“Very good caregiver first time leaving my dog with a caregiver and she was excellent sent updates every day and my dog seem to be very happy. I will definitely use her again.”
“Never had a better,safer , experience in my life with a service! I’m so grateful that Amanda allowed me the peace of mind to travel and take care of a difficult business transaction. She even figured out a better way to use my current dog foods to my pups’ satisfaction. Her family and children only provided a better experience for my dogs. Very highly recommended!”
“Laura was great! My dog was loved and cared for while we were busy getting married. She was very responsive and sent photos of him regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Mou & Yanling were amazing with our seven-year-old doggy; she is a well-behaved dog but can be reactive with other dogs. They were very patient and loving, and when I picked her up, I could see how happy her stay was. They sent me videos and pictures daily, and my dog looked so happy. They also stitched and fixed a sweater she wore, which was so sweet and kind. Our doggy's stay was four days. I will book them again for my doggy's next boarding if available, and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Mou & Yanling, for being so caring and loving with Sparrow :)”
“Lindsey is VERY professional. She documented all my dogs belongings as well as distributed his medication. I’ve always been very nervous about leaving my dog with other people because of his needs, but she was very attentive. He seemed very happy with her. She also sent daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with her again.”
“10000/10! First time rover user and first time leaving my dog with a "stranger" overnight so I was super nervous doing so. I had a 10 day trip planned and my family who would normally help out could no longer watch my dog. Monica responded quickly to my initial request and even made time for a quick meet and greet a week before to help ease my nerves. She has a nice, clean house with a beautiful big fenced in yard, which was perfect for my dog. You can tell she truly cares about the wellbeing of your pet and making sure that YOU are as comfortable as possible. I received pictures and messages that helped to reassure me that my dog was doing well and was loved! She and her husband treated him like their own, which made this entire process so much easier for me. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Monica through Rover. I would (and will) absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter for your pet!”
“Janelle was phenomenal with my dog Roxy. She sent the cutest photos, took great care with my dog’s special quirks, and even helped when my dog had a skin problem. She is a strong communicator and treated my pup as her own. I will rebook in an instant. Cannot recommend her enough! Her space is clean and cozy and her neighborhood is full of nature to explore”
“Hali was amazing with my dog! I felt very comfortable leaving him in great hands, and Hali was sure to provide lots of updates and pictures. My dog made fast friends with her pups and came home absolutely exhausted so I know he got in lots of playtime and will be excited to go back!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently own a dog myself, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as a member of the family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. I’ve personally trained puppies and enjoy helping reinforce good habits, routines, and basic manners through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and walks with a focus on safety, reliability, and communication. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and having a great time. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. My schedule allows me to be available most weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. This gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding while providing reliable, attentive care. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. As a pet owner myself, I know that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. For boarding, pets become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care requests. During walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. I also provide regular photo and message updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you for watching our whole tribe of fur babies. I appreciate the coordinated and organized drop-off and pick up. We received updates throughout their stay and everybody came home safe.”
“Orawan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I came across her profile. She kept me updated daily with pictures of my little fur baby, and took excellent care of her! I will definitely contact Orawan again! Thank you!”
About: Lifelong dog owner and dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments — from gentle seniors and energetic puppies to reactive or anxious dogs who need extra patience and understanding. My background includes dog walking, pet sitting, fostering, and hands-on ownership, giving me the experience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog is happy, exercised, and well cared for every time! I’m currently employed full time, but am fairly flexible weekdays after noon and weekends. I would love to fit some walks/visits into my weekly routine, but will also be on the lookout for walks to break up my workday! We do have a fenced in yard, and the most friendly GSP who loves to play zoomies when we have dog visitors. In your home, I will give your dog lots of love and pets, but also follow any guidelines you set. It is important that dogs know what is expected of them across the board!
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“We were a little nervous using a sitter we didn’t know for the first time, but Kadi put us completely at ease. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Both of our pups instantly took to her, and throughout our time away, she sent regular updates, pictures, and lots of sweet moments that showed just how happy and comfortable they were. It truly felt like they were on their own little vacation! When we picked them up, they were giving her kisses goodbye, which says everything. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Kadi gave our dogs, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!”
“Samatha was fantastic!! Stayed way longer than she had to since my boy was enjoying outside. I will be booking again! She even came over quickly for our meet and greet because I was on a tight schedule. I knew my cats and I were a priority to her. Thank you so much for all the pictures too! I will be recommending you to everyone in my subdivision!”
“Julia did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and I felt like I could relax while traveling knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
“Olivia is a very sweet person I was lucky enough to have take care of my precious cat Luna. She made sure she was well aware of her needs and went beyond her responsibilities by trying to just be a friend to Luna while I was away. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. 10 out of 10”
“Thank you Kara!! Took great care of my 3 kitties. Made sure all kitties got everything they needed and spent time with them giving them their treats daily.Would definitely book again.”
“Kristen did an amazing job with our three cats. She truly is a cat whisperer! From the moment she met them, they were calm and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. We are so grateful and will absolutely use her again.”
“My partner and I have been hiring Genie regularly since May to care for our 21 (Mimi) and 11 year young (Baby) kitties. She is kind, caring, follows our instructions, and is patient with the very different needs of each kitty. Genie is has always been professional, respectful, and is extremely easy to get a hold of. This last visit, she took extra time with our shy Baby, bringing her a toy and capturing her playing with it on video! Baby doesn’t even play with me! So needless to say, we feel very lucky to have met Genie, and so do Mimi and Baby.”

