“We would definitely recommend Steven for his pet sitting services. He watched our two kittens for a week that needed a little extra care. He sent pictures and videos frequently so we wouldn’t miss the babies too much. Steven has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals and we would absolutely book with him again. Thank you!”
“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”
“I couldn’t ask for anyone better. I honestly feel at ease when I leave my fur baby here. The updates really feel great along with the pictures. Good details and consistency.”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Allesha is great with our dog Zoey! She’s super accommodating to our schedule and takes wonderful care of Zoey. Zoey gets treated like one of Allesha’s pack and comes home tired and happy ☺️”
“Our dog had a great time at Queeny’s house. She periodically sent us pictures and responded promptly. Our dog enjoyed playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog for a week while I was on vacation was a little nerve-wracking, but Cody immediately put me at ease. From our first interaction, it was clear that he is very experienced with dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them. I have a high-energy Border Collie/Aussie mix, and he handled him wonderfully. He got plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I also really appreciated was the regular updates and photos he sent throughout the week. It was so reassuring to see how he was doing and know he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”
“Absolutely fantastic family for Lucci, I hope Karen and family are available when needed. They are always my 1st choice above all others. I can’t ask for anyone better.”
“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.”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”
“We had the best experience possible boarding our rescue dog Maisie with Sam. She gave her so much love and attention! She also carefully followed all our instructions about medications, feeding, and behavioral issues. We received daily updates and cute photos. Sam is so knowledgeable about canine behavior and even did some training with Maisie. We felt so confident that our dog was in excellent hands and could enjoy our trip without any worries.”
“Shree was a total Gem her and Raul treated Zou like family ! My heart was filled with joy on the way they cared for him . The videos and messages were just enough to keep us engaged on his progress during his stay! He’s a puppy and still in the baby stages which is a lot but they managed him so well!”
“Jess has watched our dogs a few times now! She really does a great job, and is always informative about how the dogs were and the care they received. 5/5, 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Angelina and her family looked after our Bailey over the past month while we were traveling. As always, they went above and beyond in their care. We received lots of photos and updates throughout Bailey’s stay, which put our minds at ease. It’s clear that Bailey feels really comfortable and enjoys her time with Angelina and her family, including her own dogs. We can’t thank her enough!”
“Boarded my pup at Racheals for 4 days and she kept me posted every day about him. They’re very hospitable and my dog seemed extremely happy when I came to pick him up at the end of his stay. Can’t thank Rachael and her boyfriend enough for taking care of my puppy, I would recommend them a 100% of the time and would board my dog with them again.”
“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!!”

“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Shannon had incredible communication and put my mind and heart at ease that my 2 cats were in excellent hands. They both clearly received the attention they love, per evidence in the pictures Shannon provided. She also had to clean up a hairball and take out a full litter robot bag to our outside trash. I'm very grateful and thankful for her above and beyond care. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her! Thank you, Shannon!”
“We were very happy with the care Danielle gave our 2 cats while we were away. We really appreciated the detailed reports and photos of her visit. She followed our instructions perfectly and we could tell that Tyler and Sierra felt comfortable with her and looked forward to her visits. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Jackie went above and beyond our expectations for cat-sitting services. She was patient and willing to do a meet and greet before booking, made sure she understood feeding and medical instructions, and offered to take care of other things around the house while we were away. She was prompt and communicative and I’m so glad we booked with her! Will definitely use her services again soon. ☺️”

“Rachel is amazing. She took great care of my Hobey who is a goldendoodle. I knew upon meeting her that she took this would be a great experience for Hobey. She provided videos throughout the day that showed Hobey playing with other dogs, doing tasks that would merit him a treat, and relaxing after some playtime in the backyard. It was nice to see the vids and to see him have a good time. I took him there 3 days in a row and each time he would get excited as we pulled up to her house which made me feel good. I could tell he had an active day when I picked him up cause we would get home and I would feed him and he would sleep for the rest of the night. I was only in Michigan for a week but I will be back to visit family and I will always use Rachel.”
“Maritza did a great job communicating with me for Marlon’s first visit. I am super grateful and glad to know he’s being watched by a thoughtful and caring family.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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:)”
“Sara and her boyfriend did an amazing job hosting and taking off Thor! Sara sent videos and photos of Milo and Thor having fun! Her home was very pet friendly and safe with a fenced yard. Thor hopes to see Milo 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 !
“Stanley had an excellent adventure playing with Teddy and Violet at Laura’s house on Saturday. She was able to accommodate us with very short notice, and kept us updated on his fun day. Did you know that even cousin doodled poodles “recognize” each other? I’m sure they will all meet again.”
“My Rex knew immediately that we were off to see Kristen this morning and that gladdened my heart. I won’t leave Rex with anyone else but Kristen! Many thanks to her. I’m certain today was rather epic for Rex. See you again!”
“Dena and her family did a great job with Biscuit. She was happy and content when I picked her up. It is clear that they provided her with loving care. We will definitely be back.”
“Tara is great! She is super attentive and communicative, which means so much to me as an anxious pet parent. I knew Marlon was in good care even though he might be nervous. She took her time with him and did all she could to help him feel at home.”
“Anthony was great. We did a meet and greet and when I dropped her off the day, he sent me lots of pictures to reassure me Tilly was content and safe. He took her for walks and spoiled her. I plan to use him again. 5 stars.”
“Jessica was amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Kadi was fantastic! So warm and reassuring to talk with, as well as super sweet and patient with our pup. He is a bit weary of men, and unfortunately wasn’t able to relax around Kadi’s husband. She let me know that she wanted to make sure Tito was as comfortable as possible. Kadi went of her way to reach out to her pet sitter, a fellow rover member (without a male in the house ☺️), to see if she would be available and open to taking Tito on for a weekend. She even made sure there was availability for a meet and greet before hand. Kadi went above and beyond and showed us she really cares about the well being of the pets in her care. Thanks a million Kadi!”

