About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.
About: I've taken care of pets all my life; from dogs, cats, birds, to exotics like sugar gliders and snakes. I've always enjoyed the different personalities of pets, and caring for them makes for a pawsitively happy day. I am currently a stay at home mother of four. Since they are getting older, I've flexibility in my schedule to share and care for pets. We believe in boundaries, rules and routines. If your pet is accustomed to a specific routine, then ensuring that's achieved, and your pets needs are met, is our goal. We use fencing, crates, and harnesses as appropriate.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I personally have 5 animals, 2 cats and 3 dogs. One of my dogs has severe anxiety, I know his triggers and what to do to get him comfortable I work full time, Monday-Friday 8-5. But I am willing to do anything after work. I play softball at night but I am always home after, so no one sleeps alone or in their kennels. I personally have a fenced in yard. If I am at someone’s house with a fenced in yard, I will walk outside with them first so I know the yard. I will always pick up after the dogs on walks or even on a daily basis.
About: I have several years of experience of all types of animals whether it be a reptile, fish, and any furry pet! Depending on medication meds I can also provide care when needed. Im currently a medical assistant on her way to becoming a RT. Prior to this I worked part-time at Lou’s Pet Shop where I’d been for almost 5 years and am a current student at MCC. I am very flexible with my schedule especially during the summer so feel free to reach out! I have experience in pet sitting for many years now depending on check ins, staying at the house, walks, etc. Whatever the animal may need we can discuss in detail what is needed!
About: I have fostered dogs & have rescued dogs all my life. I have a soft spot for bully breeds & mutts but I adore every dog I meet & enjoy getting to learn their own personalities. I will always treat your fur baby like my own! I am a nurse so although my my schedule varies, I update it constantly. My hours are flexible & I am always sure to get my steps in, so why not make it more fun by adding a dog in my daily walking routine. For home care I have a fully fenced yard & 1 friendly & active dog. She enjoys playing, but is also content minding her own business. My home is just as much mine as it is my dog’s. When visiting yours & your dog’s home I’ll be respectful to your requests and follow which ever service is needed with love.
About: Hi, I am Paige. I have been a Veterinary Technician for 6 years now. My goal all my life was to take care of animals. Animals bring so much joy into our daily lives and I want to make sure that when you are away your animal will still feel loved and never lonely. I am familiar with any type of medical problems your animal might have, so medicating is okay. I have four dogs, a bunny and a cat. There's never a dull moment in my house. I love going on walks with my animals and cuddling under the blankets watching Netflix! Im just one call/text away! Here's to hoping I make many new best friends <3 I can't wait to meet all of the snuggly faces out there!

About: My husband and I work as a team. He is known around the neighborhood for walking our dog, our neighbor's dog and our grandpuppies when they are over. Between the two of us, there is a human home 80 - 90 per cent of the time. Although we don't have children living with us, we have a 4 year old granddaughter, who loves to play with dogs, come over twice a week. Our house will never make the cover of "Good Housekeeping" but it is safe and "pet friendly." All of the dogs we have ever owned were rescue dogs, including our Boxer Popeye. We've both had dogs all of our lives. We'll treat your dog with all the love and care we give our own. Pet care IS our daily routine. We're both retired so someone is home with the pups almost every minute. Roger walks each pet daily as weather permits. We have a fenced yard and pups get to go out and come in as often as they like. They sleep indoors wherever they want. They are allowed on furniture and our bed.
About: I have fenced in backyard with room to run around. I'm a very loving person towards animals, they have a certain way of always making you feel special. I grew up with a golden retriever and she was the sweetest. I've had fish as well and care about them like I would a dog or cat. I now have my own puppers. She is a 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer who loves meeting new dogs! I have been dog sitting for many years for family and friends. I used to stay at the owner's houses but now since I have my own dog I ask that the dogs come to my house. I am home most of the day. I love playing outside, going for walks and cuddling up with the pups. I love to meet new dogs and love learning about their breed and their personalities, they're all so different! Leaving your pets with me will guarantee them a fun safe time! I currently work full-time at home so I'm able to be with the dogs if they come to my home. If dog walking is what you need, I have an hour long lunch each day and can come after 4pm as well. I have a large fenced-in yard and a young dog to keep your pup occupied. I have extra kennels at my house if needed, as well as a gate in my hallway if for any reason I would need it. I have many dog toys and treats to keep your dog happy as well. Daily walks are a must, weather permitted.

