“Jeremiah was very knowledgeable about dogs and very personable. We took our two French bulldogs to Jeremiah for an overnight stay. He was very willing to learn the puppies’ routines. When we picked them up they appeared happy and well cared for. We will take them back!”

About: I've taken care of many neighbors cats since I was 12 ish, I always leave a good impression for the owner by cleaning up well before I leave and having them come home to very happy kitties. I've helped open up shy cats as well.
About: I've taken care of furry critters my whole life. My neighbors, family, and friends always know they can rely on me. Have trained many dogs/puppies the basics and even how to rollover. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for taking special care of your furry friend. Whether that be an extensive diet, strict schedule, or just special care. I always make sure my animals are living their best life and would do the same for yours. I have a big fenced in yard the dogs love to interact with one another in and play. The cats aren't excluded either, mine are living their purrfect life as well.

About: I absolutely adore animals, but dogs are what I know best. I've always grown up with a dog in my house and currently live with 2 now. I’m happy to help in any way I can while I’m back in school pursuing a degree in healthcare :) I’m currently in school and have classes on Mondays over the summer. I’m happy to work around my study schedule to provide care for your pets. In your home what you say goes. I’m there for your pet and to respect your space. I know how I would feel letting someone in my home, so I hope to put your mind at ease.
“Jeremiah did a great job pet sitting my feline pets. He kept us informed with messages and pictures and their look of happy and contentment told me they were well taken care of. Upon pickup he had everything set up and ready to go for a smooth transition. Jeremiah will be my go-to Sitter for my next trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of of dogs and cats since I could remember. Neighbors, parents friends, or even my friends would ask me to help watch or spend time with their loved animals, I always found meeting new dogs and cats exciting and getting to know their personalities and grow with them quite rewarding, I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat which I am very committed to taking care of and ensuring they live long, happy, and healthy lives. I will always treat any animal as it’s my own, with love, care, and affection. I currently am working 7-3 Wednesday-Sunday and have time after that to take care of any loving pets, as well as my own as I spend time with them and fit their needs, I am dedicated to being able to come right after work, or any event in order to ensure your pet is well taken care of I treat any pet as their are my own. I have trained my dogs to be able to go outside in a unfenced backyard and remain on our property, by rewarding self control, and urges to run off they are skilled well in being able to be outside on their own and when to alert me to be let outside to use the bathroom. Inside the home there are many toys and beds for them to live a comfy and playful life inside with a safe environment for my pets.
About: As a cat owner of three cats myself, I know how important it is to have someone caring and dependable watching over your pets. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and routines, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“Thomye and family spoiled the heck out of Susu, sent lots of pictures, and were great about keeping us updated. When we travel again, we will totally be happy about sending Susu back for his own little vacation.”
About: I’ve been a cat person my whole life and now have 2 of my own, who keep me entertained and on my toes! One of them has had some health issues in the past, so I’m no stranger to extra care and TLC, but she is thriving now. I love getting to know new cats and making sure they feel safe, happy, and spoiled while you are away
About: I've grown up caring for pets, so I understand how much love, patience, and consistency animals need. For the past two years, I've pet sat in clients' homes, staying overnight when needed so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I have experience with dogs and cats. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, basic care, and lots of attention and affection. I always make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and thoughtful care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore—I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates so they feel comfortable while away. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed in a familiar environment.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life from an early age. I participated in many dog related 4-H programs growing up and raised a guiding eye puppy as a teen. I have completed obedience training and agility training with my own dogs. I love to meet new dogs and share in the joy and love that they bring to the world. I currently have flexibility in my schedule. I do have to care for my own dog (Nina), but we can work around her schedule and needs. I have a big yard with walking paths in the back that are provide lots of opportunities for sniffing and potty breaks. We will be getting a fence in the near future.
About: I have always had a cat or dog since I can remember and they are the best companions. I truly enjoy the company of animals, sometimes more than people! I do work 8-5 Mon-Fri but am willing to help if needed. I can stop in before work and/or after work. I am usually a planner, but could take last minute jobs, depending on the area. We have a LARGE yard and our dog (for the most part) stays in his yard. Our cats are strictly house cats. I could feed them, clean the litter box, keep them company for a little while and love on them. If there were other little things that were needed, I wouldn't have a problem helping.

“Jeremiah is a very kind and experienced sitter ... his approach to my very anxious old lady was gentle and expert so that she moved right along with him.

I am very pleased with his knowledge of dogs, the serene surroundings for him to walk a dog, and his patient attitude towards anxious dogs. ... and owners ;-). Thanks you, Jeremiah.”

“My beagle, Annie, spent half a day getting acquainted with Summer, Jazzie, and Finn. After some initial anxiety over being left, she settled in very well thanks to Summer's responsiveness. Soon after I left, she took Annie for a walk with her dogs which distracted and relaxed her a bit. When I picked her up, she was happy and had gotten along well with Jazzie and Finn. Summer responded quickly to my texts and let me know how Annie was doing with texts and pics.”
“Our dog Molly loved playing all day in the large fenced-in back yard. Michaelynn took great care of our youngest "child" so we could attend a wedding nearby. We would recommend this dog sitter completely without hesitation.”

I have room for a crate in my home if need be.
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play!
“Hanna has been a lifesaver as me and my dog Poppy adjust to the area and with the move! Poppy loves going to Hanna’s and playing with her new friends. Poppy is super anxious around other dogs, but she LOVES Hanna’s pups. It’s such a great feeling as a pet owner to know when I drop Poppy off she’s more excited to be there than she is to be at home!”

