Carolina was wonderful and extremely kind! She made sure my two cats were well taken care of while I was out of town, giving them fresh food, water, changed their litter, and made sure to give them extra love/pets. She sent me photos everyday. I highly recommend Carolina!!

About: Hi I’m Abby. I am looking for a fun and active hobby, dog walking seems to fill the niche. I bring a few years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments, from high-energy pups to strong pullers and reactive behavior. With a solid understanding of dog training techniques, I ensure safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog's needs. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners and happy, well-exercised dogs. I currently work part-time night shift, which gives me plenty of availability during the day to care for your pets’ needs. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate timing to best fit your routine. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, and exercise or playtime. I’m attentive each individual needs, whether caring for cats, dogs, or other pets, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

Nicole was awesome with Brady, our 15 year old Maine coon cat. We had her come in daily to play with him, to give him some wet food, and to clean the litter box. She exceeded our expectations with not only accomplishing all of those things but sending numerous pictures of Brady playing and being pampered. Thank you Nicole for the extra attention you gave to Brady. It made us feel more comfortable, knowing he was in good hands.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love being around them. I’ve grown up with dogs and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines — from playful puppies to laid-back older dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to send plenty of updates and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands! I take care of my dogs on a daily basis and I’d love to help out anyone struggling with the time to do so too! I play with my dogs inside the house and outside. I walk them, feed them, and give them good pats and scratches and lots of treats!

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

I’m so happy that I discovered Cynthia to watch my little puppy who is a handful. I loved how she took my pup through little training sessions through my backyard. Cynthia is a dog whisperer and my dog looks so happy when she was with Cynthia. I will now be a loyal customer. Having someone that puts your dogs interest first is so comforting

About: I currently care for my own pets, Sesame and Puffy, so I have daily experience with feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m used to paying attention to behavior, routines, and making sure pets are well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and take pet care seriously. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions to match each pet’s needs. I am currently working part time flexible positions so pet care would fit perfectly into my current routine and schedule allowing me to do drop ins and walks. I care for my pets by treating them like family. Loving them and making sure they are protected. I also spend time playing, giving treats, and walking them.

I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as I had two in my home. I also started dog walking/sitting in high school. This was a way for me to connect with animals while also engaging in physical exercise. I love connecting with the animals and ensuring they are taken care of when their owner has limited time! I am currently in school full time, but am able to work 3 times a week, or however many days are needed. My schedule is pretty flexible! First and foremost, I respect the owners items. I don’t cross boundaries and I abide by the rules. If respect is shown it is reciprocated which is necessary when working with others. I ensure I clean up and leave the place as I found it or better!

About: I worked at doggy daycare for 3 years. I have learned how to diffuse dog fights and read body language of dogs. I would say I am very patient with all dogs and love dogs of any size. I have also been volunteering at Michigan Animal Rescue League as apart of the Honors College at Oakland University and have learned some basic dog training. I am a college student at Oakland University and on the days that I am not taking class I will be available to watch clients dogs and take them on walks. I will mostly be doing drop in visits and walks but if I have time I would be willing to do overnights based on my schedule. I simply love taking care of dogs and will want to make my clients lives easier. I care for pets in my home by being patient with them and taking walks and interactions in general at their pace. I understand that by watching other peoples dogs they will be nervous so I will never force an interaction if I believe that the pet is uncomfortable. I have had dogs my whole life and have learned how to be patient and understanding of each dogs needs.

About: I'm experienced with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, and as the pup parent to one who arrived from the rescue with severe separation anxiety, I know how important it can be to maintain a familiar and comfortable environment when a furry friend's family can't be around. I currently offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks in the following communities: Auburn Hills, Macomb, Ray Township, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Romeo, Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, Utica, and Washington Township. I'm attentive and diligent in following any directions left for your pet's care, and more than happy to set aside time for scritches, head pats, and pup parent updates! What's more, my primary line of work allows me the freedom to work from anywhere with an internet connection, so there's no risk of being called away from house sitting for prolonged and unavoidable stretches. My primary work in TTRPGs is entirely online, mostly working evenings, so I tend to be pretty available during higher-demand times. Even if I'm on a work call, I have the flexibility to call a break in case of, say, urgent outside needs. First and foremost, I recognize that every pet will have different needs and expectations. I always do my best to maintain habits and environments as close to the pet's "normal" as possible, from meal times to outside habits and beyond. I firmly believe you searched up a Rover sitter instead of a high-traffic kennel for a reason, and I always aim for a standard of personalized care that reflects that intentionality.

Mandy was excellent with our senior, blind dog. She sent pictures, and she cuddled and pet our little baby. Our dog lost his mom suddenly (my mother in law). We needed the sitter for her celebration of life. He has been sad and trying to adjust to my home and routines. Mandy made him feel loved and we also appreciated that. ❤️
