“Kasey could not have been a better sitter! She made me feel so at ease, taking over for me in a sticky situation! She was able to watch the pup last minute, making the transition seamless with plenty of videos to make me smile!!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”
“Victoria and Rishi were great with our puppy! We needed to extend his stay with them by a night last-minute and they were very receptive. We could tell that he was well taken care of at their house and he had a great time playing with the other dogs.”
“Jason and Kristen are so great with our dog Sydney! This weekend was Sydney’s third visit in the last two months. She gets SO excited when we drop her off; which in my mind is such a great indication of how much she loves spending time with them!! They send pictures and respond very quickly whenever I send a message to “check on Sydney”! We couldn’t be happier we found Sydney a home away from home when she’s unable to go with us. Thank you Jason and Kristen for taking such great care of our girl Sydney!!”
“Molly is great! She has watched Scout twice, and she is prepared for his high energy personality. I love that she has a fenced in backyard he can explore, and her dog Spade is a sweetie who gets along with everyone.”
“Highly recommend Damoan!!! Even though this was our first time using her it definitely won’t our last. Our pup had a great time, I’m pretty sure she was smiling in every pic I received!! Tons of pics and videos sent and Harley was happy at pickup. For a dog mom that loves her pets there’s nothing better then knowing that someone else is loving on them too!”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia did a great job. Our dog seemed to settle in with her just fine. Good daily updates. We appreciated that we felt we could trust her with our family pet while on vacation. We would love to use her services again. Thanks Olivia for taking care of our girl.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
About: I have helped take care of dogs for 10+ years. Dogs are a big part of my life and I absolutely love taking care of them! The star of the show in the picture gallery is my parent’s golden retriever, Sky, who has such a special place in my heart. She doesn’t live with my husband and I, but we have helped take care of her while my parents are on vacation. My husband and I both love dogs- your pup will be in good hands :) I am a full time nurse working 10 hour shifts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I am available for walks and drop ins on Wednesdays at any point after 10:00 AM since this is my day off during the week. I am available for boarding, walks, & drop ins on weekends; Friday (I get home from work around 6:00 PM) through Sunday. We live in a Lansing Suburb in a 3 story home (unfinished basement) so there is ample space for your pup to move around! We are on a third of an acre, so we do have a decent sized backyard to play fetch/run around. However, it is not fenced in. I tend to be home most of the weekend, so your pup would get lots of love and attention if boarding here ❤️
“Our energetic girl had a great 3-night stay with Cari. She was well cared for and enjoyed herself tremendously! Cari sent updates/pictures several times a day, which was reassuring, especially since it was our first time using Rover. We recommend Cari highly!”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Alice B. Is the best dog sitter. Alice’s care translates to the pet owner that Alice cares for your pet as if she is the owner. Alice sent pictures of my 4legged baby every day and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my visit with family because Alice B. Gave me so much comfort.”
“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”

“Megan was awesome to work with! She’s communicative, accommodating, and very good with my cats. We booked her super last minute and she was able to do everything we needed. Definitely would recommend!”
“Our usual sitter was unavailable, so I had to find someone last-minute. Luckily, Megan was able to step in and help us out. In person, Megan was relaxed, easy to talk to, and genuinely seemed like a nice person. While we were away, she followed our instructions to the letter and actually took the time to make friends with our cats. The extra effort Megan put forth made our vacation more enjoyable.”
“Karen is the best pet sitter ever! We have three kitties with big personalities and special care-instructions: Karen went above and beyond to make them feel not only cared-for but loved. At each drop-in she provided photos and a detailed write-up of how the visit went, which was a delightful relief for an anxious pet-parent like myself. I was truly able to relax while traveling because I knew she was giving them great attention and plenty of playtime. I can't recommend Karen's services enough!”
“Kate did great watching my new and old babies while I was away for a week. Made sure the kittens got some good time out and about and made sure my senior cat got some lovings when she decided to show herself.”
