“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“If you need a sitter for your beloved little one, then book with Yvonne…She is trustworthy, kind and very caring for my Emma…She sent pictures every day…easy communication with her and I will definitely use her again…My Emma had fun with her children, went for walks and was loved by her family…but most of all, I was at total ease and stress free when my husband and I went on vacation…I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”

“Great experience! Katie was sending us photos and updates of our furr baby daily! She treated our dog-Lesha like one of her family. Absolutely recommend and will definitely rebook if we need to!”
“I can't say enough how well Katey took care of my Daisy. Daisy tends to get worked up when she's in unfamiliar surroundings but it didn't take long for her to settle down with Katey. Katey sent daily photos and videos and I could see how Daisy had calmed down and made herself at home not long after she was dropped off. I highly recommend Katey.”
About: I have 11 year old and 15 year old that love animals. I would love to help care for someone’s pet that needs some love while their owners are on vacation or at work. I am not ready for our own pet again yet. I recently had to put our senior dog down. I am home for the summer looking for some extra money and hobby. I am home most days all day just looking for something to do. I do not have a fence but will go out with the dog your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
“Jordan was great with my dachshund. I did not ask for photos or updates, but when I did inquire, she was quick to respond and send me a picture that showed how calm and content my dog was. My dog is spoiled with a couple of bad habits and she seemed to have no issues taking care of him. I recommend Jordan and will use again if needed.”
“Juju enjoyed spending holidays with Tiffany and her family. All her dogs were not only friendly, but also well-trained. They were a great company for Juju. Tiffany sent me a couple of pictures everyday and kept me informed of how Juju was doing. Every member of her family seemed to know how to handle dogs. I did not have to worry about anything during my holidays. I’m sure Juju wants to go back to her place again. She is a great dog sitter.”

“Wonderful experience with Andria and her family. First researched less than 2 weeks ahead of anticipated need to board our pup - Andria was accommodating with a Meet & Greet ahead of booking to allow us the chance to get acquainted and our furry friend to experience the lodging accommodations ahead of time. During the weekend board, we were provided with updates and photos of the day to help us humans know that all was well.”
“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Bobbie and her family have dog-sit our puppy before but this was the first time we left her for 6 nights and we couldn’t be happier that we have someone that cares for animals the way Bobbie does. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including my own shih tzu who was with me for 16 wonderful years. Working with the Michigan Humane Society’s Dog Day Getaway taught me how to handle pups of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I specialize in gentle senior care, patient puppy training, and making every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s slow walks for seniors or playful zoomies for puppies, I meet every dog where they’re happiest. I work from home, so I’m around all day and love having pets as part of my routine. My schedule is steady but flexible, which means I can easily adjust to each pet’s needs. I like starting the day with a walk or some playtime and taking plenty of breaks for cuddles, outdoor time, or just keeping a pup company. Caring for animals fits naturally into my life, it’s something I truly enjoy. When I’m caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding schedule, favorite walking route, or bedtime routine. I keep communication open with pet parents and send plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind.

I work monday-friday dayshift, home by 4pm with all weekends and holidays off. My husband works 12 hour days and has several days off during the week. Someone is currently always home with my 3 year old son so it would be seldom that your pooch would be without someone. I live on 2 acres so there is plenty of space to play outdoors. I am with the dogs while they’re outside or watching since it is not a fenced in yard. I have a very friendly playful pooch at home. I also have 2 children that are used to having dogs and pets so they are good with animals and love having them stay with us. Dogs are free to roam the home, lounge on furniture or beds.

“Gabrielle did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! One of them does not warm up easily to people but within a few days, I got videos of her going right up to Gabrielle for pets which tells me everything I need to know. We will absolutely be using her again.”
“Lauri was great and kept us updated on Kitty Meow. She is shy and Lauri knew she would never be seen so gave us pictures of the clean box and let us know she had made "appearances" while she was not there. We came home to mail and packages on the table, which was greatly appreciated. Being away from the house and Kitty for a week was less stressful knowing we had someone dropping in to make sure everything was okay. We will use Rover and Lauri's services in the future and would recommend her to our friends and family in the area.”

