“If I could, I would give Richard 10 stars. We highly recommend him and are looking forward to booking him again in the future. Our boys loved spending time with him & were at ease with him the whole time.”

About: When leaving on a trip im always so worried about leaving my dog, Apollo, which is why I always make sure to treat others’ pets as my own. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs: being a doggie foster parent, volunteering at my local animal shelter, dog walking and dog sitting! I am comfortable and confident with all breeds and sizes, and I am experienced with puppies and reactivity. I prefer to adapt my style to whatever your pup is most used to. Your pup loves walks and wants to run around in the backyard? Count me in! Your pup is a couch potato and just wants some belly rubs? I’m there! I typically work a hybrid schedule, so some days will allow me to be home with your pup a majority of the time! My exact schedule will depend on the day and the week and can be talked about prior to booking! I always ensure I have ample time with your pup, as I would my own. Your pets safety and comfortability are most important! I provide care based on what the owner needs for their loved pup! I’m very careful to make sure gates/doors and closely follow routines that the pup is used to!
“Nicole cared for our 2, high maintenance Great Danes for a week in our home. She was fabulous. Our younger Dane has separation anxiety when we leave. Nicole was able to conquer his anxiety and gain his trust quickly. He was going outside ,eating and playing with toys. The older Dane was receiving his own attention and playtime. We came home to happy dogs, clean house and delicious cookies. I’m already booking with her again. She’s a gem!”


“Heather was a godsend! I had only had my 1.5 y/o dog for about two weeks before I needed someone to come and stay at the house with her. I sought out Heather on Rover and could not have been happier. She was extremely communicative from the moment I reached out prior to our meeting and greet, until the minute she left my house. She not only provided text updates but also loads of pics from her stay. She was trustworthy and took special care of my dog and the house. I would not hesitate to book Heather again, and very likely will soon! Thank you Heather for giving me peace of mind while I was out of town. :)”

“Kayla is a great pet sitter and has house sat for me on multiple occasions. Kayla has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, always sending picture and video updates. Kayla is also SO mindful of our space, making sure to keep it tidy and in order while we are gone.”

“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

“Sylvie made time to do a trial overnight with our nervous pup and she did great with him! Highly recommend her if you are searching for a reliable pet sitter you can trust.”
“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Absolutely wonderful! Allie was an amazing dog/housesitter during our 5 day vacation. We came home to a spotless house and very happy dog. Allie was extremely responsive throughout the entire booking process and communicated with updates regularly during our trip. We will for sure be requesting Allie’s help again!”

“Erin is by far one of the best people you can book. Period. My dog loves her and she is amazing to work with. She constantly sends updates and pictures of my dog when I'm away. Whenever I have her house sit, it's almost like nobody ever stayed over. She is very tidy to the point where I question if she even stayed 😂. Whenever I go on vacation Erin is my first and only Rover that I would want to book. If I could rate her 6 stars, I would!”
“Maciyah is fantastic! She is so sweet and caring. She always takes the best care of our girl, Nala! She sends pictures, is super communicative and just a wonderful sitter! We will always use her whenever we go out of town!”

“Emily was amazing. Taking care of two dogs including a puppy is no easy task. We appreciated the many pictures and updates. The house was kept really tidy and clean too. We’d definitely recommend her”

“Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs!! She stayed at our home while we went out of town and dealt with our 1 year old golden retriever, 6 year old golden retriever, and my parents 16 year old mix breed. She took amazing care of all 3 dogs even though they didn’t make it easy on her at times. She kept our house clean as well which was a huge bonus. Emily kept us updated throughout our trip with updates and lots of cute photos. We truly appreciate her caring for our fur babies and can’t wait to use her again in the future. It’s so important to find someone you trust who cares about your pets as much as you do, Emily is definitely that person. You won’t regret hiring her to watch your pets!”

“Amalie is amazing! This was our second time using her and we have already booked her for our next trip away! The house was left incredibly clean and Isla is always so happy while we’re away! It’s so nice having the peace of mind while we travel, Thanks Amalie!”

About: I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats as well as smaller pets like hamsters and fish, so caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I currently live with three cats and am very comfortable with feline routines, personalities and special needs. I also have experience with small and large dogs; from growing up with a Chihuahua to caring for an American Bulldog, so I understand how different sizes and temperaments require different approaches. I am attentive, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. I currently work Tuesday-Saturday in the afternoons (typically from 3:30pm-8pm with the occasional later nights). I am available in the mornings for check-ins, quality time, play time, feedings, and walks and I'm happy to help pets start their day calmly and on a schedule. I communicate clearly if my evening availability changes and always prioritize routines and consistency for the pets in my care. Safety, trust and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your home so pets can stay in a familiar environment, keeping their routines consistent and minimizing stress. I follow all feeding, walking and care instructions closely, maintain a clean and calm space, and pay attention to details to ensure your pets safety and well-being. My goal is to make both you and you pet confident and relaxed while you're away.
About: Hi, we're both animal lovers who grew up with great pups! Theresa grew up with golden retrievers (Magellan and Rowan) and A.K. grew up with an Old English Sheepdog (Seymour). We both have experience with dogs from puppy to senior. Growing up, A.K. also dogsat for multiple families in his neighborhood. Theresa is a runner and would love to (with your permission) take your dog for a fun walk, jog, or adventure to the dog park. If your pup is more of a couch potato, A.K. will be their best friend. Our friends and family have lots of dogs so we're comfortable and familiar interacting with various breeds of dogs (Pugs, Poodles, Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Bernedoodles just to name a few). **We require a 2 night minimum for bookings besides for repeat clients** We both have some flexibility to work from home and are organized, diligent, and honest. Due to the nature of our careers and just having built a house we know how key customer service, safety, and communication are and we're always available by phone, email, text, app, etc. Our home is close to Midtown and Downtown Detroit and we designed it with our future dog(s) in mind! We have a dog wash in our mud room, a fenced in back/side yard, and a dedicated lit, sleeping/crate space on the 1st floor under the stairs (kinda like Harry Potter!) Our home has central air and all flooring is tile so any fluffy dogs will stay cool during the warmer months.
“Randi stayed with our little guy over a long weekend and did a great job. She was super communicative and sent lots of pics. Came home to a happy healthy doggo! Highly recommended”

Sarah did an amazing job with our kitties! She sent us thorough updates, was amazing at picking up on their little quirks and personalities, and gave them lots of play time which we know they love! We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in good care while we were gone ❤️

Kate was THE BEST as a housesitter/animal caregiver. My job was complex: I have multiple inside cats and regularly feed feral cats on my front porch. In addition, I have a rescue dog who can have emotional issues as well as recovering from a recent injury. Kate handled everything as I would have. Her frequent updates and photos showed me my babies-relaxed, obviously content/loved. I came home to a spotless house and my animals happy to see me, but not frantic for attention. I’m so grateful to have found Kate & will use her services whenever I travel again.

Elizabeth is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever used. I was able to go away for a weekend on short notice and know without a doubt my 2 dogs were in the best hands. She sent me lots of updates and plenty of cute pictures while I was away. She asked all the right questions if anything came up. I also came back to a clean house which was a huge plus. She was able to handle our crazy 1.5 year old golden and keep our 6 year old golden very happy. You could genuinely tell they enjoyed their time with her just from the photos. Would definitely use Elizabeth again and can’t thank her enough!! If you are looking for a well qualified dog sitter who truly cares about your pet as if they are her own, look no further.
