“Natalia is a fantastic dog boarder! Both she and her husband were so welcoming and took excellent care of Whiskey. I especially appreciated how accommodating and flexible they were with my pick-up and drop-off schedule. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Steven went above and beyond to ensure Baylee was comfortable, happy, and well-loved. He was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up. We received regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We returned home to a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a awesome dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Angela is communicative, kind and friendly. I’ve never used Rover before and I am so happy I did. My dog Sammy is high energy and a bit needy so I was nervous. But it worked out great and I was so glad to see everyday that Sammy was in great hands and having fun. A++++ THANK YOU”
“We were very pleased with Breanna. She took excellent care of our doggie. She replied quickly each time we reached out and sent pictures daily. Drop off and pick up were smooth. We are about to book our next two out of town events with her now.”
“Second time they’ve watched my baby and they’ve become my favorite sitters! They take the best care of my baby and have amazing communication. My flight was delayed and they were so kind and flexible in letting me pick him up. Highly highly recommend :)”
“I will definitely continue to bring my pups to Tracey for boarding! I received daily updates and felt I could easily reach her at anytime. My dogs received all the attention, play, and napping they need and I could tell Tracey paid attention enough to know their personalities well. She even had helpful recommendations for assisting my younger pup with with behavioral training.”
“Provided great care to our Boston terrier who has separation anxiety. Replied very quick and was flexible with pick up/drop off times which was so helpful! Would book again for sure! :)”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Theresa and Adrian were wonderful with my dog TJ! Their home is truly perfect for dogs and they were super communicative throughout our stay. Will be booking with them in the future! :)”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABOVE & BEYOND If you are looking for a place to board your baby, stop scrolling right now. Seriously. You’ve found the best of dog boarding! Brandon doesn't just "watch" dogs—he basically invites them to a 5-star bootcamp where they also learn how to be the "Goodest Boys and Girls" in existence. Why your dog will love him (and you will too): * The Training Magic: The passion for training is real! * The Vibe: Most boarders are "drop-off and pray." Here? It’s pure love. * Best in Town: No competition. None. Zero. If you want your pup to have a better vacation than you're having, this is the spot. I’d give it 12 stars if Rover let me. Absolute legend! 🐾”
“Jessica was fantastic. Our little girl Yogi stayed for a few days. It was tough leaving her, but Jessica made it easy for us. Jessica was friendly and communicative. Jessica made Yogi feel comfortable and like part of the pack. We got daily photos and/or videos and you could tell Yogi was happy and having fun. Jessica gave us a peace of mind and we are honestly so thankful to have found her. 100000000% recommend Jessica to all "pet parents." Thank you, Jessica and fur babies!”
“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Abbey was wonderful! I’m always nervous about leaving our sweet Goldendoodle with people but I felt completely comfortable during our time away and knew Abbey was taking the best care of him. Ford is pretty great too!”
“My dog Marty loves staying with Erika! Erika is a great sitter and I always rebook with her. She was kind to accommodate in a short notice given. I highly recommend Erika! 👌”
“This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!”

