“We could not have picked a better stay for our first overnights away from our sweet pup, Billie! Rachel and Ivan were extremely communicative and made sure to keep us up to date with the daily activities! Not only did Billie love her time with Rachel and Ivan but also got along great with their resident dog. We received lots of pictures and videos that helped us feel certain that she was having a great time while we were away. Billie has quite a bit of energy and they were able to play fetch and take her for walks to help keep her active. We are so thankful for their care and would recommend and will book again!”

“Cheyenne was amazing. She sent us updates and pictures of our sweet baby and was also very accommodating. It was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be using her from here on out. <3”

“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”

“Angela has a great fenced in back yard, perfect for my Chuli to run around and play in. She sent photo updates regularly, and her pup was a great playmate for mine. It was only the second time Chuli had stayed away, but she came back home happy and healthy.”

“Lisa is the bees knees!!! She was so communicative and accommodating. I was nervous but in a pinch and needed to put my trust in someone to watch a very special member of my family. She exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. She was personable and friendly to me too. What an absolute pleasure. Thank you Lisa!!!!!”

“Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.”


About: I had to put down my 10 year old lab this winter. I miss having dog, but thought this would be a great way to spoil your dog and have a dog in the house again. I'm not ready for another pet just yet. I will be in charge, as I work from home. Promise lots of walks, private beach if your dog enjoys that and lots of attention. No puppies (can discuss if housebroken) and can provide for senior dogs if needs are reasonable. Thank you! I primarily work from home so your dog will never be left alone for long. I am writer, so I sit at my desk quite a bit. However, those hikes in the woods or walks around the neighborhood are necessary. I would love to have your dog join me. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. I walk, feed and give plenty of attention. You tell me the rest. I miss having our own dog and would love to take care of yours. It's not a good time to get another dog, but I know how to love and care for yours. I work from home and will handle the care of your dog.
“Caroline was great with communicating. We were greatly appreciative of her welcoming Bentley to stay last minute, seeing our other boarder had to back out due to a family emergency. Bentley seemed to enjoy his time there. He had one behavior problem that was very unusual for him, but Caroline was open and honest about what happened. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Bentley with her again.”


“Heather was amazing! I have a super hard time leaving my pup for any length of time, but Heather made it super easy. Sammy had a blast and learned a lot about self-control!!! She is a great sitter and trainer! He already misses her and her pups! Will for sure rebook in the future!!!!”

“Sara took amazing care of our boy! We got lots of photos and updates. Maverick had a fantastic time playing with George, their golden. She has a fenced in yard and property for the dogs to run.”

“She and her husband did a wonderful job of caring for kur Labrador retriever for nearly two weeks. You can tell that they treat your dog like their own. Very pleased with Allison’s service in every way.”

“Daniel took excellent care of our collie Emma. He gave us daily updates. We particularly liked the fact that he took her (and his own two dogs) for walks multiple times daily. Will definitely use his services again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Jared and the care he provided for our anxious dog Finn! From the moment we met Jared and his sweet dog Charlie we knew Finn would be in good hands during our 10 day trip. It was such a comfort knowing that Finn had all his favorite things from home and that he was allowed on furniture just like at home. Jared was so great at communicating and shared photos often. We could tell that Finn was doing well. He was able to warm up and relax with Jared and Charlie. In the past when Finn stayed at a kennel he was so nervous and upset when he came home afterwards but when we brought him home after staying with Jared Finn was his same sweet self. We will definitely have Finn stay with Jared during any future trips we take. We’re so grateful to have found Jared and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

“Timber enjoyed his stay with Maggie! The temps were cold, but Maggie still took him on a walk and ensured he had the right amount of time inside and outside. She was attentive to his curious temperament and showed him a lot of attention. I highly recommend Maggie and we’ll book in the future.”

About: Hello, and welcome to the Pup's Place, your dog's home when you're away from home. I have experience in dog walking and sitting, whether it be at your place or mine. My experience lies primarily with small and medium sized breeds but I can provide care for large breeds (40-100 lbs). I'll be honest, I joined Rover as a way to experience all the joys that a dog brings in life after losing my best friend who lived to 21 years old. I'm not ready to get another dog so I hope that caring for yours as I have cared for mine all her life can fill the hole inside my heart, as well as put you at ease knowing your dog is receiving the utmost love and care we both know they deserve. As for availability, I work full time midnight shifts (7pm-7:30am) at the hospital, 3 days a week. I can work around my schedule to meet your needs. Please feel free to message me with questions regarding availability. I look forward to working with you! I work full time at the hospital (3 days a week). My schedule is flexible, so I am able to meet your needs. I can stop by before and after work and if you live near the hospital, I will be able to stop by on my lunch break (2am) if overnight care is needed. I have a fenced in yard, spacious living room and bedroom areas for your babies to hang out, relax, and play. Pets are allowed on the furniture and bed. I do have 2 cats who have experience living with small and medium sized breeds of dogs
“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of Zeek while we were away for a week! She was extremely communicative before and during his stay. She's a true professional. Thank you, Lisa!”

