“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“All I can say is Rahied is AMAZING!! My 18yr old blind and deaf baby Coco and are beyond blessed to have found him🙏🏾 He was so attentive, sent updates with pictures daily! Caring for a senior dog is very challenging and exhausting but Rahied made this stay so pleasant for my baby. Feed her by hand, let her drink from her bowl by hand, held her when she cried, administered her medication and so much more😫 I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with him, my spirit told me HE was the one & my spirit does NOT LIE! Forever grateful🤞🏾 If you desire compassion, attentive & extra love while being in the care of a sitter, please don't hesitate to book Rahied Hi🫶🏾 If my baby live another season, Rahied is our choice! Thank you again❤️”
“Jill took such good care of my dog on his visit to her home. We had contacted her a couple of days prior to her watching him and she was really responsive, accommodating and attentive to him while he was injured in a cone and administered his meds and provided extra care. We will definitely be coming back to Jill! Thanks so much!”
“I had an amazing experience with Kadi! She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and showed so much love to my dog. Her communication was great and she sent regular photo updates which we loved. My dog came home happy and ready for a nap. I would refer her to anyone!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Maritza & Daniel were absolutely AMAZING!! They clearly love animals and know how to spoil the fur babies that they sit. Will be using them again in the future, thank you both so much!! ❤️”
“Beverly took wonderful care of my Frenchie. She was quick to make Cookie feel right at home. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. There is always some anxiety when having someone care for your pet, but I knew within an hour my Cookie was in the right place. I would recommend Beverly to anyone who needs pet care and sitting services. So much better than a kennel. Your dog will be loved and will gets lots and lots of attention and love all day and all night.”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of my own dogs and my friends’ many pets. I love to take long walks or sit and hang with animals if that’s what your pets need. I have had dogs in the house since I was a baby, most of which have been large high-energy dogs, so I can handle the big loud pups. My most recent pet was a high-needs senior dog, so I understand the anxiety that comes along with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I am happy to take care of any special needs and send updates/pictures to ease your mind. I have a soft spot for seniors. In the summer I work from home on weekdays. I have some flexibility when it comes to being able to take longer breaks as long as I can get all my work time in. I have lots of flexibility during weeknights and weekends! My home: I have a great home for dogs, with lots of open space and a fenced back yard. Since I work from home, I would be able to keep an eye on your pets all day long. I have a partner who is home most weeknights and weekdays as well. We recently lost our senior dog and we would love to fill our house with wags and barks again. Clients home: I have lots of experience pet sitting at friends’ homes, so I can adapt to whatever you need at your home. I am very flexible so if you’re curious about how often I can come over or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.
“Veronica was simply amazing! From start to finish; Excellent communication, very attentive and transparent with expectations. Home very neat and clean and kept us updated daily with adorable pics and videos of T3ddy (Teddy) having a great time. I felt our pup was in a safe, warm, clean loving environment. Veronica is highly recommended that your fur baby will be respected and cared for.”
“My dog had the best time with Hali! She is a good communicator and kept me updated frequently. Her dogs are so cute and sweet and she has a lovely safe space for the dogs. So grateful my dog had her while I was on vacation!”
“Sam is Great! River really looked to enjoy his time with Sam! I received pictures every evening of River enjoying his vacation. I already have my next trip booked with Sam 😊.”

“Shannon went above and beyond while we were gone for a week! She was very timely, detailed, and considerate. She sent us pictures everyday, and kept our minds entirely at ease for our entire trip. Would recommend her to everyone!”
“Mary Kay was great with my two girls (cats). She was incredibly communicative and sent great pictures which put my mind at ease. One of my cats is very fearful and has been known to hiss at strangers, but Mary Kay got her to play and take treats. Would recommend Mary Kay in a heartbeat!!”
“Thank you so much Rhea! I travel for work and she took great care of my kitty; he got to go outside on his leash, got a treat, and she even brought my packages inside for me. Can’t wait to book her again”
“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!”
“Claudia was amazing! She really cared about my kitties, even checking in to make sure something odd was normal for my one cat. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town. I absolutely would love to hire her again because I know my babies were in good hands with her.”
“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”
“Shelbi is absolutely amazing and so communicative about even the small details. I know my pups are in good hands when she comes by to drop in or walk them! I definitely recommend using her and she is my go to each and every time!! Thank you Shelbi for being you and taking such great care of Frank and Beans ;)”
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
“Kennie was professional and reliable and even navigated a power outage while taking care of our cats. We are grateful for Kennie’s thoughtful care and would definitely book again in the future. Thank you Kennie!”
