Our dog is a little wary of strangers and he loved Jeannette right away!! He greeted her like family the first time he met her and I immediately felt comfortable having our dog in her care. She is a total professional and gives us such peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

I had a regular walker cancel for a life interruption last minute on my midterm test day and Lukis was wonderful. It was as if they were Kronk’s caretaker for months. He was happy and I had no worries about him while I was testing. I would definitely go to them again for any caretaking needs in the future.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. From raising dogs from puppyhood to their senior years to caring for my own beloved cats, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. My flexible work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members, ensuring they never feel lonely. Through my years of experience with friends' pets and on Rover, I have cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am well-equipped to handle: Diverse Needs: Experience with high-energy breeds, high-anxiety personalities, and pets with permanent physical disabilities. Specialized Care: Comfortable with senior needs, administering medications (pill takers), and managing picky eaters. Routine Consistency: I aim to follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and separation anxiety. Frequent Updates: I know how it feels to miss your fur babies, so I prioritize sending plenty of photos and updates to keep your mind at ease. Whether your pet is big or small, they will receive the same patient, loving care I give my own. I look forward to meeting your best friend! Due to my flexible job, I am able to care for a pet any time of day. It's pretty rare for me to have time restrictions. I always do my very best to maintain your pets daily routine so to keep anxiety levels down and make sure both pet and parent feel comfortable.

Randi professionally amicably, efficiently and thoroughly cared for my Shih Tzu during this last trip that I was gone out of state. I really appreciate the way that she took care of my dog and documented with thorough feedback. I feel confident using rover.com because of the communication and the insurance.

About: I am trained in Dog Behavior and Management from my previous job at Camp Bow Wow. I’m bubbly, kind, and patient with humans and dogs. I recently moved away from home where my family dog lives. But when I was home I did all feeding, bathing, walks, playing, and training. I have a fenced in backyard and friendly neighborhood dogs that love to play (if your pup is interested and comfortable). Availability 24/7 for walks.

Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

About: Why Pet Parents Choose Me 🐾Trusted by repeat local clients - References available. 🐾Known for being reliable, caring, and communicative. 🐾Certificate in Cat and Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) 🐾5 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant 🐾Fostering experience, including raising bottle-fed kittens and fostering a DACC rescue dog who was once on death row - who now has the happiest forever home! Hi, I’m Monica DeSpain— a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud pet mom to one sweet senior dog and three quirky cats. I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. My background includes 5 years working at two veterinary hospitals as a veterinary assistant, volunteering at the animal shelter, and fostering pets in my home. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in animal care long before I officially started offering pet sitting. Since August 2024, I’ve been providing trusted, compassionate pet sitting services to families in the Grosse Pointe area. ​ I also currently run a small online business from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday and weekend visits, dog walking, and personalized drop-in care. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets — not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for love, attention, and consistency. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level — and I meet them where they’re at. Whether it’s energetic play, gentle senior care, medication routines, or just being a calm presence, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. My schedule is flexible and I do my best to accommodate yours. Let’s work together to plan for your pets needs. I should be able to accommodate most schedules. I will care for your pet with the same loving, caring and kindness that I have for my own pets. Most animals find me easy to be comfortable around.

About: I have a tendency to treat all animals as my own, and give them the utmost love and care. Not only do animals benefit from my care, but what I get back in return from animals is just as important. I grew up constantly being around pets, and grew up with dogs. I raised two dogs on my own and they now live with my parents so I currently have no pets, which has left a little hole in my heart! I have a loving home on the third floor of apartment building, where there is much room to play and lounge. I have a fenced-in backyard where there is even more room for fun. There are many areas we can go for walks, and also a dog park just down the street. I am also working from home so have a lot of time to devote to dogs.

About: Hi there! I've had pets of all kinds my entire life, so I'm very comfortable with all sorts of animals. My mom and I began fostering dogs for a rescue when I was very young so I've also been handling big groups of dogs of all ages for most of my life. My mom runs a local dog rescue and offers training, so she's definitely honed my dog handling skills quite a bit. I love dogs of all sizes, especially big dogs! My own dog at home is not very energetic, so I would love to play with some more active dogs as well. My schedule can be pretty flexible and I'm often on-the-go. Please let me know if there's any special accommodations your pet needs. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I currently work two part-time jobs with flexible schedules and relatively short shifts, so I'm able to care for pets easily around my daily schedule. I have experience with dogs with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, so I'm able to cater my approach to each individual pet. I'm big on respecting dogs' boundaries, especially in their own spaces, because my own dog is very shy.

About: I grew up on a full swing farm outside of Port Huron, MI. We had border collies and Great Pyrenees and I spent many hours exploring and adventuring with them (teaching them to open doors and coral the cows and sheep!) I’m currently working as a freelance artist (pet portraits!) and yoga instructor, so my schedule is very flexible based on the needs of your pet. Whether at my home or yours I am an avid runner/walker and will take your pup for strolls around town. If they enjoy the dog park I’m also happy to incorporate some social hours in to the sitting!

About: CCS Grad Student based West Village. Grew up in a Shitzu home, but I only get to see her on weekends. However, I've been taking care of small dogs and pet-sitting dogs and cats for fam/friends for the last 4 years. I'm a full-time grad student, so aside from evening or afternoon classes, I'm flexible. Morning and/or Evening walking + feeding schedules are no issue. I’m a morning person! I've cared for pets in my own home or their own, and my primary focus is always making sure they are comfortable. Usually, that means trying my best to follow their normal routines.

I’ll be treating your pet with the respect and kindness that any human would receive. I understand that our pets are as important as we are . So I’ll make sure that all your pets needs are met . I’m also big on high vibration and positive energy , so your home will be kept up to par .And I love nature and physical activity so I’m always ready to care for your pet outside when needed !
