“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!”
“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.”
“Reyna's first stay with Katy went super well! Katy was quick to respond to messages before booking and sent updates and pictures every day during Reyna's stay, which was much appreciated. It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“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!”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
“Dana was amazing! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Joey. Her communication was above and beyond, house was super clean, and she was easy to talk to. Joey loved her son and became his bestie for his stay. I will definitely reach out again!”
“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“Becky is great! My dog comes home happy, healthy and tired out from playing. We love getting all the pics and updates from our pups vacation ☺️ I would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”
“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”
“Sarah was wonderful from start to finish! She watched my GSD overnight on NYE and was wonderful with communication leading up to and then while he was with her. I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol”
“We were very happy with Nayoma. She provided pics and updates every day and showed that our pup was having fun. That’s so important to get updates when you travel. We will definitely use her again.”
“I can’t recommend Kathy enough! She hosted my dog (Maple) for two nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kathy is very experienced, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs! Her home is so welcoming and my Maple had a wonderful time going for nature walks and sunbathing in the yard. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup in the Portage area, I highly recommend contacting Kathy.”
“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“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.”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”

“Kathleen did a great job watching our two cats for the week. The cats were relaxed when we got back and Kathleen was communicative. We will definitely hire her again as a cat sitter.”
“Dominique was wonderful! She truly is a treasure. She gave loving and conscientious care to my cats; and, especially to my special needs girl. I am lucky to have found her!”
“I am grateful that Theresa has done an excellent job watching our pets several times. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and responsive to the needs of our four cats (and our needs, too). Appreciate her frequent updates, photos, and humorous observations.”
“Grace did a great job with the drop-in visits for Gypsy. I made things super easy to the point where Grace didn’t have to do anything really but she still went above and beyond. She made sure to interact with Gypsy and took tons of pictures and even cleaned the water dishes. I would absolutely book with Grace again.”
About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets, small pets, aggressive/anxious pets, timid pets.

Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.
“Avery was punctual & very communicative, and gave me much peace of mind while being away from my kitty! She sent tons of photos and even fed my fish upon request. Thank you Avery!”
“Andy was great with our boys! He was able to give one of our cats meds and gave us meaningful/funny updates that captured our boys’ personalities to a T. It was wonderful to be able to see pictures of them and made the separation a little easier. Definitely will rebook Andy again in the future!”
About: I have had a family dog since I have been 5 years old. We have had two dogs starting at a puppy age. I have walked dogs starting at a puppy age to senior age. I am able to give the dog a short up to a longer walk. My current living situation has a cat in the house. I provide care for the kitten when its owner is gone for the week. I am able to clean the litter box, give water/food and play with the cat. I just finished up my first year of teaching ending early June. I am now available after 12 pm on the weekdays and most weekends (any time range). My job is to take care of your furry friends and your home. I plan to be explicit when I am able to give your pet care and I will make sure your house is secure before leaving the house. I am there to be providing a service to your animal and making sure it gets the care it deserves and needed.
“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”
“Abigail has done a few drop in visits for me now and has seemed to do great with my 2 pups. I love getting a picture of them in the middle of my work day 🥰”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am currently a student at Michigan State, but my schedule is very flexible, and I can care for your pet whenever you need me to. :) I am very flexible when it comes to services. I am willing to walk, feed, let your pet out to go to the bathroom, etc.
“Miss Anna is hands down the best sitter I've ever interacted with on Rover. She checked in on my two cats while I was out of town, and she always kept me posted. She even did little extra things for me like putting my camera robot on the charger for me 😂 After she brought up a concern regarding the other person (a family member) that was dropping in, she even agreed to do an extra check in for me. I've found my go-to!”
“William did a great job looking after our cats, especially with such a last minute booking. He was responsive to us and our needs and willing and able to engage both cats. Both cats seemed to respond well to him and seemed able to administer their meds with no problems. We will be sure to book William again, if he's available, but have no need yet.”
“Adam is a real furbaby lover...his attention to detail and wanting to care for your pet as if it's his own ...Thankfully I found you! ♥️ so much...for the last minute plans i had to make because of a family emergency..You saved the day...”
“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Cassie went above and beyond to make me feel guilt and anxiety-free during my vacation by giving the best care to my furry little boy. She sent tons of pictures, gave me detailed updates of how my kitty was doing during each check in, and gave him lots of love/pets. Cassie did a wonderful job and I'd recommend to anyone!”
“Emily did multiple drop in visits while we were out of town to feed our cat. She followed all of the instructions I left for her and always communicated with me, and sent photos when our cat allowed it!”

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina
“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!!”
“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 have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.
“Gunner absolutely loves going to Heidi’s house!! He gets to play with the kids and enjoy her closed in fence. Every time I pick up Gunner he is happy but worn out from a fun filled day! We will always keep Heidi in mind when Gunner needs a day of exciting activity while his mom is at work!”
“Excellent day care service. Very good people, nice clean home and yard. Animals are very well cared for. Service providers went above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and what a lovely family to leave our puppy with! We felt completely at ease and knew our puppy would have a fabulous day and she did! Brea sent us photo updates and our puppy seemed almost sad to leave...We will definitely use Brea again when needed.”
“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”

About: We love, love, love dogs! We have a home with a fenced yard and work from home so your pup will have lots of company for most of their stay. We also have two home dogs who are both very friendly and love having playmates. One is an elderly medium sized dog and has a hard time getting around and the other is a youngster who is only 8lbs. Therefore we prefer dogs on the smaller side (<40lbs) with no aggression issues with other dogs. Guest dogs are treated like family and are welcome throughout our home. Your dog will be well loved and cared for and treated like part of the pack. We look forward to hosting your pup. We work from home and will have plenty of time to interact with your pup.

