“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“My dogs had a great time this weekend at Baileys! I will definitely call Bailey again for help when I’m out of town. She was kind and welcoming and my dogs were at home within minutes!”
“Angie and her family took good care of my parent's dog, Murphy. She sent daily photos of the dog and shared some of their activities. Angie was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book her again to care for Murphy. I highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
“Great experience. Pickup and drop off were timely, Jason understood what we were asking for with our senior pup, and everything worked out swimmingly. 10/10, would book again. We even got photos while we were gone. I always appreciate that.”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Melissa and her dog, Willow, provided great care and company for Milo when he went there for a sleepover. She was more than happy for us to go for a visit before the sleepover and I could tell right away that Milo would be comfortable and happy. When we went back, he knew where we were and was excited to see them again. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Brittany and Steven are very welcoming and super nice. I felt their love for what they are doing. They took very good care of shadow and I was updated twice a day with pictures of him playing and having fun. The pictures were in fact some of the best pictures I got for him. Great People, flexible with pick up and drop off and I got to get home with a box of fresh baked doggy biscuits.”
“Molly does an EXCEPTIONAL job with our home and pets every time. She follows our routine and keeps everything in order while we are away and can relax and trust everything is well cared for. We cannot recommend her and her talent with animals enough. She is beautiful inside and out and gifted with love for pets and plants! 15/10!!”

“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

About: Hello, my name is Bailey & I’m highly experienced with animals. I’ve been watching and taking care of animals for about 10 years now! I’d say watching any animals needed is my passion. I absolutely love animals! I am currently offering walking, boarding, Day Care & Drop in Visits & open to any other requests you may be needing as well! I have my own transportation and I’m a non smoker. I’m willing to love your pet as if it was mine! Let me get to know your fur babies today! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine whenever it is needed. I currently have a work from home job so I am available 24/7. I am currently offering Walking, Boarding, Daycare & Drop in Visits. I care for pets in my home by making sure the pets are comfortable in the environment and by allowing them to make themselves at home. I care for pets in clients homes the way that they are used to being cared for. I ensure the pets are comfortable in their own environments and that they are being cared for just as if their families were to be home with them.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, chickens, and ducks over the course of my life, and I'm more than happy to add the fuzzy critters in your home to that list! I currently work full-time, but I can always spare time to take care of any animal! My days off of work are Wednesday and Thursday, so on those days I can spend as much time as is needed! I will give your pets all the care they deserve and then some. I follow all instructions left by the owner at their house, and am used to comforting pets that may have some anxiety.
About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
About: I have over 5 years of professional pet care experience and as an emergency veterinary nurse. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I currently work midnights only three days a week, so it is easy for me to make time to drop into your home when needed. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to try to keep their routine and to make it as stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions, if provided, for walks, play time, and any special routines they may have.
“Kiara took care of my two cats during the Christmas and New Years holidays this year and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She did everything I asked her to, and played with the kitties as much as she could. Came back to find them as happy as ever. Would certainly book again.”
About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.
About: I will treat your pets like they are part of the family. Making sure your dog gets the play time needed to stay happy. I am home full time and can work most schedules. I have worked for a groomer and vet so I have experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I am willing to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. I am home full time, and can work around whatever times you need. Also can do multiple visits a day if that is something needed. I will make sure to take the time to learn your routine, and anything else I need to know to make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable.
About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

About: I have over 5 years of professional pet care experience and as an emergency veterinary nurse. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I currently work midnights only three days a week, so it is easy for me to make time to drop into your home when needed. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to try to keep their routine and to make it as stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions, if provided, for walks, play time, and any special routines they may have.

I am comfortable with walking, sitting, feeding, giving medication etc. I hope that I can provide reliable and safe care for your beloved animals and make their experiences better. I can provide walks, drop-ins and pretty much anything else someone may need. I hope that I can provide excellent services for the pet and owner respectively. I am located in Macomb County.

About: I grew up with dogs, and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Genesee County in Michigan as a teenager and at Soul Dog Rescue in Colorado as an adult. I have experience walking and handling all kinds of dogs and I've loved every minutes of it! I'm a WFH tech research worker so I understand the importance of routine and responsibility when it comes to care services. My apartment complex now sadly doesn't allow dogs otherwise I would have one of my own. The silver lining is that I'll use that energy to love and care for your pup as my own :). I have a full time work from home job so my hours are flexible during the week to attend to your pup! I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space. I love to keep routines as normal and expected as possible, so I'm likely to ask questions about what your dog expects on a day-to-day basis so I can reduce disruption and be a source of fun/comfort for your pet.

“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“My dogs had a great time this weekend at Baileys! I will definitely call Bailey again for help when I’m out of town. She was kind and welcoming and my dogs were at home within minutes!”
“Angie and her family took good care of my parent's dog, Murphy. She sent daily photos of the dog and shared some of their activities. Angie was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book her again to care for Murphy. I highly recommend her! 🐾”

About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
“Great experience. Pickup and drop off were timely, Jason understood what we were asking for with our senior pup, and everything worked out swimmingly. 10/10, would book again. We even got photos while we were gone. I always appreciate that.”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Melissa and her dog, Willow, provided great care and company for Milo when he went there for a sleepover. She was more than happy for us to go for a visit before the sleepover and I could tell right away that Milo would be comfortable and happy. When we went back, he knew where we were and was excited to see them again. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Brittany and Steven are very welcoming and super nice. I felt their love for what they are doing. They took very good care of shadow and I was updated twice a day with pictures of him playing and having fun. The pictures were in fact some of the best pictures I got for him. Great People, flexible with pick up and drop off and I got to get home with a box of fresh baked doggy biscuits.”
“Molly does an EXCEPTIONAL job with our home and pets every time. She follows our routine and keeps everything in order while we are away and can relax and trust everything is well cared for. We cannot recommend her and her talent with animals enough. She is beautiful inside and out and gifted with love for pets and plants! 15/10!!”
“5 stars!! Allie was really nice and treated our dog like family. She was super accommodating and, took amazing care of Buddy, even after giving birth during our reservation!! I highly recommend Allie!!”

I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!
“Brandon was FANTASTIC with Sadie and Trixie. They were so excited to see us when we picked them up, but in a way we could tell they were super well cared for. They kept running back to Brandon to make sure he was good and telling him goodbye in their own way. We can tell they developed a great bond and consider him family. They were exhausted and slept the whole way home. This tells us they got tons of good playtime in. Communication was great. We will absolutely have Brandon watch our fur kiddos next time we need to go out of town.”
