About: My husband and I always had a pack of rescues. Large, small, sick, old. We had no children so our pets were our children. My husband passed away and I recently just lost my last fur baby. I want to travel a bit so pet sitting is going to be my substitute for a while. I love cats but unfortunately I'm highly allergic. I currently work remotely but will be retiring shortly. My daily routine is wide open. I've always had one or more dogs so my routine has always been focused on their care. My last 3 were older boys with medical conditions so my life was focused on their care. I can accommodate crates or not, whatever your babies need. I do not have a fenced in yard so when they go outside they will always be on a leash.
“Sidney was great. She sent updates a few times and pictures which was so appreciated. Maggie was a bit Leary about the hardwood floors someone’s put down rugs. She was an excellent sitter and highly recommend”
“Sandra took good care of Jasmine for 2 nights. Jasmine was very happy and they had fun together. I appreciated the extra time we needed when the snow delayed our pickup time.”
“Britnie takes very good care of my puppy. He loves going to her house! She’s detail oriented, has a routine with the dogs, and is very professional. She’s the only person I will leave my dog with! I never have to worry and I trust her.”
“Miranda watched our two huskies again and they had a blast! She sent us pics of them and made sure they were taken care of and definitely were worn out by the time they got home. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Cynthia was heaven sent! She not only came to the rescue with a puppy last minute, but she also was wonderful the we ran late in traffic to pick our puppy up! I highly recommend her. She treated our little pup like her very own, providing reassuring pictures during our absence, and assuring us that our little puppy was doing fine via texts. God sent!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.”
“Sheri was fantastic! Lucy was treated like her own dog. She was spoiled and loved and Lucy got along really well with Sheri's dog. I know Lucy is going to miss being at Sheri's house. I'll definitely use her again would highly recommend her to anyone needing excellent care for your dog.”
“We left our Georgie with Lisa for a week while we were out of town. Her communication was great and George seemed to enjoy himself! She sent updates and photos of him daily. We will be leaving George with Lisa again in the future 😊”
“Amanda was wonderful with our older dog, Bogey. I appreciate the flexibility in us coming back early and all the updates with photos! Bogey slept like a rock when he got home so we know he had a great time!”
“Judith took care of our 1yr old dashound. She was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! She sent pictures and videos the whole time we were gone. I will be using her wonderful tenderness towards watching our dog again. 10 stars deserved!!!!”
“Absolutely ecstatic with the care my fur baby received from Kate. Impressive was her professionalism, compassion and communications during my pet’s stay. I will be requesting to leave my pet with her in the future.”
“Always a perfect stay for our older lab. Kristen is incredibly attentive and communicative which is why we continue to come back to her at a every opportunity we can. Thanks, Kristen!”
About: I have spent years fostering dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities—from playful, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I genuinely love caring for animals and take pride in always providing a safe, responsible, and structured environment where they feel comfortable, understood, loved, and cared for. My career in Human Resources is grounded in trust, clear communication, and professionalism—qualities that naturally carry into the care I provide for every pet. I provide exclusive care for one family booking at a time, with no overlapping stays. This allows me to give each dog a personalized experience in a calm & structured environment tailored just to them. During warmer months, dogs who enjoy outings may go on golf cart rides for pup cups, beach visits, concerts in the park, and other outdoor adventures—with owner approval. For dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace, I also offer a peaceful environment with quiet time, nature walks, and restful downtime. Every stay is adjusted to match your dog’s personality and comfort level. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority. I provide consistent supervision, lots of attention, and a secure environment where they can feel at ease. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing and stay connected throughout their stay. 🐾📸 Boarding: I only accept one client booking at a time. I do not board dogs from multiple households simultaneously. Dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. For everyone’s safety, up-to-date vaccination records are required. Your dog’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m here to make your dog’s stay smooth, fun, and comfortable. As both a dog owner and someone who has trusted others to care for my own dog, I’m happy to tailor care, send updates, and keep you connected. When your dog stays with me, it’s more than boarding—it’s a personalized, safe, and loving experience while you’re away. ❤️ During weekdays (Monday–Friday), while I’m at the office, dogs enjoy a structured and comfortable routine. Each morning begins with an hour of playtime, either outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. From 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, they relax in their own separate, private room, providing a calm and secure space just for them. Midday includes supervised outdoor play and exercise, followed by a rest period from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM back in their private room. I monitor each dog throughout the day using an indoor camera to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. Outside of these hours, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play, engaging games, mentally stimulating activities, and special treats. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Visiting pups can roam freely, explore multiple toy bins, enjoy tasty treats (lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, or beef), lounge on the couch for snuggles, or watch a movie with me. Supervised outdoor fun is a big part of the day too—dogs can run in the backyard, play fetch with a ball, cool off in a splash pool, or chase water from a sprinkler. Every stay is packed with love, exercise, and adventures. To keep all current and future furry guests safe and healthy, proof of up-to-date vaccinations is required. Thank you for helping me protect everyone.
