“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“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.”
“Jason and Kristen are so great with our dog Sydney! This weekend was Sydney’s third visit in the last two months. She gets SO excited when we drop her off; which in my mind is such a great indication of how much she loves spending time with them!! They send pictures and respond very quickly whenever I send a message to “check on Sydney”! We couldn’t be happier we found Sydney a home away from home when she’s unable to go with us. Thank you Jason and Kristen for taking such great care of our girl Sydney!!”

“Olivia was wonderful. She watched our dog for 5 days and sent great updates. She also gave him an oatmeal bath bc he was itchy and bought him toys. Would absolutely recommend booking with her.”

“Victoria & Rishi did an amazing job with our dog - they sent me frequent photos and videos, which really helped when I was missing my pup the week we were away on vacation. They made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog for an entire week, which is all you can ask for when you're thousands of miles away. They sent her home with a cute neck scarf and gave her lots of cuddles - I will definitely use their boarding services again in the 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.”

Made a lot of friends and we were at ease knowing that Alice’s entire backyard was fenced and doggy secured! We definitely recommend Alice 100%!”
“Julie did an excellent job caring for my dog. This was my first experience boarding my dog through Rover. I will definitely try to book with Julie in the future. She sent text updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much, Julie!”
“Brooke is the best sitter! My 1 year 3 month old puppy went to stay with her. During the stay we were updated with pictures and were happy to hear how he was doing. We even got an awesome mid-air shot of Koda playing with another buddy also named Koda! He had the time of his life and I know he was happy to play with friends! She asked details of food/bathroom/characteristics/etc to make sure she cared for Koda as we do. We can’t thank Brooke enough- and Koda can’t wait to come back!”
“Helen is very friendly and warm. She took good care of Greta for a 3 day weekend. She sent cute pictures of my dog relaxed and lounging on the sofa. I will definitely use Helen’s services in the future when I need to board my dog.”
“Christine and Hendrik were both outstanding sitters for my Maltese, Kasie. Kasie is generally afraid of men, but she warmed up to Hendrik and loved them both very much. She was very happy there, and that's unusual for Kasie because she is so attached to us. I think she's going to miss them since we brought her home. They took great care of her. She was safe, secure, and having the time of her life at their wonderful home with a fenced back yard. I will book them again and again!”

“Michael is seriously awesome. From the moment he walked in for the meet & greet, it was obvious I’d made the right choice! He was so comfortable, caring, and loving towards my teenage kitten right away and it made me feel so at ease leaving her in his hands for a few days!! Even when there was a mix up with access to the house, Michael was so proactive, attentive, and flexible! I was beyond grateful. I seriously cannot recommend him enough as a pet sitter and all around wonderful human!!”
“Lizz came by twice a day to take care of our three cats while we were away. One of our cats needed a daily inhaler, and she handled it wonderfully. The cats loved playing with Lizz, and having her there gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little with my own dogs as well as dog sitting family members and others pets as well. I have pet sat for Great Danes as well as small dogs. I’m currently in undergrad at Michigan State and hope to go to school to be in the Veterinary field. I’m currently in Undergrad at Michigan State but I come home on weekends to Grand Rapids when I can. I’m open during the evening as well as weekend in general. I spend time with pets and make sure they get the care they need. I also make sure to play with them and engage them to build trust.

“Justin was great with Joey! He is definitely a food-motivated guy so anyone who feeds him and gives him attention and pets is OK in his book.

I cannot emphasize more about Justin's great pet-sitting services!”

“Amazing communication while we were gone for two weeks! I have two cats and while one is a little scaredy cat and hid, my other one loved her so much! They had pet seshes everyday 😊”

“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!”
“Kasey was great! She was so responsive to messages, took care of Wrigley like one of her own dogs, and kept me updated with pictures and videos all day. It was great to know that she was being so well cared for. I truly appreciated Wrigley’s time with Kasey!”

“Jessica exceeded expectations, and our experience was superb! My newfies were comfortable staying with her, and I was very happy to receive multiple updates with pictures and videos throughout the day! 5 stars!”

“I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Makayla's Dog Day Care! Makayla's dedication and genuine love for dogs truly shine through in every aspect of her service. Makayla ensured that my pup has a stimulating and enjoyable day. She provided a variety of activities, from interactive toys to confidence training. My dog came home happy and well-exercised, having had a day full of fun and engagement. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my dog received at Makayla. Makayla's exceptional service has made a world of difference, and I highly recommend her to any pet owner looking for a day care provider.”
“My puppy Kona absolutely adores Alice. She has the best set up with a huge fenced in yard and Kona loves getting to play with other dogs! She gets excited as soon as we get in Alice’s neighborhood which is the best compliment I think she can give. Alice is by far the best Rover we’ve ever had and she’ll be hard to live up to if we ever move out of the area. I can’t say enough good things. We love you Alice!! 🐾”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs throughout my entire life. I’ve had the blessing of entirely raising a dog a cat and even a snake, from months of age to adulthood and throughout their elder years on my own. I am currently on summer break from school and work full-time as a Behavior Technician in Okemos, MI ! Other than my day-job I have a complete open availability on nights, afternoons and weekends. Plenty of time to smother your fur-baby with love and affection ! I have an upstairs apartment with two cats and a pet snake. There are no stairs inside my apartment so there is easy access for disabled and senior fur-babies. My bedroom and guest room also reside all on the same floor.
“We are the first timer as we are new to this place with no reference. We took a decision to go with Dustin and Sarah with our gut feeling and it turned out to be such an amazing experience. They are extremely welcoming and treated my pet like their own family member. I will be definitely recommending them as a great people to take care of your pet.”
“Duke seemed to enjoy hanging out with Mackenzie and her fiance. Mackenzie was quick to respond to my messages, and was very pleasant to interact with. I'd have her watch Duke again! Thanks.”

