About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, with 7 years of experience caring for dogs. While I don’t have a dog of my own I have two bunnies I adore and, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets for friends and family, gaining experience with various breeds and temperaments. From puppies to senior dogs, I’m skilled in providing personalized care, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I am a recent college grad with a BFA in Fashion Design and Merchandising from Wayne State University. I am currently living in Grosse Pointe Michigan. I as I am a part time nanny, have a relatively flexible schedule, so depending on what your pet’s needs are I would love to accommodate and be of service to you and your pet.🫶 Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I ensure pets are always supervised, and I tailor the care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m mindful of your pet’s routine and create a safe, cozy space for them to feel at ease. With my flexible schedule and experience, I’m able to offer attention and care that’s both nurturing and reliable, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We just used Steven & Linda for the first time and everything was great! We did a meet & greet in advance because our small dog is a little jerk with strangers. They were on time, sent pictures, and gave an update about how the visit went. Appreciate the drop in visit!”

“Jules was great with mochi! This was his first sitter, and I could tell from the pics that mochi was very happy and comfortable with Jules. Jules was also great with communication and very accommodating.”

About: My name is Amanda and I helped train multiple dogs growing up and a natural with all animals. I have a profound connection with dogs and love getting out in nature to explore! Hopefully your pup and I can have plenty of adventure together to ease how much they miss you ~ happy to send photo/video updates about their day or share about our activities while you were away. I truly want a dog of my own but can’t justify it given my affinity for travel, so joined Rover to foster connection with some amazing creatures and care for them as if they were my own! I promise you will be greatly pleased with the level of care and attention for your sweet baby. Thank you for entrusting me with their emotional and physical well-being! I typically aim for 2-3 walks a day depending on the heat, but if only 2 walks I try to tire them out and keep them busy! I prefer to have a crate for the dog for when I leave the house, but otherwise intend to spend much of my time with them

I am able to go on walks, play, etc. I will ensure your dog is well loved and cared for. I am reliable and organized and will care for your dog as if it were my own. I have a strong connection with animals and truly enjoy being around dogs. I’m currently working part time and I’m a stay at home mom.

