“Miranda is amazing Togo absolutely loves her and her babies! She is very much willing to work with my strange schedule which is awesome and hard to find. Definitely still having her look after my baby whenever I’m in Michigan ?”


“Shannon was the ansolute best for my senior pittie. I was so nervous about having someone watch him for an entire week while on vacay. Mostly due to his diabetes and needing insulin injections every 12 hrs. Not only did she manage his diabetes well she provided a fun environment for him, updates on his goofy behavior (lol) and a welcoming environment with many other pups for him to play with. I found my Rover sitter! Hands down. And less than 15 min drive from my home too ☺ ? thank you Shannon. I highly recommend!!”

About: ONLY SIT UP TO 25 lbs... Hello, I'm Cynthia, a true animal lover; I have owned many dogs & cats, they're my passion and bring me much joy. I will care for your babies like they're my own. I will provide a home away from home. I live in home in Chesterfield (23 Mile & Sugarbush/Seaden) with a beautiful fenced yard; only dogs up to 25 lbs. I often sit 1-4 dogs at a time; so your pet must be able to get along with other dogs. I will take your pets on daily walks and supervise them outside frequently to potty. I don’t use crates unless the owner requests; and the babies sleep with me! For dogs that might be a bit nervous or crabby away from home, I use lavender and chamomile oils to sooth their nerves. I am retired and have lived in the Macomb County area for 18 years. I have excellent personal and business references. My goal is to love and enjoy your animals and provide them with the best possible and safest environment. I love to take photos & will send lots of pics of your babies while you’re gone. Oh, and book early, I fill up quickly, and please note the cancellation policy. I look forward to hearing from you! Cynthia I'm retired and home quite a bit, outside of normal activities, such as shopping, occasional dining out, etc. The dogs are very happy in my home. I have a totally privacy fenced yard, the dogs love to run around, sniff all over the place, and my home has safety gates on front and side doors.

About: I’ve taken care of & shown all kinds & sizes of dogs since I was 8. Currently only have one dog, but he’s a big boy. I’ve showed Golden, Poms, GSD, husky and our current pet is a Berner/Pyrenees. Groomed all of them too. Also experienced with livestock, so I can handle anything! Grew up with horses, goats, cats and rabbits. Super excited to meet your baby! I am looking to fill some time, so I would be super excited to visit your pet! I’m also very flexible on scheduling as well. I will try to keep your pet to their normal schedule, so even if you are gone, they will not be too upset. I respect your property, and will clean up after the dog & myself to the best of my ability.

“We have great things to say about Anushka. She was accepted our appointment request immediately and she was very attentive to our arrival. After a brief discussion she took the lead and we could see right away that Cypress was relaxed with her. While Cypress was only with her for a few hours, based on the pictures she sent and the report she provided, Anushka was clearly in tune with our dog’s needs and Cypress was a happy dog when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Anushka in the future.”
