“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Beverly is wonderful. My return flight was cancelled so I was stuck in Los Angeles and couldn’t pick up my dog as scheduled. I messaged Beverly and she contacted Rover to modify the booking. She was able to keep my dog until I was back home. Thanks again Beverly.”
“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”
“David was great with our two shihtzu boys. He sent quite a few updated over the 5 nights my boys spent at his place. He has a great home and yard for the fur babies. He was also quick to respond for a meet and greet.”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Jess took great care of my boy, Drake. I really appreciated her kindness, care and flexibility w/ taking Drake last minute. Whenever I’m in Detroit, I will definitely be utilizing her services again. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“We have two needy doggos and Kayla was amazing with them! They returned happy, healthy, and very sleepy! She even helped continue our leash training for our Theo who doesn’t do well on walks. We felt so good about leaving our pups with her. So happy to have found her!! Thank you Kayla!!”
“My pet Titan received the most loving care I was praying he would get. Kerri was attentive and cared for Titan as if he was hers. Titan is not around other people or dogs, when we arrived he immediately took to the other dogs and to Kerri, he felt at home and that eased my mind of comfort he felt. I received daily updates of Titan's progress along with pictures. I plan to call on Kerri for day vacation for Titan or a play date with Ori.”
“Lasya was wonderful. She was able to accommodate our blind senior pup on short notice and took excellent care of him. He was very much at home in her home, and we were sent daily updates and photos of our dog as he settled in. She was very responsive before and during our dog's stay with her, and she was more than happy to accommodate the modifications in care needed for our dog. She treated him like he was her own puip for the weekend, and we would happily trust Lasya with his care again in the future.”
“Amanda and her husband are wonderful animal lovers! My Gidjit stayed with them for 4 nights. Amanda sent many pics of my dog enjoying her doggie vacation with them! I will definitely have Gidjit stay again!!”
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.
River Rouge dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was beyond impressed with how much I could tell that she loved dogs. I was actually pretty nervous about leaving Tonic with a pet sitter, first time jitters. But I'm extremely pleased to say that those fears were unwarranted. I would gladly rebook her and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends.
