“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Trina loves dogs, it's plain to see. My dog enjoys his overnight stay's over her home because he gets lots of love & gets to play with her dogs. I feel that he's happy while in her care & well taken care of! I'll definitely use her more when we go out of town. :)”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“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!”
“Maggie had a fantastic overnight stay with Nayoma. She really understands dogs and makes sure each one is comfortable in their environment and with each other. She was responsive and flexible with my pick-up/drop off which I greatly appreciated.”
“Jamie was flexible with drop off/pick up schedule and sent updates during stay. My anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her, thanks again for taking care of Clover!”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I used to have a small farm. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I work part time from home. I can bring your dog out at any time, for walks and I’m available for boarding anytime. Also kids to play with them. I have 3 friendly dogs, cats and kids so your furry babies will have company so they don’t get lonely. They will be loved and well cared for.
“This was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!”
“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
“Savannah is very easy to work with. She was very warm and welcoming to our pup and even provided pictures and updates! Our pup had a great time, would definitely recommend!”
“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”
“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my two cats!! Sge was on time and communicated with me daily while we were gone on a long cruise. I loved the videos she sent me all the details of what she was doing with my boys. And could see they absolutely loved her. It was the first time I ever had someone other than family watch my boys while I was gone. She made us feel very comfortable and respected our home from the initial meet and greet through the time we got home. I could tell from the videos and pictures she was sending that my boys really enjoyed her and were comfortable with her. I’m sure they miss their play and outside time with her. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
“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.”
“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”
“Avery took very good care of my cat. She spent a lot of quality time with her and was very communicative with how she was doing and if she had any questions etc.”
“Jaime was very accommodating, willing to meet and schedule drop-in visits at fairly short notice. She offered kind and caring attention to Luna for a full two weeks. Unfortunately mistook me for another client or person one time in a text, but otherwise did a great job. My cat was in good hands, and I'm truly grateful for Jaime's service.”
“Dominique was amazing! She was reliable and trustworthy. She did not require a lot of instruction and it was clear that she knew what she was doing. She showed up at the same time every day and spent time with our cat to make sure he was stimulated while we were gone. Highly recommend her services; I know we will be using her again!”
“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.”
“Gina did an amazing job with our 3 cats. It was wonderful to receive daily messages and photos with updates on our fuzzy buddies. She played with them every day and cared for them well 💕 Thank you, Gina!”
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.
“Our cats love having Madaline drop in on them while we're away! She changes the litterbox, gives them wet food, sits with them, and sends us updates after each visit. She's definitely our go-to cat sitter!”
“Cassie went above and beyond to make me feel guilt and anxiety-free during my vacation by giving the best care to my furry little boy. She sent tons of pictures, gave me detailed updates of how my kitty was doing during each check in, and gave him lots of love/pets. Cassie did a wonderful job and I'd recommend to anyone!”
“Vanessa was GREAT!! She went far and above our expectations. You would be hard pressed to find a better Rover. Abby loved her and Vanessa went out pf her way to make sure we knew what was happening with Abby at all times.”

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
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.”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.
“Heidi is super friendly and flexible. Her home was very close to downtown KZoo where we were staying. She took cute photos and a video of our dog while we were away. Also her price was very reasonable.”
“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.”
“We’ve sent our puppy for “daycare” to Melissa a handful of times now. We can tell she really loves working with dogs and Finn loves his days there. There’s usually at least one other dog for him to play with, plus lots of attention from the people, so he’s in heaven. He comes home happy and ready for a long nap. We love the updates she sends! At least 1-2 cute videos/pictures every day.”
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.

“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!”
“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 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: Since I was young, I have been a passionate animal lover. 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.
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: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!
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 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!
About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.
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!”

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'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!

We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. 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!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”
