Highly-rated overnight sitters - Empire
“My boys had a very relaxing weekend with Lisa and her husband. The fact that they don't have dogs or cats meant each of my boys got a lot of attention. I think they would've like to have stayed FOREVER, unfortunately for them, we did have to take them home.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and it is nerve wracking leaving your fur baby with a stranger. Rachael however put all worries to ease. She’s friendly, a great communicator, and we felt confident our pup was in great hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
“We left our golden with Jennifer for 9 days, and he seemed to have a great time hanging out. He got along well with Jennifer's smaller dog. She sent us photos now and then (we didn't want them daily), and that eased our mind that he was being well cared for. Recommend!”
“Perfect in every aspect. I can tell Ghost really enjoyed himself and I was scared he wouldn't want to come back home from all the fun he was having haha. Great service and look forward to booking them again in the future. Thank you very much! Chris”
“Tracey took excellent care of our dog Honey while we were in town for the Ironman race. She was welcoming at drop off and Honey took to her right away. I was sent updates and photos during the pet sitting time which gave us relief seeing how well she was doing. I would book Tracey again 1000%. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!!”
“Maggie was truly incredible! She’s the best sitter I have ever used on Rover. She made my nervous dog feel so comfortable and sent regular updates. She even made me a small painting of my dog after watching her for just a weekend. I highly recommend her!”
“Kimberly and Jeremy and their kids are awesome! Bruno had a wonderful time. They sent plenty of photos and updates. They have a large yard where he had lots of running and fetch time. Highly recommend!”
“Peter was amazing and took such great care of our Baxter! This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and we were very concerned. Peter reassured us and sent updates throughout our trip! Highly recommend!!!”
“Stephanie and Scott took terrific care of our senior pup, Luna. They were loving caregivers and clearly did all they could to make Luna comfortable and to love on and play with her. We received multiple updates and photos every day. We are most happy to have found this home away from home for her, and will definitely be bringing her back!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I am really grateful for the care that was provided by Beth to Tasha. I got periodic updates on how tasha was doing throughout her stay. Beth made sure that tasha got a lot of love and care during her stay.”

“Can’t say enough great things about Gail! Always dependable, trustworthy and really cares about the animals. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to assist with their animals.”
“From the first meet and greet Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Abigail. She took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation and provided updates and photos during each visit! We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned cats for over six years and have been fully responsible for their daily care, including feeding, deep-cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I also rescued a stray cat and took on full responsibility for his care. Through consistency, I helped him adjust to indoor life, learn routines, and feel safe and comfortable. This experience taught me how to work with shy, anxious, or newly rescued cats and respect each cat’s unique boundaries. I’m attentive, gentle, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure cats feel secure, clean, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Jill has always taken excellent care of our kitties. She is very reliable and does a great job communicating their status and cares given. Lots of pictures too. We highly recommend her to watch over your pets!!”
“Madison was very friendly and communicative, and I felt confident that my cat, Chloe, was under great care while we were away. I will definitely book with Madison again in the future!”
“Highly recomend James. He helped me during a family emergency, came the same day I contacted him for the meet and greet. Started right away. And took great care of my aging Border Collie. She's a picky eater and James went above and beyond to make sure she ate, ( she dosen't allways eat when im gone). I honestly never write reviews for anyone, but I am definitely impressed. Thank you so much James, for taking such good care of my Casey dog.”
“Patty was a great communicator from start to finish. She kept us informed on our cats and treated our house well. We would definitely let her watch our house and kitties again. Thanks Patty!”
“Highly recommend Marcus! Was reliable, very loving with our senior cat, and great communication, sharing detailed check-ins and photos as requested. Thoughtful and kind, Marcus will make sure whatever you and pet need are taken care of”

“Harper loved her time in the big back yard in the country! She seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her. Thank you so much for opening your home to her!”
“Rachel and Ivan are great. They treated our dog very well even though he was nervous his first time at there home. The family dog Charles is sweet and gets a long well with other dogs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a wonderful family to watch your dog.”
“Jill was such an angel! I had a family trip in Traverse and although my pup did great at the resort and wineries, we wanted her to be safe and loved when we went to the beach and pool. Jill had amazing reviews and let me not only book same day during a holiday, but also asked if my pup did ok, offered an overnight service to save me some driving time. Jill gave me updates throughout the day, listened to all my directions, sent pictures and really loved on my usually anxious furbaby during her FIRST overnight with a Rover sitter at 15 years old!! Will definitely book Jill again and recommend anyone do the same!!!”
“Jennifer accepted our doggy daycare request just two days before, which was incredibly helpful. Fitzy had an amazing time with her and his new friend Hobbes. They went on a run together and enjoyed some time relaxing. Jennifer kept us updated throughout the day and sent photos. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area!”
“Maggie was great with Dexter! Now that it’s warmer because he is a smushy face and all black he has issues regulating temperate. As such, I have various cooling bandanas and vests. Maggie was very good about putting them on to make sure Dexter stayed cool in the heat. Highly recommend!”

