About: Starting at age 15, my path to animal care began not only with taking care of family pets but also gradually walking for the local senior housing in my neighborhood. From walks to helping owners administer the less-than-fun medicine, I look forward to helping animals in any way I can. Big lovable Rottweilers to tiny kittens, I’ve cared for them all. I work a 9–5 clerical job, so I have a pretty consistent routine and enjoy having something fun to look forward to outside of work! I like to stay active, whether that’s going for a walk, getting some fresh air, or just getting out of the house. I’d love to have your pet be part of that routine while they’re with me. Whether they’re up for an adventure or prefer to hang out and relax, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day. Whether housing your furry baby in my home, yours or out on a walk, I try to be cautious to keep our environment safe and fun! While on location in other homes I respect privacy and follow any set house rules you have for your animal or me. If we are out and about on a walk I have animals leashed at all times and stay cautious of other animals, and can provide AirTag tracking to make owners feel more at ease.
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.

“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

However, I've been taking care of small dogs and pet-sitting dogs and cats for fam/friends for the last 4 years. I'm a full-time grad student, so aside from evening or afternoon classes, I'm flexible. Morning and/or Evening walking + feeding schedules are no issue. I’m a morning person! I've cared for pets in my own home or their own, and my primary focus is always making sure they are comfortable. Usually, that means trying my best to follow their normal routines.

About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life. Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing. Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, understanding their needs, personalities, and routines. Since I work from home, I have flexibility and availability during the day to provide attentive care and plenty of affection! I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home, so my daily schedule is really flexible. I am available to stay with your pets during the day, or I can easily come over at any point or multiple times a day to check on them. I am also free most weekend I have three cats of my own, so I can't board pets at my house. However, I am more than happy to stay over at your place or do house sittings! Because I work from home, I am available throughout the day for walks or check ins to keep them on their routine
About: Hi! My name is Amalie & I won’t charge an arm and a leg for additional pets :) I’m the daughter of a parent who owned a pet sitting business since I was 4. Due to this, I spent my formative years around all types of animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, snakes, rats, hamsters, chickens and plenty more! Starting in high school my mom‘s clients began asking if I could care for their animals when my mom wasn’t available, especially for overnights and I absolutely loved it. Additionally, I have experience fostering animals through the rescue we got our fur babes from. This, along with having pets growing up, has provided me with a wealth of experience. I have experience with reactive dogs, training techniques, med administration and more. I continued petsitting in college to earn some extra money, and I can’t let it go because I just love pets too much. It also prevents me from adopting too many pets than I can manage, I already have 3 🫣. Sorry for all the bird parents out there, I won’t care for birds as I am afraid of them. 🙃 I work from home the majority of the time so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the care and attention they need! I work from home 90% of the time so my schedule is very flexible! I may run home once a day to give my dogs a walk while my husband is at work. I am happy to to stay in your home to keep your pets company and give them lots of attention! All I need is the Wi-Fi password to allow me to work. :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamtramck
Heather was so great with my boys. One of my boys is very slow and takes his time with all of the smells. He’s older and has leg braces so going at his pace is very important. My other boy is so anxious and scared of everything, especially strangers. She took her time with both of them and didn’t rush or push them. It’s so important with my two rescues that they are treated kindly, exactly the way she treated them.
Jessica came right away when I realized I had a very busy day of work. She took my boys out for an hour, which takes a lot of patience. One is always a nervous wreck and pulls on the leash/ is reactive, while the other is a slow walker and smeller with leg braces- a mix that is usually enough to drive anyone crazy. She did amazing tiring them out for me and I’d hire her again! They just got back, and they are both already asleep!
