“I’ve booked with Kathleen multiple times to care for my two cats, and I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust with my fur babies! Anyone with cats knows they all have their own little personalities and quirks, and it means so much to me to know they’re being cared for with patience and love. I know my kitties are in good hands while I’m away. Having someone reliable who takes the time to care for them and make sure they’re happy and comfortable gives me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy cat sitter!”
“Genie is absolutely phenomenal!! She does an absolutely incredible job taking care of our cat as well as looking after our home while we are away! She goes above and beyond and we could not be happier with our experience!”
“Lindsey was great with my 3 cats one of them needing nightly meds. She communicated with me every visit and she took our trash out wacummed before we got home.”
“Mason, did an awesome job carrying for my cat Mango and the neighborhood cats while I was out for the holidays. I got detailed information through the Rover Cards everyday. I felt at peace having Mason looking for my cat and I’ll definitely think of them next time.”

“All we can say is...AMAZING! Sarah cared for our senior dog, Murphy, while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving him with somebody other than family. He was comfortable, cared for, and given a lot of attention. She administered medicine to him, walked him, and treated him like her own pet. She send us detailed feedback and pictures at each visit. We highly recommend Sarah and will be a repeat client!”

About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home
About: I think that animals have personalities, feelings, and emotions just like humans do. So when I take care of a furry friend, it's like I'm taking care of a baby. They need a lot of attention and require a lot of care. I like to get to know your fur baby and build a bond with them. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve-racking but I want you to know that when you leave your dog in my care, that they will be treated with respect and given the best care that I can provide. I am always available and willing to put in the effort it takes. This would help supplement my income and give me the opportunity to spend more time with fur babies of all kinds! I enjoy the company of fur babies, it is very therapeutic. I have plenty of space for fur babies to be comfortable. I love to take my baby on walks and have plenty of play time as well.
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have also taken many dogs of variety of sizes on walks before when I volunteered at a dog shelter. I can come any time after 11 a.m Monday through Saturday. Any time in between works so it's easy to find a time for both of us. At home I have one cat and 2 dogs. We have a large fenced yard. The dogs can go out freely and the cat is overseen when he wants to walk outside. Our neighbors also own dogs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling Heights
Book her now because Chamira is wonderful. We asked for 2x daily drop ins over a week to mange 3 cats and each visit was perfect. She sent us pics and notes with every visit.. more like a little story about each of our cats. She gave our diabetic cat his injection twice a day, made sure our littlest one got time at the faucet that she loves to drink out of and even left us some cute printed photos of our crew. Chamira is smart, polite and uses gentle techniques to help your animals get comfortable with someone new in their house. Wrangling cats is impossible but Chamira has it down.
Genie was great, this was our second booking with her and unfortunately we are moving or we would be repeat customers going forward. Great communication, great pet sitting, I even asked my cat if she was good for Genie and my Kiki gave a very enthusiastic meow 😂
