She even got him to eat during the week which usually doesn’t happen in our absence. We appreciate her care so we could visit family! THANK YOU!”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“If you want to treat your dog for the spa / vacation while you are gone , do not look any other place ! They are so amazing and lovely .

“I am so grateful for Katie and Kristen for their amazing care of my Boston Terrier, Abby! I was going to a conference for two days and plans fell through for her, but Katie and Kristen were amazing and I was able to book with them for two nights. They sent photos and updates which I absolutely adored. Abby is totally pooped after having an amazing time with them and I wholeheartedly can say with certainy that you should book with them when they’re available. You can leave your beloved pet with them as they are in good hands. Thank you so much for all of your help and all of the updates. I am so grateful for you both! And Abby says thank you for taking care of me!”
“Great experience! Appreciated the daily updates. Seems like they were treated like family. Marija’s home and yard is a perfect setting for lots of playing and comfy time.”
“Catherine has sat my dogs twice, each time for about a week. When we brought them back, they were super excited to see her! Catherine kept the dogs entertained with frequent walks to the park next door and plenty of play time. She paid careful attention to our instructions to reinforce our training. Catherine handled a kerfuffle between our dogs wonderfully, separating them as soon as it happened and attending to their needs right away. She communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend her, especially if your dog can use some additional socialization!”
“Tracey was absolutely fantastic! She's extremely knowledgable and professional. Tracey put our minds at ease and provided wonderful care to our pup. I would 100% book Tracey again and I highly recommend her as a trusted and valuable pet sitter!”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”

About: I've not only had cats of my own since I was 10, but also worked as a vet tech for 8 years. I am well versed in the mysteries of cat body language and have experience administering any medication or prescrption food required
About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.
About: My lifelong animal care, training and experiences are very diverse. I have owned, trained and cared for puppies - senior dogs, kittens - senior cats, equine and most barnyard, macaws - finches, lizards - tortoises. Currently retired and would be happy to help you out with your pets during your work week. Hamburg and surrounding area. Will consider locations farther out. Interaction throughout day; guide/train as needed. Plenty of exercise, enrichment and chill time. We have a fenced yard, secure neutral spaces in home, quiet home life and natural wooded rural setting. Daily walks on trails and country roads.
“Sarah did a great job with Gourdon while I was gone. I received a photo and updates after every visit. She even brought a couple of new toys for Gourdon. I will definitely be using Sarah again and can highly recommend her.”
“Kelena was great. Proactive communication, went above and beyond when one of my pups was sick, and she really wants to get it right. Plus my dogs liked her immediately which is a great sign! Highly recommend.”
“We felt like our two large dogs were in the best care with Valerie. We felt with every visit she truly spent time with them and gave us many detailed updates and photos! This was the first time we went out of town and didn’t worry about them! Highly recommend Valerie for taking care of your furry loved ones!”
About: Hello, since I was young, I’ve loved dogs. I have one of my own, Arlo. I’ve taken care of lots of dogs and want to help you take care of yours too! I am working to earn money to help pay for my nursing school! I am currently in nursing school so weekends work best for me. I do require a heads up of two days so I can plan. I am willing to do some weekdays, depending on times! Contact me and we can try to work something out! As a dog walker in general I will try to keep your pup away from other dogs to avoid potential problems. As a dog owner myself I know your pet is apart of your family as much as the humans and your dog’s safety is a main concern for me!
“Tara was great watching our 6 month old kittens. They are very shy with new people. She was patient and gained their trust, she really went the extra mile! Highly recommend! Thank you Tara!”
“Chelsea was wonderful! She’s very friendly and shows the animals lots of love and attention. I got lots of pictures for every visit and and she made being away from our cats easier. Would definitely request her again!”
About: We always are out having fun, exploring new terrain. I have a puli and she is always craving new friends and adventures. Dogs are everything to me and the life I live, can't beat a dogs love. We get out and explore all the time as no dog should be left behind sitting around not enjoying life to the fullest. Your pets will be in good hands, treating them just like they are my own. We frequent dog parks and will rally all sorts of fun activities with your beloved animal. I love dogs, you can trust me with your precious family member. Rover is a great service! I work from home so your pets will be taken care of around the clock. I will be available to offer potty breaks whenever needed. We love on your pets like they are our own. They won't want to leave when they are in our care. Safety and their well-being is our top priority.
“Cori went above and beyond to make sure my pets got some TLC this past weekend. Despite some obstacles (power outages, life events, etc.) she still made sure to prioritize us and drop-in on our little buddies. Thanks so much for your help, Cori!”
“Bree was AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of my two cats and even got our mail! I felt so much less stressed knowing my pets were in great hands while I was out of town. Highly recommend!!”

“Thank you Caroline for taking such good care of my Ku'uipo. The video's and pictures you sent of her eating and playing was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Michigan.”
