Maddi let our our 3 dogs when I had to work late. She was prompt even with my short notice asking her availability. She let them out and took pictures of them throughout her time and was communicative. We would trust Maddi with our pups time and time again! 10 out of 10!

Mary Kay was amazing with our Bernedoodle! She is very responsible and great with dogs. Our dog was very excited to see her to go on a walk and play. She also updated us and sent pics and videos after each visit. We were very happy with Mary Kay's services and would love to use her again.

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! I will absolutely ask Robyn to watch my babies again. She picked up my emergency job and was at my house in an hour at 9pm. And it was past her bedtime!!! My original pet sitter was a no call/no show and we were already out of town for a medical appointment. She did a FANTASTIC job with my cats. Normally I like to meet and talk with my pet sitters before having them come for the 1st time but this time she was able to do everything just as if I had been there and it was flawless. Actually one of the 1st times we’ve walked in our house and there’s not been anything wrong. I will without a doubt ask Robyn to come back again. But this time with significant amounts of notice … less than an hr she earns a place in my heart for stepping in when it could have been a serious situation I am just so grateful.

Lauren was absolutely wonderful! It was my first time working with Rover, and was very nervous leaving my cat with a stranger for the first time, but Lauren soothed all my fears. She kept in touch with every visit, and sent me ample photos and videos to hold me over until I get home to my little man. Lauren was also available on a dime — my previous sitter had to cancel last minute and Lauren was able to come over with 30 minutes notice and started watching him the next day.

I literally could not be happier with Carissa— not only did she take amazing care of Ollie but she kept my plants alive during some wildly hot days while I was out of town. She dealt with my 5000 questions about how things were going and sent pictures to make me feel at ease. I would give her more stars if I could. I will definitely be using her again in the future

Merritt was awesome!! Super patient with my anxious boy and went way above and beyond in every way. This was my first time having someone other than family watch him and I was amazed at how comfortable I ended up being with Merritt as well as my dog Alaska, he loved her!

Amazing!! Katie is a very caring and reliable pet sitter. I have an older timid pit bull and Katie is absolutely great with her. She is attentive to her medical needs and always keeps me updated. I never have to worry about my dog when she is with her. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

About: I would love to become your pet sitter and walker. I love animals and have been volunteering at DACC(Detroit Animal Care and Control) since I was 13 years old. I have 2 dogs A American Bully and A pit bull I also have 4 cats. I enjoy working with animals and training them. I currently have a 5 month old so I am not working I am looking for a good way to not take my whole day away from my baby and also make money. I am available all times during the week. I will house sit if needed but I do not bring animals to my home being that I have a newborn and I am aware all dogs are not house trained or friendly with cats.

Tyler was absolutely amazing! She provided exceptional care for our dog Ollie. Our trip was a bit last-minute, so Tyler’s communication and responsiveness was extra helpful and made us feel at ease knowing our boy was in such caring and responsible hands. She kept us updated regularly and even shared adorable photos. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

Rachel has helped take care of my pups (all 7 of them!) for close to a decade now, and has done a phenomenal job every time. She is the kindest, most caring, sweetest, hardest working, most animal loving pet sitter anyone could hope to find, and will always put your pet’s health and wellbeing first and foremost in every decision she makes. Our dogs LOVE going to see their “2nd mother”, as they’re always treated as members of the family every time she takes care of them.

Rachel has watched my dog, Buddy, numerous times in the past 7 years, most notably for 6 months when I had surgery and could not take him out. She treated him the same as her own dog. I would have had to give him up, if not for her. I plan to have him stay with her when I go to Tennessee for a wedding in October. I know he will get the best of care.

My husband and I have three cats that don't really like people. When we returned from our vacations, they hid for the next few days thinking a pet sitter was coming in the house when we came to the door. Taking trips became stressful for us knowing they were also stressed. I have worked with Connor for the past two years. When my pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled last year, Connor stepped in to cat sit at the last minute. When we returned from our trip, it was the first time my 3 cats didn't hide when we got home. He has been my cat sitter ever since! Connor is very flexible, dependable, extremely compassionate, and honest. He sends me text messages with updates and photos of my cats daily. We feed dry food and canned food and use glass dishes to reduce waste. He has no problem with the extra steps of washing their dishes. During one visit, one of the kitties vomited so he notified me in case it was a medical issue and also cleaned it up. He goes above and beyond for his clients and our furry friends/family members. We have not needed an overnight visit, but I would trust him to stay at my house. He volunteered at the animal shelter and has a very spoiled cat and gecko of his own. He makes it easier for us to travel having the piece of mind our pets are in excellent care!