“Our family is so grateful to have found Kellie to watch our dog. He was well cared for and we enjoyed the daily pic Kellie sent us while away on vacation. It is reassuring to know our dog has a safe and loving place to stay when needed. Thank you, Kellie!”
“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Mikayla took care of our dog while we took a long weekend vacation. She was awesome! She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent photos and videos of him. Our dog seems to be getting some anxiety with his age and can be whiny in unfamiliar locations/situations and we appreciate her handling him so well.”

“Many thanks to Gabby, once again! Our 2 middle/upper-aged cats love her visits! Even our scaredy-cat comes out of hiding when she hears Gabby's voice. Gabby is great with getting back to us quickly & letting us know how her visit went. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was great! I have 2 cats and neither are a huge fan of strangers. One needs meds twice a day and the other we recently adopted likes to hide. Samantha was able to make sure my cat who needs meds got her meds and she even was able to pet her and give her some attention, which is very hard to do! My other cat hid the entire time (to be expected) but Samantha kept me updated and made sure he was still eating and using the litter box. Overall a great experience and I would book again!”
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. She’s reliable and extremely professional. She took care of my cat during a snowstorm, such dedication. If there was 10 stars, I would give it to her. Thank you again, Lisa.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly reliable and on time every single day. We looked forward to her Rover reports and the pictures she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for more than 35 years and have owned several dogs throughout my life. I currently have a dog named Henry, who is a beloved member of my family. Living with and caring for dogs over the years have taught me. how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or patient care while you're away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attention I give to my own. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own dog, Henry, every day, so walks, feeding, playtime, and attention are built into my schedule. As a dog lover, I am always available to care for pets, provide a reliable service, companionship, exercise, and plenty of love for the pets I look after. As a part time teacher with summers off, I are very flexible! When caring for pets in a client's home, we follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. We provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. We also respect our clients' homes, keep them tidy, and provide updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Kayla was great with Biscuit!! She provided plenty of pictures and updates. Biscuit is a kitten so he requires playtime and Kayla went the extra mile playing with him. You could tell she just loves cats”

About: I’ve always been a big cat person and have taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have four cats of my own, and care for them every day, so managing a multi-cat household is second nature to me. I love them like my own children and treat every cat I care for with the same patience and attention. I frequently watch my friends’ cats while they’re away, including checking in to feed them, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and spend time playing or keeping them company. I understand how important it is for cats to stick to their normal routines, especially in their own home, and I always let cats set the pace for interaction. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Whether your cat is social, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel respected and cared for while you’re away. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I’m always happy to meet you and your cat beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable!
“Jamie was such a huge help this week! She was super sweet with my animals, always on time, responsive to messages, and she knew how to handle my very high energy pitbull. Would def recommend her and request her again!!”
“Amanda provides great care, she is conscientious and concerned with knowing details about pets and care. She is great with communicating and follow up, very reliable. Fortunate to have her support us with care of our fur family!”
