“Cammi came and let my dog Moose out twice while we were gone for the day for a Tigers game. She was great and super communicative during her visits! We are very pleased with her and will definitely book again!”
“Christine is wonderful! My dog loves her and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I also love how quick she is in responding to any calls/messages. Highly recommend her!”
“We can't recommend Rebecca enough! We booked with Rebecca not just because of availability but her other reviews. We were looking for someone to check in on our 13 year old senior cat while away for a vacation.It is the 1st time we have used Rover, but it was easy to communicate & book with her. She was quick to communicate availability, reassure us about her experience and continued those things through the week with our kitty. She sent texts with updates and included photos of him. Upon returning home he was way calmer than in vacations past where he wasn't checked on as frequently. He was happy to see us but didn't hide like he has in the past. We are so grateful to have found Rebecca! She is the BEST! 10/10!”
“Torie was great with my kitty Henry. Apparently she got him to play with her with a toy he never wants to play with when I try.i am a tad jealous. She gave him his dinner and turned on a hall light that I forgot to turn on.”

About: ‼️ Exciting Update ‼️ As of mid-July, I’m officially based in Southfield, MI and am once again available for overnight stays, walks, and drop-in visits! I’m thrilled to be nearby and able to care for your pets with even more flexibility. Feel free to message me with any questions—I can’t wait to reconnect with you and your furry companions! — Eleanor 🐾 Hi, I’m Eleanor! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted our beloved Border Collie/Lab mix, Lillie. That was the beginning of a lifelong love for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from playful 8-week-old puppies to gentle senior dogs—and have experience with everything from basic training to senior care. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting dogs with medical conditions, and handling basic first aid when needed. Whether your dog needs extra cuddles, a calm and confident walker, or someone who can stick to their routine while you’re away, I’m here to help make their day (and yours!) a little easier. I am now based full-time in Southfield, MI and available locally for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Pet care is currently my primary focus, allowing me to maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. While I do have a few regular commitments—including Sunday mornings and a brief Monday volunteer shift—I am typically available throughout the week and make every effort to ensure pets in my care are not left alone for extended periods. I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule and your pet’s routine to provide consistent, reliable care. While I do not currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for your pet in their familiar environment, whether through overnight stays, drop-in visits, or walks. I believe pets are most comfortable—and least stressed—when they can stay on their regular routine, surrounded by the people, smells, and spaces they know best. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I follow any care instructions carefully, keep open communication, and treat your home with respect and discretion. Whether it’s a quick visit or a multi-day stay, I aim to create a calm, reliable presence your pet can trust.
“We love Charlene, we had a few last minute changes and she was always willing to work with us! Both times we have used Charlene we came home to well groomed and well loved cats. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been helping neighbors with their pet sitting needs since a young age, including feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am comfortable with all dogs, and can happily walk and take care of any number of pets. I can also assist with puppy training and medication administration. My availability shifts depending on the week, but I can make room for almost any request! I love spending time with animals and will make your family a priority in my routine. I am respectful while working in client’s homes, maintaining a clean and safe environment while agreeing to and following all house rules. I have reliable transportation and am very active, so I love long walks and lots of play! I follow routine well and will work with any schedule.
“Corina is absolutely amazing!!! Our usual river friend wasn’t available for our trip so we trusted someone new and I am so glad we did! Our senior cat is fickle but chatty & doesn’t like new people or being alone. He took to Corina right away! We are so thankful for her checking in on our fur baby while we were away!! Thank you for the check ins & the photos! Our daughter is less anxious when she sees those! 💕”
About: I've had 14 years of pet experience, ranging from cats to dogs I have the skills needed to watch your dogs for as many nights as you need. It's my promise that they will be treated as family, and I will give them all the attention and love they deserve. Over the years I've had multiple cats and multiple dogs, so I am more than adequate in watching over your dogs. Low pricing for short stays to garner more reviews. Book while they're low! For doggy day care, I'm willing to do short visits if you just need some time away from the dog (say for having company over for a dinner). We can adjust pricing if you just want me to watch them for a few hours. Your dog will be receiving constant attention. We will play, go on walks, and watch TV together on the couch! They'll get potty breaks every couple hours and accidents are expected so I'll be prepared for whatever comes my way. The point of scheduling me is to reduce your stress, not add to it. I'll try to make the process as seamless as possible. They'll get regular walks, potty breaks, and playtime! I'll also do basic grooming as needed, especially when they're shedding. Most of the time we'll be spending time on the couch watching TV. I'll make sure your dog gets lots of pets! They need to feel safe and at-home, and I'll do everything in my power to provide that. Review Note: Owner was upset that I didn't want to continue services when his dog got sick from him overfeeding him (dog was very obese). This is Freddie owned by Manish. You will see a positive review by me because Rover doesn't let you change it. If you're a boarder please don't work with him. He's very rude and doesn't answer the phone as well.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and lived with many. I don’t currently have my own as he passed two years ago, but I live with other dogs and care for my family’s pets as well. I am used to animals of all breeds and sizes, and love being around them. I work from home and enjoy having a break from sitting at the desk. Working from home also can make house-sitting easier as I can be more flexible to suit your pet’s needs! As mentioned above, I have a relatively flexible schedule since I work from home. So I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works for you! All animals are different and I take my queues from them as to how comfortable they are being approached. I additionally make sure to ask specifics about routine and likes/ dislikes before caring or walking any pets.

