“Anna is so great with our dog Max. She went the extra mile during a storm to comfort him. She takes him for long walks. Je loves her visits!”

Patrice L.

“She has been absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat, who grew very attached to her. She went above and beyond, even helping with things that weren’t part of the contract, and I am so grateful for her kindness and dedication. Having her as my sitter gave me complete peace of mind—I couldn’t have asked for a better person!”

“Nick was awesome, made sure my dogs were taken care of while we were away on vacation. I’d highly recommend him and we’ll absolutely use him again.”

Stephen L.

“Courtney was awesome. We have a friendly but nervous and shy Siamese, and she coaxed her out, as well as helping take care of our marine aquarium. She kept us well informed and managed to get great pics that helped us relax completely about her care. She will definitely be our pet caregiver going forward. We highly recommend her.”

Kathryn F.

“Zachary was a lifesaver for my hyper Husky! He visited her three times daily and made sure she was exercised, fed, and happy! He sent regular photo updates so I knew she was doing well and went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe while there were thunderstorms moving through the area (doesn’t like the thunder). I came home to a happy Husky. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking him again.”

Bryce L.

“Kassidy did a great job dropping in on Sugar and Chase. She was on time and made sure they got all the food and playtime they needed while I was away. Will use again!”

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs for both my friends and family. My experience ranges from small dogs to BIG dogs, including watching and taking care of multiple at a time. I work from home full time so if the need is to watch a pet for a few hours, a whole day or a whole week or more I am very flexible and can do my full time job from anywhere with internet. I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home as my family has allergies but I am happy to care for them over at your house, make sure they feel comfortable, loved and make sure they aren’t alone for long periods of time.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My journey with dogs started in 2001 when my family got our first pup. As my brother left for the military, I took on full responsibility — daily walks, grooming, vet visits — you name it. Since then, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, providing loving care during short stays or extended vacations (from 1 day to 2 weeks). Whether it’s cuddles, exercise, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. 🐶 Services: ✔️ In-home dog sitting ✔️ House sitting with pet care ✔️ Feeding, walking, playtime & more ✔️ Medication & special care if needed Pet care fits in my schedule for anytime after 3 Monday through Friday. I have open availability on the weekends . If you need me over night I am available. Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I offer personalized services including playtime, daily walks, gentle brushing, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, affection, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like family and can’t wait to meet yours!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent over 10 years as a paid pet sitter, but truly, my experience began in childhood, surrounded by pets I adored and cared for. Most recently, I spent two years in Peru providing long-term care for beloved pets while their families were away for months at a time. During that time, I managed a small farm with 11 animals — horses, dogs, cats, and chickens — each with their own personality and needs. Now back in Michigan pursuing my Master’s in Social Work, I would love nothing more than to spend my days with animals again. I promise to care for your pets as I have always cared for my own, with patience, love, and unwavering attention. I work and attend school from home, which allows me to be present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. While I don’t have classes every day or all day, I have long breaks that I use for walks, playtime, and quality companionship. This flexible schedule means your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while I balance my work and studies. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I understand how important it is to maintain a safe, calm environment for your pets while you’re away. I follow any specific routines and instructions you provide to ensure their needs are met exactly as they’re used to. My priority is to build trust with both you and your pets so they feel cared for and at ease throughout my visits.

“Veronica is great with a rambunctious puppy and she is very sweet! I love that she is flexible with our varying work schedules and she is quick to respond to messages as well.. highly recommend!!”

About: I go by Nora usually - I have had dogs in my home my whole life and I plan to continue. I have only housed rescue dogs, so I have dealt with all temperaments. I love all dogs and dog types. I love going on walks with the pups, snuggling, and playing fetch if they’re interested. I’m comfortable giving meds with your instructions, maintaining a feeding schedule, and picking up poop. I currently have 2 kittens, and have always loved cats of all ages. I love to play, snuggle, and care for all types of dogs and cats. I work a corporate job, 1-2 days from home, 3-4 days in Pontiac area. I can easily visit your pets in the morning or evenings any day. If you are nearby I can adjust my office days to fit your needs. I’m very flexible, so please reach out and I’m sure we can work out a schedule. I am a gentle person who loves all animals. When arriving at your home, I would enter quietly so to not scare your pet/s. If greeted happily, I would gladly roll on the ground with them & get acquainted. I would generally take your dog outside immediately so to avoid any accidents on the floor. I would check the water, food, and bathroom situation to make sure everything is appropriately filled. Any needs you need for your pet I am happy to accommodate.

“Majorie and her daughter came last minute for me. I am very happy with the care they provide for Sully.”

About: I have lots of experience with children and animals alike, and I have volunteered for a large animal shelter every fall for 3 year now. I have also been an in house, overnight sitter for a client before. I am very open with my communication, and would love to help you and your furry family members have a wonderful Rover experience! I work full time as an elementary teacher, but on free days I am available to work for any animals and owners that need care! I come to your home to ensure a safe, comfortable, and known environment for your animals. I am also a very clean person, so no messes will be there when I leave!

“Justin is great. I could see my dogs happy when he is around by nice pictures he shared from them. All went fine for the drop in visits. Definitely will contact Justin again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Rae. I am the owner of Wags & Whiskas MI, a pet sitting company based out of Commerce. We have several sitters available! Animals are my WHOLE LIFE. I have 6 years (& counting!) of shelter, clinical veterinary, and vacation sitting experience combined. What we offer: ✅Customized care plans for YOUR family. ✅Detailed updates 3x a day, including pictures & videos. ✅ Real life experience with medication administration, oral and injectables. ✅ Background checked & clean history. ✅ Pet CPR certified. ✅ I own a newer, reliable vehicle under warranty. ✅ Clean driving record. ✅ Insured - When I’m in your home you’re covered! About Me! I’ve dedicated my life working with animals because they are the world’s most precious beings. I can tell what an animal needs by their body language, vocalizations, and expressions. When I am not at a client’s house, I’m at the Oakland County Shelter. I LOVE SENIOR ANIMALS! There is something so special about the bonds I’ve created over time with all of my clients. There’s nothing like getting into bed with a cuddle puddle after a long day. 🐾 In my spare time, I like to train my own dog, hike, and play cozy/puzzle games for Nintendo Switch. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family! I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I do a few days of housekeeping here and there, but this is my life! On the weekends, I like to spend time at home with my dog & boyfriend. I give updates 3x per day with pictures and always cover the basics first. Food, water, potty. After that comes exercise and love! Even with shy cats, I’ll always make sure to give my clients their money’s worth by scooping litter, cleaning cat towers, or doing household chores. I will get the details of care beforehand and put it into a care plan and follow it to a T to ensure your animal will be cared for exactly as you would. My goal is also to leave the home as cleanly as I found it, if not cleaner!

About: I love animals! I love connecting with them and learning about their different traits and needs. I have friends in the dog training business that have given me lots of tips and training on how they do things. PS If you are wanting a house sit it is usually just me and not Thomas at all, but it's whatever you want and request and if I'm not available Thomas has experience and references and is happy to do it instead. By the way we just got an update from our housing authority that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more so this is and unfortunate update. :( I am pretty free since I am self employeed as a remote English teacher. I lived in Taiwan and Asia long enough that I have plenty of clients to do remote work. :) Well I put my clients needs first. Just like when I nanny or do childcare work or teaching I really try to listen to the "parents" aka pet owners in this scenario and listen to what their desires are. Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to come first! I am very happy to provide or use your toys and play with your pet and pamper them. Give them just enough food and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.
