“Ivy did a great job watching my dog Porter. He is a large dog who is afraid of everything, so he can be a challenge to watch. Ivy quickly made friends with him, and she took care of him while we were away for the holiday. She sent some amazing pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for.”
“My dog is a bit of a challenge. He is really timid, and it takes him time to get used to people. Rani won him over quickly and took good care of him. Her communication was great, and she gave a lot of details about each of her visits. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Peace of mind is what Jenna provided us! We are first time Rover users. Jenna was all business with a huge side of kindness!! She fought the awful elements here in Michigan...we were gone during the extreme cold so we are extra appreciative! She even washed out the food containers I had prepared our dog's food in, as well as the fun lick pad we use for our cat! I honestly didn't expect that because I am lazy and leaving them soaking for a week! Hahaha Also, being that we were gone for 7 days (they are used to me being home everyday) I appreciated the pictures of Piper and Archer cuddling with Jenna! Tells me all I need to know! Jenna will be our future extended fam!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals through out my life such as cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. I am trained on giving dogs oral medicine. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I'm working on my Fear Free Shelter certification and Fear Free Homes certification. I am currently working a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty free. I do not mind early mornings or late evenings. I am flexible. I can drop in and visit your cat or dog. I love playing with both. I can also perform basic care like feeding, watering, cleaning litter boxes. I can also take your dog on walks.
“Kelly has been amazing with my animals! Very dependable, caring, and great communication. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, each with very different personalities and she's always able to get them to come out for her check ins. Would definitely recommend her!”
“This is the second time Jennifer took care of my kitty for an extended period of time. She is still amazing. She plays and cuddles with him, and makes sure he is brushed and shiny, on top of the usual things like feeding him and cleaning out the litterbox. She sends lots of photos, helping me feel closer to my cat. My cat even lets humans rub his belly after spending time with Jennifer - she has the magic touch! Jennifer is wonderful with pets, responsible and trustworthy.”
“Immaculate care and flexibility with our wild holiday schedule. Zenon was well cared for and gave several meows of approval when we returned. Happy to book again!”
“Gabrielle did a great job with our pets. She gave them lots of attention and sent plenty of photos each time she visited. The water bowls were kept topped off and the litter boxes scooped. Highly recommended!”
“We felt very comfortable with Jessi! Our first time booking her, and she took excellent care of our dog. Quick to communicate and sent detailed updates, which was much appreciated!”
“Janice was absolutely incredible! I reached out to her last minute because we urgently needed someone to check our 12-year-old baby girl for the day, and she responded right away and quickly set up a meet-and-greet with Scarlet. She was so kind, patient, and understanding from the start. When she came to care for Scarlet, she brought toys and treats, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and truly went above and beyond. She even stayed outside with her while she did her business and waited with her in the cold weather. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I felt completely at peace knowing Scarlet was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Janice again whenever we’re not available. Thank you so much, Janice!”
“Silvia is the best!!! She met with my three cats a couple days before so I could introduce them and show her around. She came at the same time everyday, and was sooo great!! She sent lots and lots of pictures and was absolutely amazing with communication. I felt completely at ease entrusting her with the care of my furry family members. She even captured the trust of my skiddish cat who doesn’t usually warm up to strangers. She is very trustworthy and absolutely the type of person you want pet sitting your animals :) Will absolutely book again!”
About: I understand how some animals need special care. I have a 14 year old cat that has an autoimmune disease. When he is fed, there is a detailed list of thing’s that must go into his food. I have also cared for a senior cat that needed to eat at very specific times because he was so thin. Every animal is different and as owners we know what they need to have their best life. I do my best to treat each pet just as their owners treat them. I work part time right now and the only days I am not completely available are Tuesdays and Thursday. I can care for your pet Monday and Wednesday anytime and Friday through Sundays anytime if your animals are alright with children because I have a 9 year old son. I won’t be able to bring your pet to my home because I have multiple cats that would be disturbed. I however can care for them at your house.
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! The best pet sitter on this app! I’ve booked with several other pet sitters before, but Tera has truly been the best. I booked drop-in visits over Christmas and New Years and she went above and beyond each visit. She spent so much time with my cat and gave her so much love! She will treat your pet as if they are her own ❤️ Book with her if you have the opportunity to, she is amazing!”
“Rachel went above and beyond when taking care of my boys during the holidays, even offering to call maintenence and bring by a space heater when my furnace decided to stop working! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”

Ypsilanti cat parents share their Rover experiences
She was so sweet! Easy to communicate with, took all my concerns about having a sitter very seriously and helped me feel good about leaving my buddies with her, and the buddies LOVED her! My cats are usually really antisocial, but they came out and cuddled her, and my dog was happy too.
Natasha did an excellent job caring for our kitties! It gave us a lot of peace of mind being gone for longer than we normally are. She was very communicative and responsive and gave us thorough report cards each day. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for pet care :)
Christine saved our holiday stepping in very last minute and taking care of our two 5 month old kittens. One of them needed daily medicine and a lot of attention. She brought a calm and caring energy and was very professional and communicative. We are so grateful and would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets!
