“LaTasha is very pleasant and was a joy to leave my pet with. She shared updates regularly, as requested and I look forward to Pepper staying with her again someday.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and am first in line to take care of friends and families pets now that I dont have any of my own. I would love to show your pet the love and care they deserve while they are with me. I have expiriance with puppies and senior dogs and dogs and everything in between. I work remotely monday and Tuesday with the ability to take very regular breaks for walks and playtime. My weekends are free as well and I can take overnight stays easily. My apartment is first level and has easy access to the outside for walks and playtime. There are currently no other pets in my home, so all attention will be given to your best friend.
“Lisah was a God send. She took Puma in like Puma was her own dog. Lisah sent picture updates pretty much every day so I could see how Puma was adjusting and thriving. Lisah followed my eating instructions for Puma to the letter and made sure Puma was well nourished while I was away and made Puma feel like part of her family. Lisah dog Rose and Puma got well acquainted during the meet and greet we had the day before Puma’s stay began and it went really well. I knew then that this was a good fit for Puma and I. Thank you Lisah for making Puma’s stay safe a blessed one.”
“Ashley was our life saver with watching our new puppy! We had a family trip planned long before knowing when we’d get our puppy and the timing was such that we needed help! She met with us prior, and learned after that she needed to give two medications (which she was not troubled by in the least!) Ashley sent us regular photos and videos and we could tell our new fur baby was in excellent hands! She also accommodated our very late arrival to pick up. She has set the bar high, as this was our first experience! Your pet will be well loved with Ashley.”
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“Jacob was great and very accommodating when we needed him to keep Rocky an extra day longer than what we originally booked. Rocky seemed like he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up lol. The only thing Jacob didn’t do that I’m used to with other sitters is send pics/updates throughout the stay. Other than that, I would use him again and give him 5 stars.”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Joan of Bark stayed with Anna and it was great - sometimes Joan gets nervous and doesn’t eat or drink well, but Joan felt comfortable and was eating all her meals and drinking early in into her stay!! We got tons of pictures and updates which always helps. We would highly recommend Anna!”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
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 will care for your fur babies like they’re my own and make them feel at home. They will get plenty love and attention while they are in my care. I currently work on Monday through Thursday and at home on Fridays. I will always make sure your fur baby is cared for as directed. I have a fenced in yard and we will also go on walks. I like to get dogs out even if we go for treats.
About: Hi, I’m Bre-Ana but you can call me Bree. I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’ve spent my life caring for family, friends’, and neighbors’ pets—and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and hope to get back to volunteering soon because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing with someone they trust, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. Notice: Every pet has different needs, and I believe finding the right fit is important for everyone. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of the pets in my care and maintain open communication with pet parents throughout their stay. If a situation requires care beyond what I can responsibly provide in my home, I believe in communicating honestly to find the best solution for the pet. I currently work full-time from 6:00 AM–2:00 PM, which means I’m available most afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m also available on my days off (Tuesday and Wednesday) and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I will care for your pets by loving, playing and cuddling with them. Most importantly making sure they have a safe environment and feel loved.
About: I’ve had childhood animals as well as my own of all shapes and sizes. I’ve fostered multiple dogs at a time. I work from home so I will be with your pet all day. I have experience with sick dogs as well that may need medication on a schedule. I work from home so I’ll be available for your pet all day. I’m available for boarding, dog walking, or potty breaks mon-sun. I have a fenced yard and 3 children ages 12, 4, and 2 that would love on your pet all day long. I have room for a crate if your dog needs one as well.
“Debbie watched our 14 year old golden retriever Maggie for 11 days. She was great with updated photos of Maggie. Maggie was well cared for and we were very happy with Debbie.”
“Zaniya was very attentive to my baby Bizkit. She also allowed me to text her for photos and FaceTime (when needed). He got to finally play with other dogs, be more of an outside dog (he's normally an inside dog). Although he suffered from separation anxiety as this being his first time away from my family for more than a day, he adjusted very well as an untrained puppy. I thank God for her communication and will book again when I travel again in the near future. Thanks again!”
“Sogol was so kind and caring and treated my dog as her own! I received the perfect amount of photos each day and a daily summary. highly recommend and I will definitely request Sogol again!”
“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melvindale
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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
