“What a blessing these ladies were! Our scared of everything little dog was wagging his tail in no time and we are so grateful. The house is a perfect set up with plenty of fenced in, outdoor space where the dogs can be dogs :) We will definitely be back!”
“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“Derek was great. Would definitely use his services again. If you’re feeling uneasy about having your dog cared for by someone else, I understand the feeling. But my dog had a great week at Derek’s house. I picked him back up in good health, with a full belly, and all of his energy spent.”
“Dan was amazing with our dog Mayfield, he was flexible and accommodating with our changing schedule. We asked him to bring our dog to the beach for wedding photos and he helped make our special day complete. Dan sent regular updates and lots of photos. We could tell Mayfield really loved being with Dan and would love to stay with him again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Montague, MI and love everything about it. I have four crazy dogs, four wonderful cats, two guinea pigs, and a 7 year old son. I have 10 years of animal experience, working at two Muskegon County animal shelters and as a vet assistant. I am licensed and insured through my personal business, Muskegon's Poopin Scoopin LLC. With my knowledge, experience, and above all passion; I guarantee the best service possible. I'm currently working part time during the week, so I have extra time to love on your furry friend! I do most of my pet sitting without my son but if you have a pet that loves children, my son would love to join. Your home is my home and I will take care of your home as so. In my home, your pet can have free access to outside with the doggy door. All cats are kept separate from the dogs. All dogs are fed separately. Detailed lists of your pets routine are helpful to ensure each pet is cared for to your expectations.
“Awesome experience. Melissa was very consistent with sending us updates and photos throughout the weekend that we booked her. You can tell she has a natural love for animals. Our dogs came home nice and tired so you know they had a great time. Would definitely recommend as we will rebook when needed in the future. 5 stars!”
“Vicki was friendly, kind, sent updates/pictures regularly and trustworthy. Our dog came home in a good mood and apparently had a wonderful time playing with their dog as well. Overall everything went well and we would book with her again.”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
“We learned about Rover though a relative and are very glad we did. We have used various other boarding services over the past few years for Sophie. They all have their particular strengths and weaknesses but the personal service provided through Rover is the best option right now. This is Sophie's second stay with Patty and we are very happy with her service. Sophie gets along and plays well with Patty's two dogs. This takes care of two things: Sophie gets a playmate and burns off some energy. Another advantage is that it is much more relaxing and less stressful for her to be in a home environment. Patty sends out photos and updates as well which not only show that Sophie is enjoying herself, but making herself right at home. So all around a good fit for us which we will be using again. Sophie is in good hands when she stays with Patty.”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“If you love your fur babies, then you definitely need to book Justice. She was super responsive, professional, friendly and communicative. On top of that - she's wonderful with animals! My husband and I were wanting a safe, at-home environment to board our Shiba Inu, Primrose. In the "meet and greet", Justice did a phenomenal job introducing our pup to her pack to ensure everyone got along. It was generous of her to spend her valuable time with a tour and detailed explanation of how she operates. Primrose was all too excited to come back after the initial introduction. I can't express how thankful we are to have found Justice. She took so much care to update and inform us on our pup's well-being during the 24 hour(+) period. The photos, texts and videos she sent were an added bonus! I was never left wondering if Primrose was in good hands. Because Justice loves her canine clients as if they were her own, I absolutely look forward to booking her again for future services.”
About: I live in north Muskegon and am home most of the day to spend time with your furry friends when you aren't able. I love them all like my own! I would love to provide your dog with the extra care they are craving, whether you need someone to pop in and check on them for a bit everyday, someone to take them on walks, or somewhere for them to stay overnight while you are away, I am more than happy to help! I have a very flexible schedule and several years experience taking care of dogs. No matter the weather I make sure to get our pup out for some exercise and can get yours out too. I cannot wait for the opportunity to get to know your dog. I am currently working part-time, three days a week so am able to fit in drop offs and pick ups and am around most of the time to hang with and take care of your pets. I have a huge heart for dogs and will love yours like my own while they are in my care. I am trustworthy and capable to handle any situation that may pop up.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a large part of my life. My parents neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and feed their pets ever since I was able to. I am available for dog walking in mornings and afternoons during the week, and boarding for weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule so just reach out and ask! At my home I have access to a dog park along with several walking trails nearby. There is also a nearby park and a lot of free and fenced in space for your pets!
