Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ryan
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ryan
“Kathy did a great job with our little girl! She is a Covid dog, so she lacks some socialization skills lol. Kathy is very knowledgeable and willing to help. She set our minds at ease, and I knew our little Siena was very safe in her hands. I would highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”
“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“Great sitter! Sent pictures how my Harley was doing. Great picture! Harley was very happy with Kim. Kim was very kind and patient with Hailey. I felt Harley was very safe with Kim and she spoiled him like he was one of her own. Excellent 👌.”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“This was a great experience for our dog! The fact that he was in a home setting versus a kennel situation was excellent. We had no worries that Charley was being well cared for. Ed hies way beyond what we had hoped for. We will definitely use him again!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”

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!
“I needed a flexible sitter while I worked a vendor show plus it was my first Rover stay. Jeanne was so kind and accommodating! I loved all the photos she sent and the feedback she gave me on how good my Lady was doing with the other dogs. I felt like a proud dog mom! I not only felt like my dog was safe and cared for, but it was also great to know that she was having so much fun! Thanks Jeanne for a great first experience with Rover.”
“Jessie was a great dog sitter for my rambunctious lab! She greeted us warmly and I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I got phots and plenty of communication while I was out of town for the weekend. I would definitely trust her to dogsit in the future.”
“Larisa is very good with dogs. I also love that she keeps the dogs in her home. Our dog doesn't have separation anxiety but misses us terribly when we're gone. Being with a loving person really helped.”
“Susan took wonderful care of Roscoe. She was great with communication and kept me updated throughout the stay. We felt our fur baby was in good hands the whole time and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the area.”

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”
“Madeline was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for my cat, Sawyer. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy—checking in often with updates, photos, and thoughtful details. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her own schedule to accommodate Sawyer’s routine and make sure he was never left wanting for attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”
“Shaylin did a fantastic job with our dog! She stayed the full agreed-upon time, gave great care, and even took her on walks. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Shaylin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I finally talked my mom and Grandma into letting me have a cat when I was 15. I named her Simpson, and despite her lowly birth, she was a divine fluffy black and white princess. Her warm welcome included oral dewormer, a bath, a good brushing, a nail trim, and topical flea treatment. I have since gained experience trimming nails and applying flea medication/preventative to cats other than my own. I love engaging kitties in play, a relaxing brush session, or simply finding which unconventional places they prefer most to nap in. I will carefully measure food, or make sure a bowl is never empty. Scooping litter is a breeze, and I can scrub a box with the best of them. I am no stranger to cleaning hairballs and vomit, but if your cat is likely to make a mess I would like to know where the cleaning supplies are kept and what you'd like me to use. I respect their autonomy and will snuggle those who request it, and leave be the ones who prefer to be left alone. If your feline friend longs for the outdoors, please provide instructions on how to best ensure they stay inside- I WILL cry if your cat escapes on my watch.
“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Jennifer is a pet lover doggies and kittens. She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. She is trust worthy and went above and beyond staying to give our cats love and was flexible feeding our special needs cats and giving medication. We will definitely be hiring Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer!”
About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ryan
“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.
“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.”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“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!”

“My 14 weeek old great dane stayed with Cristina for a 12 hour day. She was keeping me posted throughout the day and it was very reassuring to have updates on my lil pup. Thanks Cristina we will definitely repeat with scooby.”
“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”
“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!”
“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 started a new job 7 months ago where I work 12 hour swing shifts. I’m scheduled to work 3-4 days or nights per week, but have opportunities for overtime. Please do reach out to see if I’m available. I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m currently only scheduling for the weekends that I am off. So my schedule is limited as I work a 12 hours of swing shift. I do have every other weekend off, plus a day or two during the week. I walk the dog on the side walk or on the road if there are no sidewalk and if it’s not a busy road. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different.

