“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“Hutch received fantastic care from Mariah and Max and definitely made a couple of new 4-legged friends during his stay. They were also very friendly and very flexible when it came to drop-off/pick-up times, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“I was so happy to find Kathy. My dog Ashley was able to stay in a nice and clean home similar to hers and made friends along the way. Kathy is very much a dog lover I was not worried about Ashley at all. A very good feeling. I will definitely leave her again when I am back in area”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“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.”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”

I understand the stress of leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I am here to provide peace of mind while ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaly friend receives the love, attention, and professional care they deserve. I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

“Haley was great! She made sure our cat had plenty of snuggles while we were away, and it gave us such peace of mind to know she was watching over everything at our house.”
“Jacq was amazing! I really appreciated that she was able to do a meet-and-greet with short notice. My cat liked her right away, and Jacq sent some great pictures petting and playing with her. Very quick to respond to messages, and clearly loves animals. She did a great job, would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve cared for my great-aunt’s cat, who is basically her baby, so I know how important it is to have someone you really trust with your pets! I would spend time with him during the day, feed him, clean his litter box, and keep him company. I’ve also watched my grandparents’ Ragdoll cats. I genuinely love animals and will always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention!
“There are not enough good things I can say about Savannah. Truly. She took amazing care of mine and my wife's 3 cats. After having back-to-back issues with 2 different sitters from Rover, it's amazing to know there are those that do actually care, and take what they do seriously. She went above and beyond for things that were never asked, or even expected. She was caring, respectful, and most importantly, understands cats, because she has 1 of her own. Our 3 cats are boys, and are all black. That's a challenge within itself. We left clear easy to follow instructions, and she took them and ran with it. Our cats trusted her early on, they didn't really hide the first time she came over, and that speaks volumes on its own. We will absolutely rebook her for the future. Thank you so much for taking great care of our Buddies Savannah!”
“Paula did an excellent job taking care of our cats. During her drop-in visits she was very thorough and kept us informed. She is also a caring professional, and I highly recommend her.”
“Madelynn is an amazing animal caregiver! She took such great care of our cats while we were on our trip. We have 2 cats that are particularly shy and she was able to get them to come out and play. She has a kindness and a way with them! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Susan was amazing with our skittish cats. They looked forward to seeing her every day and were extremely well cared for. Professional and experienced, if you are fortunate enough to book Susan you'll be very pleased.”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of quite a few cats and attuning to every cat’s specific needs! I’ve taken care of a cat that requires medicine with their meals, and I’ve taken care of cat’s where I’m just going over to give them some love and attention when their owner is away during the day. I enjoy taking care of cats and ensuring they are as happy as can be!
“Lily was terrific. She connected with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She stayed in touch with us so we knew how each visit went and we could ask and answer questions. Would definitely have Lily pet sit again.”
About: To sum it all up, I have grown up with animals my entire life from rabbits to horses! I love them all.. I currently have 1 dog that travels with us wherever we go. I am currently in Mt.Pleasant, MI for the next 7 months. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking my pup out for new adventure hikes. I do not work,so my calendar is pretty flexible.I do travel to other states at times and will keep my calendar updated if travel plans are in my future. I currently am not providing home services or home boarding at this time . Possibly in the future . Drop in and walking only at this time.
About: I've never known a home without cats and have spent my entire life caring for them. From energetic kittens to senior cats, I love getting to know each cat's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I understand the importance of respecting a cat's routine and boundaries, and I have experience caring for senior cats who may need extra patience and attention. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Macy did a nice job watching our 2 cats. Our oldest cat needs extra care and she kindly did that with her. She sent photos and updates on their activity twice a day. We would recommend Macy and would use her again.”

“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - 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!”

