“Laura took great care of our special needs dachshund, Winston. He looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself, spreading time outside with her in the many pictures and updates she sent. Laura responded quickly to all of our messages and was easy to make arrangements with. She clearly loves animals a lot and gave Winston plenty of attention. We will definitely book again with her soon.”
“Dan and Claire did a great job watching Cooper. I could tell from all the pictures they shared while we were on vacation that Cooper was content, busy, and having a great time. I could see him enjoying the company of all the dogs there as well. Thank you so much!”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Amanda was great at taking care of Hope. Communication was awesome, keeping me updated with photos and videos and she always responded super quick. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“First time we used Rover.com and first time we were away from our dog. I think he had some anxiety but Lyndsey and Justin were great with the whole process.”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”
“Tetyana was fantastic! My pup didn't want to come home after her stay and playtime with Rocky! Tetyana was responsive, sent photos and kept me informed as to how my girl was doing. She administered medications timely and gave me great comfort during my pup's stay. I will definitely ask for her services again!”
“We loved April and her family! She gave regular updates on our dogs with pictures, which we really enjoyed. In the pictures, our dogs looked like they were receiving lots of love and they got along great with April’s dogs! We will definitely go back and recommend her to anyone who needs a temporary family while they are on vacation!”
“Annmarie did a phenomenal job with my dog Xena! Her dogs were very friendly, and got along great. I came with very short notice, and she was very attentive, flexible and and communicative, and I'd 100% go back to her in the future. Extremely happy with my experience!”
“Thea took excellent care of our dog, Joey, while we were away. That makes for an even better vacation knowing that your pet is safe and in such wonderful care. We're looking forward to working with Thea again soon. Thank you!”
“Coryn was great! She went out of her way to meet with Milagro, and even do a group walk beforehand, to get her comfortable with the transition. She was very accommodating on drop off/pick up as well. Milagro enjoyed her stay very much (especially the trip to the park). Thanks Coryn.”
“Anne went above and beyond for my GiGi! It was so nice to have peace of mind while on vacation. She kept my fur baby three nights and followed all instructions on her care. This was GiGi's first time staying with anyone away from her home and Anne was certainly the best choice. Her sweet Ethel was the perfect companion to GiGi, who doesn't like a lot of activity. We are very pleased with our Rover experience and absolutely recommend Anne to care for your pet!”
“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lia and Jonathan when Orla stayed overnight at their home. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They did an amazing job keeping us updated on how Orla was adjusting, sending photos and videos that really reassured us she was happy and settling in well. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they host and treat them like part of the family. One thing that especially touched us was how gentle and sweet Orla was with their 18-month-old son. It was so heartwarming to see their son completely fall in love with her, and it showed how calm and well-handled the environment in their home is. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave Orla and would absolutely trust them with her again. Highly recommend Lia and Jonathan to anyone looking for a loving, attentive place for their dog to stay.”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
About: I am a Michigan transplant and an animal person with years of experience, including as petsitter, aquarist, veterinarian technician, field scientist, and farmer. I’ve worked with all creatures great and small, and am uniquely qualified to take care of your fish tank, farm animals, and exotic pets. I am also an avid organic gardener and I love to grow my own food. I own a quaint cottage home with a fully fenced yard. All animals are allowed on the furniture so that they can indulge in the comfort they deserve. I love taking quirky puppy pics in beautiful places while on hikes and adventures. Playing is a great way to establish trust and blow off steam, and I try to capture that on camera as much as possible. I am an outdoor enthusiasts, and when I lived out West I regularly offered "adventure" packages for dogs who benefitted from extended hikes. My own dog Velma is famous on the lake for being my paddleboard companion! I would love the opportunity to work with elderly or disabled animals, and am competent administering medications. It would be my pleasure to get to know your dog, cat, chicken, shrimp, goat, bird, hamster, and any other critters in your family! Feel free to contact me for references and resume. Animal - and seasonally, garden - services are my fulltime occupation, so the care of your furry family member is my top priority. Because I work for myself, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate my clients' needs. When staying at a client's home, my practice is to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. I value my clients' trust as one of my greatest assets, and can ensure that your home and property will be respected at all times.
“Emil was a great host for Hugo. He quickly made Hugo feel at home, and his house and yard are great locations for visiting pups. His dog Barkley was very chill and welcomed Hugo as well.. Emil was very good at communication and flexible when my timing changed a bit. We will definitely keep Emil and Barkley on our list for future stays.”
“Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”

