About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience caring for multiple pets in my home and around family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have experience caring for pets throughout my life, so I’m used to building feeding, cleaning, and check in times into my day. I’m able to take care of pets anytime on the days I put. I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and give them reliable care and attention every visit. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for both dogs and cats. I make sure all doors and windows are secure and that the space is free from anything unsafe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks for dogs, litter box care for cats, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep them safe and well cared for at all times.
“Lisa is the bees knees!!! She was so communicative and accommodating. I was nervous but in a pinch and needed to put my trust in someone to watch a very special member of my family. She exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. She was personable and friendly to me too. What an absolute pleasure. Thank you Lisa!!!!!”
“Our dogs had a blast with Lisa- they had plenty of room to roam and were clearly given great attention and love during their stay, looking happy in the photo updates she sent and good and tired when we picked them up, ready to nap the whole way home. We will definitely reach out again when we’re in the area if needing a pet sitter!”
“Kimberly and Jeremy and their kids are awesome! Bruno had a wonderful time. They sent plenty of photos and updates. They have a large yard where he had lots of running and fetch time. Highly recommend!”
“She and her husband did a wonderful job of caring for kur Labrador retriever for nearly two weeks. You can tell that they treat your dog like their own. Very pleased with Allison’s service in every way.”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”
“Stephanie & Scott took such great care of our shy dog. Knowing she was in good hands was such a relief for us. They did an amazing job and made her feel right at home. Thank you!”

“Marg was absolutely fantastic when caring for our 1 year old Tibetan Terrier. He came back to us happy and healthy. We received pictures and videos of both his daily outings and his chill time around her house. She was excellent at communication both in the weeks and days leading up to his 4 day stay with her as well as when he was in her care. Her backyard and house were perfect for our pup to play and lounge around in. Our family couldn't be happier with the care he received and look forward to using Marg in the future.”
“Amanda has watched our dog, Daisy, for us two times now. She has gone above and beyond to take such great care of her. Despite Daisy’s wild energy, Amanda exceeded our expectations in the care she gave for her. I feel comfortable leaving Daisy at Amanda’s anytime we need a dog sitter. 10/10, I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Jill is amazing! She has watched Copper now twice and I love her! She sends lots of pictures and is quick to answer when I send a message. I will use her whenever I need a sitter.”
“Maggie was truly incredible! She’s the best sitter I have ever used on Rover. She made my nervous dog feel so comfortable and sent regular updates. She even made me a small painting of my dog after watching her for just a weekend. I highly recommend her!”
“Perfect in every aspect. I can tell Ghost really enjoyed himself and I was scared he wouldn't want to come back home from all the fun he was having haha. Great service and look forward to booking them again in the future. Thank you very much! Chris”
“Emily was awesome and took amazing care of my pups! She took them all over the place to dog parks and friends' back yards, and spoiled them in her home. Her dog is adorable and I'm sure my dogs will be happy to spend another vacation with her. Thanks Emily!!!”
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. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. 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!

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.
“Alexa did a great job taking care of my two cats, Tilly and Opal. She sent pictures and updates so I didn't worry while we were gone. When we returned home the cats were healthy and happy.”
“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Lola did great with Stephanie and Scott. She seemed to be perfectly content when we returned from our four-days away. Stephanie was easy to work with. Highly recommend and I would use Stephanie and Scott again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that cats thrive on routine, patience, and a calm environment. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to observe from a cozy hiding spot, I’ll respect their personality and care for them at their own pace. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime (if they’re interested), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep an eye on their overall well being and let you know if I notice anything unusual. I understand how much peace of mind matters while you’re away, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make your absence as stress free as possible, for both you and your cat.

“Angela was so easy to communicate with, she even sent us some photos. Hugo had so much fun in her big back yard! He was good and tired out by the time we picked him up. Thank you, Angela! We definitely will be back 🐶❤️”
“Rachel and Ivan are great. They treated our dog very well even though he was nervous his first time at there home. The family dog Charles is sweet and gets a long well with other dogs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a wonderful family to watch your dog.”
“Jill was such an angel! I had a family trip in Traverse and although my pup did great at the resort and wineries, we wanted her to be safe and loved when we went to the beach and pool. Jill had amazing reviews and let me not only book same day during a holiday, but also asked if my pup did ok, offered an overnight service to save me some driving time. Jill gave me updates throughout the day, listened to all my directions, sent pictures and really loved on my usually anxious furbaby during her FIRST overnight with a Rover sitter at 15 years old!! Will definitely book Jill again and recommend anyone do the same!!!”
“What a great soul. Jessica provided amazing service for our pups while we were out and about. This was the first time we’ve ever used Rover, and because of this experience, we would definitely use it again. And again, we cannot thank Jessica enough the the care she gave our pups.”
“Jennifer accepted our doggy daycare request just two days before, which was incredibly helpful. Fitzy had an amazing time with her and his new friend Hobbes. They went on a run together and enjoyed some time relaxing. Jennifer kept us updated throughout the day and sent photos. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again next time we are in the area!”