About: I’ve owned several dogs, large and small breeds, most of my life. I am a dog lover!!. I am a retired registered nurse, and recently had to say goodbye to our beloved lab, Mack. I am missing a furry friend and would love to meet and care for your pet. I have a lovely setting for boarding your dog or cat. I live in a wooded area with large lots and long meandering roads for walks that are away from busy roads. I am home full time since I retired and love to walk, so your dog will get lots of exercise staying with me. I usually only take one dog at a time, however if you have 2 pets from the same household, I would take both. I would also take 2 dogs, each from different households, if both pet parents agree. I will give full attention to your pet during boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, and walks. I will love and play with them and follow any specific instructions for pet care you have. I will communicate with pet updates during our visits and send you pictures of your pets daily activities.
“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”
About: My husband and I love giving plenty of cuddles, attention, and affection. We truly enjoy the companionship and know it’s returned tenfold. I’m a full-time healthcare professional who has always had a soft spot for furry family members. We understand how important it is to know your pet is not just cared for, but genuinely loved in a home environment rather than staying in a kennel. That’s exactly what we provide. Your pet will be treated like one of our own, with attention, comfort, and care throughout the entire day. Since I work from home, your pet will have consistent supervision, companionship, and plenty of love morning, day, and night I have worked from home for quite a few year which allows me to let doggies out every hour if needed and take several quick walks Pets are allowed to go everywhere in the home. We do have a baby gate up at my office door to block off dogs when we leave the house for a period of time if they are puppies
About: We’ve loved and cared for animals our entire lives and have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and physical needs. That lifelong experience helped us create a home designed specifically for dogs’ safety and comfort, where we care for only one pup at a time so we can give them our full attention. With a fenced yard, lots of supervision, and very little time spent alone, your dog will enjoy a calm, loving environment filled with playtime, cuddles, and personalized care. Our daily routine is built around the dogs in our care. One of us is home most of the day, so your pup will have very little, if any, time alone. We provide regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, play sessions, walks (if that’s part of their routine), and plenty of cuddle and relax time throughout the day. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and medication schedule so their stay feels familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. We offer a calm, safe, and loving home for your dog while you’re away. We intentionally care for only one dog at a time, so your pup gets our full attention and a peaceful, stress-free stay (no crowded doggy sleepovers here!).
“Olivia is friendly, responsive, and flexible with our scheduling needs, and we were happy she was available to have Maddie at her house. Our dog was happy and comfortable spending the day with Olivia and her family.”
“Monica and Razvan were great! They kept us informed with clear communication and plenty of photo/video updates. Louie had great time and came home tired from all the fun. Will definitely go back!”
About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud. Also added another furry friend to our mix, a red golden retriever, her name is Sadie. I also have four cats, one big orange tabby, a calico, and two black cats. My heart is full of love for animals and I would treat yours like my own. I dog sit for my grandparents as well, and friends as needed. I had the honor of helping train my grandmas dog and Finn as well. Simple things like learning to sit and stay but still important! I am currently home for the summer from college. I attend Ferris State and will return in the fall. So, I am just looking for a part time gig for the summer! Besides one vacation in June I am completely free for all potty breaks, walks, etc during the week. I have two dogs at home if a stay at my home is needed, I have leads available for use as well. We also have a fairly large crate used for our golden when she was a puppy, so your pet can be crated if necessary! My pups are very friendly and would love the extra company! I also have no problem staying at a clients home if that makes things easier! I have reliable transportation and have an SUV to take the pups to the park or anything like that! I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.
About: Since I was a little girl I've on and off cared of peoples pets and also had my own all my life. I've had a cat for 17 years that I saved when she was 4 weeks old. I've cared for dogs in labor. I have experience with all types of dogs & love animals. I'm reliable & responsible & also have a 3 year old & a 1 year old who loves animals just as much as me. I am a stay at home mom so I'm pretty flexible! We live in a quite low traffic neighborhood and would love to take some pups for walks and to play! Your dog will always be accompanied & on a leash for all outdoor activities. I have dog beds & toys to keep them playing & comfy. I have an acre yard that is partially fenced in. I have a quad level home so if I needed a gate to separate the levels too I also could do that. We live next to the Huron River so walks to the river is always fun also.
