“Amanda is the BEST!!!!! I was very worried about leaving my puppy for the first time ever. Wasn’t sure if I could trust anyone with him while I was out of the country. Amanda put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My puppy loved her at first site and she loved him. It put my mind at ease. I must say he was just as happy when I left him as when I picked him up. I think Amanda is his new best friend!!! Thank you Amanda for the special care and security you gave Zane!!!! You truly have a soft spot for pets! Amanda is top notch!!!!!”
“Dena was fantastic! Potter had the best time with her and her family. He played hard and was so well loved during his entire stay.

I couldn’t recommend her and her family enough! THANKS DENA!”

“Lauren & Cris were very kind and sweet. They agreed to booking, even within a short time frame. They were very welcoming and kept me informed with many pictures of coco. Coco seemed to love her time with them as she had plenty of time and fun playing outside in their fenced in backyard. I would definitely book with them again.”

“Ariana was amazing once more! We were out of town for an extended period of time (13 days) and she provided updates the whole way through. I felt that she was able to give our dog attention and make him feel right at home. When I came to pick him up, he was in a very happy mood! Would highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Tory’s family took such great care of Louie! Treated him like their own. I received lots of photos and videos while I was traveling for work and it eased my worrying a lot. I appreciate your care of my precious baby!”

“Caitie was simply amazing with my 2 year old tortie cat Temperance. She needs a lot of play and hang time, Caitie was so attentive and sweet with her. Caitie’s communication was impeccable and the pictures I received were so cute. Thank you!!!”
“Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈”
“Cheyenne did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She went the extra mile and cleaned their litter boxes (even though it totally wasn't necessary), took tons of pics and spent extra time giving them lots of love and scritches. Absolutely would book again!”
“Chelsea was a perfect fit to check in on my two cats while I was out of town! She took great care of them and the Rover cards are a nice addition to the experience. I will definitely be asking her to come back in the future.”
“Mary Kay was great to work with. She was quick to respond from beginning to end and even scheduled a pre visit to get to know the house and our cat. Would definitely recommend.”
“Tina took great care of my two kitties, and took her time to establish trust with my shy one. She was great with communication and sent me pictures after each visit. I highly recommend her!!”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“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.”
About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking.
“Sheila was great with my two cats while I was away for a week! Lots of updates & photos, everything was kept super clean & she even dealt with some upset stomach situations. She socialized and played with my most social cat & took time to bond with my skittish who actually came out for pets at one point - which is a rarity. I came home to two happy cats! I would 100% recommend her & will book again in the future!”
“Randi came through for me at the last minute and was absolutely excellent. Punctual and attentive. Randi checked in on time and provided updates/photos during each visit to my cat, Bob. Would certainly recommend Randi's services to anyone else and would not hesitate to hire again. Grateful and appreciative 🙂”
“Evelyn is a favorite of ours and our cats adore her. She’s super communicative and attentive to all their needs. We are a repeat customer and will continue seeking her out to care for our girls.”
“Migo appreciates you being there for him while he was scared in the storm, all the goodies you give him and the quality playtime. Thanks again for taking great care of him while we had to go out of town!”
“Jeannette provides great updates and so much peace of mind that our cat is in great hands. On top of taking great care of pets, she takes great pictures as well!”
“Megan was excellent! She watched after my extremely shy cat while I was gone on vacation for a week. She sent me daily updates about how my cat was doing, and went the extra mile to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be during his stay away from home.”
“Breanna was an amazing house sitter and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was gone! She was super communicative and very patient with my energetic kitty - would definitely recommend her services!”

“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.”
“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:)”
“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.”
“Rachel is quite possibly the sweetest person I’ve ever met, and it’s clear that she was born to take care of dogs. Our dog can be quite anxious and usually takes a bit to acclimate to new environments, but it was clear that he immediately felt at ease and right at home with Rachel and the other pups. She is so kind and sweet with our boy, and I love that she provides engaging and enriching activities even beyond just romping in the huge yard. I feel so at ease knowing my boy is happy, loved, and taken care of while he is with Rachel!”
“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”
“Had a great 1st time visit with Karen. My dog Zoe has some anxiety but I noticed right away that she seemed comfortable in Karen's home. She spent the day with Karen. I got a photo and a nice update during the day . When I picked Zoe up she was happy to see me and was very content. In the past when I boarded her she came home and seemed very nervous for a while but staying with Karen for the day she seemed very much at ease. I am very happy to have found Karen and I feel comfortable trusting her with fur baby.”
“Our 3 pugs had an excellent time at “day camp” with Erin and her husband. Erin sent us lots of photos. When we are in the area again, we will definitely be using them again! Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“Megan was outstanding with Roman. She took great care of him and he was happy to go back and be with her every morning. She also kept me updated with photos and comments throughout the day. Overall, an excellent experience and I will definitely be using her again the next time I am in the Detroit area. Thanks so much, Megan!”
“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.”
“Jessica is 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!”
“Had a great experience with David! He was incredibly kind and flexible. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy—taking her for a car ride, going on walks, and giving her plenty of attention. It was clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
“Laura was so great with our 1 year old pup. She took her on adventures out and about, sent pics and videos, and was just so easy to work with. We'll definitely contact Laura again soon!”

