Personalized care for your dog or cat - Watson

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Watson
“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”

“Tasha was amazing with my two dogs! I really enjoyed all the updates and photos and they were so spoiled with snuggles and walks! I will definitely book again in the future.”


“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”


“Natasha was an amazing with our dog! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of her. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell that our dog was happy and safe. We are so grateful to be able to leave our dog with such a kind, friendly and experienced dog sitter.”

“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”


“Our dog was very happy staying with Julie. He was very comfortable and well lived in their lovely home. We received lots of pictures and updates and I would not hesitate to recommend this family for looking after a loved pet.”

“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”

“Amazing! Third time Max stays with Loretta! Once again, looking at photos I feel like Max thinks that Loretta’s place is his place. To the point, I guess he becomes conflicted in between coming back home or staying there longer. 😂😂😂”

“Rachael was great. We are summer RV'ers and needed a rover.com associate to watch our dogs for a week while we took off for a week adventure. Immediate response back from request and we set up meet and greet at her home. Very clean home and set up great for different scenarios. We received updates while gone and they were in great shape when we picked up. Great fenced in yard.”

“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”


“We were so at ease leaving our fur baby with JoAnn and her husband. They were very welcoming and made sure to update us with photos and texts about how our dog was doing. We highly recommend them.”

“Trina is the best! I am a new dog mom with a small rambunctious puppy so I was very nervous to leave her with anyone. I had a friend bail on me last second to watch her so I was absolutely in a pinch and Trina was quick to respond and open to a visit before hand. She made the whole process very relieving and sent update pictures through the night. My night ran later than expected and Trina told me not to worry and to enjoy my night, so sweet! I would recommend her to everyone!”

“Thanks again for watching our dogs! They get so excited to go to your house and always get so much love and attention! Thank you both for being so amazing and loving on our dogs like they were your own.”

“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”

“Our 4 cats love Tasha! She is reliable and very easy to communicate with — she even came to meet the cats beforehand so that we would all feel comfortable. I would absolutely use her again. Tasha is also very courteous, cleaning up stray litter on the floors so that we would come home to a clean house.”

About: I’ve been taking care of our 8 animals since I was 8 when I turned 15 I got my own puppy and potty trained him myself and taught him tricks myself.

I am very flexible and do not mind love stays or difficult animals I make sure all of my pets have food and water throughout the day and outside and I expect to do the same for your animals.

About: provide calm, dependable, and attentive care to help cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I always take the time to let them adjust at their own pace while making sure they feel cared for and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know the level of patience, consistency, and attention that animals need each day. Some cats are playful and social, while others prefer a quieter environment and their own space, and I’m comfortable adapting to both. I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible by following feeding schedules, litter box routines, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I also have experience giving medications to pets through caring for my own animals, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

“Rebekah is incredibly reliable and professional. She followed all of my feeding and medication instructions perfectly and kept the litter area spotless. I really appreciated her communication and punctuality. It’s a huge relief knowing my home and my pets are in such capable hands. I will definitely be booking Rebekah again!"”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Watson
“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”


“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Bob was able to pick up Edison from my hotel 20 minutes away from his house and watched him all day while I was working. What I got in return was a very happy and tired dog! Bob sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Edison was doing, and with a large fenced-in yard my dog was able to roam free with the other dogs. I will definitely use Bob again if I'm staying in the Kalamazoo area and I would recommend you do too!”

About: I have a very warm, pet friendly house hold! We have always been animal lovers and treat our pets like part of the family. We will love and take care of your babies while you are away. <3 I am home all day so your pet will have 24/7 care! I am available during the week and on the weekends. You won't have to worry about your pet being unattended. Your pet will have full range of our home and will be treated like part of our family during the stay. We love our fur babies!
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home for 50 years. I absolutely love pets, and treat them like they are just part of the family! I am retired so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I have always loved pets and would enjoy making sure your fur baby is content and happy. I live on a private road in a rural so traffic is mostly very minimal. However, I do leash walk pets so they are safe.
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.
About: I have owned pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, a snake-who is still with us. I currently have a golden retriever named Oakley. My grand dog, Moose also lives with us. He is a blood hound. Roz the ball python. We recently lost our beloved tuxedo cat at 20 years old. His name was Odie. I have owned high energy dogs-3 huskies, including one that was deaf towards the end of his life. Our pets are family, they are just furry humans! I currently work full time from home and I walk everyday. I would love to include your dog on my walks. I can also be available for check-ins and potty breaks if unable to walk d/t inclement weather. I have a large yard for running off leash or on an e-collar as well as a fenced area. Your pets will never be left unattended or unsupervised. Pets are family and are allowed to roam freely in our home. I can also crate your pet as desired for sleeping or if we have to leave the house briefly.
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”

