Pet Sitting Detroit Shoreway

About: Labs have been in my life since I was born, but I got my kitten at age 6, so I'll say that's when my real pet care experience began! Animals are such a significant part of my life that I got my bachelor's degree in zoology. I've practiced dairy goat husbandry, studied monkeys in the Surinamese rainforest, and worked as an animal keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Not only do I understand how to care for animals, but I'm a truly playful and active person. There's nothing better than romping around outside with a pup and wearing one another out! That being said, I helped care for my family dog Farrah in her senior years and during that time we shared some of the most tender and mellow moments. If my admiration of pets isn't yet clear, I also paint pet portraits and you can see some in my profile photos. I’m a morning person, up with the sun, so early walks and check-ins are no problem! I also have a hybrid work schedule, which supports my flexibility around pet care. Pets are family members and the magnitude of trust put towards a petsitter is not something I take for granted. I care deeply about helping my clients feel at ease when I'm caring for their beloved pets. I'm meticulous and detail-oriented in everything I do, and that translates to following pet care directions and routines to a T. I'm open to talking through all of your needs and concerns to help make the experience excellent for all involved.

About: Hiiii, my name is Gianna! I live in Gordon/Ohio city area. I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important routines are and will always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions closely. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a large fenced-in yard with a privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run and play. I also have a friendly dog who enjoys company and helps visiting pets feel comfortable. My home has no carpet (just a few rugs), so accidents are never a big issue, and I always keep a clean, pet-safe environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and provide regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Awesome job with my furry troublemakers! Were very communicative leading up to and during the booked time. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs their furballs looked after.”

“Jules took excellent care of our cats over the holidays! It is clear that cats are very comfortable with her. She is flexible with her schedule and was accommodating for a last minute request. We will be using her for our future cat sitting needs.”

About: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!

“James was so helpful being available on short notice. He took great care of our cats and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely book with James again.”

“Very respectful and great communication! I live in a downtown apartment so there was a little more coordination required but it was very smooth having Jackie as a pet sitter! My two cats loved her and we look forward to having her again as a sitter in the future.”

Kobe O.

“Wow, I can't say enough great things about Jessica. Jessica absolutely saved the day while we were traveling abroad and had last-minute issues with another sitter. We were really worried about our pets and Jessica was able to check in immediately on our two cats to make sure everything was okay. Knowing she was there to take care of our two fur babies gave us great peace of mind while traveling and we'll definitely be reaching out again in the future for her help. :)”

“Ellen was responsibly and easy to communicate with. She arrived on time and sent us nice photos of Misty playing. All seemed to go as expected.”

About: Hi! I'm excited to offer dependable, loving pet care through Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have my own pup, Charlie, who has taught me firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for Charlie has given me daily experience with walks, playtime, routines, and understanding the unique personalities that make every dog special. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, simply some extra attention while you're away, my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide personalized care that keeps them happy and stress-free. Services may include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, potty breaks, belly rubs, and plenty of companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets. I respect your space, follow instructions carefully, and work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply needs a familiar face during the day, I'm committed to providing reliable and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and building a lasting relationship based on trust, communication, and exceptional care. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for walks after work and have more flexibility on weekends for extra time with pets. I will follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to their needs, keep their space clean and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away.

“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”

About: We’re katie and ralph 👋 we love animals and would be honored to take care of your furry friend! Our families grew up with cats, but later in life we became a dog family! We love all animals and would be happy to take care of any family’s pet. We have a dog of our own and have used Rover for overnights so we know how it feels to leave your pet with someone new. We have watched friends and family’s dogs for many years, big and small! We share the responsibilities of taking care of our dog and our visitors so you might interact with one or both of us, depending on our schedule. Ralph recently decided to leave his job to explore a new career so we’re wide open for scheduling! Happy to accommodate any scheduling needs. 😀 We have a ton of experience with crate training and e-collar training if that’s needed. Happy to administer any medication and follow any special diet needs.

“Shandra was fantastic. She did a wonderful job checking on our cats for us and giving nice updates. It’s the best Rover experience that we have had. We plan to work with Shandra next time we’re out of town.”

“Erin was wonderful! We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat and have been anxious about leaving the house. Erin came and met our cat ahead of time to learn his needs and was very thorough to make sure that she could take care of our sweet boy. We felt confident in her ability to administer an insulin injection to our cat, and our two other skittish cats even came out for her! She sent plenty of photos of the babies, was prompt with her arrival, and actively communicated with us leading up to and during her visit. We will absolutely book with Erin again and will recommend her to friends and family.”
