents currently have a rescue dog, who is more skittish and requires additional consideration when I've cared for her. I've also dog sat for neighbors while in high school and college, as well as dog and cat sat for co-workers through the years. I also currently have two cats, one is a rescue and took a lot more time to feel comfortable in our home, and the other I've raised from the time he was a kitten. I will give your dogs the same care and concern I've given my own pets. I currently work in education and have summers off, so I have lots of availability, including morning, afternoon, and evening, for pet care. I live locally and can easily get to most neighborhoods nearby. I can come to your home, walk your dog, do a play drop in, and sit with your dog and/or cat indoors or outdoors, depending on what they like!
“Jamie was great with our anxious pup! Super professional and communicative through out the entire visit. She’s a reactive dog who is not great with men, but she seemed to warm up to him pretty quickly. We will definitely book Jamie in the future!”
“Jessi knows just what our Hiro needs. Our rescue dog can fearful of other dogs and be reactive. Jessi’s calm confident demeanor helps our dog remain calm and confident so he is able to walk our neighborhood. Jessi has a way with animals!!”
“My dog (and I!) LOVES Maura! She takes great care of him on their walks, is super communicative, and is always very responsible and punctual. I’m so glad we found her! She’ll be our go-to sitter!”
About: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my home and I just love animals! I used to volunteer at the humane society, and I was trained to work with cats and dogs, I have over 100 hours of volunteering at the Huron Valley Humane Society. I am new to Rover, but I’ve pet sat outside of this app before! I am currently working part-time, my schedule changes from day to day but for the most part I am available 7 days a week and can check in up to 3 times a day with your animal! I will prioritize each pets safety, comfort and routine every visit. I will also ensure that I follow all instructions required by owners and am also happy to communicate updates/photos so they feel confident in their pets wellbeing. Overall, I want the animal and the owner to feel as comfortable as possible when working with me!
About: I have been around dogs and pets since I was very young. We had a family dog I helped take care of and all three of my siblings have had either a dog or cat that I would pet sit. My roommate also currently owns a puppy that I help out with as well. I am currently a full time student at GVSU and I have a part time job but it is very flexible. I can always make scheduling work as long as we communicate! I do not board other dogs very often unless it is dire. But trust and safely will depend on where you live and what you and your pet are comfortable with.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid on a farm with cats, dogs, livestock, and whatever critters (invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians) I could hide in my room. I've worked for pet-sitting services in the past. Taking care of your fur babies is one of my main jobs and so I work my schedule around yours to make sure your pets have a sense of normalcy while you’re away. At my place, there's a mostly shaded grassy area in the backyard with a tie-out stake so pups can spend some time enjoying the wildlife sounds safely when they need a break from the indoors.
About: Hello! My name is Alexis and I am a GVSU Alumni. I was also on the track and field team so I love to run and be outside! I do well with all different types of breeds and would treat your pet as my own (I have a goldendoodle back at home named Bentley). When he comes up to visit me, we love to go on walks, go to the pet store and even the doggie Beach! I have recently just got a Mini Aussie puppy of my own named Asher and he will melt your heart! I would love to give my love and affection to your pet(s) and make sure to go above and beyond for them! They will definitely be spoiled and have lot of attention that they deserve! I would be so happy to have your to watch and walk! I work a hybrid schedule for work so I am able to work from home! I have a great schedule with my own as we go out multiple times a day and even go on 30 mins walks during my lunch time. I have a dog of my own who loves guests and plenty of space to play and go in walks outside! If needing their own space I have multiple rooms or if needed- crate to let them wind down.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born and have always had them in my life. I grew up with three dogs and would walk and house sit for friends and family! I’m currently a student so I have very weird hours to get a full time job and since I love animals very much this seemed like a perfect opportunity to walk and care for dogs while I’m not in class I have one 10 year old French bulldog in my apartment with me. Any break I have at school I go home and take him out for a walk, I revolve my schedule around my dog and would work my schedule around any dog
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for year and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have had dogs growing up ranging from large dogs to my current dog being a mini English bulldog who I adore so dearly. Over the years I’ve primarily done over night home sitting for days at a time and walking a consistent group of dogs. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a lot of availability and time off, especially on the weekends. I am always willing to find a time. I have a fenced area and a dog at home to keep company! If a dog needs to be crated, my dog is also crate trained so I know how to handle that. I am one to walk a dog and take the best care I can.
About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.

We particularly appreciated that Daisy had free rein in the home, and the back yard is fully fenced for playing with her new furry friends. Deaunna sent lots of pictures of her on the long walks and Daisy's tail was happily standing tall. Thank you to Deaunna and family.”
“Katie met my two German Shepherds for the first time when they boarded for a week. She was great and the dogs were happy and well cared for. I’d use her again in a heartbeat.”
