House Sitting in Riverdale, Detroit

“Tiffany was just the person to stay with our super scaredy-cat while we took a long awaited vacation. Her calming demeanor and gentle way kept Rudy from hiding the entire time. Tiffany was very patient with me and all my texts and always responded with details and pictures. She is very conscientious and helpful with any and all requests. Though inconvenient she went out of her way to care for Rudy with long drives to our home during long days at school which we so appreciated. Our home was as it was when we left it. We were so thankful to know that our boy was in good hands as well as our home. Tiffany is a very special person and very caring.”

“Brit is has been a lifesaver for us when we need to travel. She stays at our home with our pup and provides the best attention to Thunder. Brit truly spoils her. Also, the updates and pictures Brit sends of Thunder while we are gone puts us at ease to know she is be well taken care of.”

“Ali took amazing care of my puppy Gunner. I loved her daily updates and pictures! It was such a relief to know my little man was in such good hands. This was my first time using Rover and Ali made it a wonderful experience. I’ve already booked Ali again for an upcoming trip and would recommend her for anyone looking for a kind, caring, and dedicated person to care for your pet!!”

“Autumn looked after our dog, Sheila, for 5 days... and she was AMAZING! She had excellent communication, she was punctual and looked after our home and fur-baby with the utmost care. I would recommend Autumn to anyone, and will definitely request that she looks after Sheila again. Thank you, Autumn!”

“Absolutely wonderful! Allie was an amazing dog/housesitter during our 5 day vacation. We came home to a spotless house and very happy dog. Allie was extremely responsive throughout the entire booking process and communicated with updates regularly during our trip. We will for sure be requesting Allie’s help again!”

“Last time Will took care of my dog he sent regular updates and took her on long walks alls very regularly. He was always responsible, communicative, and responsive.”

“I do a lot of last minute traveling for work and oftentimes finding my baby someone to hang out with at the last minute to be such a headache. I reached out to Keryandra fully expecting her to decline such a late request, but she accepted! My lab mix Pepper adores her. She is so communicative and understanding amd such a sweet person. Every time I’m headed out on assignment, we choose her to take care of Pep.”

“Miranda was absolutely INCREDIBLE! My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our two cats and our home while we were away! She gave our cats sooooo much love and attention and was amazing at being creative to administer meds to our stubborn boy. Miranda sent us daily pictures and videos and was even great about following our kitchen safety protocol for our gluten free home (wife has celiac & I’m newly gluten intolerant). Miranda was especially great with our temperamental girl kitty, and also left our home cleaner than it was before we left it! I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Miranda ❤️ We know exactly who to book for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Miranda! ?”

“Michael,as usual, did a great job with my Zorro. He arrives at the preset time and stays until we get back. He sends us texts and pictures at least 1 time a day. He leaves my house in good condition. Zorro seems to really love him.”

“Akala was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs! They were well taken care of and we got lots of updates on them during our 4 night vacation. She was very responsible and took great care of our house as well. It was super clean and just as we left it. We would definitely recommend Akala to take care of your pets and home while you are away.”

“Amy was great with our reactive and anxious dog! It was the first time he’s stayed with a “stranger” and we were really nervous but she definitely put us at ease. We definitely will book again ?”

“Lyz was amazing with my 2 pit bulls Julia and Rose! She sent picture updates each day and the girls looked so happy and comfortable with them. Lyz was incredibly kind, a great communicator, and very responsible. This was my first time using River and I was a little nervous to have someone stay in my house. Well….my nerves are calm now and I’m grateful I’ve found my go-to dog sitter!”

“Mikala was great with our two dogs! It was our first time away after adopting our newest pup (who can be a handful at times), so we were a little anxious. But Mikala took the time to play and comfort them, and I know our dogs were well cared for during our time away. We will definitely be booking Mikala again for future sitting needs! :)”

“Emily was great with our boys! We will definitely have her watch them again.”

“Loved working with Kejuan so much we have scheduled his next dog sitting. Responsive - which I appreciate so much. It gave me confidence he was committed.”

About: Hello all! I am a huge animal lover and have been an avid volunteer at various shelters for many years. I have been a trusted sitter for many friends and family members, and have pets of my own who are very much part of my family. I have a great deal of experience with many different breeds, some positive reinforcement training experience, and some basic first aid/troubleshooting experience. I will always treat any animal within my care as my own, and take my responsibility of being trusted with someone's family member incredibly seriously. I work from home on a varied, part-time schedule. I plan to use the late morning/early afternoon hours when I am typically free to do walks and/or check-ins and can do overnights as needed when my schedule allows. Making sure there is not "people food" easily accessible to the pet when that's a concern, being mindful of small parts they may try to eat and choke on etc. Making sure the animal has enrichment activities to make it less likely they will chew on or destroy anything they aren't supposed to. Paying attention to notes on pet profiles, making myself aware of any concerns with cats/dogs/kids/food aggression etc. Being sure to lock & double check doors before bed or when leaving the property.

“Shannon did a wonderful job of taking care of Misty. Misty is so connected with me that it took days for her to slow her mourning and begin to eat and play with Shannon. Shannon hung in there with her, and provided her the love and care she needed. She also kept me aware of how Misty was doing. And she left the house clean and tidy.”

About: I use to have a beagle and Pitt bulls, and they were the sweetest! I love their little personalities. My friend also got a kitten recently & she’s so fun! I love cats and dogs, but I’m very active; so walking the trail behind my house w the dogs will be great. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday and my schedule is very flexible. I have a trail behind my house I like to walk, perfect for pets! I will be available for multiple breaks throughout the day for walks. I’ll allow them on my couch for cuddles and movies. I can watch them for multiple days or even come to you, if you’re in the area. If they need a bath, I can do that as well.

“Maria did a great jobs. Hayden loved cuddling with her and she cleaned up after herself.”

“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”
