“First time booking with Angela and it won’t be our last! She was incredibly kind and considerate when taking on Wade. The meet & greet went great and the stay was even better. It’s clear she cares about animals and their needs. Wade had a great time! Great communication throughout his stay and very accommodating! Highly recommend.”
“Nia was an excellent sitter for Merlin! She was kind, patient (he had an unexpected accident in her home), and attentive to his high energy need for outside play time in her huge yard. She sent me pictures, assuring me of his adjustment and fun. Because it was a quick booking, I appreciated her willingness to take him after our video conferencing. I highly recommend her for other furbabies’ care and will be reaching out again for future boarding services! Thank you!”
“When I say my FurBaby was well cared for- he was!! They took exceptional care of Hendrixx. They sent numerous videos everyday- which I loved and appreciated. I highly recommend Mou and Yanling. I definitely will be using them for all of my boarding and sitting needs for Hendrixx.”
“Steven is a great guy. He took good care of my shy Pit Bull. He also sent me pics and kept me informed of his well being during my dogs stay. Tuxedo was well taken care of!!”
“I’m very comfortable leaving my two dogs with Tracey with her knowledge of dogs and dog behavior. She’s super nice and my dogs really like her! I will book her again!”
“Dawn had our dog over Thanksgiving week. We got lots of updates and photos of our dog throughout the week. Dawn was very quick to respond and we would not hesitate to have her family dog sit for us again.”
About: I've taken care of doggies for over 30 years! I've cared for family members pets as well as my own! I've administered meds, given baths, and provided dog sitting services for relatives doggie vacations. I'm currently working a hybrid schedule and have tons of time to devote to your furry friend! I look forward to playing with your pet, going for walks, or hanging in the yard! I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly doggo to keep your pup company! I will engage your pets with play time, walks, and lots of attention!
About: A dear friend once said, “Some animals are cooler than most people,” and I could not agree more. I am the person at the party sitting on the floor, covered in dog hair, getting to know your pup. I have raised dogs my whole life and have a dog of my own. We love long walks, car rides, and fun adventures. I am reliable, responsive, and will treat your dog like one of my own so you can relax knowing they are in great hands. Dogs genuinely make life more fun and interesting, and I love building them into my everyday routine. I work from home, have a dog of my own, and my days naturally include walks, fresh air, play breaks, and lots of attention for the pups in my care. Your dog will not be stuck waiting around. They will get real companionship, movement, and love throughout the day. I am reliable, responsive, and thoughtful about each dog’s needs, and I treat every pup like they are part of my own little pack. Here’s a short, clean, trustworthy version you can use: I provide calm, attentive, and safety focused care tailored to each dog. I work from home, so dogs get frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I follow your routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, and I can accommodate crate trained dogs if needed. I am reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates so you always know your pup is in good hands.
“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“We were very pleased with Breanna. She took excellent care of our doggie. She replied quickly each time we reached out and sent pictures daily. Drop off and pick up were smooth. We are about to book our next two out of town events with her now.”
“Samantha and Zachary are fantastic sitters! My dog Stella had a great time and made two new friends in Krypto and Bailey. Provided daily photos and videos of Stella during her stay and they were always quick to respond to all my messages. Would highly recommend!”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“From the moment we first arrived for the meet and greet, Lisa and Jack welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. They brought Bailey, our dog into their home for our two week vacation and did a spectacular job of taking care of her. Bailey was treated like she was one of their own. We received updates on how Bailey was doing while we were gone. Lisa and Jack did a spectacular job taking care of Bailey and we definitely will use their services again! Bailey came home so very happy! Lisa and Jack get FIVE STARS hands down!”
“Latara & her Family are a dream for my Fur Baby, I have no worries or concerns when she’s in their care, because they treat her like their own. Always accommodating & Latara keeps you updated daily & sends the most adorable pics/ photos of how the fur baby {s} are doing. God bless her & her Family, you just couldn’t ask for any better❤️ 5*****”
“Paris was amazing with my dog. Great with communication & responds quickly. Took him on more walks that I take him on admittedly. 😅 She made my first time using Rover so easy. 10/10 - will be rebooking. ☺️”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“Katherine was amazing! She sent me constant updates regarding Creed which really put me at ease. I could truly tell that he enjoyed the time he spent with her. She even went the extra mile to buy Creed a toy as I had forgot to include them in his bag. Thank you so much Katherine! You’re amazing.”

“Joshua took great care of our 3 kitties while we were out of town. He took the time to come over ahead of time to meet our guys and learn their feeding routine and it was fun and reassuring to get daily photos and updates!”
“Second time Meghan has watched Luna and will book with her again if she’s free! Great communication, great with Luna, and I know Luna will be taken care of with Meghan. Definitely recommend Meghan!”