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie and her family were fantastic and Pfeifer had a blast. Jamie kept me updated and shared photos of the fun Pfeifer was having. She kept her active and tuckered out as well as a welcome part of their family.”

About: I have grown up always having at least one cat in the house so I’m very comfortable caring for them. I have experience removing ticks, giving baths when needed, making sure they have enrichment, and administering medication both oral and injectable. I also recently adopted a 4 month old kitten :) I love being around cats and look forward to meeting your fur babies!
About: I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each cat’s unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with all temperaments — from confident, social cats to shy, anxious, or rescue kitties who need extra patience and gentle handling. • Routine‑focused care — I follow feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and household instructions exactly as provided. • Clear, consistent communication — I send detailed updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing. • Respectful and tidy — I keep your home clean, organized, and treat your space with the same care I give your pets. Special Skills • Administering oral medications • Understanding feline body language and stress signals • Supporting senior cats with mobility or comfort needs • Enrichment through play, stimulation, and calm companionship • Maintaining multi‑cat household dynamics respectfully and safely
About: I've had a cat in the household since I was around 10 years old and haven't gone back. From one stray we adopted to four wild siblings and everything in-between, I've always loved cats and have scooped their poop more times than I'd like to recall. They do come with their personalities and after raising a kitten by hand, I understand the distance some need as well as others that can't get enough of the cuddles or play time. Although medication is much trickier than dogs, I have also been the one to give out the medicine, trim claws and just about everything needed for their well being. I'm a cat mom and would love to take care of your feline :)
About: I have owned and taken care of animals my entire life, I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats including walking, bathing, feeding, and so much more! I also have experience in basic training for younger animals and I am also able to care for senior animals such as giving medication or treating them with the extra care they deserve! I'm currently a full time student at Northern Michigan University, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I prioritize your pets safety and will never leave them out of my sight or unattended. I will take upmost care and consideration when it comes to keeping your pets healthy, safe, and happy.
About: I was raised up a dog girl, but since starting to care for my friend’s feline babies, I have grown to love them. The subtle snuggles once they’re comfortable around you is priceless. I love to keep cats enriched with play times and endless rubs if they are okay with it as I know some cats just like your presence.
“Justice was wonderful for our 2 cats. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout her visits. She was courteous and followed all instructions. We appreciate the time u spent playing with our fur babies and keeping their belly happy! We’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been in environmental veterinary science In my high school years and have learned and taken care of a variety of animals from chicken, to goats. Ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, I love animals and teaching them new tricks as well! I do currently have a full time job, but I’m looking to get out of that area and focus more on doing what I love which is pet sitting! If I get enough regular clientele I would love to pursue this full time! I do have a fenced in back yard, I have two crates a big and little one! My house is pet friendly, we love all fur babies! I have a little fur baby as well to keep company with yours! She is super sweet and loves to cuddle next to any and everyone!
“Lindsey B. gave our beloved cat Buddy ?the very best care anyone could ask for. She made two drop-in visits a day and sent photos during every visit, each one of which showed Buddy to be totally happy and relaxed. So reassuring while we were far away ?! Lindsey is very clearly an animal lover, which we could see the minute she arrived. She was also willing to tend to a couple of household chores while here (plants, mail, etc.) without complaint. We will definitely contact Lindsey again in the future. Thanks for everything, Lindsey!”
About: I have been around dogs basically all my life. Most of my experience is with larger dogs including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherds. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs including giving medications and carrying large dogs up and down stairs. For about a year now, I have been helping my girlfriend take care of clients' pets in their homes. This has given me the opportunity to care for smaller dogs, as well as a puppy. We have watched a number of cats as well, and I grew up with two cats in the house, so I have experience with basic cat care too (feeding, cleaning litter, playing). As of right now, my schedule is very open. I am between jobs, seeking new employment, so I can take care of your pets any time of day, any day of the week, aside from potential interviews here and there. I would however be more than happy to make pet care a “full-time” effort, should there be enough interest. I will update this section as soon as my employment changes. Whether it be a walk or overnight pet care, making sure your pets are comfortable is of the utmost importance. I do my best to let them know that even in your absence, they are loved and cared for. This is demonstrated with lots of attention, pettings, and playtime, while of course still giving your pet the time and space needed to adjust to having me around. Also know that while in your home, I do my best to keep out of your privacy and respect your home, keeping it clean and keeping things in their place.
