“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”

“It’s always a 5/5 experience with Erin! Our pup loves going there and she gives him so much love. This past time he wasn’t feeling too well before we dropped him off so Erin kept a close eye on him and sent us extra pictures/videos which put us more at ease. Absolutely recommend!”

“It was my first time having Kathy take care of my pup while we went out of town. While he was excited to see me when I picked him up, he continued to follow Kathy around - a good sign he was well cared for! She sent pictures and gave me updates on how things were going during his stay and I appreciated that. I would definitely have her watch Domino again.”
“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy again!”

“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”


“Joni is amazing! The first time I met her she told me she likes the dogs to feel like they’re on vacation too. My dogs had a wonderful time. Everyday I received a picture and video showing me what the dogs were up to. That was especially nice. She managed to get one of my dogs into the pool. And of course she has life jackets for my little dogs. Would highly recommend her.”

“Our dog Lola always has a fantastic time staying with Bennet! She is extremely communicative and sends the cutest photos throughout her stay. We always book with Bennet when we need a dog sitter. Cant recommend enough!”


“Highly recommend! Our two dogs had a wonderful overnight stay. We received updates and photos throughout their visit, which made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. The care and attention they received were outstanding, and they came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely book again!”

“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”

“Sabrina along with her husband and children spoiled chance all weekend. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup. I’ve loved getting all of the pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Sabrina for any of your pet care needs.”

“If you are looking for someone to take care of ur little baby just like the way you do at home, Mariah and Max are the ones!! They took such excellent care of Jorge while we went on vacation and Jorge had an absolute awesome time with their dog tucker! They also did an awesome job sending us pictures and updates!! You know that they had a good time when they are sad leaving the sitters and that was def Jorge! Will def visit again!”

“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”

“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”

“Literally the BEST person for our senior pup! She sent multiple daily updates, treated him really well, and basically spoiled him rotten! She even asked questions about his needs and wants. She referred to herself as “granny” for Benji, and by the end of his stay, Benji and I both agreed that she’s his granny! Ive never used this app before and she was my first person to try boarding with, and it was awesome. Will 100% come back if I need a sitter and 100% recommend her. :)”

“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone on rover. We previously left our dog at a boarding place and she didn’t do well at all, was sick didn’t eat etc. We decided leaving her with someone who would be with her most of the time would be best for us. We met with Ralph prior to her stay. He answered all of our questions and he asked good questions as well, so that he got to know her before taking care of her. Ralph watched our dog for 7 days and she did so well! He sent photos and updates and was quick to respond if we reached out for additional updates/questions. Ralph made sure he was home as much as possible for an entire week even saying he went grocery shopping prior to ensure he had groceries and wouldn’t have to leave her alone. We are so happy to have met someone who we can trust and know will take good care of our dog as if it’s his own. We definitely plan to use him again for our next vacation.”

“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”

I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also. I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard. My three children would give snuggles and tire your pup out during the day. If you have a less social dog I also have a quiet place for your pet to relax. I am working part time. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-4:00. My summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:30am-12:00pm. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday I would be home all day. My schedule allows me to be available to care for your pet and give the plenty of my time and attention. We love dogs and have two of our own. They are part of our family. We would treat your pet as part of our family while they stayed with us. Message me for any additional information or questions you may have.

“Jennifer is a pet lover doggies and kittens. She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. She is trust worthy and went above and beyond staying to give our cats love and was flexible feeding our special needs cats and giving medication. We will definitely be hiring Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer!”

“I have been so happy with her and can’t say enough about how great she has been. She responds promptly and is great at keeping us up to date with our fur babies. Would recommend her to everyone”
“Suzanne H. was willing to care for my pets, even over holiday week. So grateful someone dependable and professional looked after them so we could enjoy the week. She has been so easy to work. Pets did great.”

“Shannon was a great companion for my pet while I was away. She even accommodated me when travel troubles delayed my return home and checked on my cat for an extra day. I really appreciate her communication and readiness to help!”