“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 grew up in a household of all kinds of pets! I've taken care of our fur babies as well as those of relatives since I was about 12. I'm also very experienced with handling different temperaments of cats from the playful to the grumpy! I have two cats myself and one is 5 years old and the other is 2 so I'm used to entertaining less active cats to get them active as well as playing with little balls of energy to burn some of it! From cleaning to walking to feeding I have experience in several different aspects of pet care.
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
“Sam Q was great. She understood complicated directions and fed, watered, and medicated my elderly kitty. Would definitely recommend, and will book again myself with, Sam Q.”
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!
“Thank you so so much for taking care of my boy! I hope that you are available next time. I appreciate all the love and updates. You are so so great and for real if you are available again I will use you, I know Enzo loves you and that’s amazing.”

“If anyone’s looking for a dog sitter or daycare, I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel and her husband. They are so kind and attentive to the dogs they watch, and my Blue has had the best time with them. They treat your dog like family. Thank you! :)”
“Bentley had a great time hanging out with Murphy and Meredith. We've just moved to the Ferndale area, and he misses his old neighbor friends. Happy he's made a friend with Murphy:)”
“Samantha is awesome! You can tell how passionate she is about dogs and how interested she is in making sure Archie’s stay was great. He loves being there and learning how to be a good dog from Samantha and the rest of her pack. Samantha makes sure to work on socialization, commands and gives the pups great treats too. I especially appreciate all the pictures!”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
About: I have cared for dogs since our first Siberian Husky joined the family in the 1960's! Family, friends and now new friends have entrusted me to take care of their fury family members when they leave town. From puppies to seniors they are all treated as if they were my own! I will consider accepting two dogs from the same family/household, but will generally only care for one dog at a time. This is so that no dog needs to not only adjust to being away from their own home, but also have to navigate relating to another, unfamiliar animal. I have no pets in my own home at this time either. Breeds I have cared for over the years include Labrador Retrievers, Samoyeds, Pugs, Huskies, Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Weimaraner's, German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, English Setters, Australian Shepards, Cocker Spaniels, Cockapoos and countless mixed breeds! I work from my home and so I am able to devote myself to any dog in my care. I take frequent work breaks and consider my care of the dogs entrusted to me as a part of my at-home work/life routine! I only care for pets in my own home. I have a nice fenced in backyard with privacy fencing on two sides and chain link on the other two sides, and the dogs seem to like the space. I do not leave dogs in the backyard on their own. I am with them if they are outside. I like to walk the dogs around my neighborhood and through the nearby park up to three times per day depending upon their energy level/physical abilities or limitations and their established routine. Any dogs that are more couch potatoes are certainly never forced to take walks. I honor where they are in terms of their breed, age and physicality! I have cared for elder dogs who have needed regular, timely medications and close observation as well as wild little puppies and everything in between! My home is kept very clean and neat to prevent my fury guests from getting into anything they should not and between visits I wash all dog bedding, towels, blankets and rugs.
“Really RECOMMENDED! Although, Jigi is super spoiled and not happy with strangers, she was really comfortable with Kristen! My dog is almost 15 years old with Cushing's syndrome and coughing. Kristen was very careful, watchful and took care of Jigi in the best way. Kristen is very flexible too. :)”
“Mariana and her husband have hosted our dog Shama multiple times now and they are always our first choice because we know Shama is always happy to see them and stay with them. Very flexible and communicate very nicely with us. We highly recommend them.”
“Our first experience with Theresia was beyond expectations. We requested a meet and greet because we were unsure of a stranger watching our dogs. Theresia was extremely accommodating and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of family, friends and foster pets since i was in my freshman year of University, I’m a very reliable person ! I’m working freelance ! My hours are very flexible so i have a bunch of free time to take care and train your lovely pets ! I live in an apartment but with all of the free time i have, going to the park or spending time indoors is no problem !
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though we were her very first client, she treated our pup like absolute family from the second we walked in. She was warm, professional, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Don't let her lack of reviews fool you, she is a natural at this and truly wonderful with pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cody has a way with dogs, and it’s clear ours enjoyed being with him and was well cared for while there. We booked a few days before the stay and he was extremely accommodating! We will use him again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sarah and I am a lover of all animals. I grew up my whole life with cats and taking care of my neighbors/friends dogs. When I was 11, I even made my own business cards to pass out around the neighborhood to advertise my petsitting "business". I am now the momma of two furry children, a long haired domestic cat named Basil and a red golden retriever named Fisher. I know the importance of these pets in your life. Because I have felt the worries of leaving them in the hands of someone else, I felt inspired to become a pet sitter myself! I have cared for a number of types of different animals including dogs, cats, birds, and weasels. I am open to pets who require medication as well as young puppies as I have just gone through this age myself with Fisher. I promise to take the best care of your furry friends and hope to put your mind at ease while you're away :) I currently work a flexible schedule, so my availability is typically open! Aside from the occasional schedule conflicts, I am in the Ferndale/ metro Detroit area full time and am available mornings, afternoons, or evenings. As for a clients home, I am flexible on the type of place/amenities you have to provide your pets. I would follow any instructions and requests provided!
