About: Aloha, my name is Rhea. I am originally from Hawaii and went to University of San Francisco for Architecture and Community Design. I moved to Detroit in August 2015 and I am currently working with the City of Detroit. Throughout my life I grew up having pets and a dog in my house. Currently my family has a 12 year dog (Rusty), who I trained when he was a puppy. I started dogsittiting for over 10 years ever since I started babysitting. Families in Hawaii and San Francisco would ask me to housesit and dogsit when needed. At the moment I am having the puppy fever because they just make my day. I enjoy playing and being outdoors with dogs. Who doesn't love to be around them? I’m working on the weekends, but my schedule is flexible on the weekends. I’m available to check on your pups and take them for a walk. I will care for your dog as how much love and care for my own dog. I know how to listen and read their body language to ensure that they feel comfortable around me.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since my earliest years, so that’s a good 20 years of animal care taking experience. I am very comfortable around a variety of furry friends! Dogs, Cats, hamsters, bunnies— you name it! I prioritize pet safety and health, and of course play time! I can’t wait to meet some of your pets! I am an MSU student and I am working in Royal Oak for the summer! I work at Woodward Corner Market and if you live in the area don’t be afraid to hit me up! I prioritize cleanliness and health when caretaking for animals. If there are any problems concerning lack of food intake, vomit/diarrhea, lethargy, etc., I will make sure to inform you as soon as possible! I try my best to make others pets feel comfortable around me (without forcing them) to which they usually get used to me around the 3rd or 4th day 💙. I am open to walking small/medium dogs, just so long as we have a meet and greet!

About: Hi! My name is Alex. I am heavily involved in the world of animal rescue, and have experience with a variety of different animals. I have cared for and fostered dozens of dogs throughout my life, and absolutely love large dogs and bully breeds! I have also fostered and cared for hundreds of adult cats, kittens, and geriatric felines. I am a major proponent of positive reinforcement, and will not ever work with any kind of negative reinforcement or punishment based training. I am comfortable with some clicker and reward based training as well should you want to work on a few things with your dog and/or cat (I've trained a few cats to do tricks, too!) I am experienced in administering a variety of medications. I have three cats of my own ranging from 15-years-old to 2-years-old, and a 5-year-old 65lb pitty. Ask me anything! I truly cannot wait to meet your furry family members! My job allows me an immense amount of flexibility as well as being remote so I have lots of time for your baby! I can provide multiple check ins a day during the week or weekend. Although I do not bring clients into my home, I care for them in their comfortable home environment however they are most comfortable. It's important I maintain their routines and help them to feel safe and secure. For cats this includes dedicated toy time and snuggles, and for dogs it includes supervised yard time or walkies!

About: I have experience with dogs as young as one and as old as fourteen. I easily adapt to all ages, temperaments, and unique care needs! In my career, I have also been told that I project a calm and empathetic nature, and I strongly believe that the animals I interact with can sense that, too. I tend to get along with every animal that I meet, and my love for animals runs VERY deep. I spent the last 5 years taking care of my sick senior dog who has recently transitioned. From there, I have spent extra time playing, dog sitting, and dog walking my family members fur babies so I can continue to spread my love for animals ❤️. Furthermore, as the weather is beginning to change here in the Midwest, I have been able to take weekly walks within my schedule! I am also fortunate enough to have 4 days off a week, so incorporating a walk around the block is very easy to squeeze into my lifestyle. Although dog walking can be very fun and relaxing, it is important to be aware of your surroundings. Animals can be unpredictable, therefore, when walking my fur babies, I make an appoint to be cautious of other animals that may be in the area such as deer, stray cats, or other dogs. Additionally, it is important to look over your shoulder, because cars can be extremely quiet and hard to hear sometimes!

About: Hello, my name is Lauren. I am a pediatric speech and language pathologist looking for a side job that also includes my second passion (animals.) My mother is a vet and I’ve been raised around all breeds/sizes. I currently have one cat named Scout. I am flexible and always patient with animals. I have my own harnesses and leashes if necessary. I enjoy working with all animals and will care for your pets like they are my own fur babies (because I truly know how important and special they are.) If there’s anything you’d like to know about me or questions/concerns regarding your pets do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! I currently work full time in a school setting, 8am - 5pm, and have weekends off. During the summer months I am available every day. I am flexible with staying at your home and will treat it as my own. I am able to follow any instructions you may provide.

