“Irma & Daniel took great care of our dog Leo. They gave him his medication and sent us pictures and updates daily. We are so happy with their service. Thank you so much!”
“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 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.”
“I appreciated Dawn’s flexibility and compassionate care for my little Chico. She kept me informed of his activities and also updated me with pictures. Definitely will be rebooking with her if I need a sitter.”
“Kayla was very attentive to our little pup and very friendly. She made sure she was comfortable, as she takes a bit of warming up. I enjoyed all the photos I received while I was on my mini vacation.”
“Dia was great with our pup, from the time we connected for a meet and greet we felt comfortable. Dia provided great communication and photos throughout our dog's stay. We certainly will entrust her with our fur baby again!”
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“Chelsea was fantastic! We were looking for more personal care with an in-home setting. We found Chelsea! She gave our dog great personal care, sent us updates and photos while we were away. She kept our minds at ease. Thank you! We will be back again that's for sure.”
“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.”
“As always, Jean and her family took great care of our Cory. While Jean moved away, she lives close to the airport, and we will continue asking her temporarily adopt Cory when go out of town.”
“Tara and her family were great! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. She sent me daily photo and video updates, and was very accessible to communicate with. I felt like my dog was in excellent care. I didn't worry about my dog at all and was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. I felt like I found my Rover go-to person with Tara and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“This was our first time using Maureen to care for our Bella and we were very pleased with the care she received. She took such great care of her and treated her like her own. She sent updates and photos of their time together and we felt very comfortable leaving Bella with her. As much as Bella was excited to see us upon our return to pick her up, she was equally excited to return inside the house to give Maureen kisses as we were leaving. Maureen is a great caregiver if you're looking for someone to board your dog or for daycare and walks.”
“Thank you for taking care of our needy dogs. Midge who barks and needs to go out a lot. Old and needing attention, she got it. We didn't have to worry while on our trip. Thank you Brenda”
“Amie and her family were wonderful! They made our dog Bentley feel like part of the family. He came home perky after his vacation with Amie. I loved all the pictures we received. He was very happy with them. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Dixie is so comfortable with Cheryl, when I pick her up she's very calm and relaxed. I appreciate how attentive Cheryl is to Dixie & how she keeps me updated daily. This is our second booking with Cheryl & there will definitely be more in the future.”
“Megan was awesome! This was the first time my pup has been away from me. Megan went above and beyond what I expected. She gave me regular updates and pictures. I will definitely have her watch my fur baby again. I recommend her 100%!”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“I've had my Roxie stay with Dawn a few times now. She loves to run around the yard and play with the other dogs (if any are there). For this visit, Roxie had all Dawn's attention for almost two weeks, which was so nice. I would never think of boarding her at a regular kennel after seeing how much she loves going to Dawn's place!”

“Kacie was really great and did exactly what we had asked. This was our first time using her to help us when both my husband and I weren’t home one evening. Our kitty has epilepsy and receives oral medication twice a day. We both weren’t going to be home last Friday evening so we coordinated with Kacie, met her a few weeks prior for a meet and greet, and then discussed all directions on how to give our kittys medicine. She was wonderful and followed all my (detailed ?) instructions and then let me know everything went smoothly. It is wonderful to have some reliable to help us because I worry so much about our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again, soon!”
“Lauren took wonderful care of our senior cat over Thanksgiving. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I am very appreciative of her attentiveness and 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.”
“Jennifer is one in a million. We left our cat with my elderly mom for 3 months while we were in Florida. Jennifer made weekly visits to look in on Maizy. My mom looked forward to each and every visit and I'm happy to say they became friends. Jennifer is extremely kind and efficient. We had no worries about mom taking care of Maizy while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Evelyn has been great with my cats. She is responsible and attentive and communicates well. This is the second time she has helped me and I will continue to use her in the future.”
“Corriane took such great care of my cats! She’s wonderful! The updates were great and let me know they were well cared for. She also managed to get my more timid cat to come out for attention.”