About: I’m a reliable and easygoing cat and dog sitter who really likes being around animals, especially cats. I’ve had both for over 10 years, so I’m used to their different personalities and how they act. I know cats need a calm and comfortable space, and I make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I also have caregiving experience, which has helped me be patient and responsible. I’m happy to take dogs on walks and play with them too, but I always make sure every pet is well taken care of. I follow instructions and keep good communication so you can trust your pet is in good hands.
About: I've had dogs my whole life! I love getting them out to play and get exercise! I would love to get your pets out during the day if they're in need of a walk or a bathroom break while you're away. I currently have a bossy cat, who knows exactly when feeding time is. Then, I have the sweetest dog.. she gets walks everyday, and tug of war for hours on end. I have a big yard and a furbaby that loves other dogs! And treats.... I can walk, feed, or let your pets outside. Really, anything your pet needs while you're not there.. I really have a passion for animals, and I always want them to be happy and healthy..

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sara Q provided while we were away. She came every single day—even in heavy snow—to make sure our cats were well cared for and comfortable. Her dedication truly went above and beyond. Sara took care of everything: feeding and caring for our cats, bringing in our mail, and watering our plants. She was extremely informative and communicative, always letting us know if anyone came by the house or if there were any happenings we should be aware of. That level of transparency gave us real peace of mind. Her professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail really stood out. It’s clear she has excellent knowledge of cat care and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to happy cats and a well-kept home. We highly recommend Sara Q and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”


About: I have years of experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or more independent, I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and giving attention at your cat’s pace—whether that means playtime or just a calm presence. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels relaxed, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.
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 while weekdays do work, it would need to be around that sort of schedule during the school year. I can provide short term care on weekdays and more intensive care on weekends. During summer months I am wide open to provide care as needed. I’m an avid runner and LOVE to be outside so I’m happy to provide short or long walks for your animal. During summer months, my availability is based largely on your needs.
“Marissa took great care of our two cats during our weekend away. She charmed even our shy kitty during the intro visit and gave us the peace of mind that they’d have good company while we were away. Thank you Marissa for treating our babies like your own!”

“Olivia has been great with my working line German Shepherd. He’s very high energy and can be a handful sometimes, but she handles him with patience and confidence. He loves his walks with her! Highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own pets since I was 10. Taking care of animals is my main passion. I used to work at a dog boarding kennel and was in the FFA at the career tech center for a year in high school, where I raised baby sheep and grew chickens. I am currently studying to be a zoologist where I hope to go into a career of taking care of animals! I own many pets myself, so I care for them daily and once a week I do a deep clean of all their cages, tanks and enclosures. Caring for animals is part of my daily life routine. I am attentive and have always been good at understanding what animals need/ want. I will never leave ur pets side unless they want alone time. I can play for hours with your puppy or just sit and cuddle your cat or dog. I really enjoy being around animals so it’s a treat just to meet new furry friends.
About: Coming from a background of puppy breeders, I have more then enough knowledge in not just caring for pets but understanding them as well. I have a genuine love for all animals, and have grown up with dogs, cats, farm animals and everything in between. Animals adore my company and high energy and the time I take to ensure they’re safe, fed, comfortable and have had plenty of time for exercise. When it comes to animal care I am definitely the person pet owners would seek out! Pet care works into my schedule in many ways! Essentially I’m available any day or time as I own a snow removal company and am really only busy on the days it snows more then 3” which for me is typically one to two days a week (maybe). How I take care of my puppy, well my dog is served food twice a day about 2 cups of dog food. She is my buisness partner as I work alone, so she rides shot gun everywhere I go when plowing. We have an underground fence although she has been very well trained that she wouldn’t run off even without a collar. My dog can sit, bow, lay down, roll over and I’ve trained her to off leash walk. Everywhere I go I am complimented on how well minded she is. And as a black lab shepherd mix that’s impressive considering the level of engergy she has. In my clients home I will tend to my clients specific instructions as I know every owner to puppy relationship is defferent. I will care for their animal just as they would. And ensure a easy going, safe, and happy environment for the best sitting experience possible.

About: Since I can remember I’ve been around pets. At one point in time I had 6 dogs and 3 cats! I understand body language and an animals needs. I believe animals are the best things on the planet and they can do no wrong! I’m currently a full time student pursuing an aviation maintenance career! I’m at school 7am-3pm Mon-Fri. Although, I can leave school whenever to take of your pets! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for pets to run around! My personal pets are dog and cat friendly. I have multiple crates and carriers if need be!
About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!
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: 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.

