“Oh my gosh, I couldn't list all the positives of Kelly and husband Eric. As a first timer, in my 45 years, they made this situation stress-free and allowed me to be able to focus on the reason why I needed a sitter in the 1st place. The love in my Queenie eyes through the picture updates show the bond and love Delevoped between them. Plus, I was nervous about leaving her at a crucial training period in her puppy stage, but Kelly's knowledge had Queenie's training still on track and her behavior was even better than before.”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated on how their days were going along with pictures and video. I would definitely book with her again and anyone reading this should as well.”
“Ralph was great with our dog summer, she seemed to be at ease with him and the other little dog that was there . If we were in need of a placement in bay city again would use him again”
“They were absolutely amazing working with my travel schedule and taking care of my dog! They sent me adorable pictures and even did a 4th of July photo shoot! They went above and beyond when i miscalculated how much food I needed to send and went to the store! 100% recommend and would use them again!”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
“Michelle did an excellent job watching my puppy Levi. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated every time I texted her. (Which was A LOT) I could definitely tell Levi enjoyed playing with the other dogs and her two girls. She also took time to bathe levi before coming home so he definitely was happy, clean and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone who needs an animal sitter.”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Joni was wonderful with Violet. It was the first time she had ever stayed anywhere besides Home and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. You can definitely tell that Joni‘s heart is in this and that she loves the pooches thank you Joni. I will definitely use her again.”
“Patty took such great care of our Max. I think she spoiled him as much or more than we do! He always looked happy in her daily updates. We loved getting our “Max Report” in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. I knew I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good, loving hands.”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Lynda and her husband Walter took great care of our two dogs. She made it a priority to send pictures and videos at least every day. The dogs came home tired so we know they thoroughly enjoyed their time. We would trust them again in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
“Kathy was kind and compassionate to our goldendoodle Bingo. She texted daily pictures and updates. Our first time leaving our dog and we're were nervous but she was great.we will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have loved cats and animals my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing loving, reliable care while making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Shannon took very good care of my cat while I was gone. She and Pharaoh bonded with him sitting in her lap during most visits. I really appreciated getting a photo everyday. Shannon paid close attention to all the items on my list to her. I will be happy to hire her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and previously had a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 16, from playful kittens to senior cats with special routines. I understand how unique each cat’s personality can be—some love constant attention, while others need quiet companionship. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or keeping their space tidy, I make sure every cat feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
“Logan was amazing he was great with Joel. Gave medicine with no problems. Joel warmed up to him. I would use him again and refer to others. Thank you for such a good job.”
“This was Olivia’s first time watching our cats and she was seriously outstanding. She really went above and beyond, overcoming some inconveniences to provide excellent care. I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had/ been around cats my entire life. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I will refresh their water, feed them, play ,and give them the love and attention that they deserve. Whether your cat is playful and energetic or shy and dependent, I will provide patient dependable care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and stress free. I will treat your cat like they are my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are in caring hands while you are away from them!
“Kaitlyn went above and beyond for our two cats. They’re indoor/outdoor cats and usually go out at 8pm and come home by 6am. She was up every morning before 6 to let them in! We also have a very timid cat and he took a real liking to her. She gave us lots of pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Will definitely be re-booking her in the future :)”
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
About: I've had cats since I was born. Currently I own two of my own cats since they were both kittens. I litter trained them and even bottle fed one of them. I've administered medications to them both, weaned them from wet to dry food, and I've learned how to trim their nails properly. I even bathe them on occasion when they get messy or stinky.
“Michelle took wonderful care of our cats while we were away on a cruise. She provided regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable. We truly couldn’t be happier with her service and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I love all animals, and creatures! My goal in life is to own an animal sanctuary one day, to house rescued animals. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a pre-teen, and it’s where my passion and empathy lie. I’m very calm, loving, and would be honored to give you relief in knowing your fur children are left in good care. I have two dogs of my own and a few hermit crabs, and I even feed the squirrels, bunnies, & birds that frequent our outside space. Reach out! I’m excited to help! I’m currently working part time, just under 6 hour shifts around 27 hours a week, and I’m really trying to find work that feeds my passion. I can do drop in’s, walk your dog, as long as they are good on a lead, and be spur of the moment most of the time if necessary. I’d prefer to do home drop in’s, but my dogs are very friendly and love to play. I have a fenced in yard, but at this point unless emergency, or further discussion I prefer to drop by your home!
“My dog Winston seemed to have a very enjoyable day. Alisha took great care of him which gave me one less thing to worry about. I will definitely have her babysit my best boy again!”
“Our dog Hank loved his stay at Sarah’s! He was able to spend a lot of the day playing outside with other dogs and was tuckered out when we picked him up (which was perfect). Sarah communicated with us throughout Hanks stay and leading up to it. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for dog care.”
“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. She did a great job with our dogs and sent us pictures periodically. Will definitely book again if we're in the area.”
“It has been so amazing to have Sabrina care for my puppy over the last several months. My girl always come home from daycare happy and exhausted !! I am moving out of state or I would use Sabrina forever !! Jenny and I are going to miss her and her family greatly !!”
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.
“She was amazing with my baby. He had other dogs to play with and did great with her. She kept me updated and sent me pictures while he was with her! 10/10 will be coming back!”
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.
“I left Archie with Marty for the day, he had a great time! I received excellent communication and felt comfortable leaving Archie. I will definately be contacting Marty for Archie again.”
About: I love to cuddle and give them attention. Catch and tug of war are two of my favorite games to play. Your pups will be highly looked after in my care I'm currently a stay at home mom! My toddler is in school on Tuesdays and Fridays which has opened up my schedule to be able to look after your babies! I do have a 9 month old who will be in the home so please think about if that would be a good fit for your furry friends (: I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups that will keep your dogs comfortable. We do have a big gate that separates the living room from the rest of the house so we can use that tool to our advantage in keeping everyone happy throughout the day! Because I'm home all day it will be so easy to watch over all the pups and make sure they get outside as often as needed.
“Heather and her dog Jasper was so very nice and understanding (potty accidents) from excitement and room to run with newfound friend. Kept a good eye Alphie who can be a sassy brat or over excited. She's a lovely person who cares for any new buddies for Jasper, her pup. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni. She was very accommodating for our rescue dog that has separation anxiety. Cruiser even got along very well with the other visiting dog. We will definitely use Joni again when we are back in the area. By the way, she makes FANTASTIC Amish friendship bread!!!! Thank you so much Joni.”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family!

