“I highly recommend Sylvia. We received daily updates with lots of photos. She was very accommodating when we had a flight delay and offered to keep him another day. Scout came home happy as can be. Would definitely use her again.”

“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Megan was great with Cassius. He stayed with her for four nights over Thanksgiving while we went out of town. She made him feel at home and went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable and learned his personality pretty quickly. Megan is very sweet and able to handle our 95lb toddler with patience. She was able to give him medicine, take him for a walk, and play lots of fetch in her fenced in backyard. Megan kept us updated daily and send photos and videos. I would happily board Cassius with her again and would vouch for her ability to befriend pups of all sizes.”


“Coco and Bella loved their stay with Ed. He sent great updates so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not have to worry about our dogs. We will be using him again!”

“Kraken's stay with Jeanne was wonderful! He came home happy and worn out. I didn't worry about him with her. Jeanne sent me photos during the day. Plan to use Jeanne's services in the future.”

“Larisa was wonderful! My dog Jonah stayed one night and she was his new mom, haha. He loves her and adored her little dogs, they were fast friends. This was Jonah's first time away from home and I was worried about him but he seemed to bond with Larisa and that made me so happy. I will feel very confident leaving him for an extended stay at the end of the month.”

“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”

“Christina was a wonderful dog sitter whose home was warm, welcoming, and safe for our old girl. Frequent updates and messages helped us feel even more comfortable that she was well cared for. When we dropped her off and picked her up, there was no stress or discomfort for her (or us). Would definitely recommend her and will hire her again.”


“The transaction was super smooth. Bethany was really nice and easy to work with. Her kennel set up and environment was really nice. My dog seems to have had a great time. No issues at all. I will definitely consider using the services again and recommending Bethany to other dog owners.”

“Madison is amazing!! I’ve never felt comfortable leaving my dog at a boarding facility because of his anxiety. Not only does Madison keep me up to date with what they are doing, but she sends pictures and videos! I know he’s in excellent hands with Madison, and will keep returning as long as she will be doing rover!”

About: I love love love cats in every aspect. My care taking including feeding, activity, nurturing, cat box duty - all done at a very high level. I refer to myself as a cat whisperer as I have lots of experience dealing with different cat personalities.
“Great job checking on my feline friends! I appreciate that you took the time for Theo to come out & then to play with him. Definitely a peace of mind for me that my fur babies are doing well while I am away.”

“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and have helped with whelping, shots, to finding them new homes. I have trained dogs also! I will always treat them as my own and they will be well socialized. I am currently working full time at a family owned business. I am free from Friday-Sunday every weekend. I can take smaller dog with me to work (30#) or less. I have 30 wooded acres in the country. I have a large yard, not fenced but have a wireless collar system if I need to use it. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab neutered male, he is very playful and loves other dogs. I have 3 kids ages 10,7,2. Who I have taught to respect all animals and know the responsibility of taken care of them. I am willing to meet to pick up and drop off also.

“Did excellent going out of the way through out the day to check on the cats for a few hours! Kept up with communication and sent many pictures and videos that we really appreciated!”


About: I grew up catsitting my neighbor's kitties, playing, feeding, and changing litter while friends were away. I have one cat of my own, and live with my parents who have 2 barn kitties. I am experienced caring for kittens and older cats as well as cats who are super shy. I will follow your cat's lead so they can be comfortable with me in their space. I know how different cat sitting can be to dog sitting, since cats take longer to warm up to new people and environments, I won't rush them :)
About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved. I own a large dog you thinks he’s a lap dog. I pay attention to the attitude and behaviors for anything wrong.

About: I can administer medication, I’m known as a cat whisperer in my hospitals. I have a patience for cats, they are independent free spirits that secretly love to give and demand love. I’m all for it!

About: I’ve had cats in my life for years and currently have cats of my own, so I completely understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and very strong opinions! Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others are happiest when you simply keep their food bowl full and respect their personal space. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, basic medications, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior while you’re away. I’m also happy to spend some extra time just hanging out with them so they have company even if that means we sit on opposite sides of the room and pretend we aren’t friends yet. My goal is to keep your cat’s routine as normal and stress free as possible while you’re gone. And of course, I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates so you know exactly how your tiny roommate is doing! 🐱🐾

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lake

About: I’ve taken care of Pets since I was a little girl! Born and raised on a farm and always had dogs around! I currently have two of my own and recently opened a Dog Boading facility at my home in Evart Mi! I’m currently working part time with a pretty Flexible schedule so I have time to let pups out for potty breaks and lots of exercise/ play time in our fenced in yard I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to run and play. My kennel is also available should I need to leave for a few hours.
“Larisa is so patient with my shy doodle. Maggie enjoys the other dogs but takes a while to warm up to humans. Larisa allows her to explore at her own pace so that she is slowly becoming more comfortable.”


“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”
“Christina is definitely a pet lover who cares! Our dog felt right at home the moment we set foot in her home and had a wonderful time. We will certainly use Christina whenever we are in the Stanwood area!”

“Megan is great! Boone loves going to see her and she takes exceptional care of him. It is so nice to know that when we are away from him he is getting the care and love that we want for him.”


About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.

About: My husband, Greg, and I are retired Police Officers who recently purchased our retirement home in Garfield Township. We lived and raised our family in Berrien County for the past 30 years. Over the years we have had many dogs and cats as well as chickens and a horse. My husband, most likely, will be joining me while I care for your beloved pet. We are avid pet lovers and desire to make sure you and your pet have a stress free day while you’re away. I have a free schedule and have plenty of time to care, play, walk and cuddle your pet. I’m more than willing to work with you to accommodate whatever it is you need from me! I’m passionate about giving your pet the best service possible. I’d like to be given information about your pet(s), their behavior, socialization, health and temperament.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I can remember, I have rescued 2 malamutes and have fostered many dogs. I can handle any type of energy, any breed of dog. I grew up with 4 cats and I love them very much! I would love to work with animals more. I currently work in Mount Pleasant so I have no problems dropping in before or after a shift! I would prefer to watch an animal at your place where they feel safe, I currently have 4 dogs so my house is pretty full. I am able to take to dog parks, hikes and runs!
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”


“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”
