“Lukis took fantastic care of my cat, an almost 8-year old sassy orange tabby. This was over thanksgiving week, and Lukis was extremely communicative, kind, and caring. Thank you so much for your fantastic care - I will definitely be booking with you whenever I am in Detroit area!!”
“Kristina was fantastic, my dog felt instantly comfortable with her and had a great time hanging out. Kristina is punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”
“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”
“Nicole cared for our 2, high maintenance Great Danes for a week in our home. She was fabulous. Our younger Dane has separation anxiety when we leave. Nicole was able to conquer his anxiety and gain his trust quickly. He was going outside ,eating and playing with toys. The older Dane was receiving his own attention and playtime. We came home to happy dogs, clean house and delicious cookies. I’m already booking with her again. She’s a gem!”
“Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!”
“Zaria was such a gift! She went above and beyond caring for our three cats—two of whom are on medication—with so much love and attentiveness. The house was spotless when we got home, and the cats were relaxed, happy, and somehow getting along even better than before we left. She’s kind, reliable, and just a joy to work with. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I work full time, but I primarily work nights, so I’m available while most people are at work. I also love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. We have a specific room with toys, a bed, and plenty of attention from me that’s designed for your pet to have a great stay. We have a water fountain for cats, and a large water dish for dogs, and plenty of treats and love to provide.
About: Hi! I’m Daniella — a dog lover and active walker based in downtown Detroit. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet couch time, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. My work is flexible so I can give your dog plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes after each walk or visit. I live downtown and have a flexible work schedule so I am easily able to go on walks, runs, or be home whenever it’s planned for. I live in a spacious apartment near capitol park dog park and the river walk. I have a car so I'm happy to host here or go to you.
“Bre did an awesome job keeping me updated with everything and anything she did for my dog Bulleit. She made it really easy to go out of town and not have to have any worry or concern on how he was doing. Will be booking again!”
About: I really enjoy being around dogs or just animals period. I don’t have any pets of my own right now but I plan to adopt one when I have the space. I’ve been looking after my neighbors, friends, and family pets my whole life. I’ve looked after so many dogs & cats, I really think that’s the second reason I don’t have any pets right now. It’s like I have over 10 dogs of my own already. 😂 But all jokes aside, just know your fur baby will be safe with me. 🥰 Side note: I used to volunteer at the Animal Shelters all the time. Unfortunately I haven’t lately. 😔 I plan to start back soon. With that being said, allow me to look after your pet(s) while you enjoy your vacation, business trip, or just simply need a break etc. 😊 I look forward to seeing your precious doggo! 😍 P.S. Some of you may recognize your pets. I’ve looked after your pets with a family member that has an account. I really enjoyed loving on ALL the fur babies that came into her home. I decided to make an account because I enjoyed playing, loving, walking, training and having fun with all the dogs. I’m currently working full time 6am-2pm. I could most definitely spend my evening by looking after your precious fur baby, take them on a walk & play with them. I have plenty of time on my hands after work. I’m available around 11am on my off days Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m willing to adjust my hours on them days just let me know what works for you. I will care for your pets by loving, playing and cuddling with them. Most importantly making sure they have a safe environment and feel loved.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I love to pet sit for anyone looking for help over the weekend. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life, all toy breeds. I have had my Staffordshire bull terrier Roxy for 5 years and she loves other dogs - although she is very high energy so that must be suitable for your dog. I have met the nicest people and dogs through Rover and feel lucky to be a part of this community. I live in a 2 bedroom, upper flat floor apartment, with a Roxy and her cat sister Raisin. I have an unfenced backyard and am 1 block from a gated dog park. I have extensive practice in administering oral and injectable medications for animals. My work schedule varies as I work in the medical field, but I generally work for 8 hours during the day. I am home on weekends and tend to spend most of my day with my pets, and yours too! I provide regular potty breaks and walks. I will oversee all meals. I keep the environment free of anything harmful to pets like toxic plants or foods. I am happy to incorporate whatever rules you wish.
“Erin is by far one of the best people you can book. Period. My dog loves her and she is amazing to work with. She constantly sends updates and pictures of my dog when I'm away. Whenever I have her house sit, it's almost like nobody ever stayed over. She is very tidy to the point where I question if she even stayed 😂. Whenever I go on vacation Erin is my first and only Rover that I would want to book. If I could rate her 6 stars, I would!”
About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet care! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have become a frequent sitter for animals in my social circle. I've cared for pets across a range of sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages. I used to work as a volunteer and foster through Michigan Humane, and have experience with lots of different pets and situations. I currently live with a 2-year-old Lab mix and a 14-year-old Shiba Inu. Please reach out if there is anything in particular you want to discuss in advance! I am available for walks and drop-ins on most days between 8am - 4pm. My calendar reflects my availability during that timeframe. I can accommodate most sitting requests if your pet can be left alone for brief periods. (If you are looking for evening care on a day marked unavailable, please feel free to get in touch, as I am often available after 5pm on those days, but the app doesn’t allow the calendar to reflect this). When your pet is in my care I treat them like they are my own. I love getting to know their quirks and if you have any specific routines for them that I can help maintain while you’re away!
“Nicole was wonderful! She came over before her housesitting to get the instructions and meet me and my two dogs, and then arrived right on time when she said she would. She walked the dogs twice a day, sent me pictures regularly, and my house was left in perfect order. I would definitely recommend her and will call upon her again.”

Crystal is incredible. We were in a tough spot, needing to find a dog sitter on short notice and thankfully Crystal came into our life at the perfect time. She is a true professional and took care of our pup as if he was her own. She sent countless photos, videos, and messages to make sure we were fully aware of how it was going while we were away which gave us total peace of mind. 100% recommend!
Olivia was great! One of my pets is extremely anxious but she still took care of him and he seemed to warm up to her. We had sick pets and she took care of them. I was a little worried bc as much as I love my pets, I know they are not easy to take care of so the fact that Olivia and my babies got along tells me how great she is.
Lauren is an amazing house sitter. Our original plan was for her to only be around during the day, but while I was gone my pup had some stomach issues and Lauren made sure to stay with her nearly 24/7 while I was away. 10/10, can’t recommend Lauren enough!!!
Ashton was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets adored her immediately, even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her right away. She left our house clean and our pets so happy. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ashton!
Abdullah was a great sitter for my old pup, had prompt communication and pictures, and followed the notes for feeding and walking times. My dog is older in life, about 75 lbs, with limited use of his hind legs and takes daily medication. Abdullah was able to maneuver him into his wagon, help him while outside in the grass, and take care of any accidents. It was a great experience working with Abdullah from initial communication about the booking to post trip follow-up.
