Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ann Arbor
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ann Arbor
“What a great experience! It was awesome traveling knowing I could trust Darcy and Daniel with my beloved boy. They gave him warm attention, thoughtful care during subzero temps, and kept me updated. My dog met them as strangers and left as friends. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“This an amazing family. My dog was so well cared for and loved. They sent me many pictures of what she was doing as it was so difficult to not have her with me. They deserve 10 stars!!!!!”
“Ariana is a perfect dog sitter. Her residence is fenced in and her dog Yogi 🐾 🐕🦺 is so friendly. My Pfeifer had a blast and was worn out from all the play time. She slept all the way home and most of the remaining day. Will use Ariana again in a heartbeat.”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“We feel like our dog got a mini-vacation when she stayed with Paula! She went above and beyond to take our dog to some fun places and show her a great time while we were away. The pictures and video she sent regularly reassured us that our fur baby was is great hands. Highly recommended!!!”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”
“We have boarded our dog with Caroline a number of times and have always had a great experience. This time was notably exceptional. Our dog had an unexpected medical problem come up the day before a boarding stay. Caroline was so accommodating and happily tackled the complicated regimen prescribed by the vet. She takes great care of him, we trust her completely, and she will always be our first choice for boarding!”
“Tanu was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Kevin. She was so attentive, sent very frequent updates and pictures, and clearly is a big dog lover. We will without a doubt, be asking her to dog sit our dog in the future!”
“Mina did a fantastic job with Beau. His 4 night stay went very well and he had plenty of dog-friends to keep him company. Beau enjoyed the fenced back yard and walks. Mina does a great job of keeping us updated and sending pictures. Highly recommend!”
“This was Charlie’s fifth stay with Kelsey, and once again she was amazing! Charlie is always excited to see her and clearly feels right at home with her family. I really appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away, and I know he’s getting the best care. The pickup and drop-off service has also been a lifesaver with my unpredictable flight attendant schedule and last-minute work changes. It’s such a relief knowing Charlie is in great hands. I highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible sitter!”
“Karen is the first dog sitter I left my puppy with and it went great! She sent updates, pictures, and my dog was so happy! Thank you, Karen for a great first experience! We will be in touch next time Violet visits Ann Arbor with me 💜”
“Andrew was fantastic with our young German Shepherd! He was genuinely excited to care for him, took him on lots of walks and sent me daily updates. This was our dog Grim’s first time away from his home and family for an extended time and I was super nervous at first, but I felt so much better seeing how Grim was well cared for and enjoyed staying at Andrew’s house. I would highly recommend Andrew and would definitely book his services again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was such a wonderful host for our dog! They went on frequent walks and I received plenty of photo updates. Our booking was very last minute after our original plan for care fell through, and she was so flexible working with us. Highly recommend!”
“My pug Gonzo had a great time staying with Deaunna and her family! Deaunna is fantastic and makes a real effort to understand your dog’s needs and habits so they can have a comfortable stay. Thank you!!”

“Richard and Sasha did a good job taking care of my cat Doris! I was away for a week and they checked in on her and sent pictures of her. They even helped brush her hair, I think my cat would love it. And thanks for the help while I was away!”

“Fatima went above and beyond while caring for our cat. Her visit cards were always very thorough, she included great photos, and it was clear our cat loved having her around. Would rebook with Fatima in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve loved cats my whole life. I grew up with a family cat, cat sat for relatives and friends throughout the years, and have been a proud cat dad for the past three years. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re social and playful or shy and reserved. I’m patient, attentive, comfortable administering medications when needed, and happy to follow your cat’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a cat owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind when traveling. That’s why I make it a priority to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy, healthy, and well cared for. I’ll treat your cat with the same attention and respect that I want for my own.
