About: Hiya! I’m John, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From my loyal Black Lab Doc, playful Mini Aussie Sakura, and regal Siberian cat Louis, to my tiny but demanding pea puffers, I’ve built a life surrounded by animals, learning how to meet their needs with patience, compassion, and respect. I’ve helped care for animals with a range of personalities and needs, from high-energy pups to sensitive or reactive pets who need a little extra space and understanding. I’m confident with medication management, basic training, and making even the shyest pets feel safe and seen. I bring the same sense of care and responsibility to pet sitting that I carried in my service as a U.S. Navy Veteran, and now as a Pre-Med Biology student. When I’m not studying or volunteering with the Belle Isle Conservancy, I’m often biking around Detroit or spending time with animals. They’re a grounding and joyful part of my life. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority. Whether they need a cuddle buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m here to treat them like family. My schedule is generally open and flexible, and I do my best to accommodate the unique needs of each pet and their family. While I occasionally travel, I only accept bookings when I know I can fully commit to your pet’s care. When I’m with your animals, they have my full attention, I stick to their routines, respect their comfort levels, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. When I enter someone’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always aim to leave things just as I found them, if not a little tidier. I also take time to scan the environment for anything that could pose a risk or distraction to your pet, making sure the space stays safe, calm, and just the way you left it. Your home and your pet’s routine are in good hands.

About: Back again and ready to care for your pups like family! 🐾 I’ve had my own dog for 9 years—he’s off-leash trained, never needed a crate, and truly part of our home.

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.

Virginia Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!
