He was incredibly responsive, professional, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. His communication gave me so much peace of mind, and my pets were clearly in great hands. I’m beyond grateful for his help and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend!”

About: I got started dog-sitting as a teenager, because every family I baby-sat for had dogs as well. I've spent years walking and taking care of dogs, though I've never had one of my own. I love dogs, but through my adult life so far, I haven't lived in an apartment complex that allowed them. I am up for long walks and playtime. I also just moved to the Detroit-area from Kalamazoo, and walking dogs seems like a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.

About: I have worked with animals and have used pet care facilities before and know it is hard to find trusted dependable care. Understand life/work happens and there is always need for pet care to support them with. I am available Monday through Friday days. Evenings for Monday through Thursday. Weekends for sitting overnight. Able to come over to check on animals or feeding time. I have trained two puppies from 4weeks and on that were part of my household. I have a dog that was found in Eastern Market area and have worked with resource guarding.

About: I have been caring for family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats for 15 years. Walking, feeding, administering treats, administering medications, grooming, vet trips, playing, and all of the snuggles. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day; Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with a little weekend availability. I do apologize, but at the moment I am unavailable to care for your pets in my own home, as I have two cats of my own and no fenced-in yard.

“Brianna was great. Would not hesitate to book again. Very caring and detailed oriented.”

About: I have many friends and family members who have dogs that I have cared for, both short term and long. I am an active person, so being outside for playtime and taking long walks are some things that I quite enjoy.

About: In a fast paced environment it is easy to overlook our place in the world as animals. Being in close contact with other beings can create connectedness and a sense of place in nature. Simple tasks like dog walking may seem beneath most people, but I see it as an act graciousness and a chance to connect to other beings. As a walker or sitter my goal is to consciously occupy space with your pet. This, for me, means accommodating and changing as situations seem fit. I would also like to stay conscious of any owners wishes and feelings regarding the service I may provide and remember that it is only a service if it works to make their and their pets experience more comfortable.

Sherwood Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rhea was fantastic from start to finish! Her communication was excellent right from the beginning, and the regular updates she sent while I was away really put my mind at ease. I could tell Ace and Pearl were in great hands—and they absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Great communication and professionalism. Great with my baby boy Chase.. Very patient and kind. Would highly recommend.

julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again

Maritza was absolutely wonderful and took the BEST care of our baby boy! We got wonderful updates and photos, will definitely work with her and Daniel again!

Annie is the best with my dog! She walks her and wiped her paws and is always on time! My dog loves her!

As usual we love Audrey. She is so in tune with what a shy rescue girl needs and will go the extra mile.

Taiye remains the very soul of patience with our nervous little blind girl Penny, bearing with her quirks and keeping her and her sister hydrated and happy. She’s been such a great match that she’s now their regular caregiver. Thanks for easing the snorts’ transition to the neighborhood, Taiye!