About: I have three cats of my own— Simba, Indy, and Lilith. One of my cats is special needs. I am very familiar with the ins and outs of proper care for cats, and am also well versed on giving medication. I also volunteer and sit on the board of directors for a local cat rescue!
“Madeline did a wonderful job caring for our Mac.She was very attentive to his need for lots of attention. She communicated well with us and sent us sweet photos of her visits.”


About: The second I moved out of my parent’s house I chose to get a pet cat. For the past almost 4 years we have grown so close together. I’ve learned through friends and meeting other cats, that each cat has their own VERY distinct personality and boundaries. I love to learn about each cat I meet and figure how we best mesh while we are together.

“Maryssa is fantastic with my dogs, Turbo and Daisy! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. She even checks on my horses while she’s there, which means a lot to me. It’s such a relief knowing all my animals are in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple cats ranging from all sizes and breeds. I have a huge heart for our furry friends. I currently have 4 cats as part of my family, so I understand the importance of taking care of your cat with love and compassion.
About: I care for every pet like my own, because if it was me, I would want someone to do the same. With my own senior dog I have extra care and patience to fit all their needs I currently work 7:30-4 Monday through Thursday. So my best availability is at night or during the weekends! Availability can vary depending on request and location. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am able to take your fur baby out on a leash if necessary, although caring for your pet at their own home would be preferred!

About: I finally talked my mom and Grandma into letting me have a cat when I was 15. I named her Simpson, and despite her lowly birth, she was a divine fluffy black and white princess. Her warm welcome included oral dewormer, a bath, a good brushing, a nail trim, and topical flea treatment. I have since gained experience trimming nails and applying flea medication/preventative to cats other than my own. I love engaging kitties in play, a relaxing brush session, or simply finding which unconventional places they prefer most to nap in. I will carefully measure food, or make sure a bowl is never empty. Scooping litter is a breeze, and I can scrub a box with the best of them. I am no stranger to cleaning hairballs and vomit, but if your cat is likely to make a mess I would like to know where the cleaning supplies are kept and what you'd like me to use. I respect their autonomy and will snuggle those who request it, and leave be the ones who prefer to be left alone. If your feline friend longs for the outdoors, please provide instructions on how to best ensure they stay inside- I WILL cry if your cat escapes on my watch.

“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

“Sabrina is very communicative about my baby and Jenny has a fantastic time at her house. I love seeing the pictures of Jenny and her son playing together as well as her little pup. She’s a godsend. I highly recommend Sabrina.”

“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies.

Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years!

“Vickie is the best! We were about 45 minutes later than expected, and she was very understanding about it. I wish the app didn’t limit how much we can tip, she deserves much more.”


“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni. She was very accommodating for our rescue dog that has separation anxiety. Cruiser even got along very well with the other visiting dog. We will definitely use Joni again when we are back in the area. By the way, she makes FANTASTIC Amish friendship bread!!!! Thank you so much Joni.”

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.

About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible.

I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.

