Amanda has watched our dog, Daisy, for us two times now. She has gone above and beyond to take such great care of her. Despite Daisy’s wild energy, Amanda exceeded our expectations in the care she gave for her. I feel comfortable leaving Daisy at Amanda’s anytime we need a dog sitter. 10/10, I highly recommend her!

Heather was an amazing sitter, very accommodating, and took extra care to get to know Noodles before the booking. Communication was prompt, and while I was on my trip, she sent the sweetest pictures/videos and updates. Overall, Noodles had a great time and received top-tier care. I would definitely recommend Heather when you need a sitter for your fur baby.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience caring for multiple pets in my home and around family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have experience caring for pets throughout my life, so I’m used to building feeding, cleaning, and check in times into my day. I’m able to take care of pets anytime on the days I put. I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and give them reliable care and attention every visit. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for both dogs and cats. I make sure all doors and windows are secure and that the space is free from anything unsafe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks for dogs, litter box care for cats, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep them safe and well cared for at all times.

Kendra was such a great sitter for our Watson! We dropped him off and picked him up at the pet salon in downtown East Jordan. In between, she texted us daily pictures and he seemed to make himself right at home with her family. We were able to travel without any anxiety about how he was doing. She was also nice about our late arrival time when our drive home took longer than expected. Thanks so much, Kendra!

I reached out to Megan as a last minute booking for our two pups. She was able to take them and was even flexible when car trouble made us very late. She sent photos and updates of them while she had them which helped me feel better. Bella and Strawberry, both under 25 lbs, made themselves at home with 100+lb doggies. Bella is still young and had lots of fun playing with the big doggies. She’s also escaped from our house a couple times. Megan’s yard is very secure. I highly recommend Megan to take care of your pups!!!

About: I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.

We had an amazing experience with Bob. Our puppy loved it from the first moment, as Bob's place feels so welcoming. Wooded trails right beyond the house with a walking access to the dog beach at lake Leelanau was great. Bob has sent pictures of dogs having fun at the beach. Overall freedom for the dogs to walk in and out to the fenced backyard, being welcomed on the couch was such a loving & carrying environment and perfect solution for our Golder Retriever, we will be there again and again when in Traverse City area!

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

I also am working part time so I always be available and accommodating for any special requests/needs. I am also a nurse and am familiar with giving medications and would feel comfortable doing so for your pup if needed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and take them for long walks. I live by several trails that I take my own pup to often. I own my own house and have a large backyard with a dog run. There are also several trails near by that I’d love to take your dog to!

About: In college I worked as a professional pet sitter that was over 20 years ago. Since then I have pet sat off and on over the years in my home and in clients home. I have experience walking lots of dogs at one time. I have experience with horses and cows as well. I also have 5 years of professional pet grooming experience too. I have had family pets my entire life. I currently work part time as a substitute teacher and with my boyfriend at his lawn care business. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to fit pet sitting/ dog boarding/ dog walking in when needed. I have a large yard and live on quite a bit of property. I also have trails behind my house for walking. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live off a quiet road. I will be putting a tie out for dogs that’s what I used in the past for my dogs .

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.

This is our first time using Rover. It was an outstanding experience. Our initial inquiry was answered quickly. My conversation with Christine allowed me to feel this was a good fit for our dog Rio. The communication was excellent and more than I expected. I received texts, photos and a video. Rio was living his best life today. He got to play with another dog, go for walks and a swim. He is sleeping now after a fun filled day. I highly recommend you book with Christine. I love to shop in Petoskey so I know will be back.

I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

Ashley was a great dog walker! She took our brood of three doodles out on a long walk while we were away for the day. Wrangling three dogs is not an easy task and she made it look effortless. She sent along some videos along the way so we knew all was well! Highly recommend her!!!!

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

About: Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, I have made a living out of taking care of them. It was my calling as a young child to become a Veterinarian. I started Pet Well Mobile Vet, the area's only mobile veterinary service, in 2021 to help bring a better level of quality to pet care after seeing how much more relaxed my friend's pets were when I took care of them in their homes. Building that bond through pet sitting is much the same thing. Pets get individualized care and you get peace of mind. As the mobile veterinarian, I can schedule my days as needed. I have the flexibility to do mid-day meals or walk, if needed. I'm almost always done working by 6pm to make sure everyone gets dinner on time and then some evening playtime. All pets will be cared for as if they are my own. I encourage pet parents to write up the normal routine for their baby so I can stick to it as much as possible. I love to send pictures and updates. (I would want them if the roles were reversed.) I also have the ability to care for medical issues that arise during the stay, only with the pet parent's permission of course.

