“Christopher was amazing and Ducky adored him (Ducky cried every time he left). Punctual and professional! A kind person that’s a natural with animals. I’m recommending him to everyone in my neighborhood. I’ll definitely use him again for dog walking or house sitting.”
“Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!”
“Amy came today and helped me out tremendously! I stayed home sick and did not have the strength to walk my dog. We made a pick up adjustment and Amy still came and walked my pup. I'm so grateful!”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and have always been a true dog lover. Since I was in high school, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and boarding in my own home. Little did I know, I was slowly building a small clientele of furry friends, many of whom I still care for to this day! I have preferences listed, but I’m flexible! If your situation doesn’t quite match them but you like my profile, feel free to send a request anyway. I have limited experience caring for cats and am allergic, so I don’t accept cat-only bookings. However, I’m happy to care for cats while house sitting for your dog, as my allergy isn’t severe enough to keep me from doing so. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (so far). I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no pets of my own at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I normally send daily pictures and updates to pet owners so they can see how their pup is doing while they’re away! I treat every dog like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.
About: I have had pets of all types for my whole life. Currently, I have 6 cats, and my beloved French bulldog passed away earlier this year. I love dogs and truly think they are magnificent and pure beings, who deserve our love, time and patience. I am more than happy to come walk, play, snuggle, or feed your four legged friends and look forward to meeting you! I am currently only working part time, so I have quite a bit of free time during my week to come visit with your pets. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and keep their routine as close to the usual as possible. I am happy to follow any directions or special requests!
“Tanu was AMAZING! She was so caring about Sunny’s needs. She communicated with me throughout the many walks we scheduled giving great updates and photos. I felt like sunny was very well taken care of and we can’t wait for her watch sunny again!”
About: I have 5+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs! My experience includes caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, as well as working professionally with a pet-sitting company. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand that they may need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. Whether that means taking a slower walk, enjoying some fresh air in a stroller, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I will always love and care for your dog like my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Along with pet sitting, I also babysit part-time, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. As a dog mom myself, I'm already used to planning my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I always make sure I have the time and availability to give every pet the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they're in loving hands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they feel like part of the family. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of fresh air, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Dogs are always kept on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a dog of my own, Theo, who can stay with my family during stays if needed. When caring for pet in their own homes, I always respect their space and do my best to maintain their usual routines. Whether that's following specific feeding instructions, taking their favorite walking route, or simply give them a little extra reassurance, I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I also love sending pictures and updates throughout our time together! I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and being well care for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and kindness I would want for my own!
About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

I helped manage the health needs of both my senior dog and cat when they got older. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their furry friends! I recently moved back to Michigan, and I’m taking some time off from my typical job as a social worker. During this time, I am at home full-time and available during the weekdays and on weekends to help care for your pets. I will be sure to keep them safe and to follow the owner’s instructions as carefully as possible. I will be attentive to the pet’s needs and will be sure to leave the space clean. I am also not afraid to ask for help, so I will reach out to the owner if I’m unsure of anything!
About: I had three rescue dogs of my own, two have since passed but we have taken my MILs dog since her passing so we have two dogs currently and three cats! I love animals and have been caring for them since I was a child growing up and always having a pet to care for made me very dependable and well mannered when it comes to training. I am experienced with animal rehabilitation and am comfortable with all animals but do have two young children in the home. Dogs that stay with us will have a designated heated and cooled space to sleep in. I am home all day during the day, am able to let animals out at any time as I have a large fenced in yard. We have cameras and a covered deck as well for complete safety and security for the animals. I am available for stop in visits, walking or general care.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
