“Lauren and Chris are amazing sitters as always. They are my dogs favorite people to stay with, they make her feel so loved and comfortable when she stays with them!”
“Katie kept us up to date on how Pumpkin was doing. Dog was relaxed and happy upon her return home and in all the pictures sent. Communication was great. We have another booking later this summer.”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“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.”
“Walker is a bit needy, but Maria & Augustin met all of those needs and took great care of him! They were very communicative and kept me updated with everything over the 4 days they had him. Walker seemed to really like them, and he didn't want to come home at first. I'm very happy with how the stay went.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was very nervous to board my 2 year old pit, Stella, for the first time, but George made sure it was an awesome, stress-free experience. Stella’s a very anxious pup and has a hard time warming up to strangers, but she warmed up to George quickly and I felt very confident in my dogs’ safety, security, and wellbeing. We will absolutely be boarding with George again!”
“Oscar and his family were amazing hosts for our energetic pup. I really appreciated knowing the dogs were enjoying the shady, fenced-in backyard. The daily videos were a great way to check in and know he was having fun. Thanks again!!”
“-Very organized and professional -Flexible and accommodating -Firm and affectionate with the pup -Plenty of attention and stimulation, balanced with down time I hope to leave my pet here again.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Andrew. We rescued our dog two months ago and it was our first time boarding him so we were understandably nervous. The frequent photos and videos we received assured us that our boy was having a good time socializing with Andrew’s dog Dante.”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“Dia was great with our pup, from the time we connected for a meet and greet we felt comfortable. Dia provided great communication and photos throughout our dog's stay. We certainly will entrust her with our fur baby again!”
“Ginsberg had a great time while we were gone. Teresa made her a part of the family letting her warm up at her own pace. She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”
“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!”

“Amazing service! Kasie is professional, friendly and flexible. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty in her care. She always sent pictures and updates which I appreciated. I even had to switch the schedule a little bit throughout my trip, and she took it in stride.”
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.
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“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!!”
“As always, Ally did an amazing job caring for my cats! The detailed daily visit notes give me peace of mind while I'm away, and the adorable pictures of all my fur babies are a treat. 😊 I know when I leave my cats with Ally, they're in good hands.”
“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: 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!

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.

Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
About: Cats are far most the common pet I have knowledge of, I currently have three babies of my own. I have handled administrating medication, thoroughly cleaning designated cat rooms and nail trimming. I am respectful of shy and temperament kitties they do not scare me away, I show all cats love. :)
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.
“We have used Greyson’s drop-in visits and overnight stays for both our two cats and two dogs. Greyson always provides a detailed report and will ensure she meets your expectations.”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her. She definitely loves taking care of fur babies and it shows. I can’t even Thank her enough. Will definitely have her care for my babies again. Thank you so much Kasey❤️”

“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.”

“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.”
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.
About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
“Mina did an excellent job taking care of our 4 year old golden retriever, Jerry! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate a last second request, she took perfect care of Jerry, and sent lots of photos and videos. 5 star sitter!!”

“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!”
“Samantha was amazing! My husband and I took Maru to Michigan and needed someone to watch her while we attended an event. Maru spent two days with Samantha’s family, and we picked her up at nights. Our puppy is almost 6 months old and hadn’t been around many people or dogs, but Samantha and her family gave her outstanding care and great socialization. Maru came back to us happy and loved. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants their dog to be safe, happy, and well-socialized while they’re away.”
“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.”
“Emily has been nothing but perfect to Behr. She always sends great pictures. Responds in a timely manner. Great with dogs! I would definitely recommend her!! Great prices too. Always respectful and polite.”
“We are so grateful for Jeff and Erin! We had a family emergency and last minute they were able to take her for the day for us. She loves playing with the doggies :)”
“Rachel and Michael are fantastic. Ellie loves going to see them. She gets really excited when see realizes she gets to spend the day at her “second” home. We have complete confidence she will get outstanding care!”
“Jennifer and her visiting sister, Joni, took amazing care of our Corgi and Cockapoo for the day. Jennifer's home and yard are perfect for furrbabies. The girls had the best time and were completely exhausted when we picked them up. We would definitely book with Jennifer again.”

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
“I have had booked Stephanie a few times now & she is perfect with my dog every time. He loves her & always remembers her no matter how much time goes by in between visits. Stephanie is flexible with her time & is just overall so pleasant to work with. Thanks Stephanie, once again! Ranger thanks you too for always spoiling him 🐾”

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. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.

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.
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!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have a 9 month old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.

“Katie kept us up to date on how Pumpkin was doing. Dog was relaxed and happy upon her return home and in all the pictures sent. Communication was great. We have another booking later this summer.”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“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.”
“Walker is a bit needy, but Maria & Augustin met all of those needs and took great care of him! They were very communicative and kept me updated with everything over the 4 days they had him. Walker seemed to really like them, and he didn't want to come home at first. I'm very happy with how the stay went.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was very nervous to board my 2 year old pit, Stella, for the first time, but George made sure it was an awesome, stress-free experience. Stella’s a very anxious pup and has a hard time warming up to strangers, but she warmed up to George quickly and I felt very confident in my dogs’ safety, security, and wellbeing. We will absolutely be boarding with George again!”
“Oscar and his family were amazing hosts for our energetic pup. I really appreciated knowing the dogs were enjoying the shady, fenced-in backyard. The daily videos were a great way to check in and know he was having fun. Thanks again!!”
“-Very organized and professional -Flexible and accommodating -Firm and affectionate with the pup -Plenty of attention and stimulation, balanced with down time I hope to leave my pet here again.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Andrew. We rescued our dog two months ago and it was our first time boarding him so we were understandably nervous. The frequent photos and videos we received assured us that our boy was having a good time socializing with Andrew’s dog Dante.”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you 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!”
“Paula is great. She provides a clean house, has expertise to keep order over the dogs, and has a great fenced yard. This was my first occasion boarding my beloved Bo, and was glad to be able to leave him in a place where he would get to hang with other good-natured dogs and have a yard to play for a change. Paula attended to our needs and my concerns. I wish she were closer for general "play dates", but if you are going to/from DTW, it's a very easy drop off and pick up.”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Laura & Manuel were great! We were out of the country for 10 days and they were sure to send pictures every few days to let us know our Moose was settled in and going great at his "vacation family" home. They had us do a meet and greet prior to his stay and ensured he would be a good fit in their home. If we ever need somewhere to send Moose for a night away or another vacation, they will be our number one pick!”