“Madeline was prompt and communicated how our dog was feeling since she had an off day the day before. She sent photos and a video and with it being her first walk with our dog, our dog was very comfortable with her. Looking forward to having her walk our pup again.”
About: Expecting a baby June 2026 so I’ve blocked off the next few months but PLEASE don’t hesitate to book and reach out. I am taking my regulars if I am available and feeling up to it, pregnancy wise ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.
About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)
About: I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital & CityVet in Denver, CO for 5 years. Experienced with all types of animals, with extensive medical background as well. Also have raised my 3 doggos & one cat! Almost open availability at this time! Can work around a busy schedule or whatever is most convenient for everyone involved! I can work with night shifts as well if needed. I just moved back to Michigan from Denver, CO. I have 2 golden retrievers, named Olive & Opal, one Great Pyrenees named Albus and one ragdoll kitty named Tonks. They are all extremely spoiled at all times!
About: I’ve taken care of and watched family, friends and even neighbors dogs since I was old enough to drive. I also own a few dogs of my own so I am very experienced. I’m currently taking college classes part time so I will have lots of free time to take care of and love your dogs just as much as you do. I will do whatever is needed to take care of your dog(s). I am very caring and would never do something that wasn’t asked of.
About: Hi! I’m Addy — a lifelong dog lover who recently moved to Freeland, MI. I share my home with Kahlua, my sweet and friendly Pomsky, who loves making new dog friends. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pup with someone new, and my goal is always to give your dog a safe, calm, and happy experience — full of warmth, playtime, and love. Whether you need a walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy place for boarding, your dog will be treated like family. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s personality. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and honest communication. Hablo español también, si prefieres comunicarte en tu idioma. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently working only Thursdays and Sundays afternoons, which allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, and consistent supervision. I build my schedule around the dogs I care for, making sure they get attention, potty breaks, and exercise at the times they need it. For boarding or drop-in visits, I’m very flexible and can adjust to your dog’s normal routine — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Your pup will never feel rushed or left waiting. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling predictable, calm, and comfortable. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are always supervised and kept in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide fresh water at all times, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a cozy place to rest. I make sure doors are always closed, and I only introduce dogs to my Pomsky, Kahlua, if both pets are comfortable and it’s a good match. For walks and drop-in visits, I use secure harnesses or leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I keep a slow, steady pace and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every dog with patience, structure, and attention. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and relaxed — and for you to feel fully confident while they’re in my care.

“Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.”

“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“Great sitter! Sent pictures how my Harley was doing. Great picture! Harley was very happy with Kim. Kim was very kind and patient with Hailey. I felt Harley was very safe with Kim and she spoiled him like he was one of her own. Excellent 👌.”
“This was a great experience for our dog! The fact that he was in a home setting versus a kennel situation was excellent. We had no worries that Charley was being well cared for. Ed hies way beyond what we had hoped for. We will definitely use him again!”
“Jennifer and her family provided excellent care for my senior dog, Molly. Molly was loved and well taken care of. Molly wasn't stressed when I picked her up and felt right at home with Jennifer's family. I can't say enough great things! Excellent communicator, received pictures daily, beautiful clean home, nice, kind and welcoming! When needing a sitter, she's always my first go-to. Jennifer is the absolute BEST!”

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!
“I needed a flexible sitter while I worked a vendor show plus it was my first Rover stay. Jeanne was so kind and accommodating! I loved all the photos she sent and the feedback she gave me on how good my Lady was doing with the other dogs. I felt like a proud dog mom! I not only felt like my dog was safe and cared for, but it was also great to know that she was having so much fun! Thanks Jeanne for a great first experience with Rover.”
“Jessie was a great dog sitter for my rambunctious lab! She greeted us warmly and I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I got phots and plenty of communication while I was out of town for the weekend. I would definitely trust her to dogsit in the future.”
“Larisa is very good with dogs. I also love that she keeps the dogs in her home. Our dog doesn't have separation anxiety but misses us terribly when we're gone. Being with a loving person really helped.”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ralph to watch our German shepherd. We asked him to watch her pretty last minute and he was very accommodating and took great care of her. She walked in as if she remembered that she was somewhere that she trusted. Highly recommend Ralph!”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
“Kristen was amazing! She kept us up to date on how everything was going. She also sent pictures and went above and beyond to make our puppies feel comfortable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!”
