Family and friends have relied on me to dog sit and help with walks for years My background in psychology and understanding of behavior shapes my approach to animal care. I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, consistency, and creating an environment where animals feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. 🐶 A Little Something Special for Every Pup Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, leisurely sniff walks, energetic playtime, enrichment activities, or simply curling up for some extra affection, I tailor their experience to their individual personality and routine.

My goal is to offer more than traditional pet sitting—it’s a warm, enriching experience where your dog receives individualized attention, meaningful engagement, and the comforts of home. From playful puppies to mellow companions, big paws to little paws, every guest deserves to feel special. Because your dog isn’t just a pet. They’re family—and that’s exactly how they’ll be treated here! I work part time from home. I can adapt to your needs and routines! I like to learn what your pet expects and make it as consistent as possible. I have a large yard. We have a bernedoodle who is very friendly. If your dog is staying for the day, there is an option to keep them separate if needed. However he loves to play with new dogs!

She took great care of our house too. Everything was exactly as we left it when we got back. Communication was easy and reliable throughout the stay. I highly recommend booking with Molly. She will take great care of your pets and your home.”

About: Dogs have always been an essential part of my life, and I'm lucky to have two sidekicks of my own - a senior dog and a tripod. They've taught me a lot about being patient, paying attention to what each dog needs, and making sure they are comfortable and cared for. I'm also confident giving medications and caring for senior dogs who need a little extra attention. My dogs are definitely my adventure buddies! We regularly run, hike, travel, and backpack together, so I'm happy to keep up with an active pup (including runs!) or spend a quiet afternoon hanging out and giving a lot of snuggles. I'm also a teacher with 20 years of experience, so I'm responsible, patient, organized, and very used to caring for other people's most important things. I am First Aid and CPR certified (for both humans and pups). I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away! I'm currently working remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for all your pup's needs! I'm used to building my days around walks and feedings. I'm also active and spend a lot of time walking and running, so I enjoy keeping up with active pets, as well as those who prefer a slower pace. I'm happy to work a pet's normal routine into my day, whether that means a morning walk, midday potty break, medication, or simply cuddles and company. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I treat them like my own! I'm careful about doors, gates, and other safety concerns. I follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and exercise schedules, and give plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I will also keep you updated with lots of photos so that you can relax and know that your fur babies are in good hands!

About: ’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. While this is my first time offering pet care on Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and flexible with my schedule. I’m especially good with cats and enjoy giving them the patience and attention they need, but I’m also happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and general pet care. I’m a college student here in Ann Arbor so my main time commitment is classes, but I’m very flexible outside of this time. I have Fridays and weekends open, as well as some mornings and evening throughout the week. I keep pets safe and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention. In your home, I treat your pets like my own and make sure everything is left just as I found it.

About: Hello! I love dogs! I’ve had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years. Since my most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for me to watch peoples dogs. I’ve volunteered at the Huron Valley Humane Society. Completed dog walking training, blue dot training and problem dog not allowed out with the general public yet training. If you want your dog not only watched but showered with love, I’m a great choice. I work from home, so have great flexibility. Having a schedule that fits your dogs shouldn’t be a problem. Hope you find what you are looking for. Your dog will be showered with love. Happy to have them sleep in the same bed if they are allowed. I love making dogs feel special.

“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born. Big, small, medium and super tiny! I have always trained my own dogs and taught some friends new tricks also! I do all my own maintenance on them as well. It’s not easy, but I’m pretty confident in my abilities. I have had dogs stay with me for a night up to a week at a time. I also go to others’ houses for play dates, walks or just to get out of the crate, potty and run around for a bit. I have a true love for dogs and I would love to help care for yours also! I’m a part time worker now but most of my weekend and afternoons are open. I would love to come visit with your dog(s) to play, feed or take for walks. I have a fenced in yard at home with the exception of the driveway. They do stay in their yard though. We travel up north a few times a year and they are either on leads or free roaming up there.

“Amazing! This was a long trip with family and we were so relaxed knowing Kateri was watching Teddy. She sent updates, videos, and pictures a few times a day! Shes so kind and knows how to make Teddy feel comfortable. And she follows his lead as needed which I know helps his anxious feelings when we are away!”

About: I am a licensed veterinary nurse that lives in Ann Arbor and works full time in a specialty hospital. I have 10 years of experience working in veterinary medicine and have owned cats and dogs my whole life! I have fostered over 50 dogs and love all dogs and cats regardless of breed, size, temperament, health conditions - nothing will scare me away! I can medicate cats and dogs, exercise them how they please, I can stay on top of potty training, and I am capable of the high maintenance care some of our senior pets require. *must be a smoke-free home for overnight stays I work Tuesday through Friday 8am-6pm and I can come home on my lunch break if needed and if your home is within 15 minutes of my work place. I have been on the other side of Rover before, so I understand how stressful it is to find the right sitter and how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with your fur baby! I will care for and love your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all house rules (no dogs on the furniture,etc) and respect your home as if it is my own. I can assure you that you will come home to the way you left it. I will never leave your pet for longer than I have to (when I am at my full time job) and will honor the schedule we agree on. I will always send photo updates if you please! I hope it gives you peace of mind leaving your pet with me given my background and career!

About: I have 6 years of experience walking dogs and providing occasional pet-sitting care. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet-sitting while giving each pet the care and attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care during evenings, early mornings, weekends, and select daytime hours depending on my schedule. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each owner's instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for.

About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….

“Felicity did a wonderful job for us. She was excellent with our high energy dog and totally reliable and responsible with us. She is totally topnotch.”
