“I honestly was worried about leaving Lilly for the first time with anyone other than a family member that she knew, never having done it before. Patty invited us over for a meet and greet before Lilly stayed there so we could get her familiar with everything. Then Patty did a great job making her feel at home during her stay so that Lilly acted totally normal when I picked her up just like she was hanging out with old friends while I was gone. I would definitely ask Patty again.”
“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and Darla was perfect for our first time experience! I was having “mom guilt” and Miley had a little anxiety, but we all were pleased in the end. Darla sent pictures and videos throughout the day to assure us that Miley was behaving and not only comfortable but also enjoying her stay. This experience was just for the day but has gave us the comfort of knowing that she will be ok without us, and that it won’t hurt for us to try an overnight or two in the future! We will definitely book with Darla&Marigold again when we’re in the area in the future 😊”
“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”
“Derek did a great job watching our dog for a week. He has an awesome place with a nice fenced in back yard. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with him and will use him again in the future.”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“Rebecca is amazing with dogs. My izzi had never been away from home or around other dogs. She introduced her slowly to the others and she ended up making several friends over the long weekend. She was so happy to see us, but she was having so much fun, I don't think she really wanted to leave. I would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone who needs a loving second home foe their fir babies. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and currently have both a dog and a kitten of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets! I work in healthcare, which has made me very responsible, attentive, and detail oriented. I have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving environment while keeping you updated for peace of mind :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and kitten every day. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. Because I work in healthcare, I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to reliably commit to the pets I’m caring for. I make sure to dedicate quality time for visits, walks, and check-ins so pets aren’t rushed and receive my full attention. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I prioritize consistency, safety, and making sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can keep their environment as consistent and stress free as possible. This includes feeding schedules, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely while giving pets companionship and reassurance while their family is away. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with supervision and structured routines so pets feel secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own!
“Kelli was wonderful with our lab! Zeus fit right into her family and was immediately at home with them. She has three boys who gave Zeus plenty of love. And Kelly did a great job updating me with photos throughout our vacation. We had so much peace of mind with Zeus in her care. We will definitely use Kelli again!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie did an amazing job watching our baby. She made me feel comfortable and Sutton warmed up to her very fast. I highly recommend her and will be using again. Sutton I think misses Jamie’s family as well now that we have her home!”
About: I don’t have “professional” pet sitting experience but I do have personal experiences. My grandmother had puppies that I helped caring for them. She had two shih Tzu puppies that I loved like they were my own. Sadly, they both passed away around the same time. I know how important it is to take care of your pets because pets are more like family than animals. So, I hope that you will trust me enough to take care of your family. I will listen to what you need to me to do. I can be flexible and go beyond the call of duty if necessary. I am open to learning whatever is necessary to be a great caretaker. I hope you choose me. Thank you very much❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. I work in the evenings. So, I’m free every morning. I can take your pet out for walks or dog sit overnight. My schedule can be flexible I can take your pet out for walks or I can dog sit at night. If your pet needs a companion, I can do that also
About: Experienced with all kinds of dogs. I grew up with an 8lb maltese and went to boarding school where I frequently took care of a golden doodle and a pitbull/boxer puppy. Spent a summer with my brothers dog (pitbull mix), dogsat 2 older dogs for a summer (golden and mini doodle) and also have some experience taking care of cats. I’ve had experience with over hyper dogs and anxious dogs so I know how to adjust their environment to make them most comfortable. I live in a small apartment but I am right next to a park and enjoy exercising/being outside. I am currently working Monday through Friday from 7-4:30 so I am not generally available till 5:30 on a weekday. I’m available on the weekends! I have no pets of my own so your pet will be getting my full attention. I live down the road from a large park and there are many walking paths nearby. For overnights, I do have a smaller apartment so I wouldn’t want to take any dogs larger than ~40lbs as it likely would not be enough room for them.

“Allyson went above and beyond, truly!! I feel beyond lucky to have found her! We have 4 cats, 2 that are kittens and they are our babies! We could clearly tell that the cats had been well taken care of. When we got home we noticed that the litter stayed cleaned and the cats were completely normal, as in they stayed on schedule and happy ?? One of the kittens had a scratch above her eye and Allyson kept a close eye on her healing and overall well being. Her messages were kind and reassuring. For the first time in a while we felt completely comfortable and assured that the kitties were in good hands while we were away. Excited to have Allyson now we all love her! ?”