About: My husband and I work from home and have very flexible schedules that allow us to be present with our pets during the day. There are no kids in the home during the day during the week. Typical day include walks around the neighborhood or nearby park, lounging or playing in the backyard or the dog park. Plenty of toys for chewers and plenty of space in our fenced yard to roam and play. I currently work from home as a technology sales rep. When I am not working, I’m entertaining both my toddler and pets. I often have a decent amount of free time and dog sitting has been a great outlet for my dog to socialize and get some fun in! For repeat pets, I have noticed a big difference after a few days of adjusting. Its important for pets to feel safe in whatever space they are in.
About: I would love to take care of your furbaby! I have several years of past experience working at animal hospitals and a year of volunteer experience at the ASPCA animal shelter. I offer boarding with only one pet family booked at a time. I also offer house-sitting and love how it is a great option for some pets who feel most comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I usually stay overnight for the pet's care needs, but if you are looking for just morning to evening or partial day house-sitting, message me for a custom rate. Whether boarding or house-sitting, I will do my best to adhere to your furbaby's normal routine. I have a knack for relaxing anxious/shy/reactive pets and have quite a lot of experience winning them over. I would be happy to do a meet-n-greet in a large outdoor space for your pup to warm up to me on neutral ground. I've cared for the full spectrum of dog sizes and ages. With older pets, I go slowly and make sure not to startle them if they're sleeping, as they may not see or hear me come in. I like to discuss how I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. Extra plus if your pet is a cuddler! I look forward to getting to know all of your pets' personality traits and quirks! I LOVE hearing stories about the weird things your pets do that make them unique! :D I work from home and can often accommodate same day requests for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine. I like to go slow when meeting new furbabies, especially if you tell me they are shy or anxious. I use a few calming techniques that have shown to be effective. I like a challenge! It's so rewarding watching the transformation of a cat/dog go from showing defensive/protective behavior to them rubbing up on me or giving me kisses. Earning their trust is the best!
About: I grew up with many different animals at home and I loved to take care of them and play with them. I also had dogs and was able to breed and enjoy 12 puppies. I also take care of my neighbors two dogs when they go on vacation or extended weekends. Now I have a Doberman for the last 6 years and she is a smart and loving companion and I trained her to be a service dog. I know how to respond if your furry friend should get sick and have great contacts to a veterinarian hospital. I left corporate world in December last year and are now enjoying retirement. I will have plenty of time to accommodate and play with your furry friend. I have a single family home with fenced in yard to accommodate your dog and to play with Piper, my 6 year old Doberman girl.
“Vicki and her husband were very accommodating and very kind/easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we loved the experience with them! We would highly recommend and plan to use them again when needed!”
“Jess is absolutely my 1 and only go to for caring for my sweet baby. After such a terrible experience with my previous sitter .. jess has been a breath of fresh air. She takes amazing care of Nova! And Nova just loves her and all her friends she gets to see when she visits. Jess is patient and kind and really treats your pets as her own. Nova gets to run around and gets nap times throughout the day. Jess makes sure she addresses the needs of each dog individually and they each get the attention they need. I would 100% recommend her EVERY SINGLE TIME”

About: I have always been the first to offer to cat or dog sit for my friends. My own cat needs daily oral medication, so I understand the importance of timely medication. I can't wait to meet you and your pets. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to animal body language, and know some animal first-aid. In case of an emergency, I'm also capable of lifting up to about 80 pounds.
“Hi highly recommend Greg! I was fortunate enough to not only book him last minute so my pup could get in a walk, but also able to do so on New Years Eve. My pup was obviously quite fond of him because he didn't want to stop playing with Greg once he brought him back home from the walk, and he continued to bring over one toy after the next to show him. I look forward to booking him again in the near future.”

“Mary is great with my pitty!! She always did what I needed done and found the time to squeeze him in even in busy days! She does have a bad ankle so due to that we had to switch over so if u have a bigger stronger dog who pulls or is reactive, may be best to find someone else. But otherwise she did the job and walked him even with that ankle :)! She helped us find other options as well and always had tips to help when issues were brought up. She seems to really care about the animals and what they need.”
