“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!”
“Alisha was very communicative and sent many updates and pictures. From the pictures, it was clear our pup was comfortable and making herself right at home! We will be leaving our pup with Alisha again!”
“Kelly honestly couldn’t have been better with our Maya. Maya is 18 yrs old and has a few special considerations. Kelly made our little buddy feel right at home, sent us pics and updates on what she was doing, how she was settling in and Maya even made some little friends along the way. Do not hesitate to let Kelly host your dog. She was absolutely the best we could have asked for.”
“Ralph was very friendly and took very good care of our 1 year old Milo (large lab mix). We were new to Rover and Ralph was a great ambassador for the service. We plan to book a stay for Milo at Ralph's home with Rover again. Thank you Ralph for your services!!”
“Jessica was amazing both times she watched out 2 pups. She communicates well and keeps us posted on how they are doing! We will definitely be using her services again!”
“My dog LOVED staying here and playing with all the other dogs and kids. I highly recommend Erin and will definitely be using her in the future. She also was very good at responding and sending updates with videos and pictures.”
“Kathy is a wonderful dogsitter! It’s always stressful leaving your furry friends behind, but Kathy takes the time to put you and your dogs at ease. She understands the importance of allowing your dog to go at their own pace and acclimate to their environment during the initial meet and greet and each subsequent visit. She never pushes dogs for interactions they aren’t ready for, which is especially important in my case as one of my dogs is fearful and easily stressed. Kathy also has a dog of her own - the tiniest, sweetest thing. Even my very shy dog doesn’t mind her. Overall, I’d say every experience I’ve had with Kathy has been excellent. She’s good with both dogs and people, she’s caring and easy to talk to, and I find her to be trustworthy and dependable. I’m very grateful to have found her!”
“Andrew and his wife took such good care of our Corgis this week. They were very communicative, sending us pictures and updates daily. They have a very cute home and provided lots of extra toys for the dogs to play with. They took our pups for walks and even did a little photoshoot. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Patricia was amazing with my two dogs! She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs 3 times a day. I felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her, will definitely rebook when I go out of town again!”
“Awesome home to send your fur babies. Lynda and her family took great care of our 11 month old Lab for 4 days. We are so grateful to have found her on Rover and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sarah helped me out last minute with boarding my two dogs while I left town on an impromptu vacation. She was very kind, communicated timely, and gave me updates on how much fun my babies were having while I was gone. I don’t know what all she did, but the dogs I got back were so much more behaved! I will definitely be booking with Sarah again for training sessions!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”

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 also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household. 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.
“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.”
“Jennifer is a pet lover doggies and kittens. She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. She is trust worthy and went above and beyond staying to give our cats love and was flexible feeding our special needs cats and giving medication. We will definitely be hiring Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer!”
“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.”
“Amelia took wonderful care of my dog Bailey! I’ll definitely try to book time with Amelia again. She provided detailed updates and photos which were reassuring to receive. This is the first time I’ve had someone take care of my dog and Bailey enjoyed her time spent with Amelia.”
“Maryssa is fantastic with my dogs, Turbo and Daisy! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. She even checks on my horses while she’s there, which means a lot to me. It’s such a relief knowing all my animals are in great hands. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Laura was the best, and our kitties absolutely loved her - even the stand-offish one! It is obvious she loves animals - She was so in tune with their needs and even their personalities. Laura kept us up to date on every single thing, and answered questions right away. I would definitely recommend Laura, and we will use her again in the future if/when necessary.”
“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!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple cats ranging from all sizes and breeds. I have a huge heart for our furry friends. I currently have 4 cats as part of my family, so I understand the importance of taking care of your cat with love and compassion.
“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: The second I moved out of my parent’s house I chose to get a pet cat. For the past almost 4 years we have grown so close together. I’ve learned through friends and meeting other cats, that each cat has their own VERY distinct personality and boundaries. I love to learn about each cat I meet and figure how we best mesh while we are together.
“Michelle was wonderful! Very quick to respond to my booking request and, after we spoke on the phone, any concerns I may have had disappeared. I really appreciated the prompt response to messages, and the daily photo updates kept my mind at ease. The best part was Meko didn't seem stressed at all when I picked her up, like she usually does when i have boarded her at different kennels. Couldn't ask for a better experience, and Michelle will be my go to sitter going forward!”

