“A lovely couple who cared and loved my little dude as much as I do. Very quick to respond and given updates, photo and videos of my kitten was very reassuring, and had great advice on how to manage him alone. Lovely experience 10/10”
“Olivia did a great job watching Hawk over the holidays! She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of attention. He’s a high energy dog, and she handled him perfectly. We could tell he had a great time with her. We recommend Olivia and plan to use her services again down the road!”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“Chris took great care of my dog, Freya, for a weekend. He was attentive to her needs and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“She was so nice and my pup Max he has a hard time with people and right away he was warmed right up, and sent me updates and lots of pictures:), next trip I can’t take max i will 100% go right to Ellen”
“Brianna was great! I was able to rest assured that my pup was secure and well taken care of while I was out of town and not stuck in a crate/kennel with 15 other dogs. She was very responsive, professional, and kind. I would definitely recommend her or use her again for boarding in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!”
About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!

“McKenna cared for Charlie as if he were her own. He had a wonderful time playing with Togo and Grizzly, and she kept us updated several times a day. The huge backyard gave Charlie plenty of space to play, and he slept like a baby when we brought him home. We would be happy to use her services again!”

“Elizabeth is the BEST! She took care of my sweet teenage kitten for a few days while I was away for work and I just couldn’t have been more reassured that Lila was in good hands, and being loved upon & looked out for.

“Our usual sitter was unavailable, so I had to find someone last-minute. Luckily, Megan was able to step in and help us out. In person, Megan was relaxed, easy to talk to, and genuinely seemed like a nice person. While we were away, she followed our instructions to the letter and actually took the time to make friends with our cats. The extra effort Megan put forth made our vacation more enjoyable.”
“Lauren did great looking after our two cats. Not only did she scoop their litter and feed them, she also stayed and played with them each day. She truly does care to ensure your pets are cared for and comfortable while you’re away!”

I love to spoil my cats and would do the same for yours.

“Christine did everything we asked while taking care of our kitties. Very good communication and was flexible with one finicky eater. Looking forward to using Christine services again! ?”
“Both during the initial visit and while she was taking care of them, Ashleigh was great with my dogs! My three husky mixes loved her! She took the time to go outside and engage with each one of them and cater to their individual personalities. She was extremely patient with their high energy needs and even took the time to send me several photos of them playing in the yard. Her exerperince of currently being in Vet school, and of previously working in a kennel and as a Vet Assistant really put me at ease in that if there were some type of an emergency, Ashleigh would be able to promptly and properly be able to handle it. I will defintely request Ashleigh's services again in the future!”

“Melissa went above and beyond while taking care of my dog Amaya. She is an excellent caring person. I was nervous about the process because it is my first time on Rover. She helped me so much and put my mind at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
About: (Leave a review if you can!)⭐️ I’ve been a dog and cat girl my whole life. From learning patience with young dogs at the age of 5 weeks old, to attending to a 14 -year-old dog, I have open-handedly experienced what it is like dealing with dogs of all ages. I have also dealt with the sassy teenager phase from both dogs and cats. When they are bored, they will make it known. The biggest take I have learned from taking care of dogs and cats is that they won’t always be on your timeline. You have to be extremely patient and take time to train them and be there for them. I’m currently doing babysitting only Monday 9am-5pm. I am going to school but I mainly take online classes, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is flexible and my boyfriend also lives with me and helps me so your pet won’t get bored! He’s home during the periods I am out so overall my schedule is free. I have a fenced in mini pet park next to my apartment. Your furry companion will get all of the exercise he/she needs! My apartment is very cozy and safe, only smaller pets are allowed so there won’t be any issue with other pet owner neighbors.
“Ellen is super responsive and gets back to you right away! We recently moved into town and needed a sitter with one week notice. Ellen set up a meet and greet prior to our daycare date with us as soon as possible. Kiwi came back happy and tired! Ellen provided photos and updates throughout the day too!”

“Deborah was amazing with our 1 year old Labrador! Perfect home with fenced in yard for lots of playtime with her own pup. The two dogs were perfect playmates and even took a neighborhood walk! Highly recommended for a caring, loving home for your pet's care.”

