“10 out of 10. No Notes. Attentive. Responsive. Patient. Understanding. Just a few words to describe Erin and the level of care she (and her family) provided. Each day, I received photos and videos, including some behavior updates (Pearl is a puppy after all). While Pearl was excited to see me, I could tell she missed Erin and her family— whimpering the entire car ride home. :) Without hesitation, I would book Erin again. One of the best Rover sitters I have ever experienced.”
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 pup stayed with Ed for the second time and we had a wonderful experience again. Opie came back happy and tired. She had a nail issue while we were gone, but thankfully Ed took care of it and everything is fine. We didn't have to worry at all.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Marv had a great time staying with Jessica and her fellow beagle, Barry. We had just adopted Marv and we were nervous leaving him for so long but he did great and seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We will leave Marv with Jessica and Barry again!”
“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy 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 👌.”
“Another weekend our pup, Arlo spent with Jeanne and friends! We just picked him up and he’s already sleeping on the way home! The pictures and videos we got throughout the weekend helped us relax on our family trip knowing Arlo was having fun and safe☺️ even though we moved away, I will always trust Jeanne with my pets!”

“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!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“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 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!”
“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”

“Pauline is awesome! So friendly and a true lover of animals. She took care of our 2 year old kitty on late notice, sent pictures and updates and gave our girl some love while we were gone. We will be booking again!”
“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!”
“Rhianna was absolutely wonderful with Sawyer! She did in home pet sitting for multiple nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making Sawyer feel comfortable and loved while I was away. She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and gave me total peace of mind throughout the stay — which is priceless when leaving your pet behind. Sawyer came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I will 100% be booking with Rhianna again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind pet sitter!”
“Annika arrived on time, and we went over notes for the dogs. She left detailed notes of her interactions with the dogs and their potty breaks. I hope she will be available to watch my dogs again.”
“Nicole and Chloe were great! They were super helpful during the holiday break. Tana loved her visits every time. Nicole and Chloe even helped bring up our garbage bins when we left them at the end of the street. We are grateful for them and already have them booked for another visit.”
“I contacted Maria late on the evening before we were leaving for a last minute weekend away. This was our first time to use her. She responded and was so sweet to come for a quick meet and greet before we left. We knew right away that she had a special love for cats. She and our Mac connected right away. We loved that she shared many photos with us and let us know what she did on each visit. Maria gave us peace of mind that our boy was being well cared for while we were gone. She also kindly watered my flower pots for me. We highly recommend Maria.”
“Kelsey did a fantastic job taking care of Buddy and Rocky while I was on vacation. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I had while traveling. She fed, cared and spent time with them as if they were her own. The daily check in pictures and texts were so nice to reassure me they were in great hands!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and have been pet sitting since the age of 13. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I currently have three senior cats and a rabbit, who I love to spend my free time with. I am comfortable and have experience with administering medications to cats and dogs, walking dogs, caring for older pets, and working early mornings or late evenings. I would love to meet you and your pet! As a recent college graduate, I currently have full availability and a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I believe that every pet is different, and deserves individualized care based on their personal routine, personality, and needs. Before booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, etc., in order to provide the best care possible for your pets. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and playtime, while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I am also more than happy to provide regular updates, such as texts and photos to the owners, so that they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Kristina is so great with my cats and I never have to worry while I’m out of town!! She has been so nice to them and it is evident in the way they have warmed up to her since the first time she sat for me!”
“Candice is super great and quick with communications, and keeps my cat super entertained by even bringing her new toys while I was gone. My cat is a little shy around people who aren’t me and she was at ease with Candice around!”
“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!”
About: I'm a dedicated animal lover with a proven track record in the pet care industry. My diverse experience includes owning and operating a successful pet training and boarding facility, as well as consulting for a renowned service dog training organization. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the unique bond between humans and animals. My personal "zoo" includes three beloved dogs and a menagerie of other species, reflecting my passion for all creatures great and small. I actively contribute to my community by working with local rescues and animal welfare organizations. My expertise extends beyond dogs to a wide array of animals, from hamsters to horses, with a special affinity for exotic pets. I'm known for my professionalism, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, which consistently earns the trust and affection of both pets and their owners. As an overly attached pet parent myself, I empathize with the worries that come with leaving your furry (or scaly!) family members in someone else's care. That's why I go above and beyond to provide frequent updates and personalized attention, ensuring your peace of mind. When I ran my own facility, I even created individual "blog" pages for each dog, allowing owners to stay connected with their pets daily. I'm thrilled to offer that same level of care and transparency to my current clients. Let me bring my expertise and passion to your pet care needs – your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will thank you! For an extra fee, I can tack on training to daycare or boarding My routine is pet care centric, whether I'm pet sitting or not. I'm almost always doing something with my many pets, particularly the two dogs. I follow strict safety protocols. If needed, I can crate your dog, use double leashes etc. Whatever is necessary for your pet to have the safest environment
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of cats and pets since I was 10. People from my neighborhood, friends, and family. They all have relied on me to check in, feed, give medicine, and simply just to play with them.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! My love for animals has only grown further. I am comfortable giving any medications and dealing with any age range from puppy-senior dogs! I’m available any time to care for pups. Times that would work best for me on weekdays will be mornings and evenings, weekends I am available 24/7! I am comfortable with any breed as I have two German shepherds myself. I am easily able to adapt to any environment/breed and assist with anything you may need. I love going for walks and making sure the dog is getting plenty of active play and has all food/water/medication they may need.

