About: I have extensive volunteer experience at animal control, 4 years as an animal care technician, and have always had pets of my own. No dog is too much to handle. High energy? Great, let's run. Old timer? That's okay, we can hang out at home. Little puppy? No worries, I can practice training basic commands. I have managed to harmoniously share my life with 3 dogs, 4 cats, bunnies and chinchillas. I would be glad to spread that love to your furry family. No two dogs or cats are alike, so why provide cookie-cutter care? With me, your dog will be provided one of a kind exceptional care. On top of it all, I can take some pretty cute pictures. No worries if your pet is independent or prefers a quiet environment, we are able to separate the house into different wings. At this time I am working from 7-3:30 Monday-Friday, the rest of my time is spent at home with my pets where I am available to provide the same care I will never put your pet in a situation they are not comfortable with and promise to provide what they need for their safety whether it's personal space, a gated off room, time in a crate or social play time with my owns dogs

About: I spent five years working at a veterinary clinic, which gave me a lot of hands‑on experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m very comfortable handling shy or nervous cats, seniors, and cats who need medication or extra monitoring. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on making sure they feel safe and understood. My background helps me notice small changes in behavior and provide steady, compassionate care that keeps cats comfortable while their people are away.

About: My partner has two cats, and I LOVE them both. One of them, Matty, has a lot of special needs we accommodate for such as dietary needs due to upset stomach and slight temperament issues I have learned to calm him down from.

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and currently work as a dog groomer in Okemos! I’ve cared for animals all my life. This includes cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, sheep and I even have two geckos! I have shown cows and sheep at the county fair, so don’t worry if you have a large dog that likes to pull or play tug of war! I worked at an animal shelter dealing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I hang out with my siblings often who also have dogs, a cane corso and two elkhound mixes, and we’ve had labs and pomeranians in the past. I have experience giving oral/topical medications to dogs, cats, sheep, and cows. I am also open to taking care of any other pets or farm animals you may have! I work 4-5 days a week at Dog Gone Fun in Okemos. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask! I have cared for a variety of dogs- different breeds, all ages, all temperaments. I grew up with dogs my whole life (among other animals), and I have learned a lot from my experiences about how to read an animals body language.
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Karen is fantastic, I can’t recommend her more! She’s by far the most professional sitter I’ve had from Rover and my normally shy cat loved her. I definitely plan on scheduling with her again if we can!”
About: Caring for pets has been an integral and rewarding part of my life, yielding a robust skillset perfectly suited for in-home animal care. My comprehensive experience, which includes fostering over 20 dogs and working directly at an animal rescue, has equipped me with exceptional proficiency in behavioral observation, managing specialized routines, and quickly establishing trust with animals in a new or private setting. My expertise spans various temperaments and breeds, from high-energy puppies requiring consistent training and socialization to elderly cats needing patient, gentle handling and comfort. I am highly comfortable providing detailed, individualized care. I pride myself on my ability to quickly understand an animal's non-verbal cues and maintain their sense of routine and security within the comfort of their own home, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being remains the absolute top priority while providing clear, professional communication to their owners. My current commitments and demands provide me an ideal schedule that will allow for me to focus on providing quality in-home care care to your furry family members. My goal is to provide a worry-free experience for you while you are away. Daily Updates: I send regular updates (usually after each key visit) via text or a preferred app. These updates include photos and/or videos so you can see your pet happy and healthy. Detailed Log: I maintain a log noting the time of feeding, walks, potty breaks (and noting any unusual stools), and medication given. This ensures consistency for multi-day bookings and provides a record for the owner. Immediate Notification: In the unlikely event of any noticeable change in behavior, appetite, or health, I contact the owner immediately, following the pre-arranged emergency protocol. In short, I treat your pets and your home with the passion, consistency, and respect I would give my own family
“I once again used Molly as my pet sitter and she was absolutely amazing! My cats seem to truly thrive when she comes by and she is very reliable. The updates she provides are great and I always know my cats are in safe hands when she’s there. She’s great!!”
About: I have cared for cats for over a decade now and I have experience with the skittish, shy, brave and curious kind. My own cats are adventurous and shy respectively and while they are getting old they are still plenty of fun to be around.
About: I grew up with golden retrievers and have watched neighbor’s pets since I was 14. I just recently graduated from veterinary school and am waiting to start my job. I can handle basic at home medical care for your pets and can catch signs of illness to bring to your attention. Your pets are in good hands! My class schedule changes daily, but I am available most afternoons during the week and am available most weekends. Please just let me know when care is needed and I will try to figure it out. I cannot board any animals as I have my own cat who can be wary of new animals in the home, but I am happy to stay at your home if needed.
About: I grew up with a chocolate lab, 2 cats, and currently have my own cat. I miss dogs, so this will help me fill the hole for now! I’m currently working full time, but looking for some side gigs to start saving for a house with my husband! Recently got married this month! I take care of other people’s pets like my own, pets are family and they need to be treated as such. All treated with love and care.