About: Hi, I’m Megan — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet care provider based in beautiful East English Village. I live with my two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other calm, respectful pups. I provide a personalized, low-volume boarding experience from my home, where your dog becomes part of our little pack. My services are designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. I only board one guest dog at a time, ensuring constant supervision, individual attention, and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, a walk while you’re at work, or overnight care, I treat every animal like one of my own — with affection, patience, and professional care. I provide updates with every visit, and I’m happy to accommodate custom routines, feeding schedules, and medication administration when needed. Let’s schedule a free meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life — I structure my routine around it. With two dogs of my own, I’m already up early for walks, feeding, and snuggles. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit my boarding and walking services to just a few clients at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full focus without being overbooked or rushed. Whether I’m doing a drop-in visit, hosting a pup overnight, or stopping by for a midday walk, I plan my calendar so your pet gets reliable, unrushed, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in yours. BOARDING AT MY HOME: When boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment by only accepting one guest dog at a time. This allows me to give each pet plenty of individual attention and supervision throughout the day. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to having guests and do best with other well-mannered pups. I take time to carefully introduce everyone, and I require a meet-and-greet prior to first-time bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up with cozy resting areas, a large and securely fenced outdoor space, and plenty of enrichment opportunities like walks, playtime, and snuggles. I also follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible to make their stay feel familiar and reassuring. FOR DROP INS I aim to maintain your pet’s routine in their own environment, minimizing disruption and providing consistent care. I refresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and always leave your home secure and tidy. I also provide visit updates with photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Building trust through consistent, compassionate care is what I do best. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, they’ll be treated like family.
“Hannah is a certified Angel. Her patience, kindness, and devotion to my Eddie went far beyond my expectations. Miraculously, she had a cat who is afraid of everyone snuggling up to her in no time at all. I greatly appreciated her photos and communication, having never been away from Eddie even for a night since rescuing him a year ago. So grateful!”
“My very shy cats warmed up to Chetoya very quickly! She was consistent, thorough and thoughtful in her care. I appreciated her daily photos and check-ins with my two floofs. She always responded immediately if I had questions. Thank you, Chetoya!??”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben was timely, communicative and respectful. My 2 dogs can be a little raucous with short visits and he seemed to handle it with ease. Great price too! I will use him any and every time I can. A+”
“My cat Sam is a big boy. Biiiiig boy. And because of that, when he’s frightened and unsure of people, they call him unfriendly! The truth is, when he’s like that, it’s because he’s in a strange place (the vet), being touched by strange people, in ways he doesn’t like. I’d be mean, too! Sam is very loving and has a big heart. I took in two feral kittens and he played momma cat to them. He made sure they ate, taught them to use the litter, and played with and socialized them. He was their protector. I was nervous about how he would react to a stranger, but he fell in love with her at first sight. She took such good care of my 23 yr old kitty and her many heath issues and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was very responsive and attentive. I plan to use her every time I head out of town.”
“Jenny was great! Very responsive, always arrived at the agreed time, brought in my mail, understood my complicated alarm system, and took great care of my cats for me. I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old!

“Tracey was kind enough to take Jordy for the day on short notice. She really helped me out. Jordy came home happy, and a happy Jordy is a happy Brennan. I will definitely give Tracey a call next time I need a sitter in the future”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and fostered dogs. I am widely available in the summer and after noons in the school year. Kind, mature, dog lover available to walk you dog or just stop in and give them some love? I have lots of availability in the summer and would love to relieve the stress that can come with leaving our doggies at home. I am happy to walk your dog, check in/let them out or just give them some attention. Lots of afternoon/evenings in the school year. I am not offering boarding at this time. I can stop by check in and walk your dog, following all of your directions. I know some of the stress of leaving our pups at home is finding someone we trust to care for them when we are not there. We just want to know they are all good!

