About: I have over 30 years of dog experience. I have trained puppies and love my pups to old age. I understand all dogs have different needs. im currently working from my home.

I can also create your pup if needed.

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. You can trust that I will take care of your fur babies the same as I do my own. They are part of the family and have rules to follow for everyone's benefit and safety.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with a husky and German shepherds. I can handle most to all pet personalities and love forming unique bonds to keep them relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I work from home so including your fur baby into my day and working around any special needs they may require will not be an issue Plenty of land for proper exercise and play, empty hardwood bedroom to keep pet structured but they will have free access to my entire home, which will be clean and free of any potential hazards.

“Becky was attentive to all the details, taking care of our cat Bernadette. She didn’t just do the things we requested, but she did more! I’m so thankful we found Becky!”

About: I have taken care of friend's cats in the past when they travel, but that is it in regard to my cat experience. I like cats, and am very capable of following your precise directions.

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am 25 years old. I am an ambitious, adventurous, vivacious individual. I am currently in my second year of college at Mott Community College working toward my Associate's in Psychology, so that I may then transfer to the University of Michigan to achieve my Bachelor's. Once achieving my Bachelor's, I would like to work as a counselor for a few years before going back to school for my Master's so that I may eventually become a bereavement therapist and open a private practice. I am currently a member of the Psychology Society at Mott and I was selected to join the Mott Community College's chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success. I have been taking care of dogs of various breeds since I was old enough to take care of myself, having owned numerous amounts of dogs for about 20 years. Neighbors, friends, family, and a few Rover clients have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend time with their pets for the past 5 years -- possibly longer. I am not certified yet, but I intend to take a CPR & First Aid course for dogs as soon as possible -- hopefully, I never have to use it. But it would bring me peace of mind knowing that if there were ever a situation with my dog or someone else's dog, I'd know what to do. I intend to take a pet grooming course as I would be able to offer more grooming services. And lastly, I also intend to take a dog obedience/training course so that I may offer training services as well. Being a full-time student takes up the majority of my time, thus I am looking to start up cleaning, dog walking/dog-sitting, and babysitting/nannying businesses so that I may keep a steady income for the next few years. I am taking all of my classes online and will eventually switch to going on-campus for my classes, but that will most likely be in a few years when I am attending U of M -- which would require me to move out of the Northern Michigan area. As a member of the Psychology Society and the NSLS, I may occasionally need to travel for a couple of days to Flint for an event -- especially considering I may apply for and take on one of the positions in the Psychology Society. With that being said, I would prefer to have a decent amount of time to prepare and set a date on my calendar for any services I will be providing for you. I will also make sure to keep my availability up-to-date. I would also appreciate cancellations to be in advance as well, but I do understand that life happens. In clients' homes, I will take your fur baby/babies to any nearby parks and/or long walks on any trails. I offer grooming services such as bathing, ear cleaning, and hair brushing. I request that if I am in your home, you leave me a list of my responsibilities. I do not mind caring for young puppies that are still in the process of potty training. I just request that you let me know exactly what cleaning supplies you would like me to use to clean up any messes if he/she has an accident -- preferably this won't happen as I will be around and will have the time necessary to avoid accidents inside. Currently, I am not offering boarding or doggy daycare services because my dog does not get along well with other dogs. But I do plan to start offering those services again in the future... I have a decent-sized yard, but it is not fenced in. I have a leash hooked up outside to easily let your dog/dogs out for potty breaks if the weather is too bad for a walk. I have two full baskets filled with toys from bark box to play with and I try to stay stocked up on treats from the Three Dog Bakery! You can bring your treats as well if you give your dog a specific brand of treats. I have no problem with dogs getting on my furniture, but I do also have an extremely comfortable Serta dog bed if you have taught them to stay off of furniture. If your dog is puppy pad trained rather than trained to go potty outside, then I would need you to provide the pads as I do not have any. I am also okay with boarding/dog-sitting a puppy in my home once I am offering those services again as well, even if he/she is still in the process of potty training. I just request that you provide a kennel or crate in case I need to leave my home for anything. I would not leave the puppy attended for longer than an hour and a half.

About: I have had cats ever since I was little ! I have always cared for them as in feeding cleaning litter boxes and just hanging out!

About: I'm Nathaly Romero, a veterinarian from El Salvador currently living in the U.S. and working toward my veterinary license here. I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand that cats need gentle, patient, and respectful care — always on their terms. Whether your kitty is shy, playful, or a little sassy, I’ll make sure they feel calm, safe, and loved while you’re away. I offer in-home visits to provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, give cuddles (if wanted!), and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Every cat is unique, and I care for each one with the love and attention they deserve. Let me help your kitty feel comfortable and cared for in the place they love most — home. 🐾💛

“Shae and Apollo were fantastic! She was so quick to respond. She also tried to make meeting and pick up as easy as possible. She sent amazing pictures and it was great that my puppy didn’t even make a peep the entire 4 hour car ride home since he was so tired out from his fun adventure play date! Thank you so much shae!”

“Dorothy is great with my 1 yr. old puppy. She is patient but consistent with dealing with his puppy energy and lack of focus. I can tell he enjoys being with her. Thank you, Dorothy!”

His house is located on a beautiful street with old trees alley close by the beaches. We appreciated his last minute availability and will be glad to request dog care again in the future.”

“Wonderful family! So welcoming, attentive and kind to our Chevy girl! Lots of video and photo coverage of her day with them along with so much play time and walks at the park. Chevy got along so well with Marley too, which was so lovely. Will 100% use them in the future for our day care needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of mine own dogs and others my whole life. I am an active girl, that loves to bring dogs on walks or runs. I am a middle school special education teacher so I have summers off. I would be able to care for a pet throughout the summer with an extremely flexible schedule. I would be willing to come and stay at your home with your pet and keep their routine as if you never left! I am a caring girl willing to keep your pet happy and healthy!

About: I'm honest, dependable, caring, kind and very experienced caregiver to animals with all sorts of needs. I tend to like animals more than humans, if I watch your dogs or cats, its likely I will also take out your trash and do your dishes because I'm like that. I'm currently retired, however I travel quite a lot, but when I'm not travelling, I have 100% availability 7 days a week and all hours. Pets tend to do well with routine, thus I would stay on whatever your pet's routine usually is... if your dog is active that is a +++ as we rarely sit at home and do nothing, but oif your pet likes to just be home then we can do that as well.

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience supporting K9 work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

“Emma takes such good care of Mica. I can tell he's had good exercise after he visits by how chill he is”

About: I’ve had family pets for as long as I can remember. I am very comfortable with all types of animals! I also worked at pets mart for a year where I ran doggy day camp! I am currently a part time student. So I am available most days of the week. Mornings and afternoons work great for me! But very flexible with my schedule. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I also walk them on leashes and occasionally crate train if necessary. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your pet is safe and comfy.
