Our pets really like Shae and she takes great care of them. She sends us lots of pictures while we’re out of town, and everyone is in great spirits when we get home.

Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.

Ellen does a wonderful job with my furs! I’m always a nervous wreck leaving my babies but to see how excited they are when they see Ellen puts my worries at ease! Definitely appreciative of finding someone who knows how to handle both personalities my pups have!

Our girl was happy, got snuggles and was well loved when we were gone. Andrew was also able to stay an extra day so we could extend our vacation!

Lauren is great! I've had Lauren as a repeat sitter both for overnight stays and for drop in's and I highly recommend. Lauren is great with both dogs - one of which is a bit shier and harder to get to know. Lauren is consistent and reliable!

Nicole and her family were wonderful. She was very responsive and always sending updates on our pups. They were very accommodating when we had multiple flight delays getting home. We appreciate everything they did for our family.

Lauren has watched our pup twice now, and will continue to be our go to sitter! She watched her for our Wedding weekend and it was such a weight off of our shoulders knowing our dog was in great hands ❤️

Tommi was professional and helpful. I have an older cat and Tommi checked up on his wellbeing and went beyond just cat sitting. Upon returning home my cats were healthy and happy.

About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at Meijer in the grocery department. My schedule consists of working Friday-Monday or Thursdays-Monday. I work the morning shift for the store which is 4am-12pm. Which will give me the rest of the day to play and care for your furry family members!! If you have more than one furry friend and can easily separate them if needed and make sure they are both calm with each other if they are in the same area watched very carefully. If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.

About: Caring for my own pets has given me a strong appreciation for their happiness, comfort, and daily needs. I believe we’re their voice, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and able to enjoy their time to the fullest. I work full time as a salon manager but I write my own schedule for work so I’m very flexible and typically have weekdays off! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed! I don’t have kids and have a lot of free time! I am extremely responsible at keeping and taking care of all fur babies! I’m so passionate about protecting their safety and making sure they are well cared for.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Collie starting when I was 7 years old, and later had my own Corgi for 8 wonderful years. Those experiences gave me a deep love and appreciation for dogs and the care, patience, and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I would treat every dog with genuine affection, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own. My pet care availability is mainly on weekends, which allows me to be fully present and give pets the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. Weekend availability works well for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting in a client’s home, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by caring for them in their familiar environment and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, exercise needs, medications, house rules, and anything else that helps them feel safe and secure. I treat every client’s home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Brittany helped us in a pinch and was so good with our Great Dane, Rosemary. We appreciated her responsiveness and all the photos and videos she sent of their time together. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and knows how to care for them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup and couldn't be more grateful. Rose made a new friend, and we look forward to using her services again. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!

About: I LOVE animals! I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My animals are very well taken care of. They are like children to me. You will never need to worry about your pet, as I will treat them like my own. I currently work at the Henry Ford Allegiance Health, where I have been for 28 years. I am a receptionist, and enjoy interacting with people. I go above and beyond to make the patients experience the best that it can be! I am married and have 3 amazing kids. I have been married for 22 years. It is time for this momma to find something more to do outside of the house. I currently work 8 hour shifts. My children are adults, so I have all the time in the world! My goal is to have you go on vacation and not worry about your pet! I would prefer to watch pets in your home, due to having 3 dogs of my own. I would spend as much time as I need to with them. They will be treated like my own!

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I have 11+ years of caring for animals and have worked with dogs, specifically puppies for over 4 years. I have tons of experience caring for dogs and have watched many over the years. My husband Nick and I have 3 dogs of our own: a 8 year old Lab/Golden rescue who is blind, a 5 year old Cockapoo and a 4 year old mini Poodle. We also have a 1 year old tailless black kitty and a 3 year old Holland Lop rabbit. We have a fenced in yard and live an active lifestyle which includes playing lots of fetch with the pups and taking many walks. I’ve had experience with dogs with all different personalities and behaviors. Can’t wait to see your fur babies! I am available for boarding most days. I am willing to pick up/ drop off the pup if need be. Right now my schedule is open. I care for my dogs like they are part of the family. I think it’s important to prioritize my dogs need to ensure they are happy and healthy