About: I have raised two puppies of my own. They are super good dogs. Ive also had a older dog before so I can give medicine and whatever is needed. I am not working at all currently so i can be with your babies all the time. I don’t have a busy schedule so I can take very good care of your animals. I will make sure your animal gets what is needed and watch them just like they are my own. They will be played with and let outside and fed! And tons of love

“I needed someone last minute to watch my pup. Mari Jane was quick to respond and extremely nice She was great with my little guy. When I picked him up he was exhausted so I know he had a blast! I am so grateful she was available. I will definitely use her in the future.”

“Vicki's Doggy day care was perfect! This was our first experience through Rover and we are super happy! Vicki sent updates and pictures, which our kids loved! She was super personable and kind! She even let my 2 younger kiddos play with her pups when we got back to pick up our dog! He didnt even want to come with us, he wanted to stay. Thank you so much!”
About: HI, my name is Lenore, - My love for animals began when I was very young... - A few years ago, my Sheltie, Spencer... at 10 wk old, was already highly intelligent, and so full of love. In 3 days time, was house trained, and enrolled in Puppy Pre-School at a local PETSMART. He was such a quick learner, sitting and staying in no time! - Years later, my youngest Son and I, owned registered AKC, Siberian Huskies, and raised and sold 4 litters of puppies. Such fun. - a few other animals I've cared for; dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, bearded dragons, fish, eels, a chinchilla, pet snakes....but said no to a tarantula! Just can't do that one!! - thank you ahead of time for your consideration, you will NOT regret putting your trust in me. - Calm, and easy going are my characteristics, as i have plenty of time, and a big heart, to devote to caring for your companion, friend and family member!! Also being a loving & giving person, my priority would be, to fully enjoy caring for your dog, or pet... fulfilling a desire in me to again have a dog in the house, to care for, to spend time with, talk to, & treat 'royally' (spoil) :)) enjoying every second of the blessing. I will take only one dog at a time unless you have two, who know each other, and get along. That way, I can & will devote lots of extra TLC for your best friend...and will definitely treat them as if they were my own, with utmost of value and importance, how they deserve!

“Michelle was wonderful! I could tell that Apollo was relaxed and well taken care of. She sent updates and responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her to any other pet parent!”
“Madison and Kyle were amazing! Our plans in the area had changed unexpectedly and we didn't know what we were going to do with our puppy. Even with such little notice, they were so understanding and hospitable to us and our puppy. He had so much fun with them and was pooped for the rest of the night. Highly recommend.”
“Daniel did a truly amazing job. We’re so thankful for his quick replies to our last minute request. He kept us updated and our boy had an amazing time from start to finish and slept hard that night.”
About: Emma is a certified master dog groomer, self-taught artist, self-published author, and dog sport enthusiast living in West Michigan. She shares her home with her crew of pets - dogs, goats, reptiles, and a cat. She has trained her own dogs in many sports including agility, rally, obedience, nosework, herding, dock diving, flyball, lure coursing, drag racing, barn hunt, trick dog, freestyle, conformation, and more. She has gone on to compete in several of these sports, earning advanced titles in agility, rally, and conformation. She loves variety whether in her chosen dog sport or chosen dog breed - she has owned a pug, a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, an English setter, an Icelandic sheepdog, Shetland sheepdogs, and English cocker spaniels.

More than anything else, she loves spending time with her dogs, hiking, exploring, and finding and creating beautiful things. I work from home so am able to dedicate quite a bit of time to caring for your pet! Dogs coming in for grooming and dogs here for boarding/daycare are kept separate to prevent any issues. My personal dogs are integrated as needed with the ability to separate them for reactive or potentially aggressive or fearful visitors. Dogs are confined in crates or kennel runs for safety when I am not home or am unable to watch and monitor them. My yard is fully fenced with no gaps or holes. Flight risk dogs will be leash walked. Otherwise dogs will be out in my house integrated with my own pack as appropriate!
About: My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love! I am working part-time from home and no longer have a pet in the home, so my schedule allows me to take time for pet care during the week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.

“This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.”
