“Katherine saved us in a pinch when our cat sitter for our wedding fell through last minute. She was kind, communicated great, and gave our cats extra love and treats. Could not recommend her more!”

“Kristina is wonderful! I have a very nervous and reactive dog and Kristina came over to meet my dog before babysitting and was great with my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates during her visit to let me know how my dog was doing with her which was much appreciated. Will definitely be a repeat customer with Kristina!”

“This is my first time using Rover. Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. We received photos on each visit. When she noticed a possible issue with him, she notified us immediately which was appreciated.”

About: I have 3 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits, and 3 cats of my own, all of which are rescues. I’m a lover of all critters and take great joy in loving on your pets! I have experience sitting pets of all ages from seniors with special dietary and medications needs to spritely puppies. You can be confident that I will love and care for your pets as my own. I have a flexible work from home job during the week for drop-in visits. I love nothing more than spending my evenings and weekends loving on your babies! I pay special attention to detail as I follow your care instructions. I respect your home and space while in it to care for your babies.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have volunteered with the Detroit Dog Rescue, so I have had experience with a wide variety of dogs. Wherever you are with your dog (e.g. training programs) I will follow that--I do not want your dog's schedule or routine to get disrupted while you are away. I understand how to approach dogs, no matter the size. I am a Real Estate Agent, so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere, so you’re dog or cat will get all the attention! We will go on walks, play, exercise, etc. I am comfortable working with animals of all sizes, various breeds, and all ages. I understand that pets are a part of a family and I want them to still feel that way when you are gone for the time period where I am watching them. I have administered insulin to a cat before, and other medications to dogs as well. I am a Realtor so I can work from home or leave your baby for the day while I go to the office. I do have some unplanned events for work, like showings and closings, but I will give him or her the best attention he or she needs! I will follow the rules you set for your fur baby. I will be sure to send you pictures, videos, and updates every day you're away.

About: Starting 5 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire, going on 2 years. This abundance of nuanced experience has allowed me to effectively to care for all pets sick or well, young or old, and small or large! I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about the last five years on and off. I love big dog breeds especially and have experience with German shepherds and husky’s specifIcally. I work from home 6 days a week and can give your baby attention throughout the day and evening. Saturdays I’m free to give your pup special attention. I have a husky puppy who loves to play and is full of energy to have a grand time with your dog. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Erin was so good with Faye! I felt very comfortable being away knowing she was coming by to take care of her. She was communicative and punctual. I would highly recommend hiring Erin to take care of your pets!”

About: As a lifelong pet parent, I know that your pets aren't just animals. They are family. I spent 18 beautiful years caring for my beloved Chihuahua and 13 years with my wonderful gray tabby cat. Loving them through every stage of their lives gave me deep, firsthand experience with senior pet care, strict feeding schedules, and the patience required for both small dogs and sensitive cats. In addition to raising my own pets, I am the go-to sitter for friends and family whenever they need a reliable hand. I specialize in evening walks and dinner-time drop-ins, making sure your pets get their energy out, their bellies filled, and plenty of love while you are at work, out for the evening, or out of town. I pride myself on being attentive, communicative, and treating every pet I visit with the exact same care I gave my own. My full-time workday wraps up on the East Side of Detroit, meaning I hit the road and am ready to care for your pets by 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday! Whether you are a commuter stuck in traffic, working late, or enjoying a night out, I am perfectly positioned to step in right as your workday ends. While my Saturdays are reserved for family time, my Sundays are completely open for extended walks and daytime drop-ins. Best of all? Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, my home is quiet, and 100% of my energy, love, and attention is saved exclusively for your furry family members during our visits. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Because I focus exclusively on in-home visits and neighborhood walks, my entire attention is locked onto your pet and their immediate environment. When conducting drop-ins and walks, I follow a strict safety protocol: • Gear Checks: Before we even step out the door, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are perfectly snug, secure, and escape-proof. • Proactive Awareness: During walks, I am highly vigilant and constantly scan the environment. I proactively watch for other dogs, wildlife, or triggers to prevent stressful face-to-face interactions entirely. • Real-Time Photo Updates: I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so I always send plenty of photos and a quick update during our visit. You'll get peace of mind seeing their happy face and knowing they are safe, fed, and having fun. • Respectful In-Home Care: Inside your home, I strictly follow your house rules, ensure doors are securely locked behind me, and make sure your pet is safely settled, fed, and comfortable before I leave.

About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.

About: I work in the medical field as a PA and also have a love for animals. I have my own dog and have grown up with dogs so I am very capable of caring for them! Caring for my own pet, Duke, and others fits wonderfully into my daily schedule. I do work during the days but often find myself coming home early. We do almost daily walks in the mornings or evenings and have lots of play time inside. Weekends are filled with outside activities such as dog parks, walks, or enjoying the day inside with friends. I live in an apartment downtown Detroit close to many dog parks as well as easy access to the riverwalk and other trails. My dog roams freely in our apartment/sleeps with us as any guest pets are welcome to do as well, unless specified otherwise by owners:)

“Dee was very good taking care of our puppies and following all of our directions. She even helped with household things without us even asking. We will definitely book with her again !”

About: Both my parents are veterinarians, so I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a turtle. I have tons of experience with animals, and would love to meet yours! I would love to come walk them, take care of them, and give your extended family some extra love! I work 9-5 but can work around that schedule & am free on weekends! I love to take my dog on long walks, and love to hangout with cats and play with them. In my home I take very good care of my pets and check on them often.

About: I love walking and running, I enjoy getting exercise and also love lying low and getting cuddles. Dogs are the best at doing all of these things and I thoroughly enjoy taking care of pups and making them as happy as possible! I am a full time student and caring for dogs is a great option for helping me stay on top of my school work and giving myself time to play with pups! I am able to accommodate staying active with the pups and also cuddling up with them. I am focused and very detail oriented which makes taking care of your pups easy! Helping pups to be their happiest makes me happy!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my family dog, Chutney, for over 10 years, and taking care of him is really what got me into dog sitting. I did Rover throughout college and absolutely loved it, and after taking a break during the pandemic, I’m excited to be offering my services again. Since moving to Detroit, I’ve spent the past three years dog sitting and caring for many wonderful pups. I previously worked fully remotely, and while I’m now hybrid, my schedule is still very flexible. Right now, I’m only in the office once a week for a couple of hours, and starting in July 2026 I’ll be in the office three days a week. The good news is that I get to choose my own hours, so I won’t be gone all day just a couple hours! This flexibility allows me to continue giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits pretty easily into my daily routine because I currently work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office once a week for a couple of hours. Starting in July 2026, my schedule will shift to three in-office days per week, but I’ll still only need to be there for a couple of hours each day. I also live with my partner, who is great with dogs and typically home during the day since he works evenings, so there’s usually someone around to keep your dog company and cared for while I’m briefly in the office. This gives us plenty of flexibility to follow your dog’s routine, provide lots of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I also make time for at least two walks a day, along with regular check-ins, feeding, and anything else your dog may need to feel happy and comfortable. I make it a priority to make sure your dog always feels safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I give plenty of extra cuddles, attention, and quality time so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands.