About: I am a loving, kind person. If I could I would save the entire pet kingdom. Some people say I am a dog whisperer. I’ve been taking care of my furry friends since I was a little girl. Your pet will be treated as if it was mine. I will make sure to provide the best care and protect your baby the best possible way. I am a proud owner of a Mini Aussie - Koda and a Black Cat - Joe. Few years ago I said goodbye to my best trio ever. They were all senior doggies. First I’ve lost Koko (17 years old Maltipoo), second heartbreak was 13 years old Pitbull - Woofy, third 15 years old Chihuahua - Choochoo ! All were the most important furry babies ever! I will always carry this horrible hole in my heart after the BIG loss. I’ve decided to join Rover to fulfill my purpose of helping others with their loved ones as best as I can, so we both know they are in good hands while you are busy with your obligations. I am here for you and for them. I understand how important our four legged friends are, and I will make sure we are all happy at the end of the busy day. We can go for long walks, we can stay home, we can relax or play! Whatever it takes for you and your pet to be comfortable and completely satisfied. I am here to help! I have plenty of time since I’ve moved back to Michigan and looking for a job. I know I would be happy to do something I love, which is taking care of your furry friend (s). I have a fenced large backyard. I have a cat and a dog. They are both extremely friendly. If needed they can be separated from a pet I do take care of.
About: I'm vibrant, happy, loving playful woman. I was a dog owner for 15 years to Giorgio. My favorite Maltese. He was my best buddy a woman could ask for. Our favorite time together was bath time. Well for me not him. He didn't enjoy it too much. When it was done I groomed him and blow-dried him and sometimes gave him a trim. He was a patient little boy but his favorite time was when it was all done I'd put him down and he'd rub his butt on the floor and run around the room. He'd get a treat right after. We would take a nice nap after. Miss my little guy so much. He was the best dog. Blessed to have had him. I dog sit in homes for small dogs. I can stay in your home for drops or long term dog house sitting. I’m an active person so I can do pretty much anything with your dogs. Walking, dog parks, hanging out at home, feeding time, naps, and bedtime routine. I do it all with love and patience. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I make my own time so pet sitting and care will comfortably fit into my schedule I listen and follow the pet owners directions and use my best judgement and experience with each dog. They are individual so care looks different for breeds. I will do what I can to keep your dog safe.
About: Hello Pet Parents! My name is Nia, and I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I truly see dogs as family. I bring that same love, attention, and care to every pup I meet. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same attention and affection I give my own. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and ability levels, and I always aim to provide personalized care tailored to each pup’s unique needs. Please feel free to share all the details about your dog so I can provide the best experience possible. I currently have one fur baby, Ice, a two-year-old American Eskimo. She’s a sweet companion who loves having furry friends around—she’ll happily match their energy, whether that means being playful and active or calm and relaxed. Comfort & Care: Every dog in our care receives wonderful, personalized attention. We provide extra beds, bowls, feeding mats, blankets, and treats to make them feel right at home. Our large, fully fenced yard provides plenty of space for running, playing, and exploring safely. Pups also have full access to roam our home as they would their own, and we can provide separate feeding and sleeping areas to ensure each dog has their own safe, comfortable space. In addition to playtime and exercise, we love providing mental stimulation with toys, training reinforcement, and interactive activities to keep tails wagging. Requirements & Policies: Proof of Vaccinations: All pets must be up to date and vaccinated by a licensed vet before moving forward with the booking process. Required vaccinations include: *Rabies *DHPP/DHLPP combo (includes Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Leptospirosis, and Parainfluenza) *Bordetella (Kennel Cough) *During summer months, pets must also be on a flea/tick preventative. Boarding Capacity: I am a low-capacity boarder, caring for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time. This ensures each pup receives individualized attention while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. For the safety and happiness of all guests, it’s important that your dog is friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Meet & Greet: A meet and greet is required for all bookings. This allows me to get to know your pup, observe how they interact with my dog, and ensure I’m the right fit for their needs. All meet and greets take place at my home at no extra cost. Once your time is confirmed, I’ll provide the address on the day of the meeting. Behavioral Restrictions: I am unable to accommodate dogs with the following: *Excessive marking, barking, or whining *Severe separation anxiety *Females in heat *Escape artists *Destructive or aggressive behaviors (including resource guarding) *Dogs who are not house-trained *Dogs with aggression toward people, children, or other animals *Dogs with contagious illnesses, fleas, or parasites *Dogs who are extremely reactive to other dogs or strangers *Dogs who require extensive medical care or frequent medication administration beyond standard oral or topical treatments *Dogs with biting history or unpredictable behavior Please note: My puppy rate will be applied to any adult dog that exhibits any of the behaviors listed above if they were not disclosed prior to the start of boarding. Property Damage: Compensation will be requested from the pet owner for any destruction of the sitter’s property caused by the dog. Food & Supplies: Please bring enough food to last the entirety of your dog’s stay, considering possible flight delays, cancellations, or emergencies. Please provide detailed food instructions in case I need to purchase more. Pet parents are responsible for any additional food costs if needed. Booking Notice: I am unable to accept last-minute or same-day bookings, as all dogs require a meet and greet prior to their stay to ensure they are comfortable and a good fit. Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs: Pick-ups and drop-offs are typically between 7 AM and 10 PM. Any pickups after 10 PM will be scheduled for the following day. If you need a different time, just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate on a case-by-case basis whenever possible. Family Support: My husband also assists with the care of all dogs in our home. He treats every pup with the same compassion, love, and plenty of cuddles that I provide. He is usually present for meet and greets, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet him and see the care your dog will receive firsthand. Communication: I love keeping pet parents updated! I can provide photos, videos, and messages during your dog’s stay so you can see how much fun they’re having. I am excited to meet you and your pup! Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. We can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home! I am currently working a full-time hybrid job. Some days I am fully at home, while others I am out in the field, but I am rarely away for more than 4–5 hours at a time. I always make time to return home to care for my own pet, and your dog will be included in that same attentive routine. I do have cameras set up throughout the home, so I can check in on and even talk to your dog throughout the day, providing reassurance and keeping an eye on their well-being. Please note: I am not able to accommodate pets that require constant, intensive care or supervision, as I want to ensure I can provide safe, high-quality attention to every dog in my care. I provide loving, personalized care for every dog in my home. They enjoy cuddles, walks, playtime in our large fenced yard, and full access to explore safely. I care for no more than 4–5 dogs at a time, and I use cameras to check in and interact with them throughout the day.

