About: My name is Ariel! I’m an attentive and responsible pet lover residing in Corktown. I am a registered nurse with an extremely flexible schedule. I have 3 years of experience with many happy, repeating Rover clients. My clients and their pets mean a lot to me! My goal is to put your mind at ease while you’re away, and treat your pets like they are my own. Please don’t hesitate to provide me with any and all detailed requests for your furry friends! My full-time job as a registered nurse means my schedule changes weekly. I have a lot of flexibility, and can usually accommodate irregular schedules. Feel free to message me and work out plan that best fits you and your pets’ needs. I’m more than happy to be accommodating to your special requests - don’t be afraid to ask! I’m patient and willing to take the extra time to work with slower senior pets as well as rambunctious young pets that may need a little more direction.

About: I am a proud momma to an American pit bull terrier named Rivie, who is the ULTIMATE rescue. We found him abandoned in a boat yard, and have spent the time gaining his trust to turn him into a trusting and loveable puppy. PLEASE NOTE: whenever walking, Rivie will NOT be present. I am comfortable with large breeds and have experience in administering medications. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am fully remote, so I have full flexibility for lots of walks and quality time! I always make sure to start and end my days with enriching activities (longer walks by the lake, new paths to sniff) in order to keep walks during the work day to a half hour every 2 hours I am all good with pets on furniture, but if your pet is trained to stay off of furniture, I will be sure to reinforce that at my home as well. I live in a very quiet building, and have a balcony that my own pup loves to sunbathe on

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 15. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and turtles, both as my own pets and for others. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away and can send lots of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved! My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and extended stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality and boundaries and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I’ve had multiple years of experience with senior dogs, pets needing help with medication, or energetic pets requiring lots of play. I have two cats myself. I’m a musician with a flexible schedule so I can make time whenever they need me. Happy to do over nights or pop in visits. Ive found it best to try to keep animals routines and schedules as regular as possible from what they’re used to to minimize their stress.

About: I have been taking care of pets almost my whole life. I have watched as little as a kitten to as big as a 120lb dog. I don’t currently have a job so I am almost always available. Some weekends I might be away but very rarely. I will almost always make time to watch your pets I have a fenced in backyard for dogs. I like to spend as much time as possible with my pets. My pets are very friendly.

“Aaria was great with Potato! That is saying something because he can be a piece of work, and always try to get away with pulling and refusing to walk with a new walker. She's been very responsive and professional as we set up a few services / stays for the coming weeks. Looking forward to having Potato with her more!”

“Rae (Jillian) is awesome! They come through when you need someone in a pinch or at the last minute, which is extremely helpful if your schedule is all over the place like mine.”

About: I’ve cared for pets through friends, family, and neighbors, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pets with patience, care, and respect. I’m currently seeking employment while continuing my work as a filmmaker, so my schedule is flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, with availability depending on the booking. I provide attentive and reliable care in your pet’s own home and neighborhood. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for during every visit.

About: Starting at age 15, my path to animal care began not only with taking care of family pets but also gradually walking for the local senior housing in my neighborhood. From walks to helping owners administer the less-than-fun medicine, I look forward to helping animals in any way I can. Big lovable Rottweilers to tiny kittens, I’ve cared for them all. I work a 9–5 clerical job, so I have a pretty consistent routine and enjoy having something fun to look forward to outside of work! I like to stay active, whether that’s going for a walk, getting some fresh air, or just getting out of the house. I’d love to have your pet be part of that routine while they’re with me. Whether they’re up for an adventure or prefer to hang out and relax, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day. Whether housing your furry baby in my home, yours or out on a walk, I try to be cautious to keep our environment safe and fun! While on location in other homes I respect privacy and follow any set house rules you have for your animal or me. If we are out and about on a walk I have animals leashed at all times and stay cautious of other animals, and can provide AirTag tracking to make owners feel more at ease.

About: I am a long time animal lover with a large verity of pet care experience! I’ve looked after Yorkies, Great Danes and everything in between, owned both dogs and cats of my own (currently have 3 cats), and have been walking, sitting and fostering dogs since I was a teenager. Been through training courses with dogs so I’m familiar with training practices and I’ve also cared for pets that were sick or injured, administered medicine and cared for wounds. I love both cats and dogs and have always been great with all pets!! I’d love to meet your furry friends and help out! My schedule is pretty flexible, I just work some evenings. I’m here to help & to support my small creative business and make ends meet, I am so excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your pets! As a caretaker for your pets I am more than happy to come to your home and visit them in the comfort of their own space! I will always be tidy and respectful. I’m happy to walk, play, feed, groom or whatever your pets needs are!

About: it's truly my pleasure to take care of fur babies for wonderful humans. I can't personally have pets right now, so it's so appreciated to be able to stop in & take care of someone else's. I love exploring & sitting for those who live near my home neighborhood in Detroit, as well as taking care of folks' pets in metro Detroit. I'd love to be your regular sitter -- let's get to know each other ! I'm a small business owner who creates her own schedule, so I'm flexible to your needs & love to take breaks in my day to stop & take care of your fur babies. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pet, with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog’s routine is there for a reason, and I stick to it. Feeding schedules, rest time, the way they like their walk to end, I pay attention to the details you share and follow through on them. Consistency is what keeps pets calm when their person isn’t home, and I take that seriously. I’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. No news isn’t always good news, I’d rather you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My own space is calm and pet-free, so when I’m with your dog, my full attention is on them. No competing animals or chaos, but a quiet, lowkey presence that lets anxious or sensitive dogs settle in comfortably. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays happy, and you stay informed. That’s the standard I hold myself to every visit.

“Katie has walked my dog Theo multiple times and always sends photos and fills up his water and food bowl before she leaves! 10/10 recommend her to walk or take care of your fur babies!”

“Valerie has been a fantastic dog walker for my pug, Steve. Communication has been super easy, she always leaves great notes (feedback and pictures) and brings lots of positive energy. Steve has been a very happy boy to have another friend to play with. Very highly recommended!”
