“AAA+++! Couldn't be happier! Lots of photos and videos. Louie had a great time .... made new play and snuggle buds! Thanks for the love and attention, Anthony! See you next time!”

“Amanda is everything you want in a sitter! Daily updates, pictures, and reassurance you pup is in good hands. My dog was so happy with her, he got out of the car to get one last pet from Amanda. I can’t say enough good things! It’s hard leaving your pet, but Amanda’s care and love of animals allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worry. It helps she is very comfortable with older dogs that need extra attention. Thank you, Amanda!!”

“This was Josie’s second stay with Maureen. It was another exceptional stay. Josie had a number of walks and snuggle times on the couch. Maureen is wonderful about sending pictures so we can see how much fun Josie is having. Thank you, Maureen, for taking such good care of our Josie!”

“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”

“Amazing amazing!! Took such great care of our puppy!!! And such a sweet family!!! They were all in on taking care of pup! Loved the picture updates & appreciate quick responses! Thank you!”

“Caroline provides great care to our dog! She gives lots of playtime outside with the other dogs and provides sweet video updates. We’re always very happy with our experience!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ George is a gem of a dog sitter! Leaving my pup in someone else’s care is never easy, but George made the entire experience feel seamless and safe. From the moment we met, his calm energy and genuine love for animals were obvious. He kept my dog’s routine intact, sent regular updates (including adorable photos!). What really stood out was how attuned George was to my dog’s emotional needs. She’s usually shy around new people, but she warmed up to him quickly and that speaks volumes. My flight was delayed many times, but he made sure that he was flexible and continued to take care of my dog until I was able to figure things out . I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a clean home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book George again for all my future trips or recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.”


“I don’t know what more I can add to the many glowing reviews Jo Ann already has, so I’ll just say you’ll be very happy if you are lucky enough to have your dogs stay with her. Lots of pictures sent to us and I was not worried at all about our 2 dogs while they were with her. They seemed relaxed and happy at her home.”

“Andrew and his partner were great! They arranged a meet and greet and asked good questions to help them best care for my pup while we were away. I got daily pictures and he looked comfortable/relaxed and happy in all of them!”

“They are fantastic! Bill and Sandy watched our little guy for over a week while we were on vacation, and we could tell he was happy and incredibly well taken care of the entire time. They have a lovely home and it’s very apparent how much they enjoy caring for dogs.”

“Kayden is very friendly and knowledgable about dogs. Milo, our dog, is elderly and I was a bit worried about the interactions between his energetic dogs and mine. But all went well and Milo came home healthy and happy after a full week with Kayden, his partner and their four-legged friends. The second concern I had was the small outside area he had available for the dogs to do their business. Milo is picky about where he goes potty and, since there was no grass, I wasn't sure how that would go. Again, Kayden handled it well, taking Milo out for walks when needed. I would take Milo back for future visits if the need arises.”

“This was our second time leaving both our dogs with Marija and we are just as happy as we were the first time. We’re very thankful for her and her family’s kindness and love for our dogs!”

“We booked an overnight "trial run" to see how comfortable our dog Hobbes would feel in these new surroundings so that we could be comfortable with a lengthier stay later. I could tell Hobbes was cared for well. Looking forward to using them in the future!”


“I used Shelly’s dog boarding services for a 9-day vacation. She sent many photo updates and I could tell my dog Cooper was having a blast at her home! I’d highly recommend Shelly for your pet care needs.”

“Susan was great to communicate with and easy to work with. Even when unexpected things came up, she was upfront and worked out a good situation for our dog. She was also flexible with pickup when our flight was an hour delayed getting back.”

“Don’t hesitate to book with Amanda!! Amanda and her husband were amazing!! I was super anxious about leaving my min pin to go on a vacation. He can be a lot of work and kind of needy and anxious. I almost never leave him. But she understood and sent me all kinds of updates, pics and texts all the time. It really helped me to be able to let go and relax a little. Amanda is so sweet and caring. I will definitely book with her again!!! <3”

“Thank you! Scout had a great time…came home and napped! He had fun playing in their big yard and playing with other dogs! We loved receiving his frequent pictures. Thanks for taking great care of our sweet Scout!”

“Barbara and Dirk and Zoe were amazing! They welcomed Oliver into their home with love and affection. He was so comfortable and at ease with them. He settled right in and quickly became part of their household. They send me photos and updates while we were gone and I could see he was happy and relaxed with them. We highly recommend them we will definitely leave Olie with them when we need to travel in the future. They are the best!💕”

“Arden is hands down the best kitty sitter we have ever found on Rover! She is responsible, communicative and most importantly, will love your pet like her own. Thank you Arden, we hope to see you again soon!”


