“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”
“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.
About: I've had animals of all kinds growing up, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehog, rabbit, hamster, turtles, crawfish ect. I have been working at a horse barn for 6 years and a kennel that has primarily dogs but some cats as well for 4 years. I'm also certified in dog CPR! I work a full time job from 6:30am-3pm on Monday - Friday. If you live in Troy I can let the dog out to potty in the middle of the day on my 30 minute lunch break! I promise to send lots of pictures of the fur babies! I love to spoil them like my own, I will give updates as much or as little as you like!
About: I’ve always had a variety of pets including 4 cats and 5 dogs throughout my lifetime and understand the needs of each from puppy’s and kittens to senior dogs and cats. In addition I have experience in home care and drop in visits for family and friends dogs and cats throughout my life giving me insight on how to best care for animals with vastly different personalities. After my regular job ends at 3:30 I will typically have availability after 4pm to around 10pm every day with few exceptions for personal appointments and family events. During a typical visit, after taking care of basic needs like food, water, and bathroom breaks, I focus on exercise and socialization to ensure your pet is happy and tired before the visit is completed.
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand that older pets may need extra patience, attention, gentle walks, medication reminders, and a little more TLC. I’m also experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and keeping dogs comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, routine, and individual needs. I work in real estate, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding depending on my schedule, with additional availability on weekends. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I have 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, and understand the importance of patience, attention, and close supervision. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Mason was wonderful to work with! They gave us thorough updates with pics at each drop in, and were very communicative about making sure all of our needs and expectations were met. Our pitbull mix is a “covid baby” who doesn’t always calm down for new people, and by the end of Mason’s stay we were seeing pictures of our dog totally relaxed on her back for belly rubs. Mason also has vet experience which really put our minds at ease as we knew they would notice and act if they saw any injuries or health concerns while we were away. Will definitely book with Mason again!”
About: I’ve fostered and cared for 100’s of dogs. I own and love a few of my own. I have experience in all breeds, big and small! I work during the week but have time on weekends and some week nights to check in on your pets and take some doggies for some walks. My yard is fully fenced in with a 5ft fence. I live on 3/4 of acre. I foster dogs regularly so there are always different dogs in my home.
“Veronica watched our cat & dog for 5 days while we were away, and when we come home our animals were SO happy compared to when we board them or hire someone else! She is lovely to work with too. Thank you so much Veronica!”
About: Hi! Im Abby! I'm offering drop ins, boarding and walks in Royal oak and the surrounding areas! For boarding in my Royal Oak home, I can only accept dogs up to 20 pounds and a maximum of 2 dogs at a time. I work from home so I will be around all day to give your pups plenty of love and affection. I’ve loved animals my entire life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by horses and other animals, and I started volunteering at my local humane societies when I was just 15. Since then, I’ve spent my life working with animals in one way or another, from volunteering and dog walking to caring for pets in my own home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I have small shy dogs of my own, so I’m especially experienced with little breeds and understand their unique personalities and quirks. Because of that, I generally provide the best experience for small, lower to medium energy dogs who enjoy a relaxed home environment. I believe in treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your dog is staying overnight or just visiting for the day, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a consistent routine to help them feel at home. I’m dependable, honest, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to make every stay a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I allow every pet in my care the time to settle in, relax, and receive attention at their own pace as to keep a stress free environment. My home has a small secure fenced in backyard enclosure where dogs can safely get fresh air and take potty breaks. I always supervise outdoor time closely, and dogs are never left outside unattended we also take long walks to the wooded park across the street. . I keep things calm, secure, and comfortable so your pet can enjoy time outside while still being watched and cared for.
“Hannah was incredibly attentive and responsible while taking care of Delta during our time away. She kept the litter box and food bowls clean, and we really appreciated the thoughtful care she provided. We’d be more than happy to book with Hannah again in the future!”
“I had to extend my time out from home and Brianna was a hero to me since she accepted my request in a very short of notice. She kindly responded my request in minutes and watched out for my dogs in the next day. Thank you Brianna!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend her!
Mekenzie stopped by twice on the Fourth of July to check on my dogs with very short notice. She followed all of my instructions, took great care of them, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated her reliability and would happily book her again.
