House Sitting in Melvindale

“Andrea was able to accept my request at the last minute as my sitter canceled on me. She was quick to respond, sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. My dog was so happy and comfortable with her that when we got back, she didn’t really payed attention to us, but was by the door sad when Andrea left. I will definitely be booking again with her.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, growing up around dogs and learning early on the responsibility, patience, and love that comes with proper animal care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with most breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around pet visits, walks, and feedings to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m organized, dependable, and mindful of routines, so I make sure pets are cared for on time—even on busy days. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and prioritize maintaining a calm, familiar schedule for each pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and house rules. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, with doors and gates properly closed and hazards kept out of reach. I respect your home as if it were my own and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior and hospice pets, rescues, and multi-pet households. I approach every animal with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their individual routines and needs. I’m comfortable administering medication, supporting senior and mobility care, and monitoring behavior or health changes. I have extensive experience with shy and fearful cats and never force interaction, allowing pets to set the pace while prioritizing comfort, safety, and consistency I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with Fridays through Sundays off. Outside of my scheduled work hours, my time is dedicated to caring for animals. I am available for early morning visits and walks between 5:00 AM–7:00 AM, as well as evening visits and walks from 6:00 PM–9:00 PM during the workweek. On weekends, I have open availability and can be more flexible with scheduling. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while working within a structured schedule that allows me to be fully present during each visit. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety, consistency, and respect are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your space, and I take that responsibility seriously. In a client’s home, I closely follow all provided instructions and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I perform a safety check at each visit, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, and I use leashes or secure harnesses at all times. I do not allow off-leash activity under any circumstances. This policy is in place to prioritize safety and prevent accidents, escapes, or unexpected encounters. All walks and outdoor time are fully supervised and controlled. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and stress signals to prevent overstimulation or unsafe situations. For senior, medical, or hospice pets, I prioritize gentle handling, comfort, and close observation. I keep the environment calm, clean, and organized, and I treat your home with care and respect at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and informed while you’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, trustworthy, and low-stress environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

“Leslie was great. She sent me pictures of my dog and texted updates. I never worried once when I was gone and most of the time I was outside of cell range and had no anxiety about issues popping up and her not being able to handle it. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“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 :)”

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Karley did a great job watching Beckett! We’ve never left him with someone on Rover before but she was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. He also never eats when we’re gone, but he was eating within a day with her so she’s definitely doing something right!”

Amber C.

“Mary Kay is so great with the babies - even those who are difficult! She even left us gorgeous flowers. We love her! But I don’t want to say too many good things cuz then we have to fight other people off to get her! (Just kidding!)”

Liz G.

“Bre was outstanding! She communicated well and provided the perfect amount of feedback and photos to let me know that Coco was being well cared for while I was out of town. ☺️ I highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have experience caring for young, elderly, and chronically ill dogs. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes, and additionally have experience caring for cats and various small animals (ex. birds, snakes, rodents) I'm currently employed part time and have plenty of time for caring for your fur baby! My weekends are usually open and I am available most afternoons and some evenings and mornings. You can count on me to provide top-notch care for your pets! I absolute adore all animals and will alway treat any pets as well as I would want mine treated.

About: I used to work with dogs at a dog daycare when I was 19 and it really was the way I learned for my passions for animals. I really enjoy other animals as well as I’ve learned from my most recent endeavors with volunteering at a bird sanctuary in my home state and helping my grandmother raise and train her dog. I’m also no stranger to stepping in to care for cats and even pet rodents! I’m currently working part time at a breakfast cafe so I’m usually home in the mid afternoons and plan to spend a good chunk of my days doing rover services. I am very observant and wont follow or corner any of the pets I care for but I can keep a good eye on them without making any animals nervous. Safety is very important to me for both me and the pet I’m looking after.

About: Hi, we're both animal lovers who grew up with great pups! Theresa grew up with golden retrievers (Magellan and Rowan) and A.K. grew up with an Old English Sheepdog (Seymour). We both have experience with dogs from puppy to senior. Growing up, A.K. also dogsat for multiple families in his neighborhood. Theresa is a runner and would love to (with your permission) take your dog for a fun walk, jog, or adventure to the dog park. If your pup is more of a couch potato, A.K. will be their best friend. Our friends and family have lots of dogs so we're comfortable and familiar interacting with various breeds of dogs (Pugs, Poodles, Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Bernedoodles just to name a few). **We require a 2 night minimum for bookings besides for repeat clients** We both have some flexibility to work from home and are organized, diligent, and honest. Due to the nature of our careers and just having built a house we know how key customer service, safety, and communication are and we're always available by phone, email, text, app, etc. Our home is close to Midtown and Downtown Detroit and we designed it with our future dog(s) in mind! We have a dog wash in our mud room, a fenced in back/side yard, and a dedicated lit, sleeping/crate space on the 1st floor under the stairs (kinda like Harry Potter!) Our home has central air and all flooring is tile so any fluffy dogs will stay cool during the warmer months.

About: I do take care of pets (small to medium sized pets) since I was 10 years old. I can teach sign language to pets. I love to playing with pets. I’m currently working full time work from home. I can do feed them, walking them, bring them to dog park. I use my smart watches remind me. I have a fenced yard. I can do crate if dogs feel not comfortable with others. Put human foods away from pets. Always check water for pets.

“Gabrielle did a great job taking care of my old lab, Duke and our house while we were out of town. She contacted me regularly throughout the entire process of hiring her and while she was staying with my fur-baby. I highly recommend her and will call her back for future services if needed.”

“Amy is kind, dependable and took great care of my cat, including the administration of medication twice a day. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept my home in good order. Highly recommend. Will use again.”