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

About: In college I worked as a professional pet sitter that was over 20 years ago. Since then I have pet sat off and on over the years in my home and in clients home. I have experience walking lots of dogs at one time. I have experience with horses and cows as well. I also have 5 years of professional pet grooming experience too. I have had family pets my entire life. I currently work part time as a substitute teacher and with my boyfriend at his lawn care business. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to fit pet sitting/ dog boarding/ dog walking in when needed. I have a large yard and live on quite a bit of property. I also have trails behind my house for walking. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live off a quiet road. I will be putting a tie out for dogs that’s what I used in the past for my dogs .

About: I've used sitters through this site in Michigan for my little girl, Kiera Marie.-It was great! I've done lots of dog sitting and dog fostering too. Living in beautiful Northern Michigan, I can't think of a more beautiful area to dog walk! I'm available to take your dog for walks-let’s set up a schedule! I'm also happy to dog sit in either one of our homes. I am always willing to fit a furbaby into my schedule. I have experience with large and small breeds. I am also comfortable sitting for multiple dogs. I have worked with restricted diets and behavioural issues. I have a soft spot for all dogs and I look forward to talking with you soon! My husband and I both work part-time, so one of us can always be with the pups! We will adhere to any feeding schedule that your family is accustomed to. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy the great outdoors! We’ll enjoy many walks and cuddles!! If your pup enjoys it we have plenty of toys to play fetch with too. Your pup will be treated like family! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate just about any arrangement that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! :) Expect lots of walks, playing fetch, dog play dates (if they’re up for it) cuddles, photos for their parents, treats…They will be showered with love!

Amanda has watched our dog, Daisy, for us two times now. She has gone above and beyond to take such great care of her. Despite Daisy’s wild energy, Amanda exceeded our expectations in the care she gave for her. I feel comfortable leaving Daisy at Amanda’s anytime we need a dog sitter. 10/10, I highly recommend her!

Heather was an amazing sitter, very accommodating, and took extra care to get to know Noodles before the booking. Communication was prompt, and while I was on my trip, she sent the sweetest pictures/videos and updates. Overall, Noodles had a great time and received top-tier care. I would definitely recommend Heather when you need a sitter for your fur baby.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds. I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience caring for multiple pets in my home and around family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have experience caring for pets throughout my life, so I’m used to building feeding, cleaning, and check in times into my day. I’m able to take care of pets anytime on the days I put. I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and give them reliable care and attention every visit. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for both dogs and cats. I make sure all doors and windows are secure and that the space is free from anything unsafe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks for dogs, litter box care for cats, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep them safe and well cared for at all times.

Kendra was such a great sitter for our Watson! We dropped him off and picked him up at the pet salon in downtown East Jordan. In between, she texted us daily pictures and he seemed to make himself right at home with her family. We were able to travel without any anxiety about how he was doing. She was also nice about our late arrival time when our drive home took longer than expected. Thanks so much, Kendra!

I reached out to Megan as a last minute booking for our two pups. She was able to take them and was even flexible when car trouble made us very late. She sent photos and updates of them while she had them which helped me feel better. Bella and Strawberry, both under 25 lbs, made themselves at home with 100+lb doggies. Bella is still young and had lots of fun playing with the big doggies. She’s also escaped from our house a couple times. Megan’s yard is very secure. I highly recommend Megan to take care of your pups!!!

Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.

We had an amazing experience with Bob. Our puppy loved it from the first moment, as Bob's place feels so welcoming. Wooded trails right beyond the house with a walking access to the dog beach at lake Leelanau was great. Bob has sent pictures of dogs having fun at the beach. Overall freedom for the dogs to walk in and out to the fenced backyard, being welcomed on the couch was such a loving & carrying environment and perfect solution for our Golder Retriever, we will be there again and again when in Traverse City area!

Christine and Troy were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. They communicated clearly and consistently and it was obvious that they cared deeply about the comfort and safety of our dogs. They gave them heaps and love and attention and let them roam throughout their warm and welcoming home. They catered to the dogs' quirks and individual wants and needs. I would be thrilled to have Christine and Troy take care of our older dogs again.
