About: I have over 30 years of experience in caring for my personal furr family members and professionally. I've become fluent in everything from dog groans, goat cuddles, cat-titudes, to bathing geese. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and you know they are safe. I bring with me a love for animals, and a respect for your wishes. Pets are our chosen family and I will treat such "work" with absolute professionalism. I work a flexible schedule that is best for you and your pet. Keeping your pet on the schedule you desire is of great importance. Although I prefer to spend time with your pet in its know environment, your home, I am open to cat and dog friendly visitors. I can provide a safe environment for them with a secure backyard and pet safe home. I keep my home safe and clean and will provide that in your home as well. Walks, runs, cuddles, play and naps are throughly enjoyed!

About: I've been a dog owner most of my life and also have two grand dogs and a grand cat who I care for often. I'm experienced with any age, any sized dog and regularly walk two dogs at a time. When can we meet? I'm looking for a way to meet more dogs when away from my grand dogs and want to walk / and exercise more while providing a trustworthy option for your pet(s)! Inclement weather doesn't matter if your pet doesn't mind it. I'm already an experienced and trusted house sitter, plus dog and cat sitter (and can care for houseplants & yards too). I'll respect your privacy and care for your home & pets like I would my own. I'll provide updates and photos to put you at ease. I truly understand that your pets are your children.

About: I’ve been tasked with caring for family dogs including walks since I was 10, ranging in size from little chihuahuas to large golden doodles. I have ample experience with pets that have specific dietary needs and medications. I know how to handle reactive dogs on walks, keeping them and others safe even in high stress moments. I live in Jefferson Chalmers and work part time, so I can accommodate your schedule. I’m in north Detroit and South Oakland & Macomb county frequently as well. I am happy to follow access instructions and care for your pets from the comfort of their home. Upon the first meeting, I make myself quiet and comfortable in a pet’s home so they are in charge of our meet and interaction. Between shy cats and reactive dogs, I’ve learned how to foster safe environments for all kind of pets. I hope to build relationships with pets so you can have more peace of mind leaving them in my care!

“We would highly recommend Meghan for anyone in need of a sitter! She took great care of our pup and sent us plenty of updates while we were out of town. She was always willing to go above and beyond and check in on our pup as needed. Meghan is kind, responsive, and will care for your pet as if he/she were her own!”


“I was in a last minute pinch for a weekend trip and Josh came through. Josh took great care of my two pets and made sure they were well taken care of and loved. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a sitter.”



About: ***PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE PRIOR TO MESSAGING/BOOKING :)*** *HAS FULL TIME JOB *DOES NOT ALLOW PETS IN BED AT NIGHT DURING DOG BOARDING- PETS EITHER NEED TO BE BED OR CRATE TRAINED OR COMFORTABLE SLEEPING IN ANOTHER SPACE ALONE. *MAY ASK FOR MEET & GREET PRIOR TO BOARDING *REQUIRES VET RECORDS FOR BOARDING *DOGS ARE KEPT SEPARATE TO START & AS NEEDED — my dogs are 50/50 with other dogs and are typically kept separate to start. My house has ample space to separate dogs if need be, but still allow for comfortability. Both my dogs are comfortable with different personalities. I judge on a case by case bases if it is safe to allow any boarded dog to meet my dogs. --- My name is Samantha & I have watched after animals for as long as I can remember. Whether my parents were going out of town or friends needed someone to watch their pup while they went away, I was always the girl they would call! I’ve had 8 dogs, 2 cats, a Guinea pig, and a hamster in my lifetime both growing up and in my adulthood, so it’s easy to say I love animals and enjoy taking care of them! I also continuously foster dogs whenever I am able. I have experience with all sorts of dogs; big and small, medical cases, human reactive dogs, dog reactive dogs, geriatric dogs, and many more! My specialty is boarding dogs that others may stray away from due to behavior concerns. But keep in mind, if I do not believe I am a good fit for your dog or vice versa, I will honest for the betterment of the dog :) I previously volunteered with a dog rescue for 2 years, and have acquired knowledge on force free/fear free positive reinforcement training as well as canine behavior through their certified behavioral specialist. I do have a regular full time job, but no matter my schedule, I make sure I have ample amount of time for walks, play time, and fun. Both my personal dogs and boarded dogs are my number 1 priority. **PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: MY DOGS: I currently have a older dog named Calvin and a younger dog named Belle. Please see their profiles for more individual information. VACCINATIONS: Your pup must be up-to-date on all vet-recommended vaccines, and be free of fleas and ticks, and cannot have any contagious illnesses including kennel cough and intestinal parasites. Please provide your dog's up to date vaccination records upon drop off. This is very important for the safety of my own pup and my other dog guests, thank you for understanding! DROP-OFF/PICK-UP: Please note that I do have a full time job so evening drop off right after work is preferred. This gives me ample amount of time to get your dog acquainted to my me and my house. Hard drop-off and pick-up times please! :) This is easier for both your schedule and mine and doesn’t leave room for misinterpretation. although my work schedule is more rigorous than most dog boarders, due to working full time, my personal and boarded dogs are always my #1 priority. I will treat your dogs the way that I would appreciate any dog sitter to treat mine. I am not around all day, 24/7 like some sitters, but I can promise you they will be loved and cared for the way I care for my own. I board multiple dogs at a time and am familiar with all types of breads and personality traits. I have plenty of room to keep up to 4 or 5 dogs separate from each other but will still allow for plenty of space to roam and feel comfortable.

