“Callie was AWESOME!! What a treat to have someone spend so much time and care with my furry family member. It allowed me to not worry and know that Sam (and all of her needs) were being taken care of. Thank you, Callie! Really appreciate you!!”

“I've been a repeat client of Randi's for some time now. She is always great with my three cats, and they are well-taken care of and happy when I return home. Thank you Randi!”

“Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.”

“Sinan was wonderful with my puppy, Rosie! He was communicative, friendly, and clearly great with young dogs. He was also incredibly accommodating when my errands ran later than expected, which I truly appreciated. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐶✨”

“We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!”

“I’ve lost track of how many times Lukis has watched my kitties. Lukis is incredibly reliable - always providing poetic updates with hilarious photos for my peace of mind. My home is always in perfect order when I return and my cats are happy, healthy, and loved. I know that whenever I leave town, I can count on Lukis to take care of my fur babies. Thanks Lukis (:”

“Ariel is hands down the best sitter I’ve booked with in my two years and two cities on Rover! She is so kind, communicative, and sent the best pictures and updates while we were traveling over the holidays. She really put me at ease knowing our kitty was in great hands. 10/10 would definitely book with her again :)”


“Jeannette did a great job taking care of our cat! She is not only an awesome caretaker but also an awesome pet photographer! Appreciated the updates - and the treats she brought along for our cat!”

“Breanna really cared about our elderly cat so he was well cared for. She administered his medication on time and accurately. I will definitely book her for future trips!”

“Karen was great!! She was recommended to me when my original sitter wasn’t available and I’m so happy she was. She spent extra time with my kittens to make sure they were happy and cared for in my absence. Definitely recommend!”

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.
“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”

About: For 15 years, I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of life. Everything from boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, chronic care, and senior routines. Those years have taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel safe. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s needs and keep things consistent. **My calendar and availability will be updated weekly on Mondays.** I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I will stick closely to your routines–meals, walks, meds, and house rules–so your pet’s day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks. (I have my own "Harry Husky Houdini", so I understand an escape artists.) If something seems off, I’ll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we’re in a fully fenced/secure area and you’ve approved it. I tend to communicate often, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease, because as a fellow pet parent, I know how hard it can be to be apart.
“Maheen took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. They seemed to be comfortable with her right away and we really appreciated the cute pictures and thorough updates every visit. We would highly recommend Maheen to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Sage is excellent! Highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is proactive, reliable, professional, and kind. We’re always so grateful when Sage cares for our cat!”

Jeannette is our go-to caregiver for our elderly cat. She puts love and caring into every visit, and I can’t recommend her enough. We don’t worry when we’re gone, and she sends artistic and fun photos and videos so we can see how happy our fur baby is. Highly recommend her! Thank you Jeannette!!

Sinan was wonderful with my puppy, Rosie! He was communicative, friendly, and clearly great with young dogs. He was also incredibly accommodating when my errands ran later than expected, which I truly appreciated. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐶✨

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town!

We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!
