“Callie did a great job with our fur babies. She was able to stay an extra night for us when our flight back home was delayed. Definitely recommend!”
“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”
“Brianna was great at giving updates throughout house sitting. Any questions or issues she made it know right away. I would definitely recommend and use her again”
“Sarah did a great job watching our dog Mack! She arrived on time, sent regular picture updates, and gave us detailed reports of how our dog did during the day. She clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing around them. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Gwen was awesome with our 4 puppies!! She has a very calm and relaxing influence on them. We will definitely hire her again. Hope she is available!!!”
“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”
“Randi stayed at our house and watched our two dogs,cat and lizard for one week and she was excellent. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Some of our pets have some special needs. She took care of everyone really well. She left the house looking exactly as it did when we left. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our house and pets.”
“I'm so embarrassed that it took me 4 years to submit a review ... but Chauna was so lovely, so great with communication, took amazing care of our pups, and sent needy mom (me!) a ton of photos. Thank you Chauna!!”
“Lovely first time experience with JJ. Handled my motley bunch with calm professionalism. I was out of the country, which always makes me extra nervous, but smooth as silk. Really appreciate the informative updates. Hope they are available next time too!”
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
“Jordan was very accommodating. Skye had him wrapped around her paw! She had a very lazy weekend, very spa like. Butt rubs on demand. She can be pushed to do her walks in the morning, treats will motivate her! Thanks Jordan”
“Liz was so sweet, personable, and attentive. Liz fed my dog, took her for a walk, and even sat on the floor with my dog to ease her anxiety. If you ever need a dog sitter in the Detroit area, I highly recommend Liz!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sierra! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, passionate, and genuinely caring she is when it comes to animals. Our spoiled, diva dog and our silly cat with one brain cell can be a handful—but Sierra handles them both with so much patience and love. Our doggy Milo instantly warmed up to her, and now sits at the top of our stairs and waits for her when we tell him she’s coming over. He also frequently refuses to eat for anyone but us and he will eat when she is there, which is huge. Our cat Gustavo is pretty shy but he comes out to cuddle every time she comes over. Sierra keeps us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was obvious that our kids are not just cared for, but truly loved. She treats our fur babies like her own. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend Sierra. She’s a true gem, and we’re so lucky to have found her!”
About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.
“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. from dogs, frogs, fish, to bunnies. my dog breed experience is everything from huskies, German shepherd, Rottweiler and more. Plenty of time for pet needs during the day! But as of right now I am only boarding/daycare on weekends. Same schedule stands for everything else! Walks! Bathing! You name it! The Rae Paw patrol has you covered! I make sure things are out of animals sight and or reach. Being that I stay in an apartment I take pets out frequently. am to make sure they are separate from others
“Wow, Camila came to our hotel in Detroit on time, was very friendly and professional. Our dog was very happy while we went to a concert. Perfecto thanks!”
About: In my experience of watching over pets, I have a diverse background im taken care of multiple species such as dogs, rodents and reptiles. I do now have issues with different species as long and proper instructions are mentioned and noted. I currently have a full time position however, it is a remote position, allowing me the flexibility of watching over your pet with care and provide adequate attention and support for your pet needs. Caring for pets in or out of my home remains the same. I treat every pet as if they are my own making sure they receive, food, attention, medication, and proper exercise on a daily basis.
“Really easy to work with and was great with my geriatric pomeranian and staying on top of her while we were out at a concert.”
About: I grew up with dogs and my family currently has a 7 year old Doberman and a 5 year old Jack Russell! I also have a cat at home. Love our furry friends more than anything! 🤍 I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule but my contract will be over in 2 weeks and will be available to walk your furry friends full time! I care for pets by making sure they are as comfortable as possible and being playful and loving while making sure all their needs are met!

“Dana is the ultimate pet person - she cares for animals will all her heart. Dana has stayed over night with my two dogs on numerous occasions and provided them with loving care. When she enters my home both of my pups are over the moon excited to see her! She follows feeding instructions, sees that they get their medication if needed, and keeps them active and safe.”

Abdullah D.Star Sitter
“Abdullah is really great with pets. He's taken care of my cat Peach while I was in Greece for a week. It was the first time I had come back from vacation and Peach was not anxious. He checked in with me pretty frequently because I was nervous about leaving my cat with someone and it helped me be able to relax and enjoy my vacation. He's also really great with dogs, as he's raised the sweetest one himself. He's the first person I would call to watch my pet.”

Randi was all I could have hoped for. She was calm, capable, and caring with my dog Java, who can be a handful. She sent me many photos and let me know how things were going. We will definitely work together again!
I enjoyed the frequent communication and photos. Girl and my apartment looked good when I got home :)
Chauna is amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter! She is always quick to respond, and kept me updated with photos from her walks with Mollie. We live in an apartment with other dogs, so walking Mollie is no easy task. It requires multiple trips up and down the elevator, interacting with other people and dogs, which gets Mollie very excited. Chauna calmly navigated all the challenges, and gave me peace of mind while away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cassie was incredible! Very communicative while we were away. We were nervous and so was our dog, and she sent pictures and assured us that everything that was going smoothly. We will definitely book with Cassie again!
Jordan was very accommodating. Skye had him wrapped around her paw! She had a very lazy weekend, very spa like. Butt rubs on demand. She can be pushed to do her walks in the morning, treats will motivate her! Thanks Jordan
Gabbie was the perfect sitter. We had such a nice vacation knowing that our dogs were in great hands. She provided daily updates and pictures.
Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!
Liz was so sweet, personable, and attentive. Liz fed my dog, took her for a walk, and even sat on the floor with my dog to ease her anxiety. If you ever need a dog sitter in the Detroit area, I highly recommend Liz!
Once again, Amy and James went above and beyond. Yoko and George look so happy and healthy when I got back. I wouldn’t trust them with anyone else. What can I say? I’ve been spoiled.
Really easy to work with and was great with my geriatric pomeranian and staying on top of her while we were out at a concert.
Ellie takes very good care of our pup and goes above and beyond with cleaning up before she leaves. Our dog is always sad to see Ellie go!
Very caring, very consciencious pet caretaker. Great with both dogs and cats. I have some quirky animals and everything went seamlessly with Danni. All of my pets clearly liked and trusted her. I would 100% recommend her.
Kylie is wonderful! She is very considerate, professional and caring. She took good care of our dog while we were out and left the house exactly as it was when we left. Will definitely call her again when we need a sitter for our dog.
Haleigh was amazing. This was my first time using Rover for an overnight stay. Haleigh met me and my dog, Jax, before the booking and I trusted her immediately. She is so professional and clearly loves animals. She sent pictures during her stay at my house and her communication with me was excellent. I recommend her 100% and will absolutely use her again.
Meagan has helped watch our dog Mack while she was struggling with some allergy issues and she did a great job!
Great with our two dogs. Reliable and treated our house with care and respect. Kept us posted with updates and pictures during our absence. So glad to have found Donna and would not hesitate to book her again the next time we need a sitter.
Breanna did a great job with our pets and while staying in our home. She was communicative and shared regular updates. We were on a trip with a major time difference and she was very understanding and patient with the communication delays.
Kat was a great sitter for our two older (yet energetic) pups! She took great care of them and sent us frequent picture updates. She was responsive and the dogs were healthy and happy when we got home. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
