“Callie is great! She is so nice and patient. She responds in a timely manner and is loving towards our cats. She was very patient with our biggus grumpus - Whiskey. She kept our house nice and tidy. She is a pleasure to work with.”



“Annika R was the sweetest with our boy Frankie. It was the first time we left him with someone else besides us. She suggested a meet and greet and Frankie took to her right away. Annika is a great communicater and sent picture and text updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again! If you need a trust worthy sitter who loves animals she's your girl!”


“Breanna was amazing with my hershey!! it was my first time ever using rover and she made the experience amazing❤️. she sent pictures and texted me as much as possible it was truly a great experience and will book with her again”


“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”


“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”


“Brianna was great at giving updates throughout house sitting. Any questions or issues she made it know right away. I would definitely recommend and use her again”


“Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!”


“Lauri was amazing. She was wonderful with my dogs, including my senior who has health issues and takes medications. She gave me frequent, comprehensive updates, and sent plenty of much-appreciated photos of my fur babies (and even of my aquarium and flowers). She took excellent care of the household generally, followed all my instructions/requests, and was very professional and communicative. The dogs were lucky to have her. I'll call on her again in a heartbeat!”


“Khelsi was fantastic - highly communicative, prompt, and so warm and cuddly with the dogs. I also appreciated that she came through on short notice. We definitely hope to work with Khelsi again!”


“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”


“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”


About: I’ve been tasked with caring for family dogs including walks since I was 10, ranging in size from little chihuahuas to large golden doodles. I have ample experience with pets that have specific dietary needs and medications. I know how to handle reactive dogs on walks, keeping them and others safe even in high stress moments. I live in Jefferson Chalmers and work part time, so I can accommodate your schedule. I’m in north Detroit and South Oakland & Macomb county frequently as well. I am happy to follow access instructions and care for your pets from the comfort of their home. Upon the first meeting, I make myself quiet and comfortable in a pet’s home so they are in charge of our meet and interaction. Between shy cats and reactive dogs, I’ve learned how to foster safe environments for all kind of pets. I hope to build relationships with pets so you can have more peace of mind leaving them in my care!

“Ashton was very accommodating and treated my 3 year old Corgi very well. Very professional and timely. Highly recommended! Will definitely utilize her services again.”


About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.


“Chauna was excellent - 10/10 would recommend. First time Chauna stayed with Mambo and everything was smooth and gave perfect peace of mind. Very responsive, lots of updates, and both dog and home were very well looked after! Thank you Chauna.”


“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”


“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”


“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”

Cassidy S.
“Cassidy is high on the list of people I trust to take care of my rescue dog. He is a fickle, affectionate, needy pup and Cassidy treats him with patience and lots of love. When she watches my dog, I know he's not only getting walked and fed, but that he is getting cuddled on the couch and scratched in all the right spots. Makes for a guilt-free day knowing how happy my dog is to see Cassidy!”