“Courtney was great and we will be definitely using her again when we go out of town. She sent great pictures and updates while we were gone so I knew my kitties were okay. She must be some kind of cat whisperer too...we've never had a sitter that could pet all three cats in her first visit! They loved her!!! ?”
“Christina did an outstanding job. Our two kitties loved her. She was very thorough and we felt at ease on vacation knowing they were being cared for and loved as if they were her own pets. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: As a cat owner myself I have taken care of them for years, along with having rescued some. Families and friends have asked me to pet sit for them when gone whether that’s spending time with them, feeding them, etc. of all sizes, ages, genders. I love cats and would love to help take care of yours!

About: ONLY SIT UP TO 25 lbs... Hello, I'm Cynthia, a true animal lover; I have owned many dogs & cats, they're my passion and bring me much joy. I will care for your babies like they're my own. I will provide a home away from home. I live in home in Chesterfield (23 Mile & Sugarbush/Seaden) with a beautiful fenced yard; only dogs up to 25 lbs. I often sit 1-4 dogs at a time; so your pet must be able to get along with other dogs. I will take your pets on daily walks and supervise them outside frequently to potty. I don’t use crates unless the owner requests; and the babies sleep with me! For dogs that might be a bit nervous or crabby away from home, I use lavender and chamomile oils to sooth their nerves. I am retired and have lived in the Macomb County area for 18 years. I have excellent personal and business references. My goal is to love and enjoy your animals and provide them with the best possible and safest environment. I love to take photos & will send lots of pics of your babies while you’re gone. Oh, and book early, I fill up quickly, and please note the cancellation policy. I look forward to hearing from you! Cynthia I'm retired and home quite a bit, outside of normal activities, such as shopping, occasional dining out, etc. The dogs are very happy in my home. I have a totally privacy fenced yard, the dogs love to run around, sniff all over the place, and my home has safety gates on front and side doors.
About: I’ve done a lot of puppy raising and training. I have had 6 labs that I have raised and trained from 6 weeks old on. I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication and helping them to get around and be comfortable. I would love to watch your new puppy while you are away for the day or longer. I can help with basic training socialization. I am occasionally subbing for special education at a school at the corner of my street. If I happen to get called into sub I am able to come home at lunch only leaving the dogs for a few hours at a time. I have a 5 year old yellow Labrador that is very friendly and gets along very well with other dogs. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard—and a built-in companion! Dogs I welcome into our home are treated like part of the family, just like our own beloved fur baby. I also have a crate available, which our dog uses freely whenever she wants a cozy spot to relax.
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was 10 years old. I’ve had small pets of my own, two dogs (a pit bull and a corgi) and my roommate owns two cats, as well. I have no allergies and have a smoke free home! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I’m just looking to keep some animals company this summer while on break! I’m not working in the summer, so I have a lot of time to stop in and care for animals or go for walks. I can do weekdays and weekends pretty much all times of the day. I live in a new build home and subdivision, so when I walk my dog it has to be on a leash. I am happy to leash walk, harness walk, or crate animals.
“Amanda has been awesome for my sweet doggy Shiloh! She’s so flexible with scheduling which I absolutely love, updates with pictures daily of your fur baby playing or enjoying a walk! My Shiloh girl is very energetic and comes home at the end of the day EXHAUSTED from playing all day which was never the case before day care. We’re thankful for Amanda!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life & will do anything to make you’re fur baby have the best time with me!! Im the biggest animal lover 💛 I am currently self employed so I make my own schedule & I would be able to be available whenever you’re pup/cat needs me ☺️ Will take potty breaks, make sure they have water, food if requested, I will clean up after them after they use the bathroom and play with them and love them♥️

Every pup leaves happy—tail wagging and belly full!