Our home includes large, grassy areas perfect for running, and we also enjoy long daily walks around the neighborhood should your pet need extra exercise and outdoor activities.
“Colleen was very communicative and quick to respond. She was flexible with arrival and departure. She has a huge backyard and clean, large, enclosed room with great views indoor. My 3 dogs took some great naps and enjoyed exploring the yard. She sent pics and kept a close eye on the pups with a camera in the room. I felt very at ease. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will book again next time I'm in town. Thank you so much!”
“Carla is super friendly and nice. Wendy loved staying with her and looked kinda upset that she was leaving her place. ? I’ve had multiple people watch her when I’m at work and Carla was the best so far. Highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”
About: I have a very dog and cat friendly place to call home. Most days I am outside working around the property and the dogs are out with us. I’ve raised our dogs from 8 weeks old and the Labs are obedience trained and have taken their Canine Good Citizen class to hopefully be Therapy dogs soon. Our Pug is the youngest and raised by the Labs and of course, me. In the evenings it’s relax in the chair time. The dogs love to snuggle up and just nap after playing outside. I make my own work schedule and am able to fit work around pets. Usually only leaving the dogs for an errand run here and there. I go outside with all dogs and walk them on the property. I feed 2 times a day plus a snack or whatever is necessary for any visiting pet along with fresh water at all times. All pets have free range of the house day and night unless otherwise requested. I have an outdoor kennel for nice days if they need to be outside for a little while.
About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.
About: We are a just a loving couple with a couple of cats and dogs. Our farm is ready to share the love with your animals and take them on an adventure when you are on your adventure. I’m Jack and I stay home to take care of my family. I live in the country with a big yard and I love animals. My girlfriend walks and takes care of animals by my side. There is always someone to love them and someone there for your animals needs. We have a big field for pets. Two dogs that roam as they please. They are trained to stay in the yard. One pet must be tethered, he gets 100 ft of chain to adventure. We live on dirt roads and have plenty of space to run all the energy out of your pups. We also can care for quiet and gentle pets. We accommodate whoever visits our home, the Hideout.

“Megan was absolutely amazing!! Was kind enough to do a meet and greet with the boys, was beyond flexible, sent great updates and treated the pups perfectly 😄 Thank you so much for all you did! 5/5 🐾”
About: Hello, my name is Shirley Gonzalez! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’ve been caring for animals professionally since I was 17 when I started working at a doggy day care facility. Although, all throughout my childhood I had pets of all kinds such as parakeets, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, snakes, and fish. After leaving the boarding industry, I decided to become a Vet Tech, to further pursue my passion. I have 4 years of vet tech experience total, some spent working in a high volume-low cost hospital, so I am confident I can handle just about anything, and have seen it all! I’m am capable of caring for all kinds of pets like Guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, to name a few; and of course, dogs and cats of all sizes. I have a soft spot for feisty chihuahuas and seniors! I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats that may be labeled as “difficult”, and will always be willing to do a meet and greet as many times as needed, beforehand to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I can safely administer medications orally, topically, or injections such as insulin. My experience as a vet tech has given me knowledge and tools that I use to ensure your pet stays safe, secure, and stress-free in a potentially stressful situation, as I understand some fur babies may have separation anxiety. I do accept drop-ins during my overnight stays, sometimes having to step out multiple times a day for a couple hours, so if that is something that will not work for your pets, please let me know so I can accommodate accordingly. I’m very big on reading body language, and I feel it goes a long way to making your pets feel at ease while you’re away. Comfort for your fur babies and peace of mind for you are part of the package deal! I’m available for overnight stays, and drop ins for any species. Drop ins always welcome! I can provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, even a bed time visit, and plenty of cuddles and playtime for kitties and pups who need that stimulation. I send you tons of pictures and updates throughout the day so you’ll never have to wonder what your pets are getting up to. If you like your update photos, ask about booking a private photo session, shot using a professional camera! I now provide full-time pet care services! We can work around your existing schedule so not much has to change for them. No routine is too extravagant! Currently, I do not offer boarding. I have a ton of in-home pet sitting experience and feel it’s easier on your pets when they get to stay home.
About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.
About: My full name is Olivia Vera Love but you can call me Vera! I’ve taken care of animals of every kind ever since I could walk. Henry was my first dog and he was an English Setter. Ollie was my first cat and he came from a local barn. My mom taught me how to care for their every need and extend that towards other dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, guineas, and goats. I have walked, fed, bathed, brushed, and worked with special needs dogs, chickens, reptiles, and elderly cats. At one point I was taking care of four cats, three dogs, and twenty birds. I'm confident in my experience with animals to leave a positive impact on them. Both of my mom’s dogs are older dachshunds with special needs. I regularly dog sit a lovely miniature Australian Shepherd and cat sit a Blue Russian cat on my own time. I also currently own one rat, Cheez-it, and she loves the Australian Shepherd. Im a recent graduate looking for work so I'm flexible at the moment. Routine is two walks a day in the morning and night. I am looking for a full time position so while I currently am able to provide full time support in the future I will be able to provide part time support. I strive to give patience and understanding. I react to the needs of the pet or pet owner and do what needs to be done to do what will make the pet happy. My love for animals is primarily through my love of their capacity for empathy. Through my experiences I have also learned to be stern and to stand my ground with pets to work with them and to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I’m a pet parent to both dogs and cats, so I know firsthand what it means to leave your animals with someone and hope they’re truly cared for beyond just fed and checked on. I bring that same warmth and attentiveness to every sit. As a remote consultant and student, I work from wherever I am which means your pets can have company during the day if that’s what’s best for them. I’m a longtime pet owner, which means I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely animal-centered. Your home will be respected, your animals will be loved on, and you’ll actually enjoy your time away knowing someone fun and trustworthy is holding things down. I take feeding schedules, medications, and training rules seriously — because consistency is what keeps your pets feeling safe and settled while you’re gone. The goal is that your travel is disruptive to you as little as possible, and to your pets not at all. I value clear, direct communication and will keep you updated so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’ll bring that same straightforwardness from our first message all the way through drop-off. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. Whether your dog needs a playmate or your cat just wants company on the couch, I’m here for it. Every sit is a little different, and I think that’s how it should be — your pet’s needs shape how I show up, not the other way around. I work remotely as a consultant and student, so my schedule shifts week to week. What stays consistent is this: feeding times, medications, and check-ins happen on schedule regardless of what else I have going on. Those are non-negotiable. For house sitting I’ll be upfront during our meet and greet about what my week looks like so you know exactly what to expect. If I’m in a lighter work week I may be home most of the day. If it’s a heavier one, your pet will still be cared for on schedule with daily updates and photos so you’re always in the loop. I send daily check-ins and photo updates through the app — not because I have to, but because I’d want the same if it were my pet. In your home, my goal is to keep things as close to normal as possible. I follow your lead on space, boundaries, and routines — whether that means crate time, free roam, or somewhere in between. You know your pet best and I’m here to honor that. My activity style matches the pet. Some animals want to play and roughhouse, others want a warm body nearby while they nap. I pay attention to what they’re telling me and respond accordingly — no forcing, no overstimulating, no ignoring. For cats specifically I understand that trust is earned on their timeline, not mine. I’ll be present and available without being intrusive, and I’ll make sure their food, water, litter, and any medications are handled consistently every single day. For dogs I make sure they’re getting outside regularly, staying on their feeding schedule, and getting the kind of engagement that fits their energy level.
“Andrea is amazing! She has been walking my dachshund Penny Monday-Friday for the past few weeks and what a difference it has made. Penny was displaying severe separation anxiety which haD led to destructive behavior. I was at the point of crating her during the day which I didn’t want to do. Andrea came in at the right time with patience and love. I am now returning the crate I bought because the destruction has stopped. I highly recommend her.”