About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.

We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort.

I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away!

You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being.

We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely.

I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.

“Phoebe is great! She took our Luka (1 year old dog) on walks during the time we were working and he loved it. We are so thankful! Hopefully we get to work with Phoebe more in the future!”
“We hired Cindy to walk our pup while we were on vacation. I was a little worried because we have an anxious pup who can be easily overwhelmed and slow to warm up to people. Cindy was great with him! By 2 days in he was so excited for his walks he was waiting for her at the door when she arrived. She gave him the time he needed to stop and sniff which helps him decompress. Since he is part lab she really tapped into those personality traits by walking him near water and places where he could see, smell and hunt around for small animals. She was punctual and sent pictures as well as a map of his walks everyday. I will definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve been a shelter volunteer for 5 years, working closely with the dogs most people struggle with the reactive ones, the jumpy ones, the bitey ones, the over-stimulated ones, and the dogs that need real structure and patience to thrive I’m used to reading body language fast and staying calm no matter what’s in front of me. Whether it’s leash pulling, overexcitement, reactivity, or lack of focus. Maybe your dog just needs more work on learning commands and learning obedience I can do that to! let me know what I can do to best help you and your dog I would love to help Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. I have 8 birds at home and On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter 2–4 days a week, where I work hands on with a wide range of dogs especially high energy dogs and dogs that need extra structure and patience. That experience keeps me consistently involved in reading behavior, handling different temperaments, and staying calm in all situations. When I’m not at the shelter, I plan my schedule around Rover bookings like walks, drop-ins, and training. I make sure each visit has enough time and attention When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine that you provide so the pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment

“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“If you need a sitter for your beloved little one, then book with Yvonne…She is trustworthy, kind and very caring for my Emma…She sent pictures every day…easy communication with her and I will definitely use her again…My Emma had fun with her children, went for walks and was loved by her family…but most of all, I was at total ease and stress free when my husband and I went on vacation…I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”
“Great experience! Katie was sending us photos and updates of our furr baby daily! She treated our dog-Lesha like one of her family. Absolutely recommend and will definitely rebook if we need to!”
“I can't say enough how well Katey took care of my Daisy. Daisy tends to get worked up when she's in unfamiliar surroundings but it didn't take long for her to settle down with Katey. Katey sent daily photos and videos and I could see how Daisy had calmed down and made herself at home not long after she was dropped off. I highly recommend Katey.”

“Jordan was great with my dachshund. I did not ask for photos or updates, but when I did inquire, she was quick to respond and send me a picture that showed how calm and content my dog was. My dog is spoiled with a couple of bad habits and she seemed to have no issues taking care of him. I recommend Jordan and will use again if needed.”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Kim is simply the best!! I am so grateful to have found her to care for my dog. He loves going on his fun vacation stay. Kim sends daily pictures and updates.

Thank you so much Kim for always loving our boy when we are gone!”

“Wonderful experience with Andria and her family. First researched less than 2 weeks ahead of anticipated need to board our pup - Andria was accommodating with a Meet & Greet ahead of booking to allow us the chance to get acquainted and our furry friend to experience the lodging accommodations ahead of time. During the weekend board, we were provided with updates and photos of the day to help us humans know that all was well.”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Bobbie and her family have dog-sit our puppy before but this was the first time we left her for 6 nights and we couldn’t be happier that we have someone that cares for animals the way Bobbie does. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Mary was amazing with my Sadie girl!!!!! She sent me pics and was very kind. I will use her every time I go away. I felt Sadie was safe and cared for. It made it so much easier to leave her”
“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”
“Angelique was fantastic! I got regular updates with photos and videos, and it was crystal clear that my dog, Arlo, had a great time with her. I will be booking with her again!”
