“Toni was an excellent caregiver for Winston! She took him for walks daily, and I think he was just as sad to have to go as he was to see me when I picked him up. Will board with Toni again.”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”

“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!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your dogs, do not look any further. Tristan is AMAZING! The best I’ve ever found to take care of my pups. I was nervous finding someone new because I have an anxious pitbull and a mini dachshund, he is great with all dogs. He treats your pets as if they were his own. He took my dog for lots of long walks, played with them and even went to pick up food for me when they ran out. He’s so great that I want to gatekeep my review so my pups will always have a spot on his schedule! Thank you Tristan for all that you do!”

If we’re ever in need again I’ll for sure be looking Andrew up again. Thank you!”
“Jessica & Matt are amazing! They updated me everyday with photos and how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thank you again, to both of you for taking such good care of Charlie, I never worried once while I was gone, knowing he was in your care😊”

Our dogs received lots of exercise in her huge yard and socialization with other dogs boarding there. Stephanie had no problem giving our older dog her medication. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with Stephanie and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“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!”

“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: 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.
About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
“I left Archie with Marty for the day, he had a great time! I received excellent communication and felt comfortable leaving Archie. I will definately be contacting Marty for Archie again.”
“Joni is awesome!!! Her setup is a like a dog's resort. She greeted us, showed us how my pup could run around freely inside and out. The topper, my dog loves to swim and she had a setup with the doggie stairs. She even sent me a video :). It was great to relax knowing my baby was in good hands!”
“Leah is very kind and responsive. Our dog enjoys going over and running around the big fenced in yard and playing with her dog Rosco. Leah sends picture updates and keeps you updated. Definitely recommend and will keep using ourselves!”
“I’m so glad I found Beth! Her house is perfectly suited for hosting dog guests. Her large back yard is securely fenced and her own two dogs are friendly and playful. She is extremely conscientious and I felt very comfortable entrusting my little Chihuahua to her.”
About: I can provide care for complex needs animals, small animals and giant animals. I can administer medication even to animals who might not be enthusiastic about it or any other medical needs. I am currently only doing college classes and rover so I have open availability to care for your family members and all the love to give them I have a 4 foot tall fully fenced in half acre yard with a Bernese mountain dog puppy who can keep your babies company along with two dog friendly cats
“Tristan is great with my dog and always patient when I’m a little late dropping off or picking up. (So being patient with me might be more of a challenge than being patient with my puppy). I highly recommend him for daycare or overnight. While I already had an obedience trainer before bringing my dog for daycare, I can tell that he’d be a really good trainer, too.”
“I know Fred loved it there and loved Ziggy. Taking him home he had no stress. He had a wonderful time, and wanted to go back today. I had to look at pout face today! Thank you for taking good care of him! We will be back.. Julie Richards”
About: I am looking to find dog owners with high energy dogs. The huskies, labs, healers etc that need to put in miles every day to stay happy. I can show up for my listed dog walking rate ($10) and can then run anywhere from 2-20 miles with them for an additional $15/mile. Message me if this is something you would be interested in!! I work in outside sales from home 4 days a week, the the other 3 I am on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I have 2 friendly dogs and am very energetic, I run/walk multiple times a day and spend most my time outside. Very patient with dogs and can help leash train.
“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: I’ve had cats my whole life and have been taken care of dogs for 2. I have a husky at home and a yorkie. Also have a cat and bearded dragon! I’m currently a graduate student working from home. That means I have a lot of flexibility and time to fill! Taking care of your pet will mean the world to me! I have a fenced yard so they have plenty of space to run around. I have a husky that is about 6 years old, a 2 year old Yorkie, and a 3 year old cat that roam around the house. Although it will be very easy to keep them separate if needed!h
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, 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 for any boarding 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 dog lead* **DROP OFFS/PICK UP- Please do not show up early without talking to us prior, If you are going to be late, please let us know asap, we operate around your guys times selected and schedule other bookings/meet n greets around drop offs and pick up ***

“Sheila is an amazing person and caregiver! Today was our dog’s first day with her, and our doggo was loved and very well taken care of. Thank you, Sheila!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with two dogs as a child and have had many different-sized animals since. Im currently laid off work while recovering from a shoulder surgery so I have open availability and my shoulder is healed so I have no restrictions on walks or animal size I own a fenced-in lot next to my house for outside time. I have one super friendly dog who loves it out there and a room with a door so I don't have to use a crate inside.

Currently, I have a cat that I have raised from birth.

For the past two summers, I have cared for my uncle's 12 year-old chocolate lab when their family is on vacation. She is a senior dog that needs a little more care and consideration. I am a recent high school graduate and my summer is open. I am attending Mott Community College in the fall, so I am also not going away to school.

“Toni was an excellent caregiver for Winston! She took him for walks daily, and I think he was just as sad to have to go as he was to see me when I picked him up. Will board with Toni again.”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Victoria did an absolutely amazing job watching our young puppy. She sent the best updates that kept us reassured he was having a wonderful time. She clearly loves dogs and cares about taking great care of them, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I already have another booking with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“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!”
“If you are looking for someone to watch your dogs, do not look any further. Tristan is AMAZING! The best I’ve ever found to take care of my pups. I was nervous finding someone new because I have an anxious pitbull and a mini dachshund, he is great with all dogs. He treats your pets as if they were his own. He took my dog for lots of long walks, played with them and even went to pick up food for me when they ran out. He’s so great that I want to gatekeep my review so my pups will always have a spot on his schedule! Thank you Tristan for all that you do!”
“Laura is awesome. I received pictures daily of m dog while we were gone on vacation. She walked him daily which I know he loved. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Laura!!!”
“Andrew and his partner were absolutely fantastic for our cat. We were in a situation where we needed our cat of our home for some renovations and they kept us updated with how we was doing all day and with some lovely pictures. If we’re ever in need again I’ll for sure be looking Andrew up again. Thank you!”
“Jessica & Matt are amazing! They updated me everyday with photos and how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thank you again, to both of you for taking such good care of Charlie, I never worried once while I was gone, knowing he was in your care😊”
“Chloe had a nice, safe stay and a great time without any issues. She loved the backyard and sunning on the deck! Communication from Leah was good- a few pictures and at least one update per day. I’d definitely recommend Leah’s services.”
“This couple was fantastic! They sent regular photos and updates on our boys. They had took our 2 pitbull boxers for the weekend and handled them so well. My husband and I would absolutely hire them again for our pet needs!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time boarding with Stephanie. They spent a week at her home. Stephanie was wonderful, she sent me photos and fun updates daily. Our dogs received lots of exercise in her huge yard and socialization with other dogs boarding there. Stephanie had no problem giving our older dog her medication. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with Stephanie and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”

About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
