“We had a great experience with Lisa and family, caring, reliable, and easy to work with. The dogs seemed to love them which gave us peace of mind. I really appreciated the pick-up and drop-off service, which made things so much more convenient. I would definitely trust her again and won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“Lasya and her husband took such great care of my dog Yuri. I felt at ease leaving my fur baby in their care. They consistently sent pictures and videos of Yuri during her stay. It was nice that she felt loved and cared for and even made friends there during her stay. I recommend Lasya and her husband for your future needs with dog boarding”
“This was my first time boarding my dog, so I was a little nervous going into it—but Steven made the entire experience so smooth and comforting. From the very beginning, he was amazing with communication and kept me updated the whole time with messages and pictures of Sir, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear that Steven genuinely cared and took great care of my dog. Sir looked so happy and comfortable in every photo, and I could tell he was having a great time during his stay. I’m so grateful for how kind, professional, and attentive Steven was. He made us feel completely at ease, and Sir truly enjoyed his first boarding experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again—highly recommend!”

“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.”

My rating is Top Notch. Thank you Vanessa”

About: I’ve been a groomers assistant and bather at a grooming shop and doggie daycare for a few years in past and I have access to a dog bathing suite for $15 for the use and $25 per dog. Blow drying those furry friends coats out! :) I’ve been dog and house sitting for years and I have had a few dogs of my own. I get excited to see every dog and cat I meet, they really make my day. If you’re out of my walking radius and still would like me to care for your pets you can provide transportation fees then I’d be happy to accept the jobs if I’m available that are last minute when you can’t find someone else. This is my only job, caring for pets now. I have worked for over 30 years and I have found pet sitting to be the best retirement gig for my wellbeing. So I’m available quite a bit. I can walk dogs or do house visits for either cats or dogs. I can help with training if you have rules or something you’d like me to help with for your pets. I can also pick up an item you may need from premier pet shop.

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!
Díana was so helpful with a last minute, first time booking for my dog and cat. She is friendly, responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure pets, and their owners are very comfortable. She sent the sweetest photos and updates. We really appreciate her flexibility and great communication. Would definitely book again!
Whitney and Samuel were excellent. Our 2-year-old rescue has had some separation anxiety issues with sitters in the past, but from the first night, she felt right at home. It was nice to receive updates from Whitney and Samuel, showing our pup relaxing around the house and even forming a connection with their kids. Leaving a high-energy dog with strangers is always an additional travel stressor, but we felt confident to enjoy our trip! They were also very accommodating with a pick-up and drop off which was great as we had some travel delays. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
Miranda & Cameron we're amazing sitters! They were so accommodating with my change in schedule. Athena was so well cared for while I was away and they always kept my worries at bay with updates ( first time being away from us). Very happy with everything overall :)
Madrona was everything a dog momma could ask for! She was very attentive to banjo and what he needed and banjo come back to me after the 4 days boarding super happy and tired. She communicated with me as much as I wanted and I never worried how banjo was doing. Would definitely book again! People tend to thing my big baby is scary but not Madrona she fell in love with him just as much as i did and made me feel super comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! If you’re in the Detroit area please go to Madrona for all your dog sitting needs!
Raeshawn went above and beyond especially with some crazy requests we had to help watch our dog during our wedding weekend. Would absolutely work with her again, she was awesome and kept us well up to date on how our dog was doing throughout the weekend. Highly recommend!
