“Thank you so much for keeping our baby Xena this past weekend. She had a great time being outside which we do not get to do that often. Constant pictures were a great plus.”
“Amanda did great caring for my dog for 13 days, despite the few issues he had while there, she handled everything great. Will be using again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Thanks Adam and Ying! I left Saginaw with them for a quick 48h work trip. They are my go-to sitters for their flexibility and proximity to my home. Saginaw knows them well and is super excited to go see them!”
About: I am a Michigan transplant and an animal person with years of experience, including as petsitter, aquarist, veterinarian technician, field scientist, and farmer. I’ve worked with all creatures great and small, and am uniquely qualified to take care of your fish tank, farm animals, and exotic pets. I am also an avid organic gardener and I love to grow my own food. I own a quaint cottage home with a fully fenced yard. All animals are allowed on the furniture so that they can indulge in the comfort they deserve. I love taking quirky puppy pics in beautiful places while on hikes and adventures. Playing is a great way to establish trust and blow off steam, and I try to capture that on camera as much as possible. I am an outdoor enthusiasts, and when I lived out West I regularly offered "adventure" packages for dogs who benefitted from extended hikes. My own dog Velma is famous on the lake for being my paddleboard companion! I would love the opportunity to work with elderly or disabled animals, and am competent administering medications. It would be my pleasure to get to know your dog, cat, chicken, shrimp, goat, bird, hamster, and any other critters in your family! Feel free to contact me for references and resume. Animal - and seasonally, garden - services are my fulltime occupation, so the care of your furry family member is my top priority. Because I work for myself, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate my clients' needs. When staying at a client's home, my practice is to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. I value my clients' trust as one of my greatest assets, and can ensure that your home and property will be respected at all times.
“Briana did an amazing job taking care of our high energy hound, Bodie! Getting regular updates, including pictures and video, helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing he was well taken care of and enjoying himself, as well. I would highly recommend Briana and will be using her again! Thank you Briana!”
“Felisha accommodated a very short-notice request after my other dog-care plans fell through. I got updates often & Brody got to play with a husky friend! Will use Felisha again if I get back to the area.”
About: I have over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve lovingly owned three toy poodles, two cats, and a doxie Terrier mix. My little one also enjoys spending time with furry friends and learning how to be gentle and caring with animals. While I plan to welcome another dog into our family in the future, for now I’m excited to help care for and love on other families’ pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship for your pet. I’m available on weekends and two flexible remote-work weekdays. This gives me the ability to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent supervision throughout the day. I have a front and backyard, including a partially fenced backyard area, with plenty of open green space nearby for safe walks and outdoor time. My neighborhood is extremely pet-friendly and surrounded by grassy areas, and a nearby park perfect for walks, fresh air, and new sights and smells to keep your pup happy and engaged. There are always friendly neighbors and fellow dog walkers out and about, making the environment feel welcoming and social for pets. Your dog will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important routines, patience, and comfort are when caring for someone else’s furry family member, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel right at home. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, relaxing walks, or simply having company nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and needs.
“Winston came home a happy dog! He was well cared for. They loved all of his quirky habits. Having him stay at a place where he was comfortable allowed us to have more fun on our vacation.”
About: Erica and I have always loved & had dogs in our homes ever since we were kids. They were family, & we look forward to treating yours like family too. We have a very flexible with my schedule. We enjoy playing nerf dog, frisbie and fetch with the dogs during the day, and spending restful quiet time with them during the evenings. We have a nice sized fenced in backyard for them to play in, as well as a nice indoor sunroom that I have turned into a doggy indoor play area.
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“Chhaya and her family are amazing! Our dog, Mason, absolutely loved his time there. Chhaya sent a lot of pictures which showed how much they spoiled and loved Mason. They threw the ball, cuddled him, and let him sleep on the bed. All of his favorite things! Thank you, Chhaya! I will definitely book again.”
“Sogol was a kind and loving caregiver to my dog. She sent numerous pictures and updates while we were away and even went the extra mile of purchasing a doggy gate to install at her door to alleviate our concerns of our dog running outside. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for your dog”
“Annmarie was excellent and I trusted her 100% with my dog! She had great communication with me and was very quick to respond to me through the app! My dog looked happy in the photos and updates she sent and when I picked him up! She has years of experience with dogs and you can tell! I do highly recommend her and feel lucky to have another safe pet sitter for the future!”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”

“Mackenzie was amazing! We are new to the area and I was a little concerned having someone I never met come over while we were gone. She was so professional and did great with our very shy cat. Usually he won't even come out for people but we could see him waiting for her on the camera, it was so sweet. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!”