“I could not recommend Tracy enough. She was great checking in on our cat, making sure she was ok and giving her extra attention. Tracy communicates well and sends wonderful pics of our kitty. Highly recommend her services!!”
“Thalia was an amazing sitter for our cat Matches. She sent lots of pictures and we could tell he was super relaxed with her. She also was super communicative and left our place tidy. We definitely look forward to booking with her again!”
“Tennille was the best! We were a little reluctant to leave our 2 cats without a live-in sitter for 3 weeks, but Tennille provided excellent care. She was reliable and attentive and very prompt at sending reports and photos. She not only took care of the cats, but she brought in packages, took out the trash, and even helped us with a malfunctioning garage door. We will definitely book Tennille again for our next vacation.”
“Many thanks to Sarah for caring for our two Cats over a 4 day period. One of our babies needs insulin twice each day, and she ensured he received his doses on schedule. She took pictures of both fur babies, which was very kind. I recommend booking Sarah for any future needs you may have. We certainly will.”
About: Hello I’m Tyler and my fiance and I currently have three cats that we love and we’re so glad they allow us to live in their home! I love cats and they seem to love me. I know some cats are a little skittish and like to be left alone but I love it when cats are affectionate as well. I look forward to helping take care of your little one in the near future!
“Kaitlyn is a fantastic kitty sitter! She watched our kitten over Christmas and New Years keeping him healthy and happy! We so looked forward to getting her pictures of him each stay and her notes on what’s what! She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of when need be. I highly recommend Kaitlyn if you need someone you can trust to watch your kitty kitty!”
“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”
“Justin was great with Joey! He is definitely a food-motivated guy so anyone who feeds him and gives him attention and pets is OK in his book. On my end, I was kept up to date with each visit which was so appreciated! I now have some awesome photos of Joey being his silly self from when I was last away! I cannot emphasize more about Justin's great pet-sitting services!”
“Elizabeth was great with Chewy, Harry, and Ollie over the holiday weekend. We’ve used her before and always feel comfortable leaving the cats with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of everyone while we were away. We’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I have over 12 years of professional animal care along with being fear free certified under my belt. Between being an animal behavior specialist, a farm hand, and now a pet care specialist. I work well with reactive dogs and understand their behavior. I am patient and understanding of nervous or scared animals, and am more than happy to take the time they may need to warm up! I have a true passion and love for all animals. I promise to take great care of your furry friend. My weekly schedule is not set but I can be flexible and am willing to work with your schedule! I am always available 6:00-7:00am and 8:00-10:00pm When going on walks, I will always have a treat pouch, slip lead, and spray shield (dog repellent) on my person to ensure the safest walk your dog has ever been on!
“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.”

“Kasey was very accommodating with our difficult dog! She sent videos throughout the day to keep me updated with how my dog was doing! We will definitely book with her 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.”
“Cody did a wonderful job providing day-care for our two dogs! Lots of pictures sent and they both came home and fell right asleep from all the fun they had. Definitely will be reusing and highly recommend!”
“Angel was a great fit for Rosie! She kept her safely occupied and socialized. She was very communicative and asked really thoughtful clarifying questions as she got to know Rosie’s personality. She is definitely a trusted source to watch my pup and recommend her to everyone!”
“Susan was such a wonderful puppy sitter for ginger! I can tell ginger really enjoyed her time 😊 we would recommend Susan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will definitely be back! Much appreciated!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs throughout my entire life. I’ve had the blessing of entirely raising a dog a cat and even a snake, from months of age to adulthood and throughout their elder years on my own. I am currently on summer break from school and work full-time as a Behavior Technician in Okemos, MI ! Other than my day-job I have a complete open availability on nights, afternoons and weekends. Plenty of time to smother your fur-baby with love and affection ! I have an upstairs apartment with two cats and a pet snake. There are no stairs inside my apartment so there is easy access for disabled and senior fur-babies. My bedroom and guest room also reside all on the same floor.