I have a fully fenced in yard so your dog can run outside and play at any time under my care where I will play with them!
“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience caring for multiple pets in my home and around family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have experience caring for pets throughout my life, so I’m used to building feeding, cleaning, and check in times into my day. I’m able to take care of pets anytime on the days I put. I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and give them reliable care and attention every visit. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for both dogs and cats. I make sure all doors and windows are secure and that the space is free from anything unsafe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks for dogs, litter box care for cats, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep them safe and well cared for at all times.
About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Since childhood, I've always had a dog at home, mainly pugs and Aussies. Back home, I use to watch all my siblings dogs as well as watching friends fur babies. I love animals! I’m going back to college (online) so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to go and let a pup out for a walk or even the possibly of sitting at my home. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. The Aussie is high energy and my pug is old and is not bothered by other dogs, he just will not play.
About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.
About: Hi my name is Gillian! I recently moved to Traverse City, and I am a registered nurse. I have always been a huge dog lover and have had pups all throughout growing up, so I am experienced in caring for these furry creatures whether it is walking, playing with, or just spending time together. I also adopted a husky named Blu, and he is a sweet, playful love bug. He loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly! He is good with kids as well and appreciates when they are respectful of him. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting, or daycare/ over night care in my home. Please reach out if I can be of service to you and your pup/pups in any of these ways! :) I have a sporadic schedule right now with a lot of free days off! I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pups in your home or mine! I live in a three bedroom home near chums corner. There is a large gated in yard for your pups to play in and it’s a safe area to go on lots of walks as well!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Empire
About: I am experienced walking and taking care of many different breeds, including a Weimaraner, Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Corgi, and a Chihuahua. I have also house sat for dogs, cats, and rabbits. One of the dogs I've watched had a history of seizures, so I learned how to administer their daily medication. I'm very punctual and I love animals. I've walked dogs in a lot of different weather conditions, and have no problem walking your dog regardless of what weather Michigan decides to throw at everyone. I look forward to getting some valuable time outdoors, and getting to take care of some adorable animals. I have a fairly open schedule and will do my best to accommodate clients. I am available to work early, late, and overnight as needed. I will take care of pets in their home so that they can be the most comfortable. I will follow the schedule for walks and food that their owner provides.
“Kathryn really got me out of a bind as she was able to walk Maggie twice on short notice. She made sure that I was comfortable with her by taking time to come over and meet the day before. She kept me updated with pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and currently have a dog & cat, both who are friendly with other pets. I am patient, reliable and deeply committed to loving and attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I’ve been trusted to walk neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and to dog-sit since I was 12, which taught me how to care for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to dogs, I’ve had cats for over 5 years, so I’m comfortable caring for both. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work nights typically from 3pm-11pm. This allows me to be very present and flexible during the day when it comes to walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have plenty of free time during both weekdays and weekends, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and adjust my schedule to meet their needs. Through regular walks, play sessions, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure every pet feels comfortable by following their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other house rules. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and feel at ease. The furniture is pet-friendly, allowing well-mannered guests to feel like part of the family rather than confined to a separate space. Outside, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore, exercise, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets at all times, especially during play and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and carefully follow all instructions. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates, make sure pets always have fresh water, and monitor behavior closely. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“So sweet we originally booked her for the weekend that ended up not needing her and she was so understanding and flexible. Very good at communications and responsive. Sent photos too! 10 out of 10 would use her again”
“We were vacationing in Glen Arbor and needed some last-minute help with our pup while we celebrated a special occasion at a local restaurant. We booked Jennifer for a two-hour walk, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was a fantastic communicator, professional, punctual, and arrived with a big smile. We immediately felt at ease from the moment we met her and felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in her care. She kept us updated throughout the evening with messages about how Coco was doing, which we really appreciated. Coco had a great time, and we were able to enjoy our dinner knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely book Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”
“Tabitha is been walking my 85 year old mother's labradoodle for about a month. Tabitha has been very kind to my mother and has taken great care of Cocoa. I always get updates about their walks and what business Cocoa has done. Tabitha has also been very dependable through the sub-zero weather we have had this winter. She always shows up with a smile and is happy to be there.”
“Katherine was very responsive, listened to the instructions perfectly and made me feel that my sweet baby was well cared for with her visit !! She also sent pictures, which was such a treat to see my baby happy when I’m at work!”
“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 have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time, and a online class. I can work with your animal Thursday after I get done working till Sunday. Maybe other days depending how close you are. I love on your animal like it was my own. I will send pictures of them if you want updates. Follow the directions you give me on what and when you feed them.
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: Hi there! My name is Solea, and I’ve spent my entire life around dogs. I currently work in the pet care industry and have professional experience in dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and general pet care. Through both my personal and professional experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve owned multiple dogs throughout my life- including having up to seven dogs at one time- which has given me extensive experience managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra attention, or somewhere in between, I provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away :) My boyfriend, Dom, is also highly experienced with dogs and has spent most of his life working with and caring for them. Like me, he has experience in dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and general pet care settings. He also has experience with training, administering medications, and helping care for dogs with a variety of needs and temperaments! In addition, he is CPR certified, providing an extra level of preparedness and peace of mind. One of our favorite things is working together and spending time with dogs. We make a great team and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences. Between the two of us, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection. We understand that every dog is unique, and we treat every pet like family. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring and experienced hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. Whether your pet needs daytime care, overnight stays, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to work with you to find the best arrangement. I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I stay attentive to their needs throughout the day and always try to understand their behavior and energy so they feel at ease. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have—whether that’s feeding routines, medications, playtime styles, or anything else that helps your dog feel most comfortable. My goal is to keep things familiar, calm, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
About: I've used sitters through this site in Michigan for my little girl, Kiera Marie.-It was great! I've done lots of dog sitting and dog fostering too. Living in beautiful Northern Michigan, I can't think of a more beautiful area to dog walk! I'm available to take your dog for walks-let’s set up a schedule! I'm also happy to dog sit in either one of our homes. I am always willing to fit a furbaby into my schedule. I have experience with large and small breeds. I am also comfortable sitting for multiple dogs. I have worked with restricted diets and behavioural issues. I have a soft spot for all dogs and I look forward to talking with you soon! My husband and I both work part-time, so one of us can always be with the pups! We will adhere to any feeding schedule that your family is accustomed to. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy the great outdoors! We’ll enjoy many walks and cuddles!! If your pup enjoys it we have plenty of toys to play fetch with too. Your pup will be treated like family! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate just about any arrangement that you need. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! :) Expect lots of walks, playing fetch, dog play dates (if they’re up for it) cuddles, photos for their parents, treats…They will be showered with love!

