About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“Kristina was great, she came beforehand and met the pups. Took time to understand everything that was needed. Went above and beyond with very little notice. Gave great updates and photos, even spent a little extra time and care for our pups. Will most definitely reach out to her again without hesitation.”
“Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️”
About: As a 31 year old who's owned dogs his entire life, I've learned dog behaviour in and out, while I don't consider myself a trainer, the breeds I've owned and work with include hounds, German Shepard/Mixes, Pitbulls, Huskies, etc, I can offer basic walks around your area OR provide a speciality trail hiking experience with your pup! They will be cleaned and checked for fleas and ticks every time, and healthy exhaustion is guaranteed! My entire life I have owned high energy dogs, as a lover of nature I always learned towards dogs that could hike with me through the woods in Rain, Snow or sunshine, after doing it for years for my pups, I want to give other puppies and even senior dogs that feeling of freedom in nature! If your dog needs a companion, my German Shepard Rita can join! If your dog prefers solo hikes or hikes with their siblings that is okay as well! I treat all pets like my own children, same as yours!
About: I have had a variety of pets my entire life from dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, lizards, fish, turtles, and many more. I started pet sitting professionally about 10 years ago when my older sister was going out of town. That lead to other family members, friends, and neighbors seeking my services as well. I have not met a pup that didn't instantly love me and I know your baby won't be any different! I do my absolute best to make sure your pets don't even realize you're gone, they will have so much fun with me and get all the snuggles they need! I currently work full time until 3:30pm on weekdays. I will be available for walks and check ins on weekdays anytime after work (possibly before work depending on the circumstances) and I will be available for house sitting, check ins, and walks on weekends I will follow any and all instructions left for me, otherwise I will happily greet your pup, let them out to use the bathroom, fill their water and food bowls, let them eat, and take them for a walk or to play outside and I will do this 2-3 times per day
“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Izzywas great with Alina! I could tell that she cared and that Alina loved hanging out with her. Would definitely recommend her to take care of anyone's fur babies.”
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful and made us feel comfortable right from the start. She was very interactive and kind with our dog. Very reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. She really took the time and extra care with our dog. I really appreciated how attentive she was and that she took the time to encourage play with my senior dog. Would highly recommend her.”
“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”

I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the care, playtime, and attention they need When I care for pets in your home or mine I follow your routine as closely as possible to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.

