About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom with a dog of my own, your pup will be treated like a member of my family and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable home environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're gone. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives personalized care and attention. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and your dog will never be left alone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family and will receive lots of attention, affection, and supervised outdoor time. My friendly family dog, Ollie, loves making new canine friends and helps visiting pups feel right at home. To ensure a calm and safe environment, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time and encourage meet-and-greets before boarding. You'll also receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Kristin & Rafael were awesome!! Pogi is very shy getting to know people, but when we picked him up, it was clear that he had already bonded with them and their dogs. This was our first experience with Rover.com and Kristin & Rafael and we will be sure to have Pogi stay with them if needed in the future. Thanks! :)”

About: I am a lifelong cat lover with a special place in my heart for shy, quirky, and special‑needs kitties. I share my home with three wonderful cats who have cerebellar hypoplasia, so I’m deeply familiar with caring for felines who move through the world a little differently. I’ve learned how to support cats who are shy, quirky, slow to warm up, or who need extra patience to feel comfortable. Since I work mostly from home, I have the time and calm environment to give your cat the gentle, attentive care they deserve — always at their pace.
“Madelyn provided outstanding care for my 2 year-old pup. She took her on walks, made sure her water & food bowls were cleaned and refilled, and gave her a lot of love and attention in my absence. She is responsible and trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”
“Rita was an amazing cat sitter! She provided regular updates and photos of our fur baby. Our house was in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be booking with Rita again :)”
“Kasper is always the best! They go above and beyond for our kitties in every way: staying extra if they feel they need it, cleaning up barf (ugh). Also, watering my plants, and checking on my tortoise lol. I also always feel my house is safe and locked up while away. I could not recommend Kasper any more highly.”
About: I have loved and adored cats for as long as I can remember. Since I was a baby I have had cats around me- crib included! I come from a family of animals lovers, specifically cat lovers. While my mother cared for strays and our own cats I was right by her side. My mother taught me at a very young age how to love and respect cats. She taught me how to pet them, feed and water them them, interact with them and read their cues when they did not want to be pet or held anymore. When visiting my aunts, uncles and grandma I spent time and helped care for their cats as well. When I was a teenager I helped my Mom TNR cats in our neighborhood. I also volunteered at an animal shelter and worked at an animal hospital. I now care for a cat colony in Howell and TNR cats as well. I have my own cats at home who I love, adore and spoil. I could never imagine life without a cat to come home to!

About: I've had my own dog for the past 9 years, and caring for them has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide a safe, comfortable home for dogs during the workweek. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles while following each owner's routine to help their dog feel happy and relaxed. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and exercise in my fenced yard while following your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup enjoys relaxing, playing, or just being near someone during the day, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, fully vaccinated resident dog. I will introduce dogs slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. If separation of the two dogs is important to you, I can also accommodate that request. I also have three children (ages 16, 10, and 4), who are in school for most of the day. While I'm working from home, visiting dogs stay with me in my home office so they're never without supervision. When my children return home, visiting dogs have the option of remaining with me in my office in a separate area from the rest of the household if they need a quieter space or if separation is the safest choice. I can provide either a crate-free stay or crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I'll always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs, so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home.