“After meeting Alayna before our vacation, we felt completely comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She payed careful attention to instructions and asked good questions. And, sure enough, she did everything perfectly while we were away and her communication was excellent after each drop-in. She even did extra things to look after the household while we were away and that was really appreciated, too. She's smart and sharp and nice, with a sweet personality as well as obviously being great with animals.”
“Sarah is such a great person and we are more than grateful for all her support in taking care of our babies!💕🐱🐱. We will definitely consider her for any future travel plans!!”

“This was our first time using this service and Abby did not disappoint! While we were down in Central America Abby took care of our fur baby Mufasa. She did awesome and sent us pictures everyday! She was always on time for the two times a day visits for him! We will be using her again! Highly recommend!”
“Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!”

“I just recently started leaving my puppy loki with orawan, and he now gets so excited every time he gets to go there.

I am very happy and will continue to use orawan.”

About: I am always smiling brightly every time I have the opportunity to be with an animal. (I have many photos of this to share!) I love all types of these precious beings! Some of my life experiences include: Parenting Dogs, Cats, Kittens, Lizards, and Senior Pets. I have assisted in kitten birth and successfully bonded with, and adopted a feral kitten who (still) adores me... Yay! 😁 I have also cared for a very sick lizard who required a lot of care by myself for a few long months. All types of animals seem to be attracted to me, including... dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, donkeys, goats, possums, squirrels, etc. I love the saying, "If animals are drawn to you, it's not random. They can sense good energy and are naturally drawn to calm and safe vibes." I have been a volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society and I am also a medical professional (for humans). *Disclaimer: My '30' years of experience is personal, not professional. 📆 My typical availability might be something like: M-Th evenings 6-9pm (I may arrive in medical scrubs), Friday afternoon 10am-3pm and some Saturdays and Sundays.✨ This schedule is not definite, not always available and varies. Sometimes I will even be available other times. I will keep my calendar date availability as close to accurate as possible but times can't be scheduled daily so they won't be accurate in my calendar, unfortunately. 📆 🏠 House sitting can also 'sometimes' be booked with notice if not marked 'Unavailable' in my calendar, even though that service is not activated in my profile. 🏠 👍🏾 Since I am attempting to transition from human care to animal care, I still work full time (plus) in the Human Healthcare field and my work schedule varies. 👍🏼 🐈⬛ I have always had a strong desire to work with animals and I am hoping to finally transition from human care to animal care. I did not choose to work medically with animals as my career because I prefer to interact with animals and enjoy what they bring to the world, rather than do restraining and invasive procedures on them. 🐶 I am pretty intuitive about what makes an animal happy (and not) and I would make their time with me as awesome as I possibly can! Additionally, I would happily engage farm animals, birds, and others to my full ability!
About: I have owned dogs and cats and love them like children. I love to play and cuddle with them. I am good at spoiling them and also make sure they get their routine checkups. Also have had their teeth cleaned and use flea prevention. I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats over the years on and off. I love to walk, the more the better. I also donate to rescue agencies to help them care for those in need. I am self employed so my hours vary and are fairly flexible. I don't ever work long hours so I am always available up to a few times a day or could possibly do overnight stays. I have 2 cats at home so it's best if I take care of yours in your home..It's still possible I could take them in mine if introduced and they get along. I follow directions well and give a lot of attention..
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of professional experience, I am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate pet care. I have cared for animals since I was around 6 years old and officially began offering professional pet sitting services through Rover in February 2018. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many beloved pets and building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats has helped me develop a natural understanding of animal behavior, body language, and emotional needs from an early age. Caring for animals has always felt like my true calling, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment for every pet in my care. I founded and operated a local animal rescue organization, where I coordinated care initiatives and collaborated with volunteers and established rescue groups to support animal welfare, rehabilitation, and rehoming efforts. I bring six years of professional experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, with specialized expertise in small mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, fish, and neonatal kitten care. --------------------------------------------------------- Certifications & Specialized Training I continuously expand my knowledge to provide the highest quality care possible. My certifications include but are not limited to: -Pet First Aid & CPR Certification -Pet First Aid Certification -Pet Psychology Certification -Pet Sitting Certification -Pet Nutrition Certification -Dog Grooming Certification -Complete Pet Care Certification -Introduction to Being a Dog Trainer Certification -Animal Physiotherapy Certification -Animal Reiki Certification -Canine Communication Certification -Introduction to Cat Behavior Certification -Introduction to Reptile Care Certification -Learn to Communicate with Animals and Nature Certification -Advanced Animal Care Certification --------------------------------------------------------- About My Care & Schedule Pet sitting is my full-time career, allowing me to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. I am very much a homebody, which means your pet will spend the majority of their stay in a calm, supervised, and comfortable environment with plenty of companionship and attention. My schedule is moderately flexible, though I ask clients to keep drop-off and pick-up windows within a one-hour timeframe whenever possible. Timeliness is greatly appreciated, as I reserve these periods specifically for client transitions. Schedule