“We boarded our two dogs with Brittany for 3 days. She was quick to respond to our boarding request and accommodated a scheduled that worked for us to do the meet & greet. She was patient with us even when I was delinquent in providing immediate responses to her questions. During the stay she sent us tons of pictures of the boys at her place having fun. She also coordinated with another sitter who was picking them from her place. Overall Brittany is just awesome and I highly recommend.”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.

“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Great pet sitters! Jin and Brian, along with their sweet kids, took amazing care of my cat. They kept me updated with photos every day, played with him, and made sure his food and all of his conditions were perfect. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he had the best possible experience. This was my cat’s first time being around another cat since he was a few months old, so I was nervous at first since they already have a cat. But they handled everything so well — my cat was never scared and felt comfortable right away. I truly appreciated their care and attention. I definitely recommend them!”

About: I’ve been caring for my cats in the family as long as I can remember. I have six of my own. One of which is a tripod- he came to me with a broken hip that required amputation. Two seniors. Two were orphans my manager raised. And two found me, and just decided to stick around. One has a backwards GI tract and needs a little extra care. One has had a hematoma- leading to drops and care there. There are very few issues I haven’t run into with cats. Including bottle raising a few to foster out. It’s a little chaotic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

About: I am a stay at home mom with 2 school - aged boys. My kids love dogs almost as much as I do and are very good at helping out with them. I have been a dog owner for 30+ years and our dogs have always been treated like family, including having their own Christmas stockings. We adopted our sweet senior rottie mix, Roary, back in 2023 and our indoor/outdoor kitten, Biscuit, in 2025. I will only care for dogs in my home that get along with children, dogs, and cats so everyone will feel comfortable. If your dog plays well with others, (s)he will be treated as family! I work from home, so I spend the majority of my day at home. Your pet will not be alone for long, if at all. We live on 3 acres and while we don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will spend plenty of time outside (on a leash) and be walked around the yard every few hours. I currently work from home. I will be able to take your pet for multiple walks daily and attend to their needs consistently. Even though I work from home, my time is important. Last minute requests will have a $25 charge added to the booking. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a good amount of property and will walk your pup throughout the day. If they need more exercise, I do have a long lead I can put them on to play fetch or just run around. I do not allow the pups to be outside unsupervised or unleashed at any time.
About: I spent 11 wonderful years with my two standard poodles Molly and Loki. I recently lost them in the past couple years and miss them dearly. I would like to offer daycare and lodging for poodles and doodles. I am highly allergic to other breeds so I need to stick with the breed I love. My husband and I are retired and can offer much comfort and love to your babies when you travel or are at work. They will be spoiled rotten and adored while in my care. We are both retired and available quite often unless we are planning to travel. This is not a career for us. I am simply doing this because I love the breed and miss my dog's dearly but I'm just not ready to get another dog. I have a fenced in yard and can also walk dogs weather permitting. Pups will have the run of the house. We would never feed a pup anything that was not provided as both our dogs had gastro issues and we know how important it is to their health not to feed them off diet.
“I brought my 2 and a half year old German Shepard x Husky to Angie and her family for 2 nights! They were very understanding as my dog was a little mouthy at first and we worked with her and she enjoyed her stay! The whole time I was updated on what they were doing together with my girl as well as pictures and videos! I will be keeping Angie’s family as a top pick for my girl anytime I need! Thankyou again so much!”
“Renée was awesome! I was working a craft fair nearby and she kept my doggie for two nights and sent me pictures. Next time I do this craft show I will be contacting her and I highly recommend!”

About: *CURRENTLY ACCEPTING EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY* I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I am currently only working with existing clients due to my senior dog’s health. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! My family takes care of them when I’m taking care of your babies. I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded! My schedule now requires dogs to be left alone for around 6-8 hours a day, as I have to be able to care for my struggling pup. I am able to still do overnights, and weekends! Simply cannot do 24/7 stays. I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!