“We took our two dogs to Alice for a day trip - we were headed to Lake Michigan, and wanted to be sure the dogs were well cared-for. Alice was very cordial and her instructions clear. The dogs seem happy and content, and I couldn't believe the report on the dogs I received by email! It was a wonderful thing to see that they were doing well. Nice touch! No doubt a lot of work for Alice, but it is appreciated. We'll definitely book with Alice again. Happy dogs are very important to us.”
“Jessica is great! She is a very attentive and experienced caregiver, and takes tons of pictures/videos so I can see what my dog was up to during the day. I can tell he has a great time with her and her dog. :)”
“Very highly recommend: I dropped my deaf dog off unsure of how she would interact with others, as I typically try to keep her away due to my uncertainty. However, Sarah provided constant updates with pictures and videos of my pup interacting with others, which put my worries to rest. I very much loved having my pet here and I’m sure my pup did too.”
“Makayla was wonderful with my 7 year old lab! She was communicative and sent me pictures of Ollie enjoying his time with her. She even took the time to talk to me about his behavior patterns and needs as identified by me. I will certainly be booking again!”
“Brianna has watched my puppy a few times and naturally, as puppies can be, she was pretty hyper and crazy, but Brianna did such a great job with her and my puppy was so happy when I went to pick her up! She’s very kind and I’ll definitely be using her again?”
About: I've always had a pet in my home. Whether it be a dog, cat, fish, rabbit, turtle, or lizard, they are always treated like family. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most days. An animal can never be "bad" in my eyes, and will never be treated like it is. Your pet will be treated like it's one of my own and part of this family. It will be given endless patience and love. Our family would love to have our own pet right now, but we just got a new home, new jobs and we have three younger boys so we are taking the time to get settled. Using the Rover app is perfect for seeing how our life will be when we do have a pet, and what kind we would like. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to hear from you and meet your pets! Perfectly. Our lifestyle is lax, and focused on family and happiness overall. Everyone here loves animals, and appreciates the opportunity to get to know your pet! Your pets safety is VERY important to us and is always at the forefront of my mind. I treat them as if they're someone's child.
About: I’ve loved all animals my entire life, and have always had atleast one dog of my own. I have been in the petcare business for over ten years now. I started out in grooming a bit over ten years ago, later on l was the boarding supervisor at a dog daycare pool and boarding facility. I later went back to grooming while also doing Rover dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting and boarding at my house. I moved to Nebraska and became the Kennel manager at Town and Country humane society where l helped save and rehome lots of dogs. While at Town and Country l completed and internship with Wildling Dog training and have been training dogs professionally ever since. I have worked with dogs on all ends of the spectrum, from dog/people reactive dogs to overly confident and exited pups. I’m currently enrolled at UNOmaha studying biology and environmental sciences. I am a young, passionate and energetic guy; with a positive attitude and an immense love for animals. I speak spanish and a bit of french so l can absolutely accommodate for a language barrier. In my time working with animals(especially dogs) l have been able yo spend thousands of hours studying dog behaviors and body language. I have had lots of experience administering medications and feeding dogs with special needs. Over all, l have a deep passion for animals and their care. I live by the belief that we must protectand speak for animals as they have no voices of their own. I am available to take care of your babies as needed and l can work around your schedule. I would prefer that you please let me know if you’ll need my services a week in advance, however l am absolutely willing to make room in case of emergency and short notice cases. We have a fenced in yard at home which we allow the dogs to play in ONLY under supervision. I keep a very close eye on all my pups and other critters.
About: Had dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently have 2 senior cats of my own. Home often and open to frequent walks. Dogs must be relaxed around cats if interested on boarding Im a Full time student, at uni mon-thurs from 10-2, otherwise home to take care of and play w/ pets all day most days Safety oriented. Live in an apartment so outside time will always be leashed. Depending on the dog we will play indoors or, if they can be trusted, at a dog park
“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”
“Jackie was accommodating to my schedule and let me drop her off early. She has a bunch of dog supplies at her place in case you forget anything (like I did). My pup came home pooped from all the walks she got and she definitely enjoyed her time at Jackie’s.”
