“Kelly was amazing with my two cats and took wonderful care of them while I was gone for over a week! She sent regular photos and updates and I felt so happy seeing my babies so well care for. Both my cats were extremely healthy and happy when I came back. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“Cheyenne is outstanding. She went above and beyond for my 3 cats and I never had to worry if they were being taken care of when I was gone for a week. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have taken care of my own yorkies for 17 years and also had friends ask me to babysit their babies and of course my babies relied on me for fresh water, meals, grooming, nail cutting and much more. Outside-never alone, walks, play and especially brushing and petting on my lap. Lots of love I'm retired and home all day, with exceptions of Doc visits. When I am not home Hope stays at the house with any babies that I have in the home. I will be taking the babies out and be with them the entire time they are outside. I will play with them and have them sit in my lap if they choose to. Or anything else the owner would suggest. The babies are allowed on my furniture and to sleep in bed with me if they choose to.
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
“I went out of town and didn't have anyone to check on or feed my cats. Keana was super great and fast at responding. She went over no problem. My cats are happy. Thank you so much for helping me out!”
“My dogs love her, including my chihuahua who takes a long time to warm up to new people! Such a huge help having her let my little guys out in the middle of the day. Highly recommended! 👍🏽”
About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.
About: I’ve been providing drop in visits and walks on Rover for the past year and have built great relationships with returning clients. I treat every dog as if they were my own and understand how important trust is when caring for someone else’s pet. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners. I offer drop in visits and walks so your dog can stay relaxed in their own home. Whether they need a potty break, meals, medication, playtime, or companionship, I follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine calm and stress free. Your home and pet will always be treated with respect and care. I’m based in Allen Park and serve the surrounding Downriver communities. Because I work remotely, I have flexible availability for mornings, midday visits, afternoons after 3 PM, and weekends. My 14 year old Labrador requires daily medication, so I’m comfortable with senior care and mobility support. I also previously raised a Lab with IBS and managed a strict diet and close monitoring of his needs. I work remotely and structure my day intentionally so each visit receives my full attention. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure punctuality and reliability for morning, midday, afternoon, and weekend visits. I always schedule a meet and greet before starting services to make sure we are a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable with me. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, walking routines, and home access. I double check doors, gates, and leashes for safety and treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine. Clear communication and reliability are very important to me.
“Caitie was excellent. She provided me with excellent updates with a photo on how my little poodle was doing as she completed her visits. She was very thoughtful with getting to know my little dog, who is cautious around new people. I will be having Caitie back next month!”
“Erin was phenomenal with my cat. She had a google form ready to gather as much info as possible about my cat, very well prepared. She took the time to play and give him love while I was away, even provided many photos and a thorough description of how the visit went! Would highly recommend for anyone who needs someone to watch their pet(s)!!!”
About: Hi everyone.. My name is Fefe and I love, love dogs/ cats. I grew up with 2-4 dogs at the time and cats and know how to take care of dogs/ puppies/cats from training your pet basic commands, walking them on a leash, playing and feeding them. 😁I provide pet sitting at your residence while you are away on travel, or need a night off for yourself. I promise you, your puppy/ dog/ cat will not miss you while you are gone. I will take good care of your baby, take them for long walks, play with them, teach them tricks, even cook a delicious doggie meal. 😀Let me know what your pet likes, or dislikes. I work part time and I am mostly available on weekends for pet sitting. Drop ins/ dog walking is mostly in the evening and sometimes during the day. I am reliable, trustworthy, ethical, and take pride in all my pet sitting services I provide. Your pet is in good hands as well as your home.
About: Growing up around pets helped develop a lifelong love for animals. From a young age, I was often trusted by friends and family to care for their pets while they were away, giving me experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly cared for my aunt’s senior Dachshund, Greta, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and adapting to a pet’s individual needs. Through years of pet sitting, I have become comfortable handling a variety of situations while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I know it can be difficult to leave your pet in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize communication, reliability, and treating every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind for owners and a positive experience for their pets. During the summer, I work part time at a medical clinic, but I maintain availability for pet care throughout the week. I am typically available on Mondays, most weekends, and select Fridays, with additional availability depending on my work schedule. I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly so pet owners know exactly when I am available. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or overnight care, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care whenever I am booked. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions to ensure they feel secure while in my care. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I will provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I also believe in regular communication and can provide updates and photos for added peace of mind.
About: From a young age I have had a love for animals from rescuing/raising strays to finally working as an assistant in the vet field. I currently have cats of my own and Through this time I have learned animal characteristics and how to bond with them all while tending to their health. With medical skills such as administrating medications and a pure love for animals you can rest assured I will treat your fur baby as my own! I am currently a mom of two youngsters and in school so I am intrested in part time work that gives me more time to make memories with my babies. Although I am unable to care for your pets in my own home, I am more than able and willing to travel to your pets comfort place and utilize any and all tools available to care for your pet the best way possible!

Oakwood Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Keana took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She made sure their litter was clean, bowls were full, fresh water was always available, and that they had plenty of play and socialization time. She was communicative and sent great photos and videos as updates. We are so grateful for her for all the hard work and would absolutely recommend! Thank you Keana!!
Kelly was amazing with my 2 kitties. She went above and beyond by opening and closing blinds, to make it look like I was home, cleaning up an accident that Bruce had and making sure my cats had their play time. She always kept in contact by sending pictures of cats playing, eating and just lounging around. I definitely recommend Kelly!
