“10 out of 10. No Notes. Attentive. Responsive. Patient. Understanding. Just a few words to describe Erin and the level of care she (and her family) provided. Each day, I received photos and videos, including some behavior updates (Pearl is a puppy after all). While Pearl was excited to see me, I could tell she missed Erin and her family— whimpering the entire car ride home. :) Without hesitation, I would book Erin again. One of the best Rover sitters I have ever experienced.”
“Always, always, always a great experience with Jeanne. We’ve been utilizing Jeanne’s services for nearly five years and she has always kept me updated with pictures and statuses. Pippa’s excitement continues to be uncontrollable when we pull into Jeanne’s driveway.”
“Mckenzie was absolutely amazing! Ivy loved her pup Harley and when I picked Ivy up she was tired from all the playing she did. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept me informed on how Ivy was doing throughout the day. Mckenzie was very flexible with her time for me and has a nice yard for the pups to play in. I HIGHLY recommend.”
“Kathy had our fur boy for a week while we were out of the country. He became sick and she had to take him to the vet. She took very good care of him and kept us informed! Thanks again!”
“My pup had a wonderful time at Janis’s house. He was was well taken care and she made sure to send me pics and updates. I loved the picture of him playing with her pups Emma and Daisy!”
“We love taking Hunter to Jerri's! We know he is safe and taken care of. Jerri sends us multiple photos while we are away also and updates us on any eating habits she notices. If you are looking for a sitter to care for your pup just like their own then Jerri is the person you need!”

“Stephanie was friendly and my dog was at ease with her right away. She sent a lot of pictures and a video which was awesome. The trailer where she lives is a little rough. I don't think Toivo minded much. There's a lot of property for walks too.”
“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”
“Lucie was always sure to send updates and even sent us photos while our dogs were in her care. She has a fenced in yard so my dogs were able to feel right at home when they needed to go outside. Even better yet, our dogs sleep in our bed and Lucie treated them as her own and let two medium/large dogs join them in bed lol. Thank you for letting my dogs feel right at home! Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was fantastic!! We were super nervous about leaving our 1.5 year old German Shepherd with a stranger but as soon as we arrive our minds were put at ease. Without a doubt she loves animals and even fosters rescues. Raven had a blast and even made a few new kitty cat friends! We will definitely be back. Thank you Brittany for taking such good care of our family member <3”

“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

About: Cats were my first pets. Dogs and cats are now my babies and a big part of my life! I have decades of experience with pets in animal shelter settings and in my own home. I can give insulin shots and other meds as needed. How can I help? I am a retiree who loves her two dogs and her cat, and I can't wait to love on yours! I am a part-time sitter with decades of experience with animals. My goal is to give others peace of mind when they have to be away from their pets short-term. Safety of your babies is my priority. I will make sure I understand their needs well in advance of my visit. Photos of your pets will be texted to you during my visit so you can see how they are doing in your absence.
“Madeline checked in on our cat each day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive and communicated well. She even showed concern for some of our house plants. I appreciate her very much and had peace of mind knowing our cat was in good caring hands!”
“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I haven't had a chance to meet Elise yet, but my wife has. From the first meeting, my wife was very secure with Elise being the one that came in and took care of our two cats. She did a great job. We will be using "Rover" again when we go out of town and hope Elise is available.”
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
About: I had at least two cats in my household at any given time from birth until I was 17 years old, and after that I only had one senior cat left, who sadly passed in 2021. I am well aware that cats are very different from dogs! They require a different type of care, energy, and patience that most dogs don't. Have a grumpy cat that will smack your ankles when you pass them? I had one too! Her name was Cutie. Have a cat that is very shy, and almost never comes out for strangers? That was my Two girl from birth til I lost her. Have a cat that's very loving and a bit of a whirlwind? I've had that kind of crazy energy in my house as well, his name was Charlie and he was as wild as the day is long. Cats still and will always have a special place in my heart, even though I don't have a special furball in my household currently. I would be honored to be trusted with your kitty friend!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the care and attention I put into every detail. I truly love animals and treat each pet as if they were my own. From understanding their unique routines to making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy, I go the extra mile to give them the best care possible. I work for myself online, which gives me a completely flexible schedule. That means I’m always available and can easily adjust my time around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute plans, I have the freedom to be there whenever you need me. You can feel confident trusting me in your home and with your pet. I treat every space and animal with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel secure while you’re away, so I make sure to keep things clean, follow your instructions closely, and give your pet all the love and attention they deserve.
About: I have decades of experience caring for pets. References available. Your pets will thank you for leaving them in my care. Professional, compassionate care guaranteed. I have a flexible schedule and can provide the amount of care your pet needs. I can walk, feed, offer potty breaks and extended care. I can care for your pets in my home or yours.

“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover. She responded quickly to all of our messages and our pug was in good shape when we went to pick her up. I definitely recommend Lucie for pet care. She's great!”
“Stephanie was very kind and helpful in watching my pup while I attended a wedding. As advertised, she has a really great property and her pups are very sweet. Stephanie cares about them a lot and is clearly an animal lover. She was great in sending me some photos of their day and was very pleasant to talk with. Would recommend to others and would certainly return if ever needed in the future!”
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“We've taken our dog Lucy to Jerri a few times now, and she is just wonderful! A true dog lover. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She goes above and beyond what we could hope, and we know our pug is super happy when she is there! You can trust your furry baby with Jerri. She's great!”
“Amber is amazing! She was so accommodating when I was visiting the area and looking for someone to watch my dog VERY last minute. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her for the night as I knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take good care of your pup!”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

“Alana was very professional, observant and attentive to the dogs. They can be a little skittish and nervous with new people but she was very gentle with them and helped them feel at ease. She even noticed and let me know about a health issue for one of my dogs, which I really appreciated.”
About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard!