changes should be requested at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible. Delays exceeding one hour may result in a $20 late fee. --------------------------------------------------------- Important Notes for Daycare Clients Daycare for dogs requiring constant supervision is currently available during evening hours only. If your dog cannot comfortably be left alone for 2–4 hours, I may not be the best fit for daytime daycare services. --------------------------------------------------------- Meet & Greets A meet and greet is required prior to all first-time bookings to ensure compatibility and help your pet become comfortable with me, my home, and my resident pets. Each new client receives one complimentary 45-minute meet and greet. Additional meet and greets are available for a $15 fee per session. --------------------------------------------------------- Daily Updates I provide at least one daily update including 2–5 photos or videos, though many clients receive additional updates throughout their pet’s stay. I am happy to accommodate reasonable communication preferences discussed during the meet and greet. --------------------------------------------------------- Rates & Policies My rates are firm and reflect the level of care, experience, supervision, and accommodations I provide. I do not offer discounts, price matching, or negotiated pricing. --------------------------------------------------------- Safety & Home Environment Safety is one of my highest priorities. I have created a dedicated, dog-proofed area within my home designed specifically for pet care and supervision. My home includes: -Child safety locks on cabinets, closets, stove knobs, and oven doors -Secured gates creating multiple safety barriers near exits -Pet monitoring cameras for continuous supervision -Multiple crate sizes available if needed or in case of emergencies -A large fenced yard for safe exercise and play -Additional long-lead safety systems for small dogs or escape-prone dogs -Climate-controlled indoor areas with monitored temperatures -Thorough sanitation of all pet areas, bowls, toys, crates, and surfaces Pets are never left unsupervised outdoors, and outdoor time is carefully monitored during warmer temperatures to prevent overheating, especially for brachycephalic or heat-sensitive breeds. Inside, dogs enjoy a spacious, comfortable environment complete with dog beds, a twin mattress lounge area, toys, chews, and individualized storage for belongings and food. All pets are fed separately to safely monitor eating habits and prevent food guarding or accidental food sharing. --------------------------------------------------------- Medical & Special Needs Experience I am certified in pet first aid and CPR and experienced with administering oral and injectable medications. I also have hands-on experience caring for: -Senior dogs -Dogs with separation anxiety -Deaf or blind dogs -Tripod dogs -Dogs with mobility challenges or rear-end paralysis -Fearful or skittish dogs -Dogs with incontinence issues I closely monitor every pet’s appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, activity level, and overall behavior to quickly identify any potential concerns. I also maintain 24/7 access to transportation in the event veterinary care is needed during your pet’s stay. --------------------------------------------------------- Multi-Dog Household & Socialization I maintain a structured and carefully managed pack environment and may care for up to 5-7 dogs from different households at one time. Every dog is thoroughly screened and introduced slowly and safely to ensure compatibility and positive interactions. My home also includes two indoor cats. Dogs are introduced carefully to ensure appropriate behavior around cats. Additional small pets are securely housed in dog-free areas and are never directly interacted with by visiting dogs. --------------------------------------------------------- Additional Services Offered Per request pending additional service fees: -Transportation to and from my home (additional fee based on distance) -Sanitary baths -Nail trimming -Basic maintenance brushing and coat blow-outs For transportation, dogs must wear a properly fitted harness for safe vehicle restraint. Grooming services are limited to basic maintenance and are only performed if your pet is comfortable and cooperative during the process. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, loving, and low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time pet sitter, so caring for animals is my primary focus and fits naturally into my daily routine. Because I spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am only away for short periods to complete errands or provide scheduled drop-in visits for other clients. Safety is a cornerstone of my pet-sitting approach. I hold multiple certifications, including Pet First Aid and CPR, along with additional training in the care of a variety of animal species. I also bring six years of professional experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, which has strengthened my ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of animal needs and behaviors. I provide a secure, pet-proofed room designed for dogs to safely play, relax, and feel comfortable. To further ensure a safe environment, I use nanny cameras to monitor pets when I am in other areas of the home or away on errands, helping me maintain attentive oversight at all times.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, my family had a Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, a Westie, and a Yorkie, and I currently have a Border Collie/Golden Retriever puppy named Finn.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re apart! My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have availability for drop in visits on weekdays until 3:00 PM. I’m happy to work with a variety of time slots and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to provide dependable care that fits seamlessly into their day! My dog’s safety, happiness, and well being are always my top priority. I keep Finn on a consistent feeding schedule and make sure he gets plenty of daily exercise, enrichment, and attention. We go on walks every day, spend time playing outside, and on warmer days he loves cooling off in his kiddie pool. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and burn off energy while being supervised. Socialization is extremely important, so Finn enjoys spending time with other dogs and running around outside with them. Most importantly, I make sure he feels loved, safe, and included in my daily life so that means he joins me on my Starbucks run for a pup cup! I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, and I will provide a safe, reliable, and loving environment where your dog is cared for as if they were my own.