“Izzy is completely trustworthy, reliable, and caring. She gave my dog (and surprise cat), lots of attention and affection. She even worked on some dog training in my absence, which was totally unexpected. I will absolutely ask for her help again .”
About: I currently live with 3 dogs and 2 cats with plenty of time for more. I have fostered both kittens and puppies for over 10 years. I am retired and looking for furry friends. I have plenty of time on my hands to love and care for my own pets and yours…. I am willing to come to your home or welcome your pet to mine. My pets are very friendly. I have a spare room and a basement with crates, pet gates and a fenced in backyard.
“Jeannette is GREAT! Her pictures, videos, and report cards crack us up! We know our dog had the best time with her and we were at ease knowing he was safe. We will definitely be using her again :)”
About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
“Miryam is such a great person, she’s wonderful with our high energy, sometimes sensitive doggo! She also takes amazing pics of your pup. Always happy with the time our dog gets to spend with her. Hire her!”
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.
“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

“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.”
About: I've been a dog mom to a spoiled little guy for 9 years. My dog has medical issues so I have plenty of experience administering medication. I also have 3 years of cat sitting experience, including litter box cleaning, feeding, and administering medication. I also love bugs! On the off chance you have any you need help with, I'd be honored. I love animals and I'm excited to meet yours! I have a very open schedule and I'm very flexible. The biggest thing I need to work around is medical appointments, but once I have you on schedule I can book them around your visit! Your pets safety is just as important as the safety of my own pet. I'll make sure any needs they have are met, especially for disabled pets!
“Sherice was very professional and has great communication. She was very sweet with Hades and he seems to really like her. Hades is looking forward to seeing her in the near future. Thanks!”
“Michelle is nothing short of amazing , she is reliable , attentive and truly cares for my princess comfort , I know princess is in good hands when she’s with Michelle , highly recommended.”

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 hired Cindy to walk our pup while we were on vacation. I was a little worried because we have an anxious pup who can be easily overwhelmed and slow to warm up to people. Cindy was great with him! By 2 days in he was so excited for his walks he was waiting for her at the door when she arrived. She gave him the time he needed to stop and sniff which helps him decompress. Since he is part lab she really tapped into those personality traits by walking him near water and places where he could see, smell and hunt around for small animals. She was punctual and sent pictures as well as a map of his walks everyday. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: Current humane society volunteer and foster! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8 years old. I have raised and trained puppies, rescue dogs, and dogs with all kinds of temperaments and personalities. I understand the psychology of dogs as well as breed-specific needs and characteristics. I will treat your family member with care, respect, kindness, and love. I have plenty of availability to take care of your dogs or cats! I am very flexible and willing to work with you and your families needs. As an experienced dog sitter, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment where your dog feels at ease and cared for. You can trust that I will treat your furry companion with the same respect, love, and attention they receive at home, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.

“We’ve left our shepherd with Chris and Cassandra a handful of times this summer and every single time has been stellar. Very knowledgeable and keeps us very updated with our shepherd’s wellbeing.

“Robert was absolutely amazing! Max can be a difficult dog for others to deal with. From asking questions prior to booking until we picked up Max the last day, Robert was so nice and easy to communicate with. Robert sent pictures and updates frequently while we were on vacation which gave us comfort knowing Max was being well taken care of and cared for. I’d definitely rebook with Robert again!!”
“Katherine and her family were great. It was my first time leaving my baby with strangers. We had a meet and greet and met the whole family. Getting pictures during Ksylee's visit and seeing her looking relaxed and comfortable were comforting to me. I will definitely use again.”
“Sydney was very friendly and helpful in this experience. This was the first time we left our puppies to go overnight. Sydney kept us updated with pictures and messages. She listened tentatively and followed directions. If we ever need a pet sitter again I would feel comfortable to call Sydney. Thank you so much! The puppies also liked her so that’s a good sign as well.”
“Kimberly took such great care of my two girls. I couldn’t ask for a better person to leave them with. We were gone for a long trip and she always sent pics and cute videos to fill our hearts while we were missing them! Could not recommend her enough. So grateful we found her!”
