About: Hi! My name is Callahan. I’m a recent graduate from Eastern Michigan University. I come from a family of animal lovers with cats, a dog, and even bunnies. I have my own cat baby who has feline asthma and other medical conditions. I am very comfortable caring for cats with medical conditions and administering pills. I also love dogs and am comfortable taking care of them. I am looking for full time employment with my public health degree right now so I am available to watch your pets anytime other than a few select dates. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I have a small apartment so I will not be able to care for pets in my home but would love to drop in or stay for services at others
“Zoe is absolutely wonderful. She watches Giovanni with enthusiasm and care. I could not have asked for a better person to watch my puppy. Giovanni absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend booking Zoe for any of your needs.”
“Kaydee lovingly took care of my handsome, blind 10 1/2 year Pit Bull. Out of all the Rover Dpg sitters, this is the 1st time I arrived home and he was peacefully sleeping. He would usually be at the door so excited to see me. However with him sleeping, it showed how calm and relax he was with her. I am so grateful I found her and I am planning to use her services more.”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adult hood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding about all different types of dogs. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and my current position as a vet tech assistant. I work part time as well as being a student so my availability varies week to week. However, my schedule has never interfered with any past dog sitting obligations. I can provide safe and loving visits during the day for playtime, a walk or just coming to hangout with your fur baby. I will make sure your pet stays happy and healthy whenever i'm around!
About: Ever since I was a teenager, family, friends, and neighbors have relied on my to pet-sit and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. Similar to my approach with cats, I introduce myself with confidence, caution, and respect while paying attention to the dog's body language. I've had the pleasure of meeting many dogs ranging from energetic ones that pull hard when walking, to low-energy dogs that either want light play or may have chronic pain. Whatever the case is, I'm quick to learn how to befriend them! I'm a recent graduate with a Computer Science degree, looking for full-time software work. The job search has been very slow to yield results, so I have very open availability while I search. As long as I'm not already booked on a given day, I'm open on any day of the week and at any time (including evenings). Unfortunately due to the pickiness of my two cats, Charlie and Pim, I'm unable to have any pets brought to my home. Regarding caring for pets at a client's home, I'm open to visits lasting many hours, or making multiple visits in a day. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs, and can care for other mammals (I have minimal experience with reptiles and birds). As long as I have detailed notes on your pet's routine and special care instructions, I'll work diligently to ensure their daily routine sees minimal disruption while you're gone!
“Anna did an amazing job sitting our 2 dogs! She was timely to respond, kept our home clean, and took excellent care of our pups. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Lily was amazing! She sent messages and photos throughout the day letting me know how Noah was doing. I did not worry at all while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone that is need of a great dog sitter. I will be using her again in the future.”
“Mary stayed with Zeus while I was on vacation and did a wonderful job. She sent regular updates and kept him content at home. She gave all of his medicine as requested. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since i got my dog 3 years ago i have started to take a liking to training and taking care of older and younger animals. I try to train dogs with what their owners want them to learn and with what i think will be best for them to succeed. I also try to give senior animals the time or their lives and for them to enjoy themselves I am currently a Lead summer camp teacher! I have been a teacher for the last couple of years. I normally get out of work at a reasonable time where I would do walking or check ins. I could check in and walk your dogs so when you get home you can have a nice relaxing evening after a long day of work! I have a fenced in yard back at my house where my adorable pup loves to run around and many toys for my dogs and cats to play with as well.
About: As far back as I can remember I have always had a fondness for dogs. This love and obsession has pushed me to pursue a career in the canine world, and now I currently manage a dog daycare/hotel franchise as my day job. But even when I’m not there, I am always with a dog. Whether it is my own, a friends, or a family member, I keep the best and the furriest of company! I am familiar with many types of breeds and personally prefer the big and fluffy, or even the more intimidating looking pups. But big or small I love them all and I believe earning a dogs trust is more valuable than gold! I do work full time during the week but I am available anytime after 2:00 Monday through Friday. I have open availability on the weekends If your dog has a set routine I can accommodate their needs however necessary. I also have my own pup that I can bring along to give yours a friend!

Aimen A.
“I am Aimen’s mom. From a very young age, Aimen has had a genuine love and respect for animals. Whether it’s a tiny insect or a pet dog or cat, Aimen approaches every animal with patience, gentleness, and an understanding of their needs. Aimen has rescued many animals and found them loving homes, including his brother’s cat, Socks. Aimen is one of the most responsible people I know. When he commits to caring for an animal, whether it’s his own pet or a family member or friend’s pet, he follows through with consistency and diligence. He goes above and beyond to make sure they are well-fed, exercised, and comforted. Aimen has two cats of his own, Pim and Charlie. He takes the role of ‘cat dad’ very seriously providing them with the best care and many forms of exercise and enrichment. His respect not only extends to animals but to the people he interacts with. Aimen treats everyone with kindness and consideration, making him an absolute pleasure to work with and trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Aimen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful person to look after their pets. He is truly exceptional in character and compassion.”

His love for dogs truly shows when he's caregiving. He is so gentle with the dogs he's around. He really goes the extra mile to provide a friendly, safe environment for the owner and pet. I recommend Dominic to anyone looking to provide their fur babies with the best attention and kindness while they're away from them!”