“Kimberly was super flexible and great with our 7 month old pup, Maggie! She communicated well with us ahead of time and made the whole process smooth as we were navigating Rover for the first time. Her dog Sparky got along great with our dog and Maggie was nice and tired out in the evening. Thanks again!”
“We are the first timer as we are new to this place with no reference. We took a decision to go with Dustin and Sarah with our gut feeling and it turned out to be such an amazing experience.

Her utmost priority is safety of the dogs in her care, which also made me feel very comfortable! Thank you so much, Alice :)”

About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs for about 30 years. I can train puppy and adult dog in basic obedience. For senior dogs will be more attentive and show love. If you have a special need's dog such as leg wheelchair or any type of disability and I would love to learn how to take care of it. I will love them back with all my heart. I understand their disabilities and will give them a great care at 100%. I'm working a part-time on flexible days. I still find time to spends with dogs. I love to play with your fur babies. I will walk the fur babies on a daily routine. I use leach in the backyard since there is no fence yard. I live in a townhouse and do not have fence yard. I use 20 feet leach attached to my deck. I will take them to the dog parks, which I enjoyed to see them run and play.

We needed somewhere to put our dogs for an evening for my daughters graduation from MSU and a few hiccups came up along the way and Alex was able to accommodate a few last minute changes. She sent us pictures and videos so we would know the animals had settled in. Definitely would recommend her.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently unemployed, so I am available almost 24/7 to care for your pet(s)! My schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover currently studying Zoology, with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all personalities. I share my home with my Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bear, three cats, and several degus, and I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, and sensitive animals. The only pets I’m not able to care for are spiders or tarantulas due to arachnophobia, but all other animals will be cared for with patience, respect, and the same love I give my own. While attending college online for my Zoology degree, I maintain a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care and meet a variety of client needs. I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day and week. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on exercise, enrichment, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, while closely following any specific instructions. For in-home sitting or boarding, I provide a structured routine, close supervision, positive reinforcement, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.
“Quinn ran in the door heading straight for the toys Yulia had prepared. He enjoyed himself, went right to sleep as soon as we got home. We will definitely check if Yulia is available if we need day care in Michigan again.”
“Emily took my puppy on short notice for daycare. My puppy stepped right into Emily's house, found toys and felt right at home. I was worried about her because it was her first time without me but she had a blast with Emily and her dog Mac. Best of all, she was tired after all of their adventures when I picked her up from Emily's house!”

