“Eva is amazing! My cat Nyx is very shy,but Eva went above and beyond to connect/ interact with Nyx!! She sent me many photos of Nyx each visit, including photos of how much food Nyx ate, general well- being. I highly recommend her!!!!”

About: Hello~ I’m Olivia! I’ve been around dogs most of my life (since I was a baby!), and now that I’m on my own, I really feel the animal-shaped hole in my heart. As I don’t currently have any pets due to my circumstances, I still want to have that connection and joy you get from the pure love of a dog. I can promise if you trust me with your paw-ed family member, I will treat them as my own. I understand the difficulties dogs may have as they get older, and have experience with giving pills, cleaning up after accidents, and monitoring gait and health concerns. Each dog is special with their own needs and I am familiar with dogs with stomach issues and licking disorders, like the Shiba Inu and mixed breeds. If you need someone to follow specific directions, I have experience in technical jobs and have been lauded for my attention to detail. It is always so important to find someone that will properly care for your furry family member as they are not able to advocate for themselves. I do work full-time during the week, but have a decently flexible schedule and can stop in early in the morning, around lunchtime, and after work. I am also available on the weekends for those on vacation or needing assistance getting walks in! I understand it can be incredibly difficult to trust someone in your space, but I treat people’s spaces and pets how I would want mine treated. I believe coming to the pet in an environment they are familiar with can make it easier to develop trust and friendship, which are my goals for a happy pet-sitter relationship!
About: I use to work on Rover before the pandemic. I loved it, I love animals dogs especially.I have had pets my whole life. I have never met a dog that hasn’t liked me, i also am a reiki practitioner and am always willing to do some on a pet with obviously your consent. I love walking so why not walk some dogs in the process. I’m into fitness and getting into shape and what is the best way to do that then with a pet♥️ I love others pets like my own. I will hug them scratch them kiss them and cuddle them. My animals are spoiled and I plan on spoiling yours♥️
“Tina was an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cats by providing updates with pictures and detailed notes after each visit. She ensured they had food and water, addressed any issues like spills, and even brought packages inside. Her rates were very reasonable, which was an added bonus. Overall, I highly recommend Tina if you need someone reliable and caring to watch your pets. She would treat your pet as if it were her own.”

About: I can’t have pets where I’m currently living and it breaks my heart. I miss being surrounded by dogs and cats. I fill that void by pet sitting! I love seeing and taking care of family and friends dogs. Going back to watch them is like visiting with a friend. I grew up with all sorts of animals - cats, dogs, and reptiles and amphibians! I love them all! I work part time but they are 8 hour shifts so certain days I’m gone for a majority of it. Working on getting a remote job but for now, I’ll be out a couple days a week. This would be a discussion with the pet owner but I’m a rule follower! I never want anything to happen to your pet on my watch - I can’t think of anything worse than having to tell someone something happened to their pet. Whatever care instructions you give me, I’ll follow.
“Shelly was great with my 2 year old Pitbull Dalmatian mix, I highly recommend! Shelly came for a meet & greet on very short notice & impressed me immediately. She was very gentle & comforting to my timid, reactive, & nervous momma from the 1st moment they met! Shelly is punctual, trustworthy, & very good with communicating (even checked how many treats she should be giving?) to owners! I will 100% sure have Shelly sit for my baby again! Thank You Shelly!!”

“You will not find a better cat sitter than Amber! She gives our pets so much love and attention. I cannot say enough about how helpful and thoughtful she is. Amber always goes above and beyond for us!”