“Taylor always takes such good care of our cats. We love how she always sends a Rover card so we can see how the cats are doing and if they’re eating while we’re gone”


“Kara was excellent! Will definitely seek her out to take care of my kitties in the future. I’m sure they are sad, not having her coming by for pjay time and pets. Everything great! Thank you :)”


“Hana visited our home and cared our cats once every three-day during our overseas travels. During this periods, our home had multiple Wi-Fi and technical issues affecting our cat machines, we felt grateful Hana was able to tackle the issues, so we didn't need to request too many extra visit or worried about the cats on the other side of the globe. We are very pleased Hana was our cats sitter, and highly recommend her!!”

“Barb was awesome! She took great care of Haley and kept me well informed. She really tried to get to know our sweet but skittish kitty. I’ll definitely use again, highly recommend!”


“Thank you so much Jessica, Loki and Freya loved you stopping by everyday to take care of them as did I, it is so nice to have someone thats responsible and trustworthy to rely on while you're away, we appreciate you very much. Mandy 😁”


“As always, Heather is reliable and wonderful. We travel many weekends for kids' activities, but we never worry about our pets because we know we can count on her to take excellent care of them!”

“Carissa dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend. It was my first time leaving them after a move and I was worried about how they might react. Carissa's detailed Rover cards helped me feel confident they remained in good spirits during my absence. My cats love playing feather stick toy with her and look forward to having her back soon!”

“Lauren and Ian were perfect. They came every day on time and followed the care instructions perfectly. I have a hiding kitty and they communicated well about him and gave lots of love and play to my other cat. They even brought in our mail and boxes daily. Would definitely recommend and hire again in the future!”


“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! 🐾 She helped me out with walks and drop-in visits and took such great care of him while I was away. She kept me updated after each visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Charlie was happy and being well cared for. It was clear Charlie was comfortable with Lauren and enjoyed spending time with her. I really appreciated how reliable, caring, and communicative she was. I would absolutely trust Lauren with Charlie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and loving to care for their fur baby! ❤️🐶”

“This was my first time to have anyone drop in on my cats. When I met Theresa, I felt things would be ok when I was gone. Her Rover cards made me feel that they were being cared for. Jojo needs a pill every day, and she made sure that happened. I am rebooking her for my next long weekend.”
“Absolutely loved Melissa as our sitter. Sent multiple photos a day with status updates. Made us feel extremely reassured that Maisie was being taken care of while we were away. Would definitely rebook Melissa again!”

“Christine was communicative and came over for a meet and greet before taking care of the cats. She got a picture of Lola each day but Batman was hiding.”

“Emi-Lu was so great with my two cats! It’s comforting to have sometime to trust while out of town to take care of your babies and Emi-Lu was that for us! She fed them, played with them, and cleaned the litter box (who doesn’t like coming home to a clean litter box - honestly!!!). Will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Absolutely fantastic! She was so kind, communicative, & thorough with watching my kitties. I have multiple cats ranging in age & care needs, but Fatima handled them all so well. She truly went above & beyond. The whole experience went so smoothly & I felt such a huge weight off my shoulders knowing my kitties had Fatima with them. They all loved her!”


“Lacy is so friendly and very responsive! She reached out when there were questions too. My cats were happy and fed while we were away for a trip. We even got lots of photos during the visits! Would definitely have her watch my pets again.”

“(This is my second review, go read my first!). As a dual pilot household with no family in the area and 3 cats, we need care for our cats often. We are SO SO thankful for finding Silvia on here. She is truly the best! She is someone you can count on, reliable, responsive, and soo caring to our cats. We have booked her multiple times since we first booked her. Look no further, your animals will be in the best care!”

“Erin was absolutely incredible. We were in Ann Arbor for my niece's surgery and we suddenly needed to book a last-minute doggy day care for our Luna. Erin responded so quickly and offered to watch our dog. She lives in a great, quiet neighborhood and has two dogs that she let Luna play with! Erin was so kind, sent so many updates, and was just such a blessing to have for the few days we needed doggy day care. We trust our dog with Erin 100% and highly recommend her as a sitter - she's fantastic, responds immediately, provides great updates, and is an overall fantastic person! 10/10!”

“I am so happy we found Theresa and Glenn they’re wonderful people in love going to their house and playing with the other dogs as soon as we pull up she’s very excited to be there. I feel blessed to have found them.”

“Amanda was amazing with our 2 large dogs:) There was an unexpected situation for us and she was accommodating with scheduling a meet and greet and the days we needed care. She was very flexible since the times were not set in stone. She sent pictures while the dogs were with her so we could see their fuzzy faces. When I picked them up they were happy to see me but I could tell they definitely felt comfortable with Amanda.”

