“Richard was great with both of our dogs, especially our fearful girl. He was super understanding that she needed a bit of time to warm up. He took great care of our fur babies for the day and was so prompt with messages and arrival time. Thanks again!!”

“We felt very comfortable leaving for our long weekend knowing Katie was with our senior pup. Katie communicated throughout her stay and kept us updated. Our dog, Sally, was happy upon our return and we plan on having Katie stay over again soon!”


“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Very communicative. Sent pics and videos. Took my dog on walks and played with him in the backyard. I felt completely comfortable and happy with having her at my home and with my dog.”

“Nicole did an amazing job with our puppy. She was super responsive and was totally comfortable with tons of instructions for a new pup. She was on time, and sent awesome picture updates. Looking forward to working with Nicole again.”

“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!”

“Hanan took incredible care of Louie during her two-night stay at our home. She kept me updated with photos and check-ins, followed his routine exactly, and left the house spotless when she left. Louie clearly felt safe and loved with her — he was relaxed and happy when I got home. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book Hanan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy in-home sitter!”

“Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!”

“Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“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.”

“Appreciate Erin's communication. First time meeting and using Erin. She stayed at our house to watch our two pups. She took good care of the dogs. Was a great guest. Handled all their needs. Sent photo of the dogs. Appreciated her time!”

“Allie was AMAZING!!!! She took great care of our three big dogs, and also kept the house safe, clean and tidy! Way beyond expectations! She also helped us out in a pinch without a huge amount of notice for a quite long time being away (2weeks plus) … the dogs loved her instantly ~ even Bigsby did not give her his usual side eye that he does with “new” friends. We will definitely ask Allie to stay with us again and we hope she will!!!🥰🐾”

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.
“Heather is an angel in every sense of the word. She is the type of person that restores confidence that there is still kindness and good nature in our world. I received some of the cutest photos of my 11 year old pit bull in complete peace while she was caring for him in our home. She went well above and beyond to care for him, getting extra treats from the store when we ran out and just really being there with him the way I would have if I had been home. I had the most stress free time away with my family because I knew Floyd was in good hands from the moment we did the meet and greet. The house was sincerely spotless when I came home too. I cannot cannot recommend Heather enough!!”
“Emily was a wonderful friend for our pup while we were away. Communication was excellent and the updates (and photos) were fantastic. Knowing our dog was walked and had a kind caretaker gave us peace of mind. We can’t wait for Emily to help again soon.”

“I can't say enough good things about Maciyah! She took care of my dog Vader and did an absolutely amazing job. From the moment I booked her, her communication was top-notch. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending plenty of pictures and videos. Maciyah’s genuine love for dogs really stood out. I felt completely at ease knowing Vader was in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I've been around dogs most of my life, while taking care of 3 of my own. I'm currently training my dog to build a stronger bond. I'm currently working full time and training my dog daily. I have availability on weekends and weekday evenings as needed. Let me know what you're looking for. I will work on building trust with your fur baby, allowing them time to adjust to a new person in their space. I need to know their likes, dislikes, and routine if they have one.
About: I've been around animals all my life. I've babysat animals for neighbors before and I've been a cat owner since I was a teenager. I also volunteered at my local shelter in college. I currently working from home, so I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and crave. I'm available any time and any place. I know a lot about cats and their behavior. For example, play is the best way to bond with a cat. If a cat's tail is down, but the tip is moving, that means the cat is nervous or cautious.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and children for most of my life! I was employed at a daycare for 10+ years while also having been raised with cats, dogs, and a snake. I work 8-5 3 days a week, but am willing to come after work on the days I am in person, during work on the days I work from home, and weekends. I am willing to adjust to whatever is needed/wanted by the clients in regards to caring for their pets! I want to take care of them in the best way/shape/form.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Grixdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
