“Brooke is Awesome and we are so Blessed to have found her for our Sparky !!!!! We have booked with her 5 times over the past year and the most recent trip Sparky stayed with Brooke for 13 nights. It is so comforting to know Sparky is loved and very well taken care of !!!! We look forward to our daily updates and pictures that Brooke always sends us showing Sparky happy and having fun with Brooke, her husband Ben and their puggles Buddy and Tobi !!!! Sparky has separation anxiety but each time she stays with Brooke, Sparky adapts easier and quicker ?!!! Sparky's first couple stays with Brooke were doggy day care. When we booked Sparky's first overnights, Brooke was so very flexible and kind to agree to stay in our home overnight with Sparky for 2 nights and then transitioned Sparky to her home for the remaining 3 nights to help Sparky ease into staying away from home with her anxiety for the first time. With Brooke's help Sparky is a champ now and each drop off is easier !!!!! We are so Thankful for Brooke and her Family !!!!!!”

“Taya was absolutely fantastic! All the way from before we booked with her to when we picked Belle up! Taya worked with us on a short notice due to us having issues with a previous boarder. We were getting ready to leave on vacation and she communicated with us right away, sent photos and set up a meet and greet that evening! While Belle stayed there Taya was in constant communication with us via text messages, pictures and videos! Taya has a lot of experience and excepted ( can’t remember if she required it or not)vaccines and prevention which I love! I will absolutely use her again! Can’t say enough about our experience 💕.”

I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”

“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”
About: While I’m new to caring for other people’s cats, I share my home with two of my own—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that cats have their own rules. I know how to give them space when they want it, attention when they ask for it, and how to spot the little signs that tell you something’s off. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a fellow cat parent who gets it.
“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.”
“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover and experienced cat caregiver. I currently have two orange cats of my own, so I understand just how unique every cat’s personality can be—from playful and social to shy and independent. Having cared for cats for many years, I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering lots of affection (on their terms!), and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to keep cats on their normal routine and to respect their individual needs. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own and provide the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your cat wants to chase toys, enjoy quiet companionship, or simply have someone dependable checking in, you can count on me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend!
About: I am a mother of a male longhaired orange named Siren Psycho Trueblood-Hug and a short haired female orange named Tarot Sky Trueblood-Hug. I also currently house and take care of my niece, a black and white named Tiny Athena Salvager. I have rescued and found forever homes for 9 cats in total. 1 from the streets. She was a tabby named Sparrow Ray Grady-Trueblood-Hug. 1 mama cat and her 7 kittens from overbreeding. I always respect a cat’s boundaries and am always happy to appease their silly little games. I am patient and do everything I can to make their environment as stress free and welcoming as possible.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tompkins
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.
About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.
“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!”
“Victoria and her family watched my excitable slightly hyper puppy and treated him as if he was one of their own. He had a blast for his daycare visit. I plan on continuing to trust the care of my pets with them.”
“Danielle and her Alaska Huskies were wonderful! She was fun and helpful and obviously loved my fur babies and set limits so they knew what was acceptable behavior on her turf! She was accommodating as well. One evening my class went overtime. She had no problem keeping my boys until I could be there. She communicated by text to let me know how they were doing each day. She allowed us to visit before our appointed time so my dogs could be introduced to her dogs. Danielle was wonderful! I highly recommend her!!”

“Deb is a true gem! She took such excellent care of my two little dogs and they came home after both days with her with happy faces and tired bodies from playing. My shy girl, Clover even snuggled and took a nap at her house! AMAZING sitter, highly recommend Deb. She has a house designed for pups and a beautiful, peaceful and huge backyard. She's home most of the time and just treats your dogs with genuine love and sweetness. I am moving too far to use her services again, but sad to say so, because our experience with her was just absolutely perfect. There may be sitters in the Battle Creek area that charge less, but having tried them with very mixed results - I assure you Deb is worth every penny!”
About: I’ve devoted my life to animals and taking care of them. I have prior experience in the veterinary field, doggy day cares, and have fostered many dogs over the years for various nonprofits. We live on a small farm and have chickens, quail, cats, rabbits, and kunekune pigs. We also have two dogs. Sylvia is a 12 year old Pit Bull terrier (who is a sweet and lovely advocate for the breed) and Aquila our fun loving 3 year old Icelandic sheepdog. Aquila and I compete in dog sports in our free time. I consider myself especially comfortable with nervous or fearful dogs. I’m currently a stay at home mom and my husband works from home as well, which allows me to have free time throughout the day to accommodate time slots for pet care. As far as boarding goes, one of us is almost always home. While we do not have a fenced yard, we use a long lead that provides lots of room for your dog to play but still be securely attached to me. Our 3 acres allows for walks in the woods and lots of sniffs around our farm animals. We only board one client at a time in our home because quality over quantity is very important to us. If you have a puppy you can expect any training to be ongoing with us and if desired, we can also do extra socialization and outings. Our two children, while very neutral and hands off, are excellent with dogs and are a great positive experience for puppies.
About: I’ve been around my family and friends dogs all my life. I love taking care of them, spending time with them, taking them for walks, getting to know them, and so much more. I have many years of experience with all sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs! I have a lot of free time on my hands as I graduated college recently and am loosely searching for a full time job in my field. I can devote a lot of time to your pups! I can take care of your furry friend in your place of living while also being mindful and caring for your home as well. Or I can take care of your pup in my place of living because I am home most days and able to give them plenty of time outside, lots of cuddles, and lots of love!
About: I have a very dog and cat friendly place to call home. Most days I am outside working around the property and the dogs are out with us. I’ve raised our dogs from 8 weeks old and the Labs are obedience trained and have taken their Canine Good Citizen class to hopefully be Therapy dogs soon. Our Pug is the youngest and raised by the Labs and of course, me. In the evenings it’s relax in the chair time. The dogs love to snuggle up and just nap after playing outside. I make my own work schedule and am able to fit work around pets. Usually only leaving the dogs for an errand run here and there. I go outside with all dogs and walk them on the property. I feed 2 times a day plus a snack or whatever is necessary for any visiting pet along with fresh water at all times. All pets have free range of the house day and night unless otherwise requested. I have an outdoor kennel for nice days if they need to be outside for a little while.
“She took on my temperamental old man, and he came home happy! She gave me updates and pictures through the stay, which I really appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Colleen was great! Her facilities were clean and comfortable. My boys have never been boarded or left with a sitter they didn’t know, but they were clearly comfortable and relaxed staying with Colleen. She sent several pictures of them during their stay that gave me peace of mind that they were in good hands and enjoying their stay. I will definitely seek out Colleen again if I need daycare or boarding services in the future.”
“Carla is super friendly and nice. Wendy loved staying with her and looked kinda upset that she was leaving her place. ? I’ve had multiple people watch her when I’m at work and Carla was the best so far. Highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”
