“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”
“Jamie watched our two dogs for a few nights for us. This was our first experience using Rover and having anyone outside our family watch them. Jamie was so considerate to that. She came to meet them in advanced, asked detailed questions, wrote notes and while we were gone she sent videos/updates/pictures of how well they were doing often!! Definitely recommend”
“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”
“Sierra was wonderful to work with! She stayed with my 9 month old Labrador, and kept up with his high energy needs. Sierra was very respectful and willing to work on commands while we were away, as well as kept our home picked up! She was very easy to talk to and work with!”
“Morgan responded right away to our house sitting request! She sent pics of our fur babies, which I love! Did walks and playing. House was in order and clean when we arrived home. I would use Morgan again. Thank you Morgan!”
“Katie is a great dog sitter! Our pups took to her immediately when they met her. She kept us posted daily as to their well-being while we were out, and followed instructions to the letter. She asked us questions about their care if she was uncertain, and even about other things she noticed around the house that she could help with. I highly recommend Katie and know we will call on her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life but really started taking care of them when I was about 5. Throughout my childhood I had 6 dogs, all of different breeds and sizes. I frequently dog sit for my boss when he goes home (from out of state) or on vacation. I also have experience with cats, turtles, ferrets, rabbits, and possums. I’m normally able to walk/stop in to visit after works hours during the week (5:30pm). I have a lot of availability on the weekends, when I’d be able to stay overnight or have dogs stay overnight. I do live in an apartment complex with lots of friendly neighbors and their dogs! There are great walking paths throughout my whole complex so there would be no issues going on long walks! I’m all for snuggling on the furniture, as I want your babies to feel as comfortable as possible!
“Gru and I love Paige! She was able to stay and look after my giant puppy right after the holidays. She was so kind, a great communicator, and made sure to send pictures. I knew he was in great hands! Thank you, Paige.”
“We left to go out of the country for a number of days and we didn't worry at all about our girls knowing they were in Abby’s care! She gave me daily pupdates with pictures 😄. I don’t trust everyone with our girls, but I always trust Abby and will continue to use her. Highly recommend!”
“Nick is truly the best! Nick is a great guy and so trustworthy. We left our yellow lab, Bodi with Nick for 5 days and came back to a spotless house and a well taken care of dog. Nick was thoughtful enough to give us daily updates on how things were going along with pictures. He is truly a natural with dogs and can tell how much he loves animals, our Bodi took to him right away. Definitely will be requesting Nick for future dog care and highly recommend him. Nick is a true gem who went above and beyond without being asked.”
“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”
“Chloe was a wonderful and caring sitter for our two dogs who can be very high energy and rambunctious. She was communicative, shared great updates with us and left our home extremely clean and tidy. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned home!”
About: I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I’d give my own. What sets me apart is my intentionality — I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, whether it’s a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet that requires a calm companion. I’ve provided care during holidays, followed detailed medication schedules, and even kept houseplants thriving while clients were away. I’m communicative, clean, and genuinely enjoy creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine — I genuinely enjoy it and plan my days around giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding routines, I stay flexible and dependable. I also build in time for play, snuggles, and cleanup to make sure every visit feels intentional and relaxed. I treat pet care as more than just a task — it’s a rhythm I enjoy and a responsibility I take seriously. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and create a calm, familiar environment for the pets. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding routines to preferred walking routes — and make sure pets feel safe, seen, and relaxed. I lock up securely, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and provide detailed updates so clients always know how things are progressing. My goal is to maintain a peaceful, clean, and trustworthy atmosphere — one that is both for the pets and their owners.
About: Hey fur-baby parents! My name is Anel, and I am a a recent graduate from Michigan State University. During 2020, I worked part time at a doggy daycare and pet boarding facility called Brook-Falls. I worked with pups as small as 2 month old King Charles Spaniels, to 120lb Great Danes (aka: lap dogs). I am very enthusiastic about my love for animals’ wellbeing, and have completed over 16 hours of animal behavior videos and training, in order to learn what it takes to be a great animal caregiver. After leaving Brook-Falls, I started my own side business called Nel’s Bark Park Haul. When I’m at home for breaks in Wisconsin, I carpool dogs in my community to a dog park located near my home. Through my Bark Park Haul, I have grown clientele and expanded to drop-ins, dog walking, puppy training, and house sitting. While I am at school, away from my park group and other furry friends, I’d love to get to know some new furry folks of the Lansing area! I have experience working with all sized dogs and cats. I can’t wait to meet your babies! :) I am very flexible and eager to be where you need me to go for your pets. We can work together to suit your needs. 😊 You lay down the rules of your house, and I’ll make sure your four-legged family members are comfortable and safe! I’ll keep the floors clean, trash lids closed, and a smile on your pet’s face.
“Arden took great care of my little doggies. They were extremely communicative while I was gone, sending cute photos of my content little babies. Having confidence that all is well at home is invaluable during travel--Arden was clearly aware of that and took it very seriously. I look forward to Arden dogsitting again soon!”

Kyanna J.
“She was outstanding and kept us updated with us out of town. Thanks for watching our dogs”
Kaitlin C.
“Kaitlin has lived with our dogs and cats her entire life. All she knows is to love them as members of the family: to play with them, share deep conversations, pour out her heart to sympathetic ears in times of trouble, to make room on the bed for multiple furry visitors, and to grieve when they pass. With that love, though, is a strong sense of responsibility. As an adult, Kaitlin has cared for other's furry friends. She knows that they miss us when we have to be away and that they need someone to care for them and to spend time with them so they are not lonely. As a member of Rover, she will take care of your pets' daily needs as well, keeping to agreed-upon schedules so your furry friends will be happy and healthy when you return.”

Ben was a fantastic sitter. He took great care of Beau and the house. All instructions were followed. On top of that, I received many photos and videos. Beau has lots of play time, walks, and treats. They treated him with care as their own. I look forward to booking again.