“Michael was fantastic with our dogs and really helped us out! We planned to take a sunset cruise and needed someone to watch the dogs for a couple hours. Michael met us at the dock and walked the dogs around the area while we cruised. We would definitely use him again if we visit Muskegon again.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and am not afraid to get my hands dirty if I have to! If you need a pet sitter who will run your hyper dog around the yard for hours to get them to go to sleep, I'm your girl:) I have experience mainly in shepherds and larger dogs since I have been watching them since I was about 14 and grew up with 3 shepherds and a lab. That said, I can handle all dog sizes and cats if you need me to! I had a Miniature Schnauzer for over 10 years as well so I'm comfortable around smaller and elderly pets if needed. Not to mention, I have experience in caring for other animals such as guinea pigs:) I also used to volunteer at the local humane society so any age of dog I can handle. I have a full time job throughout the week but I have plenty of time to do pet care! Especially on weekends & overnight stays. I will gladly try to work around my schedule to get all your pet needs:) I have been overnight pet-sitting for about 10 years and have fallen in love with it. I love spending as much time with the animals as possible so they can get used to me and know it's okay to put their trust in me. I treat any pet like it is my own so you have no need to worry about if they are getting enough attention or not!
“Miracle is exceptionally responsible and compassionate! We had a death in the family and unexpectedly needed help while being in a town where we didn't know anyone. Having Miracle help was truly a blessing! She showed up on time, kept us updated throughout her visit, and was so accommodating with all of my silly over-planning (grief means increased emotions and Miracle was so patient and kind with me!). Thank you so much, Miracle! Our whole family is so grateful for you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up caring for our Boxers, Pitbulls, Dash Hounds and Chihuahuas. We also had horses and at one point a bunny. I really enjoy walking and training all sorts of animals! I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of time early in the week to help with puppos.(All dogs are just big puppos at heart.) I am very flexible and mobile. I currently live somewhere where I can't have more animals, so pet care at my home is a no go, however I am more than happy to stick to any routines your pet may have in your own home and make sure they get plenty of attention.
About: I have several years of experience with dogs while growing up, I have two dogs of my own right now; Atticus and Kaya. I promise your animals will be taken cared of and loved on. My work schedule is a bit usual, I’ll have days off during the week and weekend, it’s different every week but I’ll keep my schedule updated. My babies go out every 1-2 hours, fed in the morning and evening with snacks and snuggles in between. I adore my dogs and I will love on yours.
About: My wife and I have always had a dog with us. We have tons of space for dog to run and play with friends! We have both dog sat for other friends and families and would love to continue that in our new home! :) I work only 10 minutes from our home and have the flexibility to be home as much as possible. My wife also works from home part time as well. We have plenty of space for dogs to run and play. However, we do not have a fenced in yard. Our dog is trained to stay in the yard with our supervision.
About: I have been taking care of friends’ and family’s dogs and cats since high school. Right now I only have one cat named Lily. I’m fostering two cats named Emi and Eva for my friends until the can find new home and they can take them back. I regularly watch a labradane named Ranger and two Shih Tzus name Scruffy and Twinkle. I work part time as a home renovator and substitute teacher with allows me to make my own schedule so I have very flexible hours. I have a completely enclosed yard with chain link fence. Dogs are allowed in all rooms of my house and on furniture. There are three cats in my house which are tolerant of dogs coming into the home. I work part time at my own hours during the day and fixed hours some evenings. Some weekends I may be away skiing for most of the day but could still make calls at night. I only have cats at home that are accustomed to dogs coming and going. I have a fenced in backyard on a quarter acre lot.
About: I've always had multiple dogs throughout my life big and small. Growing up we had a pack of dogs all different breeds. I was always the one to clean up after them, bath and walk. I had to put my Furry friend down in October due to health issues and now have a empty place in my heart. I would love to fill it by helping take care of your Furry friend. Whether it be bathing, walking, brushing, or just a quick potty break 🐶🐕 maybe your dog just has anxiety and wants someone to hang out with, im alright with that too 😁 Im available any day of the week and can do same day scheduling. The only hours that are blocked off are 8am to 830am, 12pm to 1230pm and 3pm to 4pm Monday thru Friday, just so I can get my kids to and from school I can't have pets at my home but I can take them to the dog park for awhile or the beach, take them for a bath, just a general car ride, maybe a pup cup and of course I can always watch them at your home 😊
About: I have been around dogs basically all my life. Most of my experience is with larger dogs including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherds. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs including giving medications and carrying large dogs up and down stairs. For about a year now, I have been helping my girlfriend take care of clients' pets in their homes. This has given me the opportunity to care for smaller dogs, as well as a puppy. We have watched a number of cats as well, and I grew up with two cats in the house, so I have experience with basic cat care too (feeding, cleaning litter, playing). As of right now, my schedule is very open. I am between jobs, seeking new employment, so I can take care of your pets any time of day, any day of the week, aside from potential interviews here and there. I would however be more than happy to make pet care a “full-time” effort, should there be enough interest. I will update this section as soon as my employment changes. Whether it be a walk or overnight pet care, making sure your pets are comfortable is of the utmost importance. I do my best to let them know that even in your absence, they are loved and cared for. This is demonstrated with lots of attention, pettings, and playtime, while of course still giving your pet the time and space needed to adjust to having me around. Also know that while in your home, I do my best to keep out of your privacy and respect your home, keeping it clean and keeping things in their place.
