“We were hesitant to use Rover and leave our dog in a stranger’s hands, but Angela allayed our fears with her calm demeanor, amazing communication and caring personality. She is extremely responsive and reliable and when we come home, we know that our dog has been well taken care of. We are highly satisfied with dog care that Angela has been giving us and would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker.”


“Katherine was great! Katherine is very caring and my pup, Sully, loved her. Her communication is excellent, I always got pictures and an update about how Sully was doing. I felt very confident and comfortable having Katherine come over and take care of Sully. I recommend her to anyone and also plan on rebooking with her in the future. Thanks Katherine!”


“Sully is well taken care of when Marjorie has been in our home. They make the extra effort to accommodate my work schedule and more importantly Sully’s schedule based on his needs.”


About: I go by Nora usually - I have had dogs in my home my whole life and I plan to continue. I have only housed rescue dogs, so I have dealt with all temperaments. I love all dogs and dog types. I love going on walks with the pups, snuggling, and playing fetch if they’re interested. I’m comfortable giving meds with your instructions, maintaining a feeding schedule, and picking up poop. I currently have 2 kittens, and have always loved cats of all ages. I love to play, snuggle, and care for all types of dogs and cats. I work a corporate job, 1-2 days from home, 3-4 days in Pontiac area. I can easily visit your pets in the morning or evenings any day. If you are nearby I can adjust my office days to fit your needs. I’m very flexible, so please reach out and I’m sure we can work out a schedule. I am a gentle person who loves all animals. When arriving at your home, I would enter quietly so to not scare your pet/s. If greeted happily, I would gladly roll on the ground with them & get acquainted. I would generally take your dog outside immediately so to avoid any accidents on the floor. I would check the water, food, and bathroom situation to make sure everything is appropriately filled. Any needs you need for your pet I am happy to accommodate.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’ve owned four amazing dogs myself—a loyal German Shepherd, a sweet rescue, a playful Pomsky, and an energetic Australian Shepherd—which has given me valuable hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. Each dog taught me how to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I treat every dog like family. My years of experience, both personally and professionally, make me a reliable and caring choice for pet sitting and dog walking I’m currently attending classes at Schoolcraft College, but I am available to care for pets Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I’m flexible within these hours and happy to accommodate your needs! Whenever I take care of someone’s pet—whether it’s just for a few hours or several days—I always treat both the animals and their home with the highest level of care and respect. I understand that pets are beloved members of the family, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I also know how important it is to maintain a clean, respectful presence in someone else’s home, so I’m always mindful of following any house rules and leaving things just as I found them. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I truly value, and I strive to create a positive, dependable experience every time.


About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats ever since I was 12. It ranges from friends, family members as well as neighbors. I love animals so much they deserve to be treated with so much love. I do work full time at Bogie Lake Greenhouse but they are super flexible and I can come before, during lunch and after work if I’m scheduled that day. I’m super reliable:) I have a fenced in yard and if I am at your place I will make sure they are safe and I will follow your instructions and I would contact you if anything I’m unsure of.

“Super happy with Olivia! I am a nervous mom since my dog has only been looked after once before. Olivia was kind enough for my endless texts about the possible gremlin on the end of the leash, otherwise known as my sweet baby. Olivia was kind, respectful, on time, communicative and took great care of my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors since I was a 16 years old. I have experience with older dogs and aggressive dogs. I like to stick to the routines the dog is used to keep your dog, happy and healthy. I grew up with dogs and owned and trained two Australian Cattle dogs. I strive to meet the unique needs of each pet. I am getting back into the workforce after a leave of absence to help with family health problems. I currently have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to work mornings, afternoons and evenings, depending on your needs. I will take your dog on walks, play with them and feed them and make sure they get lots of love. I do not take dogs into my home, as my dog likes being the only dog, but will happily pet sit or walk your dog or dogs.

About: I have been a Licensed Veterinary Nurse for 15+ years. I haves worked at emergency vet hospitals, and small animal hospitals. I have been Fear Free Certified, which is low stress handling. I have experience giving medications, and have worked with diabetic pets. I would be happy to have the opportunity to care for your pet! If you have ever had a hard time finding boarding because of a pets medical needs, please contact me! My school attending kids are now 5 and 7 and love animals as well. I am home most of the day, (weekdays and weekends) and have reliable transportation. We have 1 small dog (Boston terrier) and 2 cats at our home. I can board a few dogs at my house, which has a large fenced in back yard. Or I can visit your home to care for your pet if that is where they are the most comfortable. I am happy to visit before bed, during the day, and in the mornings, but I don’t stay at other houses overnight. I know where all the closest emergency animal hospitals are in the area. I do require a current rabies vaccine on your dog or cat. If boarding at my home, we can discuss recommended vaccines for your pet. All of my pets are on a monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication year round. Yours should be too!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’ve truly grown up with dogs — not just as pets, but as family. Since I was 4 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from a new puppy full of energy, to a pitbull mix who needed gentle guidance, to a sweet but formerly abused rescue who taught me the power of patience and trust. I’ve been hands-on for training sessions, vet visits, and every late-night potty break in between. I don’t just love dogs — I understand them. That experience helps me care for your pup with confidence, compassion, and attention to their unique needs. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine right now. I’m home for the summer with no other obligations, which means I have full availability throughout the week and weekends. I can be super flexible with timing, respond quickly to messages, and give each pet my full attention—whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. In my home, I make sure dogs feel safe, entertained, and loved. I have a large backyard with long secure leashes that staple into the ground so pups can explore and enjoy the outdoors safely. For playful dogs or puppies, I also have sand and water available, as I live on the lake, to splash around in and keep cool on hot days. Inside, I can easily crate dogs if needed, and I already have food and water bowls ready to go if wanted! Whether it’s boarding, walking, or drop-in care, I keep their routine consistent, give them lots of attention, and make sure they’re always comfortable and happy.

