“Gabrielle is a 10/10! She is so easy to work with and did a great job with my two cats when I was away for a few days. I felt very comfortable leaving her with the cats and she did everything and more for them. Her communication is also very reliable and responded very quickly. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs both large and small for 10 years for friends and family, both in their home and my own. Willing to walk, play, feed, water, administer basic medications or just provide companionship. Trustworthy, compassionate and reliable. I currently work Monday to Friday but have open availability all day on weekends as well as weekdays after 6pm. I have my own dog and cat as well. I do live in an apartment so would be limited to one dog in my home. I have a 24 pound Cavachon who is friendly with all dogs. I walk my dog multiple times a day and would give yours the same care. I also have a medium kennel if your dog requires that for short absences if that is an option. At a clients home I can play with the pet in a fenced yard or offer 30-60 minute walks multiple times a day. Will feed, play, clean up after pottying, and will give your pet plenty of love and pets!!
“I have used Jennifer 3 times! She’s always wonderful with my kitty! She does extra and over and above to please my very skittish kitty! I will use her everytime! 😇😍”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and worked in the veterinary field for over 16 years. I’ve completed multiple hours of continuing education, cared for elderly pets, understand signs of illness, and have trusted resources available for emergencies. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic but have flexibility. Early mornings and after 6pm is best for me. Weekends I am usually free all day. When caring for your pets in your home, I will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’ll follow their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, administer medications as instructed, keep their environment clean, and give them plenty of companionship and affection. With over 16 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that a pet may not be feeling well. I’ll keep you updated during my visits and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I had a dog for 6 years and have taken care of many cats for friends. I love animals but can't have any pets in my college dorm... so I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away! I'm a college student and I make my schedule so that I have a lot of free time for myself. When you book, I'll let you know the specific times I can drop by! In your home, I'll follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way you always do. I'll treat them like my own and follow the routine they're used to :)
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”
About: I have been working with people's furry family members on and off for about 10 years now. Aside from working in doggy daycare and boarding, I've cared for animals of friends and family throughout my life. Keeping animals well taken care of and well enriched is my specialty. I am also a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College. I'll be available for sitting on weekends and eventually full-time! Walks and training sessions can always be incorporated into my week. Please reach out so we can make your schedule work! I have pet sat and worked in boarding/daycare facilities for years. There is almost no situation I couldn't accommodate. Whether it be special preferences you might have for your furry buddy or necessities like administering important medication, there is almost no situation I wouldn't be happy to oblige when taking care of your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!

I’m a high-level professional by day, which means I’m organized, punctual, and communicate clearly. When I’m with your pet, I’m 100% focused on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I make it a point to keep you updated with photos and notes so you never have to wonder how they’re doing!! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide your pet with the dedicated attention, frequent potty breaks, and consistent companionship they deserve. Because I am home throughout the day, I am able to offer a stress-free environment for dogs who might experience separation anxiety or those who simply thrive on having someone nearby. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, playtime in the yard, or a quiet nap under my desk while I finish up my workday, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Your pet’s safety is my priority. Whether in my home or yours, I provide constant supervision, reliable communication, and strict adherence to your pet's established routine.

“Mason is fantastic. Open with all communication and willing to make plans together as a team for the best outcomes for your pet. We have already booked Mason for a future stay and are delighted to have someone we trust and like to take care of our pets.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and true animal lover with hands on care experience. I’m calm, reliable, and confident.I also have experience administering medications, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands. Im currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of extra time for your babies! I don’t mind early mornings or late nights. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect while visiting or staying in your home. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable in their own environment.
“Carla did a great job watching our three cats. We had a tougher situation needing to separate one from the others but she did an excellent job communicating with us how they were doing and spending time with them!”
About: I’ve been taking care of various animals big and small since I was young. I have experience with puppies, sick dogs and nervous ones. I have also worked with cats too! I work part-time and go to university. I am a commuter so I’m all over Metro Detroit! While my schedule changes each semester I keep relatively the same structure and availability! I like to maintain a clean environment and keep pets healthy. I have experience administering medication such as pills and I am able to accommodate any special needs of pets :)
“The best sitter I’ve ever had. Polite, responsible, and puts in that extra effort to help while we were away. I felt very comfortable having her taking care of my Tucker. Thank you Rover! And a special thanks to Sarah.”
About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️
Libby is our go-to pet sitter for our cat. She gives her lots of pets & attention in addition to her daily care routine. She also helps us with our outdoor friends in terms of feeding the birds & squirrels. We feel extremely comfortable with Libby caring for our cat while we are out of town.
Emma, Was a gem! She was so kind and deligent about her care for our fur son. He had never been left by himself so the mom guilt was real. Her services our wonderful and her heart is extra! She was communicative, understanding and flexible. In addition to that, our Furbo clocked her as our Marty’s new favorite person. We will absolutely be using her services again!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