“We could not have picked a better stay for our first overnights away from our sweet pup, Billie! Rachel and Ivan were extremely communicative and made sure to keep us up to date with the daily activities! Not only did Billie love her time with Rachel and Ivan but also got along great with their resident dog. We received lots of pictures and videos that helped us feel certain that she was having a great time while we were away. Billie has quite a bit of energy and they were able to play fetch and take her for walks to help keep her active. We are so thankful for their care and would recommend and will book again!”

“Cheyenne was amazing. She sent us updates and pictures of our sweet baby and was also very accommodating. It was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be using her from here on out. <3”

“Angela has a great fenced in back yard, perfect for my Chuli to run around and play in. She sent photo updates regularly, and her pup was a great playmate for mine. It was only the second time Chuli had stayed away, but she came back home happy and healthy.”


About: I had to put down my 10 year old lab this winter. I miss having dog, but thought this would be a great way to spoil your dog and have a dog in the house again. I'm not ready for another pet just yet. I will be in charge, as I work from home. Promise lots of walks, private beach if your dog enjoys that and lots of attention. No puppies (can discuss if housebroken) and can provide for senior dogs if needs are reasonable. Thank you! I primarily work from home so your dog will never be left alone for long. I am writer, so I sit at my desk quite a bit. However, those hikes in the woods or walks around the neighborhood are necessary. I would love to have your dog join me. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. I walk, feed and give plenty of attention. You tell me the rest. I miss having our own dog and would love to take care of yours. It's not a good time to get another dog, but I know how to love and care for yours. I work from home and will handle the care of your dog.
“Caroline was great with communicating. We were greatly appreciative of her welcoming Bentley to stay last minute, seeing our other boarder had to back out due to a family emergency. Bentley seemed to enjoy his time there. He had one behavior problem that was very unusual for him, but Caroline was open and honest about what happened. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Bentley with her again.”


“Heather was amazing! I have a super hard time leaving my pup for any length of time, but Heather made it super easy. Sammy had a blast and learned a lot about self-control!!! She is a great sitter and trainer! He already misses her and her pups! Will for sure rebook in the future!!!!”

“Sara took amazing care of our boy! We got lots of photos and updates. Maverick had a fantastic time playing with George, their golden. She has a fenced in yard and property for the dogs to run.”

“She and her husband did a wonderful job of caring for kur Labrador retriever for nearly two weeks. You can tell that they treat your dog like their own. Very pleased with Allison’s service in every way.”

“Daniel took excellent care of our collie Emma. He gave us daily updates. We particularly liked the fact that he took her (and his own two dogs) for walks multiple times daily. Will definitely use his services again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Jared and the care he provided for our anxious dog Finn! From the moment we met Jared and his sweet dog Charlie we knew Finn would be in good hands during our 10 day trip. It was such a comfort knowing that Finn had all his favorite things from home and that he was allowed on furniture just like at home. Jared was so great at communicating and shared photos often. We could tell that Finn was doing well. He was able to warm up and relax with Jared and Charlie. In the past when Finn stayed at a kennel he was so nervous and upset when he came home afterwards but when we brought him home after staying with Jared Finn was his same sweet self. We will definitely have Finn stay with Jared during any future trips we take. We’re so grateful to have found Jared and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

“Timber enjoyed his stay with Maggie! The temps were cold, but Maggie still took him on a walk and ensured he had the right amount of time inside and outside. She was attentive to his curious temperament and showed him a lot of attention. I highly recommend Maggie and we’ll book in the future.”

“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of Zeek while we were away for a week! She was extremely communicative before and during his stay. She's a true professional. Thank you, Lisa!”

“I cannot say enough about the awesome puppy-sitting experience I had with Stephanie and Scott (and their super great dog, Rosie)!! I am new to the Rover experience and had to leave my 13-week old puppy and was nervous about leaving. From the start, Scott and Steph put me at ease and even offered a meet up beforehand so we and our dogs could meet. I was updated daily, sometimes more, with video and photos and I could see immediately that my puppy was in the best hands I could imagine; it was like a vacation for my puppy, too! They really take an interest in making it a great experience and environment for their pet guest. Rosie was very gentle and tolerant of a very active, playful puppy and Sophie and Rosie are now best pals! We will definitely use Scott and Steph again without any hesitation!”

About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!
“Wonderful couple and family who were able to take care of our 2 dogs when we had to fine a place for them for a couple of days.She was flexible with dates, times, and was great to work with on Rover. Highly recommended and would definitely use her again. Thank you for taking care of our 2 dogs.”


“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! Our daughter’s wedding was on this day and she stayed with our two dogs at the resort during all of the wedding festivities. She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)”


About: While your fur baby is in my care they get quality playtime, walks and love. I treat them like they are my own. You will also get daily updates and photos. Pet sitting is my full time job. This gives me plenty of time to play or walk your dog. I'm also able to do overnight visits, stays or boarding. I have a large yard and neighborhood to take nice long walks in. I also have a dog that loves to play and get along with others.
