“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!

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 if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.

“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 :)”

“Erika did a fantastic job! She took the best care of our 2 kitties while we were gone for a week. Our cats’ food, water, and litter boxes were clean and refilled. She took extra time to find them each time she visited, sent pictures, and gave them treats. She even brought in packages and our dumpster over the week. Highly recommend Erika and will be booking again with her!!”
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: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

“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.”

About: The most experience I have with cats is from having two of my own. I raised one since she was a few months old or so. She’s about 4 years old now. I have roughly 4 years or more of cat experience. I still have more to learn with cats and I’m learning every day with my cats at home.
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.

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: ’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.

I can visit twice daily, depending on location if a walk is needed. If I am pet sitting or boarding the pets will not be alone for more than 5 hours at a time.

I am also just 10 minutes from Carolina Beach State Park and the dog park if your pup likes to socialize

About: I have lots of experience with housesitting, I have a few families that I often housesit/dog sit for. I love being around animals, and I’ve watched anything from dogs and cats to goats, cows and chickens. I love it all! Your pets will be cared for and loved as if they were my own while in my care. From walks around your neighborhood to snuggles and treats your pet won’t even notice you left! When I house sit for my regulars I often send them picture updates of their pets so they can feel at ease and can see their animals are being taken care of and loved. Small, big, young, old, it doesn’t matter to me! I accept and love all sizes. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work Monday through Friday. Mondays are usually a lighter day and I am more flexible to be with your pet. During the week I will be at my regular job but can stop in on my break if the house is close to my work. Weekends I do not work at all and can be with the animals much more! I care for your pets like they are my own! I love playing, snuggling up and just hanging out with your fur baby. I have a dog of my own and he loves playing with other dogs or just coming along to hang out. If you have a dog that loves other dogs too then they will be best buds. (He also doesn’t have to come with me.)

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, 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.
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 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 if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet. I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.
“Jill is amazing! She has watched Copper now twice and I love her! She sends lots of pictures and is quick to answer when I send a message. I will use her whenever I need a sitter.”
“Michelle was amazing with our 1 year old Lab and we knew she was in good hands for the holiday weekend as soon as we met her! She most definitely is a dog lover, great with communication, sent wonderful pictures and provided welcome feedback. We will most certainly use her again next time we are in her area.”
“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 :)”
“I reached out to Megan as a last minute booking for our two pups. She was able to take them and was even flexible when car trouble made us very late. She sent photos and updates of them while she had them which helped me feel better. Bella and Strawberry, both under 25 lbs, made themselves at home with 100+lb doggies. Bella is still young and had lots of fun playing with the big doggies. She’s also escaped from our house a couple times. Megan’s yard is very secure. I highly recommend Megan to take care of your pups!!!”
“Our first experience using Rover was very pleasant because of Morgan!! She is very accommodating for such a short notice. She is flexible with drop off and picks up and communicative. My pup Evee felt right at home and warmed up rather quickly with Morgan and her dog. I couldn't thank her enough for keeping our family at ease with updates of Evee with photos and videos! Thank you!❤️”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“We had an amazing experience with Bob. Our puppy loved it from the first moment, as Bob's place feels so welcoming. Wooded trails right beyond the house with a walking access to the dog beach at lake Leelanau was great. Bob has sent pictures of dogs having fun at the beach. Overall freedom for the dogs to walk in and out to the fenced backyard, being welcomed on the couch was such a loving & carrying environment and perfect solution for our Golder Retriever, we will be there again and again when in Traverse City area!”
