Greetings, Loving animals has been a life long passion. I have cared for numerous pets and continue to love cats and dogs equally. My Boston terrier mix and two cats fill my home with lots of love. Belly, my dog, is full of energy, so we often spend time at the local dog park or in my fenced yard playing. Since age 6, I have owned and cared for various pets. I love to walk dogs, play fetch with dogs, and provide dogs with companionship. I am available to keep your dog(s) and or cat(s) happy while you are away. My goal is to provide the same attention and love you would provide. I have no problem following your care directions. Experience administrating medicine, check! I offer discounts for families with more than three pets and or long term care. Please contact me with any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, I am a certified teacher. During the school year (Monday through Friday), I'm free after 3:00 pm to care for your fur baby or babies. Weekends and holidays, my availability is flexible and open to fit your needs. When caring for your pets, I will follow your instructions any keep a similar routine. Your pet(s) will receive walks and play time in the backyard.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. Horses, dogs, cats, you name it. My mom is a dog breeder and I help with that as well. I am usually available. Right now I am working part time. . . . . . . Message me and we can make arrangements, thanks. At home my pets are outdoors most of the time in fences. I can easily take care of indoor or outdoor pets. In or out, that’s all up to you! I feed and water my animals. I provide medicine when needed.
“Allie is so kind and does great work with our timid girl. Allie is patient and you can tell she is a great caregiver because she thinks of all of the little things (like placing her keys down to say hi because she knew keys might scare a nervous dog).”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.
“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!”
About: Hi my name is Sarah, and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old daughter, who is great with dogs and always gets so excited when we get new dogs, and always loves when we see them again. we definitely are an animal loving family! I've always had dogs growing up, and watched my mom's dog anytime she's out of town. My husband also loves dogs and he loves to play with them. I've been doing rover now for 3 years and I love getting to know different types of dogs and meeting new people! We have a fenced in yard that is a pretty decent size to run around and burn there energy, and I normally will always go out with them as well to throw some toys around and watch them run around. We are not always able to give them walks but we try our best especially if the weather is nice. We enjoy getting fresh air as well. But either way I let them run out in the back! I am always taking photos, and will send you as many updates as you'd like. Your dog will always get love and attention here. Like I said I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is super flexible. We always will treat your dog like family. If you let them sleep with you on your bed, most likely we will too! Whatever routine you have for them, I will too.
“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!”
“Randi took great care of ziva for a last minute business trip. She was very communicative throughout the process and even took the time to do a meet and greet before I left. I loved seeing pictures on my trip and knowing my dog was well taken care of. I will be using her again.”
“Morgan is doing so well taking care of my cat. She has been not only doing cleaning well, but also taking time to play with my cat everytime. I recommend Morgan to anyone who needs a pet service.”
About: I am a long time animal lover with a large verity of pet care experience! I’ve looked after Yorkies, Great Danes and everything in between, owned both dogs and cats of my own (currently have 3 cats), and have been walking, sitting and fostering dogs since I was a teenager. Been through training courses with dogs so I’m familiar with training practices and I’ve also cared for pets that were sick or injured, administered medicine and cared for wounds. I love both cats and dogs and have always been great with all pets!! I’d love to meet your furry friends and help out! My schedule is pretty flexible, I just work some evenings. I’m here to help & to support my small creative business and make ends meet, I am so excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your pets! As a caretaker for your pets I am more than happy to come to your home and visit them in the comfort of their own space! I will always be tidy and respectful. I’m happy to walk, play, feed, groom or whatever your pets needs are!
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.
About: As the warmer weather is approaching us, and alot of people are traveling to out of state or even out of the country, I know its very hard to leave your pet with someone or even a big boarding company while you go on vacation. Or even not liking to put your dog through staying in a cage while on an airplane. So I would love to cuddle and give all your pets the affection they need while you're out of town. With you leaving your pet with me, they will get lovings all day every day they’re with me. They will get play time, feeding time, relaxing time, cuddling time, and even walking time! (Swimming time if you allow it) I currently have one dog. Most people are afraid of bigger dogs, but mine is just a big baby, shed like little a little kid most of the time she just sleeps. I also have a kitten that acts just like a dog and then have 3 older cats. They Just want lovings and cuddles. They go out potty every 1-2 hours, because there bladder is a lot smaller than ours. If it’s really nice outside I’ll go in the back yard and play fetch and just run around with them for hours or as long as they want to stay outside. At night she doesn't sleep in a cage, because shes very well trained and don’t potty in the house, but she does sleep with me in my room. I love taking care of any type of animal, because if you can’t help them, who’s going to? They can’t help themself, so you have to help them. When I go to friends houses or even family members houses, I’m the person sitting in the corner with either the dogs laying on my feet and I’m rubbing there belly, or with the cats on my lap as I’m petting them. Animals love me, just as much as I love them. I'm currently a stay at home mom, I'm home pretty much 24/7 and have all the time in the world to play, cuddle, walk, and just lounge around in the house with your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and one dog and a few cats that will keep your family company while you're away. If they need to be crated per your request I can do that as well.
“Nicole is the best! Knowing she is going to drop in on Louis always gives me peace of mind when I’m out. I feel so lucky that she even spends extra time with my pup!”
“Kayla was great with Biscuit!! She provided plenty of pictures and updates. Biscuit is a kitten so he requires playtime and Kayla went the extra mile playing with him. You could tell she just loves cats”

Chris was super flexible- responded quickly and for a short notice sit at that! Furthermore, he was kind, personable, and professional upon meeting. He did amazing with our crazy, very big, very excitable dog. You can tell he stayed to spend time playing and giving our pup attention. Timely and communicative as well! We will be using him as our first line sitter from now on whenever possible!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 Harper 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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