About: About me—I absolutely love all dogs. There’s nothing like coming home to kisses and a wagging tail! I have had Dalmatians for the past 20 years. I lost my Miss Dottie about a month ago. She was 14. I’m not ready for another forever furbaby, but I miss couch cuddling and walks around the neighborhood. I promise your furbaby will be spoiled! I am looking primarily for long weekends, Friday-Monday. I can maximize time at home with this schedule. I am open to extended stays (military, longer vacations, etc). Last minute requests are ok—life happens! I am comfortable with crating during the day or leaving your furbaby open to roam the family room and kitchen. Back yard play and a walk everyday. Kisses, cuddles, and of course a treat or two. I only accept dogs in my home that have been spayed/neutered. Please contact me before booking. I would like to talk/meet before confirming. Daily rate is for a 24-hour period. Additional fee for time outside of the 24-the period. Drop-off/pick-up available with additional fee.
“Danielle is amazing. She takes such great care of our dogs. She spends individual time with them. It makes us feel better while we are at work to have the dogs in her care.”

“Thank you for letting my pup out while I was away. It's a comforting to know that she care enough to let me know that my central air turned off and my pup was in a hot house. I walked her through the steps on to turn the air back on and she stayed with her for a little bit longer to make sure the house got cooler. I would definitely recommend her because she truly cares about your pets.”

“Nicole is wonderful with our dogs! She takes excellent care of both our puppy and senior pup. It gives us so much peace of mind while we're at work knowing that they have such a kind and compassionate caregiver stopping by. She is flexible and accommodating when our schedules change. I highly reccomend her services!”
About: Hi! My name is Kara and I am a recent graduate from Central Michigan University- Fire up! I just moved to Madison Heights and work in Royal Oak. My goal after finding a full-time job was to get my own fur baby, but unfortunately dogs are very expensive and do not fit into my finances at the moment. :( I LOVE dogs, my college roommate had a lab/pit mix and I was infamously known as chew toy lady. He’s so strong that no one would want to play tug of war with him, but I always would, even when it felt like he was going to rip my arm out of its socket. 😂 my family has always had dogs growing up (we had three at one point)! Being new to the area, I have a lot of free time outside of my job and would love to get into dog sitting and dog walking... another perk is I am a runner, so I can even take your super energetic doggo on a run with me! Please don’t be afraid to reach out!
About: I've enjoyed taking care of and keeping pets for as long as I can remember. I have had good experience in talking care of and walking all kinds of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and family. In the past, my family had bred Golden Doodles, and I've been able to help with taking care of the puppies, training them, and keeping up with our 4 year old and 1 year old Doodles. I'm currently working as a Elementary/High School music teacher, however I am flexible after school ends most days, so I would be able to work around taking your pets on walks, taking them out for bathroom breaks, and/or having play time with them during the afternoon or evening. I am available from 4-10 on weekdays and will work weekends if needed. I cater to the needs of you and your pet in any way possible! I cannot offer my home for pet sitting as I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, however I am completely willing to take care of your pet at your own home while entirely respecting you, your privacy, your pet, and your home.

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: Hi, I’m Megan — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet care provider based in beautiful East English Village. I live with my two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other calm, respectful pups. I provide a personalized, low-volume boarding experience from my home, where your dog becomes part of our little pack. My services are designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. I only board one guest dog at a time, ensuring constant supervision, individual attention, and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, a walk while you’re at work, or overnight care, I treat every animal like one of my own — with affection, patience, and professional care. I provide updates with every visit, and I’m happy to accommodate custom routines, feeding schedules, and medication administration when needed. Let’s schedule a free meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life — I structure my routine around it. With two dogs of my own, I’m already up early for walks, feeding, and snuggles. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit my boarding and walking services to just a few clients at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full focus without being overbooked or rushed. Whether I’m doing a drop-in visit, hosting a pup overnight, or stopping by for a midday walk, I plan my calendar so your pet gets reliable, unrushed, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in yours. BOARDING AT MY HOME: When boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment by only accepting one guest dog at a time. This allows me to give each pet plenty of individual attention and supervision throughout the day. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to having guests and do best with other well-mannered pups. I take time to carefully introduce everyone, and I require a meet-and-greet prior to first-time bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up with cozy resting areas, a large and securely fenced outdoor space, and plenty of enrichment opportunities like walks, playtime, and snuggles. I also follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible to make their stay feel familiar and reassuring. FOR DROP INS I aim to maintain your pet’s routine in their own environment, minimizing disruption and providing consistent care. I refresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and always leave your home secure and tidy. I also provide visit updates with photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Building trust through consistent, compassionate care is what I do best. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, they’ll be treated like family.

Hannah does an awesome job visiting my high maintenance Doberman puppy. I always book last minute. She is very reliable, ethical, and has been a lifesaver for our family a number of times. I have full trust in her taking care of my dog and highly recommend her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Grosse Pointe Shores stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Grosse Pointe Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Grosse Pointe Shores with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
