“George was great with taking care of Zee. He communicated well, sending pictures along the way. She was very happy when we picked her up. Very reasonable rates. Will definitely book again. Thank you George.”
“Andria and her family were so accommodating and helpful with our senior dog. He came back to us well cared for and calm...which means he was rested and taken care of. She also sent pictures of him while he was at her house. I would highly recommended Andria to anyone!”
“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Cash had a great time with Rachel! She was super communicative, letting me know how he was settling in and keeping me updated while I was away for the weekend, sending pics of all the fun he was having while he was with her. She made everything super easy, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. 10/10!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Andrew took amazing care of our dog!! He was extremely proactive ahead of time by doing a meet and greet and accommodating specific requests. He communicated regularly during the stay with pictures and videos. He went above and beyond by reinforcing our dog’s training during his stay. Andrew took it in stride when our dog rolled in something smelly and returned him to us bathed and happy :)”
“Shawna was great. Kept me updated with pictures and texts about Helcia. She has a couple of concerns, but brought them to my attention immediately. I would request Shawna again if I needed someone to watch Helcia for me.”
“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“Katie and Travis were fantastic with our small, old, special-needs dog! Katie is communicative and was clearly attentive to our dog's needs. We will definitely use her again!”
“Another wonderful experience with Lauren and Cris. This go round we reached out about a week before our need… they were so accommodating and were able to make it work. Upon our arrival, Bode nuzzled up to Cris immediately. Thank you for all you do for our pupper!”
“Dia was great with our pup, from the time we connected for a meet and greet we felt comfortable. Dia provided great communication and photos throughout our dog's stay. We certainly will entrust her with our fur baby again!”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to two spoiled boys, Finny and Banjo.

I am respectful of shy and temperament kitties they do not scare me away, I show all cats love. :)

“Cindy is an absolute gem! Clearly read instructions before stopping by for first meet and greet! The communication and pictures before, during and after the daily visits gave me such peace of mind, and allowed me to enjoy my time away! My cat and I truly appreciated Cindy’s attention to detail and clear love for our furry friends!”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”

“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“We have used Greyson’s drop-in visits and overnight stays for both our two cats and two dogs. Greyson always provides a detailed report and will ensure she meets your expectations.”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”
About: Every few months a cat shows up on my doorstep and I can’t have a cat of my own with my dog so I’d love to take care of your baby while you’re away! I’ve been the go to cat sitter for my friends all through college. I have lots of experience getting even the shyest cats to come out and play. I’ve looked after both kittens and older cats and have administered medicine as well.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!

“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have 4 dogs. I've had great experiences with Rover and would like to provide the same care we have received. I have been around all ages of dogs - my children (10 years old and 11 years old) absolutely love animals. From puppies to senior care, we will make sure your fur-baby has a comfortable, playful stay! I am currently staying at home with the kids and homeschooling. Someone will be home unless we run to the store. We are very consistent taking our dogs out with a fenced in yard. I have a fenced in yard - animals are allowed on furniture. We don't crate our animals but we are able to if that is your baby's routine.
About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“Pippin totally loves hanging out at Bobbie’s!!!! He had an absolute blast playing with Korra, as always!!! Bobbie and her household are so welcoming and caring. She sends so many pictures! Thanks for a great time as always!”
“Renee and Michael were so great! Responsive, flexible, and made Marty (and me) totally comfortable. Their house and family were perfect for welcoming in a new dog friend.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”
“Rachel and Michael were great! We booked well in advance and everything went as planned. They have a great fenced in back yard and took our dog for walks the two days she was with them for daycare. Rachel readily responds to messages and was flexible with times. Definitely recommend them!”
“Samantha was amazing! My husband and I took Maru to Michigan and needed someone to watch her while we attended an event. Maru spent two days with Samantha’s family, and we picked her up at nights. Our puppy is almost 6 months old and hadn’t been around many people or dogs, but Samantha and her family gave her outstanding care and great socialization. Maru came back to us happy and loved. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants their dog to be safe, happy, and well-socialized while they’re away.”

About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.
About: Located in MONROE Hi, I grew up in a home that did dog boarding, I've literally been around this my whole life. I Foster rescue dogs. I can potty train, teach tricks, work on leash skills and door manners. I have toys treats and a big yard. My house is near the lake and we take them for walks multiple times a day. My neighbors are dog trainers or fellow pet lovers. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. I have an adopted Pitbull who is literally the friendliest dog in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog around our home might not be ideal. Just being honest. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing to make sure we are on the same page and to make sure all parties involved get along as well. We only offer dog walks and drop ins locally as it's to costly to do that outside of the immediate area. If outside of the Monroe are please advise. My husband and I are both not working. We have all the free time to spend with your pet that you could want. We could do holidays weekends overnights. If there is something you'd like me to work on with your pup let me know! I have a large fenced in back yard in a dog friendly beach community. We take our dog on morning and evening walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. We have treats toys and space to relax. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.
About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I’m currently a nursing student at Monroe County Community College, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and act just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I care for every pet like they’re my own, keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routine. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to follow any special instructions or needs your pet may have. 🐾❤️ My student nurse experience helps with passing meds, giving injections, and everything in between for pets that’s need a little extra care!

