“Thank you for taking such good care of Billy & Betty on our extended vacation! I know they both enjoyed staying with you as well as meeting another doggy friend. Communicating with us and sending all the pictures while we were gone really helped because my little nephew was really missing them.”
“We were so excited to book Cynthia for the long Thanksgiving weekend while we went out of town to see family! We have booked Cynthia multiple times and trust her completely with our pup Sonny! She takes great care to create a warm, interactive, and safe environment and to incorporate Sonny’s normal routine into her space. We love receiving daily updates from Cynthia with the best photos to make us feel assured during our time away. She truly is a Star Sitter! ❤️🐕🐾”
“Amanda was very accommodating for our anti-social, lazy senior dog. He had his own private space in her guest bedroom where he could retreat when he needed some quiet. This was our first time using Rover and we were pleasantly surprised — would definitely recommend Amanda for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing with our 1-year old bulldog puppy. She provided updates and pictures that made it clear that our dog was getting a lot of love and attention in Erin's home. Erin also was super flexible and accommodating when our flight was cancelled, which meant we weren't able to pick her up on our scheduled day. We'll definitely be back!”
“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.”
“Couldnt be happier with love and care provided to our Daisy. Daily pics/ videos of both playing in yard and quiet time put our mind at ease. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
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.
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“We had a great experience with them and we will definitely be using them again! They offer a really welcoming space for your pets and you can tell that they care about every one that they take care of. My dogs stayed with them and I could tell by the pictures they had a great time. They weren't even excited to see us when we picked them up after being gone for a week! I was slightly offended but so happy they enjoyed their stay.”
“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!”
“This was my first time boarding with Anthony and was very pleased with my experience. Before the boarding, he offered to bring my dog over for a meet and greet to make sure I was comfortable. During his stay, I got periodic updates and pictures of my dog and Anthony was flexible on pick up and drop off times. There was a nice-sized fenced in backyard so my dog also got plenty of play time during his stay. I’m looking forward to using Anthony again for future stays!”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
“Mack had a great time with April and her family. Pictures were sent each day that put smiles on our faces. Mack totally enjoyed his new canine friends, Ginger and Piper and is looking forward to a return visit. We will definitely be using April again! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great place for their furry friend.”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”
“A C was able to accommodate my last minute request to watch Obie and they sent pictures and took really good care of him while we were away. Will definitely book again with them!”

“Stephanie is the most thoughtful, greatest pet sitter I have ever worked with. Her ability to engage my fluff in playing, pets and her photographer skills are amazing! Thank you, thank you!”
“Stevie was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job attending to our Luna’s needs and ensuring that she was well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be contacting her again when we take our next trip!”
“Carolina was wonderful and extremely kind! She made sure my two cats were well taken care of while I was out of town, giving them fresh food, water, changed their litter, and made sure to give them extra love/pets. She sent me photos everyday. I highly recommend Carolina!!”
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
“Megan was wonderful with my kitties! Pastrami and Blackjack could not have been in better hands! She even put up with vomit and poop outside the box!! I will definitely be using Megan again on any of my future trips!”
“Arianna kept such good care of our cats while we were out of town. She kept us updated with each visit and the place was nice and orderly when we got back. Would recommend her for your needs!”
“Nicole was awesome with Brady, our 15 year old Maine coon cat. We had her come in daily to play with him, to give him some wet food, and to clean the litter box. She exceeded our expectations with not only accomplishing all of those things but sending numerous pictures of Brady playing and being pampered. Thank you Nicole for the extra attention you gave to Brady. It made us feel more comfortable, knowing he was in good hands.”
“Scott goes the extra mile to make sure our skittish cat is well taken care of. She is afraid of everyone - but she has warmed up to Scott. I highly recommend Scott - he’s an excellent pet sitter!”
“Season always does an amazing job. I had to go on a business trip and my cat had a medical issue the day before. I felt secure with Season taking care of him and trusted that she would keep me up to date on how he was doing and make appropriate medical decisions. Thank you so much Season!!”
“Cynthia definitely went above and beyond providing the best care and attention for my cat. Cynthia was very professional and came to meet us before the stay to make sure she understood my cat’s needs. During the stay she made sure my cat was fed, that her litter pan was clean and her water fresh. She played with my cat a lot, which is what she needs! I will definitely ask for her help again. Thank you Cynthia!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have one border collie at home. I’m used to 1+ hour walks multiple times a day (as needed), lots and lots of engaged playtime, and work to put furry family members first! 🐕 🐾 I’m a college student that is currently on summer break; as such, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment (mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc) I make sure keep doors open/headphones off when at home/while dogsitting so that animals don’t have to work to get my attention when they need it—I aim for at least two long walks a day with my high energy dog, with shorter potty breaks interspersed during the day. I understand the importance of accurate portion control for pets and make it a point to keep animals healthy with accurate meal sizes and monitor their water intake throughout the day.
“Brianna always brings my cats the best care when I’m gone and has an elite photo game that perfectly captures my cats’ personalities. She does a great job maintaining the litter boxes and keeping the kitties happy when I’m gone. She makes leaving them a little less difficult.”
“We recently moved and had to find a new sitter, a daunting task. We were so lucky to find Alexis!! She is responsible, kind and trustworthy. Our scaredy-cat kitties took to her without any qualms. We highly recommend Alexis without hesitation and will certainly seek her help again!”