“Ari is so fantastic with my boys! She spends extra time with them and makes sure they are well cared for. They both like her, especially my shy orange cat and I can think of no higher praise than that!”
“Sam was great! Came to check on the kitties and made sure they were okay for a couple days while we were gone. Sadly they are shy so they werent out much, but I felt comfort knowing they were okay.”
“Melinda O exceeded our expectations. We have an elderly cat who doesn’t like strangers. Melinda worked hard to gain his trust so that she could finally pet him and give him a necessary medication. We agreed on a 2x per day visit & like clockwork, Melinda delivered. She is experienced, communicates well, and best of all genuinely loves cats & dogs. Highly recommend Melinda O!”
“Stephanie is amazing!!!! She is kind, thoughtful, and amazing with dogs and cats. She watched my grandmas cat for over a week and was so helpful and supportive for the cat. She is experienced in animals and I highly, highly recommend.”

About: I aim to ensure that every dog in my care is taken care of to the fullest extent. Keeping your precious pet safe and loved is my duty. I know just how important dogs are in our lives, so ensuring they get the kind of treatment they get at home is essential. Loving dogs is something that comes second nature to me. Throughout my life, these pets have played a significant role. In my experience, I have watched/raised leader dogs for the blind, my dog, friends/family pets, and my girlfriend's dog often. I have 10+ years of experience working with this beautiful animal, both big and small. When taking on a new client, I'd like to schedule a meet and greet, whether online or in person; that way, we can ensure we're a good fit. That's very important to me, and also, getting able to talk will allow me to learn more about your pet and your care expectations; after all, who knows your pet more than the owner? Lastly, I love meeting new dogs, and they generally like to meet me, so I'd argue your pet, and I will get along incredibly. Being away from your best friend can be really difficult so I make it my goal to communicate as often as possible. I will make sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of all the fun your pup is having.
“This was my first time using Rover and Ashley made it a great experience! She provided great updates and pics of my two cats and made sure my older cat got his meds on time. I’ll definitely book with her again! Thank you Ashley!!”
“I had a short-notice quick trip and Samantha was able to respond and take care of my pets. Her service has been great from the start and this time was no exception.”
“Kristan took care of my senior cat for a long weekend and overall it was a great experience. Communication, timeliness and attentiveness to his conditions were all top notch. I appreciated her efforts to play with him and make him comfortable despite his timidness and anxiety. I would have no issues leaving him in her care again :)”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I often helped care for neighborhood cats while their owners were out of town, and today many of my friends trust me to care for their cats when they travel. I currently have a cat of my own, Kenobi, who has taught me the importance of attentive and compassionate pet care. In 2024, Kenobi underwent surgery for kidney stone removal, and I was heavily involved in his recovery process, including monitoring his health, following veterinary recommendations, administering care, and making lifestyle adjustments to support his long-term well-being. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. I am happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration when needed, and detailed updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

About: I have both personal and professional experience taking care of animals. My experience has been primary with dogs and cats, however, I have looked out for turtles, fish and birds as well. I have a passion for learning and understanding animals. My experience also comes from volunteering with the Humane Society and a local shelter helping caring and socializing cats and dogs. I understand the stress that comes with getting good care for your beloved pet, therefore I take great pride in caring for them as if they are my own. Other hobbies include reading and watching reality TV with my pup. I currently work from home 4 out of the 5 days of the week. I can let your pup out as many times as they need. I don’t have a fenced in yard, so all potty breaks will be done on leash. I have the space to crate if needed, but will need to provide your own.