About: I specialize in small and senior dogs who need a calm, safe, low-stress environment — perfect for pups who don’t do well in busy boarding situations. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, including being a dedicated dog owner and a long-time foster for small dogs. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience welcoming new dogs into my home and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and secure. My dogs are well-socialized and are very used to foster dogs coming in and out, so I’m experienced with safe introductions, reading dog behavior, and maintaining a calm, balanced environment. I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to ensure each one feels supported and at ease. I specialize in small dogs and senior dogs, providing a quieter, lower-stress setting that many dogs thrive in. Because I regularly care for multiple dogs, I’m very aware of group dynamics and boundaries. I closely monitor interactions, prevent issues before they start, and can separate dogs if needed to maintain a peaceful home. I treat every dog like part of the family — with patience, attention, and love — while also maintaining structure and routine so they feel comfortable during their stay. My home is best suited for small, dog-friendly dogs who will thrive in a calm, structured environment. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. My day is structured around the dogs in my care, including regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, and plenty of time for rest and relaxation. I maintain a calm, predictable environment so dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. I’m able to give frequent check-ins, monitor interactions closely, and ensure each dog gets the individual attention they need while also maintaining a peaceful group dynamic. Because I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, I’m able to be very present and attentive, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured home environment and take a thoughtful, experienced approach to caring for every dog. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs feel safe and comfortable. Because I have experience fostering dogs, I’m very familiar with reading behavior, recognizing stress signals, and preventing issues before they arise. I only accept small, dog-friendly dogs (typically under 25 lbs) and limit care to 1–2 guest dogs at a time, which allows me to closely supervise and maintain a peaceful environment. Dogs are never left unattended in situations where safety could be a concern. I monitor group dynamics, separate dogs when needed, and ensure each dog has their own space to relax. I require that all dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention to help keep everyone healthy. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, ensure pets are secure before leaving, and provide updates so you know your pet has been cared for properly. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously.
“Martina did an amazing job with Freya! She was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with trusting her to care for Freya since this was my first time using rover. Thank you Martina!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I’ve owned five dogs, ranging from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have also had three kitties as well! My experience with different life stages of both cats and dogs means I understand their unique needs and how to provide the love and care they deserve. I have also worked in a doggie daycare/boarding facility in the past that cared for dogs, cats, and exotics! This means I have even more confidence and experience with all animals! Despite my busy schedule with work and school, pet care remains a priority. While my parents handle most of the care for our dogs, I step in to watch them when they’re away, ensuring their safety by closing off areas of the house if I need to leave. I also manage feeding and letting them outside when everyone else is at work. Additionally, I own three crested geckos, to which I am dedicated, feeding them and misting their tanks with water twice a day. I also own two cats and clean their litter boxes and feed them once a day. This routine fits well with my other responsibilities, allowing me to provide consistent care for all our pets. I am committed to following the specific instructions provided by dog owners for their pets' care. Whether it involves feeding schedules, or any special needs, I will adhere to these guidelines to ensure their comfort and well-being. If crating is required for their safety or comfort, I will implement it as directed, ensuring a secure and positive environment for the dog while following the owner's preferences.
“Chynna was great for my pups, cleaning up their surprise messes for me and all! Timely, communicative, and my dogs look like they gave good cuddles. Would love to have Chynna back!”


“Danielle was super helpful for walking our dog mid afternoon!! She was understanding of our needs and had a great personality! Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Danielle!”

“This was our first time using Meagan for our 2 cats. She did a great job communicating with us and even with requests to help with packages/mail while we were away. She also was super awesome and took the cat trash out for us before we came home! We finally found someone in our area to help out when we are out of town! Thank you!”

About: I've taken care of my personal pets for 50 years or more, a rabbit, a turtle a guinea pig and lots of dogs and cats. I just recently lost my little Toby due to congestive heart failure in March so I have decided to love and adore other people's fur babies. I'm currently retired and have lots of time on hand to devote to new animals. I live in a safe and friendly environment which allows animals to feel safe and secure. I have a fenced in backyard for them to roam and play freely or a home that's pet friendly. I have time to devote to all pets needs.
About: I have experience working at VCA’s across the US. I can handle any type of pet in any type of situation. I will love and care for your pet as though they are my own! I am currently in nursing school full time at Wayne State, I am looking for other ways to be of service in my own life. I have a large fenced in yard your pet would be very comfortable roaming. I am familiar with various harnesses and collars and how to use them correctly for walks.

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!

Erin was amazing with Otis - especially for our first time using a dog sitter while on vacation. She checked on him three times a day for five days, played fetch, refreshed his food and water and made sure he got his daily meds. Her comprehensive update on every visit - complete with photos - gave us total peace of mind, especially with the Arctic storm hitting Michigan while we were gone. Knowing he was safe, calm and well cared for made all the difference. She even offered to pick up extra visits if our flights were canceled. Thankfully we didn’t need it, but the gesture meant a lot. We’ll absolutely book Erin again. The comfort of knowing Otis was happy and anxiety free was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Nicole has watched my little old, special needs dog in the past before he passed away and took such good care of him. She has now taken care of my new large dog and did amazing as well. Whether it is a small dog, a large dog, a dog with special needs - Nicole can handle any pet! It is clear she is compassionate about animals and the peace of mind I feel about leaving mine with her is priceless. What a blessing it is to be able to have someone so reliable and kind to leave my fur babies with when I am gone!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