“Maggie was great with Dexter! He isn’t a fan of the snow (and there is currently a ton out.) So, it was nice that Maggie was able to do inside tricks with Dexter to keep him active. Highly recommend, will be booking again!”
About: I am the go to dog/cat watcher of my extended family. I am well trusted with all fur babies! Animals are members of our families and I don’t take that lightly with them under my care. I will treat them as my own and give them so much loving! I work from home full time so can be present with your pet at all times! I’m very active and love being outside with the doggies! I have a fully fenced in yard so your dog can run outside and play at any time under my care where I will play with them!
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: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”
“Bob was wonderful with my Molly Girl!! She had a great time. Bob took her for multiple walks, kept in touch with me the whole day, and sent me pictures to show how Molly was doing. Would highly recommend Bob for anyone who has dog needs in the Traverse City area!”

“Kayla was awesome! She accepted my request with short notice and was prompt and communicative and sent pictures! She was very sweet with my pup. Thanks Kayla i really appreciate it!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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'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.

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.

About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.

Her backyard and house were perfect for our pup to play and lounge around in. Our family couldn't be happier with the care he received and look forward to using Marg in the future.”

“Perfect in every aspect. I can tell Ghost really enjoyed himself and I was scared he wouldn't want to come back home from all the fun he was having haha. Great service and look forward to booking them again in the future. Thank you very much! Chris”
“Champ came back happy as if he’d never left home. Cheyenne was very patient with handling his initial nervous accidents (?) & communicated daily about how he was doing. My first boarding experience was great!”
“Heather was an amazing sitter, very accommodating, and took extra care to get to know Noodles before the booking. Communication was prompt, and while I was on my trip, she sent the sweetest pictures/videos and updates. Overall, Noodles had a great time and received top-tier care. I would definitely recommend Heather when you need a sitter for your fur baby.”
About: I started my pet care journey as a dog walker at age 9, and have found great joy in pet sitting over the years. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages and personalities, and now specialize in in-home boarding where your pets are treated like part of our family. My home offers fenced acreage for safe, supervised running and play, along with structured walks and trail runs for those who need a little extra. After playtime, there’s always a warm bed, or a cozy spot on the couch, waiting for naps and snuggles. With degrees in Wildlife Biology and Zoology, I bring not only a deep love for animals but also a professional understanding of their behavior, needs, and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I split my regular work schedule with 3 wfh days each week. We are an early rising family who enjoy spending time on our homestead. We have several resident pets on the farm: 20 sheep, 2 mini donkeys, chickens and one beloved mutt. Our regular routine involves a 1 mi walk in the am and pm with lots of other opportunities throughout the day for supervised fresh air or playtime in one of our fenced 1 acre pastures. Safe and secure, a ball lovers paradise! I’m comfortable treating your pet as my own with specialized treatment or care as needed. We have 2 respectful preteen boys in the household so kid friendly dogs are an absolute must.
“Emily was awesome and took amazing care of my pups! She took them all over the place to dog parks and friends' back yards, and spoiled them in her home. Her dog is adorable and I'm sure my dogs will be happy to spend another vacation with her. Thanks Emily!!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Bob. Our puppy loved it from the first moment, as Bob's place feels so welcoming. Wooded trails right beyond the house with a walking access to the dog beach at lake Leelanau was great. Bob has sent pictures of dogs having fun at the beach. Overall freedom for the dogs to walk in and out to the fenced backyard, being welcomed on the couch was such a loving & carrying environment and perfect solution for our Golder Retriever, we will be there again and again when in Traverse City area!”
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. Fresh water always, lots of love, and good quality food/treats and getting outside for potty breaks are so important to me. I work full time day shift during the week. 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!
