About: Hi! You just found your dog’s new favorite auntie◡̈ I’m currently a student and working from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety & happiness of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.
“Randi is very sweet with our dogs. They are also tired out after the weekends she watches them. One of our dogs is highly anxious but he does great with her!”

“Bre was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. She is extremely professional, kind, and one of the best communicators we’ve ever worked with. She sent daily updates and photos and always kept us informed about how both our dog and kitty were doing, which gave us total peace of mind during our trip. She house sat for us and took incredible care of our home by keeping it very clean, bringing in our mail, and even leaving us the sweetest welcome home candies. Our dog Nova absolutely loved her, and it was clear she felt safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Bre even brought her sweet pup Ivy over, which Nova loved having as a friend to play with. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Bre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”

“Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.
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’ve owned a dog and cat for 5+ years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, transporting, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic breeds, seniors, and pets that need extra patience or routine. I focus on consistency, calm energy, and clear communication so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns you may have. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have flexible availability and can dedicate focused time to your pets throughout the day. I’m available for overnight stays, extended sits, weekends, and weekday care. I prioritize maintaining pets’ normal routines, including walks, meals, playtime, and quiet time, so their days feel familiar and low-stress. • Your pet’s safety and comfort come first • I follow all care instructions closely • Clean, secure home entry every visit • Reliable photo and message updates • Careful with feeding schedules, leashes, and routines • Calm, respectful environment so pets feel at ease
“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!”

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Mabel and Marty. She stayed at my home for 10 days while I was away, and I could immediately tell when I got back that they had been so well cared for. They were calm, happy, and clearly engaged while I was gone — which says everything. Charlotte is incredibly sweet and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She kept my house completely spotless, left the kindest note, and even had calming music and a dog channel playing on the TV when I arrived home so the dogs were comfortable and relaxed. It was such a thoughtful touch after a long trip. I felt totally at ease knowing my dogs and my home were in such great hands. I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.”
“Nicole embraced and loved our new family member (our 7 month old rescue kitten) the way we do, and adapted so well to juggling schedules for 3 pets. I continue to admire and respect her creativity, positive attitude, organization, and communication. Leaving for vacation is hard on us, so leaving a new rescue was extra hard. We enjoyed ourselves and felt at peace on our trip thanks to Nicole.”

About: I have grown up with animals and I volunteer at an animal care center. I have some experience giving animals medication if they need it as well :) I do work 30 hours a week, however I am still pretty flexible and open since my work schedule is not the same every week I’ll make sure their needs are met and they are loved! If you have a set schedule for when they are fed or go on walks, I’ll make sure to go by that :)
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. I work part time on a flexible schedule and can easily fit most visit schedules into my day. I take the time to earn an animal’s trust, and go at a speed they’re comfortable with. If your animal wants me to pet and lay with them and brush them and play with them or anything else, I’m there! If your pet is more lowkey or independent, I check in on them and make sure they have everything they need. I look to care for your specific pet, not just check in and call it a day.
“Kayla is a great pet sitter and has house sat for me on multiple occasions. Kayla has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, always sending picture and video updates. Kayla is also SO mindful of our space, making sure to keep it tidy and in order while we are gone.”

About: Hi there! I grew up with cats but l'm also a dog lover. I dog sit my friends’ corgi and husky sometimes so I decided to join this platform. I also love going to the dog park and think it's the happiest place on earth! I have worked remotely since 2020 and I love that dog walking is built in exercise. I also am more than happy to drop in and dog sit. I live in a secure, pet friendly apartment building with a fenced in track area for dogs. It’s conveniently located in midtown Detroit, Michigan with safe places to go for walks.
About: Animals have always been a very big part of our lives, and still are with our beloved senior dog Norman! Tara grew up raising and training a horse to show, as well as caring for her own dogs. Alaine also grew up dogs and cats, and rescued Norman when he was about four years old. We both have flexible jobs that make spending time with pups on Rover easy for us. Tara is a freelancer and Alaine works from home full time. Both of us have experience watching our friend's dogs as well as Rover dogs. We have cared for animals of all ages, all sorts of energy levels, dogs with higher anxiety levels, some who find pulling on a leash their idea of a good time, and senior dogs that need a gentle hand with more naps! Your little (or big) love would be in great and loving care with us! Since Alaine works from home, you can rest assured knowing your dog will get frequent potty breaks, and lots of attention. During their stay, we’ll treat your baby just like our own! They will be able to roam the house, chill on the front porch, or sit in the office with Alaine for the day (the office faces the porch). We welcome your dog on the bed or furniture with us, but we will be sure to follow any rules you have around that, of course. We have a fenced in front and back yard, but we will go on walks too. We typically go for a short 1 mile jog each day, so you pup would be welcome to join us on that if you'd like! We also have experience with picky eaters, pill takers, and senior needs. We will do our best to keep your pup in as much of their routine as possible while in our care so it’ll help cut down on any anxiety of them missing you. Speaking of missing you, we’ll be sure to send lots of photos because we know we love getting them of our baby while away too!
About: Hi! I’m Daniella — a dog lover and active walker based in downtown Detroit. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet couch time, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. My work is flexible so I can give your dog plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes after each walk or visit. I live downtown and have a flexible work schedule so I am easily able to go on walks, runs, or be home whenever it’s planned for. I live in a spacious apartment near capitol park dog park and the river walk. I have a car so I'm happy to host here or go to you.

I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better house cat sitter. Victoria was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Our cat normally will be distant, aloof and slow to trust, yet he warmed up to Victoria remarkably fast—something that almost never happens. Her calm, intuitive, and genuinely caring approach made all the difference. I was truly amazed witnessing the bond the two created with each other. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a perfectly cared-for home, which speaks volumes. Having someone this trustworthy and attentive gave us complete peace of mind. She is very pleasant to converse with when giving daily updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.

Bre was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. She is extremely professional, kind, and one of the best communicators we’ve ever worked with. She sent daily updates and photos and always kept us informed about how both our dog and kitty were doing, which gave us total peace of mind during our trip.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Bre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.

THE BEST!!!! Kelly gave our animals the best care! We came back and everything was tidy and orderly and our pets were happy and tuckered out from the walks and playtime. She went above and beyond in the winter storm to help shovel while we were gone. Would welcome her back anytime to watch our furry friends!

Zaria was such a gift! She went above and beyond caring for our three cats—two of whom are on medication—with so much love and attentiveness. The house was spotless when we got home, and the cats were relaxed, happy, and somehow getting along even better than before we left. She’s kind, reliable, and just a joy to work with. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!

Olivia was great! One of my pets is extremely anxious but she still took care of him and he seemed to warm up to her. We had sick pets and she took care of them. I was a little worried bc as much as I love my pets, I know they are not easy to take care of so the fact that Olivia and my babies got along tells me how great she is.

Ashton was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets adored her immediately, even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her right away. She left our house clean and our pets so happy. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ashton!
