“Marty is first rate. She is definitely a Star Sitter. She was great in communication, sending me texts, photos and videos of Dexter. Clearly, she took good care of him, he was in good hands. Dexter made friends and spent time outside, which he loves. One of my concerns was that Dexter got his medications, and Marty made sure he did. Without doubt, she is my choice for Dexter's lodging and daycare. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Joni was wonderful with Violet. It was the first time she had ever stayed anywhere besides Home and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. You can definitely tell that Joni‘s heart is in this and that she loves the pooches thank you Joni. I will definitely use her again.”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“I was nervous leaving my dogs for the first time. Holly was amazing! I got pictures and updates through the stay. I knew without a doubt that she was taking great care of my pups!”
“Victoria was the best! Her kiddos were adorable and clearly so gentle and good with the dogs. They got so much love while they were there! Plus the house + back yard setup was ideal for lots of playing and running. Victoria was super flexible and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely book again!”

“Shannon and her husband were amazing! We were nervous to leave our pup zoey with anyone for the first time and shannon calmed our fears and surpassed expectations! She sent us so many pictures of zoey and we know zoey was very well cared for! We will be using shannon again in the future!”
“I was very comfortable leaving Magoo with Stephanie. She was home with him which allowed him to run and play as he wished. She also sent us pics daily so we could see what he was doing. I’d highly recommend her for dog sitting, and I will be booking her again in the future.”
“Outstanding service from Greta. Lola loved it there and it shows when she came back home from our long vacation. Great was very accessible and sent updates and pictures (which by the way kept my wife from worrying. ?) Will definitely be using Greta in the future. I think we found our perfect Dog sitter ☺️. Thank you Greta again for everything.”
“Andrew and his wife always take great care of my dog. My dog is a covid pound puppy. He was born during covid and never properly socialized then dropped at the pound. He does not get along with other dogs at all and is very skittish with people. He runs right into Andrew's home like it's his own. I feel so much better knowing he's not terrified at a kennel but in a warm quiet home. Plus they send the cutest pics!”
“Very wonderful care! Our minds were put at ease after leaving Bailey ( this was our first time leaving Bailey with a sitter) we got many updates and pictures. We will definitely use this sitter again”

“Brittany was super sweet to our doggy. Always communicating with us, sending us photos, and keeping us updated. We are so grateful that Luca could stay with her, happy and safe while we were a part of a wedding this weekend. We are so happy and highly recommend her to take care of your pups.”

“Katie was beyond fantastic!! She made sure to get to know us and our (6) cats prior. And while visiting them, she took extra attention/time with our old lady cat to ensure she ate enough. Gave lots of scratches to our other furrbabies, sent us pics each day, and even cleaned up some (not so pleasant) ‘cat mess’ for us. Will be requesting her again any time we have to travel!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, having the unique experience raising and training dogs through my father, an experienced police dog trainer and handler. I have a lot of patience and take great care in handling dogs of all breeds. I have skills and experience in crate training, potty training, leash training, getting pets used to kids and other animals, and breaking food and toy aggression. I am available for drop-in visits and walks for all animals. I am able to board up to 3 dogs at a time. I am able to pick up and drop off for an additional fee of $30 each. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. For boards longer than 3 days, I require a “doggy day care” trial with a minimum of 4 hours to ensure your beloved pet and I are good fits for each other. Proof of vaccines required. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have the flexibility to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day. Having three children, we are big fans of routines. I ensure integration of your animals into our daily routine. We live on an acre with a fenced in backyard. Because of the foliage, I do require your dog to be on a tick preventative for their safety. We will keep your fur baby company, loved on and entertained! We spend a lot of time at home, so your pup will never get lonely under our care. I also take time to read your dogs cues and body language and teach my children how to read these and the importance of respecting animals and their boundaries. We treat all animals with love and respect.

I understand that every pet has their own temperament, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.

“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni.

We will definitely use Joni again when we are back in the area. By the way, she makes FANTASTIC Amish friendship bread!!!! Thank you so much Joni.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and currently own a dachshund, golden doodle, 4 goats & 24 chickens. I work from home most of the week so I am flexible to give you pet all of the cuddles while you are away. I love giving my dogs the chance to meet new friends. I am comfortable around any size dog and have plenty of experience. Feel free to contact me and consider my services. I am currently working part time at home and part time at work. I also have the flexibility to stay home with your pet if necessary. I have 6 acres of property for your baby to explore but can keep on a leash if more comfortable roaming with me. If your baby is most comfortable in a crate or snuggling in bed either is fine with me.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have personally trained my own dogs very well. I love dogs and am a great person to look after anyone's pet. I work at home on the computer. So I have time to take care of my dogs as well as others. I'm outside playing with my dogs all the time. I have 20 acres of land that is super safe for dogs. I have a fenced in area with a pool dogs are welcome to and fenced in grass backyard area that I keep open so dogs can go in and out for food/water and bathroom. I have few miles of custom made walking trails safe for dogs. All really safe and far from roads in the middle of the neighborhood block. All dogs have a lot of fun at my house. I have tons of room in my house. My front yard is incredibly spacious and has an electric pavilion that I keep food and water for dogs at in the daytime.

