We couldn't have gotten any more lucky than we did with Julie & her husband. Our Nya Bear looked like she had a great time in their home. Unfortunately she just started to blow her coat right before we dropped her off, but they continued to brush her out throughout her stay. We'll definitely be having her stay with Julie & her husband from now on when we need someone to look after her.

Best Rover sitter there is. Treats pets like family and just like, one of their own. Got frequent updates and photos during our week out of town. Highly trusted and loving, even gave our pooch a bath prior to pickup! PS they spoiled our dog with his very own Christmas gift!

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!

Absolutely amazing experience. Lisa and her family are super sweet and welcoming, and they live on a beautiful piece of property. I honestly could not imagine Zeus having a better time anywhere else. Lisa was very responsive and communicative the whole stay, sent updates, and went above and beyond with anything I needed. She was really understanding about my schedule and the fact that I tend to run late, and never made me feel bad about it. Zeus clearly enjoyed being there and was comfortable from the start. I can’t say enough about how well she took care of Zeus. I would happily trust Lisa to watch Zeus any time and for as long as needed. I couldn’t recommend her more – just a lovely family and an awesome sitter.

Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.

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.

Morgan was a great sitter for our Shih Tzu, Elsa. Elsa is an older dog with residual issues from being rescued from a puppy mill 6 years ago. She’s very timid, is missing several teeth, and is totally deaf. Morgan sent us pictures and texted that Elsa was settled in and doing just fine. It was a wonderful experience for all. ❤️

We were so grateful for finding Amy through Rover only a day before our trip. She made time to have our dog over for a meet and greet, and she had experience with dogs with a similar personality to our Mimi, so it felt like a good match from the start. Amy sent pictures and updates throughout our trip, and the drop off and pick up situations were easy. We would recommend Amy to anyone in need on doggy watching for up to one week! Thank you Amy!

Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.

After our normal sitter wasn't able to watch our dogs I almost cancelled the trip until my husband found Hanna on Rover. She had great reviews and our dog meet and greet went well. I could tell she loves animals and I had a great feeling. I got regular updates along the way. I would highly recommend and use Hanna for our services again.

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.

About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .

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.

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: I'm a lifelong animal lover who has cared for pets of all kinds! From house pets to farm animals,I have experience with them all. Farm life has taught me the importance of patience, structure, and endless belly rubs. I work from home, which means your furry friend will get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether we are going on walk around the farm or relaxing, I treat every visiting pet as my own. I'm comfortable with medication administration and follow strict daily routines. I can’t wait to meet you and your partner in crime. I am a stay at home mom. I run our home and our farm so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! From walks to snuggles and playtime to belly scratches, we will love to give them all the attention they need. I live on a farm so we have plenty of room for your dog to explore. If needed, your dog will be leashed went outside. I have one friendly dog that loves to play and two kiddos. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

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.

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!

Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do have a dog of my own. But other then babysitting for family and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.

About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.

I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a professional canine trainer, behaviorist, groomer, and full-time caretaker with 12 years of hands-on experience. I’m certified in dog behavior, temperament, body language, and care—so I understand what dogs need to feel safe, confident, and happy. I create enriching, balanced environments where every dog can thrive. From playful activities to structured downtime and personalized attention for pups with unique needs, I tailor each day to your dog’s individual personality. With me, your furry family member is treated like my own—showered with love, positive guidance, and plenty of tail-wagging fun! I give every dog my full attention, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Most days, you’ll find us outside soaking up the fresh air—running, playing, and exploring together. And if you ever wonder where I am, I’m probably out back with the pack having a blast. When winter hits, we move the fun into our heated, pup-friendly garage. It’s set up just for them, with turf or rubber mats for comfort and tons of toys to keep tails wagging. No matter the weather, your dog will always have a cozy, engaging, and joyful space to call their home-away-from-home. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Our fully fenced-in backyard is designed with your dog’s comfort and enjoyment in mind, featuring pools, toys, water bowls, and all the essentials for a fun and enriching experience. Each dog is fed separately to maintain a peaceful and individualized routine. For dogs who prefer more privacy, we provide private rooms to ensure they have a quiet space away from the other dogs when needed. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment for every dog in our care.

