“Joni made every aspect of our experience with pet boarding phenomenal. As an owner I felt like I was leaving Lily, our precious pet, in the best care you can ask for. Joni was open and very transparent with Lily’s time at her home, sending pictures and videos each day we were gone. I recommend Joni if you are looking for a caring, welcoming and friendly environment for your pet!”
“Highly recommend! Cooper was well taken care of and Martha provided regular updates with photos. She went above and beyond, taking him for walks and playing fetch. It was heart warming to see Cooper cuddle up to her as we left, not wanting to leave. A true testament to her care and attention. We will definitely be seeing her for future boarding opportunities!”
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
“This is the second time Rachel has taken care of our two dogs. She and her girls love our dogs like they are their own. When we picked up Coco and Pebbles, they were happy and well taken care of. We will recommend and use Rachel’s services again.”
“Kasey was amazing! She was so good with Buddy. I felt so comfortable leaving him. She has a perfect set up for the dogs. Her dogs were great with Buddy too even though they were much larger. They were very kind and gentle. She was great at sending pics and communication. I would highly recommend Kasey!”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“My dog was a bit nervous since he has not been away from home for almost two years. Victoria and Rishi paid special attention to him to make him feel comfortable. Thanks! We will be back soon.”
“Bella loved staying with Marty and her boys. She was all wagging tail and smiles when I picked her up! We will definitely use Marty again! I loved all the messages they put me at ease!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“This was my first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my fear-aggressive dog with someone outside of family. I was honestly nervous, but Toni completely exceeded my expectations. From our first meet and greet, she made me feel comfortable and confident that my dog was in great hands. Toni is very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I truly believe she helped build my dog’s confidence around other dogs during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Toni. If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your dog—especially one who may need a little extra care—Toni is the person to book. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again without hesitation!”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was a kid. Between family members and friends, they have always been a part of my life. I currently own a 6 year old cat named Yuri that we rescued.
“Makayla is so kind and so great with my kitty, Misty. My kitty loves her and they really enjoy each other! Definitely will keep booking her to care for my Misty. Highly recommend.”
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
About: While I love animals of all kinds, cats are my soul animals. As you probably saw in other spots on my profile, I currently have 4 of my own. (I had five, but I very sadly lost my dear girl, Rita, to cancer last year ❤️). I love my kitties so much that I literally have two of their portraits tattooed on my arm. They're my entire world. I know that those of us who love cats, all share the same obsession. We're a special type of person. I currently care-take for my sick boy, Castle, dealing with his kidney disease. And have taken care of all my babies with the utmost care through their whole lives. I'm comfortable and confident in giving all kinds of medications, including administering subcutaneous fluids by myself. I'd love to care for your kitties while you're away!
About: I have owned pets my entire life. From a little shitzu to a big pitbull. I have watched friends and family's dogs over the years and now looking to help other people with their fur babies. I was a dental hygienist but due to my twins needing more support I have decided to become a stay at home mom. I figured I needed to find things to help keep me busy when they're in pre school and why not have it spent doing something I enjoy. Whatever your needs are for your Fur babies im all open ears. I want you to have trust with me with your animals. I'm a great communicator and will always respond and will send pictures !
“Marlana is conscientious, prompt and so sweet with my cats. Both took to her right away and my normally shy and skittish Maine Coon especially fell in love. Great communication while we took a long trip, sending updates and photos. Also very patient helping me use the Rover app, which is not intuitive!”
About: I use to work for my grandmother who would raise dogs, take care of them, and then give someone a dog. I would clean up after dogs in all ways. Take care of the puppies with the moms.

And available most times and nights on the weekends! At this moment in time I do not have the ability or place to actually house sit at my home but, I can come to you!
“I have been so happy with her and can’t say enough about how great she has been. She responds promptly and is great at keeping us up to date with our fur babies. Would recommend her to everyone”
“Suzi is very professional and took excellent care of our five cats. She followed the instructions I left exactly and kept me updated throughout the week. We have two cats that require special food and she was able to do that without a problem. I never questioned the level of care my cats would receive throughout the week and highly recommend!”

“Joni is awesome!!! Her setup is a like a dog's resort. She greeted us, showed us how my pup could run around freely inside and out. The topper, my dog loves to swim and she had a setup with the doggie stairs. She even sent me a video :). It was great to relax knowing my baby was in good hands!”

