About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes and personalities. From schnauzers to huskies and everything in between, I am willing to accept any type of dog. We do have 2 children in home that both love animals! We live in a wooded area with an acre and a half of land. Lots of room for animals to explore. Also close to parks to walk too. Taking care of animals is what I love to do, you can feel rest assured your pet will be taken care of. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible for drop in visits and home all day for boarding pets. Never left alone longer than a few hours depending on the pets needs. We have a large yard, is not fenced but private and away from residential road. Have a chocolate lab that loves any and all dogs as well as two cats! I will follow all instructions if caring for your pet in your home, make sure they are fed, loved, played with and feel safe while you are away.


About: I'm a stay-at-home mom of two-legged babies and fur babies . I have a big fenced-in yard where the pups can run and play. We will leave the door open when it's cool out so they can come a go as they want. I have 2 German shepherds myself and grew up with dogs, so theres not much I can't handle. We can play ball or just sit on the couch and snooze the day away. Pup must be OK with kids, the loud noises that the kids make and must up to date on shots/ vaccinations. Crate trained is a plus, but not a must and no aggressive behaviors are allowed. If you have any questions please ask me and I will respond in a timely manner. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 2 kids. I'm trying to get back out into the world force and thought rover would a good way to start with for the flexibility. I have a fenced back yard to run and with a big deck so if sunbathing is your pups thing they will be happy. I also have trees that prove shade if they like to nap under the trees.

About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.

About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.

About: Hello! With over 15 years of dedicated experience in dog sitting and pet care, I am passionate about ensuring that every dog I look after feels safe, happy, and loved. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. I pride myself on creating a nurturing environment tailored to each dog's unique personality, whether they require gentle coaxing during playtime or a calm, quiet space to relax. I’m always happy to take walks or explore local parks for some extra adventure. I prioritize exercise, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of belly rubs! I’m also well-versed in administering medications and managing specific dietary needs, ensuring your pup's health and happiness. (As my own dogs take medications and have dietary restrictions). Your dog will receive personalized attention, and I’m committed to maintaining their routine as closely as possible to ease any separation anxiety. I truly believe that every dog deserves to feel like a member of the family! I am available in the evenings throughout the week and most weekends. I work in Midland so I am also available to check on your dogs during my hour lunch break. I am also available to take your dog for a walk or to a nearby park. We live on almost an acre of land down a very quiet road. We use an electric fencing system for our own. Your dog will never be left alone.

“Lauren was great, it was a last minute need for our dog as we had a previous walker request cancel. Lauren was very reliable, gave a nice report of her visit/ walk, and I felt I didn't need to worry about our pup.”


About: I grew up taking care of my neighbors’ pets which was more like a zoo. They had dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and even a ferret. I have been an animal lover all of my life and have continued to pet sit for friends and family over the years. Additionally, I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have a lot of experience cleaning and providing care for multiple animals at one time. I also have owned cats my whole life and have a lot of experience taking care of dogs as well! I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of free time and am super flexible! During this time, I am able to care for your pet as much as possible :) I am very big on giving animals lots of love and affection! I know oftentimes pets can get anxiety when their owners are away, so I follow a routine the animals can depend on so they know they are getting their needs met by me everyday. I get a sense of what their normal routines are and try not to stray from these as much as possible so there is still consistency in the animals’ lives.

About: Hello! Please note (I do not take payments through the rover app anymore due to past payment issues. I accept Venmo or in person payments). I have been caring for all types of animals and saving them if in need, my whole life! I love and care about all animals personalities and only want to make them happy:) I am very understanding to all animals (even sassy ones haha), I will take time for their needs.

And I will never leave a mess behind, if the pet has a potty accident I am sure to clean it and clean any spilled food or litter!

About: My name is Emily. I've owned dogs and cats and pets of other sorts all of my life. In my adolescent years I was in 4-H. I showed small pets but helped my friends with their livestock. Ive spent time volunteering on horse ranches as well. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat and a lizard who are all very spoiled. I work full time in retail and would like to be able to help local friends with their pets. We are fortunate our dogs don't spend much time alone in the house as my husband and I have opposite schedules. Due to our fortune I'd like to give you the peace of mind knowing your fur baby has potty breaks and attention when they need it, while you're on vacation or at work. Since I work full time, and it's retail my schedule fluctuates alot. I'm often available first thing in the morning and then in the evening. On my off days which also fluctuate my schedule is open. As far as boarding goes. I have a 3200 Sq ft house. Split into an upstairs and a down stairs. I have had to keep my mom's dogs separate from our dogs when she visits and it's never been a probably to rotate the dogs in and out, etc. I am confident in taking great care of your loved one and also taking care of mine. The basement door stays shut with access for the cat via kitty door. I personally have a fenced in large yard. I'm very loving, however am willing to use my dog mom voice to ask pets to sit, or lay down when necessary. I stay aware of the amount of time my dogs are outside and the weather conditions, sympathizing to their paw needs. Our pets get treats, snuggles and praise often. The biggest thing we make sure to do is to be aware of our pets body language. How their ears sit, if they seem agitated, if they do or don't want play time, etc. This allows us to give them what they need and prevent any kind of hostilities towards one another. In the 4 years we've had our current 3 dogs this has proven to be very successful.

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets; cats, dogs, rats, fish, etc. Many family members have relied on me to walk, feed, play with their pets. I am currently without a job so I have all the time to check in or walk your pet after 6am and before 10pm Sunday-Saturday! Drop-in visits should be tailored to meet the individual needs of each pet, providing them with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve in their owner's absence. This includes ensuring the pet has fresh water and/or food, giving needed attention/playtime, and taking the dog out for a potty break.

About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way

About: I have been dog sitting since before I could drive! From continued training to daily walks, big dogs to small, your pup will be in good hands with me. I am currently a full-time medical student on a break from school, which gives me a lot of availability both during the week and on weekends! With all of my dog-sitting experience, I am confidently able to comply with any training, crating, or schedules needed. I currently have no pets myself, so that will not be an issue.

HelIo fellow pet parents, I'm Dominique. I worked at a PetsHotel where I provided care to the pets for almost 3 years (walking, feeding, and medicating). I also am a pet owner of three dogs! I am comfortable providing care to pets with special needs. My dog is deaf so we use sign language with her. I also fostered a dog for a few months. Lastly, I also have the supplies to bathe (and velocity dry) and clip/grind nails. Baths are only offered to dogs with a short coat (not breeds that have long or thick hair that could get matted-ex: huskies).
