“Marty was fantastic with my dog. She accommodated our need on short notice and treated our girl like her own. She sent me photos and videos through out the time I was away. Her home and yard are beautiful. The fenced area was very impressive! I will definitely trust Marty with my dog in the future.”
“I am very pleased with the quality of care that was provided to my two pups. She has a very nice set up there to care for the dogs. And I believe truly that they were cared for with the upmost attention.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Shannon and her husband were wonderful! From the meet and greet to pickup, they were personable, caring, and trusting. They sent several pictures throughout the day so I felt very confident my pup was well taken cared for. My dog acted like he was at home from the second he entered their house - great sign and good vibes! I would recommend and book their services 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!”
“Kellie and Paige were great with my Nora girl. Even with their schedules, other dogs, and life she got special attention. That included sitting next to Nora while she ate for reassurance. She was definitely treated like she was their own. Nora will be back!”
“Victoria has a clean house and a great yard for a dog . Her family is sweet and communication was excellent. The meet and greet went well and we finalized our booking and she sent pictures every day that made me feel reassured. She was attentive to all his needs and our needs and even picked him up and dropped him off. I would definitely use her services again. I have used Rover about four times in this was easily our best experience.”
“Oh my gosh, I couldn't list all the positives of Kelly and husband Eric. As a first timer, in my 45 years, they made this situation stress-free and allowed me to be able to focus on the reason why I needed a sitter in the 1st place. The love in my Queenie eyes through the picture updates show the bond and love Delevoped between them. Plus, I was nervous about leaving her at a crucial training period in her puppy stage, but Kelly's knowledge had Queenie's training still on track and her behavior was even better than before.”
“This was Stretch's second stay with Tracey and it went great! She went above and beyond to help him up/down the stairs with his ramp. Her special care was much appreciated and I recommend her to anyone looking”
“Andrew and his wife were wonderful. He sent me text messages and pictures while boarding my dog. Boarding one dog at a time made him my first choice, as my dog is very quiet and enjoys being alone.”
“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.”
“Diane is amazing. Constant pictures and action shots with relevant captions. Lexi will absolutely miss them and I can always look forward to any vacation without worrying about who is taking care of her. 10/10 Gracias!”

While our yard isn’t fully fenced, I do have a secure, gated outdoor area where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs under my supervision. With my nursing background, I’m comfortable providing both oral and injectable medications, and I take pride in making sure every pet’s health and safety come first.

“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!!”

“I had a great experience with Sara as my new pet sitter! She was quick to respond to messages and kept me updated throughout her visits, which gave me real peace of mind.

I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Molly is the ONLY person I’ll ever consider when having to leave my dogs home while I travel! She was FANTASTIC with my dogs and they ADORE HER!

My dogs were so well cared for that they really weren’t overly excited to see me when I returned! Thank you, Molly, for the outstanding care and attention you gave to my dogs!!!”
About: I’ve had multiple cats all my life. I bring to the table 30+ years of cat experience. I have experience from taking care of them from birth and bottle fed to senior cat care. I’m a pro at keeping the litter box clean and the cats purring and kneading happy kitty biscuits.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and was fortunate to grow up learning from my father, an experienced police K-9 trainer and handler. That lifelong experience gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and the confidence to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I have experience with crate training, potty training, leash training, introducing dogs to children and other animals, and managing food and toy resource guarding. My goal is to provide every dog with a safe, structured, and loving environment where they feel right at home. I offer in-home boarding for up to three (occasionally four) dogs at a time, allowing me to provide personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because I’m home throughout the day, puppies benefit from frequent potty breaks and routine reinforcement, while senior dogs receive the extra patience and care they deserve. I also offer drop-in visits for all types of pets and flexible pick-up and drop-off services for an additional $30 each way. For boarding stays longer than three days, I may request a four-hour daycare trial to help ensure we’re a great fit. Proof of current vaccinations is required for all boarding guests. Every day is designed to be calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet’s needs. We spend time playing, enjoying supervised outdoor time, and incorporating enrichment throughout the day while balancing exercise with plenty of rest. I do my best to maintain your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. We live on a fully fenced one-acre property where dogs have plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Because our yard is surrounded by trees and natural foliage, I require boarding dogs to be on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventative. Whether your pet is boarding or I’m visiting them in your home, I’ll care for them as if they were my own by following their routine, respecting their individual personality, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort level. I also believe it’s important to teach my children to respect animals and their boundaries. Together, we’ve created a calm, gentle home where pets are treated with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
About: At age 14 I worked as a cat room cleaner for Paws. I took pride in my ability to make the room smell good and be a safe and healthy environment for numerous cats. I cared for all sorts of cats with different allergies and preferences. Since then I have house sat for numerous families overnight with their cats and just a pop in here and there. I value my babies just as much as I will value yours!
“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our fur babies while we were away! She was able to book on short notice, which was very much appreciated. She spent so much time with our kitties, which I’m sure they loved! I got the cutest photos and Sarah kept me updated with each visit. I’m very pleased and would book with her again! :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gaines
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: 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.

