About: Hi, I’m Kadi! I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs—everything from adopting a senior pup with medical needs to fostering and dog-sitting dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is for you to feel your dog is completely safe, loved, and cared for, so you can truly enjoy yourself while you're away. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention (and I’ll send you lots of photos!). My husband, Jake, and I recently moved to Royal Oak from New Orleans, where we regularly dog-sat, fostered, and volunteered with a local rescue. We have two small rescue dogs—Omelette and Hollywood—who are used to visitors. Hollywood enjoys playtime but is also respectful of dogs who prefer to relax. I have particular experience caring for dogs with anxiety and provide a calm, loving space where your dog can feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate extensions or adjustments as needed. I’m happy to continue any routines you have at home, including crate training, medication administration, potty training, and positive reinforcement. I typically walk dogs twice a day but adjust to each pup’s energy level and needs. For safety, dogs are never left unsupervised in my fenced backyard. In an emergency, I follow our agreed-upon plan and advocate for your dog as if they were my own. Feel free to reach out with any questions—looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! I work from home and have two dogs of my own, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home all day to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I typically walk twice a day and adjust the schedule based on each dog’s needs—whether that’s more activity, extra cuddle time, or sticking to a familiar routine. I’m available 24/7 and happy to accommodate early mornings or later evenings if needed. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and preferences so I can care for them in the best way possible. I’m always nearby to offer attention, comfort, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to create a calm, cozy, and safe environment where your dog feels right at home. To help every dog feel secure—especially at mealtimes—I feed dogs separately to avoid stress or food guarding. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and never leave dogs unsupervised outside.

“Samantha was very friendly and her house was clean and tidy! She immediately gave my dog some treats and he warmed up very quickly. I got lots of photos and a few videos throughout the day and it made me so happy to know my boy was in safe hands! Will definitely be using Samantha’s doggy day care services again.”


“Jess was great. She really cares for my dogs and takes dog sitting seriously. One pup got messy she she gave him a bath. He was nice and clean at pick up time. She communicated well and was very responsive to feedback. Definitely hope to use Jess again.”


About: I have cared for dogs since our first Siberian Husky joined the family in the 1960's! Family, friends and now new friends have entrusted me to take care of their fury family members when they leave town. From puppies to seniors they are all treated as if they were my own! I will consider accepting two dogs from the same family/household, but will generally only care for one dog at a time. This is so that no dog needs to not only adjust to being away from their own home, but also have to navigate relating to another, unfamiliar animal. I have no pets in my own home at this time either. Breeds I have cared for over the years include Labrador Retrievers, Samoyeds, Pugs, Huskies, Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Weimaraner's, German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, English Setters, Australian Shepards, Cocker Spaniels, Cockapoos and countless mixed breeds! I work from my home and so I am able to devote myself to any dog in my care. I take frequent work breaks and consider my care of the dogs entrusted to me as a part of my at-home work/life routine! I only care for pets in my own home. I have a nice fenced in backyard with privacy fencing on two sides and chain link on the other two sides, and the dogs seem to like the space. I do not leave dogs in the backyard on their own. I am with them if they are outside. I like to walk the dogs around my neighborhood and through the nearby park up to three times per day depending upon their energy level/physical abilities or limitations and their established routine. Any dogs that are more couch potatoes are certainly never forced to take walks. I honor where they are in terms of their breed, age and physicality! I have cared for elder dogs who have needed regular, timely medications and close observation as well as wild little puppies and everything in between! My home is kept very clean and neat to prevent my fury guests from getting into anything they should not and between visits I wash all dog bedding, towels, blankets and rugs.

“Cody has a way with dogs, and it’s clear ours enjoyed being with him and was well cared for while there. We booked a few days before the stay and he was extremely accommodating! We will use him again!”


“Goose had a great time at daycare with Sydney and her family! They were very accommodating and he loved having puppy friends to play with all day. He came home absolutely pooped and exhausted from all the fun.”

I am an experienced professional dog handler and trainer with space in my home to care for your family members who cannot accompany you while you're away.

I focus on force-free training methods, while still making sure to ensure rules and boundaries in my household. As much as I love training, training is not offered as part of your stay. I currently work from home, and am able to let out frequently. Your pets will be treated like my own while they stay with me. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup who loves to meet new friends! I am set up for any scenario needed, and have crates for safety and feeding. If your dog isn't used to staying in a crate is reliable to be left alone, I have baby gates set up around the home to keep them out of places they shouldn't be.

