“Megan was great with Cassius. He stayed with her for four nights over Thanksgiving while we went out of town. She made him feel at home and went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable and learned his personality pretty quickly. Megan is very sweet and able to handle our 95lb toddler with patience. She was able to give him medicine, take him for a walk, and play lots of fetch in her fenced in backyard. Megan kept us updated daily and send photos and videos. I would happily board Cassius with her again and would vouch for her ability to befriend pups of all sizes.”
“Madison took excellent care of our dog. She provided daily updates and photos/videos which we really appreciated. She walked him a lot and took trips to the dog park!! Also, she was flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely use Madison again and appreciate the excellent care she provided.”
“Christina watched my two furry kids overnight. She loved on them during their stay and sent pictures of them. I would recommend Christina to others and not hesitate using her services again.”
“Our dog had the BEST time at Ashley's! He was there for a week and made new friends; both human and canine. He was well cared for and enjoyed himself immensely. Thank you Ashley.”
“Reyna and her family were great with our two dogs. They accommodated us last minute and made sure to give us updates and photos daily. Our dogs were so happy staying there and they were very well taken care of. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring, loving, and safe environment for their pets while out of town.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Kelsey was great with my dogs. I had a three year old and a three month old and she did amazing with them. She provided constant updates and photos. Definitely will use her services again!”
“Tabitha was great with Addie! She and her family made a gentle introduction to their other dog, and they had endless running and playing in their fenced yard! She also sent a bunch of photos and a video. We were grateful that our dog had such a fun filled day while we were away!”
“She went out of her way to help us this weekend on short notice. She did an amazing job with the dogs and the house. She gave us so much relief knowing the dogs were in such good hands! we are beyond thankful for her help”
About: I’ve always had dogs and love caring for animals. I lost my beloved dog and I miss her wildly. Spending time with dogs allows me to honor that bond and brings me genuine joy; I truly enjoy getting to know each animal unique personality. I treat every animal woth the same kindness, patience and love I gave to my own dog. I have a very flexible schedule and I can give pets the attention, supervision and companionship they deserve 24/7! I don’t work so I’m completely free to take care of your fur babies. We travel extensively in our motorhome, but we are based in Michigan. Our Michigan home has an acre of woods for the dog to enjoy. There are no roads nearby and it is very safe and quiet.
“Stephanie was friendly and my dog was at ease with her right away. She sent a lot of pictures and a video which was awesome. The trailer where she lives is a little rough. I don't think Toivo minded much. There's a lot of property for walks too.”
About: I welcome dogs of any breed into my home. I’ll treat your dog like it’s one of my own. They will also have dogs to play with while here! I’m available on weekends! Friday nights after 5:30pm until Sunday night around 9pm. In the summer I’ll be available week nights and if my schedule changes I will update everyone! (I do take dogs on some holidays! Message for details!) I have a no fenced yard, but I live in a rural area with little traffic down a lake road. My yard is over an acre and butts up to a field with only one neighbor who’s rarely home. My dogs have a blast running around outside! I also usually allow my dogs to roam the house while we are home and crate them while we leave.

“Tiffany was excellent! She was friendly, professional and great with communication. Tiffany even went above and beyond with house chores that weren't requested of her.

About: New to Rover, but not to pet care! I have a deep-rooted love for animals, sparked by my childhood on my families farm. Growing up surrounded by many animals, including dogs, taught me the importance of nurturing and understanding each pet’s unique personality. I enjoy discovering the funny quirks and individual traits that make each dog special. With hands-on experience caring for many dogs through various stages of life and health issues, I’ve developed skills in managing their unique needs and behaviors. I know that every pet requires a tailored approach, and my background equips me to provide the highest level of care. I’m also familiar with basic pet first aid and emergency procedures, allowing me to act quickly and effectively if necessary. My greatest strength is my patience and understanding, which help me build trust with each animal- ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable when in my care. Additionally, I know being away from your fur babies can be stressful and I’m very good at communicating by providing updates through pictures, videos, or text messages if that’s something you’d like! Typically, I work part time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to spend quality time with your pups! Whether it’s a fun and energizing walk, a cozy check in, or some extra playtime and cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making their time with me enjoyable, safe, and full of attention, because they deserve nothing less! When at your home, I care for your pet based on the information and preferences you share with me. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure to leave your pup happier than I found them! At my home, I have two friendly, lazy cats who can keep your dog company. I again follow the information and preferences you provided to keep your pet comfortable. My apartment has a green yard in the back, which is perfect for potty breaks and a bit of outdoor time. While it’s unfenced, I’ll keep your dog leashed at all times and keep a close eye on all outdoor activities. As long as they are trained, I’ll take your pup on daily neighborhood walks or even to the park if they’re a more active breed. Here, pets are treated like family, with full access to snuggles on the furniture if that’s something they’d enjoy. I also keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, or messages, so you’ll always know how they’re doing!

