“Chelsea was a perfect fit to check in on my two cats while I was out of town! She took great care of them and the Rover cards are a nice addition to the experience. I will definitely be asking her to come back in the future.”


About: Hi, I grew up in a home that had dogs and have also worked with rescues over the years. I am able to help potty train, teach tricks, work on leash and friendly play for puppies. I have toys treats and a fenced yard. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. We have a small pomsky and a old chihuahua/yorkie mix who are the friendliest dogs in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog our home might not be ideal. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing and welcome to make sure your fur baby and ours will be a great fit. I am also a wildlife rehabitator at Lost Child Wildlife Rehabilitation on facebook. I am working hard to help the voiceless orphaned wildlife. My life gets a little crazy during wildlife season but that does not stop me from being able to care for your furry family members. Wildlife and animals in general are my passion and always have been. I am also enrolled in Unity College online to further my education and the help I can provide to our wildlife. I am currently a stay at home mom and have all the free time to spend with your fur baby while their family is away. We wake up at 730-8am everyday and have a great routine that any fur baby will fit right into. We could do holidays, weekends overnights and everything in between. I have a fenced in yard, dog friendly dogs and tons of toys for playtime. We have donut bed, blankets, crates if they are needed and enjoy going on walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”


“Kelly took amazing care of my cat when I was out of town. She sent regular updates which made me feel more at ease for leaving my cat behind. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you again!!!”


“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”


“Nicole took wonderful care of our 3 cats, and under the craziest possible circumstances (one senior cat with diabetes needing insulin twice a day, and a juvenile male and female that aren't fixed yet and had to be kept separated). It was half cat sitting and half cat jailer, and through it all Nicole was super friendly and communicative and we came home to 3 happy cats. 10/10, we'll definitely book her again!”


About: I have had pets growing up my entire life. From dogs, cats, turtles and snakes. Since i was younger i have loved animals immensely and have had a passion for working with them. I was a kennel technician for about a year, I’ve worked at two veterinary clinics, one currently being Wyandotte Animal Hospital. I was at my old clinic 2 years. I currently am a fur mom to 1 dog and 1 cat. I work Monday, Wed-Fri during the week but am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and through the weekend. I will accommodate best to what you, and your pet(s) need!🐾🤍. I can provide dog walking and drop in visits for cats/dogs. I do not have a backyard, which is why i do not offer drop offs. I also offer ear cleanings for an additional fee.

“Shelby took care of my cat while I was out of town for a whole MONTH! She was absolutely amazing, dependable, prompt, caring, communicative ... I could go on, but you get the point. Everything was perfect when I got back home. I think my cat was disappointed to see me & not Shelby LOL! Shelby is a blessing and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I will book with her every time if I can. Thank you! Joan”


“Arianna demonstrated an excellent attention to detail in care of the cats. She went above and beyond outlined duties. Always kept to schedule. She is an excellent cat sitter and I look forward to using her services again. 5 stars!”


About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine, and that love eventually led me to a career in wildlife biology and conservation. I grew up with both cats and dogs and see them as members of the family! I began caring for family pets at age 8, and pet sat for neighbors, family friends, and clients in High School and college. After college, I worked seasonal field jobs as a wildlife biologist and pet sat in between field seasons. I adopted my dog Abby -- a sweet, social Black Lab Pitt mix -- 11 years ago and trained her using positive reinforcement, play and consistent socialization. While I'm not a certified trainer, I do have some hands-on experience with dog training and behavior support. I've cared for pets of all ages and needs -- from energetic puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs with mobility issues. I'm also experienced with administering medication (pills, oral syringes, and injections) and have supported post-surgical recovery and physical therapy for dogs recovering from CCL tears and tumor removals (Abby has been through both). I look forward to caring for your cat or dog as if it were my own! I am currently available to pet sit full-time and have a flexible schedule Monday through Sunday. I will update my availability regularly in my profile, to ensure it is up-to-date. Pet parents can text or call me at any time to check-in and I will happily provide text and photo updates. In your home: I will meet your pet where they are at depending on their age, energy levels, comfort and mobility. I will provide them with affection and will encourage them to move their bodies with some play time or a walk. About my home (Doggy Daycare currently paused): I live in a cozy 3-bedroom 1,000 sq ft bungalow on a fully fenced double lot -- perfect for pups to play, explore and relax safely. My neighborhood in Wyandotte has lots of walkable, dog-friendly routes, and we love getting outside. There are lots of durable, safe dog toys on hand (approved by Abby, the Toy Destroyer), as well as extra dog beds and cozy blankets for lounging. I am flexible and happy to make adjustments in my home to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home a few days a week, but will be in his office and will not be assisting with pet care. I will be fully available and present with your pet.