“Kristina was amazing with my adult cat. She communicates well, sends photos and videos of my cat, and goes above and beyond in making sure you know your cat is being cared for.”
“Cheryl is AWESOME! She was wonderful with our senior cat including being very accommodating to his temperamental ways and also administering medication. Cheryl went above and beyond in every aspect and will be my first contact next time we go out of town.”
“Monica is fantastic! She sent really great detailed updates with lots of photos. It was Rio's first time with a sitter and you could tell she just had so much fun with Monica. Monica made sure that all 3 of our cats got plenty of attention equally and found different ways of entertaining them with various toys and treat feeders. She followed all instructions and even brought in our packages. Thanks so much!”
“JJ went above and beyond, sending me updates and plenty of pictures of my cat! It was such a relief to know my cat was taken great care of while I was away!”
“I STRONGLY recommend Heather for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their pets. I am so pleased with the care she gave my cats while I was recently on vacation and I will definitely be contacting her first when making future plans. I am thrilled to have found her. Heather’s communication skills are perfect, both before and during my vacation. The reports and pictures she sent each day really eased my worries about leaving my pets for the first time. I didn’t know what to expect. My two cats are very different and I assumed they’d both be scared and hiding all week because neither is very social. But she got to know them (on their terms) and by the end of the week they were actually accepting pets. I was shocked and so pleased. And lastly, Heather is a very smart and kind person, which means a lot to me. In addition to the wonderful care she gave my cats, Heather was also very respectful of my home and of my time.”
“Abbey did a wonderful job checking in on my two cats—one full-grown, one a kitten just recently introduced to the household. I've already booked again for an upcoming trip! You can tell she just loves animals in all shapes and forms. She even washed the wet food dishes; it's the little things!”
“Tara's the best! She visited my high-energy cat while I was away for a long weekend, giving him much-needed playtime and providing excellent updates along the way.”
“My very shy cats warmed up to Chetoya very quickly! She was consistent, thorough and thoughtful in her care. I appreciated her daily photos and check-ins with my two floofs. She always responded immediately if I had questions. Thank you, Chetoya!??”
“This was our first time using the Rover platform and we were very happy with the results, and that of course can be pretty much attributed to the great and kind service we received from Joshua. We had a sudden death in the family and needed to travel abroad at short notice and when we put out the request Joshua was very responsive and asked to do a meet and greet before confirming the booking. We thought this was great, as it gave all parties the chance to test the waters, especially our two cats, Karl and Debbie - it gave Joshua a chance to meet them, and them the chance to meet him, and also of course it gave us the chance to meet with Joshua and learn about the process, show him around the house, and make sure all were feeling great. Joshua sent detailed updates along with pictures. We have a very shy little cat, and even though she didn't quite break open her shell and hang out with Joshua, he was very kind in approaching her with caution and waiting around a bit longer to give her the chance to come out. During a period of great pain and grief for our family, Joshua really helped ease our minds when it came to leaving our fur family at home. Thank you Joshua!”
“Amy and James were amazing in providing care for my two babies. Finding cat sitters as well as those experienced with providing medication is so difficult, it was a relief to have met and been reassured of this prior to my trip. My cats were in great spirits upon my return, clearly benefiting from their TLC was I was gone. Couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Khelsi cat sat for me for 21 days over the winter break. My cat is shy but she warmed up to Khelsi within a few days and began playing with her. Khelsi was very communicative with me throughout my time away and sent me lots of pictures and updates despite the fact that I was in a very different time zone and could not always respond to her right away. She also periodically cleaned up around my apartment and left a sweet gift for my cat and me when she left. This was my first long trip away from my cat and stopped being anxious about her because I knew she would be safe and cared for with Khelsi watching her. Thank you for everything, Khelsi!”
“Lauri is great with our cats and we are so happy to have her as our sitter. I always feel at ease leaving our cats in her care, as she is reliable, communicative and thorough. Both of our cats are comfortable with her as well - including one who is aging and has an ever growing list of medications and quirks that Lauri is patient and wonderful about. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi, I’m Megan — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet care provider based in beautiful East English Village. I live with my two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other calm, respectful pups. I provide a personalized, low-volume boarding experience from my home, where your dog becomes part of our little pack. My services are designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. I only board one guest dog at a time, ensuring constant supervision, individual attention, and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, a walk while you’re at work, or overnight care, I treat every animal like one of my own — with affection, patience, and professional care. I provide updates with every visit, and I’m happy to accommodate custom routines, feeding schedules, and medication administration when needed. Let’s schedule a free meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life — I structure my routine around it. With two dogs of my own, I’m already up early for walks, feeding, and snuggles. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit my boarding and walking services to just a few clients at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full focus without being overbooked or rushed. Whether I’m doing a drop-in visit, hosting a pup overnight, or stopping by for a midday walk, I plan my calendar so your pet gets reliable, unrushed, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in yours. BOARDING AT MY HOME: When boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment by only accepting one guest dog at a time. This allows me to give each pet plenty of individual attention and supervision throughout the day. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to having guests and do best with other well-mannered pups. I take time to carefully introduce everyone, and I require a meet-and-greet prior to first-time bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up with cozy resting areas, a large and securely fenced outdoor space, and plenty of enrichment opportunities like walks, playtime, and snuggles. I also follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible to make their stay feel familiar and reassuring. FOR DROP INS I aim to maintain your pet’s routine in their own environment, minimizing disruption and providing consistent care. I refresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and always leave your home secure and tidy. I also provide visit updates with photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Building trust through consistent, compassionate care is what I do best. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, they’ll be treated like family.
About: I cannot remember a time that I have not had a little cat buddy in my home. Cats were my first emotional support animal growing up and as a therapist I understand and value them as beings that have helped me and my clients through some of the hardest times in life. I love learning about their individual personalities, temperaments, and needs and will work hard to do the same for your companions.
About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.
“Very reliable and professional. We will definitely ask for Nicoletta’s help again! My dogs loved her the second she walked in the door. They’re a little wild but she was great with them.”
“Keira did a great job taking care of my rescues, a 13-year-old boxer mix and a 2-year-old mastiff mix, on very short notice and provided up to four drop-in visits to let them out, walk them, and feed them. She provided plenty of communication and came over the day before my early-morning departure flight to meet with me, the dogs, and get to know them, my house, and the neighborhood, which was great. My son had been watching them for the past two years, so I hadn't needed anyone else. But he's going away to college, and I needed to find someone reliable and local, and I'll definitely use Kiera going forward! I'm so grateful I found her on Rover and look forward to having her help again.”
About: Cats are wonderful and special creatures, and I truly believe they deserve patience, care, and plenty of love. I’m a proud cat mom to Samson, who I care for and look after every day. I’d love to bring that same care and attention to your cat while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have spent the last 10 years rescuing and fostering animals, mostly cats & dogs. This experience has given me the opportunity to care for animals of varying age, size and temperament level. I comfortable caring for a multi-pet household as well! I currently work a very flexible part time job, which allows me to have some availability during nights and weekends. I would love to spend that time with your pets! I have offered in home services for clients in the animal care pet field. I am comfortable watching over the house and the fur babies!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have pet sit for many friends throughout the years as well as taken care of my own dogs!

