“Mina did a fantastic job with Beau. His 4 night stay went very well and he had plenty of dog-friends to keep him company. Beau enjoyed the fenced back yard and walks. Mina does a great job of keeping us updated and sending pictures. Highly recommend!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Wow! Lovely family, took excellent care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. Communicated promptly. We had an issue with a delayed flight and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Could not have asked for a better experience. So thankful for this family, we know Max enjoyed his time and was well cared for. Would definitely use Yvonne to care for our pet again in the future.”
“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”
“Andrew was great! It was my first time leaving the doggy with a stranger, but he set up a meet and greet and kept me updated so that I barely worried my whole trip. He even convinced Dr. Pepper to take his meds, which is no small feet. If I ever need to travel again, I can say with confidence that Pepper will enjoy his vacation with Andrew too.”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“We were so pleased with Jen and her husbands care and affection for our dogs! They loved on our 2 mastiffs for 5 days while we were out of town. She kept in touch with pictures and updates and gave my husband peace of mind knowing the dogs were never alone. We would most definitely book again with them. We appreciate you both so much! The drive to you was so worth it?”
“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Rachel and her partner are both so wonderful. I don't know what I would without these two. This past time I even had to coax Dodger into the car...that's how much he loves it there.”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“Andria and her family were so accommodating and helpful with our senior dog. He came back to us well cared for and calm...which means he was rested and taken care of. She also sent pictures of him while he was at her house. I would highly recommended Andria to anyone!”

“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“Ginsberg loves her time with Teresa’s. She enjoys spending time in the large backyard with her friends and relaxing in the house when it gets too hot outside. Teresa is our first choice sitter whenever we are out of town.”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”
“I can't say enough how well Katey took care of my Daisy. Daisy tends to get worked up when she's in unfamiliar surroundings but it didn't take long for her to settle down with Katey. Katey sent daily photos and videos and I could see how Daisy had calmed down and made herself at home not long after she was dropped off. I highly recommend Katey.”

About: Every few months a cat shows up on my doorstep and I can’t have a cat of my own with my dog so I’d love to take care of your baby while you’re away! I’ve been the go to cat sitter for my friends all through college. I have lots of experience getting even the shyest cats to come out and play. I’ve looked after both kittens and older cats and have administered medicine as well.
“Kasie took wonderful care of our cat Charlie over three visits. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in good hands. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Kacie was really great and did exactly what we had asked. This was our first time using her to help us when both my husband and I weren’t home one evening. Our kitty has epilepsy and receives oral medication twice a day. We both weren’t going to be home last Friday evening so we coordinated with Kacie, met her a few weeks prior for a meet and greet, and then discussed all directions on how to give our kittys medicine. She was wonderful and followed all my (detailed ?) instructions and then let me know everything went smoothly. It is wonderful to have some reliable to help us because I worry so much about our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again, soon!”
“Greyson already knew my one cat Ozzy and he was automatically comfortable knowing they were back. My other cat Sweetie hadn't met them before so Greyson was kind enough to come over for a meet and greet before the stay. She mostly hid, only coming out for one far away glance. Despite Sweeties initial trepidation it was so sweet to watch the progress through Greysons notes and pictures of Sweetie getting comfortable with them to the point of being willing to bug them for breakfast.”
“Ashley was great. She came by a few times while I was on an extended vacation. When I got home everything was as though I had never left. My cat was still had food, water, and the litter was clean. Ashley, was very easy to work with and book. She sent photos and updates with each visit. I look forward to working with Ashley again and I can recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Cindy has been looking after our 17 year old cat regularly for the last couple of years and we are so happy with her care. She is trustworthy and goes above and beyond in every way. Thank you Cindy!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs as a kennel attendant at dog daycares/boarding facility for a total of 4 years. Alongside of that I have spent multiple years dog sitting, from a King Charles Caviler Spaniel to a Cane Corso. I own 3 cats, 2 tabby cats and a tuxedo, and I have a corgi named Daphne! In the past I’ve owned various rodents. Animals are something I’ve loved all my life. I’m currently not working anywhere so my availability is pretty much completely free any day of the week! I’d love to spend my days with your fur baby. Due to my dog at home being reactive with other dogs, I only offer services in my clients home and walks outside! I will play with your furry friends, feed them, let them outside, sit with them, walk them, or whatever other thing they may need!
“Claire was amazing. My cat was very happy well fed and taken care of. She always kept me updated with plenty of pictures. I was perfectly happy with her service. Great job. I tipped her in cash. Would use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to two spoiled boys, Finny and Banjo. As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I love taking the time to earn their trust while keeping them comfortable in their own home. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or just wants someone to keep their routine consistent, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, their litter box stays clean, and they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I know leaving your cat can be stressful, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”
“They were very well cared for. Updates were provided twice a day, they offered more if we needed it. All questions I had up to and during the process were answered quickly. Our very anxious cats came home and immediately began being themselves and acting right as rain.”
“Bobbie was great! I was nervous about having a stranger at my house and with my pet, but I spent some time getting to know her and felt much better! She's very kind and warm while also being professional. Super helpful and flexible. I will definitely be making Bobbie my go-to sitter.”
“Missi did an excellent job in what turned out to be a difficult situation. One cat needs insulin twice and day and the other escaped the house and hid in the barn. Missi searched for him and ended up putting food outside for him. All ended fine. The escapee was found, both are healthy and in good condition. Thanks, Missi.”
About: I grew up with cats in the house, so I understand their independent nature and know that good cat care means paying attention to the little things — favorite hiding spots, feeding schedules, litter box habits, and how much (or how little) attention they want that day. Whether your cat is affectionate and loves company or more reserved and prefers to observe from a distance, I respect their pace and let them come to me on their terms. I'm attentive to routine, comfortable with feeding and litter duties, and happy to give medication if needed. Your cat's comfort and safety are always my priority. I'd love to look after your furry friend and give them the calm, familiar care they're used to at home!

