Trina was the first dog sitter we left our pup with for a week. I was a bit nervous, but that was silly. Trina was so easy to work with, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog is shy with new people, but she was at ease with Trina. When I came to pick her up, it was clear that my pup was well cared for and comfortable with Trina. I will happily leave my best pup friend with Trina for trips in the future.

About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!

Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!

But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.

Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.

We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!

I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol

Look no further - Jessica is the BEST. She was able to immediately bond with my cat, and went above and beyond with both time and effort to make sure my cat felt loved while I was away. Even through technical difficulties with my apartment complex, a tough parking situation and a very crazy animal, she was so kind, professional and did her job extremely well. I'm so thankful - I found my new favorite Rover!

This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and I was nervous. My older cat has health conditions and has to take medicine. Madaline was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats. She was friendly and professional, and did a great job. I wasn’t worried at all after the first day’s check in! She sent pictures every day and I was so relieved they were being well cared for. I will definitely hire her again in the future!

Farrell did a great job with drop in visits to take care of my cat while I was away on vacation for a week. I was always notified of the check in daily and Farrell sent pics of my kitty along with a short update on how she was doing. My cat can be temperamental and sassy, but Farrell did a great job! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my kitty was well taken care of.

Brad is the best! He is so good with our dog Gunner. He always makes sure Gunner gets the exercise and attention he needs as an active dog. During his last drop in visit, Brad was sensitive to Gunner’s injured leg and made sure he didn’t over do it. He always communicates clearly and keeps us informed. Very professional and competent. Highly recommend him!

Had to leave my cat alone for 2 weeks and had no idea what to do. Found this app and selected Elizabeth (Ellie) based on combination of reviews, location, and cost with no idea what to expect. What an incredible decision; now I'll never have to worry about a cat sitter so long as Ellie is available! Ellie was amazing. I told her she'd likely never meet my cat because he's anxious with strangers, but he warmed up to her within the first 5 minutes. She has that touch. She was very communicative and sent tons of pics and videos of him/them. I could tell they love each other and I feel a little bad for my cat now that I'm home - I took away his new friend! Ellie went above and beyond by cleaning up after him, handling the package deliveries, taking care of trash/the outside bins, etc. Very pleased with Ellie and will be a recurring customer!

We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina

Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!

About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my family my whole life! I have also been a dog sitter for over 10 years. A few years ago, my husband and I raised 6 puppies from birth until they went to their new homes at 10 weeks. We currently have three dogs: Ash (Siberian Husky), Koda (Australian Shepherd), and Hickory (Husky-Australian Shepherd mix) who we love to play with, take for walks, and run around in the backyard. I'm currently off for the summer so I have a lot of time at home. I will let the dogs out every 2-4 hours when away but they will be out roaming the house when I am home. Dogs are welcomed in all rooms and on beds and furniture in the home. I have a large fenced in yard and three dogs to keep your pup company. We live in a dog friendly community and near a nature preserve for long walks and hikes.

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day.

About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.

About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)

Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.

If you need someone fantastic to board your dog with, look no further! Becky is super communicative, attentive, and kind. Her home is lovely and safe, with a fantastic backyard, and the sweetest golden retriever whom our dog adores!

Nayoma was great. We met a week before for a meet and greet at her house and got to know our dogs. While taking care of our dogs, kept us posted with fun pictures. We just picked them up and they are happy and tired 😁

Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!

Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.

Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.

We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!

I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!

Sarah was wonderful from start to finish! She watched my GSD overnight on NYE and was wonderful with communication leading up to and then while he was with her. I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol

Reed and Natalie always do a great job with taking care of my puppy. He comes home happy and tired, and the pictures and videos they send of him having fun and being played with are reassuring and heartwarming. If I could give extra stars, I would.

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.

Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!