“Never had a better,safer , experience in my life with a service! I’m so grateful that Amanda allowed me the peace of mind to travel and take care of a difficult business transaction. She even figured out a better way to use my current dog foods to my pups’ satisfaction. Her family and children only provided a better experience for my dogs. Very highly recommended!”
“Laura was great! My dog was loved and cared for while we were busy getting married. She was very responsive and sent photos of him regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey is VERY professional. She documented all my dogs belongings as well as distributed his medication. I’ve always been very nervous about leaving my dog with other people because of his needs, but she was very attentive. He seemed very happy with her. She also sent daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with her again.”
“10000/10! First time rover user and first time leaving my dog with a "stranger" overnight so I was super nervous doing so. I had a 10 day trip planned and my family who would normally help out could no longer watch my dog. Monica responded quickly to my initial request and even made time for a quick meet and greet a week before to help ease my nerves. She has a nice, clean house with a beautiful big fenced in yard, which was perfect for my dog. You can tell she truly cares about the wellbeing of your pet and making sure that YOU are as comfortable as possible. I received pictures and messages that helped to reassure me that my dog was doing well and was loved! She and her husband treated him like their own, which made this entire process so much easier for me. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Monica through Rover. I would (and will) absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter for your pet!”
“Janelle was phenomenal with my dog Roxy. She sent the cutest photos, took great care with my dog’s special quirks, and even helped when my dog had a skin problem. She is a strong communicator and treated my pup as her own. I will rebook in an instant. Cannot recommend her enough! Her space is clean and cozy and her neighborhood is full of nature to explore”
“Hali was amazing with my dog! I felt very comfortable leaving him in great hands, and Hali was sure to provide lots of updates and pictures. My dog made fast friends with her pups and came home absolutely exhausted so I know he got in lots of playtime and will be excited to go back!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently own a dog myself, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as a member of the family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. I’ve personally trained puppies and enjoy helping reinforce good habits, routines, and basic manners through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and walks with a focus on safety, reliability, and communication. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and having a great time. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. My schedule allows me to be available most weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. This gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding while providing reliable, attentive care. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. As a pet owner myself, I know that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. For boarding, pets become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care requests. During walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. I also provide regular photo and message updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you for watching our whole tribe of fur babies. I appreciate the coordinated and organized drop-off and pick up. We received updates throughout their stay and everybody came home safe.”
“Orawan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I came across her profile. She kept me updated daily with pictures of my little fur baby, and took excellent care of her! I will definitely contact Orawan again! Thank you!”
About: Lifelong dog owner and dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments — from gentle seniors and energetic puppies to reactive or anxious dogs who need extra patience and understanding. My background includes dog walking, pet sitting, fostering, and hands-on ownership, giving me the experience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog is happy, exercised, and well cared for every time! I’m currently employed full time, but am fairly flexible weekdays after noon and weekends. I would love to fit some walks/visits into my weekly routine, but will also be on the lookout for walks to break up my workday! We do have a fenced in yard, and the most friendly GSP who loves to play zoomies when we have dog visitors. In your home, I will give your dog lots of love and pets, but also follow any guidelines you set. It is important that dogs know what is expected of them across the board!
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Britnie (and Steve) were the best sitters our Finley could have ever had. Finley stayed with Britnie for one night while we attended an out of town wedding. Britnie and Steve took great care of Finley and he was just like one of the family. We received text updates on how things were going as well as photos. My wife and I were both so pleased with the loving care Finley received. We look forward to the next time we have him stay with Britnie.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”

“Cinnamon was well cared for and we received regular updates from Michael of how she was doing. We were delayed in picking her up when we returned and Michael was very accommodating with the evening arrival.”
