“Absolutely wonderful experience. My first time using a sitter so I was nervous and she made me feel like we were family. Provided pictures, updates and recommendations. Can’t thank her enough for everything, down to accepting our last minute reservation.”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Anthony did an outstanding job watching my dog diego! We came in for a last minute trip with family, he updated me with photos very frequently so I felt comfortable knowing he was safe and having a good time. Highly recommend, Diego is now sound asleep on our way back home.”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Jess took great care of my boy, Drake. I really appreciated her kindness, care and flexibility w/ taking Drake last minute. Whenever I’m in Detroit, I will definitely be utilizing her services again. Highly recommend!!!!”

“We read great reviews about Nicolle and they were not wrong our mocha baby loved her and she made us feel at peace that Mocha was in good hands. Thank you to Nicole and her family”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“It was our first time leaving our dogs overnight, and it seems like they had a great time! We were certainly at ease leaving them with Emily after outstanding experiences with day boarding. We received photos daily and communication was easy. So happy to have found someone who will tolerate my numbskulls aha.”
“Pallavi was super amazing with my Faith. She followed all my instructions and always reached out to me if she needed any clarification or simple sending me updates. I definitely recommend her and Faith will definitely be going back, as long as she is available. Thanks again”
“2nd time with Amanda and we are just as happy as the first. She took great care of our dog. Very loving to him and we received multiple pictures thru his stay. She is a very caring dog sitter. Would use her again and again!”
“I had to find a last minute sitter because the one I initially booked had a family emergency. Kerri to the rescue! To say I was nervous is an understatement since I don’t normally have my dog stay with a sitter that watches other dogs at the same time but she communicated great throughout the stay and made sure that the dogs all stayed safe. I’ll definitely be using kerri again in the future!”
“Vanessa is wonderful!!! She took care of Baker for two nights. Lots of walks and photos throughout his stay. She treated him like her own with lots of snuggles. We are so grateful, and we’ll definitely stay with her again!”
“Theresa and Adrian were so loving and responsible. They were very good at sending daily updates and photos. And Jerry came home very happy so I know he had a great time. I would definitely recommend them and book them for Jerry’s future stay.”
“Kayla was great with my geriatric dog! The time my pup spent with her did her good, she came back with so much life, and energy, like she went on a relaxing vacation! I'm very grateful for the attentive care she provided to my fur baby.”

“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”

She took the time to play and give him love while I was away, even provided many photos and a thorough description of how the visit went! Would highly recommend for anyone who needs someone to watch their pet(s)!!!”

We’ve known Jeannette for a few years at this point and it means a lot of have such a kind and caring person in our lives and our cat’s life. We always feel very confident and at peace knowing he is in her care.”

About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.
“Hanan took great care of Oreo while we were gone and she is the first overnight stay Rover that actually listens to us and takes advantage of the stay and treats it like a staycation which we encourage. We came home to a happy kitty!”
“Breanna is absolutely amazing to work with. I could tell she cared about my cat, and was genuinely concerned with her wellbeing. Breanna was willing to step up and help when I needed her to do an extra drop in last minute. She gave me so much peace of mind on my vacation, and I will absolutely be using her again for my next trip. 11/10.”

“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”
“My Husband and I recently moved back home from Missouri and I have been trying to find a new day care for my 2 pups like the one they were going to. The new one they started going to they weren’t fond of, so A friend suggested Emily! So happy I can trust someone to take such great care them, she has great communication with the wonders and when I picked my dogs up, they seemed so happy to be there!”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”
“Excellent communication. Expectations of what was needed from me was made very clear, constant response to text messages before, during and after the appointment. Would definitely recommend”
“This was a last minute booking which turned from 2-3 hours to 6+ due to an emergency, but Pallavi went above and beyond at taking care of Mylo! Cannot be more appreciative and would 100% recommend! Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It warms my heart to see my fur baby so excited to see Sheila. In the past when I took her OTHER places she dreaded going and would pull back. With Sheila she runs to her giving me the comfort I need.”
“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!”
“Lasya and her family were awesome to work with. We had great communication, she sent photos and texted throughout the day. Our dog, Kuma seemed to have had tons of fun with their dog Simba. Lasya was very kind and patient. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Constance and Terry were great dog sitters for my pup Obi-Wan. They were very attentive to Obi’s needs, and sent me updates with pictures every day. I will definitely be using their services again!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my family dog, Chutney, for over 10 years, and taking care of him is really what got me into dog sitting. I did Rover throughout college and absolutely loved it, and after taking a break during the pandemic, I’m excited to be offering my services again. Since moving to Detroit, I’ve spent the past three years dog sitting and caring for many wonderful pups. I previously worked fully remotely, and while I’m now hybrid, my schedule is still very flexible. Right now, I’m only in the office once a week for a couple of hours, and starting in July 2026 I’ll be in the office three days a week. The good news is that I get to choose my own hours, so I won’t be gone all day just a couple hours! This flexibility allows me to continue giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits pretty easily into my daily routine because I currently work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office once a week for a couple of hours. Starting in July 2026, my schedule will shift to three in-office days per week, but I’ll still only need to be there for a couple of hours each day. I also live with my partner, who is great with dogs and typically home during the day since he works evenings, so there’s usually someone around to keep your dog company and cared for while I’m briefly in the office. This gives us plenty of flexibility to follow your dog’s routine, provide lots of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I also make time for at least two walks a day, along with regular check-ins, feeding, and anything else your dog may need to feel happy and comfortable. I make it a priority to make sure your dog always feels safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I give plenty of extra cuddles, attention, and quality time so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands.

