About: 🐾 🐕 Caring Professional Pet Sitter! 🐾 Hi, I’m Stephanie—a lifelong dog lover from playful puppies to sweet seniors, I can’t recall a time when I didn’t have a dog to snuggle!! I provide dogs (or cats) with care, walks, cuddles, and attention so they feel right at home. From the senior pup who likes to lay down on the couch hi the high energy pup, I haven’t met a dog yet who I didn’t click with. I believe in treating your dog like one of my own family members. I determine my schedule tailored,also, to the needs of others! Whether it’s taking your furry friend on a nice walk outside, pet socialization, or providing them with food and water- I treat your bestie like my own!!! I am a professional caregiver as a Bachelors Degree RN, previous cat owner, lifelong dog owner, Mom of 4 and spouse. I also specialize in customer service as a skincare and beauty consultant-furthering my realm of caring for others! As a recent Cancer survivor, creating my own work schedule is very beneficial because life can be unpredictable!!! I love getting out for brief exercise and fresh air with your pets & in home drop in socialization with them, too, it is very therapeutic and beneficial to my health! I appreciate that you give me the amazing gift of sharing your pet with me! I do have a fenced in back yard and large dog crate, when I care for your dog at their home they have the benefit of staying in their familiar environment. Let me know if your pup needs socialization with my dog loving pup! I use positive reinforcement training & a caring tone to calmly redirect your dog toward best behavior. I believe animals thrive on socialization with people and vice versa!
About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.
About: Hi! I'm Gabby and I have pets my whole life. I work at a dog and cat kennel, so I work with pets everyday! My schedule is pretty flexible, and can make a time work for you! I am experienced with all dog breeds, and sizes, as well as cats. I am comfortable with walking, sitting, feeding, giving medication etc. I hope that I can provide reliable and safe care for your beloved animals and make their experiences better. I can provide walks, drop-ins and pretty much anything else someone may need. I hope that I can provide excellent services for the pet and owner respectively. I am located in Macomb County. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I’ve been pet sitting pretty consistently for the past few years! I do have a full time job, and do rover on the side! I have two yellow labs of my own, as well as a cat so I know how important pets are, and that they are members of the family. I treat my animals with compassion and love and will do the same with yours.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm and cared for all walks of furry animals! Being a dog owner of 5 dogs from puppies to seniors makes me the perfect fit for any dog/animal.

About: I grew up with dogs, and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Genesee County in Michigan as a teenager and at Soul Dog Rescue in Colorado as an adult. I have experience walking and handling all kinds of dogs and I've loved every minutes of it! I'm a WFH tech research worker so I understand the importance of routine and responsibility when it comes to care services. My apartment complex now sadly doesn't allow dogs otherwise I would have one of my own. The silver lining is that I'll use that energy to love and care for your pup as my own :). I have a full time work from home job so my hours are flexible during the week to attend to your pup! I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space. I love to keep routines as normal and expected as possible, so I'm likely to ask questions about what your dog expects on a day-to-day basis so I can reduce disruption and be a source of fun/comfort for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