About: I am very well adapted to dogs of all ages, puppies and senior "puppies". Taking care of them since the age 12. Even all breeds. I run my own business so I have much flexibility for play time, potty breaks walks social time and much cuddling. Even training if needed. If dog sitting in my home the crate is available or they would have free roam of my home, outdoors would be on a leash as I do not have a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve been obsessed and very passionate about animals ever since I was very young. I have experience in owning many animals from fish, birds and reptiles to dogs and cats and loved all of them the same. I’m very good at leash training and teaching simple tricks such as sit, shake, lay and roll over! I go for long hikes daily with my dog who is beyond nice and has never had a problem with the 10+ dogs he’s been around in his life, if anything he enjoys any company and is very gentle. I’m open everyday for a few hours maybe more depending on the day and there’s usually a few days out of the week that I’m completely free. I try to respect whatever the owner of the animal would like. Whether that’s not taking their dog for too long of walks, not letting them on furniture, etc.. I try to stick to their natural regimen so that way they act accordingly for their owners. I work from home so pet sitting is something that helps me financially and mentally! I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since I can remember. I treat my client’s dog as if it is my own in every way. Unless any special directions are given, for example not sitting on furniture, no jumping on people, etc…
About: Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’ve had all types of animals while growing up from hose pets to reptiles to farm animals ! I work 3rd shifts at Pinerest in Grand Rapids, I work Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and every other weekend. My boyfriend is home every Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I have a kitty of my own! So we have extra litter boxes and a dog park outside our complex! Lots of toys for all animals as well!
About: My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love! I am working part-time from home and no longer have a pet in the home, so my schedule allows me to take time for pet care during the week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve volunteered at the ASPCA, to walking my neighbors dogs, to taking in my sisters dog in when she moved away, sadly she passed away last year and I’ve had a hole in my heart ever since. So I figured joining Rover would be a great way to start filling that void I have! I have a lot of extra time on my hands! I just moved to Georgia a few months back! I’m in school online but it still leaves alot of free time for me so why not have someone’s fur baby around to keep me company! I love to continue the schedule pawrents have for their animals already or I can start a good schedule for them to start following if you would like! And we will definitely go on walks every time they come! I do have a fenced in back yard so your fur baby will have a lots of room to play and run around! And feel free to bring their beds or cages and toys if needed! I know having something comfortable or familiar around is great for making them feel at home!

My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and give them the same love and care I give my own!
“Maggie is terrific! She's on time, very caring of my Tommy and always gives me a report on how he did. Maggie is also a professional when it comes to managing her animal care business, which is something I appreciate.”
About: I have been watching animals for over 13 years now and there has never been an animal I haven't been able to connect with. It's truly a gift, that clients have recognized throughout my services. Being able to connect with animals and taking care of them is my passion; they are truly our saviors! I am gig worker who gets to set their own schedule. I really have an open schedule for various animal care needs. Also this allows more time with your animal! I have a fenced in back yard and a safe, clean home. I am a relaxed and easy-going person, I will treat your house with respect and care, making no messes.
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog lover who’s passionate about giving pups of all ages the care, attention, and fun they deserve. Whether your furry friend is a playful puppy or a mellow senior, I tailor each visit to their needs—lots of belly rubs, walks, playtime, and cozy downtime included. I’m very active and love spending quality time outdoors, so your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise (if that’s their style!). On weekends especially, I make sure they feel like the center of my world—with all the snuggles, adventures, and treats they could want. I’d love to be your pup’s second favorite human—right after you, of course. Let’s make your dog’s weekend the best part of their week! I work remotely one day a week, have relatively flexible hours, and most weekends are completely free—perfect for giving your pup plenty of attention, care, and playtime. Whether it’s a weekday drop-in or a weekend stay, I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s needs and routine! Whether you’re looking for someone to stay at your home, take your pet into mine, or do a drop-in visit I can ensure you that your pet is being taken care of.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs over the past seven years. I have experience with everything from puppies needing structure and training, to senior dogs who require extra physical support and patience. I’m very comfortable with daily walking, establishing good leash manners, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I’ve also cared for pets who require medications and special attention, and I’m confident adapting to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Several clients have consistently given me positive feedback about the level of care, attention, and trust I provide, which is something I take a lot of pride in. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work in a school district in a full-time role, along with a part-time job that has flexible hours. During the school year, I typically have more availability on weekends and can provide care around my work schedule. I also have one week off approximately every six weeks, which allows for additional flexibility and availability during those times. In the summer, my hours become more flexible as I work fewer hours overall, which gives me even more availability throughout the week. Because of this, I’m able to consistently provide reliable care, including walks, check-ins, and in-home pet sitting depending on the client’s needs. I’m committed to making sure each pet receives attentive, dependable care that fits smoothly into both my schedule and the owner’s needs. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where I stay with the pets to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and reduce stress while their owners are away. I do not have a fenced yard, so all care and exercise is provided through structured walks and supervised outdoor time. I am very attentive during walks and prioritize safety at all times. I am also comfortable caring for pets in my own home if needed, as I rent a pet-friendly space that allows animals. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, cared for, and well looked after in whichever setting I’m providing care.