“Maddie A. is an outstanding pet sitter. She provided exceptional care for Percy while I was away at a concert, keeping me updated with regular check-ins throughout the stay. She was incredibly professional, and it was clear that Percy was in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Lauren is great. I had already booked Lauren to come on a specific day where both my husband and I work long hours. On this day, my chronic illness appeared which sometimes keeps me bedridden so Lauren kept the appointment anyway and walked Mabel. I felt such relief because I feel guilty about not giving Mabel the outdoor time and exercise that she needs when I become ill. Lauren is so dependable and Mabel clearly enjoys her.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, as well as fish. I have most experience with large bully breeds. I had a black Labrador/Chow mix and English Mastiff growing up. I unfortunately recently lost my 13yr old American Bulldog in November of 2023, and 10 yr old Pitbull in May 2024 to cancer. We had both girls since they were pups so it was an huge devastation to our family. We currently have our 10 yr old Calico cat that was raised with them since a kitten. I have dog sat for friends and family as well in the past. I have experience giving oral medications and supplements if needed. I know how hard it is to work full-time and still have time to give the love and attention to your dogs that you want for them. I know many people have a hard time trusting doggy daycare with other strange dogs and the little one on one time they receive with handlers. I can give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is being well taken care of and receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I currently work part time from home. I am usually available Monday - Thursday after 2pm, and open availability on the weekends depending on my son’s sports schedule or vacations planned. Your pets will receive a lot of attention and love along with any necessary needs. I am in good physical condition and can lift or handle strong, heavy dogs as well.

About: I had a family beagle for 14 years that I helped care for. I have also dog sat for about 4 different people, I am the go to dog sitter in my family. I do not work because I am a full time student. I think this would be a great side hustle that is something I love doing. I would do drop in, overnight visits, and dog walks. I will follow the exact instructions that is asked of me. I am a detailed person and I would love the hear about you and your relationship with your dogs
About: I have dealt with many cats in my life, I have my own cat of 8 years who I raised my self, I am also good with dogs, even though I’ve only owned one, I took good care of her! I have school and work, but my work sadly doesn’t give me much hours at the moment, so I’m looking for a little extra work, and this seems like a great way to help my community as well! I’d say I am a pretty reliable person, I will most likely clean your house while house sitting if you are comfortable with it! and I will treat your animal like they are my own!
About: Although I've never owned a dog, I have watched plenty for my friends and family. I love caring for dogs because there is never a dull moment. I'm a big walker, and I love when I dog sit and get some company on my walks. I am currently a full time student, with most of my classes being in the late afternoon/ early evening. With that being said, most mornings I am available. Cats don't require quite the same amount of attention as dogs, so I can always stop in to check on them before and after my class during the evening if needed. I treat every home I care for — including my own — like a safe, calm space for pets. At my place, my four cats have a predictable routine with plenty of food, water, litter boxes, and quiet spaces to retreat to. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure everyone is comfortable, calm, and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect the environment they’re used to. I keep their space tidy, maintain their usual routines, and ensure they have everything they need to feel safe — whether that’s food, water, clean litter boxes, or quiet corners to relax. I also observe interactions and personalities, adjusting my approach to match each pet’s comfort level. Updates and photos are part of my care so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and secure.
“Bony was amazing!! I typically take my own dog for a walk every single day, she craves it! It’s honestly been too cold so we skipped a couple of days and I found myself in a pickle. So at the VERY last minute I messaged Bony and she saved us both!!! She was amazing, accommodating and I would’ve never guessed I was her first client as I found out right before she left. She showed up on time which was a blessing as my schedule was already super tight. I’m definitely getting ahold of Bony again very soon!!!”

I like work with your schedule, whether it includes maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, and most importantly, offering companionship. Safety is another very important piece that I uphold as a sitter!
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was 10 years old. I’ve had small pets of my own, two dogs (a pit bull and a corgi) and my roommate owns two cats, as well. I have no allergies and have a smoke free home! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I’m just looking to keep some animals company this summer while on break! I’m not working in the summer, so I have a lot of time to stop in and care for animals or go for walks. I can do weekdays and weekends pretty much all times of the day. I live in a new build home and subdivision, so when I walk my dog it has to be on a leash. I am happy to leash walk, harness walk, or crate animals.