About: I am ready to retire and looking to share some love with your pup or kitty! I know how important it is to go to work knowing that your fur baby is going to be taken care of and get the care that they need. I want to give you that piece of mind! I love walking, petting and cuddling, whatever your baby needs. I am about to retire so I will have plenty of time during the week when you're at work or on the weekends if you need to get away. When your fur baby comes to visit they'll be treated like one of the family. I have a 4-year-old visla mix that would be happy to play with your energetic pup. Your couch potato is welcome to join us for cuddles too! All energy levels welcomed. In your home, your rules. Want them off the furniture, cuddled or crated? No problem! A walk in the neighborhood? I'm good with that as well. Just let me know what you need.

About: I'm a huge animal lover!! I have taken care of friends and family members dogs in the past and when they are gone on vacations or at work. Dog and Cats have always seemed to be drawn to me, love my energy and love to play with me! I haven't ever had a Dog or Cat myself personally but I will always make sure I treat your Pets just as if they were my very own! Im home most of the time so you can also guarantee that your pet will have all the time and attention he or she needs. For walking, playing and treats!! And all that your Pets loves to do I will keep them happy and energetic while you away for just a few hours or the whole day! It's up to you!

“Robin takes great care of my dog! I appreciate getting pictures o from her walks and just knowing someone that cares about her is with her during the day for a while.”


About: I have lots of experience with children and animals alike, and I have volunteered for a large animal shelter every fall for 3 year now. I have also been an in house, overnight sitter for a client before. I am very open with my communication, and would love to help you and your furry family members have a wonderful Rover experience! I work full time as an elementary teacher, but on free days I am available to work for any animals and owners that need care! I come to your home to ensure a safe, comfortable, and known environment for your animals. I am also a very clean person, so no messes will be there when I leave!

About: We provide a loving family experience. We only allow one family of dogs at a time. School drop off and pick up, dogs coming for the ride. Outdoor sports and play dates, sitting on the sideline and extra pets. We are very selective with the dogs we welcome into our home. This is because we truly want to provide a loving, caring, home away from home. The reality is, most dogs will feel some level of anxiety if there are big storms, fireworks or being without their true pack leaders. This is where we step in, using our tested methods of providing extra love, care, pets and kind words. Getting out of the house as much as possible. Truly proving a physically and emotionally enriching experience. We like to think of their stay as, “Staying at Grandpa home”. Spoiled with love and care, can sit on the furniture, given lots of treats (within guidelines provided and mostly training related) and spending as much time as possible in the backyard nature preserve. We expect all house guests to be responsibly clean, groomed and nails trimmed. Please have your dogs professionally cleaned within a week of their stay with us. One family member works from home, providing constant care and attention. We can fit almost any pick up-drop off and bathroom schedule. We walk at least 3 times a day, 7 days a week. Aim for 1.5 hours daily. Longer if weather and dog are permitting. We use a 30’ long leash when our dog friends are chilling in the backyard. Have a nice sized home and yard that backs up to a nature preserve. It’s full of animals, smells and sounds that every dog will enjoy. One of our favorite activities is to spot deer, turkey or rabbits on the property. Once the larger animals have moved on. To quickly follow their path into the woods. No matter the breed, dogs love the fresh scent trail. It’s truly an enriching experience they look forward to every time we go outside. We will accept dogs who are “not friendly” with other dogs or animals who suffer for anxiety disorders on a case by case basis, mandatory meet and greet, and at an additional charge.

About: Not once in my life have I not had a pet in the house. Currently I have a 8 year old yorkie & a 2 year old lab mix. My dogs are my world! No matter the size/breed/age, I can promise you that I will treat your dog as my own! I am currently only working part time so I will spend most days with your loving pets! I love to go on multiple walks per day to get out of the house & even go to the park if owner of pet says it’s okay! I have 2 of the sweetest dogs that love to cuddle, play, and go to the park! They would be ecstatic to meet new friends!

She stays with them when we are out of town and it truly allows us to have a relaxing time away knowing they are well cared for. At different times our pets have had to be on medication and she ensured they received all their doses to keep them on track. We always appreciate the love she gives to our pets!”

Chloe C.
“Chloe has a genuine love for both of our two (2) cats (Bam-Bam and Sadie) as well as Terry, our small Yorkie. Chloe seems to always go the extra mile. She's happy to provide the cats with extra affection, as they tend to get the loneliest when we have to leave town. Chloe remains in contact with daily updates and photos (or more frequently, if we request). These updates give us peace of mind, while we're away. Having found someone as trustworthy and responsible as Chloe, has made it easier for us to vacation and/or travel for work, knowing our pets are well cared for. She's been a true blessing.”


Kathy M.
“There are very few people in the world I’d trust with my two dogs. My Great Dane, especially, can be a handful. Kathy is so good with her, so patient and loving. The first person I think of when I need help with my dogs is Kathy. I’ve never met someone more in tune with nature and animals. She has a calmness about her that puts animals at ease. She also has the kind of energy that turns my dogs into wiggly butts. The moment they hear her voice their tails start wagging. I couldn’t recommend a better person to care for your furry best friend.”
