“Michael was friendly, professional, very responsive and took great care of my two cats while I was gone. Would definitely recommend him. Thank you again Michael!”
“Angela is great! She booked on short noticed and was amazing at notifying me. She sent great pictures and made sure my dogs were happy. Would definitely book with her again as she was very reliable!”
“Sara was so wonderful! She met with me and my cat before I headed out of town! She sent lots of pictures and even brought in some mail for me. Would definitely recommend Sara to anyone who needs a reliable sitter!!”
“I have two loving and active cats who can be a handful sometimes and Brianna ALWAYS does an amazing job with them! She sends thoughtful updates with great pictures which I really love and she pays attention to the small details (e.g. cleaning out their food dishes when they’re done eating so they don’t accumulate dry gunk and changing the water regularly so it’s fresh) which makes such a difference coming home! We love Brianna and are repeat bookers every time she’s available!”
“Marissa is a gem. She met our cat Gizmo before we left for vacation and took detailed notes. Then before we left, she followed up with us and confirmed the notes she took. She kept us up to date while we were out and sent some of the best photos of our little guy. Highly recommend!”

About: I love dogs and want to spend my time exploring nature with them and meeting their needs. I spent a year volunteering at my local animal shelter as a socialized by walking multiple dogs a few times a week. I’m always a trusted caretaker when my friends’ families go on vacation, giving me experience with all types of temperaments and energy levels. Personally, I’ve had dogs in my family since I was born. I’ve always taken initiative in taking care of them–even taking them to the vet regularly as soon as I had my license. I currently work a full time 8-5 job on weekdays, but I would love to spend evenings with your pets or most anytime on the weekends :) I am very observant about dogs’ comfort levels and would be diligent when walking them to be aware of their surroundings, basic needs, anxiety levels, and enjoyment. I am physically able to maintain control of the leash even with large dogs.
“Katherine provided an excellent care and our dog absolutely loves her! She went above and beyond to make our fur baby comfortable & ecstatic 🤩. We highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone they can really trust. Blessings”
“Meaghan was amazing! She did such a wonderful job with my dog Arlo, was so friendly and courteous and gave amazing updates! She was very accommodating and super professional. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’m a neuroscience major at the University of Michigan and have extensive experience with large dogs!! I have 3 german shepherds back home who I miss very dearly, and would be more than happy to walk your dog(s) or keep them company! My family trained all of our dogs very thoroughly and I have learned to read and take care of dogs very well according to their individual needs. As a part time student over the summer, I have very open availability except for Monday and Wednesday mornings (free after 11am) and Sunday afternoons (free before 1 and after 3) I know to stay calm in situations that are stressful for dogs and that building a rapport with them can take time. I'll also make sure they get plenty of opportunities to sniff around and explore on their walks so that they have a great time.
About: I have always had a passion for animals throughout my childhood which is why I have devoted my studies towards animal science at the University of Michigan and to eventually attend Veterinary school elsewhere. I have been pet sitting for around 8-10 years, both big and small, along with having family pets of my own throughout my entire life. Once I was established in Ann Arbor I worked at a Doggy Day Care for one school year while also working at an Animal Hospital for over 2 years. I have learned a great deal of useful information throughout my time at the hospital as I held numerous positions including: CCS, Kennel Assistant, Prescription Assistant and Veterinary Assistant. I take great pride in being able to assist in the care of our animals and to be an advocate for their health when they are unable to. Every dog and cat I meet steals a little bit of my heart everytime I am with them. I work part-time at an animal hospital throughout the entire year and a student living on campus during the school year. My schedule is very flexible and always within a short radius of each other. I think it is important to listen to the needs of the pet as every pet is different. I am accommodating to each pet's needs and wants.
“Autumn took amazing care of my cat Ruby! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend her and would definitely have her take care of Ruby again!”
About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs for 9 years and always play with them and catch their feelings closely to meet their needs! Really good at potty cleaning and senior care I currently working as part time, so i have a plenty of time for pet sitting and give a lot of attention to the pets as they needed! When visiting client’s home, always look around what to use and expect and listen the client’s advise for the pets. When visiting my home, normally clean and able to use space to run around for the pets
About: Hi, everyone! My name is Emily (she/her) and I am a current dental student at UofM! I have prior experience dog sitting and dog walking on Rover during undergrad and have recently joined again to make some money during dental school. I have a 4 yo cat named Archibald whom I recently adopted and I had an elderly cat (who recently passed away at 17 yo) named Annette whom I fostered and ultimately adopted almost 3 years ago. I have taken care of many of my friends’ pets (dogs, cats, hedgehogs, frogs, fish)! I absolutely love animals and will make sure that your fur babies receive the most loving and best care there is! My schedule is pretty packed during dental school from 8-5pm, but there are blocks during the weekdays where I am free (depends on my rotation/patient schedule) so just message me for specific days/times and we can see what works! Additionally, I am typically available anytime during the weekends! I would make sure to meet the needs of your pets and more by communicating with you and establishing your trust first and foremost. I am incredibly detail oriented (especially since I have a high needs cat), so I would have a schedule of your pets’ routine for the day and keep notes of any accommodations when it comes to diet, play time, walks, hygiene, cuddles, and more! I will also be very respectful and clean in your homes, treating it as well as my own if not better!
About: I have had dogs since I was 6 years old! I have lots of experience dog walking and sitting with others' pets. I am comfortable around puppies and older dogs. I am a college student from the University of Michigan who is back for winter break. I have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs and spend quality time with them. I have a small fenced-in yard and two dogs to keep your dog company! There is a beach nearby if your dog is a fan of the water.

Meghan T.
“To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this testimonial to recommend my daughter, Meghan Tuttle, for the position of dog walker. Meghan is nineteen years old, and since she was seven years old, our family has raised large dogs, German shepherds in particular. Meghan has been intimately involved with these dogs since they were puppies. During this time, Meghan has learned first-hand how to train puppies and how to train dogs as they have grown up. As part of this, she has had to walk the dogs, initially with one of her parents, but eventually on her own as she has grown older and more experienced. Through this process, Meghan has shown that she not only can take great care of dogs and can handle large dogs but also that she has great affection for dogs. Therefore, I highly recommend Meghan to be a dog walker. I can assure you that she will demonstrate not only her competence in taking care of dogs but also her dedication to their well-being. Sincerely,”

Eric L.
“I cannot recommend Eric highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in the best hands. He treated my pup like family—providing not just the basics, but true love, attention, and care. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust with my furry family member. Thank you, Eric for going above and beyond!”
Emily D.
“Emily is a great pet caregiver! She watched my dog for a couple weeks while I was on vacation and I never had a doubt about the quality of care my baby was receiving. She’s great with animals, and shows a clear love and respect for every animal she interacts with. I would highly recommend her as your next pet-sitter.”
Olivia E.
“Olivia cared for our dogs, as well as several friends' dogs and cats, throughout her high school years. She is extremely reliable, communicates well, and is well loved by our dogs. She exercises them twice a day, provides playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day.”
