About: My first dog was a Collie when I was ten and I’ve been in love with animals ever since. We’ve fostered cats and dogs for a number of years. Currently we only have our rescued dogs and cats. We do watch friends and family pets when they are away. Also, I worked for a veterinarian for about four years. My husband and I are retired. I’m looking for something that offers me routine without long term commitment. I enjoy walking, and a dog just adds to the happiness. I have a fenced yard and three dogs and two cats. My pug eats in her crate, but she lets herself out when she’s finished. I have extra beds and crates, a comfy couch for your animals to lay on. All dogs must be potty trained and under 30lbs. On active flea preventive, up to date on vaccines.

“Our Sunny is shy at first when meeting new people, particularly, men. So I was very pleased with how William was able to calm down our apprehensive pup shortly upon meeting her for the first time. And as I expected might happen, by the end of the walk, William did get kisses from Sunny so it was a good beginning for her, too. I'm definitely going to book William again and hope he'll become a regular for us.”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from loyal childhood pets to rescuing animals in need. They’re more than companions to me; they’re family, healers, and honestly, some days I connect with them better than most humans. I understand their need for routine, comfort, patience, and love — the same values I bring from years of childcare experience. As someone who has cared for children professionally, I’m calm under pressure, intuitive to nonverbal cues, and deeply reliable. I know how to create safe, engaging environments, and that carries over naturally to how I care for pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog who just needs a gentle walk and some TLC, I meet them where they’re at. Hi! I’m a college student currently doing my internship at Novi High School, working toward a career in school counseling. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, and in between my family life and my internship, I’m looking to care for pets this summer to fill my cup and earn some extra income doing something I truly love. Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve had pets since I was a kid, including rescues — and they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I believe animals deserve the same kind of patience, consistency, and love that I bring to both parenting and working with students. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, grounded, and will treat your pet like family, I’d be honored to help. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active — all while ensuring they’re safely leashed, hydrated, and secure in their environment. For cats, I focus on a calm, clean, and enriched space with fresh food and water, clean litter, and gentle affection on their terms. Whether it’s managing energy levels or giving space when needed, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust in every moment of care.

About: Hi! I’m Abby, a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I currently share my home with two sweet rescue cats I adopted in 2020. I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life and understand how unique and particular they can be. In 2024, I spent six months volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, and I grew up with a wonderful family dog who sparked my love for dogs. Whether we’re out for a walk or I’m stopping by to check in, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m available full time and happy to follow your routines, send plenty of photo updates, and keep your pets happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to hear from you! I’m leaving my current job in retail so I’m available full time to take care of your sweet kitty or pup! I’m available for walks, overnights and drop ins. I currently have two sweet cats I rescued in 2020 that are 4 and 5 who are my whole world. I will take care of your kitty/puppers just like they are my own.

About: I am a huge dog lover. I have experience with both large and small dogs. My dog who passed away, a 15-year-old senior Silky Terrier, had dementia, deafness, and other health issues, so I understand the special care senior dogs require. I also have experience caring for energetic puppies and can adapt to dogs of all ages and needs. I am a recent college graduate and am currently working as a substitute teacher. My schedule is very flexible on the days I work as long as your pet needs are communicated to me. I make sure every pet I care for receives plenty of love, attention, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s engaging playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship and comfort, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize their well-being, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I am comfortable handling, caring for, cleaning up after and medicating all kinds of animals. My favorites are reptiles, dogs and cats, but I have experience with rodents of many types, birds and invertebrates as well. I am comfortable walking large dogs or multiple dogs at a time. I currently have an 11 year old lab/rott, a five year old miniature dachshund, a 15 year old cat, a 1 year old snake and three hermit crabs. I have had all of them since they were babies and I grew up in a house full of animals. I have a very flexible daily schedule, so I am able to tailor your pets care for their specific needs! Whether you need me to stop in every other day to check water for your tank pets, daily for feeding or medication or more than once a day to give your pups walks and play time, I’m able to make it work!

Devere P.
“When my uncle passed away, I inherited his dog — a sweet but deeply traumatized pup who had just lost his best friend and didn’t trust anyone. I was overwhelmed with grief, and so was the dog. But Deve’re stepped in without hesitation. He showed patience, consistency, and so much compassion. He took the time to earn the dog’s trust, learning her triggers, keeping her safe, and slowly helping her feel secure again. He walked her gently, spoke to her softly, and created a calm space she could count on. Watching him care for her — especially during such a painful chapter — showed me how deeply he understands animals, especially ones who are hurting. He didn’t just help her heal — he helped me heal, too”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Finn and Scout! From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and attention Debi gives to animals. You treated our dogs like your own, keeping them happy and safe while we were away. We especially appreciated the updates; it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Thank you for your incredible patience, especially with all the barking! We know Finn and Scout can be a bit vocal, and we’re so grateful for the calm and understanding way you handled it. Finn and Scout clearly adored their time with you, and we’re so thankful for the affection, patience, and playtime you shared with them. You went above and beyond, we’d recommend you without hesitation!!!”

Whether it's training, care, or simply companionship, Shaune is truly remarkable when it comes to her dealings with any animal she is with.”


Pamela C.
“Don’t look any further for a more loving pet sitter. Pamela has watched our Sailor several times (many overnight stays) and to our joy, she treats him as though he were her own pet. Whenever we drop Sailor off, he is excited to see her which is very comforting. Our dog Sailor has a few “needy” quirks that Pamela understood from the very first visit. I have seen her with other animals and she treats them all with the love and patience you would want for your pet. Trust me, you and your pet will love her! ❤️”

I had a broken foot so I couldn’t walk my dog. Allie saved the day. My dog is not yet well trained but she’s sweet. Allie got along great with her and I’m sure my pup is going to miss her. I look forward to booking with Allie again. She’s lovely and kind and my willful dog made a new friend. Thanks again Allie!!

Linda S is a superb dog walker. We have had other dog walkers from Rover and almost all of them have been very good, but Linda S is outstanding, the best of the bestRuthie really loves her and when she comes to the door, Ruthie can hardly wait to see her. Ruthie needs a lot of exercise and Linda S walked her farther than any other dog walker we have had. They almost always walked more than 4 miles and one time she walked her 5.2 miles. We are very grateful and we will book her again whenever we need a Dog Walker in the future.
