“Kelli keeps in frequent contact with us while she has Bo providing updates with photos and sometimes video! This last stay Bo had some diarrhea and she made sure we were aware, asked for feedback and if there was any action we wanted her to take. Kelli is reliable and we trust her fully with our Fur Baby. We have been using her since 2022 I believe and she has never let us down!”
“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job with Marlowe! We had her watch him for the weekend of our wedding and she did a wonderful job providing pictures and videos. We will certainly have her watch him anytime”
“Amanda is a gift for anyone who feels nervous to leave their pup(s). Her home and yard are so welcoming, she is invested and kind, and very professional. She communicates the perfect amount, sends plenty of pictures, and demonstrates genuine love and care. My two goldens loved their time with her, appreciated her yard a ton, and loved being treated as if they were her own (snuggles galore)! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“It’s always a pleasure working with JoAnn and Michael. My dog is very comfortable there and I know she will be safe. I get updates and pictures. It’s wonderful knowing that I have a reliable place for my dog when I take a vacation.”

“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Teddy had a great time with Deb and her puppies. Very nice play area for the dogs. Would recommend her to anyone that is looking for boarding for a day or two or even a week long. She communicates and sends u pics. Thanks again Deb.”
“My dog never wants to come home from Tasha's. He loves staying there and playing with the other dogs. "Charlie" has stayed at Tasha's several times over the past 15 months. Tasha is caring, accommodating, and a good communicator while dogs are in her care.”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“Taya took wonderful care of our dog for a long weekend. We hadn’t left Daryl overnight before, but Taya had everything he needed to feel comfortable, and he was so happy to have two doggie friends to play with in Taya’s huge yard. Taya sent multiple pictures each day and was always quick to respond to any message from me. We are so happy to have found such a great caregiver for our pup!”

About: I’m a pre-veterinary student who has grown up with pets my entire life, giving me both hands-on experience and a strong understanding of animal care. I am a college student, so I have time before, in between, and after classes to care for your pet. I will work my schedule around your pet's needs.

“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”
“Kierra and Breven Always do an awesome job taking care of Chester. Chester is an indoor/outdoor kitty who has his own schedule which unfortunately can bring him home in the middle of the night. The home and mail are also always picked up and retrieved. We really appreciate the peace of mind that is given as we travel.”
“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”
“Shawnia was amazing! Always gave great photo updates and even walked up our snowy driveway to make sure our cats were taken care of when we got TONS of snow while out of town. 5/5 would recommend!”

“Lauren has been such a life saver. We have two very rambunctious (to put it nicely) dogs that have stranger danger tendencies, and they immediately loved Lauren. She is so good working with them and I feel so at ease with her caring for our pets and home. When she has pet sat overnight for us on vacation in the past, she was so great at sending us photos, watching over our home and even made it look nicer than when she came. The best part was her leaving photos for when we got home from vacation. I can’t speak highly enough for her love and care for our pets.”

I work part-time as a party princess, primarily on select weekends, and gigs are infrequent and scheduled ahead of time.

