“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Ebby loves her stays with Ed! She has the opportunity to play with other dogs and gets so much attention! Ed texted us pics of Ebby while we were gone. It is such a relief to know Ebby is in good hands when we can't have her with us.”
“Larisa was wonderful! My dog Jonah stayed one night and she was his new mom, haha. He loves her and adored her little dogs, they were fast friends. This was Jonah's first time away from home and I was worried about him but he seemed to bond with Larisa and that made me so happy. I will feel very confident leaving him for an extended stay at the end of the month.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sage, and I’m passionate about caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience giving pills, shots, and other medications, as well as caring for both senior cats who need a little extra patience and love, and playful kittens and puppies. I’ve also helped with potty training for puppies and understand the unique attention that both young and elderly pets require. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats who keep me on my toes and remind me every day why I love animals so much. My goal is always to provide the same level of care, comfort, and kindness to your pets as I do my own. I have evenings open to love on your pets! If you have a busy night planned or a late night at work, leave your pet in my hands! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. As a sitter, I provide respectful, reliable care that follows your pet’s normal routine, from feeding and playtime to medications and cuddles. Whether your pet is young, elderly, or needs special attention, I treat them with patience and love—just like my own two cats. I know my way around Mount Pleasant trails and parks when your pet needs to get some energy out!
“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“Bennet and her husband room phenomenal care of our dog- a mini golden doodle. They treated her like a member of their family. They gave her endless belly rubs, tools her for multiple walks, took her for a dogs day out, and sent so many pictures to allow us to see what she was up to. While our dog was happy to see us, she seemed to miss Bennet once we got home! I would whole heartedly recommend Bennet if you are looking for someone to watch and care for your dog the way you would at your own home!”
“Kathy was a great sitter. Finley was very well taken care of and given a lot of love and attention. We were updated with pictures and texts which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. -Susan”
“Stephanie was awesome. She took such good care of my boys. She sent me pics and kept me updated on their daily activities. Stephanie's house was very clean and her yard had designated potty areas. She has her own dog that is a total sweetheart and was very kind to my two dogs. You can tell that Stephanie knows dogs and how to take care of them. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I have been around and caring for animals for 15 years. Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs every week. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
About: I'm 26, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live alone and genuinely love having animals around. Whether your pet loves long walks at the park, playtime, or just relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an active day or just someone to keep them company, I'm able to be there for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I have experience cleaning homes and caring for the elderly, so I'm comfortable following routines, respecting personal space, and cleaning up any pet messes along the way. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Christina was a wonderful dog sitter whose home was warm, welcoming, and safe for our old girl. Frequent updates and messages helped us feel even more comfortable that she was well cared for. When we dropped her off and picked her up, there was no stress or discomfort for her (or us). Would definitely recommend her and will hire her again.”
“She was very responsive ! Texted me updates . My dog had anxiety so she wasn’t eating a lot but they kept me updated and sent pictures. Rajah walked the dogs a lot daily too and I know they loved that”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”

“Our absolute favorite sitter on Rover! My fiancé and I don’t have kids yet so our pets are our whole world, and I’m always nervous leaving them on extended stays. Jacqueline takes great care of our kitties and I love knowing that they’re getting reliable care. Thank you again!”
“We had Paula drop by for 10 days to feed our cats and she did more than that!! She made sure they ate and gave them attention afterwards!! We appreciated everything she has done for us and will definitely be rebooking her for our next vacation! Thanks again Paula! ❤️”
About: I have had cats my entire life. I am passionate about cat health and welfare, and am currently employed part-time as a Community Cat Program Coordinator for my local municipality. I have been very successful with Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), administering meds, and ensuring that our community cats have the best life possible.
“Brooke was wonderful and caring. She took great care of our cat for over two weeks. Brooke does seem to prefer to visit later in the evenings, which wasn’t a problem once I figured this out. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Lily did a fantastic job with all three of our kitties! She was consistent with cleaning the bowls and the litter box, and kept us updated with photos! Thank you again for taking care of our kitties!”
“Andrea was amazingly responsible and patient. She was available on short notice. Took pictures and shared that she took the time to continue our trained behaviors of sitting to receive treats. We will be working with Andrea again. Highly recommended.”
About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood, which included my best friends - my kitties! We have some allergies in my family so I have loved my two Beagle babies for almost 10 years now… but once a cat person - always a cat person. I will care for your pets/kitties as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it!
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, play with, and care for their cats while away. Although my current cat is the sweetest thing ever, I also have experience handling shy, anxious, and aggressive cats, so I understand the patience and care they need to feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have been caring and training dogs for over a decade, including experience with large breeds. I am especially experienced with Newfoundlands, Newfoundland-Poodle mixes, Goldendoodles, Dogo Argentinos, and Vizslas. I am comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs and always approach animals with patience, respect, and understanding their individual needs. As a healthcare graduate student, I bring responsibility, attention to detail, and caring communication to every pet I care for. In addition, I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so I'm happy to provide long walks and structured exercise for pets who need to burn off some energy. Come May, I'll have a flexible schedule as I complete the classroom portion of my Doctor of Physical Therapy program. With a lighter schedule and no part-time work commitments, I'll have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain secure handling during walks, and supervise pets closely at all times. I respect each home's rules and routines to ensure consistency for the pet. I am attentive to behavioral cues and changes in health, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary.
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”
About: Cats have always felt like my other half. Since I was 5 I have been rescuing and caring for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and just recently rescued a little kitten that was trapped inside a car. I love making them feel comfortable and cared for because they always return that love ten times over! There's no better feeling than knowing that they feel safe around you, and that's something I will forever strive for.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been caring for pets my whole life. I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the daily attention, exercise, patience, and love pets need to feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to giving each pet personalized care and attention to keep them happy while their owners are away. I currently work full time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I care for my own dog as well. I’m available before and after work on weekdays, and I have more flexibility and availability on weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I currently live in a household with two dogs, and I’ve lived with both dogs and cats for most of my life. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in any way they need and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.
About: I grew up catsitting my neighbor's kitties, playing, feeding, and changing litter while friends were away. I have one cat of my own, and live with my parents who have 2 barn kitties. I am experienced caring for kittens and older cats as well as cats who are super shy. I will follow your cat's lead so they can be comfortable with me in their space. I know how different cat sitting can be to dog sitting, since cats take longer to warm up to new people and environments, I won't rush them :)
“Thank you is not enough . Elyssa came to our rescue in the saddest. time in our lives . She was amazing with our cats. Always on time with feedings and she spent extra time with our cats. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of our kitty cat friends for almost my entire life. I believe for our feline friends enrichment and cleanliness is much needed! Enrichment includes treat puzzles to stimulate theirs minds. Deep cleaning litter boxes at least once if not twice a week is a must for these kitties. I can administer a wide variety of medications ranging from subcutaneous, to oral, to even transdermal.

