Personalized care for your dog or cat - Clare
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Clare
“Tux seemed very happy. I enjoyed getting a picture text of him daily. Edward was very nice and professional. He said the Tux slept right in bed with him at night and that he was allowed to sit and cuddle with him all day. Love that he was not caged up and got to spend time the same way he spends it at home.”
“Larisa is amazing! She boarded our 3 dogs in her home for a week. She is very professional and sweet. She is a real animal lover and it shows through her work. Our dogs had daily activities and walks. I know our dogs felt like they were home because of Larisas exceptional care and love for them. We will 100% be using Larisas services again. 10/10 would definitely recommend her!”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”
“You can’t go wrong with Jeanne. Very caring, attentive to details, great communication. Our dog has been with them many times - and will come back many times more.”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Amazing!!!!!! She is by far such an amazing person very gentle and kind with animals. She took care of my little girl Dede as if it was her own. I will definitely rebook with Erin. I drove from Saginaw to drop my Dede and would drive further if I had to Erin is amazing so is her family!”
“I highly recommend Sylvia. We received daily updates with lots of photos. She was very accommodating when we had a flight delay and offered to keep him another day. Scout came home happy as can be. Would definitely use her again.”
“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”
“The transaction was super smooth. Bethany was really nice and easy to work with. Her kennel set up and environment was really nice. My dog seems to have had a great time. No issues at all. I will definitely consider using the services again and recommending Bethany to other dog owners.”

Cat caregivers near you - Clare
About: I love love love cats in every aspect. My care taking including feeding, activity, nurturing, cat box duty - all done at a very high level. I refer to myself as a cat whisperer as I have lots of experience dealing with different cat personalities.
“Lily was terrific. She connected with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She stayed in touch with us so we knew how each visit went and we could ask and answer questions. Would definitely have Lily pet sit again.”
About: Cats have always felt like my other half. Since I was 5 I have been rescuing and caring for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and just recently rescued a little kitten that was trapped inside a car. I love making them feel comfortable and cared for because they always return that love ten times over! There's no better feeling than knowing that they feel safe around you, and that's something I will forever strive for.
“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and have helped with whelping, shots, to finding them new homes. I have trained dogs also! I will always treat them as my own and they will be well socialized. I am currently working full time at a family owned business. I am free from Friday-Sunday every weekend. I can take smaller dog with me to work (30#) or less. I have 30 wooded acres in the country. I have a large yard, not fenced but have a wireless collar system if I need to use it. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab neutered male, he is very playful and loves other dogs. I have 3 kids ages 10,7,2. Who I have taught to respect all animals and know the responsibility of taken care of them. I am willing to meet to pick up and drop off also.
“Did excellent going out of the way through out the day to check on the cats for a few hours! Kept up with communication and sent many pictures and videos that we really appreciated!”
“Brooke was wonderful and caring. She took great care of our cat for over two weeks. Brooke does seem to prefer to visit later in the evenings, which wasn’t a problem once I figured this out. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of quite a few cats and attuning to every cat’s specific needs! I’ve taken care of a cat that requires medicine with their meals, and I’ve taken care of cat’s where I’m just going over to give them some love and attention when their owner is away during the day. I enjoy taking care of cats and ensuring they are as happy as can be!
About: I grew up catsitting my neighbor's kitties, playing, feeding, and changing litter while friends were away. I have one cat of my own, and live with my parents who have 2 barn kitties. I am experienced caring for kittens and older cats as well as cats who are super shy. I will follow your cat's lead so they can be comfortable with me in their space. I know how different cat sitting can be to dog sitting, since cats take longer to warm up to new people and environments, I won't rush them :)
About: The reason that you should trust me with something as special and loved as your canine friend is because of how deeply I care about animals and their happiness. Not only do I love dogs I also love training them! I have successfully self trained a service dog and have also trained many of my friends and family’s dogs in standard obedience. I have taken care of dogs from 8weeks to 12 years and feel confident in my care for them. I have a passion for teaching which is probably why I love training so much! In line with my love for teaching, I work at an aftercare program! I love this job because it only requires my to be out of the house for a short 2 hours everyday at 3. This makes it easy to be able to spend as much time as possible with your furry friend! Although I am new to this app, I am not new to dog sitting. I have plenty of references and I am completely open to meet and greets with the dog or with my dogs if you are feeling uncertain!🥰 - Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I have very few commitments on a daily basis where I have to be out of the house or unavailable. I am highly flexible with a lot different types of schedules and routines, and I can guarantee that I will always make an effort to try and accommodate my schedule with what you and your fur baby need🥰 - Baths - Walks - Feeding - Potty training - Medicine administration - Car rides - Play time - Training - Cuddles - TAPLYO(treat every pet like your own) - Anything else you can think of message me so I can add to my list!!
About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved. I own a large dog you thinks he’s a lap dog. I pay attention to the attitude and behaviors for anything wrong.

About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.

“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”
About: I'm 26, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live alone and genuinely love having animals around. Whether your pet loves long walks at the park, playtime, or just relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an active day or just someone to keep them company, I'm able to be there for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I have experience cleaning homes and caring for the elderly, so I'm comfortable following routines, respecting personal space, and cleaning up any pet messes along the way. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Clare
“Brianna was amazing with Willow! She took the time to take pictures on her walks and it was lovely to see the different routes she took her on. I came home to a very happy and chill dog after her three 30-minute walks with Brianna. She was very communicative and accommodating with great attention to detail. I will definitely be requesting her dog care services again. ☺️”
About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

Every pet I sit for, I treat as my own and shower them with love and snuggles! I currently work part-time at Home Depot as a cashier and part-time at Olive Garden as a server.

“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals.

I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions).

I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!
