“Abbey has been great with our dog. She gives her plenty of attention and is attentive to her needs. Our needs waver and she is always flexible within her capacity. She’s been a great addition to Pippin’s care team.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had loving but sassy golden retriever, she was so nurturing and maternal we nicknamed her Nanny Girl. She always groomed and watched over us kids but also our cats lol! I then was blessed to spend 12 wonderfully sweet years with my black lab. He was such a spunky, funny pup and grew into the sweetest, most gentle little old man. I miss him terribly, but I am not quite ready to get another dog. I frequently dog/cat sit for family and friends and I still have boxes of toys left for your pup to play with. I remember the stress and worry of leaving your fur baby behind and in the care of someone else when going on vacation. I can promise you that I will love and spoil your fur baby as if they were my own. I work from home full time so I will be with your dog all day (with the exception of a possible quick errand). I can accommodate any needs that your dog has. If they are high energy I am very familiar with lots of parks, trails and dog parks in the area to run and play and get all that energy out. If they have slowed down a bit I have a comfy couch and lots of blankets to snuggle up with and toys to play at their pace with. I work remotely, so I am able to be with your pet all day. We can go out for walks frequently or if medication needs to be administered throughout the day I am available to do that. I am very clean and am overly cautious when taking pups outside. I always make sure they are on their leash securely and stay alert for things going on around us.
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. I love dogs and give mine the loving attention they deserve. You can rest assured your dog will receive the same love, attention, and proper care/treatment. I'm a teacher currently not working in the summer...so I can help out anytime you need it. Once the school year starts, my hours will change, but for now, I'm here to help! I have a big, fenced backyard. I have crates available if needed. You can trust that your dog's safety and positive environment will be my top priority.
About: My passion for animals is like no other. From my own family dogs to my own at home and now yours. Dogs are family members that deserved to be treated as such. When my friends and family think of me the first thing to come to mind is dog lady. I adore taking care of them and making sure they live their best lives as they are only here for a short time. Please keep in mind, Rover takes a 20% fee from all sitters. While tips are not expected, they are greatly appreciated. Thank you! I work a full time job till 5 pm so I am available in the evening and on weekends! You can message me for more availability. I care for each pet as if they were my own. I look at fur babies like human children who deserve one on one special attention.
“From the first minute I spoke to Zoe, I knew that I had hired a great person to watch Flex and take him for a walk. She came over the night before and did a meet-and-greet. Flex had other ideas, but she communicated with me, which put me at ease. I highly recommend Zoe.”
“Lindsay is so down to earth and friendly, Tink loves having her come over for walks. Usually if Tink doesn’t like the person she heads right home, but after a photo Lindsay took of Tink not wanting to come back inside, it truly showed how much Tink trusts her! She’s also extremely accommodating and very good at communicating schedule changes etc. We can’t say enough good things about you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds for 4 years! I have experience with puppies through adults, both housesitting and short pet visits. I’m currently in school 2 days a week, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your beloved pet whether it’s overnight or a short visit! I have experience with crating, fenced in yards, long yard leashes, and free roaming dogs. Depending on your preferences, I will make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of when they’re with me.
About: I have been taking care of pets for almost all my life. We've always had pets at home. Their love to us is infinite and unconditional. I will take care of you pet as if it was mine. With my fenced yard and huge basement, your pet will not get bored with me! I do not work, so I am available to pick-up/drop your pet at your place if needed, walk your dog at the nearby park, or just spend time to play and make your pet enjoys its stay!