“Great environment for pups to feel safe, loved, and playful. You can immediately tell how much love and patience Kellie and Paige have for animals. The fenced-in yard is a definite plus! I had such a crazy/stressful day at work, and seeing how happy my pup was (Kellie sent pictures) made my heart full. So so happy we found this sitter!!”
About: From early on in life I have always been an animal lover. I was the one bringing home injured birds and stray dogs/cats when I was a kid. My mom was supportive of that passion and helped me help so many animals over the years. I have personally only adopted animals from rescues and my current dog is a rescue. I volunteer time to local rescues and bring supplies to local shelters. I care for neighbors animals and homes when they go out of town. I am always very nervous about new people around my animal and home, so I always make sure to treat clients like how I would want to be treated. I really enjoy giving people one less thing to worry about. I am openly available. Besides the occasional errand, I am always home, so nobody will be left home alone! We are up with the sun and stay up late! We are on 9 acres with river access, a quiet country road and plenty of places to lounge or run! It is not fenced in.
About: I’ve petsitted for cats several times, and 2 small dogs, 2 large dogs, neighbors dogs, and more. Please note: I do not/will not use muzzles for dogs I tutor and do music, but I am not currently working, so my availability is open. I can work all hours of the day and night. I live in a clean house where they will be allowed on the furniture, given plenty of food, water, snacks, and fun activities, walks everyday, potty breaks/or cleaned litter box, several times a day, and a spacious yard for outdoor time.

Safety is my top priority, non-aggressive breeds only. I will host up to 3 pets at a time, ensuring your dog/s receives individualized attention and care. I follow a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and potty breaks, and I will only feed your pet the foods you approve - no table scraps or human food. My spacious, fenced yard ensures your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Cozy lounging spots are scattered throughout my home for rest and relaxation after a day of fun.

“After my husky's first stay with Jamie, I can say we will definitely use her services again! Bailey loved spending time at her house. The fenced yard was perfect, and Jamie provided lots of love and connectedness. Thank you, Jamie!”
About: Both Matt and I have taken care of animals since we were young for friends &family. We have two frenchies both are two years old ( please keep in mind when they first meet a new dog they get very excited and can have a lot of energy and LOVE to play) We have also had experience with numerous breeds. Your fur baby will have lots of fun and love in our home. Having two frenchies, we know how high maintenance some dogs can be, that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best experience for you and your fur baby. During Monday-Friday I work 8-5. However, Matt does work from home so will be able to give your fur baby all the love and attention!( if Matt does have to step out it’s typically no longer than 2 hours but not often ) If you have any questions regarding our schedule, please feel free to reach out. If for some reason Matt does have to leave for more than a couple hours, we will block that day off as we do not believe in leaving fur babies alone for long periods. We are homebodies on the weekends as well. So someone will always be with your fur baby. We will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of walks and outside time. We live in a nice/quiet neighborhood. When the weather is nice, our frenchies love to sun bathe, play fetch, we also set up their splash pad, so we spend lots of time outside. We do allow dogs on our bed and furniture( if you allow it) we will not crate your dog unless we do have to step out ( which again is not often). During the night, we will not crate unless you prefer them in a crate. Please let us know if there is any special request and we can accommodate. We do ask for a meet n greet to make sure your dogs and our two frenchies get along. Your fur baby’s safety and comfortability will always be our priority as well as our babies. We know how it feels leaving your fur baby and you might get anxious so we will make sure to send a daily update. *Please note we are happy to accommodate large dogs, they MUST get along with little dogs. We do only accept one large dog at a time. Please be sure to look at our pics as we do have a short fence, if your dog is known for jumping we may have to utilize a leash*

About: I am a middle school english teacher that is looking to make some money during the summer and meet some cute dogs! I would treat your dog like my own. I have a silver lab of my own that I take on a walk everyday (when the weather allows it). He is 8 years old and has lived the best life by going on puppy play dates, doggy day care, and many trips camping with us. I grew up with all kinds of dogs my entire life and I truly feel they are apart of the family! Should be treated like they are apart of the family.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!