“Tina was an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cats by providing updates with pictures and detailed notes after each visit. She ensured they had food and water, addressed any issues like spills, and even brought packages inside. Her rates were very reasonable, which was an added bonus. Overall, I highly recommend Tina if you need someone reliable and caring to watch your pets. She would treat your pet as if it were her own.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Rhonda more than 5 stars, I would! She was an absolutely incredible caregiver for my cat, Luna. This was my first time leaving Luna, and Rhonda provided so much peace of mind with her detailed updates and wonderful photos. She went above and beyond just the basics—she took the time to earn Luna's trust, played with her energetically, and noted all the little details about her personality. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for animals. My sometimes-standoffish kitty even warmed up to her by the end of the visits! Rhonda is reliable, caring, and an excellent communicator. I am so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Don't hesitate to book with Rhonda—your pet will be in the best possible hands!”
“Molly put my mind at ease while away on a work trip. She took great care of my cat, checked in and communicated often, sent lots of comforting pictures, and left the house in perfect shape. I would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”
“Molly was wonderful with Little Jimmy. After the meet and great I felt very comfortable having her in my home to puppy-sit my little guy. Will definitely have Molly back in the future.”
“Chelsea was fantastic! We received daily communication, updates and photos of our cats. They were very well taken care of and we are very pleased. This was our first time using this type of service and it won’t be our last time with Chelsea. Highly recommend!”
“Lynne was such a great sitter for my cat Lily. I loved the pictures and messages she sent everyday. I was flying back home into a snowstorm and she graciously offered to stay with Lily if my flights got delayed or canceled. That was a big relief because I was worried Lily might be left alone for a day. Lynne left my house so clean I could hardly tell a house sitter was there. I will definitely book Lynne again when I need a sitter for Lily in the future. Thank you very much Lynne.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was somewhat skeptical but after meeting Kodi, I knew she was perfect for what I needed. She exudes great energy and is a natural with pets. She took amazing care of my baby girl and I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away with family. I highly recommended Kodi for your pet services.”
“We were in a tough situation after a rare cancellation from a different Rover sitter only a few days before our trip. Erica immediately responded to my desperate message and remained in contact with us through our trip. Two of our cats haven’t been getting along, and Erica navigated our gate system with no problem! She was great, caring, and genuine, and I’d absolutely rebook.”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved pets and I currently have a puppy myself named Gigi. I have done lots of research on pets throughout my life as I’ve always wanted one and wanted to make sure I had enough knowledge and could provide amazing care for them. I’m currently working part time at a warehouse, so I’ll have enough time for your doggies! I only work four hours a day, four times a week. I have a fenced yard and let my pup run around and play fetch. I have two crates with beds in them. I give my puppy treats when she behaves and I put on the ipad for her to watch when she’s in the crate to help her fall asleep. I use paw lotion when her paws get dry, I have a paw bath bottle that I dip her paws in when they get dirty and I give her a bath every week. She has five leashes, a 3 foot another 3 foot, 5 foot, a 15 feet recall, and a hands free leash.

“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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: I will take care of your pets exactly how you would if you were home. I love all kinds of animals! I’ve owned lizards, bunnies, birds, cats, dogs through out my life. I am 32 years old and clean homes for a living as well as foster when I can! I provide feeding, walks, stimulation, comfortable giving medication if needed, personal requests, whatever your pet loves we can do. I just moved back to the Detroit area long term! I have a fenced backyard for boarding and day care! I will be home with the pet at all times. I care for them exactly how you would to keep them as comfortable as possible without you! Can follow feeding and potty schedules and I will never say no to bedtime snuggles from your pup.
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.
“Brittany was very accommodating and took my last minute request. There can be improvement in communication to avoid misunderstandings. But, she was very kind and caring and put forth the effort to clear up what was misunderstood.”
“Megan and Milo were great hosts to my Bentley for a few hours. We had great communication throughout the visit and Bentley came home happy and sleepy. Definitely will be booking again. Thank you!”