“Lily had a great time at daycare with Jamie. Jamie sent updates throughout the day and we could tell from the pictures how much fun Lily was having with Jamie and playing with Flint.”
“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.”
“This is our second time with Erin and we will definitely come back every single time she is available. Always quick to reply our messages, she has a great attitude and Vincent loves her and his furry friend Monte. Thanks again for taking care of Vinnie.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Anthony was very prompt and responsive to my requests and texts. He was warm and friendly at the meet and greet, and I could tell he genuinely loves the dogs. Quizzle seemed to love it there and was sufficiently tire by all the playing that he rested when he got home that afternoon. I highly recommend Anthony.”
“Sara was amazing! She was available in a pinch for doggy daycare. Our pup truly enjoyed hanging out and having puppy playtime with her dog, Milo! We will definitely be using Sara’s services again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Wonderful fun home for our pup! He has a great time! Highly recommend to others looking for a fun environment for their pup while they are out. We will definitely use them again when we are visiting the area”

“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:)”

“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!”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better walker. He fit Logan into his busy schedule which meant a lot to me. I have tendinitis so I can’t walk my dog right now so trying to find someone to walk him in such short notice wasn’t easy. Definitely a life saver!”
“Very professional! She always arrived on time, gave them good long walks, took pics of their walks, she was even kind to let me know about their bowel movements and health state when applicable, both doggies always returned happy and exercised and looked like they both enjoyed a lot their walks with Gabriela. Highly recommend her a lot!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Very thankful to have found Liz on Rover! My anxious boy warmed up to her almost immediately and she made both of us feel comfortable with having someone new come over and go for walks! Will be a repeat client for sure!”
“Samantha was very kind and caring to my sweet old boy Loukas. She was also very accommodating with my schedule and logistics as we were only in town visiting. I would gladly trust Samantha with Loukas’ care again”
“I can't recommend Ashley enough as a dog walker! She has been walking my golden retriever, Molly, regularly for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Ashley is incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me peace of mind during my busy days. Not only is she friendly and approachable, but her genuine love for dogs truly shines through in her interactions with Molly. It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure Molly is happy and well-cared for during their walks. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy and has a real passion for dogs, look no further than Ashley! She’s fantastic, and I’m so grateful to have her!”
About: I've had animals all my life- 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 guinea pig, 3 hermit crabs, and numerous fish. I now also cat sit for my neighbor and friends when they go on vacations or trips ranging from a day to a week. I make sure I spend lots of time with their furry friends so they don't get lonely and they get the care they need. I am currently in college and working part-time (usually mornings on Thursdays and on Fridays), but my schedule allows me for ample time to check in on the furry buddies on my available days or the nighttime. I love to give my animals lots of cuddles and kisses. I make sure to give them long amounts of pets and love. If a storm is going on, I always make sure to turn on calming animal music and talk them through it. I treat animals like they are people and someone who needs care and love.
