“Alexandra was amazing, and I would definitely love to have her sit for my cats again. She bonded with them right away, even my shy little girl cat, who is usually intensely shy around strangers. She was very conscientious and sent me a lot of pics and gave me updates so that I always had peace of mind, especially about my older special needs cat. She was very kind and flexible when I realized I needed an extra day of house sitting, and even left a gift for my cats and me when she left. I'm very impressed and grateful and would highly recommend her.”
“Alex stayed at our home and watched our two puppies while we went on vacation for a week. I’ve always had my parents watch them since them so I was worried about finding someone, until I met Alex. She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my babies. I can tell they were spoiled with love while we were gone. We will be using her for all future trips!”
About: Hi! I’m Abby, a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I currently share my home with two sweet rescue cats I adopted in 2020. I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life and understand how unique and particular they can be. In 2024, I spent six months volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, and I grew up with a wonderful family dog who sparked my love for dogs. Whether we’re out for a walk or I’m stopping by to check in, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m available full time and happy to follow your routines, send plenty of photo updates, and keep your pets happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to hear from you! I’m leaving my current job in retail so I’m available full time to take care of your sweet kitty or pup! I’m available for walks, overnights and drop ins. I currently have two sweet cats I rescued in 2020 that are 4 and 5 who are my whole world. I will take care of your kitty/puppers just like they are my own.
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two beagles! She came over for a meet and greet and they immediately loved her. We had such a busy day that we couldn’t focus on our pups during, and Jennifer gave us peace of mind and a lot of photos and updates! She was on time, professional, kind, and a great pup-sitter. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you want your dogs to be in good hands for a stress free time away! :)”
“Chester and Avi had a great time with Rohit! Chester enjoyed his walks and Avi loved getting pets from Rohit. He kept us posted on their status by sending plenty of photos and videos. We would love for him to watch our pets again.”
“Jennifer was great. She's a new friend to my bulldog and great dane and they were excited for walkies and an overnight cuddle party. Jennifer was very communicative and kept us updated on events. Recommended and thank you!”
“Kimberly has such a genuine love for animals and is one of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve met on Rover. While I was away, she sent me lots of updates and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Chester clearly had a great time with her and was so well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter highly, highly recommend!”
“Breanna is a gem! We've had her stay overnight at our home to be with our dog, Bear on a few occasions. She is incredibly responsible, thorough, and reliable. She had to deal with some challenging GI issues with Bear on one of her stays and handled it as if it were her own dog and house. She even cared for our grumpy cockatiel with ease! I would recommend Breanna without reservation.”
“Elizabeth watched our dogs for an entire weekend while we were away in our house. She was very respectful to our house and treated our dogs with kindness and respect. Will definitely rebook.”
“Nick was great! He sent a number of updates and a few pictures, which was really helpful. I always want to know that our sweet Mischa is being taken care of, and I have no question that Nick did a great job. And as an added bonus, he left the house even neater than he found it!”
“Megan is amazing!! She stayed with our 14yr old for several nights in our home and took exceptional care of everything! She was always super responsive and sent pictures every day :) We would happily have her come again!!”
“This was our first time having Rachel stay with Lucy and she was absolutely wonderful. Very communicative and responsive, took great care of Lucy and sent me updates while I was gone. I will absolutely be requesting her again in the future and highly recommend her service!”
“Molly stayed with my pup for five days while I was out of town. She was attentive, communicative with me every day, responsible, knowledgeable, and fun! I'll definitely be reaching out for future care. Oshie and I give two thumbs and four paws way up! Thanks, Molly🙂”
About: I love animals of all kinds...cats, dogs, horses, lizards, reptiles. I grew up around large dog breeds and spent my childhood taking horseback riding lessons and playing in frog hollers. Now I have a cat of my own and would love to spend my summers off helping you with pet care, too. As a teacher, it is a joy to have summers off, and so much of my week has lots of leisurely free time. I'm available most weekdays until around 7pm. During the school year, I'd love to end my work day taking your furry friend out for a walk or stopping by to check in on them! Growing up around large dog breeds my whole life, I'm comfortable with dogs of all kinds. With a family member who works in vet medicine, I have some knowledge of pet care and pet health; including training, grooming, and dog-walking safety, and understanding pet behaviors. I also have previous experience pet sitting for friends and family, including varying feeding times and administering medications to pets. Pet safety has always been very important to me, so I always make sure my pets' vaccines are up to date, and I never let my cat out to roam outside. Dogs are always leashed, unless they are in their own private yard. I be sure to look out for other pets and animals while out to make sure everyone stays safe. I'm now so lucky to have a cat of my own who rules the house, loving all the attention in the world from her mom and dad. She loves treats and pets, and bird watching from the window. While my space is quite small for any boarding, I'd love to help you care for your furry friend by taking them on walks or helping out at home while you're away. Of course, with lots of treats to share!
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.
