“Great communication about how my cats were doing to when she was coming and if something arose to change visit time. Would definitely book her again without hesitation! My cats are skittish and they came out for her!”
About: Our pets are family. I’ll treat yours with all the love & attention they deserve to give you peace of mind. I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old, starting with my Cocker Terrier mix, who was my best friend for 20 years. Since then, I’ve cared for & trained a variety of breeds, from tiny Yorkies to huge German Shepherds & all the shapes & sizes in between. I’ve developed an uncanny ability to form quick bonds so dogs feel at ease quickly with me in their pack. I’m patient, & super comfortable getting even the most timid dogs to warm up in no time. I provide flexibility during stays when you need special accommodations for uncertain travel days. I’m very communicative with my clients, so I’ll gladly answer questions & provide regular updates or pictures throughout my time with your pet. I also have ample experience caring for cats if your feline needs a friend. Presently, I’m dog dad to the sweetest 4 y/o Australian Shepherd who loves making new friends & hosting guests. We’d love to count yours among them! I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend better, & ensure my pup, Sersi & I are the ideal fit for your needs. We’ll look forward to meeting you & your buddy soon! As a dog dad, pet care is central to my routine. I work from home, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to play & engage with them, ensuring they feel loved & stimulated. I understand how stressful it can be when life takes us away from our furry friends, but you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for in my home where your pup will have my friendly Aussie as a playmate. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensuring your dog settles in quickly to feel right at home with all the comforts they’re used to. I have a safe neighborhood house with a fully fenced backyard for all the sniffing & zoomies time they could ask for. During drop-in visits or walks at your home, I follow routines closely, maintaining your pet’s schedule & environment while giving them all the attention they need to burn energy & feel happy. I make special care to keep them safe on walks through local neighborhoods & parks.

About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs at a time. My parents currently love a 5 year old German shepherd, an 8 year old English shepherd, and an 8 year old Staffordshire terrier. I myself now love a 2 year old Irish setter doodle that I have well trained with my boyfriend, and a 3 year old orange tabby kitten! I work in the medical sales industry, so no two days are the same. I usually don’t have a full day however, so if I’m scheduled with your pet, they have my full attention! I currently love a 2 year old male Irish doodle puppy and a 3 year old female orange tabby kitten. They are very friendly with each other and everyone who visits. We think it's important to have rules and structure so they are both trained and well behaved but thoroughly loved and cared for. l am comfortable with putting dogs in crates, letting them out, feeding, and administering medication if necessary; really whatever attending to their normal schedule.
About: I’ve watched my friends and families pets for since I was 15. I’ve also had animals all my life. That includes giving them baths, feeding them, walking, taking them to a dog park, anything and everything. I’m very determined to take care of such lovely animals and to keep them safe. I’m currently working part time, I’ll be going to school soon but I’m staying local so I’m still available. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to work around anything. I’ve got a fenced yard, two dogs and two cats. We keep them separated mainly for the dogs sake. They are still in training but will do nobody any harm.
“Gillian did a fantastic job watching my cats! She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything very tidy, and even sent a few great pictures of the cats snuggling up to her. 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Jordyn is a MUST HAVE. She was extremely responsive and able to accept my booking request last minute on a holiday! I am so picky when it comes to people visiting my home and fur baby and she checked all the boxes! A+ Jordyn.”

“We can always rely on Jess to come check in on our cat when we are out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond to take care of Gwen as well as our house. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea was great. She really helped me out when I was in a pinch to find a sitter. I came home to a very happy and excited pup. He ran right up to me and was dancing around, I imagine he was trying to tell me about his new friend.”
About: Hi I’m 26 years old! I have grown up around dogs all my life and I have always loved walking with them and getting to see what they find interesting. I promise that the walk will be focused on the dog not on just getting the walk over with. I have two dogs at my childhood home that I help take care of and walk whenever I am home, so I know the importance of a walk for a dog! I’m a teacher who has summers off! I’m hoping to fill my summer time with taking some great dogs for some nice walks. So my schedule is currently flexible and I am able to take your dog out during the work day! I’ll work during the school year but I’ll be more free during the summer for walks! I have a fenced in back yard at home that can allow dogs to run around without a leash. Something about dogs is that they can really benefit from a nice walk where they go at their own pace! That’s my goal for walking your dog, whether it’s slow walks or a light job, I’m here to help!

About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.
“Alan was great with our senior kitties and communicated well during his visits. One of our cats turned out to be shy on the drop-ins, but Alan was patient and even found creative ways to get our cat to take his medicine. I would recommend Alan to a friend and would trust him again with our cats.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
She was great! Was prompt and communicative. This was my first time leaving my baby with a stranger and she made me feel so comfortable! She fed my little guy and took him on a walk during her visits which I really appreciate. Would book with her in the future:))
Kelly has been absolutely wonderful with my pups! She is incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. I have a lot of specific routines and details that are important to me, and she takes the time to follow every one of them. She is reliable and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my girls are in good hands. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond for their pets!
I love love love the detail of the drop in visit! I know Charlie knew you were coming today… He needed some good romping time… I’m so happy to have found such a wonderful dedicated pet loving Rover! I appreciate the special Care… Especially bringing the water… I know it makes him feel special like he’s getting an extra treat! Above and beyond treatment by taking his water bowl out of the sun! ♥️♥️♥️great pics too!
We were impressed by Kevin in both our initial meet-up and in the care he showed for our dog during our trip. He has a calm energy and got to know our dog. She's high-energy when outside and he took her antics in stride! We would be happy to book him again for future trips.
Jordyn was amazing. She was communicative, flexible and took the extra steps to ensure my dog Oby was taken care of. She took time out of her day beforehand to come and meet him, learn his routine and provided an unparalleled peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be looked after while I was gone. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be my first contact for any future trips.

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.