“Having traveled from Florida, I needed a sitter quickly and for several days due to family emergency. Rex took Luna Mae immediately. He was extremely helpful, especially with fluctuating hours. His laid back nature helped me as well. I couldn't believe how excited she got when realizing where we were headed. He did a wonderful job and is really, really appreciated. Thank you Rex. We'll see you in the spring.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, I am currently available Sunday-Saturday from 11am-6pm. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.
About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night
“The best!! my lila had a great time, i would recommend using shawnia a million times. communicated very well and kept me updated throughout the day. My girl had a blast and we will definitely be back.”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
“Taya was the best! I am so happy I found the best sitter for my dog. She was so flexible especially with respect to the pick up and drop off timings which was very important for me. She also sent pictures and videos during the stay regularly. I will definitely approach her for any future boarding of my dog and I will highly recommend her to others too.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do have a dog of my own. But other then babysitting for family and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.
“Vinny had an absolute wonderful day playing! Lainey was such a terrific host, super communicative and sent so many photos and videos. It made the experience that much better! Completely Recommend!”
“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”
“Daryl had a great visit with Natalie and loved playing with her dog. Natalie was accommodating, responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would book again!”
About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day.
About: Hi, I’m Ellen! 🐾 If your dog is family, we’re already on the same page. ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pup. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a proud dog mom to King, a big goofy pit bull mix who keeps me laughing and on my toes. I also had the privilege of caring for my beloved Yoda, who will always be a very special part of my heart. My experience with both of them has taught me just how different every dog can be—and how important patience, consistency, love, and lots of belly rubs are. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, medication reminders, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a big priority for me. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved. Your dog’s routine stays their routine. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their personality and boundaries, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I can’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog… but I can promise I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d want for King. 🐶❤️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🗓️ Schedule I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal schedule and needs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, King, who loves having a buddy around. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pups in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your dog’s boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: Having a few furry friends of my own (two cats and a corgi), I am always looking to make new furry friends and feel more than capable of providing quality care for your pets. I work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday, but can do after 5:00 drop-ins (potentially mid day drop ins when schedule allows) weekends are much more flexible and can be worked around. At my home, our corgi is crate trained and loves to play (lots of energy!). My cats could not be more opposite of each other — one of them is lovey and greets you at the door, while the other is shy and likes to hide. Either works for me!

Whether that is administering medications, feeding three times a day, taking your dog for walks or just giving them the time and attention they deserve.
About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night
About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats around me my entire life and there’s nothing I love more than keeping my furry friends safe and happy 💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows pet care to be a regular part of my daily routine. I work part-time as a party princess, primarily on select weekends, and gigs are infrequent and scheduled ahead of time. Because of this, I’m able to commit fully to feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and quality time, ensuring pets receive dependable and focused care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean and respected. I also will provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.
About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from puppy till very old. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from terriers to 100 lb German shepherds. I am familiar and comfortable with dogs of all temperament, from super hyper and high energy to very timid. I am very flexible in scheduling, great at keeping you up to date and communicating. I also have experience with rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, horses, birds, and fish :) I can work with multiple animals at the same time, and I can provide any sort of medication/ special treatment that they may need to be loved and happy. I'm more than happy to accommodate special circumstances of any kind, so feel free to reach out and see if we'd be a good match!

“Kelli keeps in frequent contact with us while she has Bo providing updates with photos and sometimes video! This last stay Bo had some diarrhea and she made sure we were aware, asked for feedback and if there was any action we wanted her to take. Kelli is reliable and we trust her fully with our Fur Baby. We have been using her since 2022 I believe and she has never let us down!”
“I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)”
“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job with Marlowe! We had her watch him for the weekend of our wedding and she did a wonderful job providing pictures and videos. We will certainly have her watch him anytime”
“Amanda is a gift for anyone who feels nervous to leave their pup(s). Her home and yard are so welcoming, she is invested and kind, and very professional. She communicates the perfect amount, sends plenty of pictures, and demonstrates genuine love and care. My two goldens loved their time with her, appreciated her yard a ton, and loved being treated as if they were her own (snuggles galore)! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Jamie is great! Super easy to communicate with, listened to all concerns we had and wasn't phased by any. She has a lovely calm energy, and Loki felt very at ease with her. They sent pictures and updates and responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend!”
“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“My dog never wants to come home from Tasha's. He loves staying there and playing with the other dogs. "Charlie" has stayed at Tasha's several times over the past 15 months. Tasha is caring, accommodating, and a good communicator while dogs are in her care.”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“Taya took wonderful care of our dog for a long weekend. We hadn’t left Daryl overnight before, but Taya had everything he needed to feel comfortable, and he was so happy to have two doggie friends to play with in Taya’s huge yard. Taya sent multiple pictures each day and was always quick to respond to any message from me. We are so happy to have found such a great caregiver for our pup!”
“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!”
“This is my second time bringing my dog to Natasha. My dog was so excited to see her and ran up to her door and never looked back to say goodbye to me 😂. He gets a lot of interaction and play time with her dogs. I would 100% recommend Natasha to take care of your pet. I have zero worries while away”
“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”
