About: I’ve loved and raised dogs and cats my entire life, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, energy levels, and unique routines. Today, I care for regular repeat clients who trust me with their pets’ everyday needs from high energy neighborhood walks and feeding schedules to mid day drop ins and occasional in home care. I treat every single pet with the exact same care, safety, and respect as my own. I also am experienced In a variety of animal medicine due to caring for family pets that got sick.

About: I’ve been in the pet industry for 5 years! I started at a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility starting as regular employee and worked my way all the way up to management! I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! I currently work nights, I’m available all morning to mid afternoon. My night job has a very flexible schedule so I can make exceptions every once in a while! I am very active, so long walks and play sessions are no issue for me! I can match your pets energy for the entirety of my visit with them to get all that extra energy out!
About: When I was about 12 years old I made my cat a comfortable space to have her babies and every since then I became obsessed with nurturing and taking care of all animals. I have a great time with dogs and I take care of my mother’s dog when she’s not home. Pet care is be a great necessity for my daily routine, mostly because it makes me happy to take care of others and because it will give me the opportunity to be active more. Also, it gives me an advantage of taking care of my own dog/pet. Providing Top-notch pet care is a goal that I strive to achieve everyday. Doing my best while also catering to the animal and needs from owner.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly reliable and on time every single day. We looked forward to her Rover reports and the pictures she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her!”
“Kelli was our hero when we realized none of our family or friends lived close enough to take care of our two cats while we went on a two week cruise, since one of our cats now needs oral medication daily. Our boys loved Kelli to the point they kept waiting at the door for her to come back even after we returned home. 🤣 Even though we told her we wouldn’t have access to Wi-Fi or service, she left us detailed nightly reports that brought us peace of mind when we returned to the country. She did an amazing job getting our cat to take his meds and we could see from the reports and after our return they loved her visits. I would recommend Kelli to any of my friends or family and would use her services again in a heartbeat.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m caring, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with The pets. I make them feel safe. I am currently a stay at home. I have all the time in the world to just care for them. Walk them play with them feed them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow their normal routines, including walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and lots of cuddles. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!”
About: I’ve owned and loved dogs my entire life. I’ve also been dog sitting for multiple different kinds of dogs for the last 10 years. I am experienced with puppies as well as caring for senior dogs with special needs. I currently work full time but I have plenty of time after work (5:30-9pm) and on weekends to stop by to see your pet or walk your dog. I make sure all doors/gates are closed so no one can decide to make a run for it. I also make sure dogs are crated when I leave if that is something they need.
About: Growing up in a ranch in Arizona with five dogs (including two great Danes and one Doberman) and eight horses I started caring for animals at a young age. Oral medication or injections are ok, diabetic dogs okay too. I've personally rescued two dogs in Detroit and still have one, Harper, a Staffordshire mix. I love all breeds and do not discriminate. Have a hyper dog? I'll run your buddy all over town along side my bike. Your best friend will get all the same love and care that you give them. Overnight stays will be full of fun and lots of walks. Daytime visits will always be nice long walks with visits to local parks and shopping areas for maximum socialization and puppy excitement.
About: I’ve watched my friends and families pets for since I was 15. I’ve also had animals all my life. That includes giving them baths, feeding them, walking, taking them to a dog park, anything and everything. I’m very determined to take care of such lovely animals and to keep them safe. I’m currently working part time, I’ll be going to school soon but I’m staying local so I’m still available. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m willing to work around anything. I’ve got a fenced yard, two dogs and two cats. We keep them separated mainly for the dogs sake. They are still in training but will do nobody any harm.
About: I’ve been a foster family for numerous dogs over the years. I’ve worked with numerous breeds and have been boarding for numerous consistent clients for over a decade. Animals are my deepest passion. Additionally, I have been rescuing domestic ducks for the past few years. Your pet will be loved as if they’re my own. I’ve worked with blind and deaf animals, dogs who pull on a leash, dogs who cannot be around other animals, and more! I currently work part time as a caregiver for special needs adults and children. If I am not home, I am not gone longer than 4 hours. I am in a masters degree program that is fully online so the rest of my week I am at home. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’ve been working with animals all my life and always have an animal in the house. I have boarded and fostered for over 15 years and love to meet new animals and see reoccurring clients. I have a fenced in yard and offer lots of playtime and cuddles. Animals are allowed on the furniture but if you do not prefer that then I absolutely understand. I am more than welcome to crate your pet or not, the choice is yours! I have worked with many animals with behavior concerns and special needs. There is no animal that is too challenging.
