Personalized care for your dog or cat - Romulus
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Romulus
“I boarded my pup Coco with Teresa. It was Coco's first time being boarded, so she recommended I drop Coco off the evening before to see how it would go. She introduced the other boarding dogs one by one, showed me the yard, and made sure everyone was comfortable. She contacted me the next morning and mentioned it was going well with one of the other pups. Not the result we were looking for, but she handled it kindly and professionally -- and that's all I could ask for. Teresa was great to work with, and I would recommend her for boarding.”
“What a great experience! It was awesome traveling knowing I could trust Darcy and Daniel with my beloved boy. They gave him warm attention, thoughtful care during subzero temps, and kept me updated. My dog met them as strangers and left as friends. Highly recommend!”
“Paula is great. She provides a clean house, has expertise to keep order over the dogs, and has a great fenced yard. This was my first occasion boarding my beloved Bo, and was glad to be able to leave him in a place where he would get to hang with other good-natured dogs and have a yard to play for a change. Paula attended to our needs and my concerns. I wish she were closer for general "play dates", but if you are going to/from DTW, it's a very easy drop off and pick up.”
“Juju enjoyed spending holidays with Tiffany and her family. All her dogs were not only friendly, but also well-trained. They were a great company for Juju. Tiffany sent me a couple of pictures everyday and kept me informed of how Juju was doing. Every member of her family seemed to know how to handle dogs. I did not have to worry about anything during my holidays. I’m sure Juju wants to go back to her place again. She is a great dog sitter.”
“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“I had another sitter cancel last minute. With a last minute request Irma and Daniel were very communicative and took great care of my dog Pepper! She was very happy with them and plan to have them watch her again for future stays!”
“Rachel was the best sitter we could’ve hoped for! She deeply understands dogs, has the perfect environment, and it is totally upfront about what she can and can’t accommodate. She communicated well and took extra care to make sure our little escape artist didn’t pull off one of her tricks. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely take Dolly to her again.”
“Tara and Gary were able to accommodate my last minute request. Sending me pictures and video keeping me in the loop of little rockys first time away from home. She treated rocky like her own and he was tired out from the fun he had. You can tell they really care. Thank you again for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
“Ashley was great with my dog Bruno. Very responsive, sent regular pics, and Bruno seemed happy with his new friend Sprout! Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks Ashley!!”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”

“Molly was absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend. She took such good care of our older Alaskan Malamute, Luna. She went above and beyond to make sure Luna was exceptionally cared for. We received detailed daily reports and pics and that was so appreciated. I could tell by Molly's comments that she was really in tune with Luna's personality and needs. She was very responsive and really easy to communicate with. We are already looking to book with her again in October. Thank you Molly!”
“Jennifer was great. She spent day and nights at my home with my cat Lily. When I returned a week later Lily was happy and my house was spotless. Jennifer also left me the sweetest thank you card. I would highly recommend Jennifer to sit or you. She loves animals and they love her. She also sent me multiple pictures and I loved that.”
“Kacie was wonderful with my cat! Her updates kept me confident that my girl was in great hands and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worry. I came home to a happy kitty and won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“I’ve used Abby twice and I know she takes care of my pets like her own. I get frequent updates and she does a few extras for me at the house. She is dependable and caring. I feel very confident leaving my pets in her care.”
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
“The house was left very neat and she was good at communicating with us. Our cats hid throughout much of her stay, but that's their normal behavior with new people and not a reflection on Jaicyn. She actually seemed like a caring and nice person and we're hoping to have her again.”
“Ally did such an incredible job house sitting and taking care of our fur babies for 2 weeks. Upon arriving home, everything was tidy and taken care of. Even opening the door, we could sense our cats disappointment when it wasn’t Ally. She really connected with our pets and made them comfortable. Anyone should be thrilled to have her take over while you’re gone!!! Thanks again so much!”
“Jessi was just absolutely wonderful. She sent updates of her activities with Spooky everyday, as well as lots of cute photos of playtime and pets. She was also extremely pleasant during our meet-and-greet and definitely took care to follow specific instructions. I will absolutely be asking her in the future to look after Spook.”
“Lauren is amazing. We have a 17 yr old cat who needed medication and a 6yr old who is the definition of a scaredy-cat; and she took care of both of them. If you are looking for a professional who is also compassionate to look after your babies, I cannot recommend Lauren enough. We will definitely schedule with her again if she’s available during our next trip.”
“Nikki is a treasure! Tomas’ adores her and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that he was so well taken care of. We received daily pics and updates which was exactly what I needed. Five star service! Thank you!”
