“Heather truly goes above and beyond ! My husband and I have been in Japan for almost 3 weeks and we weren’t once worried because we have 100% trust and confidence that Heather will take great care of our two cats.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, I’m passionate about making sure every pup feels loved and well cared for. I've been walking dogs since high school and truly enjoy spending time with all breeds and personalities. As a proud owner of two large dogs myself (a large and a giant breed) I understand the special attention, exercise, and affection they need. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands! I currently work a hybrid job Monday through Friday, with occasional in-office or facility visits, but primarily from home. This means I’m mostly available on weekends, and I can also offer weekday drop-ins or daytime care, especially if your home has Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pet company! 😊 I believe an active dog is a happy dog! I love taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and giving them time to run and explore. But I also enjoy spending quiet time with the more relaxed pups who just want to curl up on the couch and watch TV. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special.

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a little kid, and grew up with a mom as a vet, so a love of animals and concern for their well-being is deep in my bones. I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for three years, fostered cats and dogs for four, years, and currently have two cats of my own (and a menagerie of frogs and toads). I love caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and exotics of all ages. :) I work full time, so I can drop in early in the morning or evenings. Weekends are typically open and more flexible. I have a car and can come to you. I am happy to care for your fur friend in your home. I like to meet them ahead to build trust and will go all-in on playtime. Let m know if you need plants watered too!

“My kitties appreciate Chetoya’s visits. They’re super shy but will come peek out and eat when they see her❤️❤️ She is responsible and always responds quickly. Thank you!”


About: I am passionate about elevating dog sitting to an art form—where every walk is a mini-adventure and every nap is a luxury in my care. I have owned dogs my entire life and I absolutely love them like they are my family members. I love cuddling and loving on my own fur baby and I will definitely do the same with yours. I would love to do a meet and greet with your fur baby to make sure we are a great fit for one another as well as my fur baby. Please feel free to share any information with me so that I can give your pet the utmost care whether it’s their favorite treats to their favorite toys. Lastly, upon booking I will need verification that your pet is up to date on all vaccines as it is priority to protect my baby as well! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. They will be in great hands! I am currently working a full-time hybrid job. Some days I am fully at home while others I am fully in the field however, I always have time to run home to take care of my own pet. I have a large, fenced in yard and one fur baby who is currently almost two years old. She is very friendly and will provide your pet with well needed company. I keep healthy snacks and treats on hand at all times and I watch all pets very closely so they are always monitored.

“Absolutely amazing!! Handled my pups with the up most care she is so easy going and was so considerate of my situation and my puppies!! I got so many amazing photos of the time they had together!! Absolutely so sweet and such amazing care for my boys 🐾🤗”


“This was my second time booking with Khelsi. She was great with my cat just like the first time and was very accommodating of my ever-changing schedule. I truly appreciate Khelsi’s flexibility despite her having a packed schedule”


“Very reliable and professional. We will definitely ask for Nicoletta’s help again! My dogs loved her the second she walked in the door. They’re a little wild but she was great with them.”


About: I’ve been tasked with caring for family dogs including walks since I was 10, ranging in size from little chihuahuas to large golden doodles. I have ample experience with pets that have specific dietary needs and medications. I know how to handle reactive dogs on walks, keeping them and others safe even in high stress moments. I live in Jefferson Chalmers and work part time, so I can accommodate your schedule. I’m in north Detroit and South Oakland & Macomb county frequently as well. I am happy to follow access instructions and care for your pets from the comfort of their home. Upon the first meeting, I make myself quiet and comfortable in a pet’s home so they are in charge of our meet and interaction. Between shy cats and reactive dogs, I’ve learned how to foster safe environments for all kind of pets. I hope to build relationships with pets so you can have more peace of mind leaving them in my care!

“It was our first time having Megan watch our cat and we were very happy with the experience! She was very personable and great to work with. Her check in reports were very detailed and left us at ease knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to have Megan cat sit for us again!”