About: Hi, I’m Robin! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and grew up with both cats and dogs. In addition, I have experience working with fish, rodents, horses, and some reptiles. I love building connections with animals and getting to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and comfort they often require to stay happy and healthy in their golden years. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and in need of a gentler approach, I strive to provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to them. I’m passionate about animal behavior and training, and I’m always interested in learning new techniques. I’ve been actively training my own 2.5-year-old dog and enjoy helping pets build confidence through positive, consistent interactions. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. While I currently work full-time, I am transitioning to self-employment, which will give me much more flexibility and availability for Rover clients. This career change will allow me to dedicate more time to pet care, including drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, and making sure pets receive the attention and companionship they deserve.💖 I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet's routine and any care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, litter box care, and playtime. My priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while building trust at their own pace.
“Brianna was amazing with Willow! She took the time to take pictures on her walks and it was lovely to see the different routes she took her on. I came home to a very happy and chill dog after her three 30-minute walks with Brianna. She was very communicative and accommodating with great attention to detail. I will definitely be requesting her dog care services again. ☺️”

About: I'm a responsible college student with two years of dog walking experience and a lifelong love for animals.

I have my own cat that’s an orange tabby, and I spend a lot of time with my big family, who have multiple pets that I help care for regularly. I love walking animals, giving them baths, and even making homemade treats when I can! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and happy. I make sure they’re fed, walked, given attention, and kept safe—just like I would with my own. I’m attentive, patient, and truly love being around animals.

I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.
“Ava and her boyfriend took my two large dogs out for a walk while I was away. They did a great job. They came within the timeframe we had selected. Ava handled the hot weather and my dogs high energy fine. My dogs seemed happy and relaxed when I got home!”

Will be happy to follow dietary request to ensure healthy and happy stay. We began watching dogs around 10 years ago. We have had the pleasure of taking care of a wide variety of breeds over the years. Dog sitting has always been a family activity that we all enjoy. Transitioning from dog sitting to dog boarding was a logical process with the introduction of Yellow Lab Hudson to our family.

I am attentive, patient, and will ensure your pets get the highest quality care. I am a medical student with plenty of breaks during the days to check in and take care of your pets! I am typically the most free in the mornings prior to noon. I ensure that animal safety is a priority. I make sure that toxic substances or other hazards are out of the pets way so no injury occurs. I will be respectful of your space and only enter areas of your home necessary for pet care.

About: One of the best things about life is our pets. I grew up with three dogs who were my bffs, and I have several friends who have cats. I have tons of experience with house and pet sitting for long durations (several weeks at a time). I am responsible, clean, detail-oriented, and love taking dogs on walkies! Every pet I sit for, I treat as my own and shower them with love and snuggles! I currently work part-time at Home Depot as a cashier and part-time at Olive Garden as a server. If I'm not working, I'm usually watching a movie or show, reading a book, writing poetry, or going on a walk and enjoying this beautiful summer weather! I am constantly tending to what the angel- I mean pet- needs. Whether it's a potty break, a little treat, dinner, a snuggle, I am on the job!

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!
About: Hello! I’m Lily and i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years. My love for animals has always existed but growing up, we did not have an adequate household to take care of a dog. As a kid, I volunteered regularly at a local animal shelter and began pet sitting for friends and neighbors at the age of 13. By the time I was 19, I had saved up enough money and did enough research to get a dog of my own who I absolutely adore! When it comes to caring for your pets, I appreciate any notes on routines, medication instructions (if applicable), or any details that you think I could find useful before caring for your pet to ensure that they have a happy, and most importantly safe stay with me! I have experience with reactive dogs & dogs with separation anxiety. If your dog struggles with either of these challenges please let me know beforehand so I can better meet their needs! I am mainly available on weekends but I can make accommodations for weekdays if you let me know in advance. Please message me for further information! Please message me for information regarding scheduling! I work full time but your fur baby will always be my number one priority while in my care! Lets chat about your dogs likes, dislikes, triggers, and motivators. This information can be essential in setting your dog up for success while staying with me!

About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.

“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.”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”

If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval.

My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
