We could not have picked a better stay for our first overnights away from our sweet pup, Billie! Rachel and Ivan were extremely communicative and made sure to keep us up to date with the daily activities! Not only did Billie love her time with Rachel and Ivan but also got along great with their resident dog. We received lots of pictures and videos that helped us feel certain that she was having a great time while we were away. Billie has quite a bit of energy and they were able to play fetch and take her for walks to help keep her active. We are so thankful for their care and would recommend and will book again!

Jody was fantastic!! Getting updates and pictures while our dog was with her was great for my daughter to know her best friend was in good hands. From the way it seemed our pup had a great time too!

She even brought the dogs over for pictures after the ceremony. 5 stars and two huge thumbs up!! If we are ever in that area of Michigan again and need a sitter for our dogs, Lindsey will be the person to call :)

About: What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :) Any pets under my care take priority in my schedule outside of my work as a part time driving instructor. The rest of the time I'm all theirs! I take pride in all of my work, and my level of pet care makes that very clear. I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.

About: I have a strong passion for caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and patience I give to each pet. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra patience, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet like they are my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and care Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m organized and good at following routines, so I can easily stick to each pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care they need. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to and make a priority in my weekly routine When caring for pets, I adapt to their needs and the environment—whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. In my own home, I create a calm and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and cared for at all times, while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year. I work full time 12 hour shifts. I am able to care for dogs during that time if the owner is comfortable with the dog being left home for 12 hours. Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.

About: A house is not a home without pets! I’ve had dogs and cats since I can remember and consider every pet a part of the family. I’ve extensively cared for kittens and puppies, senior pets, and even disabled pets with special needs. I aim to care for your pet as if “mom and dad” never even left and strive for your pet to be at complete ease in my care. I work for myself, so I’m able to essentially customize my schedule weekly based off clients’ needs as well as accommodate any last minute changes fairly easily. I am willing and able to accommodate to whatever your pets’ individual needs may be. Whether that be harnessing, muzzling, running, walking, extra snuggles, or perhaps even a couple meet and greets to gain their trust, I’m ready to meet your pet exactly where and how they need.

About: I have grown up having pets my whole life, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, rats, lizards, you name it. I spent a lot of time in high school watching the four legged loves one of family and friends alike. Having grown up with pets and now pets belonging to myself, I have much experience walking, grooming, bathing, administering medications; such as eye drops, ear drops, oral medicine, etc. of many pets. I was the kid that always tried to help abandon or hurt critters (I still am that kid!). If you are looking for a trustworthy person to care for your loved one, look no further. I’m currently at M-F 8 a.m - 6 p.m Possible availability S 10a.m - 2 p.m Will consider Fourth of July weekend availability could open up In client home, I intend on caring for your pet in the way that you wish. I am comfortable taking pets to the dog park if the owner wishes for that.

About: I have two dogs named Fin and Petey. Fin is a medium sized Irish Setter and Petey is a small Rat Terrier and Pomeranian mix! Being a small to big dog ratio, they get along pretty well! I take Fin on walks on the beach frequently as he is very well behaved and trained by me! Petey is more of a home body, but loves to go on walks and runs down the road. I have had many animals throughout my childhood: multiple dogs, many birds, ducks, guinea hens, and chickens! I am experienced to care for your animals they way I have and do with mine! I work as a CNA currently so my weekly schedule is inconsistent during the week, but I am able to provide care throughout the week and weekend as needed and avaliable! I have a huge backyard for my dogs to run around and always take them on walks, so even dog sitting for a little bit of time is just as good! With this being said, brining them home, along with coming to your home, or going to public areas, works well with me!

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋 I offer calm, attentive, in-home pet care designed to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away. I specialize in multi-pet households and have a natural ability with animals who need a little extra patience—whether that’s senior dogs, shy personalities, or pets who are used to a slower, more grounded environment. • 10+ years of experience with a wide range of temperaments • Especially attuned to anxious, sensitive, or senior pets • Experienced with multi-pet homes and complex routines • Respectful, clean, and mindful in clients’ homes • Consistent updates so you always feel connected and reassured 📸 I’m not just here to “watch” your pets—I create a steady, comforting presence so their routine and emotional world stay intact. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and I intentionally keep my schedule spacious so I can be fully present with the pets in my care. I prioritize consistency, calm routines, and quality time—especially for pets who thrive on familiarity and one-on-one attention. All bookings, communication, and payments are handled through Rover for ease and peace of mind 🐾 Your pet’s emotional and physical safety are my top priorities. I’m especially mindful with: • Senior pets who need slower pacing or extra care • Shy or anxious animals who take time to warm up • Maintaining your pet’s exact routine, environment, and comfort cues I approach each home with deep respect—keeping things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels secure and your space is cared for.

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m more than a dog sitter 😁 if you want someone who will play, walk, and entertain your dog, you’ve found your match! I’m the dog mom who does everything with her dogs. I have 3of my own large breed dogs, and fostered 12 others with my husband and enjoyed every moment of it! Most of them were under the age of 1 year old, so we did all the potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I exposed them to different environments, other dogs, and taught them a lot during their time with us which was anywhere from a month to 4 months. I’m reliable and really intentional about the care of animals. I love my dogs as if they were my kids and I’d treat yours with the same care! I have a full time job, but can work from home some days. I dog sit because I love it and I know how important it is to find someone who will make my dogs feel safe and happy. I intend to do that for those I serve 😊🐶 Note: I generally do not accept requests for house sitting over 4 nights at a time. I love routine and know how animals can thrive in that even when their humans are gone. So I would be happy to keep consistency for your pet if that means being let out at certain times or walked before you get home etc. For doggy daycare: I have a fenced yard and 3 of my own fur babies who love to play with other dogs! I also have a separate gated area in my home if there needs to be separation at times. For House Sitting: (I won’t accept requests over 4 nights). I will follow the owners preferences and safety measures they have in place. I also recommend meet and greets so I understand how you expect things done/handled.

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

We could not have picked a better stay for our first overnights away from our sweet pup, Billie! Rachel and Ivan were extremely communicative and made sure to keep us up to date with the daily activities! Not only did Billie love her time with Rachel and Ivan but also got along great with their resident dog. We received lots of pictures and videos that helped us feel certain that she was having a great time while we were away. Billie has quite a bit of energy and they were able to play fetch and take her for walks to help keep her active. We are so thankful for their care and would recommend and will book again!

About: What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :) Any pets under my care take priority in my schedule outside of my work as a part time driving instructor. The rest of the time I'm all theirs! I take pride in all of my work, and my level of pet care makes that very clear. I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.

About: I have a strong passion for caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and patience I give to each pet. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra patience, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet like they are my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and care Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m organized and good at following routines, so I can easily stick to each pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care they need. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to and make a priority in my weekly routine When caring for pets, I adapt to their needs and the environment—whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. In my own home, I create a calm and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and cared for at all times, while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life from newborn to elder dogs. I previously assisted my ex-wife with Rover sitting for many years. I have handled a working dog for approximately a year. I work full time 12 hour shifts. I am able to care for dogs during that time if the owner is comfortable with the dog being left home for 12 hours. Otherwise I am off and home with my children the remainder of the week. I have a fenced in yard and private land and trails for walks. I try my best to exercise the dogs while they are with me weather dependent.
