“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”

“Michelle is an amazing host who clearly loves dogs and cats! She is thoughtful, an excellent communicator, and a true animal lover. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and we look forward to having our beloved Polly stay with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”

“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”

“Sydney enjoyed another fantastic stay with Jason, Kristen and family! We know she will be spoiled and well taken care of while we are away. Their timely communication and frequent pictures are appreciated while we are away.”

“Sara was fantastic! Milo had a great time and came back happy! She gave regular updates, kept him entertained. We will definitely use her again when we are in the area.”


“Stephanie is fantastic! We recommend her to anyone in the area. Our Bernedoodle, Rosie, was 1 year and 3 months old when she stayed with Stephanie. We were heading up on a family trip for two nights and needed boarding services last-minute. Stephanie insisted that we meet in person first to make sure Rosie would be comfortable at her house (which we appreciated). So we met the day before we left for our trip and were happy to bring Rosie back the next day! She stayed Friday and Saturday night-we received a few pictures and great updates throughout the weekend about Rosie having fun with the other dogs. When we picked her up on Sunday she was happy and ready for a nap!”


“Ziggy loves boarding with Mandy 😊 She sends daily pics and updates, which is so relieving and it’s nice to see him enjoying his stay while I’m away. She is flexible, responsive, and takes great care of Ziggy. Thanks Mandy!”


“My dog gets to go on vacation every time she goes to Joni’s house! She even knows her by name. I couldn’t recommend her enough... a true dog person that cares way more for your pup than the money. I’m SO impressed! Now if I could just book some time at Joni’s for myself! ?”

“Amazing environment. My dog has lots of room to run around as well as another playful dog so he was always active. Kimberly sent lots of pictures and my dog looked happy in every one of them.”

“Kasey could not have been a better sitter! She made me feel so at ease, taking over for me in a sticky situation! She was able to watch the pup last minute, making the transition seamless with plenty of videos to make me smile!!”

“Sara and her family treated Kiwi like a true family member while we were away for 4 nights!!! She absolutely loved all of the attention from the kiddos, and Kiwi got treated to walks, trip to the park, and family time. We received daily updates with the cutest pictures. We will definitely be coming back to Sara for future needs when we are out of town!”


“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”

“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”

“Victoria and Rishi were great with our puppy! We needed to extend his stay with them by a night last-minute and they were very receptive. We could tell that he was well taken care of at their house and he had a great time playing with the other dogs.”

“Julie did an excellent job caring for my dog. This was my first experience boarding my dog through Rover. I will definitely try to book with Julie in the future. She sent text updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much, Julie!”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”


“I could not recommend Tracy enough. She was great checking in on our cat, making sure she was ok and giving her extra attention. Tracy communicates well and sends wonderful pics of our kitty. Highly recommend her services!!”


“Cheyenne was a great pet sitter, and my cat absolutely loves her! She followed my instructions well and was very communicative and responsive, giving detailed updates and photos each day. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I had to change the booking due to travel issues.”


“Emily is very professional on time. Great with animals and overall a very kind person. I would recommend her to anyone when she’s in the area. I will be going through her again. Thank you, Emily.”


“Emily is absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and so understanding with taking care of my cat who was going through some GI issues and needed medication while I was away. Emily’s a rockstar and the absolute best. I was and am so so grateful to her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!”


“Isabella was very accommodating for our pets and when we had to switch it up a little with our plans. Would definitely trust her to pet sit again! She’s super sweet and attentive, eager to give the pets her best 😊”


About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life—starting with barn cats and now home cats, including plenty of playful kittens. They’re curious, lovable creatures, and I treat each one with the care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving them affection, I make sure your cats feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“Karen sent us daily pictures of Max and kept us up to date. Karen dropped in one time per day to check on Max and make sure he was ok. Scooped litter boxes, and made sure he had food and water, and gave him some attention.”


“Makayla is so kind and so great with my kitty, Misty. My kitty loves her and they really enjoy each other! Definitely will keep booking her to care for my Misty. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little with my own dogs as well as dog sitting family members and others pets as well. I have pet sat for Great Danes as well as small dogs. I’m currently in undergrad at Michigan State and hope to go to school to be in the Veterinary field. I’m currently in Undergrad at Michigan State but I come home on weekends to Grand Rapids when I can. I’m open during the evening as well as weekend in general. I spend time with pets and make sure they get the care they need. I also make sure to play with them and engage them to build trust.

“Kimberly was super flexible and great with our 7 month old pup, Maggie! She communicated well with us ahead of time and made the whole process smooth as we were navigating Rover for the first time. Her dog Sparky got along great with our dog and Maggie was nice and tired out in the evening. Thanks again!”

“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”

“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni.

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”


About: I've been caring for dogs my entire highschool career and I'm keeping it going while I'm in college. I have cared for big, small, older, and special need dogs. I can handle any challenge the pet may bring. I grew up with cats, dogs, fishes, and Axolotls, always at least 4 animals in the house at one time! I'm at school from 8:10am-11:30am On Monday-Thursday with plenty of time for check ins morning, afternoon, and evening. I am often busy on Fridays during the spring and fall but my weekends are completely open! I am familiar with care for all types of dogs and their quirks, I give frequent walks, make sure food and water is available, and play with them. I like to provide as much comfort as I can to pets that miss their owners.

“Leah was on time, did a great job walking the dogs, and is very nice! I will definitely have her walk my dogs in the future. She even agreed to a meet and great prior to walking the dogs, which gave me peace of mind. She's very accommodating.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Lori was incredibly sweet and patient with both me and my dog. A wonderful dog walker and a wonderful person. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you.”

About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently coaching in Howell. Practice is mornings 7-9 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Games are on Wednesday in the evening and Saturday afternoon. I volunteer with a Soccer club in Lansing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
“Leah is wonderful she is prompt always there!! She takes great care in walking Jax who is a senior dog!! Sends me updates and pictures every time she walks him!! He loves her! I would highly recommend her!!”

“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”


About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.
“Emily has great communication and is very reliable, even with the terrible weather and my need for night walks. Beanie had a great time! I love that Emily really listened to Beanie when he was ready to go in and then spoiled Beanie with pets 🥹 will definitely be using Emily again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog while enrolled at Michigan State for the past 2 years. Now he is living with my girlfriend in Colorado while she is enrolled in Vet School. I also have experience with elderly dogs and puppies! My family has had both in recent years. I love walking or just hanging out with dogs. Im currently enrolled in a masters program at Michigan State but am taking 12 credits currently and have a flexible schedule day to day to take care of pets. I have experience with a larger high energy collie over the past few years, elderly dogs, and puppies with my family having both an elderly dog and a puppy in recent years.
“Emily was right on time. She texted me to let me know that she was arriving. She’s so nice and pleasant. My dog was quite happy to meet her. I was really happy that I have found her. Thank you.”


About: I've taken care of pets my entire life! Not only do I have a cat of my own, but I pet-sit for several neighbors/friends of the family and have always been asked back next time they need a sitter. I pride myself on listening to pets and making sure they're comfortable with me; I love learning the unique preferences of every animal! I'm currently working part-time on much my own schedule, so at the moment I am available 24/7. It is my intention for pet care to be my primary job! As I have a cat, I do my best to make sure there isn't fur on my clothes before caring for your pet(s). Additionally, I wash my hands before and after each pet/household. I love playing with any animal and am happy to run around and participate in higher-energy play if needed. I also tailor care to each animal; while I have a usual routine in terms of order of operations (if there's feeding, medicine, cleaning), how each animal is treated depends on their preferences and personality. Unchanging is the respect and care I show to every pet.