About: What sets me apart is how attentive and calm I am with pets. As a medical student, I’m trained to notice small changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and to take safety seriously while still keeping things fun and relaxed. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and quirks, send thoughtful updates, and treat every animal like my own so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away! I’m especially great with senior pets and medically complex animals who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, and special instructions, and I always move at your pet’s pace. Currently working part time in (psychiatry) research and studying for our required national board exams. As such, I will have plenty of time for your fur family members! I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules, so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks, and I always keep pets secure and supervised. I pay close attention to body language and behavior and adjust care if a pet seems anxious, tired, or overstimulated. I keep homes clean and respectful, send regular updates and photos, and communicate right away if anything seems off. My goal is for pets to feel safe, calm, and cared for and for owners to feel completely confident while they’re away.
“Katharyn did an amazing job watching Salem while we were away for the weekend! She always sent us photos after every visit that were adorable and gave out cat plenty of play and care!”
“Lizz is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for watching our cats, I always know I’m coming home to happy babies and because of that I enjoy my vacation even more.”
“Wutt did a great job taking care of my cat. She sent me video and photo updates everyday. She arrived promptly for meal times and made sure to play with my cat to maintain her schedule.”
“Sara took great care of our kitten. She was thorough, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures. She was kind and caring and I would want her to check in on our kitten in the future.”
“Autumn took amazing care of my cat Ruby! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend her and would definitely have her take care of Ruby again!”
“Elayna did an excellent job caring for our cats while we travelled. She was responsible, easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond to ensure our kitties were happy and well cared for. Thanks Elayna!”
“Magnolia was amazing, I knew my cats would be in good care as soon as I met her. I came back from my trip to two well looked after cats and I will definitely rebook with Magnolia!”
About: I'm a regular volunteer at a cat café, and I'm a thoughtful, responsible and detail-oriented person. I'm always meeting cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I've had experience giving oral medications, eye drops and syringe feeding. I love getting to know new cats, and I care deeply about creating space for them to feel safe and relaxed. If your cat is on the shy side or needs a gentle, patient approach, we would be a great fit. You can always expect clear communication, including updates and photos as frequently as you need to feel comfortable.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ann Arbor
“Great dog sitter! Highly recommend if you are in need of someone in AA! Felt very comfortable trusting her with our maltipoo and she kept us updated throughout the day.”
“Kayden took our puppy for 9 hours with only an hours notice! We got frequent updates and several pictures of our puppy during her time at Daycare, which helped us know she was happy! Kayden knew just how to handle our anxious, 1st time visitor and make her feel at ease and keep her happy while we explored the town!”
“She did an amazing job with my dog Cassidy. She was truly an angel to take care of my sweet girl while we went to a concert! She was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely recommend her and use her again next time we're in New Haven!”
“Monica and Razvan are the best!! My pup, Oakley, is a bit shy and they were incredibly patient and kind. Soon enough he was running around like it was hit own home!! They asked helpful questions when we first met and it was evident that they really got to know him and his personality throughout his stay. Plus, he was super tired and happy when he came home. We can’t wait to book another stay!!!”
About: I am lifelong dog owner experienced with health needs, medication routines and rescue trauma care. Patient, reliable and deeply commited to loving and attentive care. I work from home from 8am to 5pm, so I’m able to provide regular visits for your pet in the mornings, as well as in the afternoons and evenings. I will keep a close eye on everything in the environment to make sure your pet feels safe and happy during your absence. I’ll keep you updated and send photos regularly.
“Allyssa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She asked thoughtful questions about my dog's needs during the meet and greet. Her communication and attention to detail about our unique situation made me feel like my dog was in great hands.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, animal care has always been my passion. I’m comfortable and experienced with pets of all kinds! I also have experience caring for pets with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I’m fully available anytime, and will work around your schedule! I try to be home as much as possible when I have a pet in my care, the longest I would be away is 2-3 hours. I have lots of walking room outdoors, not fenced. However my balcony is completely pet safe, fully fenced and covered, safe for all animals. I also have plenty of toys for any pet!