About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have experience dealing with training puppies as well as dealing with senior dogs. I will follow your instructions for care to the T because I know how important it is for dogs to have stable training and schedules. I will take your dog to the park, out on a walk, on a run, or with me around town. In my mind dogs are part of the family and I will treat them as one of my own for as long as I have the privilege to take care of them. I have two rescues, both fixed that get along great with other dogs. I foster for several rescues so i know how to deal with different temperaments of dogs. Your dog will receive the same care as mine and all the same walks/runs/play time. I work from home so I am able to take your dog outside, for walks, and ensure they are getting the exercise they need to thrive. I have a fenced in yard, gated front porch, and a gate on the stairs. The dogs will have full access to the basement (dog proofed) and first floor. Access to the top floor will be for bedtime (if the routine is the dog sleeps in the bed). We also have a playpen and crates here at the house.
About: Hi there! I’m Rhiannon — a lifelong animal lover and former professional dog groomer of 5 years. I’ve spent years caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or keeping up with your dog’s routine, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, calm, and attentive — your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me the perfect balance to dedicate plenty of focused time to pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to plan my remote work around walks, feedings, and playtime — so your pet always gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning, mid-day, or evening visits, I’m able to adjust my hours to fit your pet’s needs and routine. When I care for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their familiar space. I follow your routine closely — feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — so your pet feels secure and cared for just like you’re there. I always treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine: tidy, mindful, and trustworthy. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. With 5 years of experience as a professional dog groomer, I’m confident reading animal behavior and providing calm, reliable care no matter the breed or personality.
“Valerie has been a fantastic dog walker for my pug, Steve. Communication has been super easy, she always leaves great notes (feedback and pictures) and brings lots of positive energy. Steve has been a very happy boy to have another friend to play with. Very highly recommended!”
About: I have been caring for family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats for 15 years. Walking, feeding, administering treats, administering medications, grooming, vet trips, playing, and all of the snuggles. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day; Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with a little weekend availability. I do apologize, but at the moment I am unavailable to care for your pets in my own home, as I have two cats of my own and no fenced-in yard.
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 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 got started dog-sitting as a teenager, because every family I baby-sat for had dogs as well. I've spent years walking and taking care of dogs, though I've never had one of my own. I love dogs, but through my adult life so far, I haven't lived in an apartment complex that allowed them. I am up for long walks and playtime. I also just moved to the Detroit-area from Kalamazoo, and walking dogs seems like a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.

About: I grew up with two cats, fish, a guinea pig and a dog! I started taking care of animals officially when I was 14. My neighbors hired me to either walk their dogs, pet sit during trips, or just check in on them during the day. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. Some of the neighbors that hired me had me coming back for years every day to either walk there dog, let there dogs out or feed their cat. I also have experience with overnight pet care. Currently looking for a part-time job in Burlington, so my hours are very flexible and I have open availability for all your pet care needs! I always make sure that I understand very clearly all the details for caring for someone’s pet. Every pet is unique and requires different things. I am 100% transparent and appreciate communication. I always make sure to double check everything and I value your pets safety and well being just as much as my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet. I do not offer boarding services but I am more than happy to visit your pet and make sure they are comfortable, fed and walked if needed. I enjoy interacting with animals and assessing their body language to meet their needs.
About: Hi! I'm David. I grew up in Michigan surrounded by dogs and farm animals. Labrador Retrievers were the family favorite, however, I rescued a Basset Hound Mix during the pandemic. One of my college jobs was working at a doggy daycare center. I was quickly promoted to manager and ended up rolling out a marketing plan for the business. It was a blast! I live in Metro Detroit (Oak Park) and am currently "funemployed" which means I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry companions! I take pride in my ability to be patient, gentle, responsible, and fun with all kinds of dogs, sizes, and ages. I have vast and diverse experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, horses, and birds. During college, I volunteered at various humane societies and frequently dog sat for friends and relatives. I was also instrumental in co-training a Golden Retriever to be a service dog. That was a highly rewarding experience. My approach to dog care is to start with the owner and get to know the dog through their eyes. I then channel that love and devotion to esteemed care, ensuring that walks are done frequently, food is out at a responsible time, and that enough attention is spent with the dog. I'm an outdoors guy and walk whenever I get the chance, so rest assured that your dog will get a healthy amount of outside time. If you've made it this far and like what you've read, let's schedule a meet-and-greet! I take my pup for walks at least four times a day, and let her roam free in my fenced in backyard. I provide attention and care throughout the day! I'm very respectful not only of my client's pets, but also their homes. I'm very trustworthy and neat/tidy. I've dog sat in many homes both for the day and overnight. I treat other people's property as if it were my own.
