“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”

“We read great reviews about Nicolle and they were not wrong our mocha baby loved her and she made us feel at peace that Mocha was in good hands. Thank you to Nicole and her family”

“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”

“Mou and Yanling took great care of our senior dogs. I was very nervous to leave my older pups with someone new, but they sent many videos so I knew everyone was doing great.”

“Shivadarshini was great to work with! When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.”

About: 🇺🇲 Detroit My friends call me the "animal whisperer" because I always seem to be rescuing and finding homes for strays. I love animals so much and would treat your pet with the same love and care that I show my own. If I don't have to be somewhere you can find me at home with the pets or out in nature. I love going for walks! I care for pets like they are part of the family. I live in a great neighborhood for walking with two fantastic parks nearby. My cats are friendly and respect the space of other animals. Your pet will get lots of trips outside and all the chin scratches they want.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life. From elderly beagles to pitbulls with no concept of their own size, I love them all! I'm experienced with special needs pets, having personally taken care of pets who are blind and deaf; who have FIV, FeLV and CKD; and who are missing teeth and tail. I am familiar with giving meds orally (both pill and syringe form), taking care of sick pets, and monitoring symptoms. You know what your pet needs, and I always make sure quality care is given in your absence! Please note I will likely use my own handless leash for safety purposes. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs and dogs with prey drives. However, it is crucial that you inform me of any behavior issues beforehand. Owners who are not upfront with behavior issues risk being dropped as clients. If booking times are flexible, please let me know. This helps me book you faster and allows us to start conversations about your pet's needs earlier. Please only book with me when you know what days and times I am needed. Open requests block times in my calendar, so booking in a timely manner is very important. If you would prefer to boom after the meet & greet, that is absolutely okay! Please just let me know upon scheduling the meet and greet. I am currently available mornings, and nights M-F and all day weekends. I typically visit 7-7:45am on weekday mornings and 4-7pm weekday nights. I make visits all day on weekends. I am happy to accommodate specific medication schedules upon request. Starting June 15th, I will be available 7am-9pm all seven days of the week. Starting June 15th, I will be opening slots for clients who wish for their dogs to join me on hikes or long walks (3+ hours) at dog-friendly hiking spots in Michigan. Owners will be charged the housesitting rate, and will be expected to prepare treats, meals, and water for their dogs. If you are interested in reserving a spot or speaking about specifics, please book an overnight stay so we can chat. I aim to respect your home and leave it cleaner than I found it! I'm happy to clean pet bowls, vacuum pet beds, etc. If possible, please provide the name of your home internet and password. This saves time when I am sending you cards, questions, or other updates! For housesitting clients, I aim to send two updates minimum during the morning and afternoon/early evening. If you would prefer to have more or less updates, please let me know!
“We are so thankful to Erika and her family for looking after our Dexter so well! We got daily updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. Erika did an amazing job administering his medicine. It was such a relief to have Dexter in such good hands. Thank you so much!”

“Provided great care to our Boston terrier who has separation anxiety. Replied very quick and was flexible with pick up/drop off times which was so helpful! Would book again for sure! :)”


“Jack was a great dog sitter! I contacted him a few days before our trip and he was able to accommodate Kona quickly. Even with the not so great weather, he took Kona out on walks and let him run around in some local woods. We felt like he was in good hands with Jack and will use him again in the future if we need too. Thanks Jack & Rover!”

“Renee took absolutely outstanding care of our golden retriever, Charlie, while we were on vacation. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands. She treated Charlie like her own—making sure he was well-exercised, well-fed, and showered with attention and affection. Renee kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant the world to us while we were away. It was clear from Charlie’s happy demeanor when we returned that he had been loved and cared for every single day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Renee to anyone looking for truly exceptional pet care.”

About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my whole life. My first job was a dog walking service around my neighborhood growing up! My boyfriend and I have attended many dog training seminars when he was looking into getting a puppy, and I learned lots from them! I currently work part-time, only about 3-4 times a week for a maximum of 5-6 hours at a time. The shifts vary throughout the week, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I have a backyard with grass. I have 2 small cats who are very dog friendly, and have lived with a dog in the past for 2 years! If your fur baby isn’t much of a cat person, my cats have a very large basement which is basically their home anyways, and would have no problem staying down there while I care for your baby for a little bit:)
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone, so I was a bit nervous. But Kerri was excellent and took great care of my Ace. I could tell he was happy being with her. Kerri gave me a daily update with photos and I really appreciated that. I will definitely rebook and recommend her for future services. She was great 👍🏾 🐕”

“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”

“Evelyn was very communicative through my dog stay and kept me updated on his state with pictures and texts. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with her and I will definitely be keeping my dog with her again.”

Lasya and her family took great care of Posey! Posey liked them right away when they first met. They sent us many photos and videos during the stay, and it was clear that they spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her happy. We really appreciated the care, updates, and attention they gave her. We would definitely recommend them!

Omg (Z) was the best. This was my first time having to leave my son with a stranger. She treated him like her son, she walked him daily, sent pictures, she communicated properly, she let me know how he was reacting to the environment. Overall at 10 plus. I have found my new sitter. Thank you Z you’re great.

Mitchell always has a great attitude and energy coming back from stays with Jess, meaning he had a great stay =). Jess continued to meet the high expectations she sets for herself ever since Mitchell's first visit. We will continue to seek out her services when needed!

Carson was so great to my Jackson. He took great care of him and made him feel right at home. Carson sent great communications before and while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with Carson and will be so happy if he is able to keep him any time I need to be away.

5/5, 10/10, A+ care from Aaria! I had boarded my 7 year old anxious rescue with her and she was extremely accommodating and even on a shorter notice. He was very comfortable with her and at her place, she also kept up great communication while I was out of town. I will absolutely be going back to her if I need care for him again! I can’t recommend enough, she provided such great care for my dog! :) Thank you agaiN Aaria!