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I have had a horse, rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, etc. When I was growing up my parents bred Daschounds and I helped out with them. I love taking care of animals and having them around. I currently have 4 dogs that I am involved in their care. I have been heavily involved in healthcare for awhile and want to step away for a little bit and really work with animals. I am a very warm and friendly person and just love animals. I am open to new concept and am willing to learn if there is specials diets or needs for any animal. I will follow your instructions and give your pet the best possible care.
About: I have raised two puppies of my own. They are super good dogs. Ive also had a older dog before so I can give medicine and whatever is needed. I am not working at all currently so i can be with your babies all the time. I don’t have a busy schedule so I can take very good care of your animals. I will make sure your animal gets what is needed and watch them just like they are my own. They will be played with and let outside and fed! And tons of love

“What a blessing these ladies were! Our scared of everything little dog was wagging his tail in no time and we are so grateful. The house is a perfect set up with plenty of fenced in, outdoor space where the dogs can be dogs :) We will definitely be back!”
“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”
“Derek was great. Would definitely use his services again. If you’re feeling uneasy about having your dog cared for by someone else, I understand the feeling. But my dog had a great week at Derek’s house. I picked him back up in good health, with a full belly, and all of his energy spent.”
“Dan was amazing with our dog Mayfield, he was flexible and accommodating with our changing schedule. We asked him to bring our dog to the beach for wedding photos and he helped make our special day complete. Dan sent regular updates and lots of photos. We could tell Mayfield really loved being with Dan and would love to stay with him again.”
“Vicki was friendly, kind, sent updates/pictures regularly and trustworthy. Our dog came home in a good mood and apparently had a wonderful time playing with their dog as well. Overall everything went well and we would book with her again.”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
“We learned about Rover though a relative and are very glad we did. We have used various other boarding services over the past few years for Sophie. They all have their particular strengths and weaknesses but the personal service provided through Rover is the best option right now. This is Sophie's second stay with Patty and we are very happy with her service. Sophie gets along and plays well with Patty's two dogs. This takes care of two things: Sophie gets a playmate and burns off some energy. Another advantage is that it is much more relaxing and less stressful for her to be in a home environment. Patty sends out photos and updates as well which not only show that Sophie is enjoying herself, but making herself right at home. So all around a good fit for us which we will be using again. Sophie is in good hands when she stays with Patty.”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“If you love your fur babies, then you definitely need to book Justice. She was super responsive, professional, friendly and communicative. On top of that - she's wonderful with animals! My husband and I were wanting a safe, at-home environment to board our Shiba Inu, Primrose. In the "meet and greet", Justice did a phenomenal job introducing our pup to her pack to ensure everyone got along. It was generous of her to spend her valuable time with a tour and detailed explanation of how she operates. Primrose was all too excited to come back after the initial introduction. I can't express how thankful we are to have found Justice. She took so much care to update and inform us on our pup's well-being during the 24 hour(+) period. The photos, texts and videos she sent were an added bonus! I was never left wondering if Primrose was in good hands. Because Justice loves her canine clients as if they were her own, I absolutely look forward to booking her again for future services.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a large part of my life. My parents neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and feed their pets ever since I was able to. I am available for dog walking in mornings and afternoons during the week, and boarding for weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule so just reach out and ask! At my home I have access to a dog park along with several walking trails nearby. There is also a nearby park and a lot of free and fenced in space for your pets!
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie and her family were fantastic and Pfeifer had a blast. Jamie kept me updated and shared photos of the fun Pfeifer was having. She kept her active and tuckered out as well as a welcome part of their family.”
