About: I've had dogs of my own in the past! All of my dogs loved me and I have taken care of my friends dogs, pups! I am available after my current job. I dont have a car so I can scooter to your house. I may not answer ASAP so bear with me. I am very good with animals. They tend to enjoy being around me. My parents and people around me call me the animals whisperer lol.
About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have availablility all summer for walks, potty breaks, and puppy help. Would love to help! I’m a teacher so I will be home and available all summer. I have a lot of flexibility to help with whatever a pet owner may need. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old female labrador. Our household has 5 people and all over the age of 18.
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: Growing up in a ranch in Arizona with five dogs (including two great Danes and one Doberman) and eight horses I started caring for animals at a young age. Oral medication or injections are ok, diabetic dogs okay too. I've personally rescued two dogs in Detroit and still have one, Harper, a Staffordshire mix. I love all breeds and do not discriminate. Have a hyper dog? I'll run your buddy all over town along side my bike. Your best friend will get all the same love and care that you give them. Overnight stays will be full of fun and lots of walks. Daytime visits will always be nice long walks with visits to local parks and shopping areas for maximum socialization and puppy excitement.
About: I always wanted a dog growing up, and before our family got our own, I would walk, play with, and take care of neighbors’ dogs, and it only made me love them more! I’ve also cared for roommates’ dogs and cats, and have experience with some of the less-fun things like giving pills and medications when necessary. I do work a standard job from 9 to 5, so I would be available to petsit, check-in, or walk on evenings and weekends. If the location works out, I could do check-ins on the lunch hour as well! While I’m not able to have pets over to my home, I am very respectful of others’ homes and spaces, and I recognize the importance of routine in pet care, so I do my best to keep pets happy and healthy and give them the attention they need when you’re not able to!
About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.
About: When I was about 12 years old I made my cat a comfortable space to have her babies and every since then I became obsessed with nurturing and taking care of all animals. I have a great time with dogs and I take care of my mother’s dog when she’s not home. Pet care is be a great necessity for my daily routine, mostly because it makes me happy to take care of others and because it will give me the opportunity to be active more. Also, it gives me an advantage of taking care of my own dog/pet. Providing Top-notch pet care is a goal that I strive to achieve everyday. Doing my best while also catering to the animal and needs from owner.
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.
“Emma is AMAZING!! My boys love the time they spend with her! So happy we were able to reconnect with her! My one dog immediately knew her and the other instantly liked her! She’s very good with them and has great attention to detail! Absolutely recommend her!”
About: Playing, walking, and pet sitting , I've cared for friend's and family's dogs and cats for several years. Big and small, old and young-- I love all breeds. My current schedule is very flexible. I can be available for your pet any day or time of the week! Need a midday drop-in? I'm your girl! I always like to do a meet and greet with parent and pet to gain trust and familiarity with you before leaving your pet with a stranger for the first time. At the meet and greet we can discuss your pet's needs and my duties as a caretaker. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water. I like to encourage them to play, give plenty of attention, and make sure they use the bathroom while I'm checking in.
About: I worked at a pet resort for 4 years where I gained experience with basic grooming & medication administration, including insulin injections. During my time there, I floated around from front desk, grooming, group play, and kennel attendant. We mostly took care of cats and dogs; however, we also had a few bunnies, guinea pigs, a bird, and even a fish stay with us! I enjoy taking care of and loving any and all kinds of animals! I am comfortable taking care of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In my personal life, I currently have a 4 year old husky mix, a 11 month old german shepherd mix, and a 6 year old tuxedo cat. In my spare time I enjoy teaching the dogs new tricks or cuddling with the cat. I am not currently working, so I have plenty of time to play with your loved pet! I would love to spoil your pet as much as possible! I will treat each and every pet like they are my own. They deserve every ounce of love they can get! I will respect the pets boundaries and follow any instructions needed while making sure everyone stays happy and healthy!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.
About: Hi my name is Sarah, and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old daughter, who is great with dogs and always gets so excited when we get new dogs, and always loves when we see them again. we definitely are an animal loving family! I've always had dogs growing up, and watched my mom's dog anytime she's out of town. My husband also loves dogs and he loves to play with them. I've been doing rover now for 3 years and I love getting to know different types of dogs and meeting new people! We have a fenced in yard that is a pretty decent size to run around and burn there energy, and I normally will always go out with them as well to throw some toys around and watch them run around. We are not always able to give them walks but we try our best especially if the weather is nice. We enjoy getting fresh air as well. But either way I let them run out in the back! I am always taking photos, and will send you as many updates as you'd like. Your dog will always get love and attention here. Like I said I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is super flexible. We always will treat your dog like family. If you let them sleep with you on your bed, most likely we will too! Whatever routine you have for them, I will too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Farms
Peyton was absolutely wonderful! I’m so thankful she was able to help me when I needed it the most. She was incredibly sweet and kind, both to me and to Georgia, and I felt so comfortable having Georgia in her care. She kept me updated constantly and sent me lots of pictures, which I absolutely LOVE because being able to see Georgia while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. 🥹 She took such great care of her, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Georgia too! She was so easy and fun to work with, and I had such a great experience with her. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. I’m so grateful for all her help! ❤️🐶
Danny was a home run pick for our very high energy rescue dog. He communicated every step of the way leading up to the first visit and took our boy on his very first three mile run. Best decision ever. You can tell how much he loves animals and they respond in kind. Looking forward to the next visit.
We’ve been so happy to find Caelan! She communicates fast and friendly, is reliable, and has given us great peace of mind knowing our new energetic pup is getting activity through the day. She is attentive to our doggos needs and has gone above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her more in the future!