“I honestly was worried about leaving Lilly for the first time with anyone other than a family member that she knew, never having done it before. Patty invited us over for a meet and greet before Lilly stayed there so we could get her familiar with everything. Then Patty did a great job making her feel at home during her stay so that Lilly acted totally normal when I picked her up just like she was hanging out with old friends while I was gone. I would definitely ask Patty again.”
“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and Darla was perfect for our first time experience! I was having “mom guilt” and Miley had a little anxiety, but we all were pleased in the end. Darla sent pictures and videos throughout the day to assure us that Miley was behaving and not only comfortable but also enjoying her stay. This experience was just for the day but has gave us the comfort of knowing that she will be ok without us, and that it won’t hurt for us to try an overnight or two in the future! We will definitely book with Darla&Marigold again when we’re in the area in the future 😊”
“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”
“Derek did a great job watching our dog for a week. He has an awesome place with a nice fenced in back yard. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with him and will use him again in the future.”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
About: I have experience crate and potty training puppies, litter box training, and can assist with basic obedience training. I am comfortable administering medication as directed, and can ensure adherence to veterinary recommendations (ie. wearing a cone, frequent walks/potty breaks, etc). I work limited part time (10 hrs/wk) and already have a solid routine with my own pets, so caring for yours would be easy to manage! I live in a two story home with a finished basement. Some areas in the home are gated off for safety. Our property is fully fenced in. Our home has young children, as well as our own friendly pets: a 5yo female Golden Retriever and two adult male cats. All our animals are fixed/spayed. We enjoy lots of playtime, walking, and running to help get the energy out.
“Rebecca is amazing with dogs. My izzi had never been away from home or around other dogs. She introduced her slowly to the others and she ended up making several friends over the long weekend. She was so happy to see us, but she was having so much fun, I don't think she really wanted to leave. I would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone who needs a loving second home foe their fir babies. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelli was wonderful with our lab! Zeus fit right into her family and was immediately at home with them. She has three boys who gave Zeus plenty of love. And Kelly did a great job updating me with photos throughout our vacation. We had so much peace of mind with Zeus in her care. We will definitely use Kelli again!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
“Jamie did an amazing job watching our baby. She made me feel comfortable and Sutton warmed up to her very fast. I highly recommend her and will be using again. Sutton I think misses Jamie’s family as well now that we have her home!”
About: I don’t have “professional” pet sitting experience but I do have personal experiences. My grandmother had puppies that I helped caring for them. She had two shih Tzu puppies that I loved like they were my own. Sadly, they both passed away around the same time. I know how important it is to take care of your pets because pets are more like family than animals. So, I hope that you will trust me enough to take care of your family. I will listen to what you need to me to do. I can be flexible and go beyond the call of duty if necessary. I am open to learning whatever is necessary to be a great caretaker. I hope you choose me. Thank you very much❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. I work in the evenings. So, I’m free every morning. I can take your pet out for walks or dog sit overnight. My schedule can be flexible I can take your pet out for walks or I can dog sit at night. If your pet needs a companion, I can do that also
About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.
“Justice did amazing with our Crown! He came home happy and healthy! She sent photos and videos. We would love for her to watch him again and also have play dates! Highly recommend! ?”
“I have been using Rover for the past ten years. From walks and drop in visits to vacations and play dates, connecting to sitters through Rover has been an integral part in raising these boys. In all my years with this app I have never met a more attentive, communicative and reliable person than Taylor. Taylor put me at such ease with her thorough updates and ability to administer medication to my sick dog with ease. I can’t recommend her enough, she is exceptional, and goes above-above-above and beyond.”