“Jean did a great job. She almost immediately could tell my 3 grey cats apart, which most of my friends cannot even do. She made sure that 1 of them got their daily pill and that all 3 were happy, and had food, water, & clean litter pans. I felt so much more relaxed on my vacation knowing that she was checking on them every day :D.”
“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”
About: I’ve had several kitties throughout my life and enjoy playing with and caring for them. I’m using the funds I make from Rover to donate to Hope Story, a charity for Down’s Syndrome, and Experience Camps, a charity that sends children who have lost a parent or sibling to camp.
About: I have had cats in my life since I was born. I’ve had sweet snuggly cats and aloof and antisocial cats. All cats have different boundaries and needs, and I am open to all of them and giving them the love and attention they need and want.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Romulus
“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.”
“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”
About: I have trained, watched, worked with, handled, and loved on every temperament of pet from lovable couch potatoes, anxiety ridden, hospice care, and animals that do not do well with other people or animals for over 20 years. Through those years I have worked with rescues, dog shows, dog sports, and training and raising puppies and adults that have helped me to become an extremely understanding, patient, and proficient behaviorist and trainer I am to this day. Anything from walks, training, medical needs, behavioral needs, bathing, or just simple understanding is my expertise with animals, primarily dogs. I do have a full time job, however animal care is a top priority. I also have a partner (who is also verified on rover and a former veterinarian technician) that lives with me, which leaves me able to board, train, doggy daycare, or any need a family might need while seeking a pet sitter for their beloved pet/s. If your pet/s is boarding at my home, I have a fenced in yard with multiple types of animals that are all very well behaved and trained. I have a separate space in my kitchen for your pet/s or I do crate dogs at night time and place cats in a separate, closed area at night for your pet/s comfortability in a new environment. If I care for your pet/s at their home, they will have the comfort and safety of their regular routine at their home while you have the peace of mind that not only are your pet/s taken care of but so is your home while away. Following medical need instructions and able to administer any meds will be adhered to in the utmost manner. Whether your pet/s are at my home or yours for overnights, day time drop ins, or daytime doggy daycare they are treated with the highest level of patience and respect. Pet/s will also have numerous potty breaks, multiple walks if they need, and some good ol fashion playtime and love.
“Jennifer and her visiting sister, Joni, took amazing care of our Corgi and Cockapoo for the day. Jennifer's home and yard are perfect for furrbabies. The girls had the best time and were completely exhausted when we picked them up. We would definitely book with Jennifer again.”
“Samantha was amazing! My husband and I took Maru to Michigan and needed someone to watch her while we attended an event. Maru spent two days with Samantha’s family, and we picked her up at nights. Our puppy is almost 6 months old and hadn’t been around many people or dogs, but Samantha and her family gave her outstanding care and great socialization. Maru came back to us happy and loved. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants their dog to be safe, happy, and well-socialized while they’re away.”
“Terri was amazingly accommodating! She helped us out so much by picking our dog up for us when we were in a bind and bringing him to her house very last minute, even though she hadn't watched Remi before! We were so impressed and grateful! Thanks again Terri!!”
About: As a former Veterinary Technician, I have 18 years of animal experience. I am well trained in basic animal care, animal behavior, as well as medical care and emergency aid. Knowing and understanding animal behavior, allows me to give your pet the utmost care according to their specific individual needs. My personal experience extends further than just dogs and cats, as I am also very comfortable with exotic pets (parrots, small caged pets, fish, amphibians, reptiles). Being that I personally care for and have in my home dogs, cats, birds, and livestock; I am positive that I can accommodate the needs of your pets. I have flexible availability and I enjoy keeping your pets routine rolling while pet sitting. Knowing your pet(s) are recieving lots of love, cuddles, play and exercise, as well as care in the comfort of their own home, can make leaving your fur babies much easier. Pets deserve the best comfort while you are away. I have been dog boarding and offering doggy day care before I became a verified sitter on Rover and can provide references from clients. I am now transitioning to primarily housesitting/drop ins. I will always propose a Meet and Greet beforehand, somewhere public for us to meet, and mutually feel comfortable about bookings. You may also expect a consistent stream of photos of your pet while you are away. If you love your animal companions as much as I do, I know that you want to know they are safe, loved, and well at all times. I am happy to answer any questions about my pet experience via text, call, or in person at our meet. Can't wait to meet your sweet pet! I work from home, providing animal services, and also have quite a number of my own personal pets. My daily routine consists of pet care as soon as the day begins. I spend about 2-3 hours every morning dedicated to animal care, feeding, medications, and enrichment. Animals are a huge part of not only my home but my life. Being as such, it will be no issue to care fully for your pets individual and specific needs. Every pet under my care will recieve whatever they need and more to maintain their regular routine at home. All instructions will be followed precisely. My many years of experience in training as well as animal care allow me to asses situations, body language and environments easily for safety issues. My priority is making your pet feel safe and well cared for in your absence.