“Duke seemed to enjoy hanging out with Mackenzie and her fiance. Mackenzie was quick to respond to my messages, and was very pleasant to interact with. I'd have her watch Duke again! Thanks.”

“Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire highschool career and I'm keeping it going while I'm in college. I have cared for big, small, older, and special need dogs. I can handle any challenge the pet may bring. I grew up with cats, dogs, fishes, and Axolotls, always at least 4 animals in the house at one time! I'm at school from 8:10am-11:30am On Monday-Thursday with plenty of time for check ins morning, afternoon, and evening. I am often busy on Fridays during the spring and fall but my weekends are completely open! I am familiar with care for all types of dogs and their quirks, I give frequent walks, make sure food and water is available, and play with them. I like to provide as much comfort as I can to pets that miss their owners.
About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized care, patience, and plenty of love. I’m attentive to their needs and always put their comfort first. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, visits, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home, following your instructions and treating every pet with care.
“Justin is extremely reliable and did a great job of taking care of our dog, Lucy, even driving her to the park where she and I walk every day so that she would maintain her normal routine.”
About: I’m a pet parent to both dogs and cats, so I know firsthand what it means to leave your animals with someone and hope they’re truly cared for beyond just fed and checked on. I bring that same warmth and attentiveness to every sit. As a remote consultant and student, I work from wherever I am which means your pets can have company during the day if that’s what’s best for them. I’m a longtime pet owner, which means I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely animal-centered. Your home will be respected, your animals will be loved on, and you’ll actually enjoy your time away knowing someone fun and trustworthy is holding things down. I take feeding schedules, medications, and training rules seriously — because consistency is what keeps your pets feeling safe and settled while you’re gone. The goal is that your travel is disruptive to you as little as possible, and to your pets not at all. I value clear, direct communication and will keep you updated so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’ll bring that same straightforwardness from our first message all the way through drop-off. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. Whether your dog needs a playmate or your cat just wants company on the couch, I’m here for it. Every sit is a little different, and I think that’s how it should be — your pet’s needs shape how I show up, not the other way around. I work remotely as a consultant and student, so my schedule shifts week to week. What stays consistent is this: feeding times, medications, and check-ins happen on schedule regardless of what else I have going on. Those are non-negotiable. For house sitting I’ll be upfront during our meet and greet about what my week looks like so you know exactly what to expect. If I’m in a lighter work week I may be home most of the day. If it’s a heavier one, your pet will still be cared for on schedule with daily updates and photos so you’re always in the loop. I send daily check-ins and photo updates through the app — not because I have to, but because I’d want the same if it were my pet. In your home, my goal is to keep things as close to normal as possible. I follow your lead on space, boundaries, and routines — whether that means crate time, free roam, or somewhere in between. You know your pet best and I’m here to honor that. My activity style matches the pet. Some animals want to play and roughhouse, others want a warm body nearby while they nap. I pay attention to what they’re telling me and respond accordingly — no forcing, no overstimulating, no ignoring. For cats specifically I understand that trust is earned on their timeline, not mine. I’ll be present and available without being intrusive, and I’ll make sure their food, water, litter, and any medications are handled consistently every single day. For dogs I make sure they’re getting outside regularly, staying on their feeding schedule, and getting the kind of engagement that fits their energy level.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising, playing with, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding dog behavior, maintaining safe group environments, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, training levels, abilities, and dietary needs. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy puppies, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. Working in daycare has also taught me how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and provide individualized attention to each dog. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in good hands. I treat every dog like they are my own and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and am an MSU senior and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for visits, walks, and sitting during weekdays after work and have more open availability on weekends. Since I already spend much of my time around animals through my job, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and easily incorporate into my day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have so I can provide consistent and attentive care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and house rules. I pay close attention to animal behavior and make sure pets are always in a safe and calm environment. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
“Last minute situation needed dog walker within the next 24 hours. Kate worked my dog into her schedule, and was prompt on taking her for a walk and giving her loving care. i’m sure Lilly was excited to see you and I was glad you were able to come. Thank you.”
