“Kind, friendly, so easy to work with. Rahied made what was an anxious situation for me, completely worry-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. I knew my furry friend was in good hands right at the moment I met Rahied. I have no reservations about recommending him.”
“Teddy had such a great time with Tara, her family, and her pups! He made friends and had a blast with them. She sent me pictures and a video while we were away which we appreciated so much. Tara is so amazing with animals and I would totally have her watch Teddy again! Thank you so much Tara.”

“Tiffany was my main point of contact and she was so sweet and caring with my senior (14yo) husky mix Molly. I received updates each day morning, and night, and she took my Moll Doll on tons of walks. Molly got to sleep on furniture and I can tell she had the time of her life in the new comfy environment. It was such a relief knowing that she was so well loved while I was away that now I feel like I need to take her back for visits to her new favorite home away from home.”

I received videos of Jake playing in the yard each day 💕💕 I would recommend Kerri to anyone that is looking for a sitter and will use her again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was a last minute change of plans with my original dog sitting plans. Laura was quick to respond and very accommodating around my extremely hectic schedule. She made it a very simple and smooth process. I was very pleased with her home setup and yard during our meet & greet. I knew my puppy was going to be safe and well looked after. I received lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Laura to watch your pet, you will be glad you did! I know I was!”
“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.”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“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!”

I am very comfortable around bigger dogs and would love to take care of yours! I lost my black lab German shepherd a couple years ago. I took a fur baby break, but now I have my baby puppy Luna who is a golden retriever mix. We also grew up with cats. For the month of July I am working part time so I have more time to look after your fur babies. For the month of July I work part time so I have extra free time to look after your fur babies.

I’ve raised 2 puppies (Great Dane & Keeshound) in my short life, rescued a pair of sibling old cats and have had many exotic animals I’ve cared for.

I currently work only the weekends for myself and would love nothing more than to spend time with your pets during the week! I love spending time animals, especially in the outdoors so walks and drop ins are perfect for me! I do have a fenced in yard if I ever needed to keep your fur babies overnight. Since raising my own two puppies I do have a lot of experience with walks and feedings.

“Tiffany and Steven watched my Great Dane puppy this time and gave him so much love! He can be a real handful and I needed some space to get my home ready to sell. They treated him like their own and sent so many cute pics. He got to go on lots of walks, have the bed to himself (and the humans) , and got to play with all the toys he could find. Otto had a blast. I cant recommend them enough. Thank you guys so much!”

About: On top of having a genuine love for animals I am also task, oriented and believe in the upmost respect and welfare of each pet coming to my home. Pets are treated as part of my family however, I recognize that they are also held to a higher standard due to being a distinguished visitor in my home it is not only my pleasure But my duty to provide the best care possible for the best Rover experience. Phase 1 – Introduction An in-person or virtual meet-and-greet where the owner and I determine if care is a good fit. Phase 2 – Initial Care Day Often the hardest transition for the pet, but made easier for both the owner and me through successful meet-and-greets Phase 3 – Companionship This stage focuses on building rapport with the pet through bonding activities. Each day includes at least 30 minutes and three activities (e.g., walks, toys, fetch, petting, treats, and rewards). Phase 4 – Integration (for boarding or multi-day visits) At this stage, the pet becomes part of the daily routine and begins to see me as their temporary caregiver. Phase 5 – Reunion The happiest moment—when the pet reunites with their owner. Their excitement and expressions are truly priceless.

About: I’ve had many dogs of my own. My mom bought my first dog when I was 10 and my family and I experienced taking care of dogs over the years. We’ve experienced pregnant dogs, puppies, older dogs with arthritis, and much more. Just recently, I had the opportunity to dog sit my cousin’s husky Bella for a few months and I enjoyed it very much! I currently work part-time. The good thing about my job is that I don’t work long hours and my job is literally 5 mins from my home where your due baby will be. 3 days out of the 7 days of week I do not work and the other 4 days I only work up to 6 hours so I do have some free time to tend to your fur baby. No fenced in backyard however, in the even that your dog/puppy runs lose, my neighborhood is very friendly and familiar with who’s pet is who’s and they will try their hardest to return your fur baby.

