Her family is so warm and welcoming, and I love that she only takes one family at a time. I received pictures every night about my baby’s day. He was so happy and cared for that. I thought he might not want to come home with me. You will not be disappointed when you use Jess.”

“Chloe is fantastic. If you're on the fence about choosing a Rover, she definitely removes anxiety from the equation once you see her in action. She was on time, followed every instruction, and provided great enrichment with and attention to my dogs and cat. They took to her immediately with zero tension. She spent solid time making sure they went potty, and closely monitored their bathroom habits and water intake. Everything was locked up securely when she left. I loved the detailed report cards and would absolutely book her services again.”
About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
“Yvonne is such a caring sitter! Mavis is very cautious of people and she warmed up to Yvonne instantly ❤️ thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby while we were gone. 10/10 would chose Yvonne to watch my pet/s again.”
“Victoria is a wonderful sitter. My cats are comfortable with her. She keeps me updated and all the happenings and sends me pictures. I have already recommended her to my neighbors.”
About: I love working with animals! I work at a pet boarding facility so I am very experienced when it comes to handling and taking care of a variety of pets. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages. I currently have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I’m a huge animal lover and like to describe myself as an animal whisperer! I am an online graduate student, so I have lots of time on my hands to pet or house sit. I am available most weekdays and weekends and am willing to stay at the location of the the house if needed! I am great at following directions. Whatever instructions are given to help keep your pet safe I will make sure they are met! I bond with animals very easily so I will make sure your pet has a great time, even if they miss you!
“Finding the right sitter who can take care of our diabetic cat who needs insulin injections twice daily has been challenging. We are happy to say Hunter is a perfect fit for us. He made sure he understood our needs and sent photos during his visits. I highly recommend Hunter. We will definitely hire him again.”
About: My name is Ashley. I am a Mother of 2 teenage boys, the wife of a US Soldier, a USMC veteran, and a long time pet mom. I know how difficult it is to leave your pets with a sitter or boarding. It’s hard to tell who will be kind and good with them, while you are away. I have sit for friends and family. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, reptiles, sheep, goats and horses. I am comfortable with administering medications. I can come meet you and your pets ahead of time. I will send updates and photos throughout your time away. Cats have a special place in my heart, my first pet was a Burmese kitten. Since childhood there has never been a time when I didn’t have a cat. I hope you will allow me to help with your animals!
“Teryn was professional, polite, and overall amazing. She gave updates every 1-2 days and whenever I asked. Our cats did amazing in her home and loved being there for our vacation. Teryn even went out of her way to help our cats coexist with each other! We will definitely be rebooking whenever our cats need a place to stay.”
“Helpful, reliable, and professional! Normally my cat gets very stressed when I am away for a while - Jessica helped me out when something came up last minute and my cat is as happy as can be. Thank you so much!”

