“Have left our pups with Tammy a few times now over the summer. They always come back happy. We love seeing all the photos while we’re on vacation. Tammy was even kind enough to bathe the dogs (with our permission) before we picked them up. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!”
About: I had a dog aggressive dog for six years and it was always hard to find a sitter. We want to make sure other people can find a place for their dog where they will be comfortable and the owners can enjoy their time away without worry. We are home starting Thursday evening and would be available to take care of your doggie so they will feel comfortable. We can take your dog on walks and because we have the weekend off we can spend as much time as needed to make your pet feel loved. Together we have experience walking a dog reactive dog in the UP and Detroit where anything could happen at a moments notice. We understand how important it is to avoid triggers, and what to do to help you dog when it's unavoidable. We also have experience with old dogs who need medicine and low impact play time as well as anxious dogs who aren't sure what's going on.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABOVE & BEYOND If you are looking for a place to board your baby, stop scrolling right now. Seriously. You’ve found the best of dog boarding! Brandon doesn't just "watch" dogs—he basically invites them to a 5-star bootcamp where they also learn how to be the "Goodest Boys and Girls" in existence. Why your dog will love him (and you will too): * The Training Magic: The passion for training is real! * The Vibe: Most boarders are "drop-off and pray." Here? It’s pure love. * Best in Town: No competition. None. Zero. If you want your pup to have a better vacation than you're having, this is the spot. I’d give it 12 stars if Rover let me. Absolute legend! 🐾”
“We were 100% satisfied Michael did a wonderful job with Laya and Bronson we kept us informed throughout there stay of there well being would absolutely use Michael again thank You”
“Efi was amazing! Her and her family provided a safe and inviting space for both boys. She reached out the day before their stay. This let me know that she was serious as she had initiated the contact. She kept us up to date with photos throughout the entire duration of their stay. We had a pretty busy trip, but it was great to receive those updates! She was super flexible about drop-off and pick-up times (within reason) and this was very helpful because our travel plans evolved a bit after having booked. I would 100% recommend her! Thank you so much!”
“Queeny always takes such great care of Kaju! We went away on a two-week trip and I don’t think Kaju wanted to leave Queeny’s - even running back to her for one last goodbye! She sends photos and status updates on any new friends he has made during his stay. I know I can trust her to take great care of Kaju and I will always recommend her!! Your pup will be in great hands 😊”
“Paula is great. She provides a clean house, has expertise to keep order over the dogs, and has a great fenced yard. This was my first occasion boarding my beloved Bo, and was glad to be able to leave him in a place where he would get to hang with other good-natured dogs and have a yard to play for a change. Paula attended to our needs and my concerns. I wish she were closer for general "play dates", but if you are going to/from DTW, it's a very easy drop off and pick up.”
“Danielle was very responsive to messages and questions about caring for my dog, Teddy. She was very nice and professional. My husband and I went on vacation for an entire week and Danielle was willing and able to keep Teddy for that long, a lifesaver! We will definitely reach out to her for future bookings!”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
About: As someone who loves staying active and spending time outdoors, transitioning into dog walking was an easy choice. I know how important regular exercise and mental stimulation are for a dog’s health and happiness, and I’m here to make sure your pup gets exactly what they need while you’re busy or at work! I have full, open availability every day of the week to provide in home doggie daycare and boarding. Because I am home throughout the day, your pup receives continuous company, flexible potty breaks, and reliable care without being left alone for long stretches. Pet sitting is my primary daily focus, so your dog’s routine, meal times, and exercise schedule will always come first. My home is a calm, quiet, and secure space tailored for small to medium dogs up to 40 pounds. I have a huge soft spot for little pups... especially Chihuahuas!! I understand how sensitive they can be to loud environments or larger animals. I keep my space clean, pet proofed, and peaceful so guest dogs can settle in quickly. I provide close supervision at all times, follow your exact feeding and medication guidelines, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I grew up having dogs in my home and in my family. I’m experienced in caring for dogs that are diabetic or pre diabetic.

I like to get dogs out even if we go for treats.

“Dee was amazing with Kosi! 🐾 I really appreciated all the updates and pictures while I was away, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She was also accommodating when my travel plans changed and I needed to adjust his pickup. Kosi seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
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!

Dave is great. Cleo had a great time playing with the other dogs! She slept for a day and a half when I got her back and that's incredible for how high energy she is! I would just be cautious if you have a dog that is reactivate or resource guards. There's plenty of dog toys and beds all over the house. I will bring cleo back. Thanks Dave
This was the first time leaving Winston with anyone outside our immediate family. I was nervous but Anthony made everything so easy. Winston got plenty of walks and Anthony sent so many pics throughout each day that I never had to wonder how he was doing. Seeing him happy and settled made it so much easier to relax. Winston came home content and clearly well cared for. It was also my first time using Rover, and the whole experience was smooth. I'd recommend Anthony without hesitation and will absolutely book him again. Thank you again for everything! ❤️
Leaving my dog with a sitter for the first made us feel uncertain. However having Jamie as a sitter made everything feel easy and more comfortable. She was great with my dog! Gave her lots of care and attention and sent us many pics and updates along the way. Will definitely be using Jamie again in the near future when I need a dog sitter.
This was my second time booking with Krystal. Ace enjoyed his stay and even made a friend while staying for a few days. Krystal sent pictures and communicated with me while I was away which I appreciated. I definitely recommend using her services and if I need a sitter I’ll be reaching out again. Thank you again Krystal!!!
I was beyond impressed with how much I could tell that she loved dogs. I was actually pretty nervous about leaving Tonic with a pet sitter, first time jitters. But I'm extremely pleased to say that those fears were unwarranted. I would gladly rebook her and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends.
