1. Hannah J.
“Hannah was kind to Bailey. He actually slept with her all night instead of wanting to wonder around the house. He is not used to being left alone and this was the first time we actually left him with somebody else overnight. Hannah is gentle and calm.”
2. Angie D.
“Lincoln and Lulu had their 2nd overnighter with Angie and the crew. They loved it and were definitely tired out. Love Angie’s communication and love for my pets.”
3. Victoria C.
“Tori was so kind to my dog and my cat and she kept my home spotless. They were so well cared for while I was gone. I have already booked her again. I highly recommend her.”
4. Anthony M.
“Anthony took great care of my pet while I was away! I highly recommend him. Thank you so much again Anthony!”
5. Miranda B.
“I reached out to Miranda on very short notice when I had to take a last minute out of town trip. She responded to my inquiry within minutes (and it was late). We set up a time for her to come by and meet my dogs the next day. My dogs took to her immediately. She was very engaging with them and they loved the attention. Miranda stayed at my home while I was gone. She was great with communication and send lots of photos. I could tell the dogs weee I’m good hands and happy. She even helped me with some household matters…checking the accuracy of an order that I had shipped to the house. She left the house spotless (cleaned all the dishes, mopped the floor, stripped the bed). I can’t recommend her highly enough. It was a great experience and I will be a repeat client.”
6. Mary Kay G.
“I’m very pleased with my first pet sitting service from Mary Kay. She’s professional, communicative and made me feel comfortable & confident leaving my pets in her care. My pets were happy and stress free on my return. I would absolutely hire Mary Kay again.”
7. Alexandra C.
“Alexandra is excellent with my pups. She is super loving and treats them just like I do. She goes above and beyond to ensure your pups are well cared for and your home is safe. She is very respectful and caring to pets as well as people. She is an absolute joy to work with.”
8. Brit W.
“Brit did an excellent job keeping us up to date with our dogs and cat (three large dogs and one cat) while we were out of town for four nights. All of the animals seems to really take to her when we first met and they were disappointed to see her leave. They got so much attention! I’d hire Brit again in a heartbeat.”
9. Ameer H.
“I know my pets are in good hands when I have to go away because Ameer takes such good care of them. My older dog Buddy has special needs but Ameer is so gentle and kind with him and helps him feel safe when I’m away. My animals are always calm and content when I return home and I know it’s because they get such good care from Ameer. Highly recommend.”

Thank you for giving us piece of mind during our vacation!”

14. Brionna H.
About: I have been associated with all dog Breeds ever since I was 2 years old. I currently have 3 furbabies myself (GermanPit, GermanHusky, labordoodle. I currently work at Persmart part-time so I am very familiar with how to handle emergencies and more. I have been on Rover for 2 years I have been watching pets for 20years. I am currently working part-time, I have 3 other employees who will be with the pets in case anyone has to leave out. I am always at home when I get off of work. Your furbabies and I will take walks, run around the backyard, I have a great amount of space, they get water throughout the day, play time, nap time, frequent bathroom breaks, and relaxation time on the porch. I have 5 rescues so my time continuously consist of furbabies and their needs. My Bestfriend/Roommate is a Dog Trainer so our priority is the fur baby needs. I am about to move into a house with a large fenced backyard in a few weeks, but for now I am in a 2,000sqft apartment with a large unfenced yard and a very peaceful pet friendly complex.
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 and a cat. My partner 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. We're super cautious with our curious kitty and make sure he doesn't slip out. 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.

“Claudia is an animal lover through and through. From dogs to cats, birds,reptiles, amphibians and beyond she exudes a caring nature towards all animals. She has provided a loving and safe atmosphere for all of her pets. I highly recommend her in caring for others as well!”
17. Amanda E.
“What more could you ask for! Mature and responsible. Loved on my pets like I do…and they loved her! She shared pictures throughout the week which was GREATLY appreciated! I worried about my dog’s separation anxiety, but didn’t need to. Amanda instantly was one of the pack. She cared for the house, kept it clean, and brought in the mail. Perfect 5 star sitter.”
18. Laura K.
“Laura is a natural with dogs and cats. My pup feels so at home with her. She's great at following a list of special needs required for my baby, even brushing her teeth nightly and providing medications. I would definitely recommend Laura to watch your pets!”
19. Tyra H.
“Tyra is an excellent caregiver/pet sitter, she came into my home helped out with our 9 month old Rott. She took him on walks, played outside with him and even helped us with training him on listening better. She’s a 5 star Caregiver she comes 3/4 days a week Bruiser loves her and the extra help helps me out as well, I will continue to book with her. Thank you for everything Tyra keep up the great work”
20. Amy J.
“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”