“Corey is great with dogs! I actually met her because she was fostering and my husband and I adopted the sweet baby she took in. She has since watched and walked our pup and did so well with her! She learned our commands we use for her and reinforced the training we spent so long instilling. We are very selective in who we allow to care for our dogs when we are away, and we would definitely recommend her to take care of your beloved fur baby in any capacity! Doggies know good people and all 3 mine love her!”

Eleanor T.
“Since I met Ellie she’s been a very organized and responsible person. She started driving me home everyday just because I was close with her younger sister. My house was completely out of the way, but she made me feel like it was totally okay. Ellie’s a really sweet person and she’s amazing with pets. When we’d hang out at my house, she’d say hi to all the strays and even let me bring one in her car to say hi to her dog. Almost every time I went to visit her at her house she’d be with one of the cats or dogs. Ellie is great with animals and whenever I saw her she’d be spending time with them. Ellie is a really cautious person as well. My parents are really quick drivers and sometimes it’s a bit jerky, but Ellie is always smooth and careful. I would absolutely recommend her to pet sit because she’s really friendly with all animals. Shes very determined and smart and if anything goes wrong she will call. If I’ve learned anything from being her friend, I’ve learned that she’s good at communicating and she will do her very best to make sure things work out well.”

Kyle Joseph P.
“Kyle has been a great help caring for my two dogs when I've been out of town or going to be working late. He's reliable and they love him!”
Nelly S.
“Nelly is the best! She started watching my Jameson (Great Dane) when he was 8 weeks old. She would come over while my husband and I were at work to take him out and feed him when a whole work day was too long for him to be in his crate. Recently she stayed at our house while we were in Europe for two weeks. Nelly sent us pictures and updates, and I had no doubt that Jameson was receiving the best care possible. She has her own 80+ pound lab mix named Thunder, so she is very experienced and can handle big dogs!”

Katherine was flexible with her schedule on a day my wife and I hosted a golf outing for charity. She sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease during what is typically a very high stress day for us. This year went better than ever and we couldn’t have done it with out Katherine’s help!
We are returning clients! Corina usually takes care of our cat but we decided to leave our golden doodle home this time in her care. She is tentative, caring, loving, and so wonderful to our babies! We feel so comfortable with her coming and going from our home but also making sure our fur babies are more than taken care of! I can’t recommend her enough!!!