About: Hi !! I’m Jasmine and I’m a student at U-M so I’m available most of the entire summer. I write music for a living so the times I’m away from home will be for premieres and other things but I’ll update my availability to reflect my summer travel (which isn’t a lot). Otherwise I’m free any day. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and my childhood dog lived to be 18, so I have experience with senior pets as well. I can administer medications, I will take them on frequent walks, feed them on their schedule, and have plenty of play time. I have a loving and sweet fur baby named Blossom who is a toy poodle/ bichon frise mix. She is comfortable around dogs and cats and if anything is a little shy. She’s not crate trained so I’d allow your pet to roam freely through the house. Anything I do for Blossom is what I’d do for your baby unless you tell me otherwise, and she’s treated like a princess! I know visits away from home can be a little stressful for your fur baby, but rest assured I can handle any situation and make sure your baby feels at home. Expect many pictures and videos! I live a little bit outside of Ann Arbor but getting to me from Ann Arbor would be a short drive. My neighborhood is very dog friendly so it will be no problem! I care for my pet A LOT throughout the day, so walks, feeding, play time, anything is completely a part of my daily routine. I take Blossom on walks numerous times a day so if you have a pet that isn’t house trained yet, I think having her around will be helpful for them to learn how. If in my home, everything is already safe for pets to be there. I don’t have any carpet so I’m not concerned about pet messes, I can clean them up easily. I’m very attentive to my own pet and would be just as attentive to your fur baby. I’d invite you to come see my place before your pet’s stay to see if it’d be a good fit. If in your place, I will follow any rules you have for me.
“Kelcie and Kyle take excellent care of our doggies and even sent them home with sweet notes and a gift/ toy. They are wonderful and we feel very fortunate to have them to watch our puppies!”
“Sheila is an amazing person and caregiver! Today was our dog’s first day with her, and our doggo was loved and very well taken care of. Thank you, Sheila!!”
About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and even hedgehogs! I love and treat each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live off of a private road on 1.6 acres. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and lots of sniffing for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. I have also have two large dogs who love to play. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent regularly to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! *please let me know if your fur baby has any special limitations at our meet and greet so I can do my best to accommodate them.* I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.
“So very nice! This was an unplanned trip for a family emergency. I was so lucky that Catherine was available last minute. She was very flexible regarding my needs to visit someone in hospital. My dog was very happy at her home. It was a relief to know he was being taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“She is so fantastic! Her backyard is huge. Our dogs are still asleep and it's 16 hours since we picked them up. We're definitely going to ask her to dog sit them again. She's very friendly and open and communicates very well. We also got pictures during the day which was really nice. I think they had a fantastic time.”
“Our dog had a great time, and we received plenty of updates and details regarding her stay, which we really appreciated. We were glad to see that Maggie made new friends, and she came back happy and tired!”

“Al was great with Marley today. He clearly understands dogs and works with them often. He has a very calm demeanor and Marley took to him immediately. We highly recommend Al for anyone looking for help with their furry friend, and we will surely use him again in the near future!”
About: I have a nurturing personality which makes it pretty easy to be a care taker, and I really enjoy this part of being able to help others. Pet care actually works out really well with my schedule/full-time job schedule as I work from home and I go into office working in a hybrid environment. The long story short-- my schedule is very flexible allowing me to watch/keep your furry friend safe. When I home stay, as I have in the past, I treat the property, items, pets and home with the utmost respect as if it were my own and leave things exactly how they were. I prioritize a clean space for myself and intend to do so for you, so when you return home it's not an absolute mess. It's very important to me that you are able to trust that I do right by your rules/policies of the home, as I understand it can be a bit daunting to trust someone with your special buddy or living space, whatever the case may be. My goal is for you to feel worry free while you're away and rest assured client trust is something I take very seriously!
About: Hi there! 👋 I’m Corrine, and I’ve spent the past 2 years caring for dogs and cats of all kinds — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending my free time around them. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with furry friends, making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! 🐾 I work full time but love to hang with pets in my free time! Happy to assist on week nights or weekends. Willing to travel a little bit as well. I care for pets as if they are my own. Give them their own food, bed and safety - whether it be free roaming or in a crate. Whatever makes them feel safe and loved.
About: My husband & I grew up having both dogs & cats. Neither of us have professional experience. However, we have watched family members or neighbors pets on top of taking care of our own (2 y.o. Beagle & x2 7 y.o. cats) We both value talking to animals & providing them with whatever environment they prefer, be it more playtime, a shady quiet napping spot, or sun bathing. As most know cats can’t necessarily be trained but nevertheless ours are well behaved. They do have their claws but they have never scratched or bitten (unless playfully) anyone. Our beagle is also well behaved, albeit goofy, & trained with Whole Hearted peanut butter treats. We do still currently have a cage but it is very rare we use it, mostly from when she was a younger puppy. Our animals do fine around others. The cats have an escape to the basement with a gate so if they are crabby will go there. Our dog will sometimes make the classic beagle howl at first but is never a threat. I am home most of the time. We have a child under the age of 1 but she is generally excited by all dogs & cats. My schedule is flexible. If there is someone who would like to make long term arrangements that would be okay to discuss. We live in a neighborhood off a dirt road with a decent sized back yard. There is no fence. We put our dog on a chord if she is unattended but usually will also be outside. There are trails going all around the neighborhood that are perfect for dog walks. We have a farm behind our house that has 2 horses gated in. They are friendly & our dog will get excited if anything. There are multiple households in our neighborhood with dogs. Inside the house, dogs will have lots of choices when it comes to resting spots; sunny or more dark quiet spaces.