I have a small little 2 year old dog at home that has taught me the love and attention necessary to raise a happy dog and how to show them lots of love. I have had many dogs as I grew up as well so I know how to take care of a dog that I didn’t have a direct hand in training. I love all dogs and want them to non stop tail wag their way through life.

About: I have many years experience with cats, even wild bred cats. But due to having two cats myself, I am not taking any cats for boarding. Maybe interested in stopping by and feeding and cleaning litters I am currently working but my husband is home 100% of the time and kids are also here that love playing with animals, bathing them, and taking them for walks. We have a fenced in backyard where we have a dog ourselves that is a mixed breed dog that has been introduced to many other animals and has never been anything but excited to have a pail.
About: I have pet care experience of all kinds including breeding and stud service, shots and weening. We have a large open floor plan with a 4 stall garage to roam. Price will vary if dog is not fully potty trained or in heat during their stay. I am a stay at home entrepreneur allowing me to be present with pets while they are here. I am also a groomer! My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. That being said i will only accept crate trained dogs(for their safety) they need to be able to be crated safely while we are away for a short or longer amount of time. There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed by you that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡
“Reyna was wonderful! My 15 month old English Setter had a great day playing with the kids and a couple of other dogs. Reyna sent tons of photos throughout the day and was so easy to communicate with. Norman was clearly in good hands. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Maggie and I love when Celeste watches her! Celeste gives all of her attention to her clients and provides photos and updates throughout the day if needed. I will definitely be rebooking.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog parent with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find affordable, trustworthy help—especially when juggling a busy schedule. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter: to offer dependable, compassionate care for your pets when you need it most. My two pups (a spunky senior Jack Russell/Heeler mix and a mid-aged Husky/Heeler) keep me active and on my toes, and I frequently care for my sister-in-law's dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra TLC, including those on special diets, daily medications, or unique routines. Whether you need someone to drop in for a quick potty break or want your dog to feel at home while you're away, I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and love. I'm flexible! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during the days. I work about ~10-15 hours a week and don't have a set 9-5 type schedule. I can do my work whenever, wherever! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home. I treat my dogs like they are my BABIES - they get a ton of attention, pets, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. We do a lot of walks in our neighborhood and like to bring our pets on adventures.

We have a spacious house with comfy couches for your fur babies! Our yard isn’t fenced but we live very close to the park and love walks! We have a 3 year old dog that loves to play. Our little boy loves kisses from doggies and pets them very nicely. We allow dogs to roam freely in the house unless told otherwise.
“Stephanie was very kind and helpful in watching my pup while I attended a wedding. As advertised, she has a really great property and her pups are very sweet. Stephanie cares about them a lot and is clearly an animal lover. She was great in sending me some photos of their day and was very pleasant to talk with. Would recommend to others and would certainly return if ever needed in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from bouncy puppies who want to play nonstop to older pups who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, snuggles, and following detailed care routines. I also have experience giving oral medications, working with leash-pullers, and helping anxious dogs feel calm while their people are away. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I connect with them. I know being away from their person can be stressful, so I make sure every pup gets plenty of love, attention, and consistency. I’ll follow your instructions to the letter, and I'll send photo and text updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy tails, stress-free owners, and a wagging welcome home. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am able to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles can easily fit into my routine. Since I don't have pets of my own in the house, your pup gets a calm environment and one-on-one care. I have a fully fenced-in yard, so your dog can safely enjoy time outdoors. I also live close to the Big Rapids Dog Park and Riverwalk, which are great options for exercise and enrichment if your pup is comfortable around new environments. I have experience with dogs who are shy or uncomfortable around unfamiliar people or other pets, and I can easily adjust to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and stress-free, whether that means social outings or a calm, private space just for them. If needed, I have 2 crates, a dog ramp, and dog stairs if your pet needs help getting on the furniture or a safe place to stay if I have to leave. Just let me know if these items are needed!
About: I've had dogs my whole life, experiencing from before they could walk until they lost the ability to. I've cared for everything from chihuahuas to rottweilers, I'm not intimidated by big dogs and I'm careful where I step around little ones. I have experience in small farm animals (chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.) and am willing to care for almost anything. My confidence in my pet care is justified by my results and I'm always as flexible and understanding as possible. I'm a college student available almost every day. I only have classes a couple hours a week and am willing to work around any schedule. If there's ever an interference with a sitting request, your pets are always my #1 priority. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet's happiness as well as their safety. When it comes to walking, I'm willing to go as long as the dog needs. I've had pet dogs with stomach issues and a long list of allergies, so I'm used to special diets and specific care.