“My dog had a good day with Kayla and was well taken care of for the day. The dogsitter was ver attentive with communication and clearly let me know when I could drop off amd pick up Coby. She understood the instructions I gave for his care and made sure that his ear was taken care of. Coby clearly had fun that day and if I happen to be back in the area, I will definitely look up this dogsitter again.”
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using 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!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. I currently don’t have any pets right now because I have 2 little ones at home. I’d love to spend my extra time with furry friends! I currently am home full time with my two little ones. We don’t have any pets right now but would love to spend the extra time we have with some furry friends! I usually wake up around 6:30-7:00am to start my day and head to bed around 9:00pm. I do have a 2 year old and a 2 month old in the home. Pets can easily be separated if needed, we have lots of space. I also have plenty of room for an extra crate and have one available if needed. I live in a very large neighborhood that’s easy to walk and also have trails and parks nearby! I’m already out walking with my littles so why not add a furry friend!
About: I’ve helped care for a variety of breeds and temperaments, including small dogs, large breeds, and shy or anxious pets who need a gentle approach. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique personality and needs. I'm currently working as flight pet nanny, this makes my schedule flexible to fit your needs to care for your pet. As I provide daily and overnight stays. We will have a meet and greet ahead of time. I begin the day with breakfast, then we will go for a walk and bathroom break. After that we will come home to play and hangout together.
“Erin and her husband were a huge help with doggy daycare. My puppy was able to social with other dogs, play all day and came home exhausted. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! ❤️”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I really enjoy meeting, playing and caring for all animals. I'd love to meet yours! I make my own work schedule so I'm very flexible. Walking dogs and caring for cats takes priority. I can help out with short notice. Paying attention to animal needs is very important to me. I currently have a cat who is living his best life! Animals of every kind deserve the best.
“Novah had a great day with Rachel and Michael and Ember! Novah loved running in their very large fenced in yard. Rachel went out of her way to make sure everything went smoothly. And Michael spent a long time with Novah outside playing with her and working on training activities. I highly recommend Rachel if you want a fun and safe place for your dog for day care! Thank you Rachel and Michael! Novah is excited to see you all again soon!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Romulus
About: I’ve owned animals all my life, I worked at a doggy daycare for a few years in college and I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken body language classes (since that’s how our pets communicate with us) and multiple training courses with my own dog. I’ve also owned fish, turtles, several small animals including hedgehogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits. I’m open to any pets not just cats and dogs 🖤 My schedule is mostly anytime around an 8-5 Monday-Friday work schedule since I paint cars at a dealership collision shop during the day. There is no schedule for pet care so I do my best to be open and flexible to drop in on your fur babies whenever they need it. I own a reactive dog, so I understand body language and stress and how it can stack up during the day. A good balance of physical activity, combined with mental stimulation and TLC will help to ease any anxiety your pets might have while you’re gone. Many households (even myself) have cameras inside and out to keep an eye on pets and I always encourage parents to reach out if they think their pet needs an extra drop in regardless of if it’s scheduled or not. Pet sitting isn’t just a “30 minute drop in” it’s much much more to me.
“We were thoroughly pleased with Jean, and our first experience with Rover. She obviously loves what she is doing, and that showed in her photos of our dog (Rusty). The text communications were appreciated, and we felt pleased that Rusty had been cared for well. Thank you!”
“Izzy is a sweet human who takes very good care of my pup. Izzy understands the challenges rescue pups can have and does a good job of working with Ziggy with kindness and compassion. Thanks, Izzy!”
About: I have a Master’s degree in Biology and currently work in a management role, bringing reliability, organization, and strong communication skills to everything I do—including pet care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals throughout college and beyond. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered my time walking dogs at a local animal shelter and have supported animal welfare through holiday donation drives. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I genuinely value. I’m also an active runner currently training for a half marathon, so I’d be more than happy to take high-energy dogs out for runs or extra-long walks to help them burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. I’m using Rover as a way to give back while doing something I love. I’m fundraising for two meaningful causes as part of my upcoming runDisney half marathon at Disney World: Hope Story, which supports individuals with Down syndrome, and Experience Camps, which provides free camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling. I’m just $1195 away from my goal, and every booking helps me get closer while continuing to provide loving, dependable care for pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My son will be attending school this summer and I’m looking for additional ways to earn some extra money. I have a rescue pit-mix named Jetta who enjoys our acre and a half backyard. I am reliable and will show respect in client homes, if drop in visits are preferred.
