“Erica was very responsive, stayed on schedule, and sent lots of updates which made me feel very comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands. Definitely recommend!”
“Jordan was awesome! Responded quickly to my request for services. Took initiative to learn more about Watson prior to visit. He on time for both visits, played/walked Watson and sent great pics. Highly recommend Jordan. Will definetley use him again.”
“Kristina has watched our babies twice so far. She is definitely trustworthy and caring with them. She is on time and sends us cute pictures which helps ease our minds knowing they're safe. Our English Bulldog is a bit shy and skittish, and she definitely warmed up to her right very quickly! I highly recommend Kristina”
“Erin watched my kitties on short notice and I'm very grateful. She was careful to follow instructions and even managed to give my stubborn cat medicine (I was semi-okay with him missing a dose, but ask her to at least try) and make friends with my very shy kitty. It was all very reassuring and I would definitely recommend.”
“Meagan showed our pets the most patience ,love and compassionate. She went up and beyond expectations when my pets misbehaved with accidents while we were gone. She is punctual and takes the best pictures. My pets loved her. She has allowed us to travel and know that our pets are in the best hands....hers❤️ I Highly recommend her ❤️”
“Samantha was wonderful! Very reliable, she sent a lot of pictures each visit and it was clear our dogs love her. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She played fetch and took them on a walk. We will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! Im Abby! I'm offering drop ins, boarding and walks in Royal oak and the surrounding areas! For boarding in my Royal Oak home, I can only accept dogs up to 20 pounds and a maximum of 2 dogs at a time. I work from home so I will be around all day to give your pups plenty of love and affection. I’ve loved animals my entire life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by horses and other animals, and I started volunteering at my local humane societies when I was just 15. Since then, I’ve spent my life working with animals in one way or another, from volunteering and dog walking to caring for pets in my own home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I have small shy dogs of my own, so I’m especially experienced with little breeds and understand their unique personalities and quirks. Because of that, I generally provide the best experience for small, lower to medium energy dogs who enjoy a relaxed home environment. I believe in treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your dog is staying overnight or just visiting for the day, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a consistent routine to help them feel at home. I’m dependable, honest, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to make every stay a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I allow every pet in my care the time to settle in, relax, and receive attention at their own pace as to keep a stress free environment. My home has a small secure fenced in backyard enclosure where dogs can safely get fresh air and take potty breaks. I always supervise outdoor time closely, and dogs are never left outside unattended we also take long walks to the wooded park across the street. . I keep things calm, secure, and comfortable so your pet can enjoy time outside while still being watched and cared for.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.
About: I've owned animals for most of my life, dogs and cats. I consider myself confident around animals with a kind disposition which allows the animal to feel engaging and safe. My own dogs have been rescues as well as purebreds. I'm comfortable with puppies as it had my own and train them well. I can make myself available throughout the day as my full-time job allows me to work from home and have flexibility. If longer time is required during visits, I'm able to bring my work with me and sit with your pet for longer. Caring for your pet will include an introduction allowing them to know I'm safe to enter their home. Depending on the need of the animal, I will engage with them on their level, feed them if needed, and provide outdoor engagement during their potty break. I'm happy to send pictures through text to show the safety of your pet.
“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.

“Jessica was amazing, responded straight away and was very responsible, she took great care of Gizmo and went above and beyond of what was asked, I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica, so glad I found you 😁 Mandy B”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently a full time student & working part-time. I have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Thursday and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.
“Hannah was incredibly attentive and responsible while taking care of Delta during our time away. She kept the litter box and food bowls clean, and we really appreciated the thoughtful care she provided. We’d be more than happy to book with Hannah again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, caring for them is like second nature to me! I currently have two dogs of my own so I understand that they are like apart of our family and I understand the care that comes with owning a dog! My goal is always to ensure that your animals are well taken care of and loved during your time away! I do work a full-time job, however my nights and weekends are free and flexible! I am typically available after 6pm during the week, but I usually have a random day off during the week where I can be available all day! Since I have two pups of my own, I am very familiar with their need to keep routine. I am happy to give any medications needed, put your dog in a crate, walk them outside for a while, whatever it takes to not stray from their routine!

Emily took perfect care of my kitties and did everything I asked. She gave me thorough updates and even cleaned up their messes. They don’t like strangers and they were out playing with her and trusting her to give treats during visits. I plan on booking her again! 🤗
Emily took wonderful care of Penny and kept us updated with each visit. I could tell Penny was happy comfortable and well cared for we really appreciated how responsible attentive and loving Emily was with Penny and would absolutely recommend her. We will definitely use her again.
Review from Jazzy the pet: I love Sarang! I am a very needy, attention seeking pet. Sarang is so patient and caring. Sarang gives me countless belly rubs, lets me follow around into bathroom. I am fed, walked on time. I hope Sarang will always be my sitter! Love Jazzy.
Lizzi was awesome. This was our first time leaving our super social under 1 year old kitten and I was really nervous. It was so great seeing updates of Zuzu happily playing, sleeping, eating and drinking.. being her happy self while we were away. Lizzi’s communication and kindness made this all a really easy experience for each of us when usually leaving a pet for the first time is very anxiety inducing. Lizzi is exactly the person I was looking for to take perfect care of Zuzu while we were away. That lextra level of attention and care that goes beyond being in a safe place and being fed, but truly knowing that someone with experience and compassion has their best interest at heart.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