“Shanta was very loving and caring towards my puppy. She took wonderful care of her and kept me informed- even sending me pictures and videos during the day. She is very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had about general puppy care. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”
About: I’m all about animals and have a genuine love for them. I would love to spend time and care for them! I have two dogs of my own, I had two cats but they both recently passed three months apart, 15 and 17 years old..❤️ I am happy they lived a long good life though :) I’ve been around animals my whole life and they are my everything. One day I hope to have my own dog/cat farm :) I will actually take the time to sit down and cuddle with pets, not just give them a bone and leave them outside etc. I’ll take the time to play with them and make sure they well taken care of along with being attentive to them! I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available before and after work, as well as weekends, and I’m flexible when needed. I don’t just stop in and leave—I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, and interaction so pets feel cared for, not just checked on. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. Beyond that, I make sure pets feel safe emotionally too—offering affection, reassurance, and attention so they’re not just alone waiting for their owner to return. I always keep a close eye on pets and avoid any unsafe situations.

About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.

“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”

We have a little yard but can offer unlimited potty breaks, clean environment, an area for naps and bedtime. Lots of love from my children to keep them entertained!
“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.”

About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep.

“Jay does an amazing job with Annie and sensitive to her needs. I highly recommend Jay to anyone who is in need of a dog walker especially if it's an emergent last minute situation. Thank you Jay you were a major help with Annie.”
About: Located in MONROE Hi, I grew up in a home that did dog boarding, I've literally been around this my whole life. I Foster rescue dogs. I can potty train, teach tricks, work on leash skills and door manners. I have toys treats and a big yard. My house is near the lake and we take them for walks multiple times a day. My neighbors are dog trainers or fellow pet lovers. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. I have an adopted Pitbull who is literally the friendliest dog in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog around our home might not be ideal. Just being honest. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing to make sure we are on the same page and to make sure all parties involved get along as well. We only offer dog walks and drop ins locally as it's to costly to do that outside of the immediate area. If outside of the Monroe are please advise. My husband and I are both not working. We have all the free time to spend with your pet that you could want. We could do holidays weekends overnights. If there is something you'd like me to work on with your pup let me know! I have a large fenced in back yard in a dog friendly beach community. We take our dog on morning and evening walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. We have treats toys and space to relax. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

