“Lukis was AMAZING! My girl cat, Gladys, really warmed up to Lukis in almost no time at all. She kept me up to date on everything and sent me great photos. I usually have so much anxiety around leaving my cats with a sitter, but not this time. I WILL be a repeat customer.”


“We loved having Mary Kay take care of our cat, Kajol! We were gone two weekends for weddings and Mary Kay dropped by and spent some time with Kajol. And I know Kajol appreciated it because she needs attention each day! Mary Kay did a great job with Kajol’s needs, which include keeping her cone clean since she’s in one for anxiety issues! Would definitely recommend to anyone to take care of their pets!”


About: I worked at Premier Pet Supply for a year and a half, and LOVE dogs!! I am also very active and am used to walking my 50lb pitbull who knows how to pull😂 I am currently a full-time student who works a part-time job! I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!
About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I provide pet care full-time, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because this is my main focus, I am available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday bookings. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care

“Jeannette took great care of our little guy while we were away! I was initially apprehensive because this is the first time I’ve used Rover, but Jeannette put my mind at ease with lots of pics of our cat being spoiled while she was there. Would 100% book Jeannette again to drop in on Mo!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up around them taught me everything I needed to know about their moods, needs, and the little quirks that make each one special. Most recently, I had the joy of caring for a friend’s puppy full-time for six months, and that experience only deepened my love for the job. From daily walks and bath time to feeding routines and training sessions, I’m comfortable handling it all. Whether your pup is a laid-back lounger or a high-energy handful, I’ve got the patience and experience to meet them right where they are. When your dog is with me, they’re family! As a recent college grad working fully remote this summer, I have more flexibility than ever and I love every second of it. My days and weekends are wide open, which means your pup will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s a midday walk, an afternoon play session, or just some good old couch cuddles, I’m here and fully present. No squeezing visits in between a packed schedule, your dog gets my undivided attention:) I provide dog sitting exclusively at your home, meaning your pup stays in their own familiar environment, surrounded by everything they already know and love. No adjustment period, no added stress. I’m extremely detail oriented, so nothing slips past me when it comes to your dog’s safety and well-being. From securing doors and gates to following feeding schedules and medication routines to the letter, you can trust that every little detail will be handled with care.
“Repeat! Once again, Lauren was fantastic and attentive - making sure to spend quality time with our cat and sending us pictures of their time together. It was clear that our cat was well-cared for during our time away which is a great relief to us!”

About: Hi there! I've always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up, there were always multiple cats in the house, and when I was 16, my family adopted our first dog, who quickly became part of the family. Over the past five years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and roommates, caring for both dogs and cats for everything from quick weekend trips to extended stays up to three weeks. I’m experienced with a variety of pet needs, including administering medications, brushing teeth, and providing gentle, specialized care tailored to each animal’s routine and personality. I also recently adopted an adult cat who is the absolute love of my life, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry companion in someone else’s hands. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work from home from 12 to 4 PM. This leaves me open for morning and evening visits and walks! I am also completely open on weekends. I’m totally used to quirky and detailed feeding routines, so whether your pet’s a grazer or needs a whole production at mealtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m happy to feed, brush, cuddle, and keep them company. For dogs, I’ll make sure they get potty breaks, walks, some fetch if they’re up for it, or just a buddy to hang with so they don’t feel lonely. Every pet’s different, and I’m always happy to go with their flow.
“Caitie was excellent. She provided me with excellent updates with a photo on how my little poodle was doing as she completed her visits. She was very thoughtful with getting to know my little dog, who is cautious around new people. I will be having Caitie back next month!”

“We booked Ariel to take care of our 2 cats for a quick weekend trip and she took extra care of them! She provided lots of pets and play time once they received wet food and fresh water. We would recommend booking Ariel and would absolutely hire her again!”

“Chelsea is so awesome! My mom needed someone to check on her sweet and affectionate cat, Romeo, while she was out visiting me. She took such wonderful care of him. We were able to really enjoy our time together without worrying, because we knew he was in good and capable hands. Thanks Chelsea!! ♥️”

About: I have 5 pets, 3 dogs and 2 cats! Having so many pets has taught me the skills needed to take good care of them! I am a college student looking for summer jobs, so I am very flexible. I should be available most weekdays, but definitely on weekends this summer. I have a fenced yard. My dogs are always indoors unless they have to go to the bathroom or want to play outside, so I watch out for them a lot. My cats are always indoors, but I am always aware of where they are to take good care of them.
“Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.”

About: With years of devoted experience in dog care, I've nurtured countless canine companions, both my own and those of family and friends. Whether it's strolls in the park or cuddles on the couch, I love making a dog's day! I'm detail-oriented and am capable of adhering to specific medication schedules and dietary requirements. From puppies to seniors, I have the expertise to cater to dogs of all ages with affection and care. My schedule is flexible and I can walk your dog in the mornings, afternoon, and evenings. As long as there is daylight there shouldn't be any problems! I can not currently care for any pets in my home since I live in an apartment but I can follow any instructions you give on taking care of your pets within your home.
About: I grew up with three big dogs as members of my family. But since these days I don’t live with any dogs of my own, your dog gets to be the star of the show while they stay with me. I joined Rover because I love spending time with dogs and want to help give your pet a vacation while you're on yours. That means your dog gets to stay in a fun, comfortable environment while you're out of the house, and have someone to play with them, let them out when they need, and take them on nice long walks. All dogs are different and have different needs, and I am prepared to follow any special care directions to make sure your dog is comfortable and happy while you're gone. Because I work part time, my schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to chat about any questions you might have. Ask me anything you'd like to know! I also have experience looking after cats. I work part time, so the longest your dog will be unattended is 6.5 hours (but many work days are shorter than that, and I am completely free on weekends). I am happy to accommodate any of you or your pet’s needs to make their stay comfortable and as close to their regular routine as possible. I appreciate doing Meet and Greets before a stay to find out if we’re a good fit for each other.
Southwest Detroit pet parents share their Rover experiences
Preti was great with our cat Nebula. She came by our place before hand and asked questions while getting to know our girl a little bit. She filled out Rover Cards with detail and let me know if something unexpected happened. Overall she was a great sitter. Will be looking to book again.

Literally so kind and so awesome, I asked for a drop in pretty last minute and Lukis was so wonderful and came through in checking in on my baby girl. I was nervous to leave her for the first time since her brother passed and Lukis was so empathetic and sweet and made me feel like it was possible to move forward (and leave the house 🤣) Really grateful, 1000/10 recommend 😻🫶

Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.
