“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Rishi did a great job, watching Asher. He communicated with us daily and sent great pictures and videos, so my son could see he was doing well and happy. I had no problem or issues with his care.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“I boarded my pup Max for a week at Ellen’s place. She was friendly, professional and took great care of Max. I received updates from her everyday and she was responsive whenever I wanted to check on Max.”
“Rosemary always seems to have a great time and comes back happy. Chris is friendly and easy to work with - really happy to have a place we can count on to board Rose and know she's in great hands. Thank you!”
“Lily had a great time with Olivia. We were away over 2 weeks and could tell that Lily felt safe. We knew she was well cared for. Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
“Jason and Kristen’s family always take such good care of our dog. They are great with communication with daily pics and updates!! They give him lots of care and attention.”
“Kasey was an excellent choice for watching our puppy, Rocky. She provided regular updates throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. When we returned, Rock was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Kasey for pet sitting!”
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 pet care specialist and 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 work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so 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.
“Cari was an excellent sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our pups Seymour and Blackjack with her for the first time. She provided frequent updates and photos that made us feel at ease while we were away. Both of our dogs even came back with a new toy. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“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!!!”
“Alice B. Is the best dog sitter. Alice’s care translates to the pet owner that Alice cares for your pet as if she is the owner. Alice sent pictures of my 4legged baby every day and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my visit with family because Alice B. Gave me so much comfort.”
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter, sending photos & updates during my absence. My pup was happy to see me, but she also loved her time with the resident pup! We definitely want to see Melissa & Chiquita again.”

“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.”
“This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.”

“Kristy really helped us out last minute when we needed someone to take care of our cat for a short trip. She is extremely attentive to our cat’s feeding arrangements, and made sure he got the proper food and water intake due to his condition. She was flexible with our schedule, communicative on a daily basis, and punctual to our meet and greet. I would absolutely request Kristy’s availability for all our future pet-sitting needs and would recommend her to any of our friends and family.”

Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
About: Hello! My name is Jenn and I am a professional pet caregiver and mom dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I am a lifelong pet owner myself with years of experience walking and caring for animals of all sizes. I promise to provide reliable, safe, and loving care and will treat your pet like my own. I am also happy to provide photo updates. I look forward to meeting and providing the best care for your pet!
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 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.
“Was awesome with our cats and did everything to make sure they were taken care of! Our one was hiding and she stayed longer to try to lure her out to feed her and ensure she was okay! Would recommend her and would use again.”
“Laura is awesome! She took the time to meet with us prior to the visit and I knew she would be a perfect match for our two cats, Poppy and Noodle. She played with Poppy who looked to be having fun and was playful with Laura. Laura found the shy Noodle in her hiding spot and snapped a photo. The second day Noodle was out of hiding a little, which gave the chance for another photo but more importantly, showed me that even shy Noodle was comfortable with Laura, which is remarkable! Laura was thorough with her report and a very kind persisted. We appreciate her and will welcome her back!”
“Ive been able to use Molly as a sitter for my 2 cats a few times now and she has been absolutely great! My cats warmed up to her immediately and she has taken great care of them.”

“My dog (Leo) was very happy at Ellen’s. She kept updating me with pictures of Leo. Ellen’s house has a yard which allowed for Leo to run around, which he loves to do. I would definitely recommend Ellen!”

“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!”

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.
“Alice is the absolute best! She does a meet and greet with every dog before caring for them for the first time which made me feel so much comfortable! She has the best yard and is so friendly. I will definitely be using her again! ?”
“Alex was so helpful for us. 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.”
“Thank you! Emily took such good care of Mandi, she loved playing with Mac and going for her walks. This was Mandi's first time in daycare so she was a little nervous. Emily is so nice and so patient, Mandi was able to relax and have fun. I loved getting the update pictures!”
“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”

“Val and Theresa are amazing! They took great care of my puppy and helped with training. He comes home more and more confident in himself. They also send over pictures and videos throughout the day so you can see how your dog is doing. I would 100% book here every single time I need doggy day care or dog boarding. Their two dogs are also very sweet and looked after my puppy as well :)”

I will take them to the dog parks, which I enjoyed to see them run and play.