In the past I’ve owned various rodents. Animals are something I’ve loved all my life. I’m currently not working anywhere so my availability is pretty much completely free any day of the week! I’d love to spend my days with your fur baby. Due to my dog at home being reactive with other dogs, I only offer services in my clients home and walks outside! I will play with your furry friends, feed them, let them outside, sit with them, walk them, or whatever other thing they may need!
About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and at just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I do have a fenced in yard, with no dogs in the neighboring yards. With having the community center close, walks are a lot of fun and they love all the new smells!
About: I've had dogs my entire life, I'm retired now and have time to spend with your pet so you won't have to worry while you are gone. I have a 6 yes old boxer currently, I'm retired and could spend time with other dogs in the afternoon or evening,week days and weekends. Unfortunately our boxer is spoiled, she loves to run with kids. Her favorite toys are plush squeaky ones, she has several of them scattered throughout the house
About: I’ve had a pet my whole entire life from cats, dogs and more. My neighborhood is friendly and open for walks and fields for playing. I cherish animal love so much because they’re so innocent and cute. I love cuddling with them and running around in the backyard for fun. My siblings would love to have animals in my house everyday. Dogs are my absolute favorite and cats are just adorable !!♥️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with my 9 month old and my 2 siblings (7 & 10), who also LOVE animals (yes even the 9 month old..esp dogs). We can travel anywhere & they’ll be my little helpers throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard, leash’s, 2 amazing helpers who love animals just as much as i do! I’ve also taken care of animals all my life.
About: I’m all about animals and have a genuine love for them. I would love to spend time and care for them! I have two dogs of my own, I had two cats but they both recently passed three months apart, 15 and 17 years old..❤️ I am happy they lived a long good life though :) I’ve been around animals my whole life and they are my everything. One day I hope to have my own dog/cat farm :) I will actually take the time to sit down and cuddle with pets, not just give them a bone and leave them outside etc. I’ll take the time to play with them and make sure they well taken care of along with being attentive to them! I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available before and after work, as well as weekends, and I’m flexible when needed. I don’t just stop in and leave—I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, and interaction so pets feel cared for, not just checked on. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. Beyond that, I make sure pets feel safe emotionally too—offering affection, reassurance, and attention so they’re not just alone waiting for their owner to return. I always keep a close eye on pets and avoid any unsafe situations.
About: I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.

“Mina did a fantastic job with Beau. His 4 night stay went very well and he had plenty of dog-friends to keep him company. Beau enjoyed the fenced back yard and walks. Mina does a great job of keeping us updated and sending pictures. Highly recommend!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Wow! Lovely family, took excellent care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. Communicated promptly. We had an issue with a delayed flight and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Could not have asked for a better experience. So thankful for this family, we know Max enjoyed his time and was well cared for. Would definitely use Yvonne to care for our pet again in the future.”
“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”
“Andrew was great! It was my first time leaving the doggy with a stranger, but he set up a meet and greet and kept me updated so that I barely worried my whole trip. He even convinced Dr. Pepper to take his meds, which is no small feet. If I ever need to travel again, I can say with confidence that Pepper will enjoy his vacation with Andrew too.”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“We were so pleased with Jen and her husbands care and affection for our dogs! They loved on our 2 mastiffs for 5 days while we were out of town. She kept in touch with pictures and updates and gave my husband peace of mind knowing the dogs were never alone. We would most definitely book again with them. We appreciate you both so much! The drive to you was so worth it?”
“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Rachel and her partner are both so wonderful. I don't know what I would without these two. This past time I even had to coax Dodger into the car...that's how much he loves it there.”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“Andria and her family were so accommodating and helpful with our senior dog. He came back to us well cared for and calm...which means he was rested and taken care of. She also sent pictures of him while he was at her house. I would highly recommended Andria to anyone!”
About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“I can't say enough how well Katey took care of my Daisy. Daisy tends to get worked up when she's in unfamiliar surroundings but it didn't take long for her to settle down with Katey. Katey sent daily photos and videos and I could see how Daisy had calmed down and made herself at home not long after she was dropped off. I highly recommend Katey.”
“Laura and Manuel were friendly, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog. They sent some photo updates too. We would love to work with them again!”
“Great experience! Katie was sending us photos and updates of our furr baby daily! She treated our dog-Lesha like one of her family. Absolutely recommend and will definitely rebook if we need to!”
“Oscar was great with our two dogs. He sent several photos every day and provided updates on their activities and behaviors. We look forward to leaving our pets with him again soon.”
