About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with various breeds and ages. I’ve work with puppies, senior dogs, pitbulls, labs, doodles, and more. I am allergic to cats, so I am only available for dog bookings. Local to the Metro Detroit area looking to support dogs and their families 🫶 I’m am putting in my 2 weeks at my full time job on Monday and am looking for part time work doing what I love: caring for dogs. My schedule will be super flexible after 2/20/26 :) I am sadly living in a small apartment currently, but I’d be happy to care for dogs in a client’s home. I’m super type A and communicative. I would want to follow family instructions as closely as possible and provide a loving calm environment.
“Rebecca was great we had a pre meeting where she got to meet and interact with Theo who of course loved her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Will definitely use her again!”

“Keana does a great job for our new little guy Captain and Captain is super happy to see her when she gets here. She makes sure he gets bathroom breaks, food, and water, even takes time to play with him before she puts back in his kennel with a few treats.”

“Simply put Erin is nothing short of excellent. I trust her with my pooch like I would trust my brother or sister. Erin does an awesome job at taking care of our boy and she goes above and beyond what we expect every single day that she spends with Gabe. We didn’t just find a friend for our dog when we found Erin on the Rover app, but we also found another friend in our small community.. I always say that you can never know too many people, especially a professional, courteous, kind, and caring someone to take care of our dog. We never worry when Gabe is in Erin’s care as we know she loves him as much as we do and that is something very terrific. Thank you Erin for taking care of our guy and having a true compassion for the job that you do. It’s really simple if you live in Wyandotte and you need someone to care for your dog if you hire Erin, you will not be disappointed.”
