I grew up with a dog and ever since have loved animals. I also lived with a cat for two years. I assure you your pet couldn't be in better hands. I am kind and loving towards all animals.

About: Hiya! I’m John, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From my loyal Black Lab Doc, playful Mini Aussie Sakura, and regal Siberian cat Louis, to my tiny but demanding pea puffers, I’ve built a life surrounded by animals, learning how to meet their needs with patience, compassion, and respect. I’ve helped care for animals with a range of personalities and needs, from high-energy pups to sensitive or reactive pets who need a little extra space and understanding. I’m confident with medication management, basic training, and making even the shyest pets feel safe and seen. I bring the same sense of care and responsibility to pet sitting that I carried in my service as a U.S. Navy Veteran, and now as a Pre-Med Biology student. When I’m not studying or volunteering with the Belle Isle Conservancy, I’m often biking around Detroit or spending time with animals. They’re a grounding and joyful part of my life. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority. Whether they need a cuddle buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m here to treat them like family. My schedule is generally open and flexible, and I do my best to accommodate the unique needs of each pet and their family. While I occasionally travel, I only accept bookings when I know I can fully commit to your pet’s care. When I’m with your animals, they have my full attention, I stick to their routines, respect their comfort levels, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. When I enter someone’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always aim to leave things just as I found them, if not a little tidier. I also take time to scan the environment for anything that could pose a risk or distraction to your pet, making sure the space stays safe, calm, and just the way you left it. Your home and your pet’s routine are in good hands.

Provide medication and a lots of attention. Very patient and loving. I work remotely. I can stay with your pet all day and provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. I can take breaks during the day for walks, and they can sleep in my bed at night. I have a large fenced back yard. No children or other pets in my house. I live alone and work from home. I will provide plwnty of attention and play time.

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I love to pet sit for anyone looking for help over the weekend. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life, all toy breeds. I have had my Staffordshire bull terrier Roxy for 5 years and she loves other dogs - although she is very high energy so that must be suitable for your dog. I have met the nicest people and dogs through Rover and feel lucky to be a part of this community. I live in a 2 bedroom, upper flat floor apartment, with a Roxy and her cat sister Raisin. I have an unfenced backyard and am 1 block from a gated dog park. I have extensive practice in administering oral and injectable medications for animals. My work schedule varies as I work in the medical field, but I generally work for 8 hours during the day. I am home on weekends and tend to spend most of my day with my pets, and yours too! I provide regular potty breaks and walks. I will oversee all meals. I keep the environment free of anything harmful to pets like toxic plants or foods. I am happy to incorporate whatever rules you wish.

About: Back again and ready to care for your pups like family! 🐾 I’ve had my own dog for 9 years—he’s off-leash trained, never needed a crate, and truly part of our home. I’m a lifelong dog lover, and now my 3-year-old daughter is following in my footsteps—she’s gentle, kind, and absolutely obsessed with dogs! At 29, I run my own business and keep a calm, organized home, perfect for pups who need love, attention, and a safe space to relax or play. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, your dog will be treated like one of our own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Dog care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work from home and run my own business, which means I have the flexibility to create my schedule around your pup’s needs—especially during the day. I’m a single mom, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my daughter is with her dad, giving me extra time and quiet space to dedicate to dog care. While I’m usually busier on evenings and weekends, I’m super organized and manage my time well—so there’s always room for a four-legged guest! Whether it’s midweek cuddles, walks, or daytime hangs, I’ve got the time, love, and energy to give your dog a cozy home away from home. Safety and comfort are top priorities in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs a secure space to play and explore freely. For pups who need a little extra caution, I also have an extended leash option—so they can still enjoy the outdoors without worry. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. Whether they’re energetic or more reserved, I know how to tune in to their needs and make them feel safe, seen, and cared for. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space where your pup will feel right at home. 🐾

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

About: Growing up in a home filled with as many as 15 dogs at any given time, I was immersed in the world of professional dog training from an early age. My mother, a certified service and therapy dog trainer with CCPDT and IAABC credentials, passed on her wealth of knowledge to me as I assisted her in training and caring for our foster dogs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience in handling and training dogs of all temperaments. While I am currently working toward my own certification, my background allows me to provide expert-level care and understanding for your pets. I am confident that my lifelong experience can offer the perfect balance of love, care, and discipline that every dog needs. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter—I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved companions. By day, I’m a director at a small airline which I work from home, which means I’ve got plenty of time to hang out and play with your best friend! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays—let’s make sure your furry friends get the fun and attention they deserve! My home offers the perfect environment for your pup to play and relax. I have a fenced yard with a large sun shade, plenty of toys, and video surveillance for added peace of mind. Your dog will enjoy fresh, filtered water and healthy treats (with their human'a permission). For dietary reasons, their humans must provide their dog's food. Your pup is welcome to roam freely inside the house, but if you prefer them to be crated, I can accommodate that as well—just bring their crate along. Rest assured, your furry friend will be safe and comfortable in a clean, well-maintained, smoke-free home. As mentioned in my bio, I have extensive experience in dog care and training. Training services are also available for an additional fee for both the furry students and humans.