“My little guy has had severe separation anxiety since the death of my husband, and it's been very hard to leave him without him having a difficult time. But tonight he spent an evening with Martina and was perfectly fine! When I picked him up, he was happy and calm. Martina is such a blessing and answer to prayer! I will definitely use her again as well as highly recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, a rabbit and even a guinea pig growing up. I’m in love with all animals and they all just look for someone to genuinely love and take care of them. That person is me, and during our time together me and your four legged family member will become new Best friends, giving your pet the best love and care I can efficiently and effectively. I’ve trained cats how to sit in my pass and to get them to come on call which I find harder for cats than dogs but I’ve accomplished that. I’m patient and overall fun, animals can sense that and you will too! Your pets will love me and I will love them much more. Hope to see you soon! (Thank you if you consider me! Please try to book 2 days before boarding date.) This job is literally the most convenient for me, since the pandemic I’ve had plenty of time to spend at home and connect with so many fur babies. I have all of the time in the world to learn what your dog loves to do the most. I have a fenced yard, and your fur baby will love burning off a lot of energy here. I have a puppy of my own so a lot of things I already have for your fur baby here. I feed them 2-3 times a day if not specified a feeding schedule, I train all of the dogs I frequently get to have bathroom breaks outdoors as well if not trained to do so.
About: My name is Lemuel and I have been taking care of pets all my life! I have a natural ability to become friends with any pet I come into contact with. I follow clear and straightforward instructions and make sure to stay in contact in case of any questions or concerns. Overall, I don’t just watch pets, I care for them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As long as I am home from school which is usually holidays or the summer, I am available most of the week outside of any plans I may have. I have a fenced and spacious backyard and a clean and pet friendly household free of kids and safety hazards ensuring a safe environment for any pet!
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My house is prepped for most kinds of dogs, including a doggy door to a fenced-in backyard. I am self-employed and work mostly from home, so I'm nearly always surrounded by the animals. I feed them breakfast in the morning, dinner in the evening. They have doggy door access to the backyard I give them pets when they walk up to me while I'm working, and I make time to play with them often. I make sure that their water bowls are always filled and clean, that they get their meals on time, and that they get plenty of attention. I also take pictures to share with the clients.

“Megan is extremely nice and welcoming and provides great care. My dog is always super excited to visit her place! Due to my dogs anxious nature, she often leaves new places stressed.

About: I am a loving, kind person. If I could I would save the entire pet kingdom. Some people say I am a dog whisperer. I’ve been taking care of my furry friends since I was a little girl. Your pet will be treated as if it was mine. I will make sure to provide the best care and protect your baby the best possible way. I am a proud owner of a Mini Aussie - Koda and a Black Cat - Joe. Few years ago I said goodbye to my best trio ever. They were all senior doggies. First I’ve lost Koko (17 years old Maltipoo), second heartbreak was 13 years old Pitbull - Woofy, third 15 years old Chihuahua - Choochoo ! All were the most important furry babies ever! I will always carry this horrible hole in my heart after the BIG loss. I’ve decided to join Rover to fulfill my purpose of helping others with their loved ones as best as I can, so we both know they are in good hands while you are busy with your obligations. I am here for you and for them. I understand how important our four legged friends are, and I will make sure we are all happy at the end of the busy day. We can go for long walks, we can stay home, we can relax or play! Whatever it takes for you and your pet to be comfortable and completely satisfied. I am here to help! I have plenty of time since I’ve moved back to Michigan and looking for a job. I know I would be happy to do something I love, which is taking care of your furry friend (s). I have a fenced large backyard. I have a cat and a dog. They are both extremely friendly. If needed they can be separated from a pet I do take care of.

I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I have a fenced in yard and lots of sidewalks and parks to visit locally. All pets need the same thing love, space to run, and food. I can provide that anywhere.

About: Hi! I’m Paris — a substitute teacher, lifelong pet lover, and proud cat mom of two playful kittens, Lilith & Zephyr 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for as if they’re my own. Whether it’s a dog who loves long walks, a cat who just wants cuddles, or a nervous pet who needs extra patience, I tailor care to each animal’s personality and comfort level. My clients describe me as attentive, communicative, and trustworthy — I provide photo updates, detailed messages, and genuinely enjoy spending time with every pet I meet. You’ll never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you’re away! 💼 My Schedule As a substitute teacher, I create my own schedule — which means I can adjust my availability for pet care. I typically work 4–8 hour school shifts with breaks that allow me to check in, walk, or drop in on pets during the day. Need round-the-clock or overnight care? I can absolutely provide that — I just ask for notice in advance, as 24-hour care may require adjusted pricing 💰 Rates & Expectations Rover’s listed prices reflect my base rates for standard care. Rates may adjust slightly depending on: • The number of pets • Travel distance • After-hours or weekend bookings • Medication or special-needs care • Holiday or extended-stay requests All rates are before Rover’s 20% platform fee. My goal is to ensure top-tier, stress-free care that’s priced fairly for both of us. 💬 Why Choose Me I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets. My goal is to create peace of mind while making sure your pets are loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Each booking is personalized — whether that means an extra bedtime cuddle, a longer evening walk, or slow introductions for shy pets. ❤️ Let’s Connect If you’re looking for reliable, flexible, and genuine care, I’d love to chat! Send me a message with your pet’s routine, quirks, or favorite toys — I’m happy to customize care around their needs. I work as a substitute teacher and I make my own schedule. As long as I have at least 2-3 days before a booking I can switch things around to be with your pet. I typically work 4-8 hours and have small breaks where I can leave the school and check in with pets twice a day while I am working. If they need round the clock care, I can make that happen but as it interferes with my day job that would require further conversation as far as pricing. I play with animals, I’ll walk them, bathe them, give them medication if needed. I treat every pet I’m lucky enough to have placed in my care as my own. Anything you need or want for me to do for your four legged family member I would be more than happy to accommodate!

