“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs. Our family had a senior dog who lived until almost 17 years old, so I have plenty of experience with older dogs! I also have a rescue from Detroit now who is my baby. I am a nurse! So, I work three days a week, but I don’t have designated days. So usually I would need at least a couple of days in advance. I do have my schedule for work booked out at least six weeks. So I can be very very flexible apart from the days that I do work. I will treat your pet the same way that I would treat mine! I will always have eyes on them and make sure that they are safe and happy to see you when you get home!

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how important it is to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. Contact me for more details and we can get something started!

I know how important it is to keep your pets happy and engaged, whether it's a refreshing walk or cozy company while you're away. I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and take pride in making sure they feel safe, cared for, and, of course, loved! With my flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s a midday walk or a bit of play time to keep the occupied during the day. When I am with your pet, they will be treated and seen as family. No matter their needs, I will work to ensure they are as happy and comfortable as possible.

I always leave your place better than you left it!
“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”
About: I have worked with animals and have used pet care facilities before and know it is hard to find trusted dependable care. Understand life/work happens and there is always need for pet care to support them with. I am available Monday through Friday days. Evenings for Monday through Thursday. Weekends for sitting overnight. Able to come over to check on animals or feeding time. I have trained two puppies from 4weeks and on that were part of my household. I have a dog that was found in Eastern Market area and have worked with resource guarding.
About: Hello! My name is Liz ! I work at an Ed tech company and I am a life long dog lover. I have a very sweet 3 old German shepherd mix named Onna who loves to meet people, meet dogs and accompany me on coffee runs! ** If your dog is missing some puppy play dates Onna and I would be happy to schedule a visit or a walk together! ** Growing up my family had black labs and a german shepherd. I have a huge soft spot for big dogs and love to be outside with a dog. I am naturally patient with kind dogs and have good instincts in any expected or unexpected situation that will inevitably come along when pets are involved. I treat all dogs like they are my best friend. Once I get to know your dog I will likely greet them before I say hello to you! I understand that life is busy and your dog is the most loved member of your household so you want to keep them happy, healthy, and well loved and I cannot wait to help contribute to that! I work remotely with a flexible schedule so I am open to meeting with your dog when it works for all of you. My dog and I walk twice a day so if you are open to meeting my dog before hand they can join our schedule! I have a fenced in yard and if you are interested in meeting my dog before hand we’d love to make It a dog play date.
About: I got started dog-sitting as a teenager, because every family I baby-sat for had dogs as well. I've spent years walking and taking care of dogs, though I've never had one of my own. I love dogs, but through my adult life so far, I haven't lived in an apartment complex that allowed them. I am up for long walks and playtime. I also just moved to the Detroit-area from Kalamazoo, and walking dogs seems like a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.
About: Hello, my name’s Amanda and I just finished my freshman year at the University of Michigan. I have been in the dog watching/walking business for about 8 years now, and I can honestly say that it is my favorite way to spend my time! This is my first time on Rover, so I’m very excited to give it a shot. I’ve had two dogs throughout my life and have been the primary caretaker of them. Since they are not with me anymore, I am looking forward to spending time with other amazing dogs! I will always make it fun and play with your pup, as well as keep them safe and healthy. I’m available almost every day of the week, and most flexible on weekends. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and can’t wait to walk yours!
About: I’m a true animal lover! We always had a dog growing up and I now have two 12 year old labs and an old man cat at home ❤️ I’ve been around and love puppies but also know the attention and care that older pets need. Having met and worked with lots of sitters for our own family, I know the importance of finding someone you can trust with not only your pets but also your home. From giving medicine, to walks and playtime, rolling in the grass and picking up poop, it all comes with the territory that I’m already so familiar with at our house. I work remotely and am an early riser (thanks to our dogs) so sticking to your pet’s schedule should be no problem at all! I’d love the chance to meet and care for the animals in your family! My schedule can be flexible, if needed. I work remote so can be around to give your pets all kinds of love throughout the day! I’m happy to take all the walks or throw toys in your yard to keep your dogs happy - whatever is preferred! Staying on their schedule and making sure they have everything they need will be easy as I have lots of practice with my own at home (cat cuddles included) ❤️