“This was our first time using a service to find someone to care for our dog. Jaisree allowed me to meet with her before our drop off date to make sure our dog would be a good fit for her. I really appreciated Jaisree’s warmth and desire to understand how to best care for Blue. She did a great job and I will book with her again.”
“Great service very commutative also informative dependable excellent service. My pet is very happy. She’s very good with animals. Great service. You won’t be mad her prices is way far lower than any other me and my pet is grateful”

About: Don't worry! That was doggie ice-cream with owner approval in the picture! I have raised all sorts of pets since I was a child. Tiny to huge. I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and have cared for all sorts from the elderly and infirm to the puppies in training. Recently I watched 3 dogs for an entire week and it was so much fun to have their lively spirits in my home. I understand deeply the care dogs and cats need and have done it first hand with my own elderly pets. I have a large SUV and have been known to load up the dogs and walk the woods on the coast. My yard is very large and only missing fencing by the garage which my truck blocks. We currently have no pets but I find that pet sitting brings so much love, laughter and joy into our lives! I am currently working for myself from home. I am a consultant and all my work is virtual so I am available all day. And if for some reason I am not my daughter is. We have always have had multiple pets as a family since I was a child. If we are lucky enough to share our house with your dog/cat we will love on them like our own. My daughter and I work together to make sure they are walked regularly, cuddled often, have a lap to sit on when needed and played with when they give us the "stink eye." We are well versed in special needs care for your pets as well. Last summer we had a dog stay with us for a week that had just had surgery. Clients have also been know to drive all the way from Chicago to drop their dogs off with us for extended stay on their way to vacation.

“Arantza has been absolutely fantastic. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her hands. Highly recommend her services.”
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born and animals have always been a huge part of my life! I am very passionate about making sure all furry friends live a fun and safe life! I love meeting new animals and learning all their different personalities. This summer, I am available most days to hang out with your furry friends!

I am always having one eye on them at all times. Whether we are on a walk, in the backyard or just in the house. I prioritize the safety of your best friend!
“She was amazing! Was able to take us on short notice, loved and played with our dog like we would. She is very communicative, and even gave our cat some love (which was not part of our request). Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Andrew was fantastic! He was willing to meet before the day of the walk to get care instructions and ask questions. He was prompt for the walk and excellent with communication. He sent a report of their time together with photos. I was very happy with his service and would use him again!”
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”
“Lexi was fantastic. I had a last minute trip and she was so easy to book with. She was very attentive and had my puppers taken out on time, every day. Thank you Lexi! I will definitely be rebooking with you in the future.”
“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I live with 2 cats now whom I care for deeply. I love caring for others, so dog sitting is a good way to show my affection! I am working part time at another job, so I have plenty of time to care for a little friend until the school year starts. I care for pets by following the routine of the owner. Making sure the animal feels safe and within its routine when it’s owner is not home.
“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”
About: Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I’m a lifelong animal lover based in the Kalamazoo area. I work full-time in hospitality sales, but caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been dog and cat sitting on and off for about 15 years and love getting the chance to spend time with furry friends of all kinds! I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a rescue Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix named Leo, who has taught me so much about patience, behavior, and individualized care. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy terriers and anxious or shy pets. I’ve also cared for cats, guinea pigs, and other small pets over the years. I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home because I believe familiar surroundings help them feel more comfortable and less stressed while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the entire time you’re gone. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you can always expect regular updates and photos throughout the stay! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work at a job in Kalamazoo from 9-5, Monday-Friday and we have a hybrid work schedule. I need to be in the office 1 full day and another half day for the most part. Depending on my week and schedule I can work where I need to and can adjust based on what you need. Some weeks are busier than others, and typically if I know I can't be available or will be busy for 8 hours or more, I will make myself unavailable. Currently I live in a rental house with a small yard that is not fenced in. I am able to let my dog out in the yard and we also take daily walks. I have a smaller house and prefer to watch dogs in your home if possible. I find that they are much more comfortable in their own home and I can do my best to follow their routine just like you would if you were home.
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

“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!”
“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.”
“Reyna's first stay with Katy went super well! Katy was quick to respond to messages before booking and sent updates and pictures every day during Reyna's stay, which was much appreciated. It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
“Dana was amazing! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Joey. Her communication was above and beyond, house was super clean, and she was easy to talk to. Joey loved her son and became his bestie for his stay. I will definitely reach out again!”
“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“Becky is great! My dog comes home happy, healthy and tired out from playing. We love getting all the pics and updates from our pups vacation ☺️ I would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”
“Sarah was wonderful from start to finish! She watched my GSD overnight on NYE and was wonderful with communication leading up to and then while he was with her. I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol”
“We were very happy with Nayoma. She provided pics and updates every day and showed that our pup was having fun. That’s so important to get updates when you travel. We will definitely use her again.”
“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I used to have a small farm. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I work part time from home. I can bring your dog out at any time, for walks and I’m available for boarding anytime. Also kids to play with them. I have 3 friendly dogs, cats and kids so your furry babies will have company so they don’t get lonely. They will be loved and well cared for.
“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!”