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
“Andrea is amazing! She has been walking my dachshund Penny Monday-Friday for the past few weeks and what a difference it has made. Penny was displaying severe separation anxiety which haD led to destructive behavior. I was at the point of crating her during the day which I didn’t want to do. Andrea came in at the right time with patience and love. I am now returning the crate I bought because the destruction has stopped. I highly recommend her.”
“Beanie loves Emily 😭😭 she is amazing! Very reliable even with the crazy Michigan weather and the evening hours that are scheduled. Walks beanie as much as he can handle (which I love that she listens to what he needs!!), then will pet him for the rest of the time which he LOVES. He’s always very tired out after Emily comes.”
“Tennille did a great job taking our two pups out for a walk. Tennille even came over for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the pups would be comfortable and then took lots of pics the day of.”
About: Hello, my name is Shirley Gonzalez! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’ve been caring for animals professionally since I was 17 when I started working at a doggy day care facility. Although, all throughout my childhood I had pets of all kinds such as parakeets, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, snakes, and fish. After leaving the boarding industry, I decided to become a Vet Tech, to further pursue my passion. I have 4 years of vet tech experience total, some spent working in a high volume-low cost hospital, so I am confident I can handle just about anything, and have seen it all! I’m am capable of caring for all kinds of pets like Guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, to name a few; and of course, dogs and cats of all sizes. I have a soft spot for feisty chihuahuas and seniors! I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats that may be labeled as “difficult”, and will always be willing to do a meet and greet as many times as needed, beforehand to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I can safely administer medications orally, topically, or injections such as insulin. My experience as a vet tech has given me knowledge and tools that I use to ensure your pet stays safe, secure, and stress-free in a potentially stressful situation, as I understand some fur babies may have separation anxiety. I do accept drop-ins during my overnight stays, sometimes having to step out multiple times a day for a couple hours, so if that is something that will not work for your pets, please let me know so I can accommodate accordingly. I’m very big on reading body language, and I feel it goes a long way to making your pets feel at ease while you’re away. Comfort for your fur babies and peace of mind for you are part of the package deal! I’m available for overnight stays, and drop ins for any species. Drop ins always welcome! I can provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, even a bed time visit, and plenty of cuddles and playtime for kitties and pups who need that stimulation. I send you tons of pictures and updates throughout the day so you’ll never have to wonder what your pets are getting up to. If you like your update photos, ask about booking a private photo session, shot using a professional camera! I now provide full-time pet care services! We can work around your existing schedule so not much has to change for them. No routine is too extravagant! Currently, I do not offer boarding. I have a ton of in-home pet sitting experience and feel it’s easier on your pets when they get to stay home.
About: All dogs no matter shape or size are MY KINDA DOGS!! Dog walking, fetching, feeding, and grooming is what I'm great at! Ask MY pup!! I have all the time in the world to care for your doggy children! Caring for your doggy children is my sole focus for me! I can care for your pets at your residence in any way . Just let me know the rules and I will honor them indeed!
“I recently hired Ally to walk my Teddy and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. From our initial consultation, I could tell that Ally was passionate about dogs and genuinely cared about their well-being. Not only did Ally provide excellent care for my dog, but she also went above and beyond by offering additional services such as feeding, watering, and administering medication for my dog while I was away. Her attention to detail and level of care exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Ally to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I am a retiree who would love to take care of your special fur babies. I have been blessed with 5 dogs at different times throughout my life. I cuurently live in apartments that do not allow dogs, unfortunately. I really miss having one of my own. Therefore, I would not only be taking special care of your dogs, but it would be fulfilling for me also. I have done dogsitting for 10 dogs over the last 14 years and enjoyed those times very much. The most recent dogsitting that I have done was with 2 cavaliers for 5 years as needed that I have absolutely loved. I have also volunteered at the Capital Area Humane Society & McKenzies Animal Sanctuary. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your fur babies. There is a special kinship that I have always felt when I am with either my own dogs or others. Thank you for your consideration! I am retired so I'm available to watch your dog most any time. I miss having my own dog & would love to care for yours! I would need to care for your dog at your place as they don't allow dogs in my apartment complex. I have taken care of other dogs in their homes and it has worked out very well.