“Rachel is always amazing with our cats and is very patient and not overwhelming with our shy one. We have special circumstances that make us leery to have friends check on them but we are never worried with Rachel and will always come back to her!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”
About: I have owned animals all of my life and have struggled to find the best care for them when needed. I have experience and currently care for dogs, cats, birds, horses and chickens. I will care for your fur babies the way I would expect my own to be cared for. My expectations are very high and I would not provide anything less. My home is in a great neighborhood and I have a fully fenced backyard. My home is non-smoking and I do have a 13 and 16 year old who also love animals. My 2 older girls are out on their own finishing school and caring for their own animals. I commit to providing the best possible care for your animals because I know how important that is to me.
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 — from barn cats that need food, space, and a watchful eye, to a rescue house cat I raised and cared for until he passed when I was 17. I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family by checking in on their cats, feeding them, scooping litter, giving them attention (when they want it), and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I understand that every cat has their own personality, quirks, and boundaries — and I respect that. Whether it’s a shy indoor kitty or a rough-and-tumble barn cat, I’m here to give them the care they need.
“Sam did an amazing job caring for my 2 kittens. You can just tell she is an animal lover and will go above and beyond. Sam followed our care and feeding instructions to the letter and shared lots of photos and updates. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been trusted with pet care for friends and family many times over the last few years which have included daily walks, regular feeding, potty breaks, play time, and company! While I'm new to professional pet care, I am familiar with providing reliable care to furry friends. I am currently a full-time student taking online classes this summer, meaning I have plenty of time to hang out with pets! When in-person classes start again in the fall, I am local, so pet care still will not be a problem. I've cared for dogs for family and friends over the years and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, spending quality time with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. I've helped care for my grandpa's two dogs, regularly looked after my boyfriend's family dog, and cared for my aunt and uncle's dog while they traveled by handling the daily routine before and after work. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own.
“Jewel provided a sense of comfort when I was out of town knowing that my pet was in good hands with a dependable, kind, animal lover. I will use her again and 100% recommend others do too! Joe B.”
About: I was grew up on a farm and have spent most of my life with animals. I worked at a local vet clinic in high school, trained horses and I have worked in rescue. My family always had at least one dog for as long as I can remember. I got my first Border Collie, Dexter, when I was thirteen. Dex and I did everything together and he's the one who made me fall in love with Border Collies and all things dog related. I have been training, showing and breeding for nearly 23 years. The dogs I have now are involved in disc, agility, dock diving, obedience and herding. I enjoy all animals but dogs and horses will always have a special place in my heart because so much of my life has been spent with them. My hours are generally very flexible and I am available whenever best suits you and your pets needs. Most of free time is spent with my dogs or with clients. I'm not watching pets at my home right now because my oldest dog doesn't like strangers and I don't want to upset him if I don't have to. *Currently rewriting my profile please excuse the chaos*
About: I have cared for cats more than 14 years. I have experience with all facets of caring for young and old cats. Including grooming, giving medicine, trimming nails, and cleaning litter boxes.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elba
About: I have been training, showing, and caring for dogs for over 30 years. I have extensive experience in dog training and behavior modification. We have a small cozy kennel with doggie daycare located on our personal property Dog watching, training, and showing is my full time job. I have extensive experience with introducing dogs into packs for safe fun play. I work with owners teaching them how to train their dogs and will help with extra training as available. We have 10 individual kennels for dogs at night and a large indoor doggie daycare play area as well as a 6 ft fully fenced outdoor play area.
About: Both Matt and I have taken care of animals since we were young for friends &family. We have two frenchies both are two years old ( please keep in mind when they first meet a new dog they get very excited and can have a lot of energy and LOVE to play) We have also had experience with numerous breeds. Your fur baby will have lots of fun and love in our home. Having two frenchies, we know how high maintenance some dogs can be, that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best experience for you and your fur baby. During Monday-Friday I work 8-5. However, Matt does work from home so will be able to give your fur baby all the love and attention!( if Matt does have to step out it’s typically no longer than 2 hours but not often ) If you have any questions regarding our schedule, please feel free to reach out. If for some reason Matt does have to leave for more than a couple hours, we will block that day off as we do not believe in leaving fur babies alone for long periods. We are homebodies on the weekends as well. So someone will always be with your fur baby. We will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of walks and outside time. We live in a nice/quiet neighborhood. When the weather is nice, our frenchies love to sun bathe, play fetch, we also set up their splash pad, so we spend lots of time outside. We do allow dogs on our bed and furniture( if you allow it) we will not crate your dog unless we do have to step out ( which again is not often). During the night, we will not crate unless you prefer them in a crate. Please let us know if there is any special request and we can accommodate. We do ask for a meet n greet to make sure your dogs and our two frenchies get along. Your fur baby’s safety and comfortability will always be our priority as well as our babies. We know how it feels leaving your fur baby and you might get anxious so we will make sure to send a daily update. *Please note we are happy to accommodate large dogs, they MUST get along with little dogs. We do only accept one large dog at a time. Please be sure to look at our pics as we do have a short fence, if your dog is known for jumping we may have to utilize a leash*
“Trish was amazing! Last minute I needed someone to watch my two dogs and she was available and quick to respond! They both had so much fun playing outside and running with her dogs and came home happy and tired! Thank you so much for the great care to our fur babies! 💕”
“Silver was extremely professional and, I sincerely appreciate the level of care and concern that she gave to both myself and my fur baby. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable and, I have honestly never seen him smile as much as he did while in her care! I will definitely be using her in the near future!”
“Tristan is great with my dog and always patient when I’m a little late dropping off or picking up. (So being patient with me might be more of a challenge than being patient with my puppy). I highly recommend him for daycare or overnight. While I already had an obedience trainer before bringing my dog for daycare, I can tell that he’d be a really good trainer, too.”
“My puppy was well taken care of with Greta. She updated with me a few photos and a video. He was very content and relaxed when I picked him up. I will for sure be booking again in the future! Thanks again for being so good to him!”

“Glad I was able to use Rover during our travel. Diane was attentive to Bob making certain he ate and drank while he was in her care. Home was clean and well cared for. This is about the 4th time I have scheduled a sitter when I have had to travel to an event a distance from home. Will recommend Diane to family who live in her area and to other travelers”

“Louie had a great first day with Kerry! She is wonderful and her home is beautiful and pet-friendly. She understands Lou’s needs as a puppy and made time for lots of walks and play time to tire him out! She kept in very close communication with us and sent cute pictures of Louie all day. She is incredibly loving towards Louie and made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We trust her implicitly and appreciate how flexible she is with late pickup times. We will continue to use her as needed for daycare! Thank you so much Kerry!!!”

About: Hi I’m Jewel. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and now have 5 cats and 1 dog of my own. My family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed and watch their pets for many years and I hope you will do the same! I’m currently working part time at a greenhouse and working on my small business so I have lots of availability for visits with your pets! I have a 100ft dog run in my backyard and a fur baby to keep yours company. We also have baby gates to keep our cats food and litter away from any other animals. I can also easily crate animals if needed.
“Daisy is always flexible and so sweet. She is hilarious with her stories of their adventures on her Rover report. And the pictures she gets to go along with her stories are the best! She’s so good with Harley, especially since she’s a large Great Dane that can be a little reactive to her environment. But Daisy is so amazing and patient with her. They always have fun together!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, chinchillas, and hamsters. Including grooming, cleaning up after, administering medicine, feeding, etc. I have cared for animals from the moment they are born until old age. I have worked with animals with a wide range of personalities. I am a graduate student at Oakland University so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am currently doing Rover full-time and look forward to meeting your beloved pets. I will love and care for your animal as though it is my own. I will also respect all house rules and make sure your pet is fed, getting enough exercise, and update you regularly. I will stay and play with your pet it will never be a check in and leave.

Her family is so warm and welcoming, and I love that she only takes one family at a time. I received pictures every night about my baby’s day. He was so happy and cared for that. I thought he might not want to come home with me. You will not be disappointed when you use Jess.”

I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”

She was so so sweet to my boy!! I know he had a great time there because when I picked him up he was so happy and he was so exhausted from playing with her dogs. He's been passed out since we brought him home. We will definitely bring him there again. Thank you so much for everything we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries knowing he was happy and being taken good care of.”
