“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet sitter with several years working in a kennel environment and as a groomer. I also enjoy fostering/training dogs for local shelters! I have experience with behaviorally complex dogs as well as working and giant breeds. In addition to professional experience caring for dogs, I also have three personal dogs that I train, show, and trial with in sports! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m generally not out of the house for more than an hour or two each day. I want your dogs to feel at home here! My three bedroom home has a fully fenced yard and is set up to be safe and comfortable for pets. Dogs who prefer to be the only pet are welcome to solo access to the back yard and one on one time in the house with me! Safety is always my first priority, so all dogs are crated for meal times and when unsupervised/over night. Please note that we have one adult cat in the house! While she is very dog savvy, I’m happy to ensure she is in a separate space if needed.
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.
“Annie and Dustin are fantastic! They are super friendly, prompt, and very knowledgeable about dogs. You can tell how much they love them! The best part about Annie and Dustin is how much my Ruby loved them! They embraced her licking and jumping like she wasn't annoying at all haha! I can't wait to work with them again!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!
“Lauren was great with Max and Lucy! And was available for next day which is super helpful with my unpredictable work schedule. Easy to communicate with, would recommend.”
About: I am originally from Virginia Beach, VA, and I worked at a doggie daycare for about a year before I moved to Raleigh for school. I moved to Michigan in December 2020. I currently work as a veterinary assistant and have been for about 7 years. I am currently in school to become a licensed veterinary technician. I am familiar and comfortable around all types of dogs, cats, or any animal really! I am well-trained and comfortable administering medication, trimming nails, or whatever your dog needs during their stay. I love to cuddle up on the couch or bed with dogs and spend some quality time with them. I really want your pet to be as comfortable as they possibly can while they are in my care. I can discuss my availability more if you are interested in my services. You will love that your dog(s) will be treated and cared for like they are my own. Pet care is what I do. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant but I usually know my schedule a month out so I can plan accordingly. Everything depends on the pet. Knowing where an animal likes to be walked or how they like their food prepared is important for a sitter to know.
“Jessica was so great with Binny—even when he kept laying down not wanting to leave the house (lol). The next walk, she showed up with string cheese to sway him. The best!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work from home during the week and come a go a bit on weekends. I wouldn’t ever be gone more than 8 hours for any animal. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of. If boarding at my home, I did just get two roommates who live upstairs and one of them has a cat who is friendly with dogs. There is a door to separate the upstairs as well.
“Dante was responsive and dealt with our non-standard situation (MIL was dog sitting, but she's pushing 80 and can't walk a tiny dog, much less our rescue maybe 2 year old, kind of unruly, giant 90+ pound Poofoundland) well. He went over the 30 minute walk time every time, he was friendly and responsive with both me and MIL.”
“Jessica is amazing! She has excellent communication and asked questions prior to Maya's first walk about which routes she likes and any routines that she has. She arrived on time and was very sweet with Maya as soon as they met for the walk. She gave her lots of love and Maya got a great walk in. Our sweet girl came home with her tail wagging and is asleep now. I had surgery last week, so as I heal, this made life easier for us and for our dog, while it's still so important to us that she feels good and gets exercise. ❤️. We will definitely use Jessica again and highly recommend her for any service that she offers! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
“Mat was a lifesaver for us when we were heading out of town and needed a dogwalker, he was new to our family but made us feel confident that our little dog was in great hands. We will definitely reach out to Mat for his help in the future!”
“Easily managed our large heavy puller on a walk. Reacted well and without fear or uncertainty when there was an altercation at the door between our two dogs. Very pleased.”
About: I've grown up with many dogs in my house so I am very comfortable around them! I got my Kona girl when she was a puppy and spent a lot of time learning how to train a high energy dog. She is now a very happy 6 year old girl :) I am currently in a masters program at Wayne State, so my class schedule varies. My classes are typically at night (after 5pm) so most of my availability is during the day. I am happy to discuss how I could fit into your needed routine! I am happy to take care of your pets in their safe space or take them out and explore somewhere new! I will always be careful to be respectful of your space and your pets needs.
About: I have a Ton of experience and love for my furry friends! I have always had a dog since I was a little kid and always take time to care for them as I grew old enough to handle them. I love walks, scratches, playing in the backyard and more! I’ve had dogs of all ages, so I have assisted in potting training, tricks and training of all sorts I work part-time currently, so 3/5 days of the work week I will be there. I get off around 430 each day so I can check in your pets right after work. Weekends I am completely available I have a dog at my home. I let him outside in the backyard multiple times and day and fit a walk around the neighborhood in atleast every other day. I also have my dog on a food schedule to ensure he’s eating enough and able to make it through the night without having to use the bathroom.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
Emily is fantastic! She is trustworthy and reliable. Always punctual and never fails to walk our pup a few times a week while we are at work. Ryder always looks forward to seeing Emily and their walks together or playing when the weather is crummy! So thankful for you! 🤍 Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets!
We had a great experience this weekend! She was friendly, helpful, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. She took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Jodi is a excellent dog walker and communicator. She provided full details about our dog's health and activity as well as photos. It is easy to tell how much she cares for the dogs she walks. I won't hesitate to use her again if I am lucky enough to be in the area again.
Jenna has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She is always punctual, reliable, and incredibly kind. From the very first meeting, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and my dog picked up on that instantly. Mia completely fell in love with her right away, which says everything. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my dog is with someone so caring, attentive, and trustworthy. Jenna goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker.
We love Grace, but Greyson ADORES her. There is no hiding how he feels by the dances and talks as soon as she walks through the door 😉. She always responds very quickly, is super professional, is wonderful with pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. If you get the opportunity to book with her, I highly recommend that you do!

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