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and understand the basic of animal husbandry. My passion for animals mixed with my background in veterinary medicine allows me the opportunity to service clients who have pets with medical needs. I posses skills and knowledge about animals that can directly be applied to the wellbeing of your pets while they are in my care. As vet med student- my schedules are given to us in advance.

Pets will not mingle with any other animals (including my own) unless permission is granted by owners prior to event. I am fully accessible if the owners have any questions ,concerns, or just want updates on how their furry friend is doing.
“This was the first walk with Jessa. She was on time. She’s quite pleasant. Rhys seemed to take to her right off and some initial tugging I think they established the rhythm intend to set up another next week. I have every reason to believe this is a great beginning.”

About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.
About: Currently pet sitting full time. Which gives me the ability for a very flexible schedule to better be able to accommodate owners for brief or extended travel. I have owned cats for as long as I can remember. And often dogs as well. My schedule is fairly flexible, with the ability to work from home. And gives me the ability to cater to your pet care needs :) Every pet- just like every person- is unique and different Also available for house sitting or check ins (with or w/o pets) plant care, mail pick up, etc if needed or wanted. I’d love to have a meet and greet with you and your pet prior to setting up services so you and your pet can get to know me more :) Am currently able to spend time pet sitting for others full time, whether drop ins or house/pet/plant sitting (even if no animals are in the home) for short or long periods- whatever the need may be. Typically traveling to clients. I can stay in home w your pet for whatever period of time you prefer, drop by however often, or adjust however is needed. I am hopeful to be able to host pets at my home soon as well.

“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”

About: I love animals of all sizes-I've been petsitting since I was 14 and loved every second of it. My main clients were two 100+ lb mastiffs. I prefer potty trained dogs. I am athletic and would be able to do longer walks for dogs that need it, and shorter, more tame walks for older or less athletic dogs. I will be able to take your pets to a park or the groomers. I am a recent graduate of UWRF looking for work before I go to grad school. I prefer to stay close to River Falls. For house sitting I can stay overnights and will be able to dedicate plenty of time to your beloved family members. I am currently working 4 days a week as a graduate assistant. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for overnight care. I do have my own dog and cat, so boarding visits are preferred for those days. I am happy to stop over before and after work to visit and care for your pet. I treat my personal pet with devotion, respect, and love. I will treat your pets the exact same way. I respect pet boundaries and am a big fan of positive reinforcement, whether it be clicker training, praise-based, or treat-based training.
“Anthony did a great job of keeping me updated on how Leia was doing, with plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell that he was spending quite a bit of time with her, and truly enjoying having her there. This gave me comfort in knowing that she was being cared for and having quality interaction with her caretaker. Thanks Tony!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the service my pup received during her stay. Aiden was communicative and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. I received pics of her enjoying herself and it took the stress away that she was getting the attention she loves and craves. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Toni took amazing care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated, gave our pup lots of love and attention, and made us feel completely at ease. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Toni!”
