“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Jessica was amazing! She gave me consistent updates, was very kind and nurturing, and has a very sweet and pleasant demeanor that made me feel confident she would take great care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Steven was great as always. He moved something around on his personal schedule to accomodate my late flight so that I could pick up my dogs that night rather than having to pick up the next day. Would recommend.”
“Theresa and Adrian took great care of our dog while we were away for 5 days! They communicate thoroughly and share updates daily. They even went above and beyond by sleeping on the couch with our dog on his first night when he was showing signs of anxiety. Highly recommend their services!”
“Queeny took excellent care of our pup! She shared pictures and videos every day to keep us updated how he was doing. Her communication was excellent, very responsive, and she was flexible when we encountered a delay in our travel plans that impacted our scheduled pick-up time. We will definitely have Queeny watch our pup again the next time we take a vacation!”
“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”
“Robin took such good care of my dog, Cocoa, while I was out of town. She provided daily updates and photos, keeping me informed and reassured throughout the week. I highly recommend her and will gladly book with her again in the future.”
“Kayla took great care of my baby Chico. She was very nice and sent messages and updates the whole time during his stay with her. I would definitely recommend her. My dog don’t even walk with me because he’s lazy and he was walking with her. She’s the dog whisperer. Love her”
“Sofia, thank you so much! Sofia was fantastic. Communication was perfect, and much appreciated. We had a good meet and greet to start, which led into a very comfortable and fun stay for Ara. The pictures said it all, I coudl see my dog smiling in every photo as she was so happy. When a pet owner is away for 8 days for work, it precisely this that makes it a tad easier. I would highly recommend Sofia, and hope to have Ara stay with Sofia again in the future.”
“Jolene and Jeff always take good care of Hailey. She has stayed with them a few times since 2022. They are caring and concerned about her well-being. I highly recommend Jeff and Jolene as dog sitters in their home.”
“Jax had a great time with Natalia. He loved playing with her dog and my daughter loved that she sent pictures during his stay. Would definitely recommend. I was nervous as this was our first time leaving him with someone but would not hesitate to do it again with Natalia. Thanks for taking such great care of Jax”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve rescued a senior pit bull, cared for a 115-lb Giant Schnauzer, and given oral medications when needed — so I’m comfortable with pups who need a little extra attention or special care. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog gets the love, playtime, and snuggles they deserve. 🐾 By day, I’m a full-time risk professional… by nights and weekends, I’m all about pets! 🐾 Evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays, anytime fun on weekends play, snuggles, and belly rubs included. 😸🐶 Pets staying in my home will be treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, reinforcing training routines, or simply offering extra cuddles and reassurance. I currently have two friendly cats who are used to a peaceful home setting. I also previously had two dogs, so I understand the structure, patience, and exercise dogs need to feel happy and secure. My experience with both cats and dogs makes me comfortable caring for different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which means your pet will have full-day supervision, companionship, and plenty of attention on those days. Even on other days, I prioritize a consistent routine to make sure pets feel safe and settled. Living right on the Detroit Riverwalk is a huge advantage for dog care. We have easy access to long, scenic walks and safe opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether your dog loves an energetic walk or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I can tailor our outings to match their needs and comfort level. Above all, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely confident and connected while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“Kerri had excellent communication and updates. She took wonderful care of our dog and he had a great time. We would definitely recommend Kerri and will bring our dog back to her.”

Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.
Jessica was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time leaving Gumbo with a sitter from Rover and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She provided solid updates, sent great photos and overall I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing she was giving Gumbo the best care.
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!
Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. It's clear she loves dogs, and that's exactly why I keep coming back to her. While with her, my dogs get to meet new people (her family), play with new dogs, and have a vacation of their own. She's very responsive and provides consistent updates. I would recommend her to any dog parent in the area!
Michael was amazing with my little man, his updates made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my puppy for the weekend knowing he was in such good care. He went above and beyond during my little man’s stay, working with me so well on the random things involved with puppy adjustment. The next time I need to have someone trustworthy and kind - I know exactly who to contact and look forward to him watching my dog in the future.
Madrona was everything a dog momma could ask for! She was very attentive to banjo and what he needed and banjo come back to me after the 4 days boarding super happy and tired. She communicated with me as much as I wanted and I never worried how banjo was doing. Would definitely book again! People tend to thing my big baby is scary but not Madrona she fell in love with him just as much as i did and made me feel super comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! If you’re in the Detroit area please go to Madrona for all your dog sitting needs!