“Louie seemed to really love his walks/runs with Kelly. Before the first visit she came by to meet Louie and chat, which was great for a first time Rover user. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Updated for 2026 :) I’m about 3+ years into this Rover journey and truly enjoy it for so many reasons. We always had a dog growing up and I had two labs and two cats in my adult life who have sense “gone to heaven”. Now in an apartment and not able to have pets, sitting has become extra special for me, giving me that dose of animal love that I’ve been missing :) I also work remote, which ensures your pets have a little extra TLC <3 As far as experience - I’ve been around and love puppies but also know the attention and care that older pets need. They are honestly some of my favorites. Having met and worked with lots of sitters for my own pets in the past, I know the importance of finding someone you can trust not only with your pets but also in your home. From giving medicine, to walks and playtime, rolling in the grass and picking up poop, it all comes with the territory that I’m already so familiar and comfortable with. Because I work remotely, meeting your pets needs and sticking to their schedule should be no problem at all! I’d love the chance to meet and care for the animals in your family! My schedule can be flexible, if needed. I work remote so can be around to give your pets all kinds of love throughout the day! I’m happy to take all the walks or throw toys in your yard to keep your dogs happy - whatever is preferred! Staying on their schedule and making sure they have everything they need will be easy as I have lots of practice with my own at home (cat cuddles included) ❤️
“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’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I currently I have very open availability this summer. I will update that as my schedule changes. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of.
“Samantha takes such good care of our dog. She is very reliable, professional and caring. We know Maggie is in good hands during the bookings. We cannot recommend Samantha enough!”
“Lizzi was so amazing with our 10 year old Brussels Griffon Frank! She was both reliable with his walking schedule, and very kind. She gave Frank all the attention we were hoping for (as 1st time Rover users). 5 stars all around and can’t wait to ask her to walk our pup again - thank you Lizzi!”
“Moxie and I just love Allie! She’s great at communication and is super helpful whenever I need her. She goes above and beyond even bringing in my packages from the porch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”
“Alayna is great, my dog is happy, I am definitely rebooking her again. She sent me the cutest photos of my dog, played with him, walked and pet him, and swapped his water more often than I do. Thank you so much”
About: Hi, my name is Carla. I am a 29-year-old Occupational Therapy grad student, marketing professional, and animal lover! I’m located in Royal Oak centrally close to a lot of neighborhoods. I am looking to pick up work to get some time outside more and make some extra money for school. I have always had a pet in the house! Growing up I had a cat and a dog that I was responsible for. I’ve lived with dogs recently, and I currently have my own cat. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer boarding or care at my current apartment, but I am happy to do overnight stays if needed in the client’s home. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I work full-time online so if I needed to work from a clients house or take my lunch break to do a dog walk all of these options are very easy for me to navigate. I would like to do a few dog walks or pet check ins a week, including weekdays or weekends and potentially an overnight once or twice a month . I will not be having pets at my home, but I am very mindful of pet safety whether that be on a walk or at a client’s house. I will ensure to know the temperament of the animal before I arrive. If the animal is afraid of me, I will contact the owner and reevaluate the situation so as to not add additional stress on the animal. As a general rule of thumb when walking a dog if another dog is approaching us, I will cross the street and I always make sure that if I am taking the dog out outside, they are on a leash or in a fenced in area.
“Jeanette is the best. She is so thoughtful in how she takes care of our little monster. Details like throwing ice in his bowl and making sure he is safely taken care of on a hot day mean so much to us. 🐶❤️”
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.
“Had a wonderful experience with Camille. She was able to accommodate walking Lucius last minute, on time and very good with Lucius. He loved the walks! Definitely recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”

“Rachel is the best! Our doodle had a wonderful time with Rachel while we were away. We really appreciated the time Rachel spent and the thoughtful care she showed our doodle. Rachel sent many videos throughout the day and challenged our pup with puzzles and other activities. We had no doubts that she was safe and well looked after. We will definitely rebook!”
“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!”
“Lindsay is a great sitter! My dog has anxiety, so I was worried about leaving him overnight with someone he didn’t know. She made sure he was comfortable and gave me lots of updates to let me know he was doing ok. She sent me pictures and videos of my dog having fun with the other dogs, and it made m really happy to see he was having fun. I’d definitely recommend Lindsay!”
“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!!!”
