“Mary Kay is wonderful. She’s checked in on and taken care of our cats (one of whom is a terror) and big dog for years and she’s always been so kind, thoughtful, accommodating and amazing. We highly recommend her.”


“Callie was AWESOME!! What a treat to have someone spend so much time and care with my furry family member. It allowed me to not worry and know that Sam (and all of her needs) were being taken care of. Thank you, Callie! Really appreciate you!!”


“We had Randi watch our cats for the first time this past week. Randi kept us up-to-date with pictures and notes and our cats were well taken care of. One cat needs medication and he was great on our return. Very reliable!”


“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 : )”


“Our cat loves having Erica stop by when we were on vacation. She sent us pictures of them hanging out outside and overall updates. When we came back everything was taken care of, litter scooped, plenty of food still and water refilled. We'll be booking her again the future!”


“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!”


“Lukis was very kind and efficient with getting back to me. My situation was different I was in a state of urgency bc my pets were not being cared for properly while I was gone and booked her the night before and she came to help my babies I’m so appreciative and will be booking with them from now on.”


About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.

“Always great knowing that Ariel has everything covered. Super responsive and gives my kitties all the attention they'd ever want (or don't want...I have a couple of very shy kitties and she respects that) :) Definitely a relief knowing she's taking care of my little ones!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and truly see it as second nature. Whether it’s a wiggly puppy with endless energy or a senior pup who needs gentle love and patience, I’ve been there for it all. Rover allows me to step into my favorite role—the fun, reliable auntie—who makes sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active and love including pups on walks, park trips, and light adventures if they’re up for it. At the same time, I know the value of slowing down, snuggling, and giving extra attentive care when they just want comfort. From the tiniest 10-pound lap dogs to big 100-pound gentle giants, I adapt my care to fit each unique personality. Above all, I’m nurturing, responsible, and attentive—so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’m an early riser, so morning walks and breakfast snuggles are part of my natural rhythm. Working from home in the heart of Detroit allows me to give consistent attention and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. With the Riverwalk and several dog parks just steps away, daily exercise and fresh air fit seamlessly into my schedule. Whether your pup thrives on playful park trips or prefers cozy cuddle breaks, caring for dogs blends beautifully into my routine—I truly enjoy making them part of my day. I go above standard care by creating a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where pups feel endlessly loved. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I’m attentive, responsible, and tuned into their unique needs—because every furry friend deserves to feel safe, happy, and right at home.

“Ashton took great care of my baby princess! I received consistent updates and photos allowing me to fully enjoy my trip without any worries. She was patient and friendly with my cat who is usually a bit hostile, making re-booking a no brainer. It’s very reassuring to find trustworthy pet care and I am so grateful for her services!”


“Sage brings such a warm and loving energy! This is the first time we’ve had anyone do a Drop in visit and my dog coco is obsessed with her! She was so prompt with communication, met coco a few days before and even dropped in to make sure him and I are comfortable. We walked back home with an extremely happy coco who looked like he’s had a great time!”



“Joseph was extremely accommodating and helpful while we were abroad for a week and a half. He sent pictures, ran by the house to do me a favor, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. I definitely recommend.”


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. I enjoy taking photos of my dog and nature so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I’m available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.

About: I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or structured playtime, I ensure each pet gets the care they need. Located in a cozy apartment near several great dog parks in Midtown and Brush Park areas - looking forward to meeting some new four legged friends! I work full-time, and am free on most weekday evenings and lunch hours, as well as the the occasional weekend for walks, sitting, and boarding. Check my schedule for most up to date info. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure and comfortable environment, whether in my home or yours, and closely follow your pet’s routine to minimize stress. You can expect regular updates and open communication, so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Lizabeth W.
“Liz W. loves animals. She cared for our boxer for two weeks during the dog flu pandemic a year and a half ago when we were advised not to board him.

Occasionally she will call to say hi and Chance goes nuts when he hears her voice.”

Medical Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashton was super responsive and flexible from the start of our communications. She provided daily reports and many photos of our kitties throughout her visits. We have one kitty that is shy and often hides, but Ashton was able to draw her out for pets and snacks most of the days on her visit - miracle! Our other kitty is social and playful and we received many photos of her jumping and playing which made us chuckle. Ashton was a great sitter, followed all our tips and directions, and we felt relieved knowing she was watching our kitties.

Lukis was very kind and efficient with getting back to me. My situation was different I was in a state of urgency bc my pets were not being cared for properly while I was gone and booked her the night before and she came to help my babies I’m so appreciative and will be booking with them from now on.

Caitie is super!! So kind and communicative. My cat is so happy and calm when I arrive home. I know she is so well tended to and loved on in Caitie’s care. I love receiving the photos Caitie sends. It is just complete peace of mind to know my little rescue tortie is such good hands. Thank you so much!!!

Randi was referred to us by a close friend about a year ago. Her professional and friendly approach to animal care is so comforting to me. She is so thorough when she watches my dog that I am so grateful to her! In addition to this excellent care, she has noticed & informed us about potential house issues! I completely recommend Randi to watch your loved ones- just please leave some days for me!

Breanna is absolutely amazing to work with. I could tell she cared about my cat, and was genuinely concerned with her wellbeing. Breanna was willing to step up and help when I needed her to do an extra drop in last minute. She gave me so much peace of mind on my vacation, and I will absolutely be using her again for my next trip. 11/10.

Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!

Had Jordan pop in to take care of my cat Mimi. Followed, her routine and was amazing with her. He did an incredible job sending update photos, and making sure she was comfortable. I cannot say enough about how happy both my partner and I were to have Jordan look after our kitty.
