About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.
“Jessica is fabulous! I’m kind of a “crazy dog mom” but knowing my dog, Foss, is in Jessica’s care puts me at ease during the day. She sends me lots of pictures on her visits and, most importantly, I can tell she truly loves Foss and all animals and Foss loves/adores her just as much. Thank you, Jessica!”

I enjoy coming home from work and being able to walk and care for dogs! I’m very active so it fits my routine/lifestyle well! Let me know how I can help them best!

About: I grew up with dogs and found a love for them at an early age. I always had labrador retrievers but love all dogs. I have been dog walking since middle school and now I am currently a rising junior at Wayne State University and love all pets but love dogs specifically:) I have been dogsitting consistently for family and friends over the years and love taking care of all pets:) I am currently a student at Wayne State University and my days are pretty open and have lots of time to take care of your pets:) I do not have a fenced yard, but am very comfortable taking any dogs out on a leash and am comfortable having your pup sleep with me or can have them in a crate.
About: I always wanted a dog growing up, and before our family got our own, I would walk, play with, and take care of neighbors’ dogs, and it only made me love them more! I’ve also cared for roommates’ dogs and cats, and have experience with some of the less-fun things like giving pills and medications when necessary. I do work a standard job from 9 to 5, so I would be available to petsit, check-in, or walk on evenings and weekends. If the location works out, I could do check-ins on the lunch hour as well! While I’m not able to have pets over to my home, I am very respectful of others’ homes and spaces, and I recognize the importance of routine in pet care, so I do my best to keep pets happy and healthy and give them the attention they need when you’re not able to!

Hi, I’m Monica DeSpain— a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud pet mom to one sweet senior dog and three quirky cats. I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. My background includes 5 years working at two veterinary hospitals as a veterinary assistant, volunteering at the animal shelter, and fostering pets in my home.

I also currently run a small online business from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday and weekend visits, dog walking, and personalized drop-in care.

Every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level — and I meet them where they’re at.

I am a college student living at home so my nights are pretty free as well as my days are pretty open at the moment I have a fenced yard and plenty of places for a dog to sleep and play, etc. I am very attentive and make sure the dog stays safe
“I was in a bind and searched Rober for some pet care recently. My Loki needed some daytime walking while our family members were otherwise indisposed. Nicole had availability, and came to meet us before we sealed the deal. She is very kind, and has a warm way with our pooch. Nicole reliably provided walks for a three-day period in early August, sending photos of my Loki to me while I was working. Our family sincerely appreciated her service. Definitely will try to book Nicole for future walks.”

“Alayna is great, my dog is happy, I am definitely rebooking her again. She sent me the cutest photos of my dog, played with him, walked and pet him, and swapped his water more often than I do. Thank you so much”
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.
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.
“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”
About: I worked at PetSmart for 14 years in management. My last position was in the grooming salon, I also helped out in the pets hotel often. I received my bachelors degee in 2016 and moved on with my career elsewhere in my field, but I miss seeing all kids of pets every day. I figured this would be a great way to see pets and earn extra income. I have two dogs of my own, and a nephpup (brothers dog). I've always has a strong love for all animals! My favorite part of any day is seeing a happy pet. I have quite a few references from people I have pet sat for. Hope to meet you and your pets soon! Thank you very much!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harper Woods
Peyton was absolutely wonderful! I’m so thankful she was able to help me when I needed it the most. She was incredibly sweet and kind, both to me and to Georgia, and I felt so comfortable having Georgia in her care. She kept me updated constantly and sent me lots of pictures, which I absolutely LOVE because being able to see Georgia while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. 🥹 She took such great care of her, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Georgia too! She was so easy and fun to work with, and I had such a great experience with her. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. I’m so grateful for all her help! ❤️🐶
Jules was very kind, pleasant, and caring with my dogs, and they seemed comfortable with her right away. I appreciated her friendly attitude and willingness to help. There were a few communication hiccups along the way, particularly around the app and payment process, but overall she was nice to work with and clearly good with animals.
Danny was a home run pick for our very high energy rescue dog. He communicated every step of the way leading up to the first visit and took our boy on his very first three mile run. Best decision ever. You can tell how much he loves animals and they respond in kind. Looking forward to the next visit.
We’ve been so happy to find Caelan! She communicates fast and friendly, is reliable, and has given us great peace of mind knowing our new energetic pup is getting activity through the day. She is attentive to our doggos needs and has gone above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her more in the future!