About: I've cared for a variety of pets and livestock my entire life, including medical care. Additionally, I have spent time and am passionate about working with and training dogs. I am currently an online, asynchronous student, so my schedule is very flexible. This means that I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and gates through the house to ensure that spaces can be portioned off if needed. I also have experience monitoring the health of pets, livestock, and laboratory animals.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
About: I have had animals in my home for my entire life. And I do truly enjoy spending time with all animals, They keep me active. I'm currently not working which leaves me lots of time to walk, play & nap with my dog and other dogs during the day time. I have a nice grassy with cement area fenced in yard with ample shade & a friendly dog to play with & to keep other dogs company.
“Victoria and Rishi are great! My dog Jax seemed to take to them and was able to relax. I could tell that Jax was getting comfortable with them when he went right to Rishi on his second visit. They also worked with my schedule. Overall nothing but great things to say.”
About: I put all my attention to what I’m doing I’m a mother of three babies I am very picky about my house (very clean) I’m married and have two dogs of my own I like to stay busy. Right now I work a full time job until I can get this going. More type of a person that would like to work from home person. I will make them feel apart of a family and treat them like they are my babies. Make sure they are good taking care of and make sure they are good.
About: I've had a dog for the past 5 years ( shiloh ) she's a German Shepard! She is wonderfully and well trained also is fixed. she does love to greet people so she might jump. I've also dog sat for many years as well and I worked for a dog company back in 2017 where I took care of daily task as well as medical needs when necessary, and worked along side pregnant and and birthing mothers. I have had a couple cats growing up, none to call my own though. So I am also acquainted with the care of cats and kittens as well as shiloh was raised around all types of animals and children of various ages so we are comfortable saying there should be no issues with her. However we can make other accommodation for her if you don't feel comfortable with another animal in the home. One final note I have 2 children a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I hope you enjoy my profile and to hear from you soon! I have a 5 year old German Shepard who lives full time with me and my children at home. I know how to give medication, shots aswell as cut nails and bathe but I do not feel comfortable trimming or giving the dogs a hair cut. I don't have a fence, i do have a little yard but I have harnesses and leads to walk and take the dogs out side to play. I do have a crate available if needed my dog is trained as well as crate trained. Shiloh ( my dog ) love the company of other fur babies to run around as play with. My two children are also in love with animals but I do have a vary large second living room and attached mud room that I can limit off for dog access if it would make having a dog stay here more comfortable due them not being used to children!
“Makayla was wonderful with my 7 year old lab! She was communicative and sent me pictures of Ollie enjoying his time with her. She even took the time to talk to me about his behavior patterns and needs as identified by me. I will certainly be booking again!”
“Kasey was very kind and understanding with Oliver's anxiety as this was his first experiencewith going to daycare. Oliver will definitely become a regular member of Kasey's daycare.”

“We loved the communication and photo/video updates throughout the day. Dogs seemed like they had a great time and got home tuckered out. We appreciated the integrated training and slow, deliberate intro to other dogs.”
“Alex was so helpful for us. We needed somewhere to put our dogs for an evening for my daughters graduation from MSU and a few hiccups came up along the way and Alex was able to accommodate a few last minute changes. She sent us pictures and videos so we would know the animals had settled in. Definitely would recommend her.”
“Kimberly was super flexible and great with our 7 month old pup, Maggie! She communicated well with us ahead of time and made the whole process smooth as we were navigating Rover for the first time. Her dog Sparky got along great with our dog and Maggie was nice and tired out in the evening. Thanks again!”
“Ellen is super responsive and gets back to you right away! We recently moved into town and needed a sitter with one week notice. Ellen set up a meet and greet prior to our daycare date with us as soon as possible. Kiwi came back happy and tired! Ellen provided photos and updates throughout the day too!”

About: I have been keeping pets since I was a small child. My father owns a farm, my mother is a professional dog groomer. I worked for preuss pets over 5 years. I can handle anything from hobby farm animals to exotics like birds and reptiles! You name it I've probably watched it before. Welcomed to new experiences too! I am a stay at home mom with an assortment of pets. I take care of everyone on the daily. I would love to spice my day up helping with your crew! I am very professional, will treat your pets like my own. I am not afraid to ask questions to make sure they are reciving the care you've requested!
“You are literally the best. I had the best night in years and I appreciate you more than I could ever tell you accepting my extremely late request. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, prompt.”
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
About: I've had my own pets since I was a child (0ver 40 years) and have also fostered dogs through capital area humane society for years. I currently walk an older couples dog weekly to ensure she gets out and some exercise each week. I work from home and can take multiple breaks to walk away throughout the day. I love being outdoors and going for walks in any type of weather. Rain is something I try to avoid. I am free to work remotely from any location if you happen to need a pet sitter in home or multiple check ins throughout a specific time period.
About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
About: Hi there! My name is Ruby, and I was born and raised in Clinton County, MI. Growing up, my family had a variety of pets, including an Old English Bulldog and German Shepherds, which helped shape my love for dogs from an early age. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we’re renting, I’m looking to take on opportunities like this to earn some extra income during my final summer before graduating. I absolutely love dogs, have experience pet sitting and staying overnight with pets on multiple occasions, and some of my favorite breeds are Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. My schedule varies, so I’m using this as an opportunity to help fill in the gaps on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, I’m hoping to build consistent work so I can establish reliable income while also getting to know and build relationships with specific pups over time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep in mind that I’m stepping into their space and routine, and that their pet may not know me yet. I make it a priority to take the time to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by moving at their pace, respecting their routines, and building trust. Whether that means going for walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I aim to create a calm and positive experience while making sure your pet feels cared for in a familiar environment.
About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.