I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and comfort so they feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they're with family, not just a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. I build my daily routine around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I'm consistent, dependable, and always make time to stick to each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I care for pets in their home just like you would - keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet's needs and personality so they feel at ease while you're away. I'm respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m Patty, a Christian pet sitter with a heart for serving both pets and people. 😊 ⭐️ My vision: To share God’s love through pet care, helping pets and their owners experience peace, love, and joy! Trusted, Reliable, and Pawsitively Devoted 🏡 With a heart full of faith and a passion for animals, I offer trusted and reliable pet sitting services that ensure your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Let me be your pet's guardian angel, giving you peace of mind and your pets a tail-wagging experience they'll cherish. I work from home full time. I am always up early for morning cuddles before taking your dog outside to do potty either in the fenced in back yard or go on a walk. At playtime, will include physically tiring games like fetch or hide&seek and relaxing activities such as chewing on a bone or Kong toy or just spending time together. Fresh water is always given throughout the day/evening and food as per schedule provided by owner. Love to visit local parks that are dog friendly such as Jeffries Creek, Double Trouble, Berkeley Island Park, and more! My house is entirely dog friendly! Three pet beds downstairs and half the dog toys from Petco are in the living room. I have a decent sized yard fenced in. I have extra leashes, food bowls, beds, treats and toys!! I accept all well behaved breeds, no dog too big or small! ❤️
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents) my entire life, and currently have two pugs named Cookie and Waffles. I have also worked in a doggy daycare. I am comfortable providing all kinds of care including walking, grooming, watching, feeding, giving medication, and more. I currently am working per diem as a nurse aid, I just finished school and will hopefully be starting my first nursing job in a couple-few months. For now I have the summer open while I am studying and applying to jobs. That being said, my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to include caring for your pet into it! I currently cannot care for additional pets in my home as I live with others. However, I am open to caring for pets in a clients home. I would like as informative and detailed a description of how clients would like their pets cared for, and plan to follow those instructions completely. I have experience with a variety of pets from dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and birds, ranging from young to old. I have the most experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for a few months, so I am familiar with the personalities and care of different breeds. My dogs (Cookie and Waffles) have both had health issues in the past, so I have experience with giving oral medication. I also have basic grooming experience, mostly bathing, ear/face care, and nails (if pet allows, my girls unfortunately need a whole team to get their nails done).

“This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom with a dog of my own, your pup will be treated like a member of my family and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable home environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're gone. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives personalized care and attention. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and your dog will never be left alone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family and will receive lots of attention, affection, and supervised outdoor time. My friendly family dog, Ollie, loves making new canine friends and helps visiting pups feel right at home. To ensure a calm and safe environment, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time and encourage meet-and-greets before boarding. You'll also receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“We will definitely rebook. The communication was great and the environment was perfect for our dogs. They were very accommodating and our dogs didn't even want to come home. I definitely recommend booking with this family.”
“Great experience! Ashley has a lovely family and they did a wonderful job to take care of my dog! communication was good as well, I was receiving a daily update from Ashley and all my questions were answered almost immediately.”
“Deb is a fabulous sitter for my two senior dogs! She paid attention to their cues and ways. She let us know how they did each day. She gave us a full report when we returned, too. They were happy to see us when we picked them up. Thank you for taking such good care of our family members, Deb!”
“Laurie, her three kids and two dogs were very good with our dog. She send nearly daily photos and was very flexible with her approach. 5+ stars. We will absolutely use her and family again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Lorraine to care for my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Throughout the stay, Lorraine kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which provided great peace of mind. It was evident that Brutus and Bella were not only well-cared for but were also enjoying themselves. Lorraine went above and beyond by sticking to Brutus and Bella’s routine, ensuring they received their favorite treats, and even taking them on longer walks than I had expected. The level of care and attention to detail was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Lorraine again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Brutus and Bella.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Vickie and Heath provided for our 4-month-old puppy, Marsh. Knowing we had to leave our fur baby for 3 days was a bit nerve-wracking, but Vickie and Heath quickly put our minds at ease. They truly treated her like family, and she had an absolute blast during her 'vacation.' Constant playtime and maintaining her usual feeding and sleep schedule were just some of the many ways they went above and beyond. It was clear that they genuinely cared for her well-being. We received regular updates and photos, which kept us connected and reassured :) We're grateful to have found such wonderful dog sitters, and we wholeheartedly recommend Vickie and Heath to anyone looking for loving, attentive, and responsible care for their pets. If our pup could talk, I’d bet we’d hear her say she wanted to stay even longer, haha. Thank you for giving our puppy a fantastic experience!”
“Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!”

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside for walks and spending time with pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a big fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play and do whatever they like. I have plenty of room in my house and your pet will be safe, fed, and happy.