About: Ive always loved all animals, and have had experience all through my life with them as I've had cats and dogs my whole life, I currently have 2 dogs at home, and they are crazy! I do now have and specific or special training with pets, I do know how to take care of and handle daily tasks for cats/dogs. I am looking to take care of pets full time for now, and want to continue taking care of them into the future, I'm available most days out of the week every week. With my dogs at home I walk them, pick up the poop and throw it away, I feed them, they get 2 different foods, Jasper is a puppy and needs a slow feeder, buddy is 2 years and gets fed out of a normal bowl, they get fed twice daily once in the morning and once at night. They love to play fetch and tug of war, but also like their cuddle time.
About: I think that animals have personalities, feelings, and emotions just like humans do. So when I take care of a furry friend, it's like I'm taking care of a baby. They need a lot of attention and require a lot of care. I like to get to know your fur baby and build a bond with them. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve-racking but I want you to know that when you leave your dog in my care, that they will be treated with respect and given the best care that I can provide. I am always available and willing to put in the effort it takes. This would help supplement my income and give me the opportunity to spend more time with fur babies of all kinds! I enjoy the company of fur babies, it is very therapeutic. I have plenty of space for fur babies to be comfortable. I love to take my baby on walks and have plenty of play time as well.
“The first person that we scheduled drop ins for our pups flaked twice on us while we were out of town… However, Jessica was able to help us out at the last minute and take care of our fur babies. She even sent us a picture!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets for over 10 years and I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, which included duties such as socializing with and feeding the dogs and cats, as well as walking and bathing dogs! I am a student with a flexible schedule and availability for any needs for you and your pet(s)! I am available on weekends as well! I am unable to care for your pets in my home, but I am very adaptable and can work with whatever you need from me to ensure your pet gets the care it needs.
About: I've had dogs in the house ever since I was a baby! I recently lost my 12 1/2 year old German Shepherd who I've had since he was 8 weeks old. My 3yr old golden shepherd is lonely without him and would love to have other doggy company and so would my 2 kids as well (as long as you pup(s) are used to being around kids and other dogs.) I grew up always having a dog (or 2) in the household so I am very familiar with the care they require. My dogs have free range of the house and sleep on the couch and bed too. Dogs are family and are treated like it too! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home 95% of the time aside from running a quick errand or doing school drop-off/pick up (which is right in the sub I live in.) My fiancé and I have 2 boys ages 5 and 1 1/2 and they have a love for dogs too. I have a fenced yard and a 3 1/2-year-old female golden shepherd (spayed) who misses having another dog around. I am more than happy to crate your dog if it is needed but they can also have free range of the house too. My dog is allowed on our couch and bed and she uses it to her full advantage! I would love to help care for your dog when you are unable to and treat them like family.
“Jamie spoils our puppy rotten when she is with him. She takes him for runs, makes sure he gets water, and plays with him and his favorite toys. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

We booked Bridget for a couple drop in visits for my two German Shepherds, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. She was great to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible when I needed to reschedule my dates/times. For both visits, she sent lots of photos and it was clear that both of my dogs love her.
Danielle was a godsend to us. This was first experience having in home dog care for our boys while out of the country. She was very kind and communicated well daily with notes and pictures showing us the boys daily. Our boys Mick and Max loved her and made my heart happy knowing they were taken care of so well. Can’t thank her enough, we will book with her again when needed
Lucie was amazing and helped me out massively when I got stuck out of town last minute due to an unexpected family emergency. She stepped right in and took phenomenal care of my girl. She communicated seamlessly and provided amazing updates and photos that ensured I knew Rue was in the best possible hands. Every photo and update was prompt and detailed which completely eased my stress about leaving my pup for so long and showed how happy and comfortable Rue was with Lucie. I’m so incredibly grateful for Lucie and highly recommend hiring her to care for your pup! With Lucie, you can rest assured she will take the absolute best care of your pets!
Hannah does an awesome job visiting my high maintenance Doberman puppy. I always book last minute. She is very reliable, ethical, and has been a lifesaver for our family a number of times. I have full trust in her taking care of my dog and highly recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Clair Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
