“This was the first time my dog, Tulie, has gone to a “strangers” house to stay. I thought she might have separation anxiety, as she is quite attached to me. My worries were dashed as she quickly settled in with the family. Rachel sent daily updates with pictures and a cute video of her daughter playing with Tulie. I definitely would highly recommend Rachel and Ivan for dog sitting.”

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 13, and have always had a dog since. My dog is my baby! One of my favorite pastimes is walking my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs.

Weekends and evenings are free for me! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet while your away! Pets like their routines and I am totally respectful of that. I can accommodate their particular needs to keep them safe, happy and well cared for!
“GusGus definitely gives Coleen 5 stars, and so do I! Our little rescue guy spent 4 days with Coleen and her husband and was happy and relaxed the entire time. He got lots of cuddles, walks and care. It was our first time with Coleen and surely will not be the last. The communication was clear, the atmosphere warm and friendly and the loving care was evident.”
“Maggie was great! She communicated and sent pictures while Dexter was boarded with her for the weekend. She provided his meds as required. He enjoyed walks and sunbathing in the backyard. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home.

About: Hello, and welcome to the Pup's Place, your dog's home when you're away from home. I have experience in dog walking and sitting, whether it be at your place or mine. My experience lies primarily with small and medium sized breeds but I can provide care for large breeds (40-100 lbs). I'll be honest, I joined Rover as a way to experience all the joys that a dog brings in life after losing my best friend who lived to 21 years old. I'm not ready to get another dog so I hope that caring for yours as I have cared for mine all her life can fill the hole inside my heart, as well as put you at ease knowing your dog is receiving the utmost love and care we both know they deserve. As for availability, I work full time midnight shifts (7pm-7:30am) at the hospital, 3 days a week. I can work around my schedule to meet your needs. Please feel free to message me with questions regarding availability. I look forward to working with you! I work full time at the hospital (3 days a week). My schedule is flexible, so I am able to meet your needs. I can stop by before and after work and if you live near the hospital, I will be able to stop by on my lunch break (2am) if overnight care is needed. I have a fenced in yard, spacious living room and bedroom areas for your babies to hang out, relax, and play. Pets are allowed on the furniture and bed. I do have 2 cats who have experience living with small and medium sized breeds of dogs

About: I am a long-time lover of animals, and have raised a family of humans, along with a family of pets- large dogs, small dogs, birds, hamsters, mice and turtles. I am currently without a pet, so I care for my backyard squirrels, birds, and chipmunks. I am retired with lots of time, energy, and love to care for your dear pet. I love to walk and hike, live close to the TART trail, and would enjoy the company of a furry friend. Walking trails are just outside my door, and I have space for crates and your furry friend's toys or their own special bed and blanket if preferred for their care and comfort.
About: Let me start by saying, I LOVE animals! I have 2 Siberian Huskies and a black lab. My daughter, Lainie has taken after me in her love for animals. She’s very gentle and loves to cuddle as long as your pup is comfortable. We’ve got plenty of outside running space in our fenced in backyard. I’ve been boarding animals since I was 9 years old so I am very confident in my skills! I hope you will trust me with your pets and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I’m currently working from home while raising my two children. I am very flexible with times and frequency of care. I am happy to help! I have a good sized fenced in yard and a 3 bedroom house so we have plenty of room for puppy cuddles and play time!

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”
“Katherine was very responsive, listened to the instructions perfectly and made me feel that my sweet baby was well cared for with her visit !! She also sent pictures, which was such a treat to see my baby happy when I’m at work!”
“I put in a last-minute request for a walk, and Charles responded right away. He was prompt and polite, and it was immediately obvious that Charles is experienced with dogs. He has a gentle manner and way of speaking - my dogs took to him immediately. He sent me updates throughout the walk and even spent extra time with them. They liked him so much they tried to get in his car! As a Rover sitter myself and as someone that has used other Rover sitters, I know how hard finding a trusted sitter can be, but Charles put my worries to rest. I highly recommend Charles, and I will definitely be using him again.”
“Tabitha is been walking my 85 year old mother's labradoodle for about a month. Tabitha has been very kind to my mother and has taken great care of Cocoa. I always get updates about their walks and what business Cocoa has done. Tabitha has also been very dependable through the sub-zero weather we have had this winter. She always shows up with a smile and is happy to be there.”
About: I am experienced walking and taking care of many different breeds, including a Weimaraner, Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Corgi, and a Chihuahua. I have also house sat for dogs, cats, and rabbits. One of the dogs I've watched had a history of seizures, so I learned how to administer their daily medication. I'm very punctual and I love animals. I've walked dogs in a lot of different weather conditions, and have no problem walking your dog regardless of what weather Michigan decides to throw at everyone. I look forward to getting some valuable time outdoors, and getting to take care of some adorable animals. I have a fairly open schedule and will do my best to accommodate clients. I am available to work early, late, and overnight as needed. I will take care of pets in their home so that they can be the most comfortable. I will follow the schedule for walks and food that their owner provides.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I’ve had big dogs and small dogs and love them all. I miss my dogs from back home so caring for some while i’m in college seems like a good opportunity :) I’m a full time college student but will be available as much as possible! Between classes, afternoons, mornings, and weekends, I will make it work with the free time I have outside of class! My pets at home get a daily walk! Every afternoon we walk the nature preserve near my house. I will make sure your pet is cared for and gets plenty of time outside or playing.

“Kathryn really got me out of a bind as she was able to walk Maggie twice on short notice. She made sure that I was comfortable with her by taking time to come over and meet the day before. She kept me updated with pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’m naturally nurturing and currently in school pursuing a career in nursing, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals and enjoy building bonds with pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve trained my pets and I currently have a cat and a dog of my own. My dream is to one day have a farm filled with animals! Spending time with pets is something I truly love. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away. I am available Monday through Sunday various times and for overnight stays if needed. I am in the TC area until the end of August. I am happy to work with a family and all your needs for care. I always keep a pet's safety and care as my number one priority. My kitty and dog are my world, and I would treat other animals the same way I treat my own. I would be sure to keep them fed. loved and nurtured while they are in my care.