About: I have been caring for dogs for more than 35 years and have owned several dogs throughout my life. I currently have a dog named Henry, who is a beloved member of my family. Living with and caring for dogs over the years have taught me. how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or patient care while you're away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attention I give to my own. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own dog, Henry, every day, so walks, feeding, playtime, and attention are built into my schedule. As a dog lover, I am always available to care for pets, provide a reliable service, companionship, exercise, and plenty of love for the pets I look after. As a part time teacher with summers off, I are very flexible! When caring for pets in a client's home, we follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. We provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. We also respect our clients' homes, keep them tidy, and provide updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I grew up with dogs, and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Genesee County in Michigan as a teenager and at Soul Dog Rescue in Colorado as an adult. I have experience walking and handling all kinds of dogs and I've loved every minutes of it! I'm a WFH tech research worker so I understand the importance of routine and responsibility when it comes to care services. My apartment complex now sadly doesn't allow dogs otherwise I would have one of my own. The silver lining is that I'll use that energy to love and care for your pup as my own :). I have a full time work from home job so my hours are flexible during the week to attend to your pup! I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space. I love to keep routines as normal and expected as possible, so I'm likely to ask questions about what your dog expects on a day-to-day basis so I can reduce disruption and be a source of fun/comfort for your pet.
About: 52 years old, cyclist, yogi, gardener. I’m genuinely committed to the belief that all souls deserve to experience loving arms, care and acceptance during their lifetime. Part time knitting and crochet instructor. Home most days and every weekend. Currently working at my own leisure and looking to do more service for the dependent ones. Please allow time for cellphone notifications to arrive. Technology is great but it can fail us. I live in a single family home with a fenced in yard and a full front porch. I love to garden. My favorite time of day is sunset and my favorite day is Monday. I can go to your home or your babies can come here.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog Benji (a golden doodle) ever since he was a baby! I’ve always loved dogs but taking care of him and seeing him grow up has been the best experience. I’ve learned how dogs need to be nurtured and how to be more attentive and patient towards them. They just want love! I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule so i will have more than enough time to take care of your puppies and cats! Anything that you need me to do to keep your pet as safe as possible, i will happily do! Making sure your pet is taken care of and safe is my top priority.
About: Hi, I’m Sophie Water, a senior Honors student at the University of Michigan! I offer dependable, caring, and flexible pet-sitting services for your furry friend—whether you’re going away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip. I can provide drop-in visits or overnight sitting, tailored to your pet’s needs! I also pride myself on sending excessive amounts of pet pictures to you (unless requested that I don’t). As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from them, no matter how long it is. I’ve grown up with at least four pets and have over 7 years of experience with pet-sitting. I’m passionate about animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. SERVICES I OFFER: Drop-in Visits: For feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any medication if needed. Overnight Sitting: I stay at your home to ensure your pet is never left alone overnight. Pet Care for All Animals: I am definitely open to watching all kinds of pets! Please submit additional pets with your original requests and I will follow-up as soon as I can! Additional Tasks: If you need help with things like bringing in the mail, watering plants, or any other small tasks while you’re away, I can definitely assist! FREE CONSULTATION AVAILABLE My resume, more detailed proof of experience, references, and service rates are available upon request. Please feel free to message me through Rover if you’re interested in any of the above services. I’d be happy to schedule a free consultation to meet and discuss details further prior to booking. Super excited to meet you and your pets! I am a college senior at UofM, and am about to graduate. Most of my coursework and internship work can be done remotely and asynchronously, so I’m flexible and willing to adapt to your pet’s needs!! I also am from the Metro Detroit area and can stay with family there, so if you’re looking for services there I may be able to still help out. Unfortunately, my current lease agreement doesn’t allow me to have pets in my own home. That being said, I find that this is often a comfort to most pets. It can be a tough adjustment when both your owner and home are suddenly gone! I do my best to make sure I follow your pet’s routine to the best of my ability. I also take into consideration pet personalities, likes and dislikes, and try my hardest to intuitively and empathetically care for them. As someone who grew up with pets of all temperaments (from escape artists to insanely energetic to couch potatoes), I am able to build relationships with each pet individually and anticipate their wants and needs. Pets are just as smart (if not smarter ;) than people, and I make it a given that I treat them as such. There are no silly questions or requests! I am happy to cater to what YOU believe and know your pet needs, and work especially hard to keep you updated (unless you request against it). I’m a super cautious and paranoid person, which at times can be a negative. In terms of pet care, though, this means that nothing will slip through the cracks. Any concerns that may in the past have gone unnoticed will be meticulously catered to. I hope you’ll trust that your pets are just as important to me as my own, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they have the safest and best time they can with me!

“Angie and her family are absolutely amazing! This was Broly’s second time staying with them, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and love they gave him.

“Chelsie has a great setup for boarding your dogs. She communicates with updates daily. Drop off and pick up are super easy. Will definitely be utilizing again. Appreciate and trust her taking care of our dog!”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“We boarded our two dogs with Brittany for 3 days. She was quick to respond to our boarding request and accommodated a scheduled that worked for us to do the meet & greet. She was patient with us even when I was delinquent in providing immediate responses to her questions. During the stay she sent us tons of pictures of the boys at her place having fun. She also coordinated with another sitter who was picking them from her place. Overall Brittany is just awesome and I highly recommend.”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.

I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Great pet sitters! Jin and Brian, along with their sweet kids, took amazing care of my cat. They kept me updated with photos every day, played with him, and made sure his food and all of his conditions were perfect. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he had the best possible experience. This was my cat’s first time being around another cat since he was a few months old, so I was nervous at first since they already have a cat. But they handled everything so well — my cat was never scared and felt comfortable right away. I truly appreciated their care and attention. I definitely recommend them!”
“Megan was amazing! I was really glad she could take care of my dog! I know My dog and i can tell when he gets depressed depending on the sitter and my dog came back very happy! Thanks Megan!”
“Great experience. Pickup and drop off were timely, Jason understood what we were asking for with our senior pup, and everything worked out swimmingly. 10/10, would book again. We even got photos while we were gone. I always appreciate that.”
“Zayda loved staying with Melissa and Willow. She was easy to communicate with via the app, flexible with dropoff/pickup, and sent daily updates and photos. Zayda came home exhausted from her fun week of playing with Willow and happily slept all day. She was happy and content when we picked her up. 10/10 would reccomend, great location for those traveling from MI to Canada or vice versa!”
“This girl is soooo amazing that my Zeus has definitely been missing her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Super Needy Zooter Pooter. I will definitely be calling you for any future needs”
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
“Great communication and eased my nerves with how they were doing! Felt very comfortable with her taking care of my two big fur babies. Loved that she had lots of property that’s fenced in for them to run and her own dogs for them to play with!! They slept the whole day after they got home!!! Definitely will rebook soon!”
“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”