“Jennifer is a great person who cares for your dog just like they were her own dogs. She asked lots of questions to make sure all of our dogs need were met. We have a pretty hyper dog that needs a lot of time for long walks and Jennifer had no problems taking her for her needed long walks. She also gave lots of doggie snuggles and sent us pictures of our girl while they were out and about. Jennifer is very kind and loving toward our girl and we will most definitely use her any time we are away from home.”
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I could remember. I have been trusted to house and dog sit by family members and I have worked with all sizes and breeds. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University studying Kinesiology. I love staying active and have a passion for animals, so what better than combining the two together?! I currently live with roommates and one small dog. I do not offer boarding services, but I do love living and caring for animals on a daily basis.

I have the unique ability of being ability to understand dogs each individual needs. Once we get to know each other, we’ll be best friends for life. I am semi retired working from home with my cuddly golden retriever Joey at my side. He thinks he’s a lap dog and so cute! I have always loved animals and treat them with love, care and attention every animal deserves. I love being home with my dog and I have plenty of time to love up more dogs and cats. We have a loving, clean home with a I fenced in back yard where we love hanging out with our dog. I walk my dog 3-4 miles per day and would love to walk your dog too! My dog and I playfully wrestle, play hide-n-seek, chase each other around the house, and play tug of war. These are his favorite activities aside from cuddling. I would love to give your pet company playing their favorite games or just hanging out as well. I love walks, playing games, and being a loving pet companion.
“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”
“I would 100% recommend and use Loren again to care for our dog. She was flexible, patient, and actively gave me updates (photos, texts and videos!) of Mav. She went above and beyond expectations and I could see the difference when we got home! Mav is usually pretty upset when we get back from a trip but he was in great spirits.”
About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.
“This was the first walk with Jessa. She was on time. She’s quite pleasant. Rhys seemed to take to her right off and some initial tugging I think they established the rhythm intend to set up another next week. I have every reason to believe this is a great beginning.”
About: Hi, I'm Moira! I have had pets all my life but have pet sitting for the last 2 years for family and friends. I love all dogs and cats and I can guarantee lots of loving. My main option is dog walking but I am also open to pet sitting and doing check-ins. I am currently a full-time student at Michigan State but I am free after 12pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday and free on weekends. I am super flexible so don't be afraid to reach out! I am very easygoing and will do everything that's expected of me. I appreciate a clear written list that describes exactly what to do preferences so I ensure the safety and trust for your beloved pet.
About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking very many credits this semester and I generally only have to leave for class in the morning about an hour a day. I do work part-time with my longest day on Thursday being a 4 hour shift. I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! For larger dogs, I prefer to care for them at the owner’s place only whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking. This is because of the space of an apartment and also because my roommate has a cat! If your cat stays at my apartment, my roommate’s will stay in my roommate’s room so you do not have to worry about confrontation between the cats!

Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”

I'm currently a pet care specialist and 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 work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so 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.
“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!!!”
“Alice B. Is the best dog sitter. Alice’s care translates to the pet owner that Alice cares for your pet as if she is the owner. Alice sent pictures of my 4legged baby every day and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my visit with family because Alice B. Gave me so much comfort.”

“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.”
“This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.”
About: Hello, My name is a Richie✌️After house sitting for the past 5 years, my sister and I, Theresa, have joined forces to offer you care in the greater Lansing area! Theresa has also been providing care for the past 5 years (people don’t usually make it this long). First come first served! My schedule is open for any booking needs. With access to an activity bus used for group off leash hiking, 900 acres of natural trail systems close by, and a park with an acre open land just two doors down, we are constantly having fun outside. We have two people who have been in the business for the past 5 years, coming together to provide constant care. We do our best to help train the dogs to work in with the program. With the support of local dog trainers, we can assure that proper action will be taken.
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! 😊
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