About: My experience with dogs starts as a child. I grew up with 3 dogs. Now on my own I am the go to person when it comes to watching family members/friends dogs. I have my own dogs(1year and 1.5years) and 3 cats. I work at a cage free doggie daycare part time where I’m constantly learning new techniques and skills to use while working with dogs. Dogs aren't just animals to me, they are companions that need exercise and attention all the time. My goal is to give them the attention that they need when you aren't able to. Your pet will leave happy, healthy, tired, and excited to come back! I am working full time on 1st shift(Sat, Sun, & Mon) but between my partner and I, we are available everyday. She will handle most of the operations on my working days. The safety and happiness of your pet is our #1 priority and want to ensure you that your pet is in good hands. I have leashes, treats, and toys. All toys will be sanitized before and after play to ensure no virus or bacteria spreads. I don't like to walk on busy streets. Walks can take place in your neighborhood or choose to let your pup leave and go walk the trails I like to bring my dogs to. Between the both of us, we are home the majority of the week to care for your pup! Mondays from 9-5 are the one time a week we both work, but we have a Furbo camera to watch from your pet from work. I have a backyard with a tie out for dogs to let out their energy and also two younger dogs that are always ready to play ball. We can crate dogs as needed, adjust to food schedules, and walk pus that need the extra energy released.

About: As of right now i have become available full time for Rover! I have a 9 year old dog and 3 year old of my own very playful and full of energy. There names are Scout and selene. I take animals out at least 3 times a day(if not more) so they will have plenty of time to go do their business and go on walks. I would love to care for your pets in home or for drop in visits. I am available for any type of visit so let me know what your looking for and I can see what I can do! I'll have plenty of time alloted for your pets. Let me know their favorites times for walks, food, play time, etc. I will have them taken care of as if you were taking care of them! Pets will be greated with lots of love and attention, the fur baby and I will follow all instructions left by you the owner and before heading out give them more love and attention. Currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time for any and all fur babies! If you need me there will be there at the times needed! I live in a great apartment complex with plenty of other dogs running around a dog park and even another being built around the corner! Two pups at home to keep them entertained while you are away!

We couldn't have gotten any more lucky than we did with Julie & her husband. Our Nya Bear looked like she had a great time in their home. Unfortunately she just started to blow her coat right before we dropped her off, but they continued to brush her out throughout her stay. We'll definitely be having her stay with Julie & her husband from now on when we need someone to look after her.

Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!

Best Rover sitter there is. Treats pets like family and just like, one of their own. Got frequent updates and photos during our week out of town. Highly trusted and loving, even gave our pooch a bath prior to pickup! PS they spoiled our dog with his very own Christmas gift!

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!

Absolutely amazing experience. Lisa and her family are super sweet and welcoming, and they live on a beautiful piece of property. I honestly could not imagine Zeus having a better time anywhere else. Lisa was very responsive and communicative the whole stay, sent updates, and went above and beyond with anything I needed. She was really understanding about my schedule and the fact that I tend to run late, and never made me feel bad about it. Zeus clearly enjoyed being there and was comfortable from the start. I can’t say enough about how well she took care of Zeus. I would happily trust Lisa to watch Zeus any time and for as long as needed. I couldn’t recommend her more – just a lovely family and an awesome sitter.

Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.

My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!

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.

Morgan was a great sitter for our Shih Tzu, Elsa. Elsa is an older dog with residual issues from being rescued from a puppy mill 6 years ago. She’s very timid, is missing several teeth, and is totally deaf. Morgan sent us pictures and texted that Elsa was settled in and doing just fine. It was a wonderful experience for all. ❤️

We were so grateful for finding Amy through Rover only a day before our trip. She made time to have our dog over for a meet and greet, and she had experience with dogs with a similar personality to our Mimi, so it felt like a good match from the start. Amy sent pictures and updates throughout our trip, and the drop off and pick up situations were easy. We would recommend Amy to anyone in need on doggy watching for up to one week! Thank you Amy!

Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.

After our normal sitter wasn't able to watch our dogs I almost cancelled the trip until my husband found Hanna on Rover. She had great reviews and our dog meet and greet went well. I could tell she loves animals and I had a great feeling. I got regular updates along the way. I would highly recommend and use Hanna for our services again.