“We hired Cindy to walk our pup while we were on vacation. I was a little worried because we have an anxious pup who can be easily overwhelmed and slow to warm up to people. Cindy was great with him! By 2 days in he was so excited for his walks he was waiting for her at the door when she arrived. She gave him the time he needed to stop and sniff which helps him decompress. Since he is part lab she really tapped into those personality traits by walking him near water and places where he could see, smell and hunt around for small animals. She was punctual and sent pictures as well as a map of his walks everyday. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have been pet sitting every month for the past 6 years and it has been such an enjoyable and memorable experience and I appreciate everyone who has given me the opportunity to do so!

About: Based in Belleville, MI - I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while.

I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old.

I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.

About: Since 2006, I have traveled for work extensively (100-200+/days) and owned several dogs and homes. I know how challenging it can be to find someone who loves dogs and won't cancel or flake last minute, and also not worry about the stress and care level at boarding environments for your furry family members. I am a college coach with open dates this summer to watch your home and pets. I'd love to earn extra income in order to keep chasing my dream with my 12-year-old border collie. If I'm working in the office, I'm still able to make time for home visits, walks and all the pets. I am also able to work remote at times. I look forwarding to finding some families to help as much as I can. I have raised agility dogs, puppies, seniors and added to my pack of 2-3 over the years. I have a good knowledge of feeding dogs with allergies, have done many baths and grooming, and have cared for sick pups. I treat my own dog like family, while also respecting and teaching boundaries.
About: My first job was being the neighborhood pet sitter in high school and I instantly fell in love with getting to know and care for so many unique animals. While I’m new to the Rover family, family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors have trusted me with their pet family for over 10 years. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs and aquatics animals. From Turtle to Tabi cat to Great Dane! I have experienced with senior animals, puppy’s and medication administration. I’d love to chat about your pets individual needs to adapt and care for them the best way possible. When I come to run, play, walk or lounge with you pet my time with be spent loving them and making sure they’re comfortable with you’re away. Im also comfortable with taking them to dog parks. I’m a pet parent myself so my day starts and ends with my pup! I’m typically free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. Mondays and Tuesdays I have a completely free schedule to work around for your needs. Wed-Sunday I’m free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. I am off work between 9-10 (depends on the day) and can come back to continue care. Respecting both your home and your pets boundaries is a huge priority for me. Whatever makes your pet feel comfortable in my care comes first. I’d love to chat about what your daily routine looks like with your pet to make sure they’re best cared for
About: With years of experience working at a pet store, taking care of friends pets while they're out of town, and even my own furry kids I feel confident in my abilities to be there for your pets when you need me to. I am currently trying to work for myself via a couple different avenues. What does this mean for you? I have open availability to fit in your and your pets schedule perfectly! I am a very open communicator! If I have questions or concerns I will reach out to you. I am a firm believer in treating people how you want to be treated and that will translate with how I interact with your pets and home!
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!

“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Cash had a great time with Rachel! She was super communicative, letting me know how he was settling in and keeping me updated while I was away for the weekend, sending pics of all the fun he was having while he was with her. She made everything super easy, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. 10/10!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Andrew took amazing care of our dog!! He was extremely proactive ahead of time by doing a meet and greet and accommodating specific requests. He communicated regularly during the stay with pictures and videos. He went above and beyond by reinforcing our dog’s training during his stay. Andrew took it in stride when our dog rolled in something smelly and returned him to us bathed and happy :)”
“Shawna was great. Kept me updated with pictures and texts about Helcia. She has a couple of concerns, but brought them to my attention immediately. I would request Shawna again if I needed someone to watch Helcia for me.”
“Oscar made sure that my fur baby was well taken care of, I felt I had nothing to worry about! I received some pictures throughout the stay and overall, my pup seemed very calm coming home! 10/10 would recommend!”

“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“Katie and Travis were fantastic with our small, old, special-needs dog! Katie is communicative and was clearly attentive to our dog's needs. We will definitely use her again!”

“Laura & Manuel were great! We were out of the country for 10 days and they were sure to send pictures every few days to let us know our Moose was settled in and going great at his "vacation family" home. They had us do a meet and greet prior to his stay and ensured he would be a good fit in their home. If we ever need somewhere to send Moose for a night away or another vacation, they will be our number one pick!”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
