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!

Jenai and Sean always take excellent care of our dog. This is the second time we have had them care for our Gully and this time for 2 nights. They send photos and give updates during the stay. Thank you so much for watching Gully again! It feels so good to be able to get to have a fun weekend once in awhile and know he is being well cared for and having a fun weekend too. 🙏🏼🥰🐶

Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!

It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!

I can’t recommend Kathy enough! She hosted my dog (Maple) for two nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kathy is very experienced, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs! Her home is so welcoming and my Maple had a wonderful time going for nature walks and sunbathing in the yard. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup in the Portage area, I highly recommend contacting Kathy.

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.

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.

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!

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.

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

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do work and have a dog of my own. But other then work and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.

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 have grown up surrounded by animals. I started taking care of pets on my own at the age of seven, and I’ve loved doing it ever since. I currently have two rescues of my own, and have experience in senior care. I currently work from home and have an open schedule. I have availability for a fixed schedule or just whenever you need the extra help. I know how important routine is in a pets life, whatever directions are given will be followed. And they will get plenty of cuddles and playtime.

About: I’ve always loved petting and taking care of the neighbors strays in my younger years until I was finally able to convince my family to get one! Now that I have my own place I thought why not get paid while doing what I love? If you want to ensure all of your best friend needs are met then you’re looking at the right guy for the job! I’m an independent contractor so my schedule is pretty flexible and I will be able to give your best friend(s) the care that you know that deserve while you’re busy! I have a grass area for dogs here at my apartment complex, I don’t have any kids or any other pets so you don’t need to worry about that! I am also available to come to you!

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: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.

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 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've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

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 volunteer at a local animal shelter and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable working with young animals, fresh litters of puppies, pregnant dogs, senior pets, and everything in between. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently giving softball lessons, but because it is a self made schedule, I have plenty of availability to check in on your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I prioritize safety, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

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: (if in need of a "constant care" visit, please mention that in your request so we can discuss that rate). From childhood, I have always been responsible for animals - caretaking both family pets, and those of friends. I officially began taking clients two years ago. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. Nothing compares to the feeling of making sure a pet is well-cared for and happy. I've always been a friend people turn to for taking care of their animals while they're away. 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 two dogs. Animals are a priority in my life! I've prioritized my leash training skills and am very accustomed to going on many walks per day as well as providing tasks to keep dogs happy and healthy.

About: I am a lover of all animals. My experience with exotic reptiles, cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds would make ome a qualified choice. My background in kennel boarding and animal hospitals has improved my skills with animal behavior. My home is cozy, quiet and I live alone. I have a 16 year old Dachshund Doogie, 13 year old cat Ruby, 10 year old cat Oscar, and a 9 year old dachshund Ziggy. All up to date on shots and friendly with other dogs. I would love to get to know the community and their fur babies to help out whenever possible. Animals are amazing and therapeutic to me so I would be honored if chosen! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and I hope I can assist with your fur babies. I do work remotely, so I’m free usually if I have a two hour notice and I’m always home on the weekends. I can do morning, afternoon, evening walks, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and have a medium dog door available for the pups to come and go and of course I hang outside with them. I also have PetCube cams set up throughout the house to make sure they’re safe when I run to do errands. Extra peace of mind!

We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!

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!!

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals. I started taking care of pets on my own at the age of seven, and I’ve loved doing it ever since. I currently have two rescues of my own, and have experience in senior care. I currently work from home and have an open schedule. I have availability for a fixed schedule or just whenever you need the extra help. I know how important routine is in a pets life, whatever directions are given will be followed. And they will get plenty of cuddles and playtime.

Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!