“Steve and Linda are fantastic. They are responsible, caring and fun with the animals. My dogs loved them from the first meet and greet. Dogs, cat and fish were all very well cared for. Steve and Linda were communicative from the start, and sent updates and photos during their stay. They also went above and beyond in terms of cleaning/household care. I couldn't be happier!”


“Alex housesat for the weekend, watching our Rottweiler, Bennie. She kept us up-to-date with photos. Bennie looked both engaged and comfortable enough with Alex to just relax. Made me feel completely at ease. Will book again. Highly recommend.”


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.

“My boy is a high energy Vizsla & I’ve never left him with someone new so was a little nervous to leave him. Sarah exceeded my expectation! Had last minute meds she had to give him & last minute fence getting put up & she handled it all perfect. Pretty sure Boone likes her more than me now!”


About: Hi! I’m Cori and animals are one of my biggest passions. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I’m looking forward to giving them some fury friends! I have experience with senior dog care and raising puppies. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to love on them while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! I’m hoping to do Rover full time! I have all the time in the world for your fur babies and can work around any schedule. I’m ready to give your pets any exercise and stimulation that they need. I love to take the dogs on walks in the park. I will make sure your pet is treated like my own and given the same attention and care!

“Chloee did an amazing job! Haru is quite stubborn and takes time to trust anyone, but Chloee was very patient with him and took a great care of him while I was away. She was also very responsive, giving me updates as needed. I’m very happy I found Chloee to watch my dog! Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter ☺️ thank you so much, Chloee!”


About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, big or small. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, rats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish! I have experience giving injections and oral meds and I’m super comfortable with doing so. Also, I have experience watching pets post-op, as well as puppies and dogs with anxiety. Pet care can easily fit into my routine as I have 8 hour school days but afternoons free to spend with your pets! I also have some days completely off if you need 24/7 companionship for you pet. Please reach out if your pet is okay alone 8 hours at a time. I can fit you into my schedule as your family needs. I can crate your dog, or let them roam and hang out with me if they are house trained! I am used to having a dog around the house and I hope to make a good companion for them while you’re away! Don’t worry, if they normally sleep in the bed with you, I love dog cuddles!

Cassidy S.
“Cassidy has been taking care of my cats for years and she's great! She does more than just feed them and leave, I always know she'll hang out for a bit and spend time with my cats, which I really appreciate. Especially when I'm out of town for a while, I know that my cats are getting love and socialization in addition to their basic needs being taken care of. One of my cats is very skittish, but Cassidy took the time to earn her trust and win her over which no one else has done. She cares a lot about cats and always has lots of loves to give. I highly recommend Cassidy!”

Elliot was great with both my super-affectionate dog and my relatively shy cats. He was also able to pick up my dog's medication when the vet's office didn't have it ready until after I already left town. It was a relief to have someone like Elliot taking care of my pets when I was far from home!