“Excited to have found Katie on Rover! Layla loves her habits so we really appreciate that Katie could come feed & walk her on our normal schedule. I came home to a fed & happy fur baby.”

“Samantha is amazing, she never failed to send pictures and get plenty of exercise with my insanely hyper dog, he just loved her. In February of this year I got into a horrible accident and didn’t wake up for two days, I lived alone and my dog didn’t have anyone, I woke up in the ICU and Samantha was the first one I got a hold of knowing she had a key. She showed and saved my dogs life, my keys were lost in the accident and I had no way to get home. She safely got the key to my family and Obsidian is safe and healthy with me traveling across the United States and happier then ever. I couldn’t thank her enough for being that reliable. I don’t know what I would ever do without my boy.”

About: I’ve have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I specialize in the care of small dogs and those with special needs. I have an elderly, blind, partially deaf Boston terrier of my own so I am well acquainted with caring for dogs. I work from home quarter-time and have a lot flexibility. I am present and available to meet your dogs needs. The longest they would have to wait to go outside is two hours. I have a fully fenced in backyard and a walkable neighborhood! I have one small elderly dog that sleeps all day and keeps to herself. I have elementary age kids that are helpful and also love dogs.

About: I have always been a dog and animal lover. I used to watch my neighbors’ dogs when they would go on vacation. I always had my own dog growing up- first a yellow lab mix and then an adorable little beagle. I have my own dog who is 9, Frankie, & I love to care for her. I have many years of experience volunteering at animal shelters and socializing dogs. When I lived in Seattle, I cared for a friend’s dog when she would be out of town on the weekends for work. I am available this summer to help care for your dogs because I’ll be studying for the bar (!) every day, so help give me a break from studying. 🤪 My sweet girl is pretty low energy and loves to hang out in the back yard, so she is pretty low maintenance, but of course I love to just hang out with her and care for her. I’m excited to hear back and have the opportunity to interact with some great dogs! I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, low-energy dogs, on-leash reactive dogs, senior dogs, and many breeds and sizes. If this is your first booking on Rover, feel free to use my code for $20 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/cassiw30987 I am available most days all day because I’ll just be studying all day this summer. I am available on the weekends and short notice as well! I will update my availability for when I’m not free though. I will respect what you want me to do based on what your dog knows. Essentially I will follow the routine for however you prefer the walk or drop in visit to go!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From growing up with cats, dogs, turtles, birds, and even a bunny, to being the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy, a shy senior cat, or a pet with special routines, I adapt easily and treat every animal like family. I’ve helped nurse a newborn lamb back to health while abroad, bathed muddy dogs after playtime, and made sure pets get all the love and attention they need while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or a playful buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. Hope to see you soon! My schedule is wide open for drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and overnight stays. Pet sitting is my full-time job so I have plenty of time to give your pets consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I take pride in being dependable, tidy, and respectful. I follow all routines closely and give regular updates so you always feel connected. I’m very active and love going on long walks with dogs or playing in the yard to help them burn energy in a fun, safe way. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or a playful buddy, I adapt easily.

About: I've been called the "mother" of the friend group. I will always look out your pet's safety, well-being, and health. I guarantee a loving environment. I work mornings, so I get off at 12pm. This allows me time throughout the rest of my day to care for your furry family. I own a house that is home to my puppy Bruno, we are a pet-friendly home with a large backyard area for taking your furry family out on walks and bathroom trips.

About: I have taken care of pets for the past 13 years. Including feeding, walking, bathing them and cleaning their rooms of any poop or vomit. I know the critical and non critical signs of stress and have plenty of experience with administrating medications as needed. I’ve taken care of pets that have seizures as well. I’ve taken care of all type of pets from hamsters and birds to dogs and cats. I do work with boarding as well so I will always have time to look after and care for your pets. My schedule is flexible and this fits right into my career field that I am currently doing. I have a fence around my background which allows for free roaming. I also have two extra rooms that are free that I can use for boarding if need be as well. I have no problem sending pictures and keeping pet parents updated and informed of the care of their pets while in my care. I also allow video calls for pet parents that would like to ensure the safety of their pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I had my first very own dog that my parents let me raise on my own and ever since then I never stopped. I’m always taking in dogs off the streets and giving them a place to stay I’m home full time so I have plenty of time for your dog!! I’m available as early as 7am!! So whenever you need me I’m always here to help. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup entertained! I have a crate if needed! We come with open arms and will NEVER put your dog in any harms way!!