I have over four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a variety of settings, giving me the skills and confidence to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, monitoring dog behavior, ensuring safe interactions, feeding, administering medications when needed, and providing individualized care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. In addition to my professional experience, I have volunteered as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. Working with shelter dogs has given me experience handling dogs that may be shy, fearful, or still learning to trust people.

Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, overnight companionship, or care while you’re away for several days, I strive to be as flexible and reliable as possible. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’m passionate about, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners.

I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.
About: We are a pet-friendly home with one cat, two older kids who love dogs and all animals, and myself who will take gentle care of your dog/s, as well as cats, and/or all other animals while you are away. No type of animal (unless aggressive) will likely be turned away. I have loved and cared for my own pet dogs, cats, birds, and other critters my entire life, and I know and understand that you are trusting me to care for a member of your family. We do not take this responsibility lightly. In addition to several years of pet care, I have also had experience and training with professional bathing and grooming of dogs and cats, and caring for special-needs animals, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats including those with arthritis and diabetes, administering medicine, and giving injections and subcutaneous fluids. Our home is relaxed and open, with "safe spaces" where we can keep your pet if they want or need their own room. We live in a friendly, calm neighborhood, great for dog-walking, and we love to go for walks and play! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule in order to accommodate your needs and I look forward to working with you and giving your special loved ones the care that they want, need, and deserve.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I have experience as a kennel worker and as an animal shelter aide. I have grew up with dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time researching dog nutrition and I’m very experienced in dog behavior. I have 3 dogs and 3 children. Me and my family would love to care for your pups! We love going to the dog park and going for walks. I have plenty of time to spend with dogs! I’m a stay at home mom. Me and my dogs love playing fetch and going to the dog park I have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been highly socialized since they were 8 and 12 weeks old. They’re very friendly and love to play with other dogs.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.
About: I’ve been house/pet sitting for large dogs such as mastiffs, pitties, and labradoodles. Also have cared for small animals such as ferrets, rabbits, chickens and small breeds of dogs! I have been working at a horse farm for 10 years where I am responsible for daily care and support! I am a safe and responsible sitter and Walker, following specific instructions as needed! I recently graduated college with a bachelors in biology and plans to attend veterinary school in the future. I’ve owned all sorts of animals my whole life from tortoises to ferrets to mastiffs and chickens. I grew up working at an equestrian barn for over 10 years. I am very permeable in my schedule, just message for more availability! I have a fenced in yard and listen very well to directions from owners as far as dog friendliness and travel instructions! I love being outdoors and am very active. I also don’t have a problem bringing in mail, taking out trash if house sitting is necessary.

“Oh my gosh, I couldn't list all the positives of Kelly and husband Eric. As a first timer, in my 45 years, they made this situation stress-free and allowed me to be able to focus on the reason why I needed a sitter in the 1st place. The love in my Queenie eyes through the picture updates show the bond and love Delevoped between them. Plus, I was nervous about leaving her at a crucial training period in her puppy stage, but Kelly's knowledge had Queenie's training still on track and her behavior was even better than before.”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated on how their days were going along with pictures and video. I would definitely book with her again and anyone reading this should as well.”
“Ralph was great with our dog summer, she seemed to be at ease with him and the other little dog that was there . If we were in need of a placement in bay city again would use him again”
“They were absolutely amazing working with my travel schedule and taking care of my dog! They sent me adorable pictures and even did a 4th of July photo shoot! They went above and beyond when i miscalculated how much food I needed to send and went to the store! 100% recommend and would use them again!”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
“Patty took such great care of our Max. I think she spoiled him as much or more than we do! He always looked happy in her daily updates. We loved getting our “Max Report” in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. I knew I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good, loving hands.”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Lynda and her husband Walter took great care of our two dogs. She made it a priority to send pictures and videos at least every day. The dogs came home tired so we know they thoroughly enjoyed their time. We would trust them again in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“I am so thankful for Jennifer! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Molly! Jennifer sent lots of photos and updates along with taking Molly on walks. Molly was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I knew Molly was well taken care of and loved! Jennifer and her family are so nice and took care of Molly as their own. This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”
