“Lyle has been a major asset in my care for River! I just brought River home the Friday before last as an 8 week old pup, and after a meet and greet over the weekend, Lyle was ready to take care of River that Monday. Whether it be his last minute help while I work or the informative Rover cards with pictures to keep you in the know of how your pup is doing, he has been a blessing to me. If that wasn’t enough, he has been using his training and behavior knowledge to go above and beyond with River. I am new to the puppy world and am so so so grateful for his help and the things he has explain to me while I learn alongside River. You will not go wrong with picking Lyle to care for your furry family member! I have observed that it It’s not just a job for him and you can see his heart and care for animals.”
“Amy is an amazing pet sitter!! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog and cat in her care. She gave updates and photos with each visit, and even got our mail and took out our trash. We will definitely book her services again!”
“I am so pleased with Linda and the care she gave my cat. She spent plenty of time with me, communicated with me daily and expressed how’s she liked my pet. I would highly recommend and would hire Linda again.”

About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.
“We've loved working with Makaila over the past few months and multiple trips. She's been wonderfully professional, friendly, and very comfortable and knowledgeable about cat behavior. I was always very comfortable leaving my cat in her care, and would continue to work with her if she wasn't moving away! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Kelena was great. Proactive communication, went above and beyond when one of my pups was sick, and she really wants to get it right. Plus my dogs liked her immediately which is a great sign! Highly recommend.”

“Grace did such an amazing job with our dog and two cats! She was always so timely in her drop ins, and kept us very informed on how everyone was doing. We really appreciate that she was able to sit for us fairly last minute as well. She made our pets feel loved and safe and we couldn't have asked for more!”
“Theresa is such a pleasure to work with; she stepped in at the last minute to care for an elderly cat and did so as though it were her own. Professional, resourceful and responsive — highly recommend!”

About: I love to make sure the dog is entertained and taken care of. Happy to walk, feed, play and administer medication if necessary. That’s the least I could do for you! I work full time but love to hang with pets in my free time! Happy to assist on week nights or weekends. Willing to travel a little bit as well. I care for pets as if they are my own. Give them their own food, bed and safety - whether it be free roaming or in a crate. Whatever makes them feel safe and loved.
“Our experience with Laura H. was our first with Rover. She came to our house prior to needing her services to meet us and our dogs. She was wonderful! Kept us updated each day with photos. We will certainly request her again.”
About: I’ve been around pets since a young age and I enjoy caring for them. Animals naturally gravitate toward me because I’ve always had a calm and confident approach, which has helped me manage and connect with pets, even if they are challenging pets to handle. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I'm available every day of the week. we'll just need to schedule times that works well for both of us. I am comfortable caring for pets in their homes and always follow the pet owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention according to my instructions.

I am a very anxious pet-parent and Corrine is so responsible, I am grateful to her to be able to have peace of mind when on a work trip or a vacation. Corrine has stayed at our home to pet sit for extended periods of time as well and she is a very clean and respectful house guest. Corrine is also great at checking in with us as well - at least once a day she'll text a picture of the dogs or a video of them playing together.”

He takes amazing care of his two pets every day, making sure his dog and cat are both getting what they need not just for basic needs, but also for their emotional and adventure needs. Animals are drawn to his calm, caring nature, so he is always quick to make new furry friends wherever he goes! Add in his patience when they are misbehaving or need a little more time to warm up and his sense of responsibility, ensuring he'll be on time for visits and do a top-notch job caring for your pet, you couldn't ask for a better sitter!”

Danielle & Anthony G.
“Danielle watches our lab Cooper whenever we are in the Detroit area. He has such a blast with their dogs and is always so excited to visit! They have a fenced in yard and Cooper LOVES to be outside so this is so perfect for him. When we go on vacation and Danielle watches him, Cooper goes on his own vacation too staying with them (he arguably has more fun than we do)!!! Great pet caregiver, would highly recommend”

Makaila is a great sitter! So kind and super communicative. I appreciate the info she shares about my puppy and the help she gives by letting me know some body language he has, etc. I’m a first time puppy mom so all info is helpful to me. I’m thankful for Makaila.
Amy did a wonderful job caring for my two young cats. She was very thorough in her care and providing updates in her visit cards which was very appreciated. She ensured my cats were well fed, had fresh water and played with their favorite toys. I would definitely recommend Amy!
Chris did great with the dogs! He showed up as promised, fed, watered, and let out our dogs (one large one small). The dogs loved him! We highly recommend Christopher.

So grateful you were able to look after our pup. Thank you for your patience and care and for keeping me updated throughout our visit away.
Abby is Awesome! This was my first time having Abby walk Stella and I will definitely be booking her again. She replied to her availability request within 5 minutes. She also offered to do a meet and greet with Stella and took the time to listen to Stella’s needs that day. She arrived on time and sent photos to let me know that things went well. You can truly count on Abby! I will be calling soon. Thank You!