About: If i had 100 fenced acres i would probably have 100 dogs. First hand experience with Golden Retrievers, Boxers, Dobermans, Cocker Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Schnauzers, Irish Wolf Hounds, Terriers and Yorkies. I periodically raise and train Golden Retrievers for Leaderdogs for the Blind. If i am completely blocked off for a couple weeks i am probably hosting a leaderdog puppy for another raiser that is on a vacation. I have a lot of repeat customers and look forward to seeing their dogs get excited when they pull into my driveway. It would be tough but if i had to pick the breed i couldn't live without i would put Goldens at the top. Even though i don't let any dogs on my bed i’m known for sleeping on the floor in the living-room with the dogs.
About: I've been around and cared for animals of all kind. I have worked in a vet office, doggie daycare, fostered, outreach and can care for your furry family members when you need help. I work full time at home, have two dogs, a nice sized fenced in yard and have the space to help families when needed. I have crates if needed. Baby gates for different areas of my home to keep yours and mine separate. Please note, I cant pickup or drop off during the week but can on weekends if needed. Safety is my number one. My dogs will be separated from yours. I ask that when you drop off, you bring your dogs food, toys and a blanket with your family/home scent (if you want) so they are more comfortable in my home as well as any notes if medication is needed, feeding times, how much they eat and any important info you have so I can care for them as you do. If you feed raw, that is no problem for me as my dogs are fed raw. Please let me know if your animals are not vaccinated or dewormed.
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.
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.

“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.”
“Wow late review because I blanked! Nicole is AMAZING! It was more like a mini vacation for my dog than just a day care. She took great care of him, took him on multiple walks and treated him so well. Nasus is a high energy rescue so I always get nervous leaving him with others, but he warmed up to her so fast and she sent me pictures and updates all day so I knew he was doing well. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely use her again when I need a sitter.”
“Bailey took wonderful care of my pup today! He had such a great time, and I could tell he was immediately comfortable and at ease with Bailey. She is very gentle, and so good with animals. Also, my pup has some health and spinal issues, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in Bailey’s care. We’ll definitely be booking with Bailey again soon — highly recommend!”

About: My very first job was starting a dog walking business with my sister and best friend when I was 13! I would walk up to two dogs at a time, feed them their meals, spend time with them while their owners were away, and play with them! I now have two of my own dogs that I adore and love spending time with. Throughout the years, my love for dogs and animals has only grown! I have been completing Rover services since May of 2026, and have fallen in love with it as a full-time job! I am available Monday through Friday, and the times are very flexible, as well as weekends as needed. I am looking to see more dogs weekly, so reach out to see if the times works! At my house, we have a fenced in yard, so my dogs roam freely. While on walks, they use a harness and a leash. I am comfortable with putting on all harnesses and prefer to walk a dog with a leash, but if the dog is trained well enough to not need one, I am comfortable with that as well.
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!
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.
“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: Hi! My name is Lynne, and animals have been a big part of my life for over 30 years. I have extensive experience fostering both dogs and cats, including those who are fearful, shy, or even feral. This has given me the patience and understanding to work with pets of all temperaments and personalities. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs and two cats, so I know what it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, offering playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I truly enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed, and I always treat pets as if they were my own—with lots of love, attention, and respect. I retired from my career last year. I worked in healthcare finance for 26 years. I want to fill my time with something that I really love. My dogs are welcome on all the furniture and are with me all the time. I will care for your pets in the same manner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in every kind of way for many years . I have a pure passion for animals in general however dogs are my best friends. I work from home so I’m extremely open to all schedules. I enjoy going for walks in nature and going to the beaches and parks daily . So it works for my lifestyle. I have a three bedroom apartment with a lot of space . There are a lot of trails and even a dog park in my complex.
About: I love all animals (especially a pit bull) I own a mello & a crazy, so it’s my specialty! I have two dogs, one that is 11 and the other is 3. I’m a real estate agent full time, and on my spare time what’s a better way to spend it then hanging out with other animals :). Before I got into real estate I was a full time vet tech. I have a fenced yard at home, I have a dog that is 11 in diapers. Your pet would be treated like it was my own.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved pets and I currently have a puppy myself named Gigi. I have done lots of research on pets throughout my life as I’ve always wanted one and wanted to make sure I had enough knowledge and could provide amazing care for them. I’m currently working part time at a warehouse, so I’ll have enough time for your doggies! I only work four hours a day, four times a week. I have a fenced yard and let my pup run around and play fetch. I have two crates with beds in them. I give my puppy treats when she behaves and I put on the ipad for her to watch when she’s in the crate to help her fall asleep. I use paw lotion when her paws get dry, I have a paw bath bottle that I dip her paws in when they get dirty and I give her a bath every week. She has five leashes, a 3 foot another 3 foot, 5 foot, a 15 feet recall, and a hands free leash.

