“I have a hard time leaving my cats there like family to me. She did an amazing job updating me everyday with pictures. My cats loved her and I will definitely book her again and again.”

“Randi took such great care of Mojo, she did not fail to post photos at each visit and even gave attention to my dog. She provided helpful tips regarding mojos dietary needs which he needed. Randi is very trustworthy and I recommend!”

“Jj was fabulous with Eco and sent me updates after each visit, showing pictures and information about what she had done. She was kind and took good care of my senior cat, petting, playing, and making her feel comfortable.”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. From raising dogs from puppyhood to their senior years to caring for my own beloved cats, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. My flexible work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members, ensuring they never feel lonely. Through my years of experience with friends' pets and on Rover, I have cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am well-equipped to handle: Diverse Needs: Experience with high-energy breeds, high-anxiety personalities, and pets with permanent physical disabilities. Specialized Care: Comfortable with senior needs, administering medications (pill takers), and managing picky eaters. Routine Consistency: I aim to follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and separation anxiety. Frequent Updates: I know how it feels to miss your fur babies, so I prioritize sending plenty of photos and updates to keep your mind at ease. Whether your pet is big or small, they will receive the same patient, loving care I give my own. I look forward to meeting your best friend! Due to my flexible job, I am able to care for a pet any time of day. It's pretty rare for me to have time restrictions. I always do my very best to maintain your pets daily routine so to keep anxiety levels down and make sure both pet and parent feel comfortable.
“Sinan was wonderful with my puppy, Rosie! He was communicative, friendly, and clearly great with young dogs. He was also incredibly accommodating when my errands ran later than expected, which I truly appreciated. I’ll absolutely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐶✨”

“We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!”

About: Rats, Cats, Dogs, even Bats (if you have one) I'll care for them all!! I've taken care of animals since I tried to nurse a bird back to health in elementary during recess! I work part time as a twitch streamer, so my schedule is fairly flexible! With pet owners' permission, I like to show some of the pets I care for to my community! Either way, I love spending time with any and all pets! I will adhere to your instructions as closely as possible. I know how important it is not only for the pet(s), but the owners as well.
“Lukis was great! Loved all the photos they sent of my hams and followed directions for key swap! I was very confident that they would do a great job, and they did!!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve rescued a senior pit bull, cared for a 115-lb Giant Schnauzer, and given oral medications when needed — so I’m comfortable with pups who need a little extra attention or special care. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog gets the love, playtime, and snuggles they deserve. 🐾 By day, I’m a full-time risk professional… by nights and weekends, I’m all about pets! 🐾 Evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays, anytime fun on weekends play, snuggles, and belly rubs included. 😸🐶 Pets staying in my home will be treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, reinforcing training routines, or simply offering extra cuddles and reassurance. I currently have two friendly cats who are used to a peaceful home setting. I also previously had two dogs, so I understand the structure, patience, and exercise dogs need to feel happy and secure. My experience with both cats and dogs makes me comfortable caring for different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which means your pet will have full-day supervision, companionship, and plenty of attention on those days. Even on other days, I prioritize a consistent routine to make sure pets feel safe and settled. Living right on the Detroit Riverwalk is a huge advantage for dog care. We have easy access to long, scenic walks and safe opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether your dog loves an energetic walk or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I can tailor our outings to match their needs and comfort level. Above all, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely confident and connected while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”


“Jeannette always goes above and beyond! Love the photos and Jack seems taken care of when I get back. When she couldn’t do a future checkin she contacted a different sitter and made sure that Jack was covered! Amazing!”
“Karen was great!! She was recommended to me when my original sitter wasn’t available and I’m so happy she was. She spent extra time with my kittens to make sure they were happy and cared for in my absence. Definitely recommend!”

“Breanna was great! Our cat had a great time with her when we were away. She kept us updated with texts, photos, and videos while we were away (and even FaceTimed us when we wanted to confirm a tricky house item). Kenny seems to have enjoyed having all of the attention and great playtime with Breanna. Would hire again!”

About: I am a medical student who loves to play and care for animals. I have been caring for all types of animals for the past 10 years, including but not limited to dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, hedgehogs, etc. I have personal experience caring and training my dog who was diagnosed with glaucoma which caused her to become blind in one eye. This means that I have to administer eye drops into her eye every night. I have trained her to go to her bed and sit patiently to allow me to input her eye drops peacefully in an exchange for a treat. In high school I also helped train puppies to become guide dogs for the blind. I am able to care for wild and rambunctious dogs to relaxed and care-free dogs. With these special skills and personal experiences, I will be able to ensure that your dog is cared for as if they are my own. I understand that dogs are a huge part of your family and will do my best to make sure they are treated with love. As a full time student, I have flexibility in my schedule to fit in pet care into my weekly routine. I like to implement breaks into my study schedule and what good way to rest than playing/caring for animals! While I am unable to board / care for animals in my own home, I will be able to go to the pets home and care for them there. I can do house visits to feed or care for them in the home or take them out for walks around your neighborhood.

“Our pups get so excited when Mary Kay comes to watch them. It can be a drop in our overnight. They are so happy. We know that they are in amazing hands, and we don't need to worry about their care. They are already looking forward to the next time she comes to visit.”

Islandview pet parents share their Rover experiences
Randi took great care of ziva for a last minute business trip. She was very communicative throughout the process and even took the time to do a meet and greet before I left. I loved seeing pictures on my trip and knowing my dog was well taken care of. I will be using her again.

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town!

Our dogs love Dana! We knew our dogs were in great hands while we were out. Dana was right on time and sent us updates and pictures. We were a little nervous leaving because our one pup doesn’t like thunder and storms were in the area, but Dana was great and made sure Cento wasn’t scared. 😊

We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!
