“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”


“Gwenyth was very patient and kind with our baby. She gave us many updates with pictures of him. She was kind enough to give us the time of a meet and greet prior to our booking. We sincerely appreciated her taking care of our Zorro. Thank you!”



“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


About: I’m thrilled to offer you a range of personal services designed to make your life easier and more convenient. Whether you need someone to take care of your house or pets while you're away, help with grocery or personal shopping, or simply pick up your mail, I’ve got you covered. As a dedicated professional, I’m here to provide top-notch service and ensure your needs are met with care and attention to detail. So sit back, relax, and let me take care of the rest! I currently work full-time for the local school board where I work with students who have a variety of special needs and challenging behaviors!

While in your home, I keep things clean and tidy, water plants/gardens, pick up mail and packages and provide security in knowing everything is well taken care of

“Repeat customer with Olivia. She does a great job taking care of my cat and the house (watering plants, receiving packages and mails, etc). I was regularly informed about how my cat was doing. House was all cleaned up on my return. Highly recommended!”


“This was my first time using Rover and I was admittedly pretty nervous. Loryn made everything so easy and calmed any nerves I had. My dog is pretty high energy, anxious and requires a lot of attention. Loryn took it all in stride and made it seem like no big deal at all. She kept me updated the entire week and sent pictures and videos and left my house in great shape. I will not hesitate to book her again.”


“Liz was so sweet, personable, and attentive. Liz fed my dog, took her for a walk, and even sat on the floor with my dog to ease her anxiety. If you ever need a dog sitter in the Detroit area, I highly recommend Liz!”


“Ashton is a phenomenal, caring pet sitter. She’s trustworthy, communicative and will care for your pets and home. She watched our 3 cars and dog when we went on a last minute trip over spring break. Delighted she was available and willing to stay in our house for 6 nights/7 days. Home was clean and tidy, she went above and beyond to ensure kitchen was clean, bedding removed from the bed, and the house was locked up. Felt completely safe with her, and know our pets loved her based on the photos she shared daily. Highly recommend!”

“Our second time using Karley as a dog sitter. We couldn’t be happier with the her. Benji can be a stubborn and challenging little guy but Karley seems to know how to handle him. We will reach out to her again in the future. Two thumbs up!!”


“Kayla was awesome. She took great care of our two cats and our house. She’s a good communicator and and kept us informed during her stay. One of our cats requires medication three times a day, and Kayla didn’t flinch at this extra work. We’re grateful for her attentiveness and gladly recommend her without reservation.”


About: I am a former teacher and I love dogs as much as I love kids. Dogs are creatures who need attention, affection and lots of kisses! I live in the heart of downtown Detroit and I enjoy walking my dog several times a day. We go to the doggie parks that are in close proximity to the apartment, and we have a dog park at my apartment complex that’s great for meet and greets with other dogs. I would care for pets in someone else’s home by respecting the area in which the dog is most comfortable meaning changing pee, pee pads, making sure their food and water bowls are full. And I will make sure that their dog is treated as if the owner were at home with lots of belly rubs. I care for my dog in my home the same way I make sure it’s a clean environment a safe environment, where my dog feels comfortable.

“Sage has been so amazing these last few months! My cat is always less stressed when I leave him in her care which makes our vacation so much more comfortable.”
