About: Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal, and I’m here to make that experience stress-free! While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for furry friends, including my sisters Australian Shepard for the past 8 years. I especially love playful, high-energy dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of attention! My goal is to treat each dog like my own and make each pup feels loved and cared for while their humans are away:) I currently have lots of free time and would love to fill it up. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for day of bookings if needed:) I am good at following instructions to every detail. I enjoy exploring new walking paths if the dogs are open to it, otherwise we can stick to the usual routines.

“Shelby was fantastic. She walked my dog four days in a row while I was working. My dog liked her from the moment they met and she did a great job! I will be asking her to walk my dog again soon.”

About: Hi!😊 I’m a Rochester Hills pet caregiver with 12 years of hands-on experience (off & on Rover combined!) caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities and routines. Prior to finishing my degree at Oakland University and entering the corporate world, I was a full time nanny/pet sitter so caregiving is truly in my DNA and something I truly love and am passionate about! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, attentive and big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to slower-paced senior care, feeding routines, medications and lots of companionship. I also understand that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and cuddles, while others need a little time and space to warm up. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and tailor their care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I offer dog walking, drop-ins and at your house sitting for cats & dogs, as well as 1:1 house sitting in my home for one small-medium dog (40lbs & under) with me doing both pickup and drop off. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions- I look forward to connecting with you!🙂 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day for walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I can tailor my availability around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime and companionship. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the routines and instructions you provide as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks and any household guidelines. I’m careful with doors, leashes and surroundings, and I pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite or energy. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being well cared for.

About: I have experience with potty training as well as puppy obedience training, working with previously abused dogs, shelter dogs, dogs with anxiety, senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs including Pica. I can administer medications, oral or injectable. I do mental stimulation work with the senior dogs. Also available is joint massage therapy with or without heat and red light therapy if he or she has arthritis or inflammation. I have 36 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have taken the Bark Busters dog training course in dog obedience and behavior training as well as reading many educational books on the canine and feline behavioral and physical attributes. I can care for multiple animals at once. I also care for pet ducks, rabbits, hamsters, fish & guinea pigs. Are you looking for that special person that you can trust to care for your beloved fur baby while you are at work or away from home? That's me 😃 I am loving, kind, caring, trustworthy, patient and reliable. I truly love animals and they love me. Animals can sense what kind of person you are by simply smelling you. I am all about the paw. 🐾 Let's do a free meet a greet 😃 I treat every animal with the love and care it deserves. Each animal is different so I customize my sessions to fit their specific wants and needs. Puppies and kittens are full of energy and can be destructive if they get pent up and bored. They need lots of play time. 😃 I have a large variety of toys to keep their little body active. Senior dogs need mental stimulation and to get up and move around. I have many mental enrichment puzzles to help prevent the onset of dementia and encourage movement to help their joints.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I originally downloaded this app when I didn’t have my own dog so I could still see and care for them on my off time. Until September rolled around and I now have the most sweetest little boy Remy ever. He makes me bad days good and loves every dog he’s ever met. From doberman, german shepherd, mini dachshund, other pit bulls and so many others! He loves children and just wants your full undivided attention! I want to continue spreading my love for pups I currently work full time. My schedule is during the weekends for you to be able to get away and be certain your babies are taken care of ❤️ I can also do evening check ins during the week. My dog is basically a human in my house. He sleeps with me under my blanket every night and loves to follow me around like a little shadow. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m never alone.

About: I've taken care of the family cat since I was little. Near the end of her life, I learned to give her subcutaneous fluids. When Booboo passed away, we got another cat and a dog. I helped train Ruby when she was a puppy. I can feed, walk, bathe, give medication, and train dogs and cats. I also have experience being an assistant at a veterinary clinic and taking care of patients and clinic animals. I have also been at school for becoming a vet tech for one semester. I work part-time at Meijer now! It's an overnight stocking job and I do not work the same days/times every week. Usually shifts start at 11 pm and end at 3-6 am. I sometimes do not have a car during the day, so I am not consistently available anymore for daytime help. I do not work Mondays at Meijer. Otherwise, I'm free from 8 am to midnight. Previous customers take priority for requests, as I understand many pet parents like to stick with the same sitter. I have a tie off in my yard and can take your dogs to the Orion Oaks dog park. I have a crate in my car for transportation. Ruby may be able to play with your dog if they get along with each other.