“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!”

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.
“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

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.

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. 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.
About: I’m a special education teacher looking to earn extra money. I can help you on a busy day or while on vacation by taking great care of your fur baby. I have 3 cats and have been around animals my whole life. I can help with pets after 4pm, on weekends, and any time during school breaks. I’m close to most places in the tri-cities and have reliable transportation. I love going for walks with dogs, playing catch, snuggling cats, making sure they eat, and help them feel safe and happy while you are away. I’m great at communication and will keep you updated if you want reassurance things are going well while you are gone.
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 would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience and my genuine passion for caring for animals. 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. I have worked in both doggy daycare and boarding facilities, where I cared for groups of dogs every day. 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. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also provided pet care for friends, family, and members of my local community, caring for dogs in their own homes while their owners were away. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving pets companionship and love, I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and maintaining excellent communication with pet owners. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my weekly routine. I am a full-time student at Saginaw Valley State University and a member of the SVSU Dance Team, but I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to working around my classes and practices to meet the needs of my clients. I understand that pets rely on consistency, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight care whenever my schedule allows. I plan my time carefully so I can provide dependable, high-quality care and give every pet the attention they deserve. 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 understand that leaving your dog in someone else's care can be a big decision, which is why I take every step to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and comfortable. I create a calm and welcoming environment for your dog or cat, where they can feel at ease while you're away. Whether it’s keeping their routine consistent, providing plenty of mental and physical stimulation, or simply offering lots of love and attention, I’m committed to treating your pet like my own. I take safety seriously, with constant supervision, secure areas for play, and a vigilant eye to ensure no accidents happen. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll be fully attentive to your pet's needs and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always feel connected.

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 also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household.

I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve.

I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them whenever I can. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I accept cats and dogs that are able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. I feel like as someone with animals the safest place an animals can feel is when they’re in the comfort of their own homes.
“Alisa was great! We needed help in a pinch when my dad had surgery in Ohio. She worked around our schedules to meet our pup last minute! She responded quickly and was so sweet with our Hound!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from guinea pigs to elderly dogs. I am a graduate from the University of Michigan and am studying at Tufts for the next two years. I dog sat after school for a while and took care of puppies, elderly pets, and bunnies. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am busy on Wednesdays, but my weekends and others days of the week are much more flexible. Afternoons are always best but I can make things work! I cannot provide pet care in my home, but I can come to you! I have experience helping older dogs, active, large dogs, giving dogs and cats medication, trimming claws, and going on runs or walks.
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 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 have loved animals of all kinds 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 the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies around my work schedule. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“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!”
“Alisha was very communicative and sent many updates and pictures. From the pictures, it was clear our pup was comfortable and making herself right at home! We will be leaving our pup with Alisha again!”
“Kelly honestly couldn’t have been better with our Maya. Maya is 18 yrs old and has a few special considerations. Kelly made our little buddy feel right at home, sent us pics and updates on what she was doing, how she was settling in and Maya even made some little friends along the way. Do not hesitate to let Kelly host your dog. She was absolutely the best we could have asked for.”
“Ralph was very friendly and took very good care of our 1 year old Milo (large lab mix). We were new to Rover and Ralph was a great ambassador for the service. We plan to book a stay for Milo at Ralph's home with Rover again. Thank you Ralph for your services!!”

“Andrew and his wife took such good care of our Corgis this week. They were very communicative, sending us pictures and updates daily. They have a very cute home and provided lots of extra toys for the dogs to play with. They took our pups for walks and even did a little photoshoot. Highly recommend!”
“Patricia was amazing with my two dogs! She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs 3 times a day. I felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her, will definitely rebook when I go out of town again!”
“Awesome home to send your fur babies. Lynda and her family took great care of our 11 month old Lab for 4 days. We are so grateful to have found her on Rover and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sarah helped me out last minute with boarding my two dogs while I left town on an impromptu vacation. She was very kind, communicated timely, and gave me updates on how much fun my babies were having while I was gone. I don’t know what all she did, but the dogs I got back were so much more behaved! I will definitely be booking with Sarah again for training sessions!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”
“Our dog, Maggie, loves spending time with Marty. There is enough activity in the home and yard to keep Maggie fully occupied and entertained. We are very confident and satisfied with Marty's care.”
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.