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
“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.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Lori was incredibly sweet and patient with both me and my dog. A wonderful dog walker and a wonderful person. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you.”
“Brooke always does such an amazing job with our Louie! He’s a nervous shy boy and she’s always patient and gentle with him and I think he’s even grown to like/ accept her. Highly highly recommend!”
“Jenn was amazing with both of our dogs. She provided updates after each walk, along with photos, to ensure we were aware. Both dogs love when she shows up and she treats them like one of her own. Would definitely recommend Jenn for anyone looking for a caring, responsible and professional individual to look after their animals.”
About: I'm a massive dog lover having raised three dogs and a cat as family members of our own. I am the grandmother of two dogs I love visiting. 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.
About: Along with a lifetime of owning and loving my own pets, I spent five years working at a veterinary clinic and I’m extremely comfortable handling animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read behavior, stay calm, and make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, compassionate, and confident working with pets who may be shy, energetic, or still learning. Being around animals has been a big part of my daily life for years, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and care they need. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to build my day around their routine so they get consistent attention and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, check water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for pets who need medication or extra attention due to illness. My five years at a veterinary clinic gave me a lot of hands‑on exposure to animals with different medical needs, so I’m comfortable following instructions, staying calm, and making sure they get the care they need to feel safe and happy.
About: I have dogs since I was very little. I have also participated in the training of my dogs and always love to use positive reinforcement to make pets their best selves! I'm currently working for myself with Doordash and Rover. My schedule is completely flexible and I am open to last minute bookings if messaged directly. I am respectful of my client's home and always down for staying in and playing/relaxing with your pet or going out for walks. I also have a car and can take them to the nearest dog park or on an adventure!
“Leah is wonderful she is prompt always there!! She takes great care in walking Jax who is a senior dog!! Sends me updates and pictures every time she walks him!! He loves her! I would highly recommend her!!”
About: My full name is Olivia Vera Love but you can call me Vera! I’ve taken care of animals of every kind ever since I could walk. Henry was my first dog and he was an English Setter. Ollie was my first cat and he came from a local barn. My mom taught me how to care for their every need and extend that towards other dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, guineas, and goats. I have walked, fed, bathed, brushed, and worked with special needs dogs, chickens, reptiles, and elderly cats. At one point I was taking care of four cats, three dogs, and twenty birds. I'm confident in my experience with animals to leave a positive impact on them. Both of my mom’s dogs are older dachshunds with special needs. I regularly dog sit a lovely miniature Australian Shepherd and cat sit a Blue Russian cat on my own time. I also currently own one rat, Cheez-it, and she loves the Australian Shepherd. Im a recent graduate looking for work so I'm flexible at the moment. Routine is two walks a day in the morning and night. I am looking for a full time position so while I currently am able to provide full time support in the future I will be able to provide part time support. I strive to give patience and understanding. I react to the needs of the pet or pet owner and do what needs to be done to do what will make the pet happy. My love for animals is primarily through my love of their capacity for empathy. Through my experiences I have also learned to be stern and to stand my ground with pets to work with them and to make them as comfortable as possible.
“Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!”
“Andrea is amazing! She has been walking my dachshund Penny Monday-Friday for the past few weeks and what a difference it has made. Penny was displaying severe separation anxiety which haD led to destructive behavior. I was at the point of crating her during the day which I didn’t want to do. Andrea came in at the right time with patience and love. I am now returning the crate I bought because the destruction has stopped. I highly recommend her.”

“Justin is extremely reliable and did a great job of taking care of our dog, Lucy, even driving her to the park where she and I walk every day so that she would maintain her normal routine.”

“She was awesome, we rescued potentially a bait dog only a couple months ago, with a heart of gold but, we are still working through issues with her and at the last minute our Airbnb canceled and we weren't able to take her. I reached out to Brooklyn and she was available and I explained the situation and she was willing to take her, work with her where she was and still offer her grace. It is one thing to be a pet sitter it is another to have some "caring" for your pet! Thank you again Brooklyn!”
“Samantha and Tua were great! My Labrador puppy (17 months) was in heaven with Tua as a playmate and the amount of space to play in. Samantha had my puppy start learning a hidden food puzzle and I will be buying one for her at home. Feeling good for my next trip,,,”
“The best. She had my baby for 2 weeks and I didn’t worry one second. She sent pictures daily. He had the best time and was so well taken care of. I would recommend Baleigh to any one. Will always be my first choice in the watching my fur babies!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sara and John! They went above and beyond caring for my two dogs this weekend—sending lots of pictures, keeping me updated, and even doing the cutest little activities with them. It was clear my pups were in great hands and having a wonderful time. I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing they were being so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