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.
About: Besides taking care of dogs the majority of my life, I’ve been working in the animal care field for over 10 years, from pet services to working on the acclaimed television series, “The Dog Whisperer”. I also have the necessary obedience and training skills from working with “Doggie Docs”, a service that creates video documentaries of your popular pet and other services! I have a profound knowledge of proper training procedures and health assessment that ensures your pup will be in very capable and loving hands. I will evaluate individual behavior, nutritional needs, and your dog’s overall fitness then adapt my services. I always strive to provide a safe and fun environment, to the point your pup won’t ever want to leave. I met my first dog when I was about four years old. We called him Yo Yo and he was the most gentle and sweet soul. That was the beginning of the end for me when it comes to my great love affair with our furry friends. Yo Yo would follow me around just to make sure I was okay, and at any sign of distress, he’d start licking me and wagging his tail to show that I was protected and loved without judgement. I was also a huge dog movie fan as a kid. The original “Benji” had such an enormous effect, so much so, when I moved to Los Angeles, I actually sought out the director of the film so I could learn more about dog training. Since then, I’ve had many dogs come into my life, even four simultaneously at one point! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters across the LA and Detroit areas, including fostering dogs. Unfortunately, I’m without a pup right now, but that’s where yours comes in. I get my dog fix while helping their humans? That’s a win-win situation in my book. I work full time, but I have a lot of freedom at my job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Your pup’s needs will be my primary focus. Sometimes I work from home or at the office, but it’s only a 10-minute drive away. I’m an active person and I thoroughly enjoy going out with the dogs and get a round of running or playtime with them. I also have an extensive DVD collection so if your dog likes classic movies and prefers chilling on the couch, my place will be heaven. I pretty much let dogs get assimilated to my home for a bit before any fun time starts. I'm always with them on an emotional level especially when their owner first leaves them at the home. It must be scary for them, so I try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m a super laid-back, respectful, considerate guy, and I always strive to be calm and collected. I don’t take this responsibility lightly––dogs are your family––which means they become a part of mine.

“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“All I can say is Rahied is AMAZING!! My 18yr old blind and deaf baby Coco and are beyond blessed to have found him🙏🏾 He was so attentive, sent updates with pictures daily! Caring for a senior dog is very challenging and exhausting but Rahied made this stay so pleasant for my baby. Feed her by hand, let her drink from her bowl by hand, held her when she cried, administered her medication and so much more😫 I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with him, my spirit told me HE was the one & my spirit does NOT LIE! Forever grateful🤞🏾 If you desire compassion, attentive & extra love while being in the care of a sitter, please don't hesitate to book Rahied Hi🫶🏾 If my baby live another season, Rahied is our choice! Thank you again❤️”
“Jill took such good care of my dog on his visit to her home. We had contacted her a couple of days prior to her watching him and she was really responsive, accommodating and attentive to him while he was injured in a cone and administered his meds and provided extra care. We will definitely be coming back to Jill! Thanks so much!”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of my own dogs and my friends’ many pets. I love to take long walks or sit and hang with animals if that’s what your pets need. I have had dogs in the house since I was a baby, most of which have been large high-energy dogs, so I can handle the big loud pups. My most recent pet was a high-needs senior dog, so I understand the anxiety that comes along with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I am happy to take care of any special needs and send updates/pictures to ease your mind. I have a soft spot for seniors. In the summer I work from home on weekdays. I have some flexibility when it comes to being able to take longer breaks as long as I can get all my work time in. I have lots of flexibility during weeknights and weekends! My home: I have a great home for dogs, with lots of open space and a fenced back yard. Since I work from home, I would be able to keep an eye on your pets all day long. I have a partner who is home most weeknights and weekdays as well. We recently lost our senior dog and we would love to fill our house with wags and barks again. Clients home: I have lots of experience pet sitting at friends’ homes, so I can adapt to whatever you need at your home. I am very flexible so if you’re curious about how often I can come over or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.

“They are such amazing dog parents and care takers!! My girl left there so happy and happily exhausted from all the activities and playing she did. She made so many new friends 💖 Rachel really listens during the meeting and greet and it put us at so much ease for my baby's first overnight stay there. That was such a success too! We are now repeating clients and will always choose this rover because they both go above and beyond 🥰💖”

“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”
“Theresa and Adrian were fantastic with Goose. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear he was in a warm and welcoming home. They kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which we really appreciated. Goose came back happy and clearly well cared for. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy having him around. We would absolutely trust them with Goose again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful and reliable sitters.”