“Tara was wonderful with our puppy. She was very personable on our meet and greet providing us with valuable advice with training our pup. She was on time and her communication throughout each session was certainly appreciated.”
About: I have pets from cats to pugs to rottweilers so I'm very comfortable working with both small and bigger dogs! I've had pets my whole life, my family used to foster dogs so I've been caring for all kinds of dogs since I was a kid. I have done drop in's with friends and families pets while they were on vacation. I've worked with pets that take time to trust and can tell when a dog is uncomfortable and needs space/a break. I also have experience working with special foods/medications. Littles, seniors, and everything in between are welcome I've worked with them all in my personal life! I'm a full time university student trying to put myself through college! I'm home for the summer and my schedule is extremely flexible! I'm willing to work holidays. I'm able to follow owners' requests for their pet whether that be using command words, crating, feeding, playing, walking, litter boxes, light grooming. Any routines or training you have I'm more then willing to impliment them into my visit!
“Michelle was great with Ranger! Prompt with her arrival, and spent the full time with him. He was able to get some energy out and not be alone all day which is exactly what he needed! We will continue booking with Michelle 😁”
About: For my entire adult life I've cared for dogs and enjoyed every minute of it. I made my Rover radius very small, if you are seeing this I should live nearby. I do a lot of emergency or last minute walks for people on the portage chain I currently work in Real Estate and have a fluid schedule. I'm used to being on call 24/7. Usually have 2-3 appointments per day that last an hour or so. Plenty of time to check in on your pets and take them for walks. I've cared for many different types and ages of dogs over the years. I'll follow any directions you have to ensure your dog is as happy with me as I am with them!
About: I have raised and loved two boxer dogs over the past 25 years and also 5 stray cats/kittens in this time period. Walks are fun. I am retired for 10 months now so I have a very flexible schedule. I love to be outside and take walks on a regular basis. I was a dog and cat owner for decades. I took them to all their vet appointments over the years. My dogs were always on a leash for walks.
About: I’ve had animals all my life and since i don’t currently have them at the moment I LOVE spending time with other peoples pets! I have watched multiple family and friends pets when they go on vacation and really enjoy the company of animals for a few days! I work with our therapy dog that we have at work, and have also volunteered at the humane society! I have somewhat of a hybrid schedule depending on the week, so depending on what your pet is use to we can try work around it. Based on the schedule you provide I will try my best to follow it as closely as possible. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, but grew up with animals and will treat yours like my own!! It's all what is best for you and your fur baby! Just let me know. I realize everyone has a different schedule and will do my best to accommodate!

“Emily and Timothy took care of my dog like their own! They picked her up and dropped her off. They were so helpful when our flight was delayed and we needed an extra night. Overall, a wonderful experience!”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“If you want to treat your dog for the spa / vacation while you are gone , do not look any other place ! They are so amazing and lovely . Zoe is also a sweetheart 😍My dog fell in love with both of them instantly! I can not explain how wonderful and lovely they both are . Will definitely bring my dog back”
“Darcy and Dan took wonderful care of my pup! They asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet and are clearly huge dog lovers. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Darcy and Dan provided updates, photos, and a video throughout the stay. I already booked my dog's next stay.”
“This is the third time that Laura and Manuel have watched our two pups and they are beyond amazing. We knew that the dogs were having the best time and were very well taken care of. They sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip and are always responsive.”
“Great experience! Appreciated the daily updates. Seems like they were treated like family. Marija’s home and yard is a perfect setting for lots of playing and comfy time.”
“Catherine has sat my dogs twice, each time for about a week. When we brought them back, they were super excited to see her! Catherine kept the dogs entertained with frequent walks to the park next door and plenty of play time. She paid careful attention to our instructions to reinforce our training. Catherine handled a kerfuffle between our dogs wonderfully, separating them as soon as it happened and attending to their needs right away. She communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend her, especially if your dog can use some additional socialization!”
“Linda did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Theo. She took him for walks daily & sent lots of photos & updates. It’s always hard to leave him but she made it much easier for us. I would highly recommend her!”

“Kristi and Jason are both very friendly and welcoming. They took Pebbles into their own home and kept her safe and happy while I was gone for a long weekend. It was great knowing that Pebbles was getting lots of attention, love, and play time with her new dog friend, Oli. Kristi and Jason sent me updates including pictures of them taking her out for a walk, which was very reassuring . I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!”
