About: I used work at a doggy daycare and have experience handling dogs of every size from itty bitty to huge! I had my own dog (rest in peace Sadie 💞) and have volunteered on and off at pet shelters for most of my life, caring for cats and dogs alike. I'm a huge dog lover that will give your fur baby the best day ever, full of love and cuddles! I love long hikes and would love to tire out your pup so you can spend more quality cuddle time! I currently am in school 7am-2pm M-F with occasional Fridays off. Please contact me to see how I can accomodate for your pet in my schedule! 💞 I have a fenced yard. I live in downtown Ferndale that has amazing parks, I frequent many nature areas in the surrounding area and am very familiar with them, and I can walk for hours at a time if needed! Everyone in my household loves dogs with a passion so your furry baby will never feel alone! If your dog likes car rides, I can take them on car rides as well!

Amanda was great! She sent lots of pictures and made sure my two cats (including a very anxious one) were well taken care of while I was out of town for work! She also left my apartment super clean which was so nice to come back to!

I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.

Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!

Audrey was a lifesaver as I needed to find someone last minute to drop-in on Henry a few nights this week. I could tell he would be in good hands as soon as we met. Henry took to her immediately. Could not recommend her more!

Rachel is absolutely the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. Her timing was prompt, her communication was fantastic, and she went over and above on multiple occasions, including gracefully working with our oldest dog who had been scared by fireworks, making sure all of our pups' needs were met. We can't thank her enough!

About: I have grown up loving and caring for dogs of my own as well as others. I have always been the person people always call when they have some kind of animal emergency. I absolutely love animals and know a lot about taking care of them and many different types. They will get lots of attention and quality care from me. I will spoil your baby as much as you will let me! I can administer any medication necessary. My dog takes pain meds twice a day so we are already on a medication routine. I have a flexible schedule so I can meet most needs. I keep in contact with you asap if there are any changes that are needed I live in a charming small house in the corner of Ferndale and a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is about 97% privacy fence. There’s one little corner where my dog can talk to the dog in back through a chain-link fence. Lots of shade and grass

About: I had a wonderful dog named Miles who passed in 2021. He was my first experience with my own animal friend and it was one of the best experiences of my life. He needed a lot of care in his last couple of years (he died when he was 16) as he had arthritis and other age related issues that required a lot of love and patience. Currently I have a cat named Alice who is a sweet orange cat with lots of personality. I look forward to making some new animal friends! I currently work full time two miles from my house so I am able to come home for a long lunch break when needed. For over night stays a Friday through Sunday would work best for me so that I can provide lots of attention to your pet. I care for my cat by providing her with a stimulating environment. Lots of pets, lots of love, and attention. I would do the same for your beloved animal friend.

About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a little kid, and grew up with a mom as a vet, so a love of animals and concern for their well-being is deep in my bones. I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for three years, fostered cats and dogs for four years, and currently have two cats of my own. I love caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and exotics of all ages. :) I work full time, so I can drop in early in the morning or evenings. Weekends are typically open and more flexible. I have a car and can come to you. I am happy to care for your fur friend in your home. I like to meet them ahead to build trust and will go all-in on playtime. Let m know if you need plants watered too!

University District, Detroit, MI, 48221

About: In a fast paced environment it is easy to overlook our place in the world as animals. Being in close contact with other beings can create connectedness and a sense of place in nature. Simple tasks like dog walking may seem beneath most people, but I see it as an act graciousness and a chance to connect to other beings. As a walker or sitter my goal is to consciously occupy space with your pet. This, for me, means accommodating and changing as situations seem fit. I would also like to stay conscious of any owners wishes and feelings regarding the service I may provide and remember that it is only a service if it works to make their and their pets experience more comfortable.

Susan was amazing with my 3 small dogs, especially my little boy Pom who is very skiddish! She followed all my instructions to a "T" and I'm a picky doggie mama lol! She gave all my pups lots of love and attention, too. They really loved her and I have lots of cute pics & videos she sent me to prove it! I would definitely hire Susan again to watch our pups (in our home)!

Amanda was referred to me by a neighbor who spoke very highly of her. I was so worried about leaving my cats and felt so much relief after being given the referral, instead of using a neighbor to help me. She followed my directions and I never worried the entire time I was gone as I knew everything was being taken care of. My cats are very fearful of strangers in the house and I want them to get to know her so I can feel comfortable when I leave on trips and they no longer are afraid. I will continue to use her going forward. She sent pictures and it looked like they would make an appearance when she was here so hopefully, that will get better each time.

First time user of Rover. I went out of the country for two weeks and my normal dog sitter fell thru last minute. I went and used Rover after many people recommending. I messaged a few sitters and sally was the first to respond. I cant begin to express how happy I was with her services and providing a great experience for my dog and cat. She was very transparent, provided multiple updates and was very timely with all her visits during the two weeks I was gone. I booked her for 3x a day for two weeks and showed up with them all on time. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure!
