About: Hello, thank you for viewing my page! I have so much love for dogs and would love to be there for you to care for your fur baby. I grew up with pets (dog and cat), and was a regular dog sitter for 3 families while I lived on the East coast. I moved to Michigan for my husband. Over the years we have shared two dogs together. Sadly, we recently lost our golden to cancer. We have two boys (elementary school aged). We are all dog lovers, and have dog sat for family and friends. Please be assured that I would be the primary caregiver of your dog. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you! I work remotely on Thursdays and Fridays. My commitment is to love on your dog and follow your guidelines to cater to your fur baby! Regular potty breaks and walks for your dog. Our home has a fenced in yard. Dogs are allowed on furniture (as long as you are ok with it!) Lots of play and snuggles!!

“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!”


“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!”


About: I am 24 and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I self train my own dogs.. give baths, trim nails, not only for my own dogs but my friends and family as well. I own big dogs as well as 2 English bulldogs so I am familiar with working with large dogs and dogs that need extra care as well. I’m currently on leave so open to all different days and times. If I am needed last minute I will try my best to accommodate. I have a big yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have multiple crates in house as well as dog bed and toys if needed.

About: I’m a 35-year old mental health therapist that works from home. I took a break from caring for other peoples animals as I had a senior dog of my own that I was caring for that has now passed. I love being around animals and giving them the care and play that they need. I’m currently working from home and work in the afternoon and early evenings. I am also available before and after work for walks or check-in depending on your pets needs. When in a clients home I want your pet to feel comfortable and try to follow their routine as best as I can to help them feel relaxed.

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.

“It was our first time having Megan watch our cat and we were very happy with the experience! She was very personable and great to work with. Her check in reports were very detailed and left us at ease knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to have Megan cat sit for us again!”


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!

About: I've had the pleasure of looking after small to large dogs, each with their own lovely personality - I'd love the opportunity to meet your pup! I offer walks, photo pupdates, vet visits, and meds administered (if needed). I like to keep open communication as that is what I want when my animals are looked after. I work part time so have quite a lot of availability to be with your pup when you need. I can offer morning and evening walks or drop in for a visit! I like to know the lay of the land and receive instructions as to best care for your pup. I am able to crate dogs, adhere to feeding schedules, and offer lots of play!

About: When I was 18, I spent 6 months learning how to train police dogs for narcotic/explosive detection & bite work and civilian dogs for basic obedience & behavioral problems. After that, I moved back to Grosse Pointe and started training civilian dogs for basic obedience & behavioral problems on a referral basis. I now have two children and, while I still take on training clients, dog training usually takes place nights and weekends. While exploring ways I could supplement my income while my kids are at school, I settled on the idea of dog walking during the day. I used to waitress as well as dog train and the constant walking helped me keep in shape, so the idea of getting back to that as well as spending time with dogs and working hours that still allowed me to maintain my commitments as a mom and volunteer at the schools is very appealing. I love meeting new dogs and people and would love the opportunity to walk and care for your best friend! My experience makes me the perfect choice for anyone who is looking for someone reliable with a dog or if you have a pet you're concerned about a stranger being able to handle. Big or small, I can promise that your K-9 will be in trusted and experienced hands with me. Both of my kids are in school. My elementary student is in person and my middle school student homeschools. I've spent the last year increasing my volunteer work to help my family adjust to me being available less during the day, so they are all ready to work around mom being gone a few hours during the school day. My middle school student has transitioned to working at the library when I need to be away for a few hours while his brother is at school. 2025 is marking my goal of stepping back from volunteer work and into a job role. I would love to spend those hours with your pets, either going for walks, playing, or caring for them in your home. I am very responsible about making sure my home, pets, and kids are secure. This makes me to perfect person to care for your pets in your home. I will always make sure your yard is secure prior to letting out a dog. I will follow all of your instructions for care and reach out with any questions or concerns as soon as they come up. I will make sure all harnesses, collars, and/or leashes are reliable prior to taking your dog outside of the home. I will double check all locks prior to leaving if I am caring for a pet while the owner is away. I'm also big on pictures and will be happy to send along plenty of reassure pictures via text while your pet and/or home are in my care.

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Chloee and she is sensational and trustworthy. She sends photos and updates each day and is so attentive to my old buddy! He clearly has a great time with her — 100% will book with Chloee again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to both pets and their routines. I don’t just watch your animals—I learn their habits, personalities, and preferences to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience administering oral and topical medications, working with senior pets, and I’m especially thorough when it comes to cleanliness (yes, I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes!). My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are not just looked after, but genuinely cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. I also set aside time for updates to owners, cleaning, and any special care instructions like administering meds or sticking to feeding routines. Caring for animals isn’t just a side task—it’s something I truly prioritize and enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, playtime, and quiet areas for rest. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication schedules just as you would. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I keep things tidy, stick to your pet’s daily habits, and make sure they’re not just fed and walked—but also mentally stimulated and comforted in your absence. I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, I was raised with both cats and dogs around! Whenever a family member or friend needs help with a pet I am who they call. I have a lot of compassion and love for all animals, I feel that are family members and should be cared for as such! I currently have 3 cats, all sisters and our beloved dog of 13 years made her transition in 2020. I am comfortable with all breeds of cats & dogs as well as all ages! If any doubts, Meet & Greets with your fur babies are absolutely fine with me so that we are all comfortable! I currently am available Monday-Friday & Sunday. I do drop off and pick up my children from school so I am available from 8:30-2:30AM & 5:00-7:00PM. I can do a walk later in the evening if requested in advance! I do have a nice size fenced in back yard. I do not currently want to bring other animals into my home just because I don’t want conflict with my 3 cats. In warmer weather I don’t mind a dog being in the backyard. I can adapt to anyone’s living situation when it comes to how they like to keep their pet. I will make sure to follow directions very closely.

“Amazing like always”


Paulina S.
“Paulina has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my husky, Piper. From the very first visit, I could tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Piper can be a handful and full of energy and always ready for adventure, but Paulina handles her with so much patience and love. She goes the extra mile to make sure Piper feels comfortable, safe, and entertained, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just giving her the attention she needs. It’s never easy leaving your dog with someone else, but knowing Piper is with Paulina gives me total peace of mind. She’s incredibly responsible, communicative, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I can tell Piper adores her, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Paulina is the best choice!”

Anna G.
“Anna has been fantastic with my 3 dogs. I’ve had her do overnights and random check ins if I’m having a longer day and they will be left a long time. She spends quality time, follows their routine/schedule, takes them on walks, and even goes above and beyond occasionally bathing & brushing them. I highly recommend her!”

“Bianca is outstanding with animals. She has such a loving spirit when it comes to caring and understanding their needs & wants. I have left my cats and dog in her care several times.