If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I have a passion for animals and love to make them feel part of my family. I’m currently in respiratory school while working a part-time job, which has helped me develop strong responsibility and time-management skills. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them whenever I can. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I accept cats and dogs that are able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. I feel like as someone with animals the safest place an animals can feel is when they’re in the comfort of their own homes.
About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies. It's better for them to be entertained than to be caged out tripping up your home.... Right. I have a fenced in yard. Plenty of toys.... And a friendly little boxer who loves me friends. Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with a deep love for pups of all kinds. While new to professional walking, I’ve spent years caring for and walking my own dogs. I treat every dog like family—safe, happy, and tail-wagging guaranteed! I'm currently in college with a mostly online schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pups with lots of walks and snuggles! Safety and comfort always comes first. I always follow any instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and give each pet plenty of love and attention. I aim to create a calm, trustworthy space where pets feel safe, happy, and at ease—just like they would with family.
About: I have had cats my entire life and have helped care for all of them. I have always loved dogs so much I jump on an opportunity to spend time with them! I work from home, so I will be available all different times of day depending on what is necessary for your fur babies! I am able to work with whatever the animals current schedule is easily. As far as care in a clients home I am able to do whatever is needed to make the animal comfortable and happy. Putting them in their crate, feedings, walks, potty breaks, attention, play time, giving them medicine in pill or food form, etc.
About: I have had pets in my house my whole life. We had cats, dogs, horses, fish, and a mouse over the years. I am a sport dog trainer so I have tons of experience with dogs. I have trained multiple puppies and taken care of many senior dogs. I also exercise my dogs regularly so there is no doubt your pet will be well taken care of. I also offer training services and photography of your pets upon request! I am a college student so I spend most of my time at home plus I have a passion for dog training so I love being able to stay home and do what I love I have a house on a quiet street with a large fenced in yard. I have a whole room dedicated to my dogs. I have large crates so your pet can have tons of room wherever they are. I also have a camera in my dog room so I can see them even when I’m not home. All of my dogs are friendly but can be crated when your dog is out if you prefer! My dogs are also good with cats. I have a van with crash tested crates for traveling If needed.
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on being consistent, attentive, and calm with every pet I care for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality, so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m also patient with different needs, whether that’s energetic puppies who need structure and playtime or older pets who may need a slower pace and extra care. I make sure communication with pet owners is clear and reliable so they always know how their pet is doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walking, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my weekly routine feels rewarding rather than stressful. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. If the owner has specific instructions, I always follow them carefully to make sure their pet receives the best care possible.

“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”

“It’s always a 5/5 experience with Erin! Our pup loves going there and she gives him so much love. This past time he wasn’t feeling too well before we dropped him off so Erin kept a close eye on him and sent us extra pictures/videos which put us more at ease. Absolutely recommend!”

“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy again!”

“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”


“Highly recommend! Our two dogs had a wonderful overnight stay. We received updates and photos throughout their visit, which made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. The care and attention they received were outstanding, and they came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely book again!”

“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”

“Sabrina along with her husband and children spoiled chance all weekend. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup. I’ve loved getting all of the pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Sabrina for any of your pet care needs.”

“If you are looking for someone to take care of ur little baby just like the way you do at home, Mariah and Max are the ones!! They took such excellent care of Jorge while we went on vacation and Jorge had an absolute awesome time with their dog tucker! They also did an awesome job sending us pictures and updates!! You know that they had a good time when they are sad leaving the sitters and that was def Jorge! Will def visit again!”

“Jessie and family were amazing with Mya- she loved being there - we could tell she had lots of attention and play time because she was exhausted for the whole evening after she came home. Thank you so much!”

“Literally the BEST person for our senior pup! She sent multiple daily updates, treated him really well, and basically spoiled him rotten! She even asked questions about his needs and wants. She referred to herself as “granny” for Benji, and by the end of his stay, Benji and I both agreed that she’s his granny! Ive never used this app before and she was my first person to try boarding with, and it was awesome. Will 100% come back if I need a sitter and 100% recommend her. :)”

“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone on rover. We previously left our dog at a boarding place and she didn’t do well at all, was sick didn’t eat etc. We decided leaving her with someone who would be with her most of the time would be best for us. We met with Ralph prior to her stay. He answered all of our questions and he asked good questions as well, so that he got to know her before taking care of her. Ralph watched our dog for 7 days and she did so well! He sent photos and updates and was quick to respond if we reached out for additional updates/questions. Ralph made sure he was home as much as possible for an entire week even saying he went grocery shopping prior to ensure he had groceries and wouldn’t have to leave her alone. We are so happy to have met someone who we can trust and know will take good care of our dog as if it’s his own. We definitely plan to use him again for our next vacation.”

“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”

“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.”