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.

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: 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 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!

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.
About: I am a 24 year old woman seeking to support myself by pursuing my passion for caring for animals. Growing up, I naturally took care of many pets and enjoyed ensuring their happiness and well-being. I have previously worked with clients on an informal basis, handling pet care as favors or small jobs, so I have some experience in the field. While I am new to this platform, I am committed to providing high quality service to all of my clients and to making this a positive and meaningful experience. Please give me the opportunity to care for your pet and I promise they will be safe and well looked after! 💖✨ - - - Services I offer: • House sitting (My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.) • Dog walking (30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day.) • Drop-ins (30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away.) I am available throughout the week, except for Saturdays. I am a flexible professional who is happy to work with you to ensure your beloved pet receives exactly what is needed. I believe that safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for the client are some of the most important aspects of responsible caregiving. When it comes to safety, I ensure that I carefully listen to all instructions and information provided to thoroughly prioritize your pet's well-being. Regarding trust and environment, I arrange meet and greets prior to bookings or scheduled dates with new clients to help your beloved pet become familiar with me and build trust naturally, reducing stress and fear when the time comes. I also stay within settings where your pet feels most comfortable, or I may take them to a nearby park to give your pet a chance to explore and enjoy. Ultimately, it’s all based on your preferences. 💖

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with pets and currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I love pet sitting, dog walking, and spending quality time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to make them feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I know pets are family, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule for the summer and am available through the end of August. Since I’m home for the summer, I’m able to provide reliable care, flexible scheduling, walks, drop-ins, and lots of attention for your pets throughout the day. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a trustworthy and caring environment where pets get plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make safety a priority during walks, visits, and playtime.
“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 was fantastic with my dog. She accommodated our need on short notice and treated our girl like her own. She sent me photos and videos through out the time I was away. Her home and yard are beautiful. The fenced area was very impressive! I will definitely trust Marty with my dog in the future.”
“I am very pleased with the quality of care that was provided to my two pups. She has a very nice set up there to care for the dogs. And I believe truly that they were cared for with the upmost attention.”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“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!”
“Kellie and Paige were great with my Nora girl. Even with their schedules, other dogs, and life she got special attention. That included sitting next to Nora while she ate for reassurance. She was definitely treated like she was their own. Nora will be back!”
“Victoria has a clean house and a great yard for a dog . Her family is sweet and communication was excellent. The meet and greet went well and we finalized our booking and she sent pictures every day that made me feel reassured. She was attentive to all his needs and our needs and even picked him up and dropped him off. I would definitely use her services again. I have used Rover about four times in this was easily our best experience.”
“Oh my gosh, I couldn't list all the positives of Kelly and husband Eric. As a first timer, in my 45 years, they made this situation stress-free and allowed me to be able to focus on the reason why I needed a sitter in the 1st place. The love in my Queenie eyes through the picture updates show the bond and love Delevoped between them. Plus, I was nervous about leaving her at a crucial training period in her puppy stage, but Kelly's knowledge had Queenie's training still on track and her behavior was even better than before.”
“Andrew and his wife were wonderful. He sent me text messages and pictures while boarding my dog. Boarding one dog at a time made him my first choice, as my dog is very quiet and enjoys being alone.”
“Diane is amazing. Constant pictures and action shots with relevant captions. Lexi will absolutely miss them and I can always look forward to any vacation without worrying about who is taking care of her. 10/10 Gracias!”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Our dog Ruby loved Holly and her home! Ruby can feel a little scared around new people and Holly made her feel right at home. My family loved all the pictures and updates. We will be use her again!”
“Dexter always has a great time with Mandy and her family! He gets lots of love and hangs right with them. Mandy has always been helpful when we needed anything!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I have left my pup with Jolynn & Jason a handful of times and have always had a great experience! My pup always has fun playing in the yard and with the other dogs, and always comes home tired out from playing and having fun :) Jolynn is always quick to communicate and provides regular updates on how things are going. A great experience overall!”
“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our young golden doodle! She sent updates with pics throughout his stay and is a very responsive communicator. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