About: No such thing as a dog too big! Growing up with several dogs in my family home, I truly view them as a part of our families. With a belief in positive reinforcement and redirection, your dog will have a fun, stress-free time; making our home their home for the duration of their stay. Having gone through the puppy stage several times, including within the past year, I can assure you our patience is tried and tested, and that I carry an attitude in which it is imperative to maintain respect for the individual temperament of each dog. Some breeds I have experience with include: pitbulls, labs, dobermans, cane corsos, boxers, and mastiffs. I have trained my dogs in basic obedience, all with varying degrees of energy level, stubbornness, and intelligence 🙃. While size does not matter, all dogs who enter our home must be child and dog friendly. **To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone involved, meet and greets are mandatory without exception before boarding or daycare. This can take place at a dog-friendly park, or our backyard if you would like to see our home.** *Smoke and alcohol free home *Large fenced backyard *Almost always home I am a full time stay at home mom to a 3.5 year old as well as 1 year old male (neutered) dog. We do not leave him home alone for more than three hours, so your dog would have human companionship and access to the outdoors at almost all times! Our dog is no longer using one, so we have a large crate that your dog is welcome to use if that is what they are accustomed to or have any destructive tendencies when left alone. Our dog gets lot's of love and exercise. We make sure he practices good manners with daily basic training and keep him happy with enrichment activities, walks, and plenty of scratches. We never leave him outside unattended and he is ALWAYS leashed if outside of the backyard fence. I have had three dogs as an adult, and none have ever escaped.

“I had Nicole come for a drop in with a short notice. She was very accommodating and had good communication with what my dog was doing. My dog is a little older and crankier so it was good having the updates. Would use her again!”


About: I have extensive experience in animal rescue, animal, foster, and pet sitting . I have taken many classes for animal, safety techniques, training, techniques, and dog reactive techniques. I currently work weekend nights and one weekday. I have availability outside of a normal schedule if requested. Wednesday 11-4 is not open. Thank you. I have taken classes through the ASPCA in safe handling of animals. Extensive experience in the Detroit and Southgate animal shelters & many rescue spaces.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was little! I have been a pet sitter for my parents friends, neighbors, and other family members. I work part time and I go to school but I will always make time for your pets! I can go in between classes and on lunch breaks! I will always make sure that your animals are fed and have enough water and to make sure they are as happy as can be!

About: I am an avid dog lover and lover of all animals!! We treat our dogs like people, but more importantly they are our family. I will come to your home and watch your babies in the comfort of their own space. I work remote, so I can work from your home. I love all kinds of dogs as long as they don't bite strangers :) I will give you a discount on more than 2 dogs, just message me and ask, I take photos or videos everyday and send them to you, but sometimes I send them to your personal phone and not the app, so it affects my photo rating on here. About this sitter: I am an avid pet lover who works remotely and would love to take care of your furbaby/babies in the convenience of their own home! I can travel anywhere with enough notice. Just let me know! I am quite flexible and would enjoy giving my time and attention to your loved one! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a teenager, but really since I was born as I have always been in a house with dogs! I have been volunteering and helping out dogs for the past three decades!

Nichole S.
“Rover.com To say that Nichole loves animals would be a understatement. Nichole has been around animals most of her life and over the past few years she has gotten involved with the animal rescue and rehab community. She has helped find homes for domestic animals that were discarded by their owners or orphaned when their mothers were killed. She also works to rehab wild baby animals so they can be released back into the wild. You won't find anyone that loves animals as much as Nichole does. R. Federick”

She has a natural ability to connect with both people and animals, and it shows in the way she treats every creature with kindness and respect. From her hands-on experience working with wildlife in the field to the devoted way she cares for her own pets, Erin approaches animal care with patience, empathy, and attention to detail. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable caregiver for their pet.”


Krista & Jonathan R.
“Krista has shown incredible dedication, responsibility, and genuine affection for my dogs. They have always been punctual, reliable, and extremely attentive to my pet's needs. Whether it was feeding, walking, or playtime, Krista went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and well-cared for. One of the things that impressed me most about Krista was their ability to handle unexpected situations with calm and professionalism. On one occasion, my dog Dolly cut her paw pad while playing in the yard, and Krista responded quickly and effectively, ensuring my pet's safety and well-being. Krista communicated regularly with me during my time away, providing updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Krista to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Their dedication and love for animals make them an invaluable resource for any pet owner.”

She was reliable, punctual, observant, patient and always loving. Our Girls simply love walks with Lissa and always came home happy, well-exercised, in good shape and exhausted. . Lissa has the keys to our home and took care of both dog when we were away on holiday. She always did a great job and I never had to worry. She is completely honest and very responsible”

Shelbi was wonderful with my cat, and took pictures and videos of him every day to send to me while I was out of town. I had total peace of mind while away that my furbaby was taken care of and loved. Shelbi went above and beyond the expected, checking in on my cat an extra time during the day when he seemed “off” from his normal self. She also tackled his litter box, and took the trash out. I’m very grateful for her services and would hire her again in the future. I found her very trustworthy and reliable.
