2. Tatiana & Andrew W.
“I would definitely recommend Tatiana for pet sitting! She was very nice and personable and she took great care of our cat, Mr. Wilson, and even sent me some really cute pictures of him which is nice when you're missing your fur baby :)”
3. Jordan L.
About: I have had a dog since I was 7 and have taken care and loved her dearly her until her passing last year. I enjoy giving pets love and affection and have experience dog-sitting overnight for friends and family. I will make sure your pup is very well taken care of! I am working part time, so I have afternoon and nights open to take care of your dog. My shifts usually start in the morning and end at 3:00. I can easily crate a dog if needed and thoroughly enjoy taking them on walks, playing fetch, etc. Whatever needed, I am willing and able to provide help in any way I can!
4. Yong V.
“I recently had the pleasure of using Yong through Rover, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. It was clear that he has a genuine love for dogs as he was incredibly nice and sweet to my dogs, treating them with the same care and attention that I would. One thing that really stood out was his patience and dedication. He made sure my dogs ate their meals before he left, even if it meant spending a little extra time to ensure they were comfortable. He followed all the instructions I provided to the letter, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs took to him immediately and I could tell they felt safe and happy in his care. Additionally, Yong was respectful of my home and showed a deep understanding of how challenging it can be to trust someone with the care of your beloved pets. Overall, I highly recommend Yong to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. He exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
5. Grant Z.
“Grant is a very responsible, trustworthy, loyal, dependable, and upstanding young man. He is in his third year of medical school at Wayne State University. Grant loves dogs and cats.He just adored his childhood dog Teddy, whom we lost this July. Grant was Teddy's best playmate. I could always rely on Grant to provide the best care for Teddy when I was at work or out of town. Having grown up with a dog and having a veterinarian grandpa, Grant knows how to properly and safely care for an animal. Your pet would be in the best hands. Grant really misses Teddy and would love to bond with a dog or a cat. He is excited to meet some dogs and/or cats, walk and care for them, and make a new friend!”

“Mandy is my go-to gal! She is very flexible, especially with my hectic schedule as an RN on-call. A huge shout out to her for the love and care she provides for my pups. Highly recommend Mandy for any pet care needs.”
7. Kyle C.
“Kyle was wonderful! We booked him for a drop in visit so our Lottie could get out of her crate on a long work day. Lottie can be shy around new people but she was happy to get out and play with Kyle. He showed up on time, spent time getting to know our girl and even sent a picture of her hanging out on the couch for us! We will definitely be booking again and look forward to having Kyle back regularly!”

I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!”
