Kristy was incredibly kind, communicative, and patient with our two cats and our dog. This was the first time she cared for them, and I didn’t feel nervous at all leaving Bailey and the cats in her care. She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Kristy did an amazing job, and we would absolutely trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.

Asher stayed, in our home, with our 14wk old puppy for 12days! We returned to a well trained potty trained and polite gentleman. Asher kept us updated multiple times everyday. He then wrote a report of all the training, tricks and how to continue the training. Asher also had an emergency in the middle of the stay and communicated through the whole thing …. Working with us to ensure our dog was completely taken care of. With a few hours he was back for the rest of the booked stay! I cannot recommend Asher enough. He is worth every penny and much more.

About: After spending 15 wonderful years taking care of my beagle Bailey, I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do. I’m currently earning my Master’s degree online in Mental Health Counseling while completing clinical work, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m able to dedicate quality time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog park just a short walk from my home, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I also have access to my mother’s home, which features a large fenced yard and pool area with no resident pets, offering additional space for supervised outdoor play if appropriate. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferences to ensure every pet receives personalized care and attention.

About: Hello. My name is Sheila and I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. For the past 20 years I’ve worked with rescues like…ATRA (Airedale Terrier Rescue Association) where I would do transport and foster dogs. All together I’ve fostered 5 and ended up keeping 3 of the 5 fosters. I’ve had a few cats growing up and then 1 of my own as adult. Her name was peaches and she lived for 14 years. I never even tried to replace her. I have experience with giving dogs of all ages meds, including injections. I’m used to having 3 to 4 dogs at a time but now I just have 1. I’m missing the craziness. If you’d like me to dog or cat sit for you I can assure you that I’ll love them no less than my own. ✌️ I currently have a pretty flexible schedule so I can spend quality time with your pet. I’m committed to giving your pet the time he/she deserves. With the understanding that all pets have different needs I will follow your instructions to the letter to make sure he/she doesn’t have any confusion in their schedule.

Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.

Our experience with Kathy was amazing! She took amazing care of my 2 boy cats as well as our condo, left everything the way she found it if not better. Stan has a bad heart and needs medication and Kathy handled everything perfectly. She sent multiple updates and photos a day (which I loved!) 10/10 recommend her. We already have her booked for our next trip!

Alexandra is a very friendly and punctual. My dog loved having her watch him. He felt very at ease with her as we could tell by the picture she sent of him on his back and paws in the air asking for a belly rub. Will definitely ask Alexandra to watch him again.

About: I can help you with your animal care needs, from as quick as short pop-ins to week-long house/dog sitting. I've been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I work in Bloomfield Hills so if you are in that area I can run over to your house on my lunch hour and let your dogs out. I live in Clarkston so I can stop off at your house on my way to or from work and let your dogs out/feed them etc.... I can go to your house after work and let your dogs out and I can even stay at your house for a short time or a long time or over a long weekend (I don't work Fridays). I routinely house-sit for someone who has one dog and MANY cats inside the house and outside, duties included feeding ferals as well as the local wildlife... racoons, deer, birds, turkeys etc. I house-sit for someone who has 6 dogs. I am open to all sizes and breeds and temperaments of dogs, ... I am familiar with all kinds of birds. I also have experience with many reptiles. If you have me stay over-night I can be company for your animals throughout the day. I spend quality time with them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I own Staffordshire terriers but have owned almost every breed of dog throughout my life. (I would love to babysit a Greyhound just f.y.i.) I can stay at your house all day and all night if you require, for stays requiring several days in a row....contact me for the fee. Typically I charge $50 for over-night stays at your house, from evening until morning. If the stay requires me to be there further throughout the day, depending on how many visits or hours, the cost is adjusted accordingly. I have a jeep 4x4 so no need to worry about having driveways or pathways shoveled during the winter while you are gone. I charge $50 to sleep at your house (late evening til morning) If you need me throughout the day, depending on what is required.. there will be an up-charge. I work mon thru Thursday and I can stop at your house to, or from work ...after work... I can do drop-ins or I can stay for extended times. I am free all Friday Saturday and Sunday. I have a jeep 4x4 so no need to worry about any sudden snow storms while you are gone. if you need any special instructions followed, just write everything down. i can water your plants, get your mail... while I am there. I will let your dogs out often to go potty
