Audrey was very loving with our pups. She seemed to enjoy them and that made us comfortable with leacving them in her care. Thanks, Audrey!

About: Prior to moving to Detroit. I walked dogs for the my local shelter in Illinois. I’ve also watched friends and families pets for weeks at a time. I am almost always available on weekends, even early mornings or late at night. Weekdays I’m available after 4 pm to as late as 11 pm. Try to make the pets as comfortable as possible, I try to keep them entertained by playing with toys, taking long walks or even a trip to the dog park.

I knew Lizzi and Milano would have a great time together after seeing them interact during the meet and greet. She took great care of him while I was away and I couldn’t be happier with her sitting capabilities. I will definitely be requesting her services again!☺️

We were so glad Becki could stay with Layla on a late notice! You can tell she has a love for and knowledge of animals, she left our home spotless and sent us updates with photos which was great! She took Layla for walks which she loves. We did not worry about Layla’s care for a second while we were away! We would definitely recommend booking with Becki.

Rob stayed at our home overnight to care for our two dogs. He also did a bunch of drop ins. Both Rob and Heather are great. Hire them. You will be glad that you did, and more importantly, your furry family members will be happy and benefit greatly from their loving kindness, acts of friendship and service.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!

Miguel did a great job, recently caring for our two dogs and cat, while we were away for a week. He left our home exactly as he found it, communicated with us immediately when we had questions or comments and did everything we asked him to do. It’s a blessing to know such a fine young man.

About: I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, caring for many different breeds of dogs and cats, as well as chickens and snakes! I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who require medication and extra attention, along with young puppies and kittens who require patience and play. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them in the yard, and I love playing with and snuggling cats to make sure every pet feels safe, happy and well cared for! I’m a 29-year old remote worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of time at home caring for your pets. I’m available to house sit 7 days a week, and for those who just need check-ins, I’m happy to stop by after 5pm on weekdays, and anytime after 10am on weekends. Your pets will get lots of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m not able to board animals at my home, but for those who I house sit for, the type of care is completely dependent on the animal and the owner. I can provide hourly care if necessary, but my main concern is making sure your pet(s) is getting what they need to keep them as happy and comfortable as possible.

About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 12, 15 and 17 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. My 17 year old son is responsible, loves pets and enjoys to help out by doing drop in visits to earn some extra money. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!

Riley was unbelievably AMAZING when it came to watching our dogs 🐕 we went on vacation to Disney world, which I had been dreading because our pitbull had ACL surgery in September and was still recovering & also getting ready for her second surgery on the other leg the week after vacation. Riley was the reason we enjoyed our vacation and didn’t stress the whole time, we haven’t had great luck with pet sitters in the past & I always come home to a problem. This time I literally came home to nothing wrong & she even offered to do very kind things like vacuum the house & do laundry 🧺 which she did not have to do but the thought and willingness is above and beyond. Her communication was 100% amazing the whole time & most importantly our pitbull & 110 pound horse of a golden retriever LOVED RILEY & literally got pictures of them snuggling her every day and night. As long as Riley is doing this she will be our permanent pet sitter for whenever we leave town for a few days. We cannot thank her enough for all she did and we are very grateful that we found her, I know I’ll remember her always because I’ll think of the smiles on my kids faces at Disney world and how my wife & I were able to soak all of that in instead of fretting about the dogs & house back home 🏡. I would recommend Riley over anyone on here :-) Thank you again Riley 🫶 - The King family :-)

Jillian was terrific - professional, a great communicator and attentive to my senior dog’s quirks and daily medication regime during a four-night stay at our house this month. We especially appreciated the daily report cards and cute photos that she sent, and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We will happily book her again!

Audrey is the Mary Poppins of pet sitting! She is a kind, compassionate lover of all animals, and we knew our pets would be in great care while away. We had quite the tall order- last minute request, a newly adopted, rambunctious tween cat, and very shy/timid older cat…as well as guinea pig on top. She was responsive, organized & thorough, and completely spoiled the pets throughout the stay. Our house was even cleaner and tidier than before we left! She really goes above and beyond, and we look forward to booking again in the future. :)

I cannot recommend Leti highly enough! She stayed overnight in my home to care for my baby (Lab/Husky mis), who unfortunately had an injury. Leti went above and beyond in every way. The level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness she showed truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. She followed every care instruction perfectly, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure my baby was comfortable and happy the entire time. Beyond caring for my guy, she was incredibly respectful of my home, leaving everything spotless and tidy—it's like she was never there, except for the big smiles on my pet's face! It's rare to find someone you can trust so completely with both your fur baby and your home. I’m so grateful to have found Leti and will absolutely be booking her again. She is a true gem on Rover! 🐾❤️

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog Gracie received from our dog sitter, Kerrie! From the moment they met, it was clear that Gracie felt safe and loved — and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kerrie went above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and little notes about Gracie’s day, which we truly appreciated. Kerrie also took great care of our home. We will definitely hire her again!

Eric is very easy going and did a great job with my senior dog- and my low maintenance dog. I felt completely at ease while traveling. He communicates well and the pictures he sent were the exact same ones I take every day, so I know the dogs felt as comfortable with him too. I will definitely use him again.