“First time using Abbey. This was a last minute booking due to work schedule changing abruptly. She worked with my schedule to do a previsit, very professional, understands large/gaint breed dogs behavior! Both of my dogs had no issues with her and immediately liked her. No issues during the visit or after. The dogs got a mid day potty break despite it pouring rain, which she cleaned up after the dogs cause 100 pound wet mastiffs usually leave a mess. Great experience with her. Will definitely use her again and would recommend her”


About: I am 24 and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I self train my own dogs.. give baths, trim nails, not only for my own dogs but my friends and family as well. I own big dogs as well as 2 English bulldogs so I am familiar with working with large dogs and dogs that need extra care as well. I’m currently on leave so open to all different days and times. If I am needed last minute I will try my best to accommodate. I have a big yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have multiple crates in house as well as dog bed and toys if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Megan — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet care provider based in beautiful East English Village. I live with my two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other calm, respectful pups. I provide a personalized, low-volume boarding experience from my home, where your dog becomes part of our little pack. My services are designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. I only board one guest dog at a time, ensuring constant supervision, individual attention, and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, a walk while you’re at work, or overnight care, I treat every animal like one of my own — with affection, patience, and professional care. I provide updates with every visit, and I’m happy to accommodate custom routines, feeding schedules, and medication administration when needed. Let’s schedule a free meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life — I structure my routine around it. With two dogs of my own, I’m already up early for walks, feeding, and snuggles. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit my boarding and walking services to just a few clients at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full focus without being overbooked or rushed. Whether I’m doing a drop-in visit, hosting a pup overnight, or stopping by for a midday walk, I plan my calendar so your pet gets reliable, unrushed, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in yours. BOARDING AT MY HOME: When boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment by only accepting one guest dog at a time. This allows me to give each pet plenty of individual attention and supervision throughout the day. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to having guests and do best with other well-mannered pups. I take time to carefully introduce everyone, and I require a meet-and-greet prior to first-time bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up with cozy resting areas, a large and securely fenced outdoor space, and plenty of enrichment opportunities like walks, playtime, and snuggles. I also follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible to make their stay feel familiar and reassuring. FOR DROP INS I aim to maintain your pet’s routine in their own environment, minimizing disruption and providing consistent care. I refresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and always leave your home secure and tidy. I also provide visit updates with photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Building trust through consistent, compassionate care is what I do best. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, they’ll be treated like family.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a little kid. I strive to be a companion to your dog and aim to match their energy to make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience for everyone! I'm truly a home body so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for drop in visits on weekends as well :) As a dog walker, I aim to provide your pup with a safe yet beneficial time as they not all get much needed exercise but also are able to explore the nature around. For house sitting and drop ins I pride myself in getting your dog the attention it needs and deserves while making sure to leave the place better than I found it!


“Melanie was great. She let me know when she was stopping by, spent time with my animals and shared pictures. My cats don’t usually come right up to strangers and they clearly felt comfortable with Melanie.”

Morningside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was great, communicative, took all of my dog’s very special needs into consideration and kept me informed every step of the way. Have already booked her again for an upcoming trip and I feel 100% confident in her capabilities and professionalism and my dog’s comfort and knowledge of her as a drop in care taker for him while I’m away.

Our dogs love Dana! We knew our dogs were in great hands while we were out. Dana was right on time and sent us updates and pictures. We were a little nervous leaving because our one pup doesn’t like thunder and storms were in the area, but Dana was great and made sure Cento wasn’t scared. 😊

It was our first time having Megan watch our cat and we were very happy with the experience! She was very personable and great to work with. Her check in reports were very detailed and left us at ease knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to have Megan cat sit for us again!

We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!

Nicoletta did amazing! I was unsure how things would go as our pup is dear reactive around her people, but Nicoletta took her in stride and it sounds like our pup began warming up to her by her 3rd visit. Absolutely would hour again. Loved getting to see all the pictures taken each day. Everything made me feel so much at ease while missing our babe. HIRE THIS LADY! 🥰
