“If we could leave Fig with Mary every single time went away, we would do so in a heartbeat! Mary and her lovely family take the most wonderful care of Fig, they treat her like she’s their own and go above and beyond what we could hope for.”
“I used rover for the first time and was very nervous and apprehensive about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. I chose Kerri because she was so positive and responded quickly. Kerri sent pictures and kept me up to date about my dog and his activities. When I picked him up she was just as friendly and my dog was happy. I would use her again in a heartbeat if I ever need a sitter for my dog.”
“Ling is the best! This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and he had a great time. Ling sent lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely book with her again.”
“All I can say is Rahied is AMAZING!! My 18yr old blind and deaf baby Coco and are beyond blessed to have found him🙏🏾 He was so attentive, sent updates with pictures daily! Caring for a senior dog is very challenging and exhausting but Rahied made this stay so pleasant for my baby. Feed her by hand, let her drink from her bowl by hand, held her when she cried, administered her medication and so much more😫 I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with him, my spirit told me HE was the one & my spirit does NOT LIE! Forever grateful🤞🏾 If you desire compassion, attentive & extra love while being in the care of a sitter, please don't hesitate to book Rahied Hi🫶🏾 If my baby live another season, Rahied is our choice! Thank you again❤️”

“Tara is a fantastic Dog Sitter. It’s the first time my dog is away from here for a long time and she was very happy being at Tara‘s house. I enjoyed getting the photos. She also adjusted to my change in the days that I scheduled to be with her, which is very helpful for me during this time of my surgery”
“Fritz was happy to see me when I picked him up. This was Fritz's first overnight without me. However when we went to the car, Fritz went back to Julie and wanted to go back into her house. She has a nice fenced yard. Fritz seem to get along with Julie's dog and another that stayed or was visiting. Due to the closeness of Julie would gladly use again”
“Devere was simply amazing from start to finish. He was attentive to getting connected with our pup right away. Always updated me daily on everything and even took really nice pictures of my pup for me. If I could give more than 5 stars on this app I would. I highly recommend and suggest Devere he is an awesome host on Rover. I have never left my dog with anyone and he him and my puppy are best buds now for sure.”
“Absolutely great. I was never worried once about my good boy Frankie. She constantly kept me updated, and more importantly he seemed happy and comfortable in her care. I will be back, and urge anyone to book with her!”
“Will surely board here next time I am out town. My dog had a great time at Michelle’s place. Michelle kept me updated with my dog’s activities and also very responsive if I had any questions. Thanks”
“Being our first time using Rover for boarding we were unsure how it would go. Our worries were put to rest by Karen and her care of Ivy. After 9 days she came home and slept almost the whole next day she was so tired from all the play time she got. We got pictures and updates throughout the stay and would bring ivy back for boarding again!”
“DeAndrea was so accommodating and flexible. We had a lot of last minute changes to our pick-up and drop-off times and she took care of us and our boy. She sent us a video documenting all of the fun our Buddy boy had while in her care as well as a sweet note. It was a lovely touch point at the end of his stay. We will absolutely be using their service again in the future and if you have any pets in need of nurturing, I highly recommend DeAndrea.”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I have experience with both large and small dogs. My dog who passed away, a 15-year-old senior Silky Terrier, had dementia, deafness, and other health issues, so I understand the special care senior dogs require. I also have experience caring for energetic puppies and can adapt to dogs of all ages and needs. I am a recent college graduate and am currently working as a substitute teacher. My schedule is very flexible on the days I work as long as your pet needs are communicated to me. I make sure every pet I care for receives plenty of love, attention, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s engaging playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship and comfort, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize their well-being, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi, We are the Thomson family of 5. With a large privacy-fenced yard, your pets will have plenty of space to play safely. I work from home, ensuring someone is always home to care for your fur baby. I take nightly walks, weather permitting. As a retired foster parent, I bring a wealth of love and experience to every pet we care for. If your pet requires special care we are more than equipped to handle that. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Seeing as how I work from home I am always home to care for your pets. We care for pets in our home by providing a safe and spacious environment with a large fenced-in backyard for playtime. With the permission of the owners, we also take pets on walks, weather permitting. Our years of experience fostering pets have given us extensive knowledge of special needs, so if your pet requires extra care, we are more than capable of providing it.
About: This is very easy, I love dogs. All animals really, but I have a soft spot for dogs. I grew up with dogs in the house, but now that I havea small apartment unfortunately I can not own one myself. Id be more than happy to come play, feed, walk and love on your pup. I can take care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. A little about me now. Im 36 years old with some college under my belt. I grew up in the metro detroit area so I know my way around pretty well. I hope that you choose me to take care of your dog, you wont be let down. Thank You very much! I am currently between jobs so I can make anything work with enough notice and communication. Wether it's coming and letting out or feeding I can make it happen I live in an apartment by myself so if I am boarding it's just spending quality time with the animal and taking them for walks. If I'm at the owners home then I would definitely love to go in the backyard and play rather than sit in side.
“Thank you for taking such great care of Coco & Milo! I could see they were happy and comfortable with you, and that means a lot. I really appreciated the updates and pics. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely love to have you watch them again in the future—thank you!”

Dominic A.
“I have known Dominic for a couple of years and have had him over to my house multiple times to hang out. He loves to play with my two cats , Kitty and Chon, with their toys and is always taking cute pictures to send to his girlfriend. He is gentle with the cats and waits for them to come to him. I’d trust him to watch them if I had to go on vacation. Its clear he's an animal lover”