About: Ever since I was a teenager, family, friends, and neighbors have relied on my to pet-sit and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. Similar to my approach with cats, I introduce myself with confidence, caution, and respect while paying attention to the dog's body language. I've had the pleasure of meeting many dogs ranging from energetic ones that pull hard when walking, to low-energy dogs that either want light play or may have chronic pain. Whatever the case is, I'm quick to learn how to befriend them! I'm a recent graduate with a Computer Science degree, looking for full-time software work. The job search has been very slow to yield results, so I have very open availability while I search. As long as I'm not already booked on a given day, I'm open on any day of the week and at any time (including evenings). Unfortunately due to the pickiness of my two cats, Charlie and Pim, I'm unable to have any pets brought to my home. Regarding caring for pets at a client's home, I'm open to visits lasting many hours, or making multiple visits in a day. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs, and can care for other mammals (I have minimal experience with reptiles and birds). As long as I have detailed notes on your pet's routine and special care instructions, I'll work diligently to ensure their daily routine sees minimal disruption while you're gone!
“We started using Miguel for occasional walks for our two dogs recently and it has been great! He shows up as scheduled and it’s nice knowing our dogs get some extra exercise during the day with someone who enjoys walking dogs.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets for over 4 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I started dog sitting in my spare time for family and friends, and they’ve always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra love. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a walk, or a cozy overnight stay, I’m here to provide reliable care filled with love and attention. I currently work full-time as a supervisor and have Thursdays and Fridays off. On the days I work, I’m typically scheduled for 8-hour shifts, so I can still accommodate pet care depending on how long the dog is comfortable being home alone. I’m available for daily walks—especially in the evenings—and I’m happy to adjust my schedule when possible to meet each pet’s needs. My days off give me even more flexibility for daytime care, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Each dog sitting experience has been unique, as I always tailor the care to the pet’s needs and the family’s preferences. While I haven’t hosted dogs in my own home yet, I’ve cared for pets in their homes where they feel most comfortable. I make sure to follow the routine each family sets—whether that’s feeding, walks, cuddle time, or outdoor play. I do my best to keep pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away.
“Tori has been great with my pup since they met. Gives detailed updates of drop ins and walks with lots of pictures (which I very much appreciate when Im away). Always prompt and very trustworthy! Thanks again Tori!”
About: I graduated with a BS in Animal Science @ MSU and will be attending veterinary school this fall! I have many years of medical experience working with dogs and cats as a vet assistant in animal clinics and shelters. I am very experienced in administering medications, animal behavior, and overall health care for animals of all ages. I am extremely passionate about taking care of animals and am committed to providing them the best stress-free experience while their owners are away! I am currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic, so I have lots of time during the week to take care of your pets! I am flexible and can work with you to find what time is best for both our schedules! With my current job experiences at animal clinics and shelters, I know how to properly handle and take care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and breeds. I am very reliable, on-time, and will communicate any questions or concerns with my clients.
About: I have always grown up around animals - cats, horses, and dogs! I love engaging with dogs whether it be at home, on walks, or at the dog park. I’ve had my dog for 2.5 years now, and I’m currently fostering a puppy from DACC in Detroit. I’m really looking forward to meeting many different dogs and their families! I currently work full time from home, so I am home basically all day every day. I’m flexible in that I would be willing to have ongoing long-term set schedules or short-term visits &/or walks! I’m open to anything and would love any opportunity to help take care of one’s dog! I have a fenced in yard so it’s super easy for your dog to go out to potty or play! I love working outside in the back yard so my dogs can be outside as much as they want to!
About: Hi! My name is Callahan. I’m a recent graduate from Eastern Michigan University. I come from a family of animal lovers with cats, a dog, and even bunnies. I have my own cat baby who has feline asthma and other medical conditions. I am very comfortable caring for cats with medical conditions and administering pills. I also love dogs and am comfortable taking care of them. I am looking for full time employment with my public health degree right now so I am available to watch your pets anytime other than a few select dates. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I have a small apartment so I will not be able to care for pets in my home but would love to drop in or stay for services at others

Bonnie S.
“Bonnie watched our very energetic, 6 month old, puppy for 10 days last summer. She took such good care of her, walked her twice a day, played with her in the yard, snuggled - as much as you can with a puppy with those sharp teeth:) and basically was a great dog mom while we were gone. Bonnie is a very happy and kind person which carried over to her care of our puppy. I observed her being gentle but firm when interacting with our puppy as well as my daughter's dog and could see that she genuinely loves animals. Upon our return I could tell our puppy missed all the love and attention she was given. Bonnie spent a lot of time with our puppy and took great care of her. I would highly recommend her to be your dog's caregiver!”
Michael L.
“Michael owns two dogs. They are both around age four. He has raised one from a puppy and the other he rescued from Leader Dogs for the Blind. His teaching career and his dogs are his main focus in life. His dogs adore him. He has a dog proof home with a very nice fenced in back yard. He walks his dogs four times per day even during the school year. Anyone can see his devotion to his pets. I cannot recommend any other person that, in my opinion, would take better care of your dog. His dogs are super friendly and know how to act around other people and their pets. Your dog would be in loving, competent hands with Michael. And you will receive texts and pictures from him if you desire.”

A M A Z I N G!!! Our dog had an opportunity to spend some serious time with his grandmother. Liz made it all happen. She was punctual. She was flexible. She was caring. She was perfect at documenting, photographing and updating. Liz provided us with outstanding service and peace of mind that our dog was in very capable hands. Hope we can link together in the future. She is the best.
