“Mary Kay was attentive to all my pets’ needs and was very sweet with them. She followed my drop in instructions perfectly and was very punctual. I appreciate her interest in treating them and giving them additional care beyond Cholula’s basic need of a potty break. We are so fortunate to have her services weekly moving forward.”

“Lukis was very kind and efficient with getting back to me. My situation was different I was in a state of urgency bc my pets were not being cared for properly while I was gone and booked her the night before and she came to help my babies I’m so appreciative and will be booking with them from now on.”
“Amanda was great with my black lab! She visited my home when I was at work to let my dog out. Amanda provided my dog with lots of play time, a walk, and sent plenty of pictures. Would highly recommend her services! 🐕🦺🐾”


About: I worked at Premier Pet Supply for a year and a half, and LOVE dogs!! I am also very active and am used to walking my 50lb pitbull who knows how to pull😂 I am currently a full-time student who works a part-time job! I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!
About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.
“Nicole is the best! Knowing she is going to drop in on Louis always gives me peace of mind when I’m out. I feel so lucky that she even spends extra time with my pup!”


About: Grew up with pets but can’t have my own right now. I’m looking to help others and get to have be around pets part time! I am self employed with flexible hours every day of the week. I go on daily walks so having a dog by my side would make them even better! I’m kind and gentle and pets gravitate towards me. I’m great at problem solving and always love to send photo updates of your fur babies.
“Chelsea is so awesome! My mom needed someone to check on her sweet and affectionate cat, Romeo, while she was out visiting me. She took such wonderful care of him. We were able to really enjoy our time together without worrying, because we knew he was in good and capable hands. Thanks Chelsea!! ♥️”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. I’ve had two dogs one of which sadly passed of old age and one who is currently a senior. My current dog and I are attached to the hip and I’m well informed on the love, attention, and care it takes to provide for a furry friend. Dogs are special animals that become part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. I’m happy to provide an excellent service or any other additional care your pet may need. Pet care fits pretty well into my schedule. I’m a currently an online student so my schedule is flexible as I am available Monday through Friday. I have a fenced yard with lots of space. I have another senior dog who usually spends most of his day sleeping but is very friendly himself so your dog would have some company if you don’t mind.

About: I’ve lived in Atlanta for about 20 years and one of my favorite things about this city is the animal life; both wild and domesticated. I have recently relocates to Detroit! My friend call me “The Dog Whisperer” because everywhere I go puppers can’t get enough of me! My summertime availability is 100% flexible. I’ve taken care of all types of dogs old and young, big and small. I’m no stranger to giving medication or dealing with rambunctious dogs who need a little extra time outside. I believe that all animals deserve love and care and that all owners deserve a break. These puppies are like our children and sometimes kids have to be sent to Autie’s House. Let me be your puppy aunt. The pleasure is all mine. I take classes online and bartend part time. My schedule is very flexible. I am home during the day to play and cuddle with the animals. I leave for work in between 2-4 and return between 8-10. If I am returning at 10 I will feed the dogs before I leave and give them a little treat/snack when I return. I care for the pets based upon your personal standards and their routine. I currently do not offer boarding because of my own skittish pet.
About: I am excited to watch your fur friend. I have 2 Chihuahuas named Kahlo and Biscotti. They bark, but are sweet and love to play with other dogs. I work full time from home, so your pet will get loads of attention. I go for walks 2 to 3 times a day. I also have a gated area in my yard for small to medium dogs to roam freely. I have cared for many pets before. As a kid, I had everything from dogs, to chinchillas, turtles, and fish. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Just let me know the specifics of your routine, and I will honor it with your pup. I like to get up and move arround at the bottom of each hour so honoring your specific regimen will be no problem. I work from home during the week. I am very dependable. I have cleaned houses for extra cash for 7 years and have been trusted in many homes. My pups get plenty of attention, play time, timely meals, and so will yours!
“So crazy amazing! Carli far exceeded our expectations. She took care of all three of our pups individually to cater to each ones needs. From Our happy pup to our anxious pup, she treated each one with love and care. Can’t wait to have her with us again.”

Russell Woods pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erik is so great with my cat. He takes great care of her and goes above and beyond to look out for my entire household. My dog has been gone the last couple of drop ins, but I look forward to Erik taking care of her too. He is clearly a natural animal lover and will care for your pet as if it’s his own.