“My dog Fergus and I are very pleased with Nicole. It’s obvious she likes and understands dogs. Fergus is a large, 90 pound black lab and she manages him well. She does a great job of communicating arrival times, etc. We look forward to many more walks!!”
“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”
“We’ve recently contacted Kacie for over night stays but also for walks. She is kind and very responsive. I’m excited for our pup Kiki to be in such good care. Thank you Kacie!”
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.
About: I trained my dog starting from when she was 8 weeks old to be potty trained and how to do several tricks, in less than 6 months. I'm a new college graduate with a flexible schedule, leaving plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available at all times during the day. I am very observant when it comes to pets. My dog has been an escape artist and liked to try and eat everything in sight, so I've always kept good attention to pets.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have years of experience volunteering at humane societies. I have handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and I love them all! I am currently going back to school and have availability on most days, although it does vary by semester. Animals are a huge part of my life and I cherish the time I get to spend with them and strive to provide them with the best possible care. It can be stressful when their owners are gone, so making their experience special and something to look forward to is important to me. Pet safety always comes first. I make sure animals are secure in their leash, do not escape, are kept at a distance from other animals (unless socialization is requested), and do not ingest anything dangerous. I am careful about keeping germs from spreading between pets and will always wash or sanitize my hands before touching your pet, will sanitize any toys I bring, and only use clean towels if they are necessary. Cat and dog body language is a special interest of mine, and I make an effort to interpret the signals of your animal and adjust my behavior to make them more comfortable if necessary. I believe in being gentle, kind, and encouraging with my tone of voice and actions. Pets pay a lot of attention to people, and can be sensitive to their reactions. For dogs: -I will follow your instructions for any walks/feeding/playtime -Unless instructed otherwise, I like to let dogs make a lot of the decisions about where we go on a walk and have lots of opportunities to stop and sniff. Smells are so important to dogs and are a major way their brain stays active and enriched. -I can handle strong pullers and fast walkers. -I am happy to reinforce any training goals or commands that you are working on with your dog if you would like. -I supply my own poop bags. -I have a couple of kong balls that I will bring (sanitized between dogs) if you are ok with your dog playing with them at our visits. I find for ball-motivated dogs, it can be a useful distraction and also a fun way to make their visit more exciting with a novel toy. -If approved by the owner, I bring 100% chicken treats that I can use to make them more comfortable or reward good behavior. -I will keep you updated on the appearance of their stool to make sure you know if anything is out of the ordinary for them. -I monitor how much panting and heavy breathing a dog is showing in the heat, especially in short-faced dog breeds. -If we walk through mud or rain, I bring a towel to wipe paws and towel off before coming inside. -I am experienced with elderly dogs and am careful of their joints and hips when handling them or asking them for certain movements. -I have experience with reactive and resource-guarding dogs. I pay extra close attention to any body language and the dog's individual cues in these cases, and have protective gloves if they are necessary in an emergency. For cats: -Cats have a very special place in my heart. They are all so unique, which makes getting to know each individual so rewarding. -I approach each cat at their comfort level. Sometimes a cat needs to watch me in their environment for a bit until they feel ready to come close. Some cats can be enticed by play. Some are won over with brushing or petting. Some will not be comfortable to come out for anyone except their person, and that is fine! -If approved by you beforehand, I can bring some of the many toys my personal cats have no interest in (washed before hand) to give them some novel enrichment while you're away. -I can also offer them some 100% chicken treats if you give the ok beforehand. -I have experience giving oral medication, subcutaneous fluids, eye or ear drops, brushing reluctant cats, removing mats, nail trimming, and retrieving cats from hiding places if necessary. I recommend doing a meet and greet session before our first visit, but if you provide me with instructions, I am also comfortable with visiting an animal on short notice. I look forward to meeting your animals! I'm in school and my schedule will vary somewhat each semester, however I currently have lots of availability. Let me know what times you need! I am happy to follow any instructions provided. I will take dogs out for walks for as long as is requested. We will walk close to the dog's preferred pace. I do not allow the dog to interact with other people or pets unless otherwise indicated. I may give the pet a treat at the end if you approve ahead of time. I leave the home in the same condition as it was when I arrived, barring any other requested tasks. If I take your pet for a walk on a muddy day, I will clean them after with my own hypoallergenic pet wipes. If I notice anything amiss, such as a limp while walking or other possible health concern, I will notify you immediately.