About: I have rescued three dogs from the humane society ranging from 2 months to 5 years in age. I have done a lot of research on what is and is not good for most dogs as far as diet and nutrition.

“Felisha is an absolute GEM 💎 she took such great care of our baby boy Maverick while my Aunt was watching him for us! I believe Maverick even walked better for Felisha then he does for my husband and I 😂 My Aunt couldn’t say enough great things about Felisha and stated ANYONE in the area that needed some help with their pup 🐶 should use her! Thank you so much Felisha we will definitely use you again!”

About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 4th year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. I am able to watch your pet full time. There will either be me or my husband at home to take care of your pet 24/7. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.
About: I am an animal lover! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am not here for the money but for your babies to have a great experience while you are away. Have had dogs and cats for most of my adulthood. After my last furbaby passed, I decided instead of getting another one, I would share my love with other people's fur babies. I would love to take care of your 4-legged family members and treat your babies as my own. My love and care are endless. I can stay and play with your beloved furbabies all day 7 days a week. Since I work from home, your cat/dog is guaranteed to have companionship around the clock, and I believe dogs and cats are happiest when humans accompany them and show them affection, and play with them. I do prefer your child/dog/cat to come with his/her own food because it's one less thing for them to adjust. I do however have treats and dog food if needed. I will adhere to your instructions to administer food and/or medicine. I work from home currently. So I should be around your fur babies 24/7 except for grocery or eating out when pets are boarding with me or house-sitting for you. I go to Church on Sunday mornings if the stay goes on Sunday. If you need me to drop in at your place or walk your dog, they can be arranged multiple times a day. I don't have pets or children so no worries about your fur friend fitting in. I will attend to your furball without distractions since I only take a single furbaby each time. I live next to a man-made lake, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, I always walk dogs around our neighboring park. So, no accidents should ever happen in this household indoors or outdoors. If I care for your babies at your place, I always respect your property and leave the house in great shape.
About: I have been surrounded by the love of four paws my entire life between friends or family and my own sweet fur babies (and cute gecko).

My flexible career schedule gives me plenty of opportunities throughout the week to provide mindful walks, attentive care, and lots of love for your fur baby! I am mindful of my surroundings at all times to ensure there is safety, which applies for your four legged friend as well with my attentiveness for their care.
About: As a life-long lover of animals, I’ve taken care of my own cats, dogs, horses, birds and other small animals my whole life. I have recently begun pet sitting for others and find that I really enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other people’s pets. I’m currently semi-retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. I’d love to keep them company and make sure they don’t miss any meals while you are away. I will spend time with your pets in your home and send you daily photos so you can see how they are doing while you are away.

I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away.
“Mackenzie is so good with our elderly dog. She patiently walks him at his pace and let him sniff all his favorite spots. We are very happy to have found a compassionate caring person to care for our dog when we can’t be there. We have also had an excellent experience with her watching him for a week at our home and are repeat customers.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as I had two in my home. I also started dog walking/sitting in high school. This was a way for me to connect with animals while also engaging in physical exercise. I love connecting with the animals and ensuring they are taken care of when their owner has limited time! I am currently in school full time, but am able to work 3 times a week, or however many days are needed. My schedule is pretty flexible! First and foremost, I respect the owners items. I don’t cross boundaries and I abide by the rules. If respect is shown it is reciprocated which is necessary when working with others. I ensure I clean up and leave the place as I found it or better!
“Kira has been so fantastic with Doug, The Cooper, and Moshi. We could not be more pleased. She uses the Rover app to let us know when she arrives, how long Doug is on his walk, his “action” and the photos are priceless. We will continue to use her as long as possible. A+”
“Misty was great! She cared for my two dogs for an evening at her house which has a fenced yard so they could be outside much of the time, which they love. She was very loving and caring, and took great care of them. Highly recommended!”
“So grateful to have Autumn coming everyday to walk the dogs and feed them. She is punctual, provides a great report and takes pix every time. She has also been so helpful and added services we needed added on last notice. We feel very comfortable and the dogs love her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years through family, friends, and neighbors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing exercise, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I currently have a mini goldendoodle who is enrolled in therapy dog training, which has given me additional experience with positive reinforcement and understanding canine behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays, allowing me to provide extra attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship during the day. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Bloomfield Hills with access to a dog park and plenty of walking paths, making it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. As a dog owner myself, my home is clean, safe, and designed with pets in mind. My mini goldendoodle, Marlow, is friendly and social, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing supervision, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests. I understand that some pets are most comfortable in their own environment, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have always known the love of having a pet. Whether that was hamsters, reptiles, cats, dogs, and even hermit crabs. I have found love for each individual species, including snakes! I have been training my previous dog since I was 15 and was able to teach her to sit, shake, and release. I currently have a senior cat who is prone to seizures and is partially blind and deaf. I have been caring for him for 6 years now and he is my everything. I am currently pursuing my masters degree and am interning as well so my schedule can be tight sometimes! I will communicate with you if there are any scheduling conflicts. I can shift around my schedule where needed so let's talk more about what you need and we can work through it together to make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I can care for your best friend in whatever is best suited their needs. For my cat, Peanut, he receives oral liquid medication 3x a day at strict times.