About: I would make a great sitter for you because I genuinely love spending time with all animals ,and I have a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. My passion for animals drives me to create a nurturing and safe environment for them, where they can feel comfortable and happy. I’m Working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time with your animals, but I do work so I would be gone for a couple hours. I’m pretty flexible with times. I also don’t work on holidays It's essential to conduct drop-ins on the dogs they care for to ensure their well-being and comfort. Regular visits play a crucial role in maintaining the dogs' daily routines, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for the animals.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I’m currently in school to be a vet tech so this is what I’m best at! I’m currently a stay at home mom but I’m available for check ins/walks throughout the week and the weekends. My schedule will be updated often. I prefer to come to your home for check ins and pet care. I feel the pet will feel safer in their own home and environment and won’t be so stressed in a new place with somebody they aren’t familiar with.
About: I have always had pets growing up for as long as I can remember. I treat all dogs I meet as if they are my own and love to spoil them. I am currently working full time at a job with a very inconsistent schedule. I will always keep my calendar up to date for when I am available. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their toys, and showering them with all the love they deserve. My dog and I can’t wait to meet some more dog friends!
About: I had a chocolate lab. She passed away in July 2020. She was 16 years old. She was on medicine and had a couple surgeries so I am used to taking care of older dogs with meds, etc. I do have 5 cats and they are very spoiled. They are outdoor/indoor. They range in age from 9 yrs-2 yrs-old. I believe in daily exercise for animals, I even walk the cats! I am available very early mornings 6-7am and in the evening from 7pm on. I am also available on most weekends. I look forward to seeing your pet and helping you out! I have a full time second shift job. I will be available in the mornings before 3:00pm and most weekends all day long if needed. I am currently not boarding any pets due to my cats being very spoiled and particular about who they have around the house. I will give the best care to your pet in your house. I believe in exercise and a good diet for your pet and also the occasional treat.
About: I have had animals for my entire life. I currently am already taking care of horses,cattle,dogs,chickens,birds,monkeys,fish,alpacas and cats. I am more than willing to come to your house or host in my home also. Long or short periods. Animals are the best and I'd love to help take care of yours also! I am home 90% of the day so am open 7 days a week anytime. Rather your pets needs are big or small I have time for it all. I have a dog cable and large yard. Pets are welcome with or without cages. Will be loved and cared for just as if they are mine.
About: I’ve been in charge of just about any type of pet under the sun; including most reptiles and rodents. I’ve even cared for a marsupial! I’m up for any challenge, including special needs and medications. I’m currently finding myself with a lot of free time, so I’m open to pet sitting and dog walking throughout the week, with Monday being the only exception. I will follow any house rules given, and keep owners updated as often as they prefer. If medications are needed, I’ll have no issue administrating on schedule. I will make sure to keep all pups hydrated and happy on walks, and am open to sharing my location if asked.

“Highly recommend! Cooper was well taken care of and Martha provided regular updates with photos. She went above and beyond, taking him for walks and playing fetch. It was heart warming to see Cooper cuddle up to her as we left, not wanting to leave. A true testament to her care and attention. We will definitely be seeing her for future boarding opportunities!”
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Bella loved staying with Marty and her boys. She was all wagging tail and smiles when I picked her up! We will definitely use Marty again! I loved all the messages they put me at ease!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“This was my first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my fear-aggressive dog with someone outside of family. I was honestly nervous, but Toni completely exceeded my expectations. From our first meet and greet, she made me feel comfortable and confident that my dog was in great hands. Toni is very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I truly believe she helped build my dog’s confidence around other dogs during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Toni. If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your dog—especially one who may need a little extra care—Toni is the person to book. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again without hesitation!”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”
“Christine and Hendrik were both outstanding sitters for my Maltese, Kasie. Kasie is generally afraid of men, but she warmed up to Hendrik and loved them both very much. She was very happy there, and that's unusual for Kasie because she is so attached to us. I think she's going to miss them since we brought her home. They took great care of her. She was safe, secure, and having the time of her life at their wonderful home with a fenced back yard. I will book them again and again!”
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
“Ellen was absolutely amazing! She gave me constant updates about my dog and took great care of her the whole time I was away. I definitely plan on bringing my puppy to Ellen again!”
“Molly was so awesome to work with. Quick response, very laid back and accommodating! Made sure to slowly introduce them to the her dog and did a great job making sure everyone was safe. She even let them stay an extra night no problem!!! Will 100% book with her again.”
