“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”

“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”

She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!”

About: I adopted my kitty Grim in 2024, and he’s been my best friend ever since. I thought being a pet parent would be straightforward, but unfortunately, Grim has chronic urinary issues that have presented new challenges for us. Despite this, I’m well-versed in all aspects of cat care, including administering medications, providing love, and ensuring proper cleaning and care.
“Simply. The. Best. My kitty Mr. Smokie, who is not a fan of new people coming in to the apartment. warmed up to her really well! When I have to go out of town my biggest anxiety is always being away from my cat. But, with Kathleen and her post drop in visit reports, it would give me a great sense of relief Knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of.”
“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“Lynn was outstanding: she went above and beyond. She came over for a walk-through and my cats were fairly ill and I told her I might have to cancel my trip and take them to the vet (I could never leave them alone feeling like that). She was completely flexible and had no problem changing our schedule at the last moment when I did in fact cancel my trip. In the world of pet sitting, she is a rare find.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our three kitties! She did everything as expected and then some. She was easy to communicate with and would send us daily photos of them eating, playing, or rolling around. I plan on reaching out to Jessica in the future when we need someone to look after our kitties again.”
“Theresa took care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was happy to squeeze in a last minute visit due to a flight delay which I very much appreciated. Will book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and choosing Elizabeth was the perfect decision! She’s kind and easygoing while also being incredibly professional. She went above and beyond during her visit to make sure my cat had everything she needed—food, snacks, new fresh water, litter changes, and lots of snuggles and pets. I especially appreciated photos and the video she sent of my kitty. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future and highly recommend her business to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful pet care!”
“Dominique was wonderful. She was very reliable and treated our kitty with much love and care. Our kitty just adored her. She kept us updated each day she came to visit and sent us adorable pictures. We knew that he was in great hands!”
“Carly did a lovely job watching our cat! She followed all of our care instructions, brought in our mail, and even took our trash bin down to the curb on trash day. We were so blessed to have her help us out! ❤️”
“Avery was so wonderful to work with!!! She took such good care of our cat, going above and beyond to make sure that he was okay since he kept hiding! She was great at communicating so I was never wondering what was going on thanks to her updates! Will definitely be booking her next time we travel!”
“Cassie is truly the best. She knows how important our sweet pets are. She always takes such lovely care of my cats, and her care for them is palpable. I will ask Cassie to care for my cats when I’m out of town!”

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina
“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”
“Excellent day care service. Very good people, nice clean home and yard. Animals are very well cared for. Service providers went above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Daryl had a great visit with Natalie and loved playing with her dog. Natalie was accommodating, responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would book again!”
“My separation anxiety-prone husky was in wonderful hands with Heidi and her family. She sent me tons of photos of my baby snuggling on the couch, playing with her beagles, and getting snuggles from the kids. My pup went to her two days in a row and seemed totally content to be dropped off the next day. I couldn't ask for anything more!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day.
About: Dogs and cats have been part of my family my whole life! I have also been a dog sitter for over 10 years. A few years ago, my husband and I raised 6 puppies from birth until they went to their new homes at 10 weeks. We currently have three dogs: Ash (Siberian Husky), Koda (Australian Shepherd), and Hickory (Husky-Australian Shepherd mix) who we love to play with, take for walks, and run around in the backyard. I'm currently off for the summer so I have a lot of time at home. I will let the dogs out every 2-4 hours when away but they will be out roaming the house when I am home. Dogs are welcomed in all rooms and on beds and furniture in the home. I have a large fenced in yard and three dogs to keep your pup company. We live in a dog friendly community and near a nature preserve for long walks and hikes.
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
About: We love, love, love dogs! We have a home with a fenced yard and work from home so your pup will have lots of company for most of their stay. We also have two home dogs who are both very friendly and love having playmates. One is an elderly medium sized dog and has a hard time getting around and the other is a youngster who is only 8lbs. Therefore we prefer dogs on the smaller side (<40lbs) with no aggression issues with other dogs. Guest dogs are treated like family and are welcome throughout our home. Your dog will be well loved and cared for and treated like part of the pack. We look forward to hosting your pup. We work from home and will have plenty of time to interact with your pup. We also enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood and can keep you pup entertained easily. We have a fenced yard and treat all guest dogs as we treat our own. I have had dogs my entire life and enjoying taking care of them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Experienced all ages and kinds. I’m also experienced in cat care as well as kittens. I’ve raised livestock since age 10! I relish human connections, but I have a deep passion for connecting with animals. I am highly adaptable when it comes to caring for your furry companion. I have a cat who needs his own space. I live in a large house with multiple levels and rooms, and I’m more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate him. My cat takes medication daily, and I’m knowledgeable about animal behavior.
About: (if in need of a "constant care" visit, please mention that in your request so we can discuss that rate). Experience with puppies and senior dogs. It feels great making sure a pet is well-cared for and happy. I have a client who is gone quite often and care for her animals several times a month. During the work-week, I still offer to stop in on my brother's animals. I've prioritized leash training and am accustomed to going on many walks per day as well as providing tasks to keep dogs happy and healthy.
About: Your pets deserve the best and you shouldn't have to settle for anything less. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sorts, whether they be energetic, laid back, nervous and shy, or total goofballs. When my friends and family go out of town, I'm the person they call to watch their fur babies. I am reliable, loving, patient, thorough, and considerate of your home, expectations, and needs. I am currently working a part-time job that is 3 days a week, so I am looking to fill my time with walks, fetch, and cuddles! I am happy to comply with however you typically do things with your pets. I am experienced with dog training commands, crate training, and dog body language.
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was a child, and have been a dog owner for the last 19 years. I currently have 2 pugs, Goose and Frankie, 1 cat, Sadie -aka Murder Mittens-, and a leopard gecko named Dude. I have experience with facial care for smooshy-faced breeds, administering medication, and providing overall care for senior dogs. I am a freelancer who works from home, so I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most clients' needs. I do my best to accommodate your schedule. I am happy to feed, water, wash bowls, take for walks, clean litter boxes, brush, pet, play, clean faces, wipe paws, give medication, and whatever is needed and tolerated by your pet.
About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.
About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with care and respect like they’re my own. I’m flexible with my schedule and able to make time throughout the week for pet care, walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable about routines and communication, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behavior, and safety during walks or visits. I respect clients’ homes, keep things clean, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️
About: I have taken care of my family dog all my life and treat animals as part of the family. I can read their body language well and understand their needs. I am a full time student part time employee looking for extra cash and a way to hang out with animals. My schedule is not consistent and I would have to approve visits. I cannot take pets into my own home but I can visit. I will let them out site, make sure they have water and are fed, and spend time playing with them.
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”
“Ashley is amazing! My little Velcro dog loved her. She was ready to go every time Ashley arrived and she loved her walks with her! I’d book her again in a quick minute! If you want someone that’s good with dogs, Ashley is who you want to book.”
About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I grew up with dogs and know how to care for them. They will be in good hands! I currently have a cat who is very friendly! I am a grad student with night classes, so I'm home during most of the day. I have a part time job but it won't get in the way of caring for your pet! I have a spacious apartment that will house your pup nicely. My apartment also has a park area that would be perfect for walking and playing with dogs!
“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”