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for years and genuinely love caring for animals. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy, attentive, and patient. I’m especially attentive to dogs’ comfort levels, routines, energy, and emotional needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just consistency and calm energy, I adapt to what helps them feel safe and cared for. I have experience with: • Daily walks and exercise • Senior dog patience and slower-paced care • Administering routines and medications if needed • Dogs with anxiety or overstimulation • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Providing frequent updates and communication I work from home frequently and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide focused attention and supervision. I treat pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own dog. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building pet care into my daily routine. I’m active, enjoy walks and outdoor time, and naturally structure my day around consistency and attentiveness. Because I have a dog of my own, caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, including walks, feeding routines, playtime, comfort, and making sure pets feel safe and settled. I’m home frequently and able to provide regular supervision, attention, potty breaks, and updates throughout the day. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and comfortable, so I try to maintain consistent routines and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, quiet, and relaxed environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I’m mindful of overstimulation and always make sure pets have space to rest and decompress if needed. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate preferences, and house rules. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away. Safety, attentiveness, and trust are extremely important to me, and I care for pets with the same level of responsibility and compassion I would want for my own dog.
“Teresa is an awesome and trusted sitter for our dog. Our dog seems very happy and has been in great spirits after both her stays. Teresa sends pictures and provides feedback as to how the day/stay is going. Looking forward for our dog Roxy"s next visit with Teresa. :)”
“Thank you for being so kind and taking care of Cooper. From allowing me to with ahead of time and providing me picture updates as this was my first time leaving him with someone else other than daycare or family.”
“Jane is fantastic! She responds to my request quickly and is easily communicated. She is taking a good care of my puppy, play with him, walk him and send me pictures/video that greatly soothe my nerves (as this is my first time to trust someone to take care of my high-energy puppy).”
“Paula took such wonderful care of our dog Mozzie. We cannot recommend her enough. We rarely leave him with anyone due to his separation anxiety issues but she was awesome helping him adjust and feel comfortable. We were thrilled to find such a caring and thoughtful pet sitter. Paula was also very helpful when we needed to pick Mozzie up at a different time than originally scheduled and she was kind enough to reassure us that he was adjusting well. She took him out for long walks and sent pictures early in his stay. We would have Paula watch our dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Marchin has been great!! He’s so communicative, and makes sure he is doing what is best for your pet!! He has been so helpful and it’s been such a smooth process having him watch my dog!!”
“Shannon and her family are fantastic! Sasha had a busy and fun-filled day, and came home the best kind of tuckered out. Sasha is counting days til her next stay. Thank you!!”

“Melissa was such a huge help - she responded to a last minute booking and walked and fed Lena for me while I was stuck at work. I greatly appreciated all of the pictures and would definitely book with her again!”
“Shashank was patient, reliable, flexible and so sweet with our anxious pup! He took her on a lovely afternoon walk in our neighborhood and also shared adorable pictures. We will definitely book with him again!”
About: I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs! I have been caring for and house sitting dogs of all breeds since I was 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs making sure to adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and exercise. I am highly attentive, reliable, and committed to satisfying both the pet’s and owner’s needs. I am currently a student; however, I have a very flexible schedule, and can tailor my schedule towards the needs of my clients. I can work weekends. I am a focused and hard worker and will make sure your pet is cared for to the best of my ability. I love all animals and want to make sure that their needs are met through exercise, love, and care.
“Moriah was so patient with Moose! From the sounds of it, both of my boys love her already. Moose definitely has some interesting quirks that can be a little unsettling until you get to know him. Moriah was so kind when she told me what happened and I am super grateful for her understanding and communication.”
“Cadence did great, even with my pup who has pretty bad anxiety. She was calm and patient with him, and then they ended up having a great walk for a whole hour!! She was very responsive too, which really helped me out when I was in a bind.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up on a farm I am very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with a big and energetic yellow lab so trust me I know how to handle the zoomies! Whether I am just walking your dog, visiting with you cat, or just checking in to feed or let out, I will make sure they are loved and happy. I will send you updates and pictures of your pet/pets as frequently as you’d like! I'm currently a student with online classes so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am able to stop by your home as often as you need and can take your pet on walks frequently through the day as well. I have a backyard and there are two kittens living in the house. A very friendly and safe environment and I can also crate your dog if you want!
