“Karen was a great help with Luna when I unexpectedly had to leave the dog home alone for a VERY long day. She came over to give her cuddle and pee breaks and a trip to Barkside, Luna’s home away from home. 💕 Even went the extra mile to clean up a little dog mess. Thanks!!!!!”

“Super friendly family. I felt comfortable leaving my dog for the day at their house. They made me feel comfortable by offering to meet up before providing service. Their dog is super friendly which was great company for my puppy.”

“Jessica was amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”

About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a calming, comforting presence your pup can rely on. With patience, affection, and a natural ability to put dogs at ease, I create a stress-free, loving environment that feels like home. I currently work from home with flexible hours so I have plenty of time to spare. My daily routine allows me to manage being available and home to take care of the pups I provide a safe, calm, and dependable environment where pets feel completely secure. I prioritize consistency, gentle handling, and close attention to each pet’s needs, creating a trustworthy space where they can relax, feel understood, and thrive while you’re away.
“Tara was the best! She provided tons of updates throughout the day and kept my hyper pup very tired with walks and rounds of hide & seek, which is his favourite! Along with updates, I got tons of photos which is something I’m always looking forward to.”

About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.
About: I care about their physical health and mental wellbeing and overall happiness which is very important when it comes to pet care and a priority to me I have a flexible schedule so im able to work with anytime thats good for the owner of the pet in case they have work or travel I treat them as if they were my biological child i have a bad habit of babying them i can’t help i love dogs always have since i was 7 years lol
“David Rafael and his wife were wonderful with my boy. They were very tentative and kept me posted all day. Leo is slow to taking but I can tell they became FAST friends. He was gracious with Leo in every capacity. He was easy going about pickup and drop off times. I'll absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Lasya and her family were awesome to work with. We had great communication, she sent photos and texted throughout the day. Our dog, Kuma seemed to have had tons of fun with their dog Simba. Lasya was very kind and patient. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“Our visit with Ashlyn was great! Our pup came home happy and tired, and it looks like he had a blast with Ashlyn's sweet pup. After trying a few others on Rover, I'm happy to say that i finally found someone I feel completely comfortable leaving my pup with.”