“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: I love dogs and recently lost my Whoodle after 13 years. I have had dogs for most of my adult life including a Bichon Frise, Whoodle, and a Doberman mix. I am good with senior dogs and puppies. I crate trained my last two dogs until they were 2 years old. I have dog sat for numerous family members and friends.. I have dog bowls, leashes, lots of toys and just need some cool dogs to hang out with :-) I am mainly looking to care for dogs on long weekends right now because I am back to working in office several days a week. I will be able to ensure the longest your dog will be left alone will be 4 hours. I have a large yard but not fenced in so I will be taking them out on a leash in the yard and for walks. I also have a park at the end of my street. I can do crate trained dogs but you would need to bring their crate. I do allow dogs on the couch and in the bed. I took care of a blind Bichon with diabetes for 3 years so I can care for older blind or deaf dogs and can administer insulin or other meds if needed.
About: Hello! I have been working with all type of animals since I was 13 years old. I grew up in a home that encouraged love for animals. My mom, sister, and I used to rehabilitate baby foxes, raccoons, squirrels, possums, and different types of birds. I was a full time dog sitter for a few years. Since going away to college, I wasn't able to work as much. I graduated from CMU in 2020 and spent 3 years working for United Wholesale Mortgage. Now I am fully self employeed and work from home as a pet sitter and a mortgage broker. I would love to take care of your adorable pets! I promise they will be given the utmost care and will be returned to you happy and healthy every single day! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! At any given time, I usually have 2-3 dogs I’m taking care of. If you are not comfortable having your pet around other pets, unfortunately we will not be a good fit. I find transparency to be very important! I work solely from home so I am here all day to care for the animals that come to stay with me. It brings me joy to have them here! I have a fenced in yard. My next door neighbor has a very small dog on the other side of the fence. The opposite side has no pets.

About: I grew up with dogs and have helped potty train them. I love to cuddle and play with dogs. An added bonus is my son who is 14 loves dogs. They will be able to give all the kisses if that's their thing. I work from home so they will always have company and also have the availability to go out when needed. I stay in a quite neighborhood with sidewalks so when we go on walks they will be safe. Pets will have access to the whole home. No worries. There are no toxic plants or other toxic products that they will be able to get into. This will be a nice safe haven, like a second home to them.
About: Must love dogs! I have a 9 month old golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs. My dogs name is Carmelo (Melo) and his favorite spot to go to is any type of fair for people or Keego harbor for a fun hike and swim.

I have had mostly large dogs my entire life, but love all breeds and sizes. I work full-time from home as an accountant for a firm in downtown Detroit and am wanting to do this mostly for fun and for extra income.

About: I’ve always had great experiences of taking care of pets since childhood. From taking care of my own, pet sitting for friends while they’re out of town as well as working at a doggy daycare for a year. I have experience with both cats & dogs of various sizes and ages. Currently I have open availability for house sitting (Sunday through Saturday) and will be available for dog walking and check ins Wednesday through Saturday (mornings and afternoons). I cannot board pets at my home since I share my living space at this time, however, I’m opening to visit/stay at the client’s home if needed.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and caretaker. With my own animals in adulthood, I’ve found incredible joy building bonds with them through training and adventures. I enjoy learning from professional trainers and using their techniques to create a great relationship with animals. I have a flexible schedule right now with extra time for walks and drop-in visits both during the week and on weekends! If you’re unsure whether timing lines up with my calendar, don’t hesitate to ask. Pet safety is always top of mind for me. I’m conscientious about factors like temperature, escape opportunities, animal encounters, and unexpected food, glass, etc. I closely observe your pet’s behavior to track comfort and stress levels so I can adjust as needed.
About: I am an experienced foster animal caregiver, and a teacher. I offer a totally open schedule during the summer and on weekends. I’ve taken care of animals since a young age; I’ve personally had, kittens, cats, dogs, puppies, chickens, fish, and hamsters too. I have experience in crate training, potty training, basic obedience and leash training as well. Currently I have a male Golden Retriever in my home who is not neutered due to breed standards- he will be as soon as he is old enough, and he is up to date on all his vaccines and shots. He is well mannered and loves all animals- we have hosted puppies and dogs through the foster rescue and all were successful :) I am currently a teacher, so my weekends and “breaks” are fully open; beginning in June will be home full time! I wake up pretty early and like to spend time in the backyard with my resident doggie and any fosters I have playing with toys, balls, or sticks. Then I move into a short training session based on what the pups need- if it’s just my resident dog I usually work on a new command or leash skills. We head inside and usually it’s nap time (where the pups can relax on the couch if they want)! After naps or relaxing time we go back outside for more playtime, or go for a walk and repeat throughout the day. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in backyard and a very friendly/playful golden retriever pup to keep your doggies company. I do have a separate “doggie room” which has crates, beds, toys, etc on hand just in case the pup needs a break or some adjustment time- and in there we have extra collars and leashes. We have two baby gates that block of the bathroom and front door area so the doggies don’t get into cleaning supplies or slip out the front door :)

