“Jeannette has been incredible with our two kitties, Biscuit and Beignet. She has sent so many pictures showing them receiving so much love and being so excited she was there, which have alleviated any of our guilt for leaving them home alone while we went on vacation. Benny has only been adopted for a couple of months and is typically very skittish around new people and he immediately warmed up and wanted pets and to sit with Jeannette. Thank you so much for taking care of our boys!”
About: I grew up taking every opportunity I could to care for and spend time with my neighbors' dogs and had a family dog for 6 years. I have experience with administering oral and topical medications, as well as with treating minor wounds and infections. I also volunteer regularly at the Humane Society which has given me extra experience with dogs with trauma or disabilities, and senior or unsocialized dogs. I'm currently only working in-person during the evenings Monday-Thursday. Other than that I'm mostly working from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I unfortunately don't have a yard or lots of room in my apartment but I live only a short walk from a dog park, which I'd be able to visit regularly. I mostly work from home so I'm able to give frequent walks and snuggles!
“Breanna really cared about our elderly cat so he was well cared for. She administered his medication on time and accurately. I will definitely book her for future trips!”
“Randi always does a great job caring for our three cats when we go out of town. They are always happy and well-taken care of when we get back. Highly recommend Randi for petsitting!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job with Agustín. I was a bit nervous because we hadn’t left him alone in quite some time. Agustín is shy, but when he met Stephanie, he felt comfortable and safe. She is very caring, sends timely messages, and definitely took great care of him during our absence. I cannot recommend her enough!🤍”
About: I grew up with three cats and help train dogs through the Leadershape! Now I typically share my dog sitting assistance with my friends (for free even!) although I don’t have pets in my own all animals will find a warm welcoming home here I’m currently working full-time, but I work in the evenings and come home on my breaks so plenty of time to check in on our furry friend during the work week I live in an apartment that has a fenced in yard for dogs and a neighborhood park nearby. I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!
“My kitties appreciate Chetoya’s visits. They’re super shy but will come peek out and eat when they see her❤️❤️ She is responsible and always responds quickly. Thank you!”
“Lauren was amazing with our meet and greet with my little nervous pitty! She put him and me at ease immediately - definitely looking forward to booking with her again”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. I work part time on a flexible schedule and can easily fit most visit schedules into my day. I take the time to earn an animal’s trust, and go at a speed they’re comfortable with. If your animal wants me to pet and lay with them and brush them and play with them or anything else, I’m there! If your pet is more lowkey or independent, I check in on them and make sure they have everything they need. I look to care for your specific pet, not just check in and call it a day.
About: I am an all-around animal lover but I love dogs for their sweetness and playfulness. I’m a soccer fan, lover of music and love to spend time outside. I have experience with both small and medium size dogs. This includes walking, playing, bathing, feeding and dog-sitting. I even have some experience with puppies. I am a small person so I prefer not to walk large dogs. Good physical and mental health are important aspects to maintain in life. Adequate amount of exercise and play time are necessary in a dog's daily routine. I hope to meet and give your furry companion the care they need while you're away. After all, dogs are more than pets, they are part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. I am a full time artist and business owner. Being my own boss allows me to have a flexible schedule. It’s important for me to incorporate movement and fun into my daily life and there’s no better way than to spend time with animals by taking walks and playing. I like to have a clear understanding of an animal’s routine. Sticking to predictable routines are good for their nervous systems. For walking services, I like to go on calm, enriching walks. I’m down for detours and all the sniffing and sometimes I like to finish a walk with a short race back to the house. I ensure that they are hydrating and have everything they need before leaving and locking up. For house stays, I like to spend as much time with animals as they like. Most of my experience is with overnight stays. I am very clean and organized and make sure to do a nice reset for your return home.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs. As well as rescued cats and dogs from the streets. I’ve had many animals, from goldfish, to parakeets, to cats! I’m currently taking summer classes, but I can make time for pet walking or sitting! It brings me joy so it’s always a fun time. I used to pet sit for my friend whilst she was away on vacation. I would visit in mornings and evenings to feed, entertain, and walk her dog around the neighborhood!
About: I’ve always had a special fondness for animals ; my first word as a baby was “Maggie” , which is the name of our golden retriever who would live to be 17 years old. Guided by buddhist philosophy, my love for fuzzy mammals has expanded outward to include all living things & has to approach even the most difficult situations gently & with empathy. In the years preceding my “Eureka!” Moment of wanting to become a trainer, i worked as a walker & sitter for 3 years in NYC at a place called brooklyn bow wow and later worked for a trainer named Daniel Nogueira for another 2 years. Periodically we would have workshops with Mark Bennett (CPDT-KA) which informed my ability to improve leash behaviors & develop a behavioral modification strategy of positive reinforcement (most domesticated dogs do not respond well to negative feedback ; they don’t understand why they are being yelled at! 🥹) Eventually I had to eschew the dream job to take on a better-paying gig to pay my astronomical rent, which sucked, so my instincts all led me back to the midwest to continue pursuing my goal of becoming a certified trainer. I have all of the availabilty currently! I do freelance work & make my own schedule, so i’m plenty flexible & available to spend quality time with furry friends. I very much enjoy using the excuse to get outside & get some exercise. I have a big wide open loft space for moderate zooming & places for beds & toys. I can divide the place into 4 different rooms in case they get too worked up and need some separate time away from eachother
About: I’m out on my feet every day, exploring both city streets and neighborhood paths, and bringing dogs along for the adventure is the best part of my routine. I joined Rover as a way to meet more people in my community :) Pet care fits naturally into the way I already move through the world. Every dog I walk gets a route and pace tailored to them, because each animal has very different needs, and both deserve a great walk. You can count on me to show up, pay attention, and treat your pets like the priority they are. I am currently working part time in Ferndale and Oak Park, available on weekends as well for pet care and dog walking! I love meeting my neighbors. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pet, with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog’s routine is there for a reason, and I stick to it. Feeding schedules, rest time, the way they like their walk to end, I pay attention to the details you share and follow through on them. Consistency is what keeps pets calm when their person isn’t home, and I take that seriously. I’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. No news isn’t always good news, I’d rather you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My own space is calm and pet-free, so when I’m with your dog, my full attention is on them. No competing animals, no chaos, just a quiet, lowkey presence that lets anxious or sensitive dogs settle in comfortably. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays happy, and you stay informed. That’s the standard I hold myself to every visit.
About: From a young age I have enjoyed taking care of pets and watching them grow. My own dog I raised from a puppy as a kid and my cat I care for now have taught me how close to the heart pets are kept. Many friends have trusted me with their cats and dogs to ensure they receive proper guardianship while they are away from home. It is an enjoyable experience for us both I currently work from home and have plenty of flexibility for bookings. On the days that I don’t work I have open availability for bookings as well From my experience in taking care of pets, I always make sure the door to your home is kept closed and locked. When we go outside for walks I always double check the security of the leash and collar. If there are specific care instructions I make sure to review them carefully, and I will never hesitate to reach out if I am unsure about anything

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hamtramck stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Hamtramck 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.

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.
