“Alexandra is very sweet, she takes good care of my dog and meets her needs very well. My little dog is feisty and not easy to work with at times, so I’m very grateful for her!”

“Felisha is an absolute GEM 💎 she took such great care of our baby boy Maverick while my Aunt was watching him for us! I believe Maverick even walked better for Felisha then he does for my husband and I 😂 My Aunt couldn’t say enough great things about Felisha and stated ANYONE in the area that needed some help with their pup 🐶 should use her! Thank you so much Felisha we will definitely use you again!”


“Corrine is great! Seems to really care about the animals, and was focused on making the experience easy, safe and convenient for the whole family. We will be looking to use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have had pets as long as I can remember growing up! Our family has had everything from cats and dogs, to birds and guinea pigs! My mom is licensed in wildlife rehabilitation and I have helped out a lot with her adventures. We have rehabilitated squirrels, rabbits, deer, raccoons, and so much more. I’ve also helped out with driving sick animals to emergency care on behalf of the rescue. I love watching animals for my family and friends, so I thought I should expand and make a little extra money while home from college and spend time with fur babies! I am a recent graduate of Saginaw Valley State University and have a gap between graduation and full-time employment. I currently don’t have any pets of my own but I am very available this summer and would love to spend time helping you take care of your fur babies! In the past, I have been responsible for crating, washing, playing with, and administering medication to pets. I have a German Shepherd at my parents home who is a rescue and I am very good at understanding his boundaries while also providing the care he needs. I also walk him very often and can control him when he may be reactive towards something such as a squirrel!
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. In 2010, I welcomed my own dog into my life and loved him deeply until he passed. I’ve also shared my home with a few sweet cats over the years. Friends and family have trusted me to watch their pets many times, and it’s something I’ve always loved doing. Being around animals brings me so much comfort and joy, and I treat every pet with the same love and gentleness I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. With my kids at school Tuesday through Friday from 9am–3pm, I have dedicated time to focus completely on your pets. These hours give me plenty of space to provide calm, attentive care, keep them company, and follow their routine without rushing. Your pet’s routine is my top priority. I’ll manage feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any medications exactly as directed. I’m attentive, dependable, and experienced with different personalities- from energetic dogs to shy cats. I keep your home safe and orderly, and I always provide updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
“Laura, you were amazing even in lieu of the issue of getting into the house, totally my fault! Thank you for the pictures and the attention given to the puppers! We appreciate you!”

About: I have cared for family and friends pets for 18 years. From puppies and their training needs to 13 year old dogs who just want to snuggle. While not a professional trainer, I have trained many dogs on how to walk nicely on a lead and various tricks to add some fun your pet's life. My own dog is off lead trained and will stay close on walks. I work on a positive reward system of high value treats and praise, providing minor corrections to pets such as a sound or turning away to ignore unwanted behavior forcing them to thinking for my attention. I work for the school district during the year so until school is out I'm available only on Fridays after 5:30pm, all of Saturday and Sundays until 4:30pm. This, of course, will change once school is out for the summer. As a house sitter, I will stay in your home with your pets for the amount of time you'll be gone so they will always have company. Care instructions will be followed to the letter. I have my own boy and I do what I would want others to do for him. As a walker, I will go as far as your particular pet can go. If that's around the block, great! If it's further, even better! As I said I have my own dog so if you'd like your pet to have a walking buddy let me know and we can set up a meet and greet before any official walks! If you're in need of a drop in visit just for potty and playtime, that's fantastic! I'm more than happy to play with your furbaby!
About: Hi! I’m Brooke, a proud cat and dog mom with over 5 years of personal pet care experience, plus more than a year of professional dog sitting. I’ve personally trained and raised two German Shepherds — so I’m no stranger to handling energetic, intelligent, or challenging breeds, and I understand the importance of reading body language, managing behavior, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m known for being reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. As of September 9th, I will be in school Wednesday–Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Pets in my care may have some alone time during those hours, but I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave. Outside of school hours, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnights! • Calm, patient handling, especially with nervous or excitable pets • Experience with basic training and reinforcement • Detailed updates if you want to hear how your fur baby is doing •Respectful, tidy care in your home
About: I am 33, and I have had a wide range of pets my entire life including dogs, horses, and rodents! I currently chicken-sit, dog visit, bird watch, and occasionally have cats grace me with their presence. My dog is 2.5 years old and generally goes with me to tend to the animals, but I can leave her at home if that is a deal breaker! I live my life so Lady can have a very full one. We go on walks, hikes, or runs every day in any type of weather (Thanks to Michigan). My schedule is all over the place but it allows for me to be flexible. Let me know if I can help! I currently work 30-35 hours a week during the summer and I have winter months off. My summer work generally starts around 3:00 and goes until 10 so I have my mornings and early afternoons free. I treat everyone's house like my own! Trust and respect make up the foundation of my life and line of work. These pets are my family and will be treated as such -if you like your family ;)
About: I have been taking care of dogs all my life. I grew up with two and currently have a Husky and Terrier. On the days I am in the office (Typically M-W) I will only be available for drop ins/walks after 2pm. I can do early mornings or after 2pm. When I am WFH, I am available all day. Friends and family over the years have relied on me to watch over their fur babies, stop in and check on them for a simple belly scratch and potty break, all the way to staying the night to give them piece of mind while they're gone. I currently work full time. M-W I am able to stop into clients homes after I get off work, after 3. Thursday and Friday I work from home so besides meetings, I am able to drop in at any time of the day. Saturdays and Sundays I am pretty flexible as well :) Each client is different but I will learn what is best for their pet when I meet them. I won't crate their pet unless asked. Going outside with pets when they're out doing their business, and keeping them on a leash to keep them safe is my standard for caring for anyones pet. The parents know best and I'd follow their rules.
About: I was away from Rover for a while due to having a baby in July 2025, what a blessing, but now I’m back & ready to help! I’ve taken care of doggies for a while now! I mainly watch my families animals & some close friends animals as well! I do everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and snuggling with pets! I also watch turtles! I have one of my own :) ask me about him! I am currently not working due to expecting our first baby July 2025! I am still very active & would love to come spend some of my day with your animal friend! I care for pets in my home by letting them roam wherever they please & make my home their home. And when taking care of them in their own homes I respect their home as if it were my own. I stick to schedules that the animal is on whether that be in my home or theirs!
About: My family always had a dog, and when I moved out on my own, the first thing I did was get my own! I now have a chihuahua/papillon rescue named Jorah Borkmont, who loves to play with others. I make my own hours out of the home, so I will only be out of my home for a few hours per day, and I can return when necessary (we have a dog camera set up). My husband works at home most days, so he will also be here to care for your dog. We live in a townhouse with an unfenced yard, but do have tie-outs and plush grass to relax and potty on. There are safe sidewalks and a new neighborhood in the building process for long walks twice per day.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.
