“Great experience! Alyssa took care of our two kittens while we were out of town for a couple of days and everything went smoothly. Both kittens seemed extremely happy and the updates were great.”

About: Hello! My name’s Martin, and I’m a Dexter local looking to spend some more time with animals while finishing up my degree at Eastern Michigan. I am also a barista at a cafe on the Northside!! I grew up with both dogs and cats, a chocolate lab named Khloe, a yorkie named Jack, and Gucci the cat. I love spending time with pets all sizes and ages, and would love to get to know you and yours. Please reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting you! I’m currently working part time as a barista in Ann Arbor MI. I am available in the early mornings and afternoons after 3/4! My favorite past times are going on long walks and writing! Being able to incorporate animals into my walks and spending quality time with them relaxing.

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, helping raise them, two from when they were puppies. I have experience with all types of dogs, varying from sizes and behaviors, yet my care remains steady regardless of breed. I’m a recent college graduate with an open schedule, so I’m available all week most times of day to allow for more flexibility to care for your pets! I’m flexible when it comes to care for your dogs, with experience regarding crates, foods and diets, and outside time. Whatever I can do to accommodate you and your pet, I’m happy to do it!

“Courtney is the best! She always takes the best care of my cat. I have been traveling a lot recently and knowing my pet is in the best hands is one less thing to worry about.”

“Melissa was absolutely fantastic with our Great Pyrenees! She was prompt, professional, and provided reports and photos after each visit. It was a relief to know our big boy was well taken care of while we were out of town for the weekend. Highly recommend!”
About: Our family has had many pets over the past 45 years; horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs. My love and care for animals is abundant! I’m retired, flexible, and available 7 days a week during the day or evening. I also may be available on holidays depending on family plans. I would care for your pet in your home according to your detailed instructions. The safety of your pet and developing a trusting relationship with you pet are both very important to me.
“Meaghan was amazing! She did such a wonderful job with my dog Arlo, was so friendly and courteous and gave amazing updates! She was very accommodating and super professional. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was very young. I’ve always grown up with a pet living in our home which has given me the opportunity to gain much experience with how to care for different animals. I currently have two lab retrievers! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! :) I am currently taking classes at WCC which is what I spend a majority of my time on. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can figure something out! I make sure to take in any information given to me by my clients to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I will be sure to pay close attention to the pets and make sure that they are properly cared for!
“Alexis did an amazing job with our pups for a long sit. They were so happy with her and her care for them was exceptional. Alexis was very communicative and flexible throughout the stay. I would absolutely have her petsit again.”
“Laura (Mengdongxue) is an incredibly kind, warm, and thoughtful cat-sitter! I'm so grateful for how well she cared for my cat – my cat absolutely loved her. I really appreciated Laura's open communication and all the cute photos she shared.”

About: Hi! I have been fostering dogs for shelters and rescues over the past 5 years. I previously lived in NYC, where I fostered 7 dogs through local shelters and rescue organizations. After relocating to Ann Arbor, I became a foster with Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit (FAMD). All of my foster dogs have successfully found loving forever homes. I have experience caring for adult dogs of all sizes and personalities. Spending time with dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me, and I truly enjoy providing them with a safe and loving environment. I am currently working as a part-time piano teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule. I am available on most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends I live in a quiet apartment with a calm environment. The community is very dog-friendly and has plenty of green space for walks and outdoor time. I believe every dog has different needs and personalities, so I would love to communicate with you as much as possible to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level. I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed. I am also happy to travel to your home and care for your furry friend there if that would be the best and most comfortable option for them.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family.

I also provide attentive care for cats, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I believe communication is important, so you can expect regular photo and message updates for extra peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I make my own schedule and work part time remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and house sitting, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and scheduling needs whenever possible. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and stress free while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel secure and relaxed in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or hosting in a dedicated space in my home in the future, I prioritize cleanliness, patience, safety, and communication at all times. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated with kindness, attention, and genuine care.
About: I grew up owning and taking care of pets (cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and more) and have taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors on and off for over 20 years. I work in tech and have a flexible schedule to ensure your pet's needs are met throughout the day. As a mom, I am used to waking up early or even in the middle of the night as needed. I live in a large house with no other pets (besides fish). My three children are very comfortable around animals. I also live on a preserve, which is perfect for long nature walks with a dog!
Dexter pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sumonthip did a wonderful job of taking care of Byxie. She has a great deal of experience working with dogs and cats when she worked at a veterinary clinic. She was very patient with Byxie and knew how to handle her if Byxie got too excited to see her and tried to jump on her. Please give Sumonthip a $7.00 tip.
