“Hannah was great. We left our 3 month old kittens and asked her to house sit. She was very communicative and kept us updated when we reached out. The kittens were happy and healthy when we got home. She also took great care of the house and brought in our mail. We would definitely recommend.”

“Finding Nicole was a major stress reliever after some last minute changes to plans required finding someone to watch my sweet little senior pup. She was very kind, understanding, and responsive from the moment I reached out through the end of the housing sitting appt. My 15 year old dog has a lengthy list of medications, an odd feeding scheduled, and is a bit slower these days. Nicole was able to connect with the skittish pup, manage all of her meds, meals, and occasional senior moments. I came home to a clean house, and most importantly, a happy and relaxed dog. I would definitely recommend Nicole for any of your Rover needs!”

“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”

“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”

“Nicole was wonderful! She came over before her housesitting to get the instructions and meet me and my two dogs, and then arrived right on time when she said she would. She walked the dogs twice a day, sent me pictures regularly, and my house was left in perfect order. I would definitely recommend her and will call upon her again.”

About: I’m the proud pawrent of a 4-year-old water spaniel, so I understand firsthand how much love and care our dogs need. My passion for animals started early — I even ran a small pet care business when I was 8! I love going on long walks and making sure each dog gets both exercise and affection. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own, whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior who just needs some extra care and comfort. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my day. I’m available weekdays and weekends for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I always provide fresh water, plenty of attention, and regular updates with photos, because I know how important peace of mind is for pawrents.
“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”

“Ashton was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets adored her immediately, even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her right away. She left our house clean and our pets so happy. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ashton!”

“Bre did an awesome job keeping me updated with everything and anything she did for my dog Bulleit. She made it really easy to go out of town and not have to have any worry or concern on how he was doing. Will be booking again!”

“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!”

“Casie was a wonderful dog sitter for the weekend I traveled to Chicago! I was very nervous to leave my puppy alone for the first time; especially after his surgery. However, Casie did a wonderful job taking care of both my dog’s health and ease my mind by sending lots of updates. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I am a former teacher and I love dogs as much as I love kids. Dogs are creatures who need attention, affection and lots of kisses! I live in the heart of Downtown Detroit and is walking distance from Comerica Park, Ford Field, Campus Martius Park, Fox Theater, The Filmore & Little Caesars Arena. I live in the heart of downtown Detroit and I enjoy walking my dog several times a day. We go to the doggie parks that are in close proximity to the apartment, and we have a dog park at my apartment complex that’s great for meet and greets with other dogs. I would care for pets in someone else’s home by respecting the area in which the dog is most comfortable meaning changing pee, pee pads, making sure their food and water bowls are full. And I will make sure that their dog is treated as if the owner were at home with lots of belly rubs. I care for my dog in my home the same way I make sure it’s a clean environment a safe environment, where my dog feels comfortable.
About: I grew up with three cats and help train dogs through the Leadershape! Now I typically share my dog sitting assistance with my friends (for free even!) although I don’t have pets in my own all animals will find a warm welcoming home here I’m currently working full-time, but I work in the evenings and come home on my breaks so plenty of time to check in on our furry friend during the work week I live in an apartment that has a fenced in yard for dogs and a neighborhood park nearby. I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!
About: Hi there! I grew up with cats but l'm also a dog lover. I dog sit my friends’ corgi and husky sometimes so I decided to join this platform. I also love going to the dog park and think it's the happiest place on earth! I have worked remotely since 2020 and I love that dog walking is built in exercise. I also am more than happy to drop in and dog sit. I live in a secure, pet friendly apartment building with a fenced in track area for dogs. It’s conveniently located in midtown Detroit, Michigan with safe places to go for walks.
About: I’m currently a student and working from from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day.

Medical Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Murat watched our 4 dogs and house while we went out of town. The dogs bonded with him and loved the games he played with them in the back yard. He made sure they got a lot of exercise. Upon our return the house was in good order and the dogs were happy. We will definitely use Murat again in the future.

Olivia was great! One of my pets is extremely anxious but she still took care of him and he seemed to warm up to her. We had sick pets and she took care of them. I was a little worried bc as much as I love my pets, I know they are not easy to take care of so the fact that Olivia and my babies got along tells me how great she is.

Lauren is an amazing house sitter. Our original plan was for her to only be around during the day, but while I was gone my pup had some stomach issues and Lauren made sure to stay with her nearly 24/7 while I was away. 10/10, can’t recommend Lauren enough!!!

Finding someone to care for your home and pet-family, especially a young kitten, can be nerve-wracking, but Victoria was great. She provided just the right amount of updates on our cats, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. There's no doubt in our minds we’d use Victoria again.

Ashton was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets adored her immediately, even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her right away. She left our house clean and our pets so happy. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ashton!

Abdullah was a great sitter for my old pup, had prompt communication and pictures, and followed the notes for feeding and walking times. My dog is older in life, about 75 lbs, with limited use of his hind legs and takes daily medication. Abdullah was able to maneuver him into his wagon, help him while outside in the grass, and take care of any accidents. It was a great experience working with Abdullah from initial communication about the booking to post trip follow-up.
