“I mean just AMAZING!! Rachel and her husband have this dog thing down pact and really have gained a life client. I was very very nervous at 1st about using this rover app and leaving my baby in the hands of strangers outside of an institution, but Rachel really eased so much of my anxiety. She is very kind and sweet, organized and specific about the needs of your pet. I could tell my little baby Nova had a great time... I really enjoyed the updates and the checking in especially with video so that everything could be confirmed... Nova came home a happy baby. She and her husband took the time to get to know myself and Nova 1st so that they could really make sure Nova was being taken care of with the same love that she gets a home.... I loved that Rachel had a curriculum for Nova throughout the day and not just constant play ALLLL DAY with no structure so that she can improve and stay mentally stimulated and not just worn out.... Thank you Rachel & Jeff if your in the area THEY ARE DEFINITELY THE GO TO PET HAVEN!!!”


About: - Updated 3/12/25 - Starting 4/7/25, offering pick-up of pets since moving from Royal Oak. We will be moving to Detroit on 4/3/25. 2 & 1/2 miles west from I-75 on Mcnichols. Safe area, locked gate, full privacy fence. I have taken care of my own dogs for the last 4 years. I am comfortable giving meds if your pet needs them as I've dealt with some health issues with my own pets. Happy to give all the love and snuggles to your furry babies while you are away. I am currently off work for now so I have lots of time to hang out with your pets and make sure they get all the love and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard at home, so if your pets come to hang out with us here, they will be safe in our back yard. We have a four year old staffy-lab mix (Charlie) who is dog-friendly but we would definitely want to introduce them ahead of time. The only other person at the home is my wife, Angel.

“My Coco is very happy to visit Kristin & has received wonderful care. Kristen is very accommodating when I occasionally have to change my schedule & I do appreciate that.”


About: My husband and I work from home and have very flexible schedules that allow us to be present with our pets during the day. There are no kids in the home during the day during the week. Typical day include walks around the neighborhood or nearby park, lounging or playing in the backyard or the dog park. Plenty of toys for chewers and plenty of space in our fenced yard to roam and play. I currently work from home as a technology sales rep. When I am not working, I’m entertaining both my toddler and pets. I often have a decent amount of free time and dog sitting has been a great outlet for my dog to socialize and get some fun in! For repeat pets, I have noticed a big difference after a few days of adjusting. Its important for pets to feel safe in whatever space they are in.

“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”


About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

“Taj is always such an amazing host. Naya loves to be at her house and with Abu! Whenever possible I use Taj for any dog sitting needs I have. So glad I found her!”


“Ivy had such a fun time at doggy day care! She loved playing with Sydney’s pups and was a happy girl when we picked her up. :) looking forward to rebooking!”


“Karley was wonderful with my puppy Oliver. We had just adopted him a week before and needed someone to watch him for a day. I was really nervous about it because he’s still a puppy and we’ve never had to leave a puppy with someone else before. But Karley was so kind and kept me posted the whole time. When we came to pick Ollie up, he seemed to have had a very comfortable stay and felt safe with her. I 100% recommend reaching out to Karley if you’re in the Detroit area and need someone to watch your furbaby for you.”


“Lizabeth was wonderful! She was very responsive with communication around booking & care instructions, and she went above & beyond sending updates and photos throughout the day! She made me feel confident that I left my little Hugo in good hands!”


“I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs. She took excellent care of our pup, and we’ll definitely book again. Thanks Kelly!”


“Many thanks to Olivia for watching our pup with separation anxiety while we had a night out with friends! Loved seeing the pics of Kobe on a walk and getting belly rubs.”