My days are filled with feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring Ollie feels secure and loved. This experience has taught me tons about patience and responsibility, and I'm all about understanding each dog's unique needs to keep them comfortable and active. I'm committed to following your specific instructions to a T, so your furry friend stays on their normal routine and feels right at home with me. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 PM. I am also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and I'm happy to work around your schedule as much as possible to make things convenient for you. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets by keeping a clean and secure home. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in dogs and will always prioritize their well-being. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but otherwise, they'll have plenty of space to roam and relax. I'm dedicated to providing an stress-free experience.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, from small ones to, well, for lack of a better word, titan ones. While I have not necessarily trained or cared for puppies, I have cared for dogs who were very very young. I am in between jobs right now and I enjoy finding excuses to spend time with animals, no matter what species they are. I have finished this semester's classes already and am open to any manner of dates to watch a mutt, feline or lizard. I have 2 cats that live with me at the moment but other than that, I have a modest living area, but I do not have a fence on the property.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, dogs and cats. I know what it takes to put trust in someone else for their care, I can be that person. I’m recently laid off and have decided I’d rather my time be spent caring for your animals. I love long walks, playtime, and routine. Give me a call! I love my home and my pets, that is my life. When stepping into your home and caring for your pet, I promise to provide the same love and care as though it’s my own. I’m honest, reliable, and respectful.
About: I was raised with dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of breeds and ages.

Since adopting her as a senior, I have gained experience giving her a variety of medications and dealing with different quirks and challenges. I love both cats and dogs, and would love the chance to get to know your pets!

About: I grew up as a kid taking care of our family dog, taking her on walks, playing with her outside, and all the other things that come with dogs. I now have several cats and play with them, clean their litter, and everything that a cat needs and loves. I eventually would love a dog of my own one day and want the experience to prepare myself! I work at a school and have the summer off, so I currently have all the time in the world and most days and times available. In my home, I make sure to give all of my pets attention throughout the day. When they want pets, I give them pets; when they want to be left alone, I give them space. They come to me for love and affection and I love them with my whole heart.

“Alice took care of our dog during our trip this summer. She was sending us pictures every day. She took our dog to dog park almost every day. She even cooked food for him. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We absolutely love Alice ❤️.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
About: I've grown up with spayed/unspayed dogs, tiny and medium sized, and have bathed them throughout the years. I'm less experienced with cats as I wasn't allowed one as a kid, but I would always play with and look after my friends' cats when I got the chance 😸 I'm currently a student at Michigan State University, with a part time job as an ice hockey referee. I am usually home 18 hours out of the day most of the days of the week! I live alone in an apartment on an upper floor. 650 sq. ft of space, so it's spacious. There is also an outdoor yard if needed. Caring for your pets will give me breaks between studying and homework! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, and making your pets happy will make me happy! 😊
About: I have extensive volunteer experience at animal control, 4 years as an animal care technician, and have always had pets of my own. No dog is too much to handle. High energy? Great, let's run. Old timer? That's okay, we can hang out at home. Little puppy? No worries, I can practice training basic commands. I have managed to harmoniously share my life with 3 dogs, 4 cats, bunnies and chinchillas. I would be glad to spread that love to your furry family. No two dogs or cats are alike, so why provide cookie-cutter care? With me, your dog will be provided one of a kind exceptional care. On top of it all, I can take some pretty cute pictures. No worries if your pet is independent or prefers a quiet environment, we are able to separate the house into different wings. At this time I am working from 7-3:30 Monday-Friday, the rest of my time is spent at home with my pets where I am available to provide the same care I will never put your pet in a situation they are not comfortable with and promise to provide what they need for their safety whether it's personal space, a gated off room, time in a crate or social play time with my owns dogs
“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”
“Our two senior dogs were well cared for and got along great in the pack. We were very happy with how very well they were cared for. Terrific large fenced in yard. Thank you Brooke!”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Christine took very good care of Cinco. Cinco is an elderly cat, who has special needs. Christine was very good to him. She sent me photos and videos throughout his stay, showing how happy he was. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker/sitter for your pet.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently unemployed, so I am available almost 24/7 to care for your pet(s)! My schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.
“Lauren and her sister, Geneva, were so amazing when caring for our 2 adult cats! They were loving, great with providing pictures, offered solid, clear communication, and were so incredibly flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation! We can tell our girls had a great time and were so loved while we were away!”
“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”
“I was happy with the care she provided for my fur babies!! I felt completely comforted because she sent pics and videos for me to see!! Thank you so much and I will be using her again!!!”
