“Nurra was wonderful with my two dogs! I made a last-minute request, and she was kind enough to accommodate it, which I really appreciated. She was professional, polite, and a great communicator throughout the drop-in visits. She even went the extra mile by taking the dogs for a walk. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend Nurra to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

I make my own schedule, so I’m happy to fit in drop in care and walks for your pets! There’s nothing better than a bit of quality time with a beloved animal. I’m very cautious and doting on my own dogs and have been lucky and grateful to always have people care for mine tenderly when I’m away, so in turn I will always go above and beyond to make sure yours are comfy, happy, and safe.
“Aurora went above an beyond! She was super attentive and responsive. She also gave us excellent updates so I felt super secure while I was out of town. I'm pretty sure my pets are disappointed that she won't be visiting them everyday anymore after my trip. For my next trip I would definitely like to book with her again to look over my fur babies!”

In order to let the owner know that their pet is content and well-cared for, I will also adhere to any special instructions they may provide and provide frequent updates and pictures!

If I could give her 6 stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Shelly and would definitely trust her with Tommy again.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, fish, and turtles. Growing up with dogs of all breeds has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, from energetic puppies to pets needing extra attention. I’ve cared for multiple families’ pets while they were away, including senior dogs and overnight stays, and have built trust through reliable care, regular updates, photos, and easy communication. I love providing pets with plenty of playtime, affection, and even a few extra surprises like new toys. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I currently work part-time in retail with shorter shifts, which allows me to dedicate quality time throughout the week to caring for pets. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate overnight stays if needed. I do my best to be flexible and am happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while making sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Building trust with every pet is my top priority. I take a gentle, patient approach and allow each animal to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel safe and secure. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals according to their routine, and lots of affection while always respecting their comfort level. I also make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westland
We really appreciate Lynn for taking such good care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats). Lynn is very attentive to their needs -- not just their food and medications, but sitting and being with them. Plus we enjoy the pictures of each pet that she sends after every visit. This was our 8th time with Lynn caring for them. We highly recommend her!
Kristina was great, she came beforehand and met the pups. Took time to understand everything that was needed. Went above and beyond with very little notice. Gave great updates and photos, even spent a little extra time and care for our pups. Will most definitely reach out to her again without hesitation.
Highly highly recommended! Chelsea was punctual, and our dogs absolutely loved her! She made sure to give them potty breaks, and always make sure they had freshwater! I especially enjoyed receiving pictures from her visit. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
Layne did such a great job watching our German Shepherd! She didn’t mind coming over multiple times while I worked my long shift and was awesome at following directions to meet his special needs. She’s been easy to communicate with and we plan to keep asking her to watch our boy in the future
Mary was very attentive to my three dogs. She brought them a stuffed lobster which was so cute! My girl dog was upset from fireworks and she was there to console her and clean up her mess. Ik how has it is with three dogs but she was able to take it on! 10/10!!
Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Westland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
