Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sterling
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sterling
“This was the longest we have left our pup with someone outside of our family and Jerri did great acclimating Issa to the new environment and comforting her when she felt uneasy about the change (or thunderstorms). Our dog did an overnight before our trip to make sure she vibed with Jerri's dogs which helped smooth the transition even more. Jerri gave us regular updates while we were on our trip which made us feel better about leaving our pup while we were gone. Would love to work with Jerri again in the future!”
“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.”
“Kathy is a wonderful dogsitter! It’s always stressful leaving your furry friends behind, but Kathy takes the time to put you and your dogs at ease. She understands the importance of allowing your dog to go at their own pace and acclimate to their environment during the initial meet and greet and each subsequent visit. She never pushes dogs for interactions they aren’t ready for, which is especially important in my case as one of my dogs is fearful and easily stressed. Kathy also has a dog of her own - the tiniest, sweetest thing. Even my very shy dog doesn’t mind her. Overall, I’d say every experience I’ve had with Kathy has been excellent. She’s good with both dogs and people, she’s caring and easy to talk to, and I find her to be trustworthy and dependable. I’m very grateful to have found her!”
“Amber is very accommodating and Mac came back happy and tired. She even agreed to keep him an extra day on short notice. We would not hesitate to book Amber again. Thank you, Amber!”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
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.
“We were traveling through Michigan and needed a cat sitter for two nights. Ashley was great at communicating before we arrived. During our cat's stay, she sent updates with pictures. Would definitely use her again!”
“Dog had a great time. Easy drop off and easy pick up. Kayti is very nice and very professional. Didn’t have to worry about anything while we were good. Seemed to be in good hands after dropping off!”
“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.”

I’m positive they don’t miss me. It makes traveling a lot more enjoyable when I know I don’t have to worry about my girls. “Jess is pawsitively the best.”-Bella and Dusty Rose ♥️🐾🐈⬛”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sterling
“We've taken our dog Lucy to Jerri a few times now, and she is just wonderful! A true dog lover. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She goes above and beyond what we could hope, and we know our pug is super happy when she is there! You can trust your furry baby with Jerri. She's great!”
“Sissy always does a great job with Yeti! Picking him up and dropping him off at the campground we’re staying at and watching him while we’re on a river tubing trip is so helpful and stress-free for us. We will continue to use Sissy anytime we’re vacationing in the area.”
“Samantha is responsive, cheerful and friendly. Tag had a wonderful time staying with her family, including Stanley, a sweet golden retriever. We won’t hesitate to use Samantha again and recommend her highly to others!”
“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.”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! 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!
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.
“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!”
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover. She responded quickly to all of our messages and our pug was in good shape when we went to pick her up. I definitely recommend Lucie for pet care. She's great!”

About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
About: I teach kindergarten. I am endlessly patient, I am tidy, I am a mom of four grown kids, I have my own pets, have rescued (people and pets) and have taken care of them. I also love plants and gardens and will attend to those as a side bonus! Pets, plants, and children are my favorites! I am a teacher. I am gone from 7-4 on weekdays. On weekends, I'm available! I am willing to stay overnight or just stop by to play and relieve your baby! I am willing to come to your house and take care of your pets. I don't mind staying overnight, or just spending some time with them during the day.
“Lucilla was a life saver! We had someone cancel on us last minute, and she was willing to jump in to help make sure our fur baby was taken care of. She is great at communicating and flexible. Highly recommended her!”
