1. Star M.
“Star was a fantastic sitter! She was available on short notice and was extremely responsive to messages. She took great care of our dog for a week and was sure to send daily updates/photos. She even took the liberty to wash our dog after he got muddy in the rain. This was the longest time we’ve left our dog with a sitter and her updates and prompt responses put us at ease.”
2. Whitney & Samuel Y.
“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”
3. Beverly R.
“Beverly is wonderful. My return flight was cancelled so I was stuck in Los Angeles and couldn’t pick up my dog as scheduled. I messaged Beverly and she contacted Rover to modify the booking. She was able to keep my dog until I was back home. Thanks again Beverly.”
4. Joe & Madeleine G.
“We were really happy with Stella's overnighter with Joe and Madeleine! Stella is a rescue dog and has been skittish and nervous about a lot of things. We were a bit worried about how she would respond to being boarded for a night. Joe and Madeleine, along with their friendly dog and cat, put Stella right at ease. We are really grateful and hope to get help from Joe and Madeleine again when we take a vacation. Thank-you (and your wonderful dog & cat) so much!”
5. Joseph O.
“Bella had a great stay with Joe and Dodge! She immediately seemed right at home and happy/content while she was there. She can't wait to go back for another visit!”
6. Theresa & Adrian B.
“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”
7. Allesha B.
“Very pleased with Allesha. She send a lot of pictures. Would be better if videos are a bit longer. Great service and my dog loved her dogs and cats.”
8. Steven S.
“First Rover in the Detroit area and Steven didn’t disappoint. He’s very responsive, super kind and I felt like my pup was very safe. She came home in great spirits and definitely had fun. Will easily use Steven again!”
9. Sampaguita J.
“Sam and her family we’re great! I received updates and pictures of my pups and they came back exhausted from all the playing and love. My youngest dog didn’t want to leave ?.”
10. Tara R.
“I am so pleased with the care Tara gave my pup Tegan while I was away. I got frequent updates by text as well as with pictures and videos. She was also quick to respond when I had a question. That really helps me put my mind at ease. I hope Tara is available next time Tegan can’t come with me when I am out of town. 6/5 stars!!! Thank you again so much!!! I truly appreciate it and I know Tegan did too:)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18 years old. I’m a dog lover with a dog myself so I think I’m perfect for the job! I’m available all the time. I do work part time and I sometimes go out of town but otherwise I am free when you need me! I live in an apartment with a lot of grass area and multiple dog parks! I also have a dog bed for the puppies that stay!

“Pattie was amazing and truly heaven sent. She was wonderful with my pup and treated her like her own. Pattie also sent us updates frequently and just made it very comfortable for us. I suffer from somewhat separation anxiety when we leave town for vacations and leave my pup. Pups are like your children and Pattie treated her as such! Pattie made this experience very pleasant and my pup loved her. I will be booking with Pattie again!”
