“Callie is great! She is so nice and patient. She responds in a timely manner and is loving towards our cats. She was very patient with our biggus grumpus - Whiskey. She kept our house nice and tidy. She is a pleasure to work with.”

“We have had Randi several times to stay at our house with our senior dog Ellie. Randi takes better care of Ellie than we do! She is very good at giving Ellie all of her different medications and taking her out for several walks during the day, she pays attention to exactly how Ellie is feeling and adjusts her care accordingly. She has great advice on healthy snacks for Ellie and non toxic skin care. She truly cares for our dog and we are grateful to know she is in good hands while we are away! Randi is also great with communication, even if I don’t always respond, she still sends me lots of pictures and updates so I know what’s going on. Thank you Randi!!!”
“Breanna stayed at my home for my senior dog. She did an incredible job! Left the house spotless, ensured George was cared for so well, and when I got back — he was sleeping comfortably and his routine was not disturbed in the least! She took care of him exactly how I would ! Def going to hire again and grateful for her kindness and communication (I got text every day multiple times to show me my happy pup)!”

“Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Casie is so amazing to our sweet Willow. She goes above and beyond to make sure she’s taken care of with all of her special needs. We never feel worried about leaving her because we know she is in good hands. High recommend Casie!”

About: Hi, we're both animal lovers who grew up with great pups! Theresa grew up with golden retrievers (Magellan and Rowan) and A.K. grew up with an Old English Sheepdog (Seymour). We both have experience with dogs from puppy to senior. Growing up, A.K. also dogsat for multiple families in his neighborhood. Theresa is a runner and would love to (with your permission) take your dog for a fun walk, jog, or adventure to the dog park. If your pup is more of a couch potato, A.K. will be their best friend. Our friends and family have lots of dogs so we're comfortable and familiar interacting with various breeds of dogs (Pugs, Poodles, Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Bernedoodles just to name a few). **We require a 2 night minimum for bookings besides for repeat clients** We both have some flexibility to work from home and are organized, diligent, and honest. Due to the nature of our careers and just having built a house we know how key customer service, safety, and communication are and we're always available by phone, email, text, app, etc. Our home is close to Midtown and Downtown Detroit and we designed it with our future dog(s) in mind! We have a dog wash in our mud room, a fenced in back/side yard, and a dedicated lit, sleeping/crate space on the 1st floor under the stairs (kinda like Harry Potter!) Our home has central air and all flooring is tile so any fluffy dogs will stay cool during the warmer months.
“The (4!) pets were so at ease with Lauren, even our skittish boy cat. She sent me lots of pictures and expertly handled my mom's cat-reactive pup. I would feel perfectly comfortable leaving our pets with Lauren again!”


“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. I was worried about my male cat taking his medication from someone else because he is so skittish of new people. Jessica got him comfortable right away so he did not miss a dose. She followed instructions for their care very well and was very communicative with us. She also sent lots of picture updates, which we appreciated so much! We would 100% hire her again.”

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Mabel and Marty. She stayed at my home for 10 days while I was away, and I could immediately tell when I got back that they had been so well cared for. They were calm, happy, and clearly engaged while I was gone — which says everything. Charlotte is incredibly sweet and attentive, and she went above and beyond in every way. She kept my house completely spotless, left the kindest note, and even had calming music and a dog channel playing on the TV when I arrived home so the dogs were comfortable and relaxed. It was such a thoughtful touch after a long trip. I felt totally at ease knowing my dogs and my home were in such great hands. I would 100% trust Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and responsible.”
“Tara was amazing taking care of our boys, even administering emergency meds when one had a seizure, and we were lucky to have found her. We would trust her in any situation.”
“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”

“Heather is an angel in every sense of the word. She is the type of person that restores confidence that there is still kindness and good nature in our world. I received some of the cutest photos of my 11 year old pit bull in complete peace while she was caring for him in our home. She went well above and beyond to care for him, getting extra treats from the store when we ran out and just really being there with him the way I would have if I had been home. I had the most stress free time away with my family because I knew Floyd was in good hands from the moment we did the meet and greet. The house was sincerely spotless when I came home too. I cannot cannot recommend Heather enough!!”

“Misty was amazing! She house/dog sat for us! Took great care of my pups and the house looked great too! She even stayed late because my flight was delayed getting home. Both dogs were looking for her the next morning…so I know it went well!”
“lauri helped us out recently with housesitting and watching our two cats - one of whom required medication twice daily and some other specifications throughout the day. lauri was great with caring for both him and his brother, giving them everything they needed and making sure that they were happy and healthy while we were away. she sent photos and detailed updates and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after them. we came home to happy cats and a well taken care of house - i would highly recommend lauri and will be booking with her again!”

“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing! We will definitely have her back! She took excellent care of our goldendoodle, sent pictures/updates every day, and went above and beyond to take care of our house while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with various breeds and ages. I’ve work with puppies, senior dogs, pitbulls, labs, doodles, and more. I am allergic to cats, so I am only available for dog bookings. Local to the Metro Detroit area looking to support dogs and their families 🫶 I’m am putting in my 2 weeks at my full time job on Monday and am looking for part time work doing what I love: caring for dogs. My schedule will be super flexible after 2/20/26 :) I am sadly living in a small apartment currently, but I’d be happy to care for dogs in a client’s home. I’m super type A and communicative. I would want to follow family instructions as closely as possible and provide a loving calm environment.
“Breanna is very kind, caring and did amazing with our pack. I would use her again! She took good care of our home and our pets are all happy. Very satisfied with her and would use her again for overnight stays in our home.”

West Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Randi put our minds at ease while we were out of the state for a long weekend. We’ve never left our dogs with anyone besides family before so we were naturally a little anxious, but we have no regrets having Randi stay with them! We can home to very happy dogs.

JJ was so amazing to work with. We had to leave our five month old puppy with a short notice and she stepped up to the occasion. She was able to come do a meet and greet beforehand, and she sent so many updates while we were away. Our pup loves play and enrichment, and she gave him so much time and attention to do his favorite things while we were gone. We highly recommend and had so much peace of mind with her care! Not to mention she’s punctual, a great communicator, and left the house spotless. Thank you, JJ!!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better house cat sitter. Victoria was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Our cat normally will be distant, aloof and slow to trust, yet he warmed up to Victoria remarkably fast—something that almost never happens. Her calm, intuitive, and genuinely caring approach made all the difference. I was truly amazed witnessing the bond the two created with each other. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a perfectly cared-for home, which speaks volumes. Having someone this trustworthy and attentive gave us complete peace of mind. She is very pleasant to converse with when giving daily updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.

Areatha was great with my cat, Agatha. She sent photos and videos almost every day so I knew that Agatha was being well taken care of. She was very responsive to all my messages before and during the sit. When my flight home was cancelled and I had to take a flight the next day, Areatha was great about watching Agatha one more day. I highly recommend her.

THE BEST!!!! Kelly gave our animals the best care! We came back and everything was tidy and orderly and our pets were happy and tuckered out from the walks and playtime. She went above and beyond in the winter storm to help shovel while we were gone. Would welcome her back anytime to watch our furry friends!