I have a beautiful golden doodle that I dedicate 95% of my time to! The love that I have for my own dog is tremendous but the new love that I discover with others animals is also the same type of feeling. This means that the care that I will give them will cater to their needs and the owners needs.

About: I grew up with labs my whole life so I’m very use to large dogs! The endless shedding doesn’t scare me away! I truly love all dog breeds though and I’m willing to open up to even the moody ones! I work full time 8:30-5:00 but I do have an hour lunch that I can make work for potty breaks and short walks! I can also stop by before and after work and I’m willing to stay during night weeknights too on occasion. I have an husband and two kids so I prefer to be home during week nights but with a notice in advance I can make it work. I am a bit OCD with my own pet care. My cat has an enclosure for his litter box with foam flooring for underneath the enclosure. I keep a broom, a shop vac and a swifter all just for his area. He has special prescription food and I keep his diet on a schedule. He gets lots of love daily and I plan provide the same care for your pets!
“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

I have had many dogs as I grew up as well so I know how to take care of a dog that I didn’t have a direct hand in training. I love all dogs and want them to non stop tail wag their way through life.
“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks. Safety and fulfilling needs is my number one priority when I have a pet in my care. I will ensure that walks or visits are safe for your pet and that its needs are being met.
About: I have had a dog since I was 3 years old. I have dog sat for a variety of people back in Montana and in Michigan. I'm super excited to meet new people and dogs! I also get along with other animals as well. Growing up I had pigs, chickens, horses, and a dog. I have dog sat for other families since I was 13 and have been dog walking since I was 10 just for neighbor dogs. I have dog sat a three month old puppy for 3 months while his mom went out of the country. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. If you need to know anything else just let me know I'm glad to answer any questions. I love me some doggy time 😊😊 I am currently working full time first shift but outside of that I can spend as much time as need with the pets. I can also extend my lunches to check on them during my lunch as well. I can ensure your dog will be safe while you are away and worry free. I like to send lots of pictures and updates of how they are doing!

“Megan was great with Cassius. He stayed with her for four nights over Thanksgiving while we went out of town. She made him feel at home and went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable and learned his personality pretty quickly. Megan is very sweet and able to handle our 95lb toddler with patience. She was able to give him medicine, take him for a walk, and play lots of fetch in her fenced in backyard. Megan kept us updated daily and send photos and videos. I would happily board Cassius with her again and would vouch for her ability to befriend pups of all sizes.”
“Christina watched my two furry kids overnight. She loved on them during their stay and sent pictures of them. I would recommend Christina to others and not hesitate using her services again.”
“Our dog had the BEST time at Ashley's! He was there for a week and made new friends; both human and canine. He was well cared for and enjoyed himself immensely. Thank you Ashley.”
“Reyna and her family were great with our two dogs. They accommodated us last minute and made sure to give us updates and photos daily. Our dogs were so happy staying there and they were very well taken care of. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring, loving, and safe environment for their pets while out of town.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Kelsey was great with my dogs. I had a three year old and a three month old and she did amazing with them. She provided constant updates and photos. Definitely will use her services again!”
“Tabitha was great with Addie! She and her family made a gentle introduction to their other dog, and they had endless running and playing in their fenced yard! She also sent a bunch of photos and a video. We were grateful that our dog had such a fun filled day while we were away!”
“She went out of her way to help us this weekend on short notice. She did an amazing job with the dogs and the house. She gave us so much relief knowing the dogs were in such good hands! we are beyond thankful for her help”
About: I’ve always had dogs and love caring for animals. I lost my beloved dog and I miss her wildly. Spending time with dogs allows me to honor that bond and brings me genuine joy; I truly enjoy getting to know each animal unique personality. I treat every animal woth the same kindness, patience and love I gave to my own dog. I have a very flexible schedule and I can give pets the attention, supervision and companionship they deserve 24/7! I don’t work so I’m completely free to take care of your fur babies. We travel extensively in our motorhome, but we are based in Michigan. Our Michigan home has an acre of woods for the dog to enjoy. There are no roads nearby and it is very safe and quiet.
“Stephanie was friendly and my dog was at ease with her right away. She sent a lot of pictures and a video which was awesome. The trailer where she lives is a little rough. I don't think Toivo minded much. There's a lot of property for walks too.”
About: I welcome dogs of any breed into my home. I’ll treat your dog like it’s one of my own. They will also have dogs to play with while here! I’m available on weekends! Friday nights after 5:30pm until Sunday night around 9pm. In the summer I’ll be available week nights and if my schedule changes I will update everyone! (I do take dogs on some holidays! Message for details!) I have a no fenced yard, but I live in a rural area with little traffic down a lake road. My yard is over an acre and butts up to a field with only one neighbor who’s rarely home. My dogs have a blast running around outside! I also usually allow my dogs to roam the house while we are home and crate them while we leave.