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I have had dogs the largest being a St.Bernard and the smallest being a Maltese. I have had cats, birds, guinea pigs, gerbils, a rabbit and semi-tropical fish. I consider taking care of pets as much a joy as a responsibility and am available to help care for your pet. I am retired and able to work part-time caring for animals. My past work included working 18 years in corporate travel, 30 years as a part-time bookkeeper for a small manufacturing company and 15 years in the healthcare industry including some private duty. I have many years of experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, parrots and semi-tropical fish. I enjoy their company very much.
“Lilliana was wonderful with communication and flexibility. She has a very nice personality and I felt very confident leaving our senior Yorkie mix with her!”
“Emily and Ryan did a great job watching Hopscotch. They were easy to communicate with and were flexible with my schedule. I would recommend them if you need someone to watch your dog.”
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
About: I've watched and owned not only a German Shepherd for over 15 years, but also cared for exotic animals, such as F1 Savannahs throughout the duration of my life. I just recently retired from the Army summer of 2023. I'm kind of bored and would love to keep myself busy doing something I love. I own a single family home with a small backyard that your fur baby can have access to. With less than a mile if requested I can walk your dog to the dog park.
“Jamie was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, she sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the day. My dogs came home so happy and tired, I know they had such a fun time.”
“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”

“Corrine did a fantastic job with our dog. She met him a day before the scheduled walk to make sure our dog was comfortable with her (which he 100% was). She took him on a nice walk and sent pictures which we appreciated. We will definitely contact Corrine next time we need a walk for our dog.”
“Katelyn is awesome! She’s got a deep history working with animals of all types and helped my nervous pup to be more confident on her first walk with us. She’s clearly great at what she does! Grateful to have found her.”
About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.
“Emilia shows caring with fur boys & girls. She follows my requests with location, allows sniffing, & time for much needed walk/s. Finn is a good soul which goldendoodles are born with. He thanks Emilia for the 30 min. times requested by mom. I will hire her again for future walks when I'm away. Thanks Emilia”
About: I had dogs as I was growing up and have many friends with dogs or cats now. I have gone on walks and runs with dogs and given them baths. I am very flexible and can give walks throughout the day. I do not need too much notice before taking animals for walks just basic information about what they are like and what they need. I take care of pets with lots of respect and will always clean up after them no matter what situation they get into. I give them the attention they deserve and love they need.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own.

About: I grew up a dog lover, and when I moved into an apartment, I became a certified cat person. I have 2 cats of my own that get so stressed out when I go on trips and don't bring them! So I really understand the importance of going above and beyond to play with your pets and keep them company. I am working a full time job that changes hours seasonally. Right now I am available anytime on Monday and Tuesday, and before noon the rest of the week. I am totally comfortable sending pictures and videos of your pets while I’m visiting! We can discuss any other house sitting tasks you would like done, but rest assured and hairballs or other messes will be cleaned!
About: I have three pets (two dogs and a kitten). I have had my dogs since they were puppies and trained both. They are basic and advanced command trained, crate trained, and potty trained. My sister successfully captured a stray kitten and after getting him fully vetted he is now our indoor cat who has been successfully litter trained. I have babysat many of my neighbors dogs and love walking my two dogs. I know how to deliver medicine to pets and feel comfortable caring for older pets. I'm currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule! I am available most weekends and during the week. I start a hybrid college course in January. When I visit your home I ensure to leave things the way I found them (hang up leashed/put toys away) and I am happy to meet a home before care for instructions.
“Another review bc Gina is amazing! Recently Mikey stayed with her for a few days and today she was willing to walk him for me super last minute! She sent so many pictures and updates while I was gone for 3 days and Mikey had SO much fun playing with her dog and her friends dog and he got a nice long walk in today as I was working all day. I love booking with her and will any chance I get!”
“Alicia was so great with our puppy, Doc, and was wonderful with keeping me updated with pictures and texts while she was hanging out with him. She played with him in our backyard and took him for a walk, and when I came home from a 12 hour shift to a happy puppy I was so thankful for Alicia! She was also very quick to respond when I sent a request the day before I needed her help and was such a blessing when I was feeling stressed about leaving poor Doc alone for so long. I'm excited to use Alicia in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: With many years of experience I am highly qualified to care for your pet. Growing up I started a neighborhood pet care business where I would watch my neighbors pets when they were on vacation. This quickly grew and I started letting out neighborhood dogs after school when their parents would get home late. I also grew up with 2 Labradors retrievers and a Corgi. Due to my ever changing schedule I’m not able to commit to adopting a dog at this time so I’ve come to Rover to help the community and get my fill of animal therapy. Currently I am working from home with a part time schedule. A lot of my work can be done at any time. This leaves me ample time to care for your pet. I have a building just outside of downtown that has a large area in the back. There is a park that is around the corner and plenty of sidewalks for walks. Inside my home there are hardwood floors with area rugs. I am a very neat and organized person so there is nothing your pet will be able to get into.
About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

“There is nothing like being away for an entire week and not have to worry! Third time is a charm. My pup was well loved and taken care of while away. What else can one ask for? Jenny and Jonas are the best caregivers !”
“Chris did a great job with our pup over the 4th of July. Our dog struggles with firework anxiety but we got updates from Chris throughout the weekend and he did his best to keep her calm. Thanks Chris!”
“This was the best experience ive had with a sitter! He was so happy and adjusted very well thanks to Kimberlee! She was very attentive and communicated with me often which helped me be comfortable and enjoy my vacation weekend! 10/10, highly recommend!!”