About: I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own who are very socialized! I’m great at training fur babies if they need any and I have lots of energy to keep up with them as well! My partner and I recently bought our home in Detroit that has a good size yard for play space for your dogs! I also do date night sitting in the surrounding areas so I have no problem driving out to give your fur babies a potty break and some love when you’re out at work. I have been doing house sitting along with pet sitting for some time now so I have great references if needed! I am married, no children yet and as I mentioned have 2 dogs and 4 kitties! They’re all very friendly and welcoming to others. I work from home so I have time to give love and as many potty breaks as they need while they are here! I treat all dogs like my own. I have a fenced yard and will do lots of supervised play time in it! My dogs love to play with other dogs as well, all supervised of course!

About: I am a 37 year old animal lover who works in the service industry with a flexible schedule and adventurous lifestyle. My dog, Kiteboarding and camping are my top 3 passions in life. I volunteer for the rescue I got my dogs from and walk many of them on Monday's. Serving is great but doesn't always pay the bills and I have several friends who have loved sitting through rover, and I love dogs and cats so it seemed like a no brainer. I hope to meet you and your furry companions soon! Tuesday through Saturday I work at 3pm so can only do mornings/early afternoons those days. Sundays/Mondays my schedule rotates but I have room typically for one drop in/two walks before or after my shifts those days, I just am sometimes scheduled in the morning until around 430. I can care for your baby however you feel most comfortable and don't mind special requests or requirements, whatever keeps them safe and happy! I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs.

About: I oddly enough have three pets that are all different sizes, so I am well experienced with tiny dogs to large ones. I have a large pit bull, a tiny yorkie, and a small/medium bichon/shih tzu mix. My home gets crazy but I am very much used to it at this point. I am currently unemployed, so therefore I am extremely flexible with scheduling. I am available, early mornings, to late nights. Whatever is needed I would be able to work with. I take very good care of my own pets which can be tiring sometimes but I love them so much it doesn’t even matter to me at the end of the day. I usually take my dogs out at least 4-5 times a day depending on them of course and I feed them twice a day once in the morning and once at night; no later that 6pm. I also wash my pets about once every few months because my mom does get their hair groomed frequently.

About: I’ve always had great experiences of taking care of pets since childhood. From taking care of my own, pet sitting for friends while they’re out of town as well as working at a doggy daycare for a year. I have experience with both cats & dogs of various sizes and ages. I’m employed full time and unable to accept request Monday-Friday. My availability is Friday-Sunday for house sitting and Saturday & Sunday for dog walking and check ins. I cannot board pets at my home since I share my living space at this time, however, I’m opening to visit/stay at the client’s home if needed.

About: Hi my name is Andreea and I am thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate animal lover and experienced pet sitter. With over a decade of experience in caring for animals, I have developed a deep appreciation and understanding for all kinds of pets. Growing up in a family that adored pets, I was fortunate to be surrounded by a variety of furry friends. Today, I am a proud owner of one amazing dog, Noodles (a Cane Corso mix). Aside from being a pet owner, I have also worked at a kennel called Paw Print Inn Resort in Novi, where I spent six months doing daycare and boarding for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have also been pet sitting for many years, which has allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for the individual needs and personalities of each animal. Currently, I am 23 years old and enrolled in college studying Computer Science. In addition to my passion for animals, I am also a mother of two toddlers who have learned to love and respect animals just as much as I do. I believe that pets are part of the family and deserve the same love and attention as any other family member. I am excited to be a part of the Rover community and to help you provide the best possible care for your furry friends. Whether you need a trusted pet sitter or someone to board your pet, I am here to provide the loving care and attention they deserve. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I am currently taking my college courses online, so I am available full time for pet sitting. I’m pretty flexible with my time, so any animals in my care receive full attention to ensure the best care. When I’m caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Dogs are taken out on walks regularly to make sure they get the exercise they need and also get plenty of playtime.
