About: I've been a dog mom to a spoiled little guy for 9 years. My dog has medical issues so I have plenty of experience administering medication. I also have 3 years of cat sitting experience, including litter box cleaning, feeding, and administering medication. I also love bugs! On the off chance you have any you need help with, I'd be honored. I love animals and I'm excited to meet yours! I have a very open schedule and I'm very flexible. The biggest thing I need to work around is medical appointments, but once I have you on schedule I can book them around your visit! Your pets safety is just as important as the safety of my own pet. I'll make sure any needs they have are met, especially for disabled pets!
About: My life doesn’t feel complete unless I have little paws around me! Right now I have three doggos…A giant Lab/Dalmatian mix, a goofy Goldendoodle, and a small Cocker Spaniel nugget. I promise that I will treat your pups just like mine and love them as much as you do! Pets are a part of our family and should be treated like it. A lot of my life is dictated around my dogs, and that’s the way it should be! I never leave them for more than 6 hours and I always make time to play and stimulate them because they wait all day for us! I love taking my dogs on new adventures and to new places so they can explore! I will follow all of your directions and keep your schedule just like you would! I always think that pets do best on a schedule so I promise to keep yours to make their life easier! I will follow their dietary restrictions along with their training!

“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

“Jeannette is GREAT! Her pictures, videos, and report cards crack us up! We know our dog had the best time with her and we were at ease knowing he was safe. We will definitely be using her again :)”


“Rae (Jillian) is awesome! They come through when you need someone in a pinch or at the last minute, which is extremely helpful if your schedule is all over the place like mine.”

“Randi professionally amicably, efficiently and thoroughly cared for my Shih Tzu during this last trip that I was gone out of state. I really appreciate the way that she took care of my dog and documented with thorough feedback. I feel confident using rover.com because of the communication and the insurance.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of who I am. From Australian Shepherds and Pit Bulls to little Yorkies, I’ve grown up loving dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs. I’ve also house-sat for family and friends while they were away, staying with their dogs and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own home. 🐾❤️ My love for animals started at a young age. I began volunteering at animal shelters during middle school and high school, and I’ve continued that passion ever since. For the past four years, I’ve volunteered at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, where I help with events and spend several days a week walking, caring for, and giving attention to the dogs there. I’ve also always loved attending dog-related events throughout the years, including Mutt Strut, now known as Pawchella, along with other dog events throughout the Metro Detroit area. Being around dogs and connecting with other people who share the same love for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. One of my favorite things about caring for dogs is getting to know their individual personalities. Whether they’re an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they need. My experience has given me the opportunity to care for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d be so happy to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and attention I would give my own! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible work schedule. I’m a nail technician and work Tuesday through Friday, but I make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to plan around your pup’s needs. My weekends and Mondays are my days off, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m especially available for weekend in-home dog sitting and would be happy to travel to your home and stay with your pup while you’re away. I’m also available for drop-in visits and helping out when you need an extra hand during the day. At the moment, I’m unable to board dogs in my own home because I’m living with family, but I’m more than happy to come to you! I love the idea of caring for dogs in their own environment, where they’re already comfortable and surrounded by the things they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pup. 🐾💕 When caring for your dog in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away\. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pup happiest and most comfortable\. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection\. Whether your dog loves going on long walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m there to give them the care and companionship they’re used to\. I also believe that staying in their own home can make being away from their family much easier\. Instead of being somewhere unfamiliar, your pup can stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in\. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and one\-on\-one attention throughout my stay\. While you’re away, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own\. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual that may need your attention\. I’m also happy to send you updates, photos, and little check\-ins so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away\. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like they have a friend there with them—not just someone checking a task off a list\. I’ll give them patience, love, attention, and the care they need so they can stay happy and comfortable in the place they call home\. 🐾❤️

“We hired Cindy to walk our pup while we were on vacation. I was a little worried because we have an anxious pup who can be easily overwhelmed and slow to warm up to people. Cindy was great with him! By 2 days in he was so excited for his walks he was waiting for her at the door when she arrived. She gave him the time he needed to stop and sniff which helps him decompress. Since he is part lab she really tapped into those personality traits by walking him near water and places where he could see, smell and hunt around for small animals. She was punctual and sent pictures as well as a map of his walks everyday. I will definitely hire her again!”


About: I have taken care of just about every type of dog and most cats. I used to work at “Hallidays Pet Resort” in canton MI for years so I have lots of hands on experience. Super exited to meet you and your dog so go ahead and send me a request :) I work overnights so I am available any day from morning-evening, as long as your animal is okay on its own overnight I can do sitting for multiple days in a row I absolutely adore animals. Super experienced in animal safety and caretaking, I can also give medications as long as it is orally administered. I have a pit bull of my own :)
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or overnight snuggles while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and passionate about creating a safe, happy experience for both pets and their humans. Let’s get your tail-wagging adventure started! I am a college student and looking to have something to do in my free time. My availability is almost completely open so hopefully this works well with your family needs! I will not be boarding any animals in my home, due to having pets of my own and want the best for both of our animals.
About: I have been helping my parents with their pets for the past 15 years. At the age of 13 I was given my own puppy, which helped me understand the responsibility that it takes to care for animals. I pride myself in being a trustworthy and caring person, who loves to spend time with animals. I currently am in school for nursing so my schedule varies. I try to find free time every week to get outside and move, which is why I am looking for the opportunity to spend time with animals while I do this. I have found that animals tend to respond better to calm and collected persons, so I pride myself on staying calm under pressure. Many of the families that I have pet sit for in the past complimented my patience and caring nature.
About: Starting at age 15, my path to animal care began not only with taking care of family pets but also gradually walking for the local senior housing in my neighborhood. From walks to helping owners administer the less-than-fun medicine, I look forward to helping animals in any way I can. Big lovable Rottweilers to tiny kittens, I’ve cared for them all. I work a 9–5 clerical job, so I have a pretty consistent routine and enjoy having something fun to look forward to outside of work! I like to stay active, whether that’s going for a walk, getting some fresh air, or just getting out of the house. I’d love to have your pet be part of that routine while they’re with me. Whether they’re up for an adventure or prefer to hang out and relax, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day. Whether housing your furry baby in my home, yours or out on a walk, I try to be cautious to keep our environment safe and fun! While on location in other homes I respect privacy and follow any set house rules you have for your animal or me. If we are out and about on a walk I have animals leashed at all times and stay cautious of other animals, and can provide AirTag tracking to make owners feel more at ease.
About: I am an attorney with dozens of years of experience caring for my own dogs and pet sitting for friends and family! I have a shih tzu, pug, king charles spaniel, and a canary :). I would love to give your pets the same love! I am currently flexible with my schedule because I work remotely from home most days, so I am free for walks, visits, and overnights as needed. I definitely will leave your home clean and tidy. I care for pets by making sure they have plenty of food and water, taking them out to the bathroom regularly, and allowing them time to exercise and play.
About: Hello! I have a passion for dogs and would love to take care of yours! I am new to pet sitting but am positive that I will be great. I am a night owl and would love to make accommodations for any overnight needs that you may have for your pet. I update my schedule weekly. My home is large enough to accommodate most dogs. I do have a fenced in yard that any animal would love to run around. Book with me, you won’t regret it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Rouge
Shy was awesome. I had a situation where I was out of the country and my roommate had an unplanned emergency that required a hospital stay. Because Shy is so responsive and does such amazing work, I literally did not have to worry about my pets being properly cared for. An enormously stressful situation became a non-issue in less than an hour. I cannot recommend Shy more highly.