I am a major proponent of positive reinforcement, and will not ever work with any kind of negative reinforcement or punishment based training. I am comfortable with some clicker and reward based training as well should you want to work on a few things with your dog and/or cat (I've trained a few cats to do tricks, too!) I am experienced in administering a variety of medications. I have three cats of my own ranging from 15-years-old to 2-years-old, and a 5-year-old 65lb pitty. Ask me anything! I truly cannot wait to meet your furry family members! My job allows me an immense amount of flexibility as well as being remote so I have lots of time for your baby! I can provide multiple check ins a day during the week or weekend. Although I do not bring clients into my home, I care for them in their comfortable home environment however they are most comfortable. It's important I maintain their routines and help them to feel safe and secure. For cats this includes dedicated toy time and snuggles, and for dogs it includes supervised yard time or walkies!
About: Hello all! I am a huge animal lover and have been an avid volunteer at various shelters for many years. I have been a trusted sitter for many friends and family members, and have pets of my own who are very much part of my family. I have a great deal of experience with many different breeds, some positive reinforcement training experience, and some basic first aid/troubleshooting experience. I will always treat any animal within my care as my own, and take my responsibility of being trusted with someone's family member incredibly seriously. I work from home on a varied, part-time schedule. I plan to use the late morning/early afternoon hours when I am typically free to do walks and/or check-ins and can do overnights as needed when my schedule allows. Making sure there is not "people food" easily accessible to the pet when that's a concern, being mindful of small parts they may try to eat and choke on etc. Making sure the animal has enrichment activities to make it less likely they will chew on or destroy anything they aren't supposed to. Paying attention to notes on pet profiles, making myself aware of any concerns with cats/dogs/kids/food aggression etc. Being sure to lock & double check doors before bed or when leaving the property.
About: I am first-aid certified for both cats and dogs by the American Red Cross. I currently work as a dog bather, and have had previous experience as a dog daycare attendant. I am the one my family calls on whenever they need a sitter for their furry/scaly friends, on top of caring for my own animal family members. I am a huge animal lover and have a deep passion for the well being and happiness for all of them, big or small, young or old, furry or scaly! I currently work as a dog bather, and the longest shifts I do are 9 hours maximum. My schedule is fairly flexible at the moment, so if your pet needs more frequent care/potty breaks, I will most likely be able to adjust my work schedule. Just let me know! In my eyes, pets should be treated like family. Although I cannot watch your pet in my own home, I will make sure they are extremely comfortable in yours while you're away. I will provide an appropriate amount of play time, make sure they get frequent potty breaks, feed them on their established schedule, and of course give them lots of cuddles if they like that!
About: I work from home so your pet will not be left home alone for extended periods of time. I am kind, compassionate, and patient. I have knowledge of working with a variety of pet personalities, including those shy and nervous. I have extensive experience working with dogs including working in a boarding kennel, at a pet store, and at a dog park. I also have 15 years of house and pet sitting experience. My personal experience includes being around dogs my entire life. My family has always had them in the home and once I moved out, I gained a couple of my own. I have two dogs who are 100% pet friendly. I specialize in sensitive and older dogs who may have a hard time at a boarding kennel or in a more lively home. I have both a rescue and older dog who are sensitive and unable to be boarded outside of the home. I know how difficult this can be and would love to open my home to your pet when you are in need. Iwould like to make your dog sitter situation as stress-free as possible, and am willing to do what is required to diminish the worry that comes with leaving your pets in the care of someone else. My home is an excellent environment for the more particular pets, as it is tailored to my own. I live in a ranch with no other people in the home. There are no stairs and the majority of the floor is carpet, perfect for pets who have issues with mobility or fear regarding flooring. Pets are always given the option to socialize with us but if they prefer to be on their own to rest. We will not have visitors while your pup is a guest. I am a public school employee and do not work out of the home over the summer. Your pet will get plenty of attention and entertainment. I care for your dog as if it were my own. I can make accommodations on a dog by dog basis. My personal dogs have wildly different needs and I recognize that not all dogs have the same needs. I will do what is necessary to keep your dog happy, healthy, and safe.
“She got my boy who likes to sniff everything to stay moving and walk 2.5 miles! I got pictures and video all along the way...and I am sure he will sleep the rest of the afternoon while we are at work!! Adding her to my list of favorites!”

I received updates each day morning, and night, and she took my Moll Doll on tons of walks. Molly got to sleep on furniture and I can tell she had the time of her life in the new comfy environment. It was such a relief knowing that she was so well loved while I was away that now I feel like I need to take her back for visits to her new favorite home away from home.”
