“We were in a pinch to find someone to let our dogs out. Jenaya responded in a timely manner and even come over to meet our pups beforehand. Jenaya provided medications to one of our dogs who tends to have a difficult time taking his medications with no issues. Jenaya always communicated with us throughout her time spent with our pups. I would highly recommend her!”
“Katherine took great care of my kitty while I was out of town. She provided me with daily updates, including photos. I could tell from the photos that my kitty enjoyed Katherine’s visits. I would absolutely hire her again.”

I am very flexible with my schedule especially during the summer so feel free to reach out!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have pet sit for many friends throughout the years as well as taken care of my own dogs!

“Tami was awesome! I've never left my dogs with anyone before so I didn't know how they would be. I felt super comfortable leaving them in Tami's care. She's friendly and Sweet. Both nights the dogs curled up with her to sleep with no problem. She made going away less stressful. I will definitely have her over to stay with my dogs again. I also appreciated that she texted us right back when we texted her. Thanks Tami!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. At just 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog-washing service because I genuinely enjoyed caring for them. Today, I share my life with my senior dog, Buddy, who has a calm temperament and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether they’re playful puppies or relaxed seniors, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.

Ranging from diabetic cat shots to daily medication and massages for senior dogs with hip and muscle problems.

Paris always does such a wonderful job with our pets. We were able to travel for the weekend with confidence knowing that they were in her care. She is so communicative, leaves great notes, and is able to take care of all of our pets’ special needs (meds, eye drops, dietary needs, etc) with no problem at all. All of our pets love Paris!!
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!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Woods 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
