About: I've been walking dogs and house-sitting since high school. There's nothing I love more than getting outside, and having a dog by my side makes it even better. I'm also lucky to have a beautiful home with a fully fenced yard, so dogs of all ages and energy levels are welcome. Couch potato or high energy pup — there's space for both here. Your dog will be in good hands and treated like family. I have a flexible work from home schedule and will be able to accommodate your preferred walking routine. I love taking dogs in the car to explore new areas or I'm happy to walk them around your block. Morning, midday, or evening are all workable. For boarding, I am flexible in terms of drop-off or pick-up. Dogs are welcome to board any day of the week and for any length of time. I have a fenced in yard and lots of time to spend with your pet! Currently, there are no pets in the house, but the space really is perfect for it. There may be additions coming soon! In the meantime your pet will enjoy lots of attention and care. I am comfortable following any food, medication, or treat/training routine you are currently implementing. I keep my space very neat and tidy. If I am in your space, I will of course be respectful and do the same.
About: I have cared for quite a few dogs (and cats) in the past, some young and some old, some big and some small. No matter how much hair your dog has, how rowdy they are, or how fragile they have become, I will care for them all the same! I promise I am reliable, responsible, and always put your pets' needs first. I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, make sure they get plenty of fun exercise outside, and show them all the love and care they deserve. I hope to meet your adorable pup(s) soon! I am a student and a part-time employee though I have lots of flexibility in the summer. Most days and times work for me! I have two sweet and lovable cats of my own, so I am unable to care for pets in my own home. I am very active, though, and I love going for walks. So why not have an adorable dog by my side!

About: 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊 I just graduated form UofM and looking to gain some more experience working with animals this summer! I had 2 small/medium dogs growing up, where I played a very active role in caring for them. I have experience fostering a kitten (4-9 months) and cat sitting for friends on weekends. I'm comfortable reading an animal's body language, adhering to whatever feeding/bathroom schedule your pet is used to, and actively playing both indoors and outdoors (dogs + outdoor cats). I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ I am taking one asynchronous class this summer, so my schedule is quite flexible! I will ensure my calendar reflects days when I will be in town and able to commit my time to your pet! I am able to check on your friend multiple times per day if needed. I am very patient when meeting new animals and I have experience meeting and caring for shy animals. I have no doubt that I will be able to build trust with your animal in order to care for them properly! I am able to put animals in crates and carriers as needed. As a foster parent, I am experienced in noticing signs of distress, discomfort, and medical emergency and can respond promptly and appropriately. I take care in ensuring that your home is left the way I found it (or better!), so I would be excited to take the time to clean up any "accidents" and put toys away before I leave your home!
About: I have had pets my entire life (I currently have three dogs!), and have been a dog sitter for family friends. I have always loved spending time with animals and I can’t wait to spend time with yours! I’m currently a part-time student at UM staying in Ann Arbor until the end of June. I’m also a tutor, volunteer, and research assistant, but feel that pet care would fit well into my weekly routine and help both me and the pets! I am willing to follow any specific instructions you may have for your dog, and am always careful to respect the space that these pets reside in!
About: I grew up with a golden retriever named Hailey, and when I was younger I helped my mom foster care for various puppies and cats. I am available weekdays during the summer. I am a 6 ft broad shouldered guy, so I can handle any dogs you throw at me. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I gaurentee your dog will get a ton of positive attention, and physical activity if need be! Hope to meet tons of cool dogs! Currently doing Rover work as a summer job while I go to school for engineering! Available most weekdays and some weekends. Have a dog of my own but my parents treat him like a grandchild so I have plenty of time for Rover. Have plenty of experience with high anxiety/elder dogs as well as dogs with special needs such as diabetes who need injections through my sister's dog as well as some neighbors! One such dog usually hates people who aren't his owner but I wore him down and now he loves me! She is always shocked at how he reacts when he sees me, usually he barks and snarls at most people/other dogs but he's all cuddles when I come by. My sister's dog is high anxiety and hates most men but of course not me because Im special. (jk just great with dogs!)
“Oanh is amazing. We had her do regular drop ins through the summer. Great communicator, gave my dogs and cats tons of love and attention. Was always willing to go the extra mile when they needed it. Extremely attentive to their needs. Absolute best Rover sitter you will find.”

“We had a great experience with Abigail taking care of our two senior dogs over Memorial Day weekend! She was communicative, prompt, and consistently checked in when questions came up. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our dogs’ individual needs and quirks. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in reliable and attentive hands while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

“She was absolutely great and sweet with our cat ❤️ she took care of all of his extra stuff like timed feeder, catio access etc. I'm glad our cat had such great company while we were away.”

“Sara was amazing and a lifesaver this past holiday! My babies loved her and we're well taken care of. She is also responsive, patient and understanding. Will definitely have her again!”
“Lynn did a fantastic job taking car of our cats. She made sure they were fed and Cleaned their litter everyday. We were kept up to date with plenty of pictures and videos of playtime. I would recommend hiring Lynn, and look Forward to working with her again”

About: Hello im Cheyenne! I have been around animals my entire life. Ranging from big to small I love all kinds of pets! I have a lot of experience with my own pets from chihuahuas to pit bulls to bunnies and even hedgehogs. I help out my family and friends with pet sitting and I always treat like my own. I’m comfortable with preparing food, medications, walking, and caring for any breed of furry friend. My dogs also suffer from sever allergies so i’m aware of the perception’s and care that needs to be taken with pet allergies. I’m a Junior at the University of Michigan home for the summer looking to help out your furry family. I’m available most days of the week in mornings and afternoons! I love taking my dog outside to get some nice fresh air and she loves a game of fetch. Since my dog does have severe allergies I prepare her food from scratch for breakfast and dinner!
About: I have lived with at least one pet my whole life. My family and I got two new labradors in 2020 and I have done a majority of the care taking. I walk, feed, and care for them! My neighbors, family, and friends have also hired me to watch, walk, and care for their pets as well. I have dog sat dogs of all sizes and have no trouble handling bigger dogs. I just moved to Chicago for a summer internship and I am looking for a way to stay active while also taking care of animals that I love! I will be available all week until June 16th, then I will only be available on the weekend or later in the afternoon on weekdays to care for your pets. I am an extremely organized and timely individual. I will insure that I am on time for each dog walking session and when I am in your home I will be respectful, careful, and clean!
“She did a phenomenal job taking care of my two cats - one of whom is an elderly cat that needs medications twice a day. Not only did she make sure that they were well fed and watered, she also cleaned up my elderly cat when she got some poop stuck to her and played with both of my cats every time she visited. I cannot recommend Janice enough - she was an amazing cat sitter!”

“Amazing job. Wutt was professional, punctual, receptive to changes in our cats’ needs while we’re gone. Wutt went above and beyond, cannot recommend her services enough.”

Ann Arbor dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Abigail taking care of our two senior dogs over Memorial Day weekend! She was communicative, prompt, and consistently checked in when questions came up. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our dogs’ individual needs and quirks. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in reliable and attentive hands while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again!

Melissa has been amazing with communication and was able to accommodate last-minute requests with my dogs, one of whom can be a little challenging due to his separation anxiety. My dogs had a blast with her! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely continue using her services when she’s available.

Kayla is fantastic with my dogs! She comes twice a week, and the difference in their demeanor when I get home on those days is amazing. She communicates really well, is reliable, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would highly recommend her!

Fantastic! Our dogs are friendly, but timid and shy. Especially when we are not around. Isabel was able to really help our animals feel comfortable and at ease with our time away. They were well cared for and she went above and beyond the whole time. Will work with her again in the future
