“Shaylin did a fantastic job with our dog! She stayed the full agreed-upon time, gave great care, and even took her on walks. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Shaylin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Jen was excellent!! The dogs loved her. She was great and I had peace of mind while I was out of town. She has a love and compassion for pets. She understood they are my babies and she did a wonderful job caring for them. She was more then willing to help and went above and beyond. I liked her character and trusted her to come in and out of our home. She has a beautiful spirit, fun and caring.💕 If you're looking for someone to care for your pet Jen is your girl!! 😇”

“Watching our 4 dogs is not easy but Madeline was amazing with our pups! It is great knowing our dogs are being well cared for while we are away. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house!”

“Annabel and Gavin were nothing short of amazing, fantastic dog care takers! Our dog probably will want us to go on another trip ASAP so she can spend more time with them and their beautiful dog Zeus.”

“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Sydney is great! We have worked with her multiple times. She is dependable and communicates very well, and she works great with our two dogs.”

“Suzanne H provides professional and dependable pet care. When she is taking care of my cats I do not worry about being away. She has made friends with my cats, even the shy one. I get updates, photos and she works her schedule to make sure my cats are taken care of when I’m gone. I’m truly grateful and I can relax knowing cats are receiving excellent care.”

Karen M.

“Shannon has been great with our puppy. She treats her like her own and has been very reliable. She is flexible with our schedule too which is a godsend. Cannot recommend enough!”

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

“Heather is excellent in communication, making sure she knows what the pet owner and pets need, and paying attention to the furry kids. Highly recommend!”

Andrea R.

“Adrienne is the best! She has watched our pets several times for us while we had various things going on and had to be away from home. She always takes the dogs for walks, always sends photos, leaves notes on how they did, makes sure they are fed, gives them treats. Anything we ask, she does. Couldn't ask for anyone better. Thank you so much!”

About: I currently sit on a board of directors and volunteer with my boyfriend at a local animal rescue. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of pets with special needs (one of my pets is special needs!). I currently work Saturday-Tuesday remotely and a flexible, in person schedule Wed-Friday. My schedule is designed for flexibility, so I can easily meet the needs of you and your fur baby! I have over 15 years experience caring for dogs and over 7 caring for cats. I treat others’ pets as if they were my home. I am available 24/7 and love to message photos and videos to the pet owner. If I have questions or concerns, I will always reach out to you!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.

About: Taken care of various dogs and sizes. From puppies to older dogs. I enjoy relaxing and chilling with my frenchie. I make my own frozen dog treats 🤸‍♀️ On my off days i love spending with my ralphi. He loves to play with other dogs and would like it if he had someone to play or chill with besides me. I have 2 dogs that will keep your dog company. Frenchie is playful and older grey labrador just wants to be left alone but pet all day by a human. Have a huge yard that doesnt have a fence and can see all of the yard.

About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. Seeing any animal/pet beings a joy to my day. I’ve loved being able to volunteer at different Humane Societies across Michigan, and look to adopt very soon! My schedule is super flexible, so you will not have any worries about myself being able to meet up with your pups or cats. My schedule changes weekly, so I am able to always make valuable time for your animals!! There is a fenced in area here, and many places I am able to walk/drive to to be able to take out your animals for whatever they need!

About: I have experience taking care of different breeds and sizes of dogs (small, medium large) through my years. From managers at work to friends to recommendations from friends of friends to care for dogs, I’m always eager and willing to bond with and care for your animal. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I own a very friendly and cordial cat named Saturn. I have had him for 4 years and learned much about pet care for cats and dogs through having him. In addition at least once a month I am helping out a friend with their dogs walking, feeding, playing, spending the night at the house, etc. I have only watched a dog once at my house before, although I do have fenced backyard and live in a family of 5 (2 adult 3 children) sized house. Typically I have gone to the owners house to housesit/ dog watch simultaneously. The dogs of the owners I have watched over the years do better at their own home and I do not mind spending the night.