I respect your home, keep it tidy, and make sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar environment. You can trust me to provide dependable, attentive care every visit.
“Bri was great with my two cats! ? She made time for a meet & greet beforehand and was so easy to work with. I will definitely be booking with her to look after my boys when I am gone on a few trips this summer!”
About: Truly love animals. I can provide excellent references that will confirm that your will be loved and your home will be safe while ai am there. I I will walk your dogs in my care and play with them outside. Animals sleep with me unless the owner would rather they were caged. If medicine is required I would be diligent to administer to your pet. During the day animals sit in my lap or lay on the couch beside me. Your pet will be very loved from the beginning! I'm retired and home the majority of the time. For trips to the bank or drive thru, dogs go with me and ride shotgun safely. We will follow your dogs daily routine and adhere to any rules and regulations about your pet and your home. Some dogs would rather not go on walks and I'm good with that.
About: Nine years of co-loving our GSD, Shelby. Years of assisting friends and family with their pups both young and old. I’m here and ready to help. Plenty of flexibility at this point in time. Just need notice so I can arrange my day accordingly. Would like to keep jobs in area. I prefer to care for pups at owner’s home, though I do have a fenced in yard and safe neighborhood should my home be needed.
About: I have been a long term volunteer at multiple shelters. I am also a foster dog mom, every dog is treated as if they are my own. I work from home a few days a week, so I will be near by and ready to play with your pups. I am also free on weekends and nights for any of their needs. I am a patient walker and strong believer in sniff walks, letting the dog take its time soaking up all the good smells while getting necessary exercise.
About: I volunteered all throughout my high school years at the humane society and still try my best to help out and donate when I can. I have three pets, and have had many more in my life and hope to have even more when I’m given the proper opportunity and safe environment. Through my years of being a pet owner I know that animal care isn’t all that easy and isn’t for everyone. It requires hard work, patience, and lots and lots of research. I pride myself in being vigilant with care instructions as every animal is different even when it comes to the same breed. I work a part time job where I find out my schedule weekly. My job entails a 4-7 hour shift where I am completely free after. I am also a student but have yet to begin courses for the fall. I’m a lover of all animals and understand the importance of care and attention that comes with taking care of our furry friends. As a cat parent myself, I wouldn’t want anything but the best and most attentive sitter and through that experience, I have the drive and need to make sure all pets are getting the care and stimulation they need as animals. I also have two parakeets and while having a cat and birds in the house wasn’t easy at first, through training and lots of patience I successfully managed to have my own kitty befriend our two parakeets.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I have a dog of my own. I walk my friends dog and also watch family and friends dogs for short periods of time. I walk my dog everyday after school! I am also on a different dog walking app so I try and accept walks when ever they’re available! I hang out with the pets I am watching, play with them! I also take them on walks, keeping in mind what kind of dog they are and their stamina to dictate how far we go! I make sure I pick up after myself and after the dog everytime!
About: I have cared for four dogs over the past 12 years (all rescues). I have a genuine passion for providing the best quality care, and I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with high anxiety levels and/or behavioral issues, along with puppies and senior dogs. I am also highly detail-oriented, organized, and understand the importance of routine and structure in your dog's life. Your instructions, requests, and/or concerns are my top priority. I am currently working part-time, so I have extra time during the week and on weekends to provide pet and house-sitting services. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and any other requests. I will treat your home environment with the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions and requests you give me to a tee, and your pet(s) safety is my top priority.
About: Since I was young I have always cared for not only my own personal pets but my family and friends pets whether they were dogs, cats, birds, fish, you name it. This include walking, feeding, bathing, and loving. Currently I have experience in a Vet clinic as a Veterinary Assistant so handling any type of medication or medical need is no stranger to me. I have also worked with a kitten and cat foundation that has given me experience in raising a litter of kittens and getting the most fulfilling job of bottle feeding new born kittens. I have also volunteered at a doggy spa day where I bathed greyhounds and made sure every pet looked their best. I am also attending school to get my Bachelors of Science in Animal Science along with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine right after and I currently do research on horses at Michigan State University and have enjoyed that experience of working with these big beautiful animals. So learning and knowing what responsibilities it takes to care for horse as well working in a Vet clinic I value giving any pet the time, dedication, and love they deserve. Animals are my passion, I am consistently around animals whether they are small or large. As a student, I plan to fit my pet care schedule around any classes or school based events along with making sure your pet is well taken care of. So this meaning for dog walking and check-ins I will do morning and evening walks and check-ins to makesure your pet gets a good stroll on their favorite path or much needed time of love and play to burn off some energy. For dog sitting I will be their in the morning when your fur baby wakes up and wants their morning breakfast, sometimes during the day enjoying quiet time as I do homework or spend time playing with their favorite toy, and then tuck them into bed when they dream about their favorite people in the world. I will ensure to communicate with you on what my schedule looks like and ensure the best possible service for you and your animal. I value giving the best quality service and building a trusting relationship with you and your fur baby. Once I first step in your home I will treat you and your pet as family ensuring care and respect. This will be done by consistent communication with you as I am with your pet, whether its cute pics, letting you know when I have arrived and left for walks, and giving you any important information that may come up. I will also ensure that you and your animal feel safe and comfortable whether its in your home or out on a nature walk. Also, I will ensure that when I leave your home it will look better than new and your animal is the happiest in the world.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’m a proud cat mom to three rescued cats and grew up surrounded by dogs. I also cared for my diabetic dog and became comfortable with administering medications and providing extra medical attention. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have taken veterinary technician classes because my dream is to build a career in veterinary medicine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. 🐾 I recently moved to Michigan, so Rover is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. My typical availability is Monday through Friday, but I understand that pet care needs don’t always fit a set schedule. If you need care outside of those days, please reach out, I’m happy to do my best to make arrangements! 🐾 I currently have three cats of my own, so I prefer to provide care in my clients’ homes where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. However, if needed, I do have a fully fenced backyard and can discuss boarding on a case-by-case basis. I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, carrying treats for positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates to give you peace of mind and let you see all the fun your pet is having. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating them like one of my own.

We cannot recommend Shelly enough! She has watched our dogs multiple times now, and she is truly wonderful. Our dogs are excited when they see her, which gives us total peace of mind while we are away. She is reliable, sends great photo updates, and treats our pups like her own. We will definitely keep booking with her!
Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Inkster stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Inkster 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Inkster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
