“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Jackie! She’s been our go-to sitter for Nigel for quite a while now, and every time we book with her, we know he’s in the best hands. Jackie treats Nigel like he’s her own, always giving him so much love, attention, and care. She’s incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and communicative, sending regular updates and photos that always make us smile. It’s such a relief knowing Nigel is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we’re away. We’re so grateful for Jackie and couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with our boy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful sitter! 🐶💙”

“Sam is the best! I met with Sam before leaving for the week and saw how great she was with my cats. I received great feedback every day on her visit and the cats. She was consistent and super courteous, going above and beyond by keeping the kitchen swept, the cat dishes clean, and spending time with my cats. I highly recommend Sam to care for your fur babies!”

“Amanda was great! She sent lots of pictures and made sure my two cats (including a very anxious one) were well taken care of while I was out of town for work! She also left my apartment super clean which was so nice to come back to!”

“Erica was fantastic when meeting the dogs, she absolutely knows how to approach them and provides tons of love. She is definitely a dog sitter that we will re-book! Thank you Erica for taking such a great care of our fur babies!”

“Gillian did a fantastic job watching my cats! She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything very tidy, and even sent a few great pictures of the cats snuggling up to her. 10/10 will definitely book again!”


“Heather was amazing and I can tell by all the photos she sent that my two cats were very comfortable around her. Will definitely use her again! She was very quick to respond and gave great updates. My boys were definitely well-cared for and I came home to two happy cats! Thank you!”

“We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!”
“Hannah was great. Nala, my cat, has high anxeity and does not do well with new people, but Hannah was able to break that barrier and win Nala over. Next time I need a sitter, Hannah will be my first pick.”

“Excellent cat sitter! Lizzi was so kind and patient with our spicy kitty, Jade. Never pushed her and was always focused on building trust with my skittish girl. Over our long vacation, we felt comfortable and confident knowing Jade was being so well taken care of--we loved all of the updates and photos. It was so comforting to see how well our girl was being cared for. We'll absolutely rebook in the future and look forward to Jade and Lizzi (finally) becoming besties.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m active, reliable, and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I love going on long walks, giving pets attention and playtime, and making sure they feel safe and happy. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates throughout visits! I am a full time teacher so I am available most evenings starting at 5pm and available some weekends. I am off for the summer soon and will then be available during the daytime on weekdays and on weekends when I’m not traveling! I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m mindful during walks, careful with doors/leashes, and respectful of each client’s home and routines. I also believe communication is key, so I make sure pet parents receive updates and photos for peace of mind throughout each visit!
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time and have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Tuesday, anytime before 10am on Wednesdays, after 1pm on Thursdays, and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.
“I always know I can depend on Brianna to take the best care of my cats. I always look forward to the summaries of her drop-ins, takes awesome (hilarious) photos, and does a professional job. 10/10 recommend”

About: Hi, my name is Carla. I am a 29-year-old Occupational Therapy grad student, marketing professional, and animal lover! I’m located in Royal Oak centrally close to a lot of neighborhoods. I am looking to pick up work to get some time outside more and make some extra money for school. I have always had a pet in the house! Growing up I had a cat and a dog that I was responsible for. I’ve lived with dogs recently, and I currently have my own cat. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer boarding or care at my current apartment, but I am happy to do overnight stays if needed in the client’s home. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I work full-time online so if I needed to work from a clients house or take my lunch break to do a dog walk all of these options are very easy for me to navigate. I would like to do a few dog walks or pet check ins a week, including weekdays or weekends and potentially an overnight once or twice a month . I will not be having pets at my home, but I am very mindful of pet safety whether that be on a walk or at a client’s house. I will ensure to know the temperament of the animal before I arrive. If the animal is afraid of me, I will contact the owner and reevaluate the situation so as to not add additional stress on the animal. As a general rule of thumb when walking a dog if another dog is approaching us, I will cross the street and I always make sure that if I am taking the dog out outside, they are on a leash or in a fenced in area.
About: I have owned pets my entire life. Raising 3 kids, we have always had at least 2 pets in our home at a time including dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles. With having more free time, I have the flexibility, love and patience to help others with their animals I have been at stay at home mom for over 20 years. I have 2 kids in college and an 8th grader, so I have a lot of time and flexibility helping pet owners. I am available 7 days a week. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so I would only be able to go to your home to care for your animal.
About: Everyone thinks I have a sixth sense with animals, they just seem to feel automatically at ease with me! But of course, the owner is also important, so I am committed to following your instructions meticulously because I recognize that each pet has unique requirements. As a dedicated and detail-oriented individual, I closely monitor your dog's behavior to ensure they receive everything they need—whether it's pets, cuddles, playtime, potty time, or treats! I specialize in senior care and am skilled in administering multiple medications, ensuring they take them without any attempts to hide. Always being sure to keep a close eye on their immediate needs. I know patience is crucial in my approach, a quality I learned through caring for my prior senior dog. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine revolves around adapting to their specific needs. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, allowing plenty time for extended walks and play sessions. During weekends, my schedule is highly flexible as I don't have children or a dog of my own at the moment. I have a partially fenced yard where I can supervise your dog while they're on a tether. However, I prefer taking them for walks around the neighborhood, or if you're comfortable with it, exploring trails. I am extremely attentive and vigilant during these outings.
Southfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
Winnie was awesome! Super easy to communicate with and made everything really stress-free for us. Our puppy Poppy absolutely loved her and we could tell she got tons of love and attention. Winnie is super trustworthy and reliable — we felt totally comfortable leaving Poppy in her hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
