“We had a great experience leaving our young dog with Samantha over the weekend! Our pup loved her right away and we could tell she would be in experienced and caring hands. While we were gone, Samantha kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. We took home a tired and happy dog! We will definitely be using her again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of my own dogs and my friends’ many pets. I love to take long walks or sit and hang with animals if that’s what your pets need. I have had dogs in the house since I was a baby, most of which have been large high-energy dogs, so I can handle the big loud pups. My most recent pet was a high-needs senior dog, so I understand the anxiety that comes along with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I am happy to take care of any special needs and send updates/pictures to ease your mind. I have a soft spot for seniors. In the summer I work from home on weekdays. I have some flexibility when it comes to being able to take longer breaks as long as I can get all my work time in. I have lots of flexibility during weeknights and weekends! My home: I have a great home for dogs, with lots of open space and a fenced back yard. Since I work from home, I would be able to keep an eye on your pets all day long. I have a partner who is home most weeknights and weekdays as well. We recently lost our senior dog and we would love to fill our house with wags and barks again. Clients home: I have lots of experience pet sitting at friends’ homes, so I can adapt to whatever you need at your home. I am very flexible so if you’re curious about how often I can come over or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.
“Again, nothing short of an excellent experience and confidence that my little one will be cared for while I am away. From thoughtful play pairings to a fu rotation of enrichment activities, I know my little one is treated to a vacation too! I am forever grateful to have found Rachel and that she is a trusted part of our Detroit community.”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“I’m so glad I trusted Lavina with my two dogs, they seemed very happy when I picked them up ☺️ I could tell they had a very good time and were well taken care of. Lavina was very professional, she sent me very detailed updates frequently with pictures of my dogs”
“Audrey was a wonderful catsitter! She is a great communicator, which made coordinating my cat’s stay easy and stress-free. Audrey made sure that my cat was comfortable and safe throughout his stay. I look forward to booking another stay with her!”
“Abby did a great job caring for our dog over several days and nights. She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful, sending photos and updates. Our dog came home healthy, happy, and very tired out!”
“Kerri did a great job watching Bella. We always miss her when she is away, but knowing she was in a kind home made us rested.Kerri gave us daily texts and pictures. We will definitely be taking Bella back.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I recently lost my best buddy, and while I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. Every dog deserves plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship, and I’ll treat your pup as if they were part of my family. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work with pet parents’ needs and schedules, and I value clear communication, mutual respect, and reasonable expectations to ensure the best experience for everyone, this includes your dog I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special preferences you have for your pet’s care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This was our first time boarding with Kara and we are very happy! Kara sent pictures and updates on how toast was doing. Communication was great and she’s very friendly! We definitely will be booking with Kara again! 😁”
“A major part of any trip is feeling at peace knowing your pet is well taken care of. I knew my Penny was in good care with Gillian. I so appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you so much! 🤍”
“Christopher and Cassandra have been great for Diesel. They kept us updates about the stay, sending pictures and videos and letting us know how he was settling in as this was our first time with them. They were flexible with drop off and pickup times and will surely have them at the top of our list for next time.”
“Mou & Yanling were amazing with our seven-year-old doggy; she is a well-behaved dog but can be reactive with other dogs. They were very patient and loving, and when I picked her up, I could see how happy her stay was. They sent me videos and pictures daily, and my dog looked so happy. They also stitched and fixed a sweater she wore, which was so sweet and kind. Our doggy's stay was four days. I will book them again for my doggy's next boarding if available, and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Mou & Yanling, for being so caring and loving with Sparrow :)”
“Gabrielle is awesome. She is fantastic with Leo. She is great with dogs and Gabrielle their needs. She communicates a few times each day, sending pictures and letting you know everything is fine so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away. Gabrielle's dog is very well mannered and great with other dogs. If you're looking for a fantastic and knowledgeable person to take care of your beloved pet, look no further. You'll have a hard time finding someone better than Gabrielle.”
“Tara did a fabulous job! Submitted photos daily and kept me updated on my dog’s stay! I’m sure he didn’t want to come home because he made friends there…a great family, too.”
“It is so nice to leave for a week, knowing that my pups have someone dedicated to them as Yvette is! She keeps me updated with pics while I'm gone, and they have a nice yard to play in and comfy spots to nap/sleep. Yvette is on top of their meds and feeding schedule as well.”
“Jessica was super easy to work with, accommodating and her energy is 10/10. We have a big rescue puppy who did so well with Jessica, and we think was sad to leave her. Will definitely use again in the future.”

Kadi was amazing! She took the very best care of our precious pups, Walter and Dolly, and they loved her! She was great about communicating and sent adorable pictures every day - they always looked so happy! I will definitely be using Kadi again in the future when we travel.
Kara was an amazing dog sitter for Molly! She was very kind, attentive, and kept us updated with daily pictures while we were away. Molly got plenty of walks, car rides, and attention, and she looked like she was having a great time. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Kara again and highly recommend her!
This was not our first experience with Rachel and won’t be our last. Rachel was great! Our dog clearly enjoyed his time with Rachel and her pack as made evident by the video updates throughout his stay and by the fact that he’s still sleeping two days later. So much thought and care put into every day. Thank you!!
This was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was fortunate to leave her in Anna’s capable hands. She kept me updated during the entire stay and provided great care and attention to my 5 month old. I could see just by photos and videos how comfortable my cat was with her. I had reservations for any sitter, but I was a winner with Anna! I would highly recommend.
Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!
Whitney is the absolute best dog sitter. She watches my baby like she would her own, and my pup gets along so well will her doggo :) She has amazing communication, sends videos, let’s me play voice notes for my pup and makes she I know she’s not just alive and well, but happy and better than ever. We call Whitney’s house “Summer Camp” for Winnie and she’s so excited to go every time!
Gillian is the absolute best! Took exceptional care of our dog while we were away and really went above and beyond to ensure his happiness. Sent us great updates and we felt so comfortable and thankful to have him in such good hands while we were away. Could not be happier or recommend her more highly.
Hannah took amazing care of my two cats..one of whom is a kitten. This was my first time using Rover and my first time ever having to board a pet...she is absolutely the best person I could have chosen. I was gone for 6 nights and she sent pictures and updates daily. We did a meet and greet in her home before my trip so I could see how they react to her and see where I'd be leaving them. They loved her and I could tell how comfy they were when I came to pick them up. If you are looking for a sitter who will love your cats like her own, Hannah is one of the nicest, kindest people out there.
