About: I have been around animals my whole life. From pigs to dogs, I have taken care of a lot of animals. I started off pet siting for family members and friends and recently started caring through Rover. I love the community on the app and have had so much fun getting to know everyone’s pets. I am currently a full time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I play collegiate softball which has shown me positive time management skills. I work part time as a mobility tech at an hospital and have worked multiple other jobs. Because I only work part time, my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one dog and two cats at home. My dog is full of energy so I am in charge of taking him on walks and outside on the daily. My cats are very low energy and love to sleep. I am able to care for high energy or low energy animals since I have experience with both.

About: I am an attorney with dozens of years of experience caring for my own dogs and pet sitting for friends and family! I have a shih tzu, pug, king charles spaniel, and a canary :). I would love to give your pets the same love! I am currently flexible with my schedule because I work remotely from home most days, so I am free for walks, visits, and overnights as needed. I definitely will leave your home clean and tidy. I care for pets by making sure they have plenty of food and water, taking them out to the bathroom regularly, and allowing them time to exercise and play.

“Very satisfied - she followed my list each day and the pics showed my two cats enjoyed playtime!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of who I am. From Australian Shepherds and Pit Bulls to little Yorkies, I’ve grown up loving dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs. I’ve also house-sat for family and friends while they were away, staying with their dogs and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own home. 🐾❤️ My love for animals started at a young age. I began volunteering at animal shelters during middle school and high school, and I’ve continued that passion ever since. For the past four years, I’ve volunteered at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, where I help with events and spend several days a week walking, caring for, and giving attention to the dogs there. I’ve also always loved attending dog-related events throughout the years, including Mutt Strut, now known as Pawchella, along with other dog events throughout the Metro Detroit area. Being around dogs and connecting with other people who share the same love for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. One of my favorite things about caring for dogs is getting to know their individual personalities. Whether they’re an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they need. My experience has given me the opportunity to care for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d be so happy to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and attention I would give my own! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible work schedule. I’m a nail technician and work Tuesday through Friday, but I make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to plan around your pup’s needs. My weekends and Mondays are my days off, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m especially available for weekend in-home dog sitting and would be happy to travel to your home and stay with your pup while you’re away. I’m also available for drop-in visits and helping out when you need an extra hand during the day. At the moment, I’m unable to board dogs in my own home because I’m living with family, but I’m more than happy to come to you! I love the idea of caring for dogs in their own environment, where they’re already comfortable and surrounded by the things they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pup. 🐾💕 When caring for your dog in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away\. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pup happiest and most comfortable\. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection\. Whether your dog loves going on long walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m there to give them the care and companionship they’re used to\. I also believe that staying in their own home can make being away from their family much easier\. Instead of being somewhere unfamiliar, your pup can stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in\. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and one\-on\-one attention throughout my stay\. While you’re away, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own\. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual that may need your attention\. I’m also happy to send you updates, photos, and little check\-ins so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away\. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like they have a friend there with them—not just someone checking a task off a list\. I’ll give them patience, love, attention, and the care they need so they can stay happy and comfortable in the place they call home\. 🐾❤️

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and they are still a part of my family in adulthood! I have raised my Welsh corgi Fritz since he was 8 weeks old, so I have ample puppy handling and training experience. I am self employed so I enjoy the benefits of making my own work schedule, which means that I can flex my own schedule around the needs of your fur babies while they are within my care. They will receive frequent potty breaks and ample opportunities for exercise and little to no alone time while in my care. I have ample unfenced yard area around my townhome and plenty of sidewalks within my complex to take your pets on walks. My home itself is a two-story, 1100 sq. foot, 3 bedroom townhouse and your pets will have full access and constant supervision. Supervised playtime with our resident corgi Fritz is also available.

About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.

About: I worked at an animal shelter for about a year and a half, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I became familiar with dogs’ and cats’ diets, learned how to understand their body language, and gained experience administering medications when needed. I’ve also owned dogs for most of my life and have always believed them to be incredibly loyal and loving companions. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary assistant program. Most of my classes are online, with the exception of Fridays, when I attend classes on campus. I am generally available Monday through Thursday for most of the day, as long as I am given advance notice. I am also available on weekends when needed, with advance notice. My pets at home are very spoiled, so I plan to treat your pets the same way! I always want to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while they’re with me. I also enjoy going on trail walks or taking long walks in general, so I’d be happy to have some furry company along the way.

About: I have cared for four dogs over the past 12 years (all rescues). I have a genuine passion for providing the best quality care, and I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with high anxiety levels and/or behavioral issues, along with puppies and senior dogs. I am also highly detail-oriented, organized, and understand the importance of routine and structure in your dog's life. Your instructions, requests, and/or concerns are my top priority. I am currently working part-time, so I have extra time during the week and on weekends to provide pet and house-sitting services. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and any other requests. I will treat your home environment with the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions and requests you give me to a tee, and your pet(s) safety is my top priority.

“Hanan is a great dogsitter for Frankie! She checks in on her & makes sure she gets a chance to run around and play. She sends lots of pictures so we feel good to see that Frankie is having fun. Hanan brings special skills to the job because of her dog training knowledge. Our dog barks and barks at new people, but Hanan is good at navigating the challenge. I saw Frankie warm up pretty fast during the meet and greet. 🩷”