“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone and we were a little apprehensive, however, Holly was awesome. After talking with her in person we were at ease about leaving Ruger with her. I will use Holly again and I highlighted recommend her.”


“Anthony was very prompt and responsive to my requests and texts. He was warm and friendly at the meet and greet, and I could tell he genuinely loves the dogs. Quizzle seemed to love it there and was sufficiently tire by all the playing that he rested when he got home that afternoon. I highly recommend Anthony.”
“Dena and her family did a great job with Biscuit. She was happy and content when I picked her up. It is clear that they provided her with loving care. We will definitely be back.”

“Barbara & Dirk are excellent dog sitters. They are very loving to the dogs and very welcoming. Zoey their small Morkie is adorable and very charming. She is a great hostess and plays so nicely with her visitors. My dogs walked right to the front door and were happy to spend the day with Barbara, Dirk and Zoey after meeting them. We are anxious for our next visit and highly recommend them.”

“Harriet had a great first visit at Monica’s! I really appreciated how Monica listened and asked questions to get to know Harriet. We are looking forward to the next time Harriet can go visit and play at her house!”

“Thank you Holland! It was lovely meeting you and your family. I felt Assured Fiona was going to have a wonderful time with you and Pidge. Thank you again for accommodating my later schedule.”

“Andrew was great!! Maizie has some insecurities and bonded immediately with Andrew and his parter. She had a great day and a great meet and greet and we are all looking forward to Maizie return visit!! Andrew loves dogs and took time to ask all the right questions. We felt totally comfortable leaving Maizie in his care!!!”

About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
“Thank you Caroline for taking such good care of my Ku'uipo. The video's and pictures you sent of her eating and playing was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Michigan.”

“Concise Review for Aaron and Family Aaron and his family took excellent care of Koda—accommodating, attentive, and genuinely loving. It felt like she was part of their own family. We’re definitely returning and highly recommend them for anyone seeking a trustworthy, comforting home for their pet. Thank you for everything!”

“Debbie is absolutely wonderful, she was so accommodating and worked with me on several changes I needed, her flexibility was awesome also, her dog Ricky is adorable also and played well with my Pearl, I would most definitely work with her again and will!! Thanks so much for everything!”

“Carissa is an amazing dog walker! She’s great with my American Staffordshire mix, Baymax. Well worth the $20! He seems happier after I get home than when I have had friends or family walk him.”

About: I have two cats and grew up with many animals including dogs, bunnies, reptiles, insects, and fish. My cats have had numerous health issues and I’m comfortable administering medications or doing special care with tough babies! I also worked in an animal research lab where we managed care for farm animals around the clock. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Taking care of pets helps me take a break and helps you ensure your pet is getting what they need while you are gone! I have two cats at home, so I am not able to care for other cats, dogs, or pets in my home at this time unfortunately.
“Melissa was such a huge help - she responded to a last minute booking and walked and fed Lena for me while I was stuck at work. I greatly appreciated all of the pictures and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!
“Lyle did an AMAZING job others both of our dogs - 4 year old GSD and 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle mix. He is prompt, kind, trustworthy and best of all VERY experienced. Our dogs were so well behaved long after he was with them. We have since booked 2 additional future occasions and plan to book more. Highly recommended sitter!”

“I am so thankful for Michelle. She is a quality person who took amazing care of my sweet dog on an extended vacation. She is a wonderful communicator, reliable and most importantly took exceptional care of my dog. It allowed me to have a stress free vacation knowing that my dog had a walk and got out in the bitter cold and my elderly parent was not faced with that chore. Thank you Michelle. I am so glad to have met you you’re truly a blessing.”

“Fatima is amazing!! She is prompt and caring, and always leaves me feeling at ease after walking my pet. She is attentive to my dog’s needs and communicates efficiently upon my request :)”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.
“Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!”

About: I’ve always been the person animals gravitate toward. I grew up with cats and later had two Italian Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable with both small pets and big, strong personalities. I almost became a vet at one point, but after shadowing, I realized my heart just couldn’t handle that side of things. What I do love is creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for animals to just be. In my day-to-day life, I run my own business and come from a background in events and marketing, so I’m naturally very detail-oriented and respectful of your space. I’m also a competitive figure skater, which means I’m disciplined, reliable, and consistent especially when it comes to routines and care. I keep a flexible, self-managed schedule, which allows me to be very intentional with the time and care I give to each home and pet. I’m able to adapt to your pet's routine and make sure visits feel consistent, calm, and reliable while you’re away. I approach pet care in a really intentional, calm way. I let animals set the tone and focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to your home. I follow routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is locked up and secure. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a space that feels just as you left it.