“What a gem! I was VERY nervous leaving him as he’s quite old and currently needs his activity curtailed due to back problems. She kept in frequent contact and sent many pics. I would highly recommend!”
“This guy is the real deal! He knows what he’s doing. For example, he knows how to introduce dogs to each other and is very observant of dog behavior. I feel very secure with him taking care of my little guy.”
About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
“The girls seemed very happy when I picked them up from Stephanie! She sent me updates and replied very quickly to my texts. She was very kind and the girls loved her and her personal pets!”

“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Christina is definitely a pet lover who cares! Our dog felt right at home the moment we set foot in her home and had a wonderful time. We will certainly use Christina whenever we are in the Stanwood area!”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

About: I have many years experience with cats, even wild bred cats. But due to having two cats myself, I am not taking any cats for boarding. Maybe interested in stopping by and feeding and cleaning litters I am currently working but my husband is home 100% of the time and kids are also here that love playing with animals, bathing them, and taking them for walks. We have a fenced in backyard where we have a dog ourselves that is a mixed breed dog that has been introduced to many other animals and has never been anything but excited to have a pail.
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”

About: I am a licensed veterinary technician who has worked with dogs, cats, exotics and farm animals alike. I graduated magna cum laude from Baker College's vet tech program and received my license in 2025, but have been living and working with animals most of my life. I have also been regularly volunteering for animal rescues in the Mount Pleasant area since 2022. I am certified to care for animals with all temperaments and levels of needs, including kittens, puppies, the elderly and disabled. I can provide in-depth care that covers all the bases. I am knowledgeable in nutrition, exercise, toileting, enrichment and grooming/sanitation. I am also trained in specialized care such as medicine and fluid administration (any route), monitoring vital signs and blood sugar, animal behavior, syringe or hand feeding, dissability management (seizure disorders, diabetes, Cushings, arthritis, blindness, deafness, etc.), wound treatment, and assisting with advanced hygiene and mobility needs. Animal welfare and preventative care are some of my life's greatest passions. I am deeply attentive to detail and the nuances of animal stewardship. My schedule is flexable, so I am able to adjust my time fairly easily to accommodate the requirements of each family and their pets. I do not take the trust you put in me as animal caregiver lightly, as those are your family members too. I will work diligently and lovingly to keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy. I want to give you the greatest reassurance possible that you may rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands! I have a very open schedule, making me readily available for a wide variety of pet care needs. I am making pet sitting and daytime care/walks my primary work. This will make my routine easy to customize with my clients while having their requirements as a top priority. I do have chronic health issues that I may need to take time off for (appointments and rest days), but I will be upfront and schedule those things in advance so it is not a burden on any client. As of now, I will be doing daytime and overnight pet sitting at a client's home, as well as offering walk services. I currently do not have a space of my own available for boarding services, but everything else I am completely open and flexible with. I am always willing to work with a client and their pet's needs. On top of my standard of meticulous care and endless affection for these animals, I want to customize my care for each client to their particular needs. I will let you know if something is beyond my expertise, but because of my degree and license in veterinary nursing, my capabilities are broader than most sitters, making it much easier for me to take on more complex or in-depth scenarios. I am also someone who wants to keep clients as up-to-date and informed as they need during my care so I strongly believe in consistent communication. Your trust is to be earned so I am an open book to your questions, concerns, and specifications of care.
About: Don't settle for boarding or doggie daycare. I can come to your home and take care of your pets where they are comfortable. A lot of owners don't know this but when you board your animal stresses and sometimes they stop eating, and being social. Let me be there for you and your pet whether you are going on a vacation or work trip, you just need someone overnight or if you just need your dog walked while working overtime. Im here for you and more importantly your fur babies. I do also take care of reptiles, rodents and more. Im in training to be a veterinarian technician. Im a mom of a little boy and dog mom to a little girl pitbull. Im 20, a stay at home mom and I would love to make an income while being there for you I’m a stay at home mom in school for elementary education I love kids and pets they are my passion! I have a completely open schedule! I will be following your exact instructions leaving a pet alone can be so scary but trust me when I say everything will be taken care of and you can enjoy your time away!