“Ashley has been amazing with Dudley. Her promptness and thorough report makes me feel so at ease on the days she walks him. He’s always so happy to see her and she is very sweet with him.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been actively caring for them from a young age. I grew up with four dogs and over ten cats, and when my parents got kittens for me in third grade, I learned the responsibility of daily feeding, litter care, grooming, and monitoring their health — along with how to truly bond with and care for animals. In sixth grade, I helped raise and train a puppy of my own, which gave me hands-on experience with leash training, house training, basic commands, and understanding puppy behavior. Over the years, I’ve cared for both large and small dogs, as well as pets of all ages — from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who require extra patience and gentle attention. I also helped care for my senior cat who had been with me my whole life, which taught me a great deal about the special needs of aging pets. In addition, I’ve walked dogs and provided pet sitting for friends and families, always keeping routines consistent and stress-free. I have experience walking reactive dogs and have learned how to calmly de-escalate situations, as well as how to approach and build trust with more timid animals. I've learned the importance of learning and adapting to each pet's unique needs. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, attentiveness, and consistency, because every pet deserves thoughtful care. I’m currently a student at the University of Michigan and have flexibility between classes, which allows me to provide dependable daytime and evening care during the school year. In the summer, when I’m not in classes, I work part-time and have even more availability - I’m especially excited to take on more Rover bookings during that time. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I stick closely to feeding schedules, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide walks, playtime, and enrichment based on their usual energy level and personality. I pay attention to their behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if anything seems different. I’m also very respectful of your home, keeping things tidy and secure, while making sure your pet feels relaxed, safe, and cared for (and have fun!) in their familiar space.
About: I hit the jackpot when I was born into a family of dog people! With personal experience in my home and at a pet-adoption agency where I volunteered, there has not been a single dog I did not love: the timid, high-energy, skittish, adventurous or couch potato. I have been a pet caretaker all my life, but I gained a new appreciation for senior care once my 13-year-old Weimaraner got sick and vet visits became routine and his food became completely homemade. I am a student at U of M taking a 3 day/week summer course, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to furry friends. I have house-sat for pet parents (2 terriers, one senior and one puppy) numerous times. I also am very familiar with signs of distress, having 2 senior dogs myself. Whether your dog needs regular walks, play time, eating on a strict schedule, or medication at a specific time, I am happy to accommodate their routine! I have so much love for any and all dogs who come my way and treat others as if they were my own.
“Excellent dog walker! Mendongexue came twice a day. She was consistently on time, very sweet with Rosie, and took her on unhurried walks. Lovely and professional.”
“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Elayna was very quick to respond and very communicative. She was extremely flexible with my last minute request and tons of disorganization on my part. Very attentive to my senior dogs needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Allyssa is very easy to communicate and care our dog a lot. Before she starts the foster walk, she asked in detail for things need to know. She always arrive on time and always walk the dog for our agreed length of time. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have owned several dogs and cats and have been responsible for caring for them for the past 10 years. I grew up on a farm, so I have experience with pigs, sheep, goats, and some horses. I also watch dogs and cats for family friends, and I love all animals! I have a hybrid work schedule and typically from home 3 days a week. I am happy to care for animals in the mornings and afternoons when I go into the office (typically 9am-4pm) and throughout the day when I work from home. I walk my dogs with leashes, and they are crate trained for the night. However, I also have experience with dogs who are trained with shock/recall collars and dogs who don’t use crates. I am comfortable with litter boxes for cats, and have no problems keeping them clean.

She did a great job! Thanks again Abby!”
About: I have been a pet owner since 2010 but an animal lover my whole life. I am also a mom so I can handle pretty much anything and I have a flexible schedule. I currently work a remote part-time job so I am very flexible during the work day and at times after work and on weekends. I have my own car. I have a fully fenced yard at my house and my dog Clementine loves all animals! I am also interested in walking dogs or caring for dogs in other people's homes during the work day.
“Oscar did a great job looking after my pup. He kept me updated and sent pics. She was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy the experience. I will definitely use Oscar’s services again.”