If an animal needs any special care, I will pay close attention to the instructions to make sure they receive the best care possible.

If your pet is nervous I am good about letting it warm up to me! I also try to provide as many pictures As possible so you can see your loved one is safe with me.

“Thank you so much for keeping our baby Xena this past weekend. She had a great time being outside which we do not get to do that often. Constant pictures were a great plus.”
“Amanda did great caring for my dog for 13 days, despite the few issues he had while there, she handled everything great. Will be using again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks Adam and Ying! I left Saginaw with them for a quick 48h work trip. They are my go-to sitters for their flexibility and proximity to my home. Saginaw knows them well and is super excited to go see them!”
“Felisha accommodated a very short-notice request after my other dog-care plans fell through. I got updates often & Brody got to play with a husky friend! Will use Felisha again if I get back to the area.”
“Winston came home a happy dog! He was well cared for. They loved all of his quirky habits. Having him stay at a place where he was comfortable allowed us to have more fun on our vacation.”
About: Erica and I have always loved & had dogs in our homes ever since we were kids. They were family, & we look forward to treating yours like family too. We have a very flexible with my schedule. We enjoy playing nerf dog, frisbie and fetch with the dogs during the day, and spending restful quiet time with them during the evenings. We have a nice sized fenced in backyard for them to play in, as well as a nice indoor sunroom that I have turned into a doggy indoor play area.
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”
“Laura was an amazing sitting. Our cats loved her and her family. She regularly sent updates with pictures. Fast reply and got our cats ready before we came to pick them up. Will definitely will return. 10 stars!!”
“Angela and Dave are ANGELS! They cared for Tasha as if she were their own baby! Not only was the care and companionship above and beyond, they made the extra efforts to contact me on any concerns/clarification, welcomed me to thrir home to swing by and check on Tasha, and texted daily photos, videos, and messsages!!!! They made Tasha feel like she was at the spa! I’m DEEPLY touched and EXTREMELY blessed by their efforts and care!!!! I will Definitely contact them for my future trips to Michigan!!!”
“Best decision I ever made to book not only through Rover but with Mayrannie. She was absolutely wonderful sent me pictures and updates on how he was adjusting everyday. She was so so sweet to my boy!! I know he had a great time there because when I picked him up he was so happy and he was so exhausted from playing with her dogs. He's been passed out since we brought him home. We will definitely bring him there again. Thank you so much for everything we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries knowing he was happy and being taken good care of.”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“I’m always worried for my almost 18yr old dog when it’s time to board her somewhere. Her sight and legs are weak. She doesn’t eat well when she’s not home so I want her to feel comfortable where she’s at. Vinata and family were so accommodating to her needs that she seemed so comfortable and relaxed in all the pictures and video. They were so caring and observant to her, they found a way for her to eat and fulfill her needs. So glad bobo was well taken care of.”