About: No dog is too rambunctious, or cat too mean for me. I've lived and grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m also extremely good with difficult cats. My cat is a rescue that I saved. She was mean and nobody would adopt her. After learning how to help cats with behavioral problems, I was able to turn her into the most loving, cuddly cat. I also absolutely love going for walks with dogs and exploring the neighborhood. I'm comfortable with dogs of many breeds and sizes. I have experience caring for big dogs and ones smaller than my cat. I'm very easy to get along with and flexible if there are any special requests for your fur baby. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your fur babies. I am self employed and wanted to do some more dog walking as a nice break in my day to get some exercise and meet some sweet dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a couple parks nearby that your dog would love to explore. If there are any special spots they love to go to, I can take them there.

“DuVarius did a great job with my dog. He sent pictures, a video, and was very flexible with pick up/drop off times.”


“Once again our Bella girl had a blast! Thank you for the excellent care!”



“I couldn’t have hoped for a better pet sitter for my new puppy. They kept me informed and sent photos and videos to assure me he was having the time of his life while I was out running errands. Very genuine couple and you can tell them adore all animals. I highly recommend them!”


“I was pretty nervous as this was my first time dropping off my young male rescue with someone, but Theresia answered my questions and was very flexible, even letting me drop off a toy ahead of the meet & greet to do a scent exchange. Our first stay went well and I was so glad to hear her feedback!”


“Taj is always such an amazing host. Naya loves to be at her house and with Abu! Whenever possible I use Taj for any dog sitting needs I have. So glad I found her!”


About: I would love to take care of your furbaby! I have several years of past experience working at animal hospitals and a year of volunteer experience at the ASPCA animal shelter. I offer boarding with only one pet family booked at a time. I also offer house-sitting and love how it is a great option for some pets who feel most comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I usually stay overnight for the pet's care needs, but if you are looking for just morning to evening or partial day house-sitting, message me for a custom rate. Whether boarding or house-sitting, I will do my best to adhere to your furbaby's normal routine. I have a knack for relaxing anxious/shy/reactive pets and have quite a lot of experience winning them over. I would be happy to do a meet-n-greet in a large outdoor space for your pup to warm up to me on neutral ground. I've cared for the full spectrum of dog sizes and ages. With older pets, I go slowly and make sure not to startle them if they're sleeping, as they may not see or hear me come in. I like to discuss how I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. Extra plus if your pet is a cuddler! I look forward to getting to know all of your pets' personality traits and quirks! I LOVE hearing stories about the weird things your pets do that make them unique! :D I work from home and can often accommodate same day requests for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine. I like to go slow when meeting new furbabies, especially if you tell me they are shy or anxious. I use a few calming techniques that have shown to be effective. I like a challenge! It's so rewarding watching the transformation of a cat/dog go from showing defensive/protective behavior to them rubbing up on me or giving me kisses. Earning their trust is the best!

“Robin is great at communicating and sending updates during the day on how Molly is doing; a 5 mo SHGP is definitely a challenge and Robin is all for it! I highly recommend her to take care of your furry family member, I’ve been relying on her for day care 2 days a week with the likelihood of overnights in the future.”

Kathryn T.
“Kathy provided a wonderful loving home for our sweet Leia on two separate occasions. We were reluctant to take a trip without our dog because we knew we would miss her and Kathy sent frequent txts, videos, and updates about how our pup was doing to make us still feel connected to her. We couldn’t have asked for more supportive caretaker while we were gone. Our whole family was excited to share the videos and txts as they came in! The next time we left and Leia got to come back for a visit, she remembered all of her favorite spots right away and clearly remembered the welcoming environment and promptly fell asleep to cuddle and snuggle with Kathy right after I left. I now can book other vacations in confidence knowing Leia has a constant, reliable, loving home with Kathy!”

Fitzgerald dog parents share their Rover experiences
After our great experience, I brought Millie back again to see Rachel and all her friends. Millie was so excited, she ran straight up to Rachel and the front door to go inside. I got great updates throughout the day and I can tell my girl is tired and ready for a nap. I appreciate Rachel’s care and attention so much. We will be back!