“Courtney has been the best dog walker I’ve found! After a few iffy experiences on Rover with my nervous pup, it’s been such a relief to find someone so patient, understanding, and that communicates well!”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter for over 4 years and foster dogs as well. Pet care is my part time job. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work around your schedule so your dog can have the best care. I will care for your pet as if they were my very own. They will get the best treatment and stay safe while having a blast.

About: I have spent years fostering dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities—from playful, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I genuinely love caring for animals and take pride in always providing a safe, responsible, and structured environment where they feel comfortable, understood, loved, and cared for. My career in Human Resources is grounded in trust, clear communication, and professionalism—qualities that naturally carry into the care I provide for every pet. I provide exclusive care for one family booking at a time, with no overlapping stays. This allows me to give each dog a personalized experience in a calm & structured environment tailored just to them. During warmer months, dogs who enjoy outings may go on golf cart rides for pup cups, beach visits, concerts in the park, and other outdoor adventures—with owner approval. For dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace, I also offer a peaceful environment with quiet time, nature walks, and restful downtime. Every stay is adjusted to match your dog’s personality and comfort level. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority. I provide consistent supervision, lots of attention, and a secure environment where they can feel at ease. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing and stay connected throughout their stay. 🐾📸 Boarding: I only accept one client booking at a time. I do not board dogs from multiple households simultaneously. Dogs receive plenty of outdoor time, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. For everyone’s safety, up-to-date vaccination records are required. Your dog’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m here to make your dog’s stay smooth, fun, and comfortable. As both a dog owner and someone who has trusted others to care for my own dog, I’m happy to tailor care, send updates, and keep you connected. When your dog stays with me, it’s more than boarding—it’s a personalized, safe, and loving experience while you’re away. ❤️ During weekdays (Monday–Friday), while I’m at the office, dogs enjoy a structured and comfortable routine. Each morning begins with an hour of playtime, either outdoors or indoors depending on the weather. From 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, they relax in their own separate, private room, providing a calm and secure space just for them. Midday includes supervised outdoor play and exercise, followed by a rest period from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM back in their private room. I monitor each dog throughout the day using an indoor camera to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. Outside of these hours, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play, engaging games, mentally stimulating activities, and special treats. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Visiting pups can roam freely, explore multiple toy bins, enjoy tasty treats (lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, or beef), lounge on the couch for snuggles, or watch a movie with me. Supervised outdoor fun is a big part of the day too—dogs can run in the backyard, play fetch with a ball, cool off in a splash pool, or chase water from a sprinkler. Every stay is packed with love, exercise, and adventures. To keep all current and future furry guests safe and healthy, proof of up-to-date vaccinations is required. Thank you for helping me protect everyone.
“Our family is so grateful to have found Kellie to watch our dog. He was well cared for and we enjoyed the daily pic Kellie sent us while away on vacation. It is reassuring to know our dog has a safe and loving place to stay when needed. Thank you, Kellie!”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Mikayla took care of our dog while we took a long weekend vacation. She was awesome! She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent photos and videos of him. Our dog seems to be getting some anxiety with his age and can be whiny in unfamiliar locations/situations and we appreciate her handling him so well.”
“Laura is amazing! Period! We left our dog with her while traveling over the holiday and could not have been more comfortable having him in her family's care. She treated our boy like he was a member of the family. He has never relaxed into a new place as quickly as he did in her home. We 100% will book with Laura every time we are in need of someone to watch our dog b/c the peace of mind knowing he was being treated so well was awesome.”
“Deena is a great care taker and did a marvelous job with my Morgan. She asked great questions and clearly connected with her and was good about providing updates and pictures.”
“Monica is a perfect for boarding or watching your fur baby! She administers simple meds and sends photo updates. We left our fur baby with her for 16 days and was able to do that feeling confident that Mazie was getting care just like she would at home. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our Mazie Mae! We will definitely be rebooking soon!”
