“Thank you, Rosanna, for making the trip to our place, which was a little farther than you're accustomed to, and for the extra attention to BeeBee, our shy older cat; Roger, our roving vagabond; and the kittens (and mom) out back! We appreciate your detailed daily reports and your TLC. I was particularly worried about leaving BeeBee alone for the week. You eased my mind tremendously, first meeting you, then with your daily notes and pictures. ------- If you want the best for their pets, please contact Rosanna. You will not be disappointed.”

“Kim did an awesome job taking care of our 4 cats and was very understanding of our one cat that is a bit ill right now. Great communication with her when we were gone and loved the pics she sent. I would definitely use her again when we go on a trip again. Thank you Kim.”
About: I’ve had a cat my entire life, growing up I had 2 family cats and they were nothing short of amazing. In college I decided to get a kitten to keep me company and she has been all over with me including moving 5 times, she is a sassy calico and is about to turn 12. Recently I adopted a kitten, a gift to myself for completing my masters. He is a male tabby and probably one of the most sassiest and hyper cats I’ve ever been around, he defiantly keeps me on my toys requiring lots of play to keep him out of trouble!
About: Whether it’s been with a feline of my own or of an employer, I have found so much joy in relationship building. Patience, observation, respect, and an open mind are essential to the human-cat bonding process. I’d love to get to know your unique cat and be a comforting presence in your absence.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. Big, medium, and small. I’ve taken care of it all. It’s great. I’m currently working a full time job, but I work close enough to my home that I come home for lunch. So I like to take my dog out too and play for a little bit. 🥰🥰🥰 I have a semi fenced yard. Spacious for the dog to run and do it’s business. Spacious house for the dog to be comfortable ❤️
“My baby had such a good day with Kyleigh! It was my first time leaving him home alone to go to work and her care for him calmed my nerves. She visited him three times and my puppy had no issues, absolutely loved her! She sent me pictures that made my heart melt! Highly recommend Kyleigh!”
“Hailie has been great taking care of my cat Mr. Grey at home while im away for work. She is very honest and easy to communicate with, very responsive and respectful. Definitely recommend hailie to other pet parents!!!”
About: I have trained my current 1y/o puppy and I adopted my previous dog when he was 8y/o, so I also have experience with senior dogs as he passed at 12y/o. I have been taking care of a variety of pets for the past five years, including cats, lizards, roaches, birds, and ferrets. I am an all-rounder when it comes to loving on any multi-legged friend! I go to school full time but am excellent in time/stress management so I won’t have trouble keeping your fur babies well fed and stimulated! I have class from 8am-2pm once a week but the rest of the week is pretty light. I don’t work a different part time job so school is my only responsibility. I am caring but direct so I won’t have trouble disciplining in a gentle manner. I am generally a very concerned and attentive pet parent.

She has the sweetest dogs and cats & looking at pictures of them all snuggled up in her bed at night made us so happy. She has the coolest backyard for the pets too. We’ll book with no one else.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“Melissa was so gracious to fit our 2 pups in last minute but ver the holiday weekend. We had another Roover sitter cancel day of and scrambled to find someone. So thankful for Melissa! She sent videos, and too great care of them!”