About: I have been caring for pets since I was young, as we have always had dogs and cats. Over the last couple of ears have started to house pet sit for familv and friends, as well as dog walking. I am currently attending college 2 days a week (mondays and Wednesday's) and work 8-5 during the week as well. I would like to be able to take care of pets on the weekends when I can. and maybe after work if that works out. I am very knowledgeable on how to care for animals. I will be careful when getting to the home and leaving the home to make sure the pet is in excellent care. While taking care of the pet I will be in contact with the owner.

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.
About: Ever since I was young I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds at younger ages as well! I bond very well with animals and I treat them like they're a human too, it's instinct. I always wanted what's best for animals because they can't talk so I want to be their voice and opinion for them! I will be avaialble and open Monday-Sunday, so I'll have lots of time to tend to many furry companions! I work part-time for the time being but am open to expanding my schedule! I can easily meet each owners needs on their companions! If you need anything in particular just let me know and I'll accommodate to each individual!
About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
“Ava and her boyfriend took my two large dogs out for a walk while I was away. They did a great job. They came within the timeframe we had selected. Ava handled the hot weather and my dogs high energy fine. My dogs seemed happy and relaxed when I got home!”
“Andrea was wonderful. She listened to all instructions and advice and she seemed to handle my large spunky dogs well! I also appreciated that she took them for quite a long walk. I would highly recommend her, and will try to book her in the future!”
About: I have grown up living with and caring for animals. I have taken care of animals at all life stages from young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I have administered medicine and have attention for details and care with specific pet needs. I am patient and am willing to work with most any pet! I currently have 3 cats who are my babies. I've worked with small dogs and frequently handle dogs up to 100lbs. I love the outdoors and making sure your family members have the best care possible while you are away! I would love to get to know your pets! I'm currently incredibly flexible with my schedule. As long as I have adequate notice I will be available most any day! I am used to caring for pets all day everyday. I can am willing to accommodate whatever care your pet needs to be comfortable, safe and cared for why you are away. I treasure animals like family and I can assure that they will be well looked after.
“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”
About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own. They are all mixed breed and we adopted them from the humane society.

“Ebby loves her stays with Ed! She has the opportunity to play with other dogs and gets so much attention! Ed texted us pics of Ebby while we were gone. It is such a relief to know Ebby is in good hands when we can't have her with us.”
“Larisa was wonderful! My dog Jonah stayed one night and she was his new mom, haha. He loves her and adored her little dogs, they were fast friends. This was Jonah's first time away from home and I was worried about him but he seemed to bond with Larisa and that made me so happy. I will feel very confident leaving him for an extended stay at the end of the month.”
“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”
“Stephanie was awesome. She took such good care of my boys. She sent me pics and kept me updated on their daily activities. Stephanie's house was very clean and her yard had designated potty areas. She has her own dog that is a total sweetheart and was very kind to my two dogs. You can tell that Stephanie knows dogs and how to take care of them. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I have been around and caring for animals for 15 years. Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs every week. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Christina was a wonderful dog sitter whose home was warm, welcoming, and safe for our old girl. Frequent updates and messages helped us feel even more comfortable that she was well cared for. When we dropped her off and picked her up, there was no stress or discomfort for her (or us). Would definitely recommend her and will hire her again.”
“She was very responsive ! Texted me updates . My dog had anxiety so she wasn’t eating a lot but they kept me updated and sent pictures. Rajah walked the dogs a lot daily too and I know they loved that”
“Michael and his family were excellent in caring for our 2 dogs for a week. Kept us updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use again and would recommend others utilize him as well.”
“Kelsey was great with my dogs. I had a three year old and a three month old and she did amazing with them. She provided constant updates and photos. Definitely will use her services again!”
“Christin took absolutely perfect care of my dog, Chance! I received pictures within an hour or so of dropping him off and continually throughout his stay. In every picture, I could tell her was being loved and cared for. Will absolutely rebook next time, thank you Christin!!”
“Janis did a great job with Remi! I was a bit apprehensive about her two larger dogs with my 27 lb. boy, but she kept things in order and even sent me a video of him hanging out with another dog she was watching. It was comforting to know he was in good hands for the day.”
“Tabitha was great with Addie! She and her family made a gentle introduction to their other dog, and they had endless running and playing in their fenced yard! She also sent a bunch of photos and a video. We were grateful that our dog had such a fun filled day while we were away!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”