About: I have had a family pet most of my life! I love dogs and love to train them. I have experience watching my friend's dogs while they are on vacation. I work full-time out of our home. Weekends I am most often home or close to home. Our dogs get plenty of attention and activities. I have a partial fence that allows room to go out. I live in a quiet neighborhood that works well for walking dogs. We have an Aussie Doottle and he loves to play with other dogs. He gets along great with other dogs and children. April 1 - October 31 we stay at a campground. There are no fences there but we have plenty of room to play, walk, and use the dog park.
“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.

“Thank you Amy! Einstein is totally exhausted from his great day with you. He loves playing with other dogs and seemed very happy with your house. Thank you for the pictures and videos we love seeing him happy and allowed us to enjoy our time together.”

About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do work and have a dog of my own. But other then work and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.
About: I have rescued all of my dogs and fostered many for over 15 years. I help families find their next family member and have re-homed all my fosters. My fosters vary from carrying for pregnant dogs, to puppies, to seniors. I have done it all. I am currently able to work from home most of the time so I am available all week. If I do have appointments I have kennels for all the dogs to ensure their safety. I will accommodate whatever their routine is to keep them comfortable. I have 3 dogs to keep others busy. I have a fenced yard and also live on a lake if they like to swim or boat.

About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.
About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I provide dependable, attentive, and loving care so pets can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself with 3 dogs of my own, I understand the level of patience, consistency, and attention that goes into properly caring for pets every day. I know that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Some dogs love staying active with walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing and getting cuddles and companionship. I make it a priority to adjust my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also have experience giving medications to dogs through caring for my own pets, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and already care for 3 dogs of my own each day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, as well as Saturdays and Sundays with open availability. I enjoy being able to give pets the time, patience, and attention they need while their owners are away and do my best to keep their routines as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it a priority to keep their environment calm, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other specific care needs to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is allowing me into their home and trusting me with their pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
About: I've had animals since I was little and am comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of animals. I have two dogs and two barn cats and love spending time with as many animals as I can!

If you're boarding or doing daycare at our house, while we don't have a fenced yard, we have a full acre and have two friendly dogs that love playing with new friends and help keep them in our yard! I can also take dogs out on a leash if needed to keep them safe. We have plenty of space in our house to crate your pet or to give them their own space away from our dogs if they need a little break. I do require a meet and greet with my pups to make sure they are a good fit together! When taking care of pets in your home, I am able to bring one of my dogs to play if they work well together and if you want them to get a little extra energy out.

A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀

“Sue was so great! She took excellent care of our Greyhound JJ and was so quick to fill in for our normal sitter on such short notice (even over the holiday season)! Sue really loves the animals she cares for and it shows! She spent lots of time with JJ when she came over, even hanging out with him inside since it was so cold and snowy outside!”

About: I’ve been living with dogs since I can remember. I watch my friends and families dogs often. I worked at Chow Hound pet supplies and learned a lot about what special needs certain dogs require. I am working part time along with attending college. I am completely free on the weekends and most days during the week. I have a lot of free time overall. I have two dogs at my home. One is currently being crate trained, so I am familiar with training puppies. I watch dogs that require medication, so I can trusted with dogs that require special attention.

“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”

I could tell that our dog was happy and safe. We are so grateful to be able to leave our dog with such a kind, friendly and experienced dog sitter.”

“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”

“Rachael was great. We are summer RV'ers and needed a rover.com associate to watch our dogs for a week while we took off for a week adventure. Immediate response back from request and we set up meet and greet at her home. Very clean home and set up great for different scenarios. We received updates while gone and they were in great shape when we picked up. Great fenced in yard.”

“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”