“Molly was an incredible cat-sitter for a whole week. She took our cat to the backyard on a harness for walks at our request, played with him, brushed him, fed him, and gave us great photos of all of this to boot—even some action shots. We came home and he was totally at ease, clearly having just made a new friend. She took up our offer to do a meet and greet and was very communicative and thorough in all aspects. She even noticed when the litter robot was getting low on litter and offered to replenish it, even though she hadn’t deal with one before. We will definitely be requesting her for future trips if she’s available! Thank you, Molly!”
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, so I understand how unique each one is — from curious explorers to quiet companions. My calm and patient nature helps even shy or nervous cats feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m experienced in giving cats medication — whether pills, liquids, or special diets — and I’m gentle and confident in making the process as stress-free as possible. I also pay close attention to routines, from feeding and enrichment to keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. Most importantly, I treat every cat as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and an understanding that every feline has their own personality and pace.
“Erin did amazing with my 3 cats! She made sure they were fed, loved, and looked after while we were gone. She even picked up our mail and packages that arrived! I loved seeing all the pictures she sent, as well. Would definitely recommend her😊”
“Claire is very responsible and took very good care of my cat! I would recommend her to others and use her help in the future! Definitely an ease in my mind with her help while I’m away.”
“Nicole is the pet sitter we have been searching for. She genuinely cares for our two cats and always gives them 100% attention during the drop-in visits. Our furbabies are very well taken care of and happy. They have fun with her and trust her as well. Nicole also takes such cute pictures and many of them, making the time away from our cats easier.”

From feeding and litter box care to playtime, companionship, and maintaining your cat’s familiar routine, I am committed to helping every cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Sam was great! Came to check on the kitties and made sure they were okay for a couple days while we were gone. Sadly they are shy so they werent out much, but I felt comfort knowing they were okay.”
“Corinne is a conscientious person who really loves animals. She showed up on time for every drop-in visit and treated our dog as her own. She left us detailed report cards with photos which put us at ease while away from home. Could not ask for more!”
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”

About: I've lived with 3-4 cats all of my life and have house sat numerous friends/family cats over the years.

What you can expect of me: Calm, predictable care style: I’m steady, gentle, and consistent — the exact environment most cats thrive in. Deep understanding of cat behavior: I read body language well and adjust my approach so shy or anxious cats feel safe.

“Great experience. Laura was waiting for Bryce and greeted him immediately. She sent pictures within an hour and I could tell he was behaving as always. Very comforting. And topper I sent a message when we would be there for pickup and she had him watching at the front door. Nice transition. I’m hopeful to use her frequently while I’m in town.”
“As always, my dogs loved their stay with AnnMarie! They returned home happy & sleepy after a full day of fun. Thank you, AnnMarie, for loving my dogs like your own :)”
“Ted did a great job watching Cooper today! It looked like Cooper was enjoying his new friend with Ted's dog Maizy too from the pictures that Ted shared with us while we were gone for the day. Cooper was very relaxed and appeared to have a great day. Thank you so much!”

About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs.

Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.
About: I’m just getting started on Rover! I have lots of experience with my own two cats. And I’ve helped with dogs while babysitting kids! I have 7 years of experience in behavioral work with children and lots of those skills can be applied to cats and dogs. It’s official! I’m moving back home to MI! I’ll be available through July 20th with open availability. After that please inquire as I’m not 100% sure when I’ll be in the moving process. Farewell Wisconsin! I have two indoor only cats. They’re both ginger girls so they’re both very social and loving with their dad and I. They love it when we’re home with them to cuddle, get kisses and treats!
“Misty was great! She cared for my two dogs for an evening at her house which has a fenced yard so they could be outside much of the time, which they love. She was very loving and caring, and took great care of them. Highly recommended!”
About: I am 33, and I have had a wide range of pets my entire life including dogs, horses, and rodents! I currently chicken-sit, dog visit, bird watch, and occasionally have cats grace me with their presence. My dog is 2.5 years old and generally goes with me to tend to the animals, but I can leave her at home if that is a deal breaker! I live my life so Lady can have a very full one. We go on walks, hikes, or runs every day in any type of weather (Thanks to Michigan). My schedule is all over the place but it allows for me to be flexible. Let me know if I can help! I currently work 30-35 hours a week during the summer and I have winter months off. My summer work generally starts around 3:00 and goes until 10 so I have my mornings and early afternoons free. I treat everyone's house like my own! Trust and respect make up the foundation of my life and line of work. These pets are my family and will be treated as such -if you like your family ;)
“We were hesitant to use Rover and leave our dog in a stranger’s hands, but Angela allayed our fears with her calm demeanor, amazing communication and caring personality. She is extremely responsive and reliable and when we come home, we know that our dog has been well taken care of. We are highly satisfied with dog care that Angela has been giving us and would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Anna! She’s taken care of our dog multiple times now, and each time she’s been incredibly reliable, communicative, and an absolute joy to work with. Our dog clearly loves her, and we always feel confident knowing he’s in good hands. Most recently, she reached out ahead of time to check in about the weather—specifically the rain and poor air quality—and offered to do a quick bathroom break with indoor playtime instead of a full walk. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and flexibility, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of lots of pets growing up. My parents dog is in her senior years so getting a lot of practice with that as well. I love animals but my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I miss having one around. I work a hybrid position so my schedule can be more flexible on some days! I am also open most nights after the work day and on weekends! I live in an apartment so my home is not the best for a pet at the moment, but I am very respectful in someone else’s space and prefer a clean environment so I will always pick up after myself & your pet.
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!