In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

About: I’ve had dog my whole life. I have watched dogs for friends and family and have experience with lots of different breeds. I’ve cared for elderly and unwell dogs as well as very energetic breeds. No dog is to big or to small. I am currently working full-time, so I am only really available on the weekends (Friday evening - Monday morning) I still enjoy doing this but it is currently more of a side gig. Regardless the quality of my services have not changed. 🙂 I am great at following instructions and only want what’s best for your animals. I am able to handle multiple animals at a time and I’m good at making sure they all get the attention they need. I love spending time playing with and exercising animals and taking of whatever they need.

About: I have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for about 10yrs. I have experience with many breeds(yorkie to pitbull) of all ages(8wk old puppy to 15yr old senior). I walk my own senior dog daily and understand the time and patience they need. I have rescued dogs over the years with different issues and understand each dog is different and has different needs and personalities. I'm fully prepared to try to meet those needs and help them have a great experience with me. Pet Care fits into my free time in the week. I have pretty open availability morning into mid day. I'm available to cover the Midland, Beaverton and Gladwin area Mon, Wed and Fri. I try to be aware of surroundings and other animals to avoid any possible situations that would put your pet in harm or even a stressful situation. I will do my best to make every visit enjoyable and safe for your pet.
About: I have always LOVED all animals but, especially dogs. I am a 4-H kid through & through. I have handled & shown steers, sheep, dogs, rabbits, you name it!

About: I've had a dog in my household since I was 4 years old, and have extensive experience with senior canines, young puppies, and everything inbetween! I have worked with dogs professionally as well, from my time at The Paw Patch in Loganville to present day where I am a pet sitter outside of Rover, you can rest assured your pup is in good hands. I know every trick in the book to encourage that senior dog that doesn't finish all their food, and I am patient with the young ones who are still learning how to be a good citizen. I also have experience with reactive, resource guarding dogs, as I have one of my own. If this fits your dog, let's talk extensively about their behavior so I am well prepared to meet them in person! I look forward to working with you and your pets! My schedule is completely flexible, pet sitting and pet care is my only focus currently and will be for the foreseeable future! Summer and the holiday season are the busiest times of the year for me, so be sure to book in advance to secure your spot! I'm available from 6am to 9pm daily. Due to when my schedule gets filled up quickly, I request a grace period of 30-45 minutes from the scheduled time in case there is an emergency at another household, and I will always communicate if this is the case. I only offer visits and care at clients' homes currently. I have been in other industries where I am trusted to go into other people's homes with the guarantee that everything will be in its place and quality service is delivered - pest control and professional house cleaning. I can either leave the house key in it's designated place, or carry it with me on my own key ring with no worries at all. If you have a garage code I can navigate that as well! If you are away from home for an extended period of time, I will gladly bring in any packages and mail to ensure no one else gets any ideas about the security of your property. Doors will always be locked behind me and lights turned off if requested - that is a habit drilled into me from a young age and I always double and triple check the security of the home before leaving. This is very important to both me and you!

“10 out of 10. No Notes. Attentive. Responsive. Patient. Understanding. Just a few words to describe Erin and the level of care she (and her family) provided. Each day, I received photos and videos, including some behavior updates (Pearl is a puppy after all). While Pearl was excited to see me, I could tell she missed Erin and her family— whimpering the entire car ride home. :) Without hesitation, I would book Erin again. One of the best Rover sitters I have ever experienced.”
“Always, always, always a great experience with Jeanne. We’ve been utilizing Jeanne’s services for nearly five years and she has always kept me updated with pictures and statuses. Pippa’s excitement continues to be uncontrollable when we pull into Jeanne’s driveway.”
“Mckenzie was absolutely amazing! Ivy loved her pup Harley and when I picked Ivy up she was tired from all the playing she did. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept me informed on how Ivy was doing throughout the day. Mckenzie was very flexible with her time for me and has a nice yard for the pups to play in. I HIGHLY recommend.”
“My pup had a wonderful time at Janis’s house. He was was well taken care and she made sure to send me pics and updates. I loved the picture of him playing with her pups Emma and Daisy!”
“We love taking Hunter to Jerri's! We know he is safe and taken care of. Jerri sends us multiple photos while we are away also and updates us on any eating habits she notices. If you are looking for a sitter to care for your pup just like their own then Jerri is the person you need!”

“Stephanie was friendly and my dog was at ease with her right away. She sent a lot of pictures and a video which was awesome. The trailer where she lives is a little rough. I don't think Toivo minded much. There's a lot of property for walks too.”
“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”
“Lucie was always sure to send updates and even sent us photos while our dogs were in her care. She has a fenced in yard so my dogs were able to feel right at home when they needed to go outside. Even better yet, our dogs sleep in our bed and Lucie treated them as her own and let two medium/large dogs join them in bed lol. Thank you for letting my dogs feel right at home! Highly recommend!”

My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!

I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.