“Irma & Daniel took great care of our dog Leo. They gave him his medication and sent us pictures and updates daily. We are so happy with their service. Thank you so much!”
“I appreciated Dawn’s flexibility and compassionate care for my little Chico. She kept me informed of his activities and also updated me with pictures. Definitely will be rebooking with her if I need a sitter.”
“Kayla was very attentive to our little pup and very friendly. She made sure she was comfortable, as she takes a bit of warming up. I enjoyed all the photos I received while I was on my mini vacation.”
“Chelsea was fantastic! We were looking for more personal care with an in-home setting. We found Chelsea! She gave our dog great personal care, sent us updates and photos while we were away. She kept our minds at ease. Thank you! We will be back again that's for sure.”
“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.”
“Amie and her family were wonderful! They made our dog Bentley feel like part of the family. He came home perky after his vacation with Amie. I loved all the pictures we received. He was very happy with them. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“I've had my Roxie stay with Dawn a few times now. She loves to run around the yard and play with the other dogs (if any are there). For this visit, Roxie had all Dawn's attention for almost two weeks, which was so nice. I would never think of boarding her at a regular kennel after seeing how much she loves going to Dawn's place!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anjana! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. We truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
“I love her. First time leaving my Stormi but i was comfortable that she was in good hands. Always want someone that my pup would relax with. She was really calm when I picked her up. I will book with Jalyn again.”
“This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we feel so lucky that we found Amanda! During our meet-and-greet, Amanda and her husband, Robert, asked great questions to make sure they knew what type of care our reactive dog needed. They truly took care of our dog, Dilla, like he was their own. ❤️ He spent his days playing with the basket full of toys waiting by for him by the front door and evenings curled up on the couch between Amanda and Robert. We received tons of pictures while we were away which made us feel at ease knowing Dilla was well taken care of, happy, safe, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They will 100% be our first choice for dog sitting services in the future and we know Dilla will be happy to spend time with them again!”
“Our experience with JoAnn was exceptional. We just added Moxie to our family and were very nervous about leaving him while we went on vacation. This was our first opportunity utilizing Rover. JoAnn was patient with us as we learned how to navigate the app. From our very first encounter, Moxie's meet-n-greet, JoAnn asked us all the necessary questions to assure she followed Moxie's home routine closely. Prior to taking on any other pets during Moxie's stay, JoAnn scheduled time for the pets to meet which validates her focus was on the health and well-being of both pets. One of our favorite parts of every day was the photos and messages JoAnn sent. He looked like he had an amazing time. Our family would 100% recommend JoAnn to care for your pet. We will definitely reach out again when traveling.”
“Corri deserves 10 stars. We had a GREAT first time experience. Corri has a really nice home, yard and her dog Penny is a great companion for any dog. She took time to check in by sending us pictures of our dog, ODEN. He seemed to be having the time of his life while running around in the backyard. I will definitely use Corri and her husband, Aaron again as our sitter. The wife and I are heading to Hawaii soon for a week, Corri is certainly one of our top options on the Rover app. Thanks guys!”
“Mina did a fantastic job with Beau. His 4 night stay went very well and he had plenty of dog-friends to keep him company. Beau enjoyed the fenced back yard and walks. Mina does a great job of keeping us updated and sending pictures. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve left our shepherd with Chris and Cassandra a handful of times this summer and every single time has been stellar. Very knowledgeable and keeps us very updated with our shepherd’s wellbeing. Having dogs of their own is also great since it gives our boy a chance to socialize and feel part of a pack. Can’t say enough good things about these two!”
“Mocha had a great time!!! Matt and Jamiee sent pictures every day and followed up with comments on how Mocha was doing. Love that! Thanks so much, for sure we will be back soon…”
“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!”