About: I've taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families animals anytime they need. I will send you pictures of your animals to set your mind at ease and so you can be sure they are receiving the love and care you would expect from a sitter! I'm currently between Corporate jobs and hoping to develop this long term "side job" with neighbor dogs and cats to help build my community and meet like minded animal lovers! I have a fenced in yard, all the dog toys, and one sweet 1.5 yo pitty boxer mix (good with all dogs, big and little, plays very respectfully) and prioritize safety over everything! Ensuring plenty of water is always available, and that each doggie gets their fair share of treats and pets!
About: Hi! I’m Daniella — a dog lover and active walker based in downtown Detroit. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet couch time, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. My work is flexible so I can give your dog plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes after each walk or visit. I live downtown and have a flexible work schedule so I am easily able to go on walks, runs, or be home whenever it’s planned for. I live in a spacious apartment near capitol park dog park and the river walk. I have a car so I'm happy to host here or go to you.
About: Animals have always been a very big part of our lives, and still are with our beloved senior dog Norman! Tara grew up raising and training a horse to show, as well as caring for her own dogs. Alaine also grew up dogs and cats, and rescued Norman when he was about four years old. We both have flexible jobs that make spending time with pups on Rover easy for us. Tara is a freelancer and Alaine works from home full time. Both of us have experience watching our friend's dogs as well as Rover dogs. We have cared for animals of all ages, all sorts of energy levels, dogs with higher anxiety levels, some who find pulling on a leash their idea of a good time, and senior dogs that need a gentle hand with more naps! Your little (or big) love would be in great and loving care with us! Since Alaine works from home, you can rest assured knowing your dog will get frequent potty breaks, and lots of attention. During their stay, we’ll treat your baby just like our own! They will be able to roam the house, chill on the front porch, or sit in the office with Alaine for the day (the office faces the porch). We welcome your dog on the bed or furniture with us, but we will be sure to follow any rules you have around that, of course. We have a fenced in front and back yard, but we will go on walks too. We typically go for a short 1 mile jog each day, so you pup would be welcome to join us on that if you'd like! We also have experience with picky eaters, pill takers, and senior needs. We will do our best to keep your pup in as much of their routine as possible while in our care so it’ll help cut down on any anxiety of them missing you. Speaking of missing you, we’ll be sure to send lots of photos because we know we love getting them of our baby while away too!
About: Hi, my name is Brandon and I am a first year Masters student studying Biomedical Engineering. Animals have been a part of my life since my earliest memories. I've raised birds, turtles, snakes, iguanas, hamsters, cats and of course dogs. Whether your pup needs hours of fetch and park adventures or gentle walks and medication management, I adapt to their unique needs, diets, and energy level. I work from home and between myself and my girlfriend, it is rare for me to leave my pet alone for more than 1 hr. I have easy access to numerous parks within walking distance including Belle Isle. Your pet will not be starved for attention. My goal is to make your dog’s time with me feel like a happy stay-cation. Expect daily walks, individualized attention, plenty of rest when needed, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands With years of experience across all breeds and temperaments, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I'm here to make that experience stress-free for both you and your dog, providing the reliable, communicative, and loving care they deserve. I welcome questions, meet-and-greets, and will always aim to make you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. Working from home affords me the time and flexibility to give my high maintenance corgi the attention she deserves. She’s rarely alone for more than one hour at a time. The first and most important step in caring for a new dog is to establish trust. As an experienced caregiver, I've learned that patience and compassion form the foundation of developing that all-important bond. Sixx is a great help in this endeavor as she is a very friendly dog and loves making new playmates. My place is fitted with webcams so you can check in on your pet and let them hear your voice. If your dog is crate-trained and finds it easier to adapt to a new environment through this method, I have one that can accommodate most sizes.
“This was a last minute booking which turned from 2-3 hours to 6+ due to an emergency, but Pallavi went above and beyond at taking care of Mylo! Cannot be more appreciative and would 100% recommend! Thank you so much!”

Elmwood Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
We’ve had such a positive experience with Alyssa. She is attentive, kind, and truly cares about Teddy. He was relaxed and content when we picked him up, and we really appreciated the updates and cute photos throughout the day. We feel very comfortable leaving Teddy in her care and would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.

Tajuana was fantastic! She frequently communicated how our pup was, his meals, where they went, and how well they got along. She took him to the dog park, and it made me laugh to see our pup spent most of the time by her side. That is so him. Happy to book with Tajuana again.

It was my first time using the app. I was in Detroit and was nervous about leaving my furry baby with someone I didn't know, but I'm so happy it was Michael. He replied to my messages to check on her and was super nice. He took her for a long walk, which I'm sure she loved, and when I went to get her, I could tell she was well taken care of because she was calm and worn out. Thanks a lot, Michael.

Deepika took very good care of Chili. She was lovely and calm in her interactions with Chili and myself. I was very appreciative of Deepika’s very timely response to my last minute request for an initial booking. She provided updates and pics and responded promptly to my queries throughout the day. Chili obviously had a great day with Deepika and her King Charles Spaniel. She expressed how much she liked Chili and that she would like to host her again. Chili will definitely be visiting Deepika again. Thank you Deepika!

I cannot thank Tammy enough for the amazing care she gave our baby! I was extremely anxious about leaving him at a new home, but she immediately calmed my worries with her kindness and reassurance. She went above and beyond to make him feel at home — even feeding him from the table when he was being picky, letting him snuggle and sleep in her bed, and making sure he had plenty of playtime with her sweet fur babies. I could tell he felt completely safe and loved, and I’m sure he had the best day full of play, cuddles, and comfort. Knowing he was in such loving hands gave me such peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will truly treat your fur baby like their own!

Rafael was amazing with my dog. He took care of him with ease. Rafael also took my dog for walks which was great exercise. Right before picking my dog up. Rafael made sure to take Columbus out so that he can be comfortable on the drive back home. Rafael would constantly update me with what's going on and would also snap pics of my dog enjoying. Thanks again hermano! Gracias para todos
