“Sally was great with my pup! Very flexible with my schedule. Lot’s of update pictures and her pups got along great with mine! She took my dog on lots of walks and took great care of him. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was amazing with our 1 year old Lab and we knew she was in good hands for the holiday weekend as soon as we met her! She most definitely is a dog lover, great with communication, sent wonderful pictures and provided welcome feedback. We will most certainly use her again next time we are in her area.”
“Morgan watched my dog for 4 nights while we were out of town and it was so nice knowing that Louie was safe and happy while we were away - the pictures and videos she sent made it obvious he was in good hands and having fun. We will DEFINITELY use her services again.”
“Wanda was exactly what we were looking for! She loves the dogs and takes great care of them in her home. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a few days. I would definitely book her again!”
“Cindy was amazing. I wish we lived closer so we could used her all the time. We told her our dog had accidents and she was very understanding and accommodating. She has a nice back yard and let our dog our often. We could tell our dog was very loved when we came back to pick her up.”
“Heather was amazing! I have a super hard time leaving my pup for any length of time, but Heather made it super easy. Sammy had a blast and learned a lot about self-control!!! She is a great sitter and trainer! He already misses her and her pups! Will for sure rebook in the future!!!!”
About: Being raised on a dairy farm I’ve been around all sorts of animals, big and small. From kittens, chickens, calves, dogs to full size cows I have done it all. I’m a proud owner of two pure bred English Mastiffs, we just whelped our first ever litter of pups! I’m looking to fill spare time in my day doing what I love most! I have always had so much love for all animals. Let me help you by loving your fur babies while you are busy! I’m available almost all the time. Currently I’m a stay at home mom caring for my 3 year old and 2 gentle giants. Weekdays, weekends, nights or mornings, I can be there for you! I have a very large yard(field) and two gentle giants to keep your babies content and happy. Look forward to a clean, exercised and fed pup when you get home! I have a giant crate also if needed.
About: We are a family of 2 kiddos, who love hockey and choir and bellybean brings us all the laughs and cuddles. The Family is easy-going and very understanding of life circumstances. We pride ourselves on personal attention given to your fur babies and adventures outdoors. We currently have one golden retriever who is three years old as of December 2024.

I am available for puppy attention, overnight and long-term care for dogs that are vaccinated and treated for flea and tick. We are busiest in the winter months with personal sports, and open to adventures throughout the year/day with animals included. We have a safe environment. I do keep our bedroom doors closed.

“Jenna was so wonderful with Noodles. She was very prompt with communications and sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jenna, when you need someone to watch over your fur baby.”
About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!
“Audrey was wonderful! We were in a bind last minute and she saved us. Audrey is very responsive, sent pictures of our boy and put my mind at ease. It can be so challenging finding care you trust for your pets but I would absolutely recommend Audrey and would use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds and sizes of animals since a very young age, I love spending my time outdoors all year round no matter the weather! I’ve always had a passion for not just dogs but all types of animals and will continue to always believe animals are better than people.🤍 I’m currently home full time Monday through Sunday (with the exception of appointments, shopping, etc.) and am available from morning to night and even overnight stays! If I care for your fur/scaled/feathered baby in your home I will follow all rules and protocols given to me, as well as spend as much time with them as I possibly can!

About: I always had a dog growing up as a kid. They give me so much happiness and joy, in life. I use to work at a veterinary office as a assistant so I have a lot of experience with all types of animals. ****I am currently a full time healthcare employee**** I will accommodate best I can to your pet needs! I will make your pet feel at home💕 My dog loves to run so I have a big open yard for her to do all that in. I can play outside or inside with the animals. I do work full time as a healthcare employee. I work three 12 hour shifts. I will accommodate the best I can with your schedule. I will follow your pets schedule as provided when we do a meet and greet! I want what’s best for the animal and client. 💗
“Erin did a great job caring for my cats. She is kind and very professional. She did everything I asked and more! I would trust her to help me again in the future and I highly recommend her to other pet owners. 😊”
“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!!”
“Jordan was wonderful! She provided a very safe environment for my kitty while I was away. My kitty was safe along with me having peace of mind that she was in good hands! Jordan provided an update every day with no issues! Thank you so so much! I would absolutely recommend 🙂”
“Patty was a great communicator from start to finish. She kept us informed on our cats and treated our house well. We would definitely let her watch our house and kitties again. Thanks Patty!”
About: The most experience I have with cats is from having two of my own. I raised one since she was a few months old or so. She’s about 4 years old now. I have roughly 4 years or more of cat experience. I still have more to learn with cats and I’m learning every day with my cats at home.
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

“Sally was very welcoming to our two dogs. She communicated with us well and we appreciate having our dogs well taken care of while we toured the area. Would take them to Sally again!”

About: My passion is dogs. I have one doggie right now. She loves other dogs. I have done rescues for years and my joy is too see a doggie get adopted out. I once put my dog in a daycare and thank goodness there were cameras to watch her. She was terrified, so I will never do that again. It's hard to find a good place for your dog to stay if you can't take them with you. This is why I want to pursue being with Rover.com, so I can help pet owners be at ease when they have to leave their pets. Please consider me! You won't be disappointed. I love big, medium and small sized dogs. I want you go enjoy your time and know your doggie is in good hands. I am retired, so I am available at all times. I love watching dogs. I truly communicate with doggies so well. I would ask you give me a chance. I walk them on a leash. I also will pet sit at your house. I will crate them if need be. You will find I am one of the best pet sitters.
“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover. She responded quickly to all of our messages and our pug was in good shape when we went to pick her up. I definitely recommend Lucie for pet care. She's great!”
“Persephone had so much fun at Wanda's house. She would get excited to go every morning for day care and Wanda's Tripp is a sweetheart. Whenever I'm back in Cadillac I'll contact Wanda.”
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic! A last minute doggy daycare request turned into a great time for our puppy! Jenna was great at adhering to his schedule, provided lots of photos and updates, and was so excited to watch him! Will definitely be using Jenna again!”

About: I have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time, and a online class. I can work with your animal Thursday after I get done working till Sunday. Maybe other days depending how close you are. I love on your animal like it was my own. I will send pictures of them if you want updates. Follow the directions you give me on what and when you feed them.
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for decades. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets. I do have a dog of my own. I am retired so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Give me a try. I’m looking g forward to it. Thank you. I have one small dog named Gracie. I would walk your dog on a leash. Attention given to your pet. Thank you for your business.
About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.
