“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”


“Monica is absolutely awesome! She is so kind and sent lots of funny updates when I was out of town to keep me in the loop. My dog was all smiles when I picked him up. He slept for like 2 days straight after getting home so they must have stayed busy & had lots of fun lol. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the future. Thanks again!”

“Of I could give Steven 100 stars I would. He did a fantastic job with my dog. I asked him could we meet before he watched her and he was now than willing. I asked because my dog doesn't care for men nor does she like other pets. When I introduced them she was snappy at first but warmed up to Steven. But Steven brought his dog out and I could not control her. She went right into attack mode and all I could think is, this is not going to work. Well me and Steven had a conversation on several ways to handle this. And ended up not utilizing any we talked about. He had her social with other dogs by the end of the day and they played together and say together. He sent me pictures and videos of the interactions and made me feel comfortable. When I picked her up he had everything ready for her to leave with and she was a happy dog. From this interaction I'm going to use Steven every time I need a sitter. I'm sticking with what worked and this worked for me. Thank you Steven you did a great job.”

“I cannot begin to describe how good it was to deal with Rahied. And I’m pretty confident coming home will be a bit of a letdown for Pax 😉. I hope to have reason to do business again.”

“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”

“My dogs Nimbu and Sona have stayed with Vicki and her husband multiple times and they always have the BEST time! They are so kind and respectful and always go above and beyond for us and our pups! They send the best photos and we absolutely love them! If you need to board your dogs you should ABSOLUTELY go with Vicki!!!”

“Queeny provided a safe and welcoming home away from home for our two dogs. She sent us photos or videos every day to show that the dogs were healthy and happy, and we could tell that the dogs were stress-free when we came to collect them. We like the fact that there was an enclosed yard for them to run in, and that they were the only dogs in the home. We will definitely use Queeny again!”

“Maritza and Daniel took care of our dog Asuna while we were on a vacation. My dog Asuna got along with their pug Lupe during the meet and greet and they have a lovely home.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”

“Sogol was a wonderful sitter for our scaredy cat, Topanga. She made sure to give Topanga her own quiet space and spent lots of time with her while she acclimated to her new surroundings. She sent lots of videos and pictures throughout her stay. We are so happy we opted for Sogol, Topanga had a great time!”


“Jonah and Casey were very flexible and accommodating to allowing Willie to stay in their home. They definitely took care of Willie in the same way they would for their own. Boris was an amazing companion for our dog; they definitely wore each other out. Looking forward to another stay with J&C next time we're in detroit.”

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, she provided exceptional care for our pupppy. She kept us updated with a ton of pictures and videos and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Her home is clean and welcoming, and it’s clear that she takes great pride in providing a safe and loving environment for the pets she cares for. Her professionalism and dedication truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Andrew & Linh did an outstanding job keeping me posted with Ruby’s care throughout her stay with comments, pics and videos! This was my first time having them watch her, and I will definitely ask again if I’m out of town!”


About: Hi! I specialize in puppy care, separation anxiety, and brachycephalic breeds. Having a Bulldog of my own has taught me firsthand how to handle the unique needs of smushy-faced dogs — from monitoring breathing to keeping them cool and comfortable. For anxious or velcro dogs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with plenty of reassurance. Puppies get the extra patience, structure, and supervision they need to feel right at home. 🐾 I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.
“Whitley is the absolute best! Gave our dog so much love, movement, and fun! Marshall loved playing with her dog too. She was super accommodating when our flight was delayed too.”

Kara was an amazing dog sitter for Molly! She was very kind, attentive, and kept us updated with daily pictures while we were away. Molly got plenty of walks, car rides, and attention, and she looked like she was having a great time. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Kara again and highly recommend her!

Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
Heidi once again was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our sweet dog while we were away! She’s so thorough and sends so many updates. Copper always looks so so happy there! So grateful for Heidi and all her help with Copper, we always know she’s in the best care at Heidi’s!

Jennifer was great with Basil. She sent updates and Basil always looked like he was having a good time and getting lots of attention. It was really hard to leave our pup and Jennifer made us feel a lot better, knowing she was being so caring with him. I would recommend Jennifer and use her again.

Hannah was absolutely AMAZING with our 2 high energy boys! It was my first time using a rover sitter & I would bring my babies back to Hannah 100 times over. She was so kind & understanding and I could tell she really listened to every thing I told her. Bleu is typically nervous around men so I wasn’t sure how he would be in a house with a man, but Hannah’s fiance was an ADDED BONUS! He and Bleu played every day & just loved eachother. Their kind & calm energy was apparent the second we stepped into their home to pick up our boys- my pets were so freaking calm and relaxed and it put any guilt I had at ease! I will be using a sitter more often now that I know how amazing she will be to my boys!!

I used Rover the first time during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I’m so glad Krystal was available to watch my puppy after my initial plans fell through. Krystal sent daily pictures and videos of Ace while I was away. I would use Krystals services again and would definitely recommend.
