“I appreciated Dawn’s flexibility and compassionate care for my little Chico. She kept me informed of his activities and also updated me with pictures. Definitely will be rebooking with her if I need a sitter.”
“I trusted Megan with my 4 year old Maltese with my whole heart! She’s tidy, stays in touch throughout the day by sending pictures and updates, and because she has regular little dogs who she sits frequently. Meelo enjoyed his stay even more, he got tonnes and play time and walks. I’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you Megan!”
“Kimberly and Charles were the sweetest! Our dog Bobi was a little nervous at the beginning and I was worried he wouldn’t adapt well, but by the second day he became comfortable with them and you can just tell that they’re the kind of people animals feel safe to gravitate towards. Without a doubt I would leave Bobi in their care again!”
“I can’t begin to express the love my Romeo and I have for Jailyn! My pup had to do an extended stay since we’re moving and she took care of my baby as if he was her own!! Always keeping me updated with texts and photos! She will always be his sitter!”
“Dia was great with our pup, from the time we connected for a meet and greet we felt comfortable. Dia provided great communication and photos throughout our dog's stay. We certainly will entrust her with our fur baby again!”
“Luna loves staying with Lauren & Kevin. When I dropped her off she ran right to the front door! I love when they send me pictures and Luna is playing or relaxing! Love it!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including having my own family dogs, Milo and Charlie, who previously lived with me full-time. I also have experience fostering animals and working at a doggy daycare, which gave me experience caring for dogs with different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, supervision, cleaning, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I currently work part-time and attend school, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, crate, or household instructions you provide and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive and patient and understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
“Janine was wonderful with Dixie and made him feel very comfortable. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos throughout his stay, and was incredible accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. Her kids were also so sweet and loved Dixie. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you.”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Maureen is amazing! She took care of our dog, Chutney, for almost three weeks in her home and she treated him just like her own. She sent regular updates and photos and make sure to take him for daily walks. Chutney is nervous around new people, in but he definitely took to Maureen immediately. She is a natural with taking care of dogs! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“5-plus stars! Nadine and Mark were awesome with our 4 yr old cockapoo, Molly. They took great care to make her feel comfortable at their house. They are also very knowledgeable about dogs in general, which made me feel very comfortable. I received updates during her stay. Highly recommend! Thanks, Nadine and Mark!”
“We had an amazing experience with Alexandra and Georgi! They took such great care of our dog for an entire week and went above and beyond with frequent updates, photos, and messages that gave us peace of mind. Our dog seemed so happy, comfortable, and well loved the whole time. It was so sweet to see our dog playing with their little girl and how quickly they bonded. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“This is the 5th time Rahied watched Cobra for at least a week each time and every time he goes above and beyond! I absolutely love his family as well! They treats him like he's their pet! I hope they continue to be available for him because I can't imagine trying to find anyone better! 🥰🤗”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”

Couldn’t recommend Megan more! Excellent and easy service. Took great care of my pug and provided daily updates. She naturally cares about your pet and ensures they have a great time on their vacation from home. This was my first experience with Rover and I was blown again. Thanks again!
Teddy just finished his stay with Jasmine, and I couldn't be happier. She was attentive, followed all his care instructions, and kept me updated. Teddy came home happy and relaxed. It’s a huge relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch him!I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Inkster home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