“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.”
“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.”

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!
“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!”

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.
“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!”
“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🥰”

I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”

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.
About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way
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.
“Jennifer is the BEST! I have been looking for someone to really tire out my puppy. She is little with little legs and some people take that to mean a 10 minute walk is sufficient. But I don’t just need her to pee and poop, I need to exercise her brain, and Jennifer gets that. I have been coming home to a happy well exercised pup! Her communication is excellent and I get to see how much fun Betty is having through pictures!”
About: I have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for about 10yrs. I have experience with many breeds(yorkie to pitbull) of all ages(8wk old puppy to 15yr old senior). I walk my own senior dog daily and understand the time and patience they need. I have rescued dogs over the years with different issues and understand each dog is different and has different needs and personalities. I'm fully prepared to try to meet those needs and help them have a great experience with me. Pet Care fits into my free time in the week. I have pretty open availability morning into mid day. I'm available to cover the Midland, Beaverton and Gladwin area Mon, Wed and Fri. I try to be aware of surroundings and other animals to avoid any possible situations that would put your pet in harm or even a stressful situation. I will do my best to make every visit enjoyable and safe for your pet.

About: For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering dogs, gaining extensive experience with all breeds, large and small. My passion lies in building trust and genuine relationships with each individual dog, understanding that every pup needs unique attention and companionship. I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love. I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when ever you need me. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!

“10 out of 10. No Notes. Attentive. Responsive. Patient. Understanding. Just a few words to describe Erin and the level of care she (and her family) provided. Each day, I received photos and videos, including some behavior updates (Pearl is a puppy after all). While Pearl was excited to see me, I could tell she missed Erin and her family— whimpering the entire car ride home. :) Without hesitation, I would book Erin again. One of the best Rover sitters I have ever experienced.”
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 pup stayed with Ed for the second time and we had a wonderful experience again. Opie came back happy and tired. She had a nail issue while we were gone, but thankfully Ed took care of it and everything is fine. We didn't have to worry at all.”
“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.”
“Marv had a great time staying with Jessica and her fellow beagle, Barry. We had just adopted Marv and we were nervous leaving him for so long but he did great and seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We will leave Marv with Jessica and Barry again!”
“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy 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 👌.”
“Another weekend our pup, Arlo spent with Jeanne and friends! We just picked him up and he’s already sleeping on the way home! The pictures and videos we got throughout the weekend helped us relax on our family trip knowing Arlo was having fun and safe☺️ even though we moved away, I will always trust Jeanne with my pets!”
“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!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“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!”
“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”
“My pup had a wonderful time at Janis’s house. He was was well taken care and she made sure to send me pics and updates. I loved the picture of him playing with her pups Emma and Daisy!”
“We love to travel with our cavapoo, but when we can't, it's so nice to have a place where we feel comfortable leaving him. Larissa is very reliable and genuinely seems to care for our dog. Would recommend her 100%!”
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
“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.”
