This was our first time having Kelly watch our cats while we were on vacation and she did an amazing job! Daily updates and pictures were sent and the house was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Kelly! 🙂

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: 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.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I regularly help take care of my neighbor’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I also volunteer with animal shelters whenever I can because I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m very patient, energetic, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I love spending time outdoors on walks and keeping pets active and happy. As a student who also works, I often have gaps in my schedule during the early mornings and midday. I usually spend that time going on long walks or being active, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, and I’m happy to fit their routines into my day whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following your instructions carefully and paying close attention to their needs. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!

Heather is great! She kept the kitty happy and healthy while I was out of town, and I appreciated the photos and great communication. I am literally about to send her another booking request right after I post this review. Thank you!

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!!

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.

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!!

I highly recommend Alexis for all of your pet care/sitter needs! Alexis is always prompt, communicates very well, follows instructions perfectly, & has a true passion for all animals🙏🏻 She has also been very flexible with my constantly changing schedule. Alexis has already earned the trust of my very reactive & anxious rescue Pit! When I come home my dogs are very happy & my house is just as good if not better shape then when I leave in the morning! If I could give her 10 stars, I so would🙌🏻