“Jessi knows just what our Hiro needs. Our rescue dog can fearful of other dogs and be reactive. Jessi’s calm confident demeanor helps our dog remain calm and confident so he is able to walk our neighborhood. Jessi has a way with animals!!”
“Carissa is an amazing dog walker! She’s great with my American Staffordshire mix, Baymax. Well worth the $20! He seems happier after I get home than when I have had friends or family walk him.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, I treat them like they are my babies! I'm available almost all day, and love to cuddle and play with the dogs in my care. I currently have a pitbull named Stella, and 2 granddogs that do not live with me. My family shares my love of dogs, and will give extra cuddles and pets when we have company. I will make your pup forget that that are missing their parents while they are away. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and most dogs are drawn to me when we first meet. Hopefully it's okay if I pup talk to your dog!? It's a great way to bond with them! Thank for reading! Sara
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home since birth, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. Currently, I share my home with a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and two dog-friendly cats who are all well-socialized and used to visiting pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’m always happy to arrange a video call or an in-person meet and greet beforehand — whatever helps give you peace of mind. Why pet parents choose me: • Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment with plenty of love and attention — not long hours outside unsupervised or crated unnecessarily. • I only board for one family at a time, which allows me to give your pet individualized care and attention while also limiting exposure to unfamiliar animals. • I work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely, if ever, be left alone. • As a Rover customer myself, I know how reassuring regular communication can be. I’m happy to send frequent photo updates and check-ins while you’re away. • I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-ins, you can count on me to be punctual and fully committed to your pet’s care. • I do not require crating for dogs who are not normally crated at home. I want your pet to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me — and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like family. I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means belly rubs, head scratches, cuddles, treats, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. And if your pet prefers their space or is more independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and comfort level. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!
“Finding someone I trust to walk/hang out with my dog every day was a huge deal, and Kodi has been amazing. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I always come home to a happy and relaxed pup. Kodi is super reliable, always on time, and very flexible with changing schedules. It's such a relief knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was very quick to respond and able to work around our schedule to meet! She gave an awesome report so we knew Webster was well cared for while we were gone! Will definitely book Lauren again in the future!”

“Paula is great. She provides a clean house, has expertise to keep order over the dogs, and has a great fenced yard. This was my first occasion boarding my beloved Bo, and was glad to be able to leave him in a place where he would get to hang with other good-natured dogs and have a yard to play for a change. Paula attended to our needs and my concerns. I wish she were closer for general "play dates", but if you are going to/from DTW, it's a very easy drop off and pick up.”
“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“I had another sitter cancel last minute. With a last minute request Irma and Daniel were very communicative and took great care of my dog Pepper! She was very happy with them and plan to have them watch her again for future stays!”
“Rachel was the best sitter we could’ve hoped for! She deeply understands dogs, has the perfect environment, and it is totally upfront about what she can and can’t accommodate. She communicated well and took extra care to make sure our little escape artist didn’t pull off one of her tricks. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely take Dolly to her again.”
“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
“Ashley was great with my dog Bruno. Very responsive, sent regular pics, and Bruno seemed happy with his new friend Sprout! Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks Ashley!!”
“Amie was great with Hobbes. He was so well cared for and all her family pets helped Hobbes feel right at home. We will be back the next time we go on a trip and need a someone to watch Hobbes. Thanks for the great care.”
“Our dog Rudy is usually very nervous around strangers, but Ariana and Yogi really put him at ease. I was so impressed to see how well he warmed up to Ariana and how well she handled his schedule and medications. I really appreciated all the updates and how Ariana treated Rudy with genuine affection. Yogi is such a sweetie! After I picked up Rudy he was relaxed, but happy, a very good sign!”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“This is Bowi's second time staying with Logann and this time she stayed for almost 1 month. Logann was amazing with her Bowi really enjoyed her stay she had a wonderful time with Logann and her Family. Thank you so much Logann for everything you did I really Appreciate it .”
“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!!”
“Tara did an amazing job watching our dog, Winston! From the moment she picked him up, we knew he was in good hands. Winston clearly felt loved and comfortable during his stay, and it was heartwarming to see how well he got along with her pup, Bosco. Tara kept us in the loop with adorable updates throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. When she returned him, Winston was happy and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Tara for dog sitting.”
“These guys were amazing!! They provided a loving home for my dog while we were away. We received frequent updates, and they treated my dog so well, I was sure she would never want to come home. I cannot recommend Chris and Cassandra highly enough. Through some glitch in the system, they were suggested to me, even though they were a 40 minute drive away. I will ABSOLUTELY be making that 40 minute drive again when my dog needs a sitter.”