About:

About: *NOTICE* At this time, I work Thursdays through Sundays from 9 am to 4 pm. Currently better suited for cats or dogs who are used to their humans going to work during the day. Thank you! I've always loved animals, and have had dogs in the home since I was a very young child. I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and caring for dogs with physical limitations. I have been house/pet sitting for years as well, and neighbors and friends have always trusted me to take excellent care of their dogs, cats, fish, etc. I can promise you I'll love your pet like they're my own! I will be more than happy to send cute photos of your pet to you as an update! I usually work from 11-5 on Sunday-Wednesday. I have some evening activities here and there, but other than this, I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet! I understand, though, that this schedule may not be suitable for some. I will try to work with you if at all possible. I will be updating my calendar regularly to show any change in my schedule. I offer overnight house-sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I am relatively flexible and can adapt to many types of situations and care routines. I can keep dogs crated if needed, or they can sleep on the bed with me! I've dealt with picky eaters before, and have picked up a few tricks! I'll make sure your pet takes any medications, and although I do not have experience with giving shots at this time, I am more than willing to learn. Depending on the dog, time between potty breaks will vary between 1 and 4 hours during the day when I am not at work. Please feel free to make any special requests and I will honor them to the best of my ability!

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: I have cared for two dogs of my own, and have spent a ton of time with pets of friends & family. Many people in my life know they can entrust their furry baby’s well-being to me, knowing they will not only be in good hands, but in loving arms 💕🐾 Also I work fully remote so very flexible on visit times! I currently work full-time at a marketing agency. I work mostly from home (aside from the occasional office visit), but my schedule is very flexible, and I can really work from anywhere! I am very observant, cautionary, and loving with pets. I seek to understand their moods, health, and environment to best fit their needs. Any process that is used regularly, I am happy to do - whatever is purrrrfect for you and them!

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 am available for sitting, drop-ins, walks and training sessions. Please reach out so we can make your schedule work! Weekends or weekdays are always manageable. 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’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens and horses to bunnies and birds, and there has always been a dog (or two!) in the mix. I currently have two dogs of my own who are very loved and spoiled! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. No matter your pet’s age, personality, or needs, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own! I’m available on weekends and select days throughout the week, and my work-from-home schedule gives me the flexibility to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time and play safely under supervision. I also believe in slow, careful introductions when meeting new dogs to help everyone feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routines, respect their individual needs, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️

About: I have a love and passion for animals. I love all breeds and various animals. Pets make me happy! I have raised extra large, large, medium and small dogs. I have also always had cats growing up. I have lots of experience with various dogs and cats and know what signs to look for if your pet is in distress. I am an educator off for the summer so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can't wait to help your pet have a wonderful summer and ease your worries. Your pet is in good hands with me. Even after summer is over, I still plan to continue my services. I will only walk your pet on a leash if that's what is necessary. If you have a fenced in yard, I will still always monitor your pet to ensure he/she is safe. I will give your pet lots of attention with pats, hugs and kisses.

About: I grew up around dogs and trained my own dog in 4H obedience, rally, agility, and showmanship through middle and high school! I now currently work in the dog daycare/boarding industry and have 6 years of experience. I am currently working part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility and am a Junior in college at Oakland University. I am looking to walk dogs and/or do daily check-ins! When visiting your home, i would ensure the house is secure when entering and leaving, make sure food/water are available for your dog, and make sure they are safe and follow any instructions you leave to care for them!

“Thomas did a great job walking our dogs and making sure they were taken care of while we were gone for the day. We'll definitely book Thomas again in the future!”

Our dogs loved her from the start, and we really appreciated her meeting with us beforehand to get familiar with our dogs and our living space. We would absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!!”

About: In our home, we are big snugglers. Our two dogs, Benjamin and Franklin are very well trained and love being with other dogs. Our dogs are like our children and we want to treat every pet that stays with us, the same way. Our two boys love having friends to play with outside and don’t mind sharing their space. We have a three bedroom home with a large backyard. I’m a stay at home wife and my husband occasionally works from home. My availability is very flexible and accommodating. I will be here when you need me. :) *Our home has a big fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. It also has a camera in the backyard, the side door where they go potty and in the living room to monitor safety. *We are also conveniently located near Auburn Hills, Rochester and Troy. We are just a 15 minute drive from these cities. Please note: we do not accept any pets without a "Meet and Greet" session. Meet and Greet is when you come over to my house to meet all of us and see if it is a good fit. It is also an opportunity for you to see our place and get all your questions answered.
