“Our extremely shy cat hides from everyone, but actually sits at the door waiting for Evelyn to come over. We’ve had people volunteer to cat-sit for free, but we’d much rather pay Evelyn all the money to be our cats’ best friends when mom and dad are out of town!”
“Amber did a great job caring for our 2 kitties while we were gone for a few days. She sent a ton of pics and nice communication of her drop-ins. Highly recommend!”
“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
“Audrey was beyond amazing with my two kitties. She sent me regular updates and I knew I could rest easy with her being there! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Breanna was great! She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures / videos of my cat. I always get anxious leaving my pet, so I appreciate Breanna bearing with me and staying communicative! Would highly recommend.”
“Lucie was amazing and helped me out massively when I got stuck out of town last minute due to an unexpected family emergency. She stepped right in and took phenomenal care of my girl. She communicated seamlessly and provided amazing updates and photos that ensured I knew Rue was in the best possible hands. Every photo and update was prompt and detailed which completely eased my stress about leaving my pup for so long and showed how happy and comfortable Rue was with Lucie. I’m so incredibly grateful for Lucie and highly recommend hiring her to care for your pup! With Lucie, you can rest assured she will take the absolute best care of your pets!”
About: Dogs are the best. I had a Boston growing up and he was the best. Having a dog taught me a lot. Let that’s experience be beneficial to you! I am currently unemployed so I am available most days. I can drop in mornings, evenings, and nights. I love going on walks so let me take your dog along with me. I treat animals with care and respect. I treat them like they are my own animals. I respect boundaries and want to make the animal feel comfortable
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.
“Kareema is a very warm and welcoming young lady who was able to take my kitties on fairly short notice. She gave me updates and pictures of my happy kitties which helped my anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. My cats were happy and very well attended to under her care. When the time comes that I ever need to have my pets taken care of again, Kareema is my 1st choice. Thank you so much Kareema, Mr. Pickles, Chi-chi Michi, and we appreciate you 😊”
“Brandi was amazing! Absolutely will schedule again. Treated our house and kitties like her own and sent pics and videos every day. My big tabby loved her and even my skittish shelter cats were totally relaxed after a day or two. Brandi really knows how to interact with cats. What a great experience overall!”
“Tammy was great! She followed the directions I gave her to take care of our bunnies for 7 days while we were away. She sent photos and alerted me to any issues she noticed. I would hire Tammy again for any of my pets!”
About: I have always had a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. I am new to Rover, but not new to caring for pets. I am comfortable around both dogs & cats and am always willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I will bring fun, love, and enrichment when caring for you pet. I currently am in a hybrid masters program for Occupational Therapy & work as a substitute in a center based school, which allows for flexibility in my schedule as needed! I am able to bring my school work with me as needed anywhere I go which can allow me to spend more time with your pet. On days that I work, I am able to stop by on lunch breaks. When caring for your pet, I am willing to continue your pets normal routines/schedules to make them the most comfortable (walks, parks, play time, anything!). Also, with a flexible schedule, I am able to follow restricted/specific feeding times if necessary. I am new to caring for pets through Rover, but as a pet owner, I know it can be hard to leave your pet and be away for any amount of time. I will offer consistent and reliable care for your pet, regardless of size, breed, or behavior. If any concerns arise, I will contact you immediately using your preferred method & will be willing to help out in any way possible. I will send daily pictures & updates during each visit!
About: I’ve been a foster family for numerous dogs over the years. I’ve worked with numerous breeds and have been boarding for numerous consistent clients for over a decade. Animals are my deepest passion. Additionally, I have been rescuing domestic ducks for the past few years. Your pet will be loved as if they’re my own. I’ve worked with blind and deaf animals, dogs who pull on a leash, dogs who cannot be around other animals, and more! I currently work part time as a caregiver for special needs adults and children. If I am not home, I am not gone longer than 4 hours. I am in a masters degree program that is fully online so the rest of my week I am at home. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’ve been working with animals all my life and always have an animal in the house. I have boarded and fostered for over 15 years and love to meet new animals and see reoccurring clients. I have a fenced in yard and offer lots of playtime and cuddles. Animals are allowed on the furniture but if you do not prefer that then I absolutely understand. I am more than welcome to crate your pet or not, the choice is yours! I have worked with many animals with behavior concerns and special needs. There is no animal that is too challenging.
About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in the family for years, and still do with two pups of my own. I also work at a veterinary hospital as a vet tech I can tend to emergency situations, post- op care, giving medication’s cleaning bowls regularly, noticing any issues and giving them lots of kisses! I’m comfortable with senior dogs and puppies, and used to foster! I’m also CPR certified! I work 12 hour shifts every other day, so I’m open to weekend stays, days after work and the entire next day, some holidays, vacations. On days I don’t work I can stop by often to play, go for a walk, hang inside/outside or go for a car ride! Depending on your home, I’m comfortable crating if necessary, separating multiple dogs for meals, keeping them calm after eating, not leaving them unattended with toys then can rip apart or anything they can get into, including anything I might have, (shoes, purse, keys). If we go for a walk I will ensure all equipment fits properly so we don’t have any issues.
About: I’ve cared for plenty dogs and cats over the years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, distributing medication, potty breaks, and check-ins. I even have my own love baby . I’m very patient, attentive, dependable. I only accept bookings on days when I’m completely available, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I plan my schedule around each booking so your pet receives consistent care, companionship, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home with the same and or even better respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of various animals big and small since I was young. I have experience with puppies, sick dogs and nervous ones. I have also worked with cats too! I work part-time and go to university. I am a commuter so I’m all over Metro Detroit! While my schedule changes each semester I keep relatively the same structure and availability! I like to maintain a clean environment and keep pets healthy. I have experience administering medication such as pills and I am able to accommodate any special needs of pets :)
“I had such a wonderful experience with Nathan taking care of my cat Golu. From the very beginning, Nathan was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. I was nervous about leaving Golu, especially because he is very attached to me and can be shy around new people, but Nathan made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. Nathan took excellent care of Golu, paid attention to his routine and needs, and treated him with so much love and patience. He kept me updated and made sure I knew how Golu was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m truly grateful to Nathan for taking such great care of Golu. It’s not easy leaving your pet with someone else, but I felt like Golu was in safe and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving cat sitter. Thank you so much, Nathan! ❤️🐾”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Shores
Heather was able to respond to a last-minute request and took fantastic care of our two cats! She was reliable and provided detailed updates and photos and even brought her own toys to keep them entertained while we were gone! We will definitely ask Heather to return again
Mary took fantastic care of our cats. She’s so patient with our shy Gus, who has finally decided that Mary is a-ok. Gino, of course, is her biggest fan. We have zero concerns leaving them both in Mary’s care - she provides great updates and pictures and both boys are well loved while we are gone. We can’t ask for more! Mary also went above and beyond taking in very large packages that came while we were away - it is much appreciated. We already have Mary booked for our next trip!
So happy Jillian was available to do stop ins for our 3 cats. She showed them so much love and care, took care of everything we asked and made sure to send us daily notes and photos. Really appreciate the care which went above and beyond and will absolutely book again down the road.
Jenna provided exceptional service taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I really appreciated the pictures from each of her visits and was impressed with the overall cleanliness - one of my cats is a messy eater! - when I returned. I am so grateful to have met Jenna and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