About: I’ve always been in love with animals and have grown up surrounded by pets, caring for a bunch of my own over the years. I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior pups with special needs. I focus on creating a routine that keeps each dog happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Walks, playtime, and plenty of attention are always part of the day, and I make sure to communicate regularly so you feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is simple: provide dependable, loving care that gives both you and your dog peace of mind. Pet care is a regular part of my day. I make time for walks, feeding, play, and attention, and I’m flexible to fit each pet’s needs into my schedule. I keep pets safe and comfortable, following their routine and providing supervision, care, and attention in a calm environment whether that be my home or yours!
“Jackson had a nice walk with Kira. She was responsive to communications and took pictures so we could see how happy he was!! Will definitely use again! Thanks, Kira!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs my whole life. Currently have 4 dogs of my own. One of the 4 is a senior dog. I have done beginning training for puppies before they went to their forever homes. Also have experience with dogs that have health conditions and need daily medication. I currently am taking the summer off of work, so I will have all the time in the day to care for and play with your pets! I will regularly let your dog out. If needed, I have experience with e-collars and how to properly use them. I can also crate your dog.
“Sumedha is very dependable even when the weather isn’t ideal. I am very pregnant and a lot less mobile these days, so it means so much to have someone help keep our dogs active. They love her!”
About: I’ve cared for many dogs in their homes and mine. Pets feel safest at home, and I bring calm, loving care they can trust. ❤️ I will work around your schedule - just let me know what you need and we will figure out the details. I am completely flexible. I stay in your home and care for your pets their way - walks, play, special meals - whatever they need to feel safe and happy.
About: Hello, my name is Lauren. I am a pediatric speech and language pathologist looking for a side job that also includes my second passion (animals.) My mother is a vet and I’ve been raised around all breeds/sizes. I currently have one cat named Scout. I am flexible and always patient with animals. I have my own harnesses and leashes if necessary. I enjoy working with all animals and will care for your pets like they are my own fur babies (because I truly know how important and special they are.)

About: Hi, I’m Daniella.. a busy West Bloomfield mom of three with two super-friendly dogs (Fluffy and Frankie!) who absolutely love making new furry friends. I provide premium, reliable in-home pet care in a safe, structured, and loving environment where your pet is treated like part of the family. Our home is full of life, laughter, playtime, and plenty of attention; perfect for dogs who thrive on companionship. With my medical assisting background, I’m confident administering oral medications, monitoring health needs, and giving that extra TLC. Whether it’s daily walks, play sessions, or just cozy couch cuddles, I’ll keep your pet happy, safe, and entertained while you’re away. Let me give your fur baby the personalized care they deserve in our lively family home. Message me to chat or schedule a meet & greet! I’d love to meet you and your pet! As a stay-at-home mom of three in West Bloomfield, I’m home the majority of the day, which lets me give your pet consistent attention, care, and companionship. Aside from quick school drop-offs and pick-ups, my schedule is very flexible for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. Pets in my care are rarely left alone! Because I’m home most of the day as a homemaker, pets in my care are rarely left alone and always supervised. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible; including feeding schedules, medication (I’m experienced with oral meds from my medical assisting background), potty breaks, and play. In our lively family home with two friendly dogs (Fluffy & Frankie), your pet will enjoy a safe, loving environment full of structure, affection, and attention. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with very little traffic, so supervised playtime in the neighborhood (or long 30-foot leash when needed) is a favorite for burning energy safely. I prioritize a calm yet fun atmosphere with constant monitoring.

“Chris and Cass were great! Very patient, kind and flexible. As sweet as our pitbull is, sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter because of the stigma that surrounds the breed.