About: Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for years — dogs, cats, and various small animals. I understand that pets have social and emotional needs as much as physical ones, and I make it a priority to give them attention, companionship, and care that matches their personality and routine. I enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel secure and engaged, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply being present. For dogs, I’m comfortable with both high-energy breeds that need plenty of activity and older pups who do best with a slower pace. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays, and I always aim to be reliable, attentive, and consistent so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays throughout the week. I like to build my day around the pets I’m caring for - whether that’s making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need or setting aside time to play with cats and check in on them. Having that flexibility lets me give each pet consistent care without feeling rushed. In a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs out for walks or playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets are safe and cared for until their family is back.
About: I've been caring for animals of every kind since I was 10. I have over 25+ years experience working with animals as an animal behavioralist and dog trainer. I am also a Veterinary Technician (LVT). I am very passionate when it comes to dogs, any breed and size! I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often. Pet safety and trust is my number one goal! I would like to first get to know you and your dog or cat through a meet and greet. I would like to assure you peace of mind and for your pet to feel comfortable as well. Will make any accommodations needed! My schedule is flexible, so will be able to cater to your pets needs! I'm also available weekends and holidays for house sitting or drop in visits. (*Additional charges will apply for house sitting & drop in visits during holiday dates*) Even though I have my own spoiled fur baby, please note that he will not be accompanying me to your home. His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :) Please let me know your pet's schedule/needs. If they require scheduled medication or trips to the bathroom frequently. Also, how many hours that they can be left alone during a possible work day. I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)
“Olivia is a very kind soul. My Lucy girl so very nervous r around new people. And Olivia is patient and doesn’t mind Lucy is taking time to trust her. I appreciate olivia being so gentle and patient. She meets Lucy where Lucy is, and that’s important.”
About: From early on in life I have always been an animal lover. I was the one bringing home injured birds and stray dogs/cats when I was a kid. My mom was supportive of that passion and helped me help so many animals over the years. I have personally only adopted animals from rescues and my current dog is a rescue. I volunteer time to local rescues and bring supplies to local shelters. I care for neighbors animals and homes when they go out of town. I am always very nervous about new people around my animal and home, so I always make sure to treat clients like how I would want to be treated. I really enjoy giving people one less thing to worry about. I am openly available. Besides the occasional errand, I am always home, so nobody will be left home alone! We are up with the sun and stay up late! We are on 9 acres with river access, a quiet country road and plenty of places to lounge or run! It is not fenced in.

About: H! I handled more than 10+ animals every day. I have 4 dogs, 10 cats, and 8 horses. I have years of experience with puppies, small and large dogs. I have a decent amount of tips for training puppies and I love going on walks! I am a Michigan State University College student looking for a hobby to do in my free time. I am currently working roughly 30-40 a week but would like to do pet care on the weekends or in the mornings, nights and during my free time. With so many animals already being in my house, I would prefer to go to the client’s home. I have experience walking dogs, feeding both cats and dogs, and giving them enrichment activities.
“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

“Marty is first rate. She is definitely a Star Sitter. She was great in communication, sending me texts, photos and videos of Dexter. Clearly, she took good care of him, he was in good hands. Dexter made friends and spent time outside, which he loves. One of my concerns was that Dexter got his medications, and Marty made sure he did. Without doubt, she is my choice for Dexter's lodging and daycare. She has my highest recommendation.”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“I was nervous leaving my dogs for the first time. Holly was amazing! I got pictures and updates through the stay. I knew without a doubt that she was taking great care of my pups!”
“Victoria was the best! Her kiddos were adorable and clearly so gentle and good with the dogs. They got so much love while they were there! Plus the house + back yard setup was ideal for lots of playing and running. Victoria was super flexible and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely book again!”
“They were great! Loved getting picture updates and seeing my 3 dogs happy and playing with their 2. Great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick ups. I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and loved!”
“Laura is a wonderful sitter - very flexible and accommodating. My dogs had a great time with her and her kids. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and would 100% recommend to anyone.”
“I sent my Bailey girl for the first time today and I am so happy with how her day went! Kelly sent me updates and pictures and kept me informed throughout the day. Very pleased and we will be booking again! Thank you Kelly!”
“Our dog had a great time. He looked comfortable the moment we dropped him off. We received lots of communication and pictures throughout. They clearly are very enthusiastic and caring for the pets they look after. Will definitely use them again.”
“Leah was very friendly and easy to work with. It is clear she loves what she does and is fantastic with dogs. My Maggie felt comfortable staying with Leah and came back with a wag in her tail. I will definitely book with her again in the future and highly recommend.”
“I was very comfortable leaving Magoo with Stephanie. She was home with him which allowed him to run and play as he wished. She also sent us pics daily so we could see what he was doing. I’d highly recommend her for dog sitting, and I will be booking her again in the future.”
“Andrew and his wife always take great care of my dog. My dog is a covid pound puppy. He was born during covid and never properly socialized then dropped at the pound. He does not get along with other dogs at all and is very skittish with people. He runs right into Andrew's home like it's his own. I feel so much better knowing he's not terrified at a kennel but in a warm quiet home. Plus they send the cutest pics!”
“Very wonderful care! Our minds were put at ease after leaving Bailey ( this was our first time leaving Bailey with a sitter) we got many updates and pictures. We will definitely use this sitter again”
“Emily and Timothy took care of my dog like their own! They picked her up and dropped her off. They were so helpful when our flight was delayed and we needed an extra night. Overall, a wonderful experience!”
“Brittany was super sweet to our doggy. Always communicating with us, sending us photos, and keeping us updated. We are so grateful that Luca could stay with her, happy and safe while we were a part of a wedding this weekend. We are so happy and highly recommend her to take care of your pups.”
“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Amazing care for my Tito and highly recommend for any future care for your pets! She and her family made me and my family feel very comfortable and trusting for the safety and caring of our Tito in their home! I am very thankful! She will always be my go to for future stays!”