Inclement weather doesn't matter if your pet doesn't mind it. I'm already an experienced and trusted house sitter, plus dog and cat sitter (and can care for houseplants & yards too). I'll respect your privacy and care for your home & pets like I would my own. I'll provide updates and photos to put you at ease. I truly understand that your pets are your children.

I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through house visits and dog walking, so your pet is in good hands. I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own. I work in tech so I'm home frequently, meaning your pet won't be left alone for long. I live in a house with a good sized backyard, perfect for dogs to roam, play, and get fresh air When hosting pets in my home, I make sure they have plenty of space and feel comfortable. I live in a house with a closed off backyard, so there is always a safe space to play and get fresh air, plus open space nearby in a quiet, safe neighborhood for walks. They are never cooped up and I am home frequently so they get consistent attention throughout the day. When doing house visits or drop ins, I stick to the pet's routine as much as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter, and make sure they have everything they need. I always keep the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Heather was awesome! Rocket was super excited to meet her during the first visit and I knew it will be smooth sailing the rest of the way. Great pictures and videos during walks, good communication to let me know how everything went and very quick to respond. Will recommend Heather to anyone that needs their pet walked or watched for a period of time. Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and fostered dogs. I am widely available in the summer and after noons in the school year. Kind, mature, dog lover available to walk you dog or just stop in and give them some love? I have lots of availability in the summer and would love to relieve the stress that can come with leaving our doggies at home.

My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.

“First time booking with Angela and it won’t be our last! She was incredibly kind and considerate when taking on Wade. The meet & greet went great and the stay was even better. It’s clear she cares about animals and their needs. Wade had a great time! Great communication throughout his stay and very accommodating! Highly recommend.”
“Nia was an excellent sitter for Merlin! She was kind, patient (he had an unexpected accident in her home), and attentive to his high energy need for outside play time in her huge yard. She sent me pictures, assuring me of his adjustment and fun. Because it was a quick booking, I appreciated her willingness to take him after our video conferencing. I highly recommend her for other furbabies’ care and will be reaching out again for future boarding services! Thank you!”
“Steven is a great guy. He took good care of my shy Pit Bull. He also sent me pics and kept me informed of his well being during my dogs stay. Tuxedo was well taken care of!!”
“I’m very comfortable leaving my two dogs with Tracey with her knowledge of dogs and dog behavior. She’s super nice and my dogs really like her! I will book her again!”
“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“We were very pleased with Breanna. She took excellent care of our doggie. She replied quickly each time we reached out and sent pictures daily. Drop off and pick up were smooth. We are about to book our next two out of town events with her now.”
“Samantha and Zachary are fantastic sitters! My dog Stella had a great time and made two new friends in Krypto and Bailey. Provided daily photos and videos of Stella during her stay and they were always quick to respond to all my messages. Would highly recommend!”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“From the moment we first arrived for the meet and greet, Lisa and Jack welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. They brought Bailey, our dog into their home for our two week vacation and did a spectacular job of taking care of her. Bailey was treated like she was one of their own. We received updates on how Bailey was doing while we were gone. Lisa and Jack did a spectacular job taking care of Bailey and we definitely will use their services again! Bailey came home so very happy! Lisa and Jack get FIVE STARS hands down!”
“Latara & her Family are a dream for my Fur Baby, I have no worries or concerns when she’s in their care, because they treat her like their own. Always accommodating & Latara keeps you updated daily & sends the most adorable pics/ photos of how the fur baby {s} are doing. God bless her & her Family, you just couldn’t ask for any better❤️ 5*****”

“Katherine was amazing! She sent me constant updates regarding Creed which really put me at ease. I could truly tell that he enjoyed the time he spent with her. She even went the extra mile to buy Creed a toy as I had forgot to include them in his bag. Thank you so much Katherine! You’re amazing.”
“Megan has watched my pup several times and is great and reliable. My dog clearly has fun and loves it there as she's always excited as we pull up and can't wait to get inside the house!”
“Jessica was fantastic. Our little girl Yogi stayed for a few days. It was tough leaving her, but Jessica made it easy for us. Jessica was friendly and communicative. Jessica made Yogi feel comfortable and like part of the pack. We got daily photos and/or videos and you could tell Yogi was happy and having fun. Jessica gave us a peace of mind and we are honestly so thankful to have found her. 100000000% recommend Jessica to all "pet parents." Thank you, Jessica and fur babies!”