“Our pup had a great time with Natalia and her family. She was so happy she didnt want to leave and was so tired from playing all day. Highly recommend, we will definitely rebook with her!”
“Tracey is phenomenal! There were a few weeks where work/school took over my schedule and I had to drop off the pups at Tracey’s nearly every single day. And every single day I felt a huge peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Tracey went above and beyond to not only watch the pups but make note of any health or behavioral cues that I should be aware of. I will continue to utilize her services and am so glad I found her through the app! 1000% recommend for daycare, boarding, and beyond!!”
“Tara took great care of our dog Marvin—this was the second time they’ve watched him, and both experiences have been excellent. They were responsive, reliable, and clearly have a natural way with animals. Marvin was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and excited to return for his second stay, which says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again and highly recommend them as a sitter.”
“Rafael was amazing with my dog. He took care of him with ease. Rafael also took my dog for walks which was great exercise. Right before picking my dog up. Rafael made sure to take Columbus out so that he can be comfortable on the drive back home. Rafael would constantly update me with what's going on and would also snap pics of my dog enjoying. Thanks again hermano! Gracias para todos”

“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!”

Hi, I’m Monica DeSpain— a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud pet mom to one sweet senior dog and three quirky cats. I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. My background includes 5 years working at two veterinary hospitals as a veterinary assistant, volunteering at the animal shelter, and fostering pets in my home. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in animal care long before I officially started offering pet sitting. Since August 2024, I’ve been providing trusted, compassionate pet sitting services to families in the Grosse Pointe area. I also currently run a small online business from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday and weekend visits, dog walking, and personalized drop-in care. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets — not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for love, attention, and consistency. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level — and I meet them where they’re at. Whether it’s energetic play, gentle senior care, medication routines, or just being a calm presence, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs.

“Heather was awesome! Rocket was super excited to meet her during the first visit and I knew it will be smooth sailing the rest of the way. Great pictures and videos during walks, good communication to let me know how everything went and very quick to respond. Will recommend Heather to anyone that needs their pet walked or watched for a period of time. Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.”
About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.
“Tara has been amazing with my eight-month-old puppy, Rosie! On the days I have a 90+ minute commute, I know Rosie is in great hands. Tara makes sure she’s walked, played with, and has everything she needs, including food and water. She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and someone I trust completely. Tara continues to be my go-to for pup care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”
“Peyton was absolutely wonderful! I’m so thankful she was able to help me when I needed it the most. She was incredibly sweet and kind, both to me and to Georgia, and I felt so comfortable having Georgia in her care. She kept me updated constantly and sent me lots of pictures, which I absolutely LOVE because being able to see Georgia while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. 🥹 She took such great care of her, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Georgia too! She was so easy and fun to work with, and I had such a great experience with her. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. I’m so grateful for all her help! ❤️🐶”
“Megan helped out giving our big baby his walks this week. She was great and Bennie (our 100 lb rottie) quicklyfell in love. He was looking out the window longingly for her by day 2. Thank you, Megan!”
“Nia was wonderful! She took care of my Zayle on short notice. Zayle still acts like a puppy and Nia was capable and comfortable with that type of energy and behavior. Nia was nice, professional and right on time. 10/10 the best the app has to offer! I’ll be booking with Nia again soon :)”