About: I grew up having dogs in my home and in my family. I’m experienced in caring for dogs that are diabetic or pre diabetic. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own and make them feel at home. They will get plenty love and attention while they are in my care. I currently work on Monday through Thursday and at home on Fridays. I will always make sure your fur baby is cared for as directed. I have a fenced in yard and we will also go on walks. I like to get dogs out even if we go for treats.
About: Hi, I’ve had a range of different pets for as long as I can remember and have loved every minute of it! Whenever my friends or family need someone to take care of their pets they know that I will be glad to do it. I’ve volunteered at the humane society and similar organizations and ended up rescuing two different cats during my volunteering because of my love for animals. I am happy to take care of your pets in any way needed, whether that is walking dogs, training puppies, checking in on your pet, or staying with them in your home and giving them lots of attention. I am currently working at a brunch spot in Dearborn Heights as a server. The restaurant is open 8am-3pm so shifts are typically less than 5 or 6 hours. I work there 3-4 days a week and my schedule is very flexible the rest of the time. My fiancé and I are getting married in March, so I’m trying to earn some extra money while doing something I love, taking care of fur babies! Because of my flexible schedule I am available to check-in, walk, or stay with your pets often. I am willing to stay with pets overnight if needed and will love and care for your pets as much as possible!
About: I am an experienced dog walker/sitter and a life long pet owner. Having pets thoughout my entire life I naturally fit into this position with ease. I started out walking/sitting as favors for friends and family but it quickly turned into a passion. Since then I have decided to start a small business walking and sitting pets of all kinds. I love it so much that I even started volunteering too. I have over 2 years experience volunteering at the Michigan Humane Society and have helped with everything from training, stress relief, health monitoring, and of course PLAY. I have no issues with any breed or size of dog. I love them all. I hope to share my experience and passion with your pet/pets in the future. Please message me for a meet and great. Hello, Here is my current availability: Sunday-Wednesday 3:30pm-10pm Thursday-Saturday anytime Please contact me with any questions. I would love to work with you and your fur babies. I treat your pet like they are my own. I have always had animals in my life and believe that animals should be treated with kindness and respect.

About: Hi my name is Amberlyn! I’m excited to get to know you and your furry family members. My background includes upwards to ten years of experience helping care for pets and farm animals! I have completed courses at ed tech involving agriculture and veterinary practice, which gives me extensive knowledge on caring for animals including following medicine procedures and meal preparations. Please message for questions I’m open to all types of animal sitting/walking! I have personal pets of my own that I take care and do daily, and have lots of previous experience. I do work another job but get out early in the afternoon so I have a lot of free time to care for your lovely pets! ☺️ I provide basic needs for animals, like exercise, feeding, and even basic medication. I love going on walks and playing fetch with dogs of all kind.
About: Just like most people, I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I wouldn’t know what life would be like without pups in the home! I work full time approximately 15 minutes from my home. During the summer, I play softball locally and bring the pups with me to games. I have a decent size fenced backyard! It provides the pups plenty of room to run and play. I live in a spacious home as well which provided them room to play and eat.
About: I have lived on a farm all my life with pigs, cows, sheep, rabbits and poultry and I have 2 dogs of my own, and 2 cats also. I love to play and snuggle with them and I have been told before I am like the animal whisper and have this nurturing effect with any and all animals of various temperaments. I am a high energy person, but I can also be mellow and adjust well to any breed or any activity level. I have delt with puppies and elder animals of many species. I have no problem walking with your loved pet. I will make sure to make sure pets are treated like one of my own. It would be as if you and your family never left. I’m primarily available on weekends and occasionally during the week, depending on my work schedule, which can be flexible most of the time. My husband also works from home and helps care for our pets when I’m away, so he’s available to assist with pet care during longer stays or daytime needs. Together, we ensure that your pets are never left without attention and care. If you’re planning a trip or need a sitter during the week, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate! At home, our pets are truly part of the family. We have a fenced yard and a 30-foot tie-out that allows for safe outdoor time and supervised play. Our dogs are fed twice a day, enjoy afternoon playtime, and go for evening walks to stay active and happy. We also have two indoor cats, Oliver and Nala, who are both well-adjusted to sharing their space with dogs. Oliver is curious and enjoys joining us on walks in his pet stroller. He loves the sights and sounds of the outdoors! Nala, on the other hand, prefers the comfort of staying indoors, and we fully respect her boundaries. We never force our animals to do anything they’re uncomfortable with and always tailor our care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. Visiting pets will receive the same thoughtful, loving care just like one of our own!

Garden City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.

Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.

Abby was a life saver for our last minute dog walking booking while we went on vacation! Our dog stayed with my mom, who told us our dog was very comfortable with Abby and she was very communicative regarding pick up times and how our puppy was doing on the walks. Abby even sent us a cute video of our dog while walking which reassured us she was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!