About: Reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter ready to make your pet feel at home while you’re away. I provide attentive walks, safe playtime, and calm companionship tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or daily care, I bring consistency, trustworthiness, and genuine love for animals to every booking. I communicate clearly with owners and update you so you feel confident and at ease. Let’s work together to give your dog a joyful, secure experience in your absence. As a retiree with a flexible schedule, I’m available to offer consistent, attentive dog care throughout the day. I can focus on walks, visits, and companionship when your dog needs it most. My open availability means fewer scheduling conflicts and more quality time caring for your dog with reliability you can count on. I offer a large, fully enclosed yard where dogs can safely play off-leash and enjoy fresh air under supervision — perfect for games, fetch, or a quick romp. Our neighborhood also features quiet, low-traffic streets, ideal for relaxed, stress-free walks that help dogs get exercise and explore at their pace. These outdoor spaces give pups a mix of freedom and calm, so they can stretch their legs, sniff around, and have fun in a secure, peaceful setting. If you crate your dog (its safe place), please be sure to bring it along.
About: I've been taking care of my own small-medium size dogs for the past 15 years. I currently have two dogs, a Shih Tzu and a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I also pet-sit for neighbours and friends! I want to share my love of all things dogs to those who need their fur babies taken care of! I have patience, and attention to detail and will make sure your pet is always safe and secure! I currently work from work and am available during the week and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your dogs scheduling needs! As a dog owner myself, I understand that each pet has its unique personality and behaviour. I will adapt and learn your pet's behaviours and tendencies to keep them safe and secure. I strive to create a comfortable and loving environment for your furry friend and to make them feel at ease in all environments.
“Ashley was so easy to book with, and sent great updates and photos of my dog Harry. He came from the visit happy and rested, I will definitely book with her again if I’m ever in the area again.”

“I have had Keanna taking my two large black lab mix dogs for walks several days a week (or drop-ins if necessary during rainy days) while I'm working for a couple months now and she's amazing! The dogs love her! She can take both of them at the same time without a problem and they are much more disciplined now on walks in general because of her guidance. She is very reliable and very flexible and also will be house sitting/dog sitting for me the next couple of times I go out of town. Highly recommend! 🥰🐕🦺🐾🐾🐕🦺🥰”
“Rebecca was great we had a pre meeting where she got to meet and interact with Theo who of course loved her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Erin is the best sitter EVER - in Gabe’s words - she is BARKTASTIC. What a blessing it is for us to have found Erin. She is everything and more we were hoping for!!!! We wanted someone who our fur baby would look forward to walking or cuddling with and someone attentive enough to detail to calm our hears while Gabe was in her care. Erin exceeds our expectations every time she visits and Gabe perks up when we say Erin’s Coming today for your milwaukee. (One time we were going to Milwaukee the city and Gabe became so excited that he was going for a walk we decided to rename walkie - milwaukee.) Erin is the best at milwaukee than we hoped and prayed for and cannot thank her enough for her care and compassion she has for our four leg family member.”

About: Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I would love to care for your dog/cat. I will always do anything possible to make them feel 100% comfortable and happy. I have 10 years experience caring for children ages 0-6 and would love to extend that care to your fur babies. When you book my services, I would love to know their favorite toy, food, treat, place to sleep, and/or if they have a favorite place to get scratches/rubs! Your pet's comfort and trust is my priority, along with your trust and respect. If there is ever any issues or questions, please don't hesitate and let me know. I'm always happy to help! I currently have a part time job working late nights, so I am available to do drop-ins or walks on most afternoons during the week.

“Aaria was great with Potato! That is saying something because he can be a piece of work, and always try to get away with pulling and refusing to walk with a new walker. She's been very responsive and professional as we set up a few services / stays for the coming weeks. Looking forward to having Potato with her more!”

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay

“I am so grateful to Lasya and Seshu for being such wonderful hosts to my beloved Sage. They went above and beyond to accommodate my last-minute booking during a family emergency, which truly meant a lot to me. Sage had an incredible time with Lasya, Seshu, and their adorable dog, Simba. It warmed my heart to see how well Sage and Simba bonded, bringing joy to each other throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Lasya and Seshu highly enough, they genuinely are the best. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated with the utmost love, care, and respect in their hands.”
“Leslie was wonderful to work with - communication and scheduling were very smooth. It was clear right away that she is very kind to dogs. She let my dog play in the yard a lot on warm day and sent me photos which made me feel very reassured!”