“Mia was a great fit for myself and my dog, Jeeves. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker! She was punctual, communicated very effectively, and gave my pup lots of love.”

“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”
“Molly is great! She has watched Scout twice, and she is prepared for his high energy personality. I love that she has a fenced in backyard he can explore, and her dog Spade is a sweetie who gets along with everyone.”
“Highly recommend Damoan!!! Even though this was our first time using her it definitely won’t our last. Our pup had a great time, I’m pretty sure she was smiling in every pic I received!! Tons of pics and videos sent and Harley was happy at pickup. For a dog mom that loves her pets there’s nothing better then knowing that someone else is loving on them too!”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia did a great job. Our dog seemed to settle in with her just fine. Good daily updates. We appreciated that we felt we could trust her with our family pet while on vacation. We would love to use her services again. Thanks Olivia for taking care of our girl.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
About: I have helped take care of dogs for 10+ years. Dogs are a big part of my life and I absolutely love taking care of them! The star of the show in the picture gallery is my parent’s golden retriever, Sky, who has such a special place in my heart. She doesn’t live with my husband and I, but we have helped take care of her while my parents are on vacation. My husband and I both love dogs- your pup will be in good hands :) I am a full time nurse working 10 hour shifts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I am available for walks and drop ins on Wednesdays at any point after 10:00 AM since this is my day off during the week. I am available for boarding, walks, & drop ins on weekends; Friday (I get home from work around 6:00 PM) through Sunday. We live in a Lansing Suburb in a 3 story home (unfinished basement) so there is ample space for your pup to move around! We are on a third of an acre, so we do have a decent sized backyard to play fetch/run around. However, it is not fenced in. I tend to be home most of the weekend, so your pup would get lots of love and attention if boarding here ❤️
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Alice B. Is the best dog sitter. Alice’s care translates to the pet owner that Alice cares for your pet as if she is the owner. Alice sent pictures of my 4legged baby every day and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my visit with family because Alice B. Gave me so much comfort.”
About: Had dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently have 2 senior cats of my own. Home often and open to frequent walks. Dogs must be relaxed around cats if interested on boarding Im a Full time student, at uni mon-thurs from 10-2, otherwise home to take care of and play w/ pets all day most days Safety oriented. Live in an apartment so outside time will always be leashed. Depending on the dog we will play indoors or, if they can be trusted, at a dog park
“Julie did an excellent job caring for my dog. This was my first experience boarding my dog through Rover. I will definitely try to book with Julie in the future. She sent text updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much, Julie!”
“Lauren watched our dog over a holiday and made our vacation so much easier and more enjoyable! The updates and photos were so appreciated. I don’t think our sweet Ivy wants to leave her! We have never tried Rover because it was hard to find an affordable and trustworthy person - Lauren is it!!”
“Anthony continues to be our first choice for pet sitting. He does such an amazing job taking care of our dog. This time around our dog was dealing with some medical issues and he took great care of him and communicated with us often. We trust him completely with our dog’s care.”
“Brianna was great! I was able to rest assured that my pup was secure and well taken care of while I was out of town and not stuck in a crate/kennel with 15 other dogs. She was very responsive, professional, and kind. I would definitely recommend her or use her again for boarding in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!”
“My dog Noah had a great time with Chris over the weekend. I appreciated the way Chris communicated about how he was doing, was responsive to my messages, and sent daily pictures of my pup.”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