My past experience was boarding with a Labrador, so big dogs are great for me. I also have done a couple drop ins for a chihuahua and loved him. I am great with all sizes of dogs (and cats).

I am going into a veterinary career and would love to be more hands on with all different types of animals. The more the merrier! I would love to watch or walk multiple animals at once! I have an open schedule to care for your furry friends. I would love to take your dogs on an early morning or afternoon walk. I am available in the evenings as well for dinner time or after dinner walks! I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel right at home! I offer a friendly and safe environment where they can relax, play, and get lots of love and attention while you’re away
About: I have been taking care of dogs all my life. I grew up with two and currently have a Husky and Terrier. On the days I am in the office (Typically M-W) I will only be available for drop ins/walks after 2:30 pm and early mornings. I do ask that if you need me M-W that times are flexible, I cannot always do hard set times. When I am WFH, I am available all day. Friends and family over the years have relied on me to watch over their fur babies, stop in and check on them for a simple belly scratch and potty break, all the way to staying the night to give them piece of mind while they're gone. I currently work full time. M-W I am able to stop into clients homes after I get off work, after 3. Thursday and Friday I work from home so besides meetings, I am able to drop in at any time of the day. Saturdays and Sundays I am pretty flexible as well :) Each client is different but I will learn what is best for their pet when I meet them. I won't crate their pet unless asked. Going outside with pets when they're out doing their business, and keeping them on a leash to keep them safe is my standard for caring for anyones pet. The parents know best and I'd follow their rules.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family members and close friends. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about animals, and I strive to create an stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work only two days a week, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most days and can work around your schedule to ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!

“Laura took great care of our special needs dachshund, Winston. He looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself, spreading time outside with her in the many pictures and updates she sent. Laura responded quickly to all of our messages and was easy to make arrangements with. She clearly loves animals a lot and gave Winston plenty of attention. We will definitely book again with her soon.”
“Dan and Claire did a great job watching Cooper. I could tell from all the pictures they shared while we were on vacation that Cooper was content, busy, and having a great time. I could see him enjoying the company of all the dogs there as well. Thank you so much!”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Amanda was great at taking care of Hope. Communication was awesome, keeping me updated with photos and videos and she always responded super quick. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“First time we used Rover.com and first time we were away from our dog. I think he had some anxiety but Lyndsey and Justin were great with the whole process.”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”
“Tetyana was fantastic! My pup didn't want to come home after her stay and playtime with Rocky! Tetyana was responsive, sent photos and kept me informed as to how my girl was doing. She administered medications timely and gave me great comfort during my pup's stay. I will definitely ask for her services again!”
“We loved April and her family! She gave regular updates on our dogs with pictures, which we really enjoyed. In the pictures, our dogs looked like they were receiving lots of love and they got along great with April’s dogs! We will definitely go back and recommend her to anyone who needs a temporary family while they are on vacation!”
“Thea took excellent care of our dog, Joey, while we were away. That makes for an even better vacation knowing that your pet is safe and in such wonderful care. We're looking forward to working with Thea again soon. Thank you!”
“Coryn was great! She went out of her way to meet with Milagro, and even do a group walk beforehand, to get her comfortable with the transition. She was very accommodating on drop off/pick up as well. Milagro enjoyed her stay very much (especially the trip to the park). Thanks Coryn.”
“Anne went above and beyond for my GiGi! It was so nice to have peace of mind while on vacation. She kept my fur baby three nights and followed all instructions on her care. This was GiGi's first time staying with anyone away from her home and Anne was certainly the best choice. Her sweet Ethel was the perfect companion to GiGi, who doesn't like a lot of activity. We are very pleased with our Rover experience and absolutely recommend Anne to care for your pet!”
“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lia and Jonathan when Orla stayed overnight at their home. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They did an amazing job keeping us updated on how Orla was adjusting, sending photos and videos that really reassured us she was happy and settling in well. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they host and treat them like part of the family. One thing that especially touched us was how gentle and sweet Orla was with their 18-month-old son. It was so heartwarming to see their son completely fall in love with her, and it showed how calm and well-handled the environment in their home is. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave Orla and would absolutely trust them with her again. Highly recommend Lia and Jonathan to anyone looking for a loving, attentive place for their dog to stay.”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“Emil was a great host for Hugo. He quickly made Hugo feel at home, and his house and yard are great locations for visiting pups. His dog Barkley was very chill and welcomed Hugo as well.. Emil was very good at communication and flexible when my timing changed a bit. We will definitely keep Emil and Barkley on our list for future stays.”
“Rachel and her family did an amazing job watching Drake while I was out of town! He had a blast, they took the best care of him, she communicated great and sent plenty of pictures while I was away. Highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go out of town!”
“Great dog sitter! Sarah took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated, and made sure my pet was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