“My boys had a very relaxing weekend with Lisa and her husband. The fact that they don't have dogs or cats meant each of my boys got a lot of attention. I think they would've like to have stayed FOREVER, unfortunately for them, we did have to take them home.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and it is nerve wracking leaving your fur baby with a stranger. Rachael however put all worries to ease. She’s friendly, a great communicator, and we felt confident our pup was in great hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
“Bob kept our dog safe and happy. He was quick to respond always, and sent a couple photo updates daily, as I requested.

He is very knowledgeable and reinforced some training while we were away.”
“We left our golden with Jennifer for 9 days, and he seemed to have a great time hanging out. He got along well with Jennifer's smaller dog. She sent us photos now and then (we didn't want them daily), and that eased our mind that he was being well cared for. Recommend!”

“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.”
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Lucy. She and Dave have a large fenced-in yard and took Lucy on several walks. She was excellent at communicating, including sending photos and videos. Will definitely hVd her board Lucy again!”
“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!”
“I am really grateful for the care that was provided by Beth to Tasha. I got periodic updates on how tasha was doing throughout her stay. Beth made sure that tasha got a lot of love and care during her stay.”
About: I started my pet care journey as a dog walker at age 9, and have found great joy in pet sitting over the years. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages and personalities, and now specialize in in-home boarding where your pets are treated like part of our family. My home offers fenced acreage for safe, supervised running and play, along with structured walks and trail runs for those who need a little extra. After playtime, there’s always a warm bed, or a cozy spot on the couch, waiting for naps and snuggles. With degrees in Wildlife Biology and Zoology, I bring not only a deep love for animals but also a professional understanding of their behavior, needs, and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I split my regular work schedule with 3 wfh days each week. We are an early rising family who enjoy spending time on our homestead. We have several resident pets on the farm: 20 sheep, 2 mini donkeys, chickens and one beloved mutt. Our regular routine involves a 1 mi walk in the am and pm with lots of other opportunities throughout the day for supervised fresh air or playtime in one of our fenced 1 acre pastures. Safe and secure, a ball lovers paradise! I’m comfortable treating your pet as my own with specialized treatment or care as needed. We have 2 respectful preteen boys in the household so kid friendly dogs are an absolute must.
