“Tiffani was on time. She made friends with Coco very quickly and she is an Awesome fur baby sitter! I would highly recommend her to any fur parents!”


4. Alex C.

“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!”


5. Beatrice M.

“Beatrice was perfect at her job, both my cat and I agree! The very best cat sitter I’ve ever had, I came home to a house, perfectly clean and had vacuumed around the litter and everything done perfectly. She sent the most beautiful pictures of my cat, and I could tell he loved being with her and she stayed exactly the time that I asked. I will certainly be using Beatrice again, as I’ve never had anyone better than her, do not hesitate to book her. She is perfection at taking care of cats and such a sweet person! 5 stars all the way :)”

14. Jennifer D.


“Jennifer was great with Kona. We were first time Rover users with a dog that we were slightly nervous of leaving with someone new and she was absolutely fantastic. From the first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and confident in choosing her. She was kind, responsive, and professional. Throughout her stay we remained updated with pictures and came home to a clean house and happy dog. She will be highly recommended by us to all moving forward!”


15. Rachel D.

About: I have been fortunate enough to have owned four dogs of different sizes and breeds throughout my life. My journey as a pet owner started when I was 8 years old with a Bichon, and I took active part in its care. I then had the pleasure of being a mom to a West Highland Terrier for 12 wonderful years. Currently, I am proud to be the owner of a Great Pyrenees and an Australian Shepherd, who are my beloved fur babies. In addition to my dogs, I have also shared my life with four cats, making me a passionate cat lover. As a stay-at-home pet mom, I am committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being. My partner, who is also an animal enthusiast and works as a mail carrier for USPS, is home five days a week. Together, we strive to provide a stable and loving environment for our pets. Our spacious four-bedroom home in a quiet Farmington Hills neighborhood offers the perfect setting for them to thrive. I am happy to provide pet boarding services, and I guarantee that your furry family member will receive the same love and attention as my own pets. My pets are used to interacting with other animals and have never shown any aggressive behavior. Please feel free to bring your pet's favorite bedding, as they are welcome to join our family. As a stay-at-home pet parent, I have the privilege of caring for two dogs, My fiancé and I prefer staying at home, where we spend most of our time. The big yard with the fence is wonderful for letting our dogs out on a regular basis whenever they have the need or just the desire to go out and play. A typical day here would just involve your pet being able to go in and out as they please with supervision. They are also welcome to sleep in our bedroom and up on our bed with us if that’s what they are used to at home. I also have dog buds for my dogs that they usually don’t use and anyone is welcome to sleep in those. My family pets are all about that indoor life, unless they're on a leash or in our fenced backyard. Our Aussie Shepherd is a wanderlust-free zone, but our Great Pyrenees/Poodle mix likes to roam, so we keep a close eye on her. She's got an Apple AirTag just in case, and we make sure she's always leashed up when exploring. Both dogs are pros at walking together, and my 40-pound Aussie Shepherd and 65-pound Great Pyrenees/Poodle mix are a dynamic duo. They're total sweethearts, loving people and animals alike, and I'm happy to introduce them to your furry friends! If you want to ensure your pet has human supervision at all times, just let me know, and we'll make sure to arrange that. And hey, if you're curious about my better half, you can meet him too - he'll be hanging with the fur babies alongside of me when he is home from work.

19. Stephanie K.


“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my two high maintenance dogs( one senior with medical needs and one very anxious) for two weeks. The house was also was very clean( couldn’t even tell anyone had been there). She was a great communicator with any issues or just pictures of them playing.”


20. Marisa K.
“Marisa is sure to pour all her love and dedication into taking good care of your pets! She has been a pet-sitter for me multiple times and has always been thorough and vigilant in her care of my animals. She's always sweet about checking in on my pets, and if I ask she won't hesitate to send some pictures just so I can see my cats! I've known Marisa for years and in that time I've seen her care for all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, etc. She has such a wealth of knowledge and genuine interest and love for all kinds of animals that I'd be comfortable placing any type of pet in her care.”
