“Arden was wonderful, followed all our directions, gave love and excellent care to our friendly fur baby and considerate and respectful of our very shy guy. 10/10 would recommend her services to anyone, you won't regret it!”

“Melanie impressed me from the start! This was the first time leaving my two kittens (5 months) over the weekend. But I felt 100% comfortable with Melanie, from our meet and greet through the end of my time away. I would recommend her for sure.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, and at one point we had 12 indoor dogs, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. They were never “just pets” to us; they were family, and that’s how I’ve always believed animals should be treated. I’ve also cared for cats and have experience dog sitting, so I’m comfortable looking after pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d care for my own. I take classes two days a week and spend the rest of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention and care. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions provided by the owner and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and companionship they deserve. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Barb was absolutely PERFECT!! Her impeccable attention to detail, not to mention her TLC in her care for Kodi made my trip so much more enjoyable and stress free! I was also really impressed by her interest in answering all of my questions, while being responsive to ANY concerns I might have had. That pretty much handled ANY worries or concerns with regard to Kodi being alone without me for three days. I will definitely be requesting Barb again whenever I need a sitter any time in the future! Craig Marsden”

“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! She was always punctual, communicated consistently, and took excellent care of Finny. She kept his litter box and feeding area clean, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Theresa was fantastic! She did her best to make sure beans was as taken care of as possible in our absence. I would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your furry friend.”

“Ana was very responsive and extremely easy to communicate with. She kept us updated at all times and took exceptionally good care of our fur babies! I highly recommend Ana and would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! From my first pet cat I just knew there was nothing like the love of a pet. I have 3 children and a husband that feel the same! We have two well loved labs and are always excited to meet new furry friends! I have the ability to work from home. My office is only two miles away so I can easily be free to love your fur baby while your unavailable. My yard is unfenced however we can run a long line. We do have an invisible fence that works great with our two Labs. You’re fur baby will be well attended to and played with. We have animal loving children and two sweet Labs to keep them company.
“Aubrey did a wonderful job dropping in for my dog Lou. Aubrey knew we’d be gone for a long day so she made sure to spend lots of time playing with Lou to get her energy out. She gave a cute picture and a very detailed update which reassured us that our sweet girl was in great hands and that all of our instructions were being followed perfectly. We will definitely be having Aubrey back again and highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them is basically second nature to me. I’m the kind of person who baby-talks every animal I see, stops to say hello to every pup on a walk, and ends up in the corner of a party hanging out with the host’s pet instead of socializing with the humans. Friends, family, and even complete strangers have told me for years that I should have gone into veterinary medicine because of how naturally I connect with animals. Instead, I work in a hospital laboratory helping people. It’s fulfilling, but there’s nothing quite like a healthy dose of puppy cuddles. This year, I lost both of my girls, and their absence has left a huge hole in my heart. My home is much quieter without them, and I have a whole lot of love with nowhere to go. That’s what brought me to Rover. I’d love nothing more than to spoil your pets with that extra love while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in safe, caring, and responsible hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including young dogs who need patience, playtime, and structure as they learn, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra attention and TLC. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll play with them, talk to them (probably way too much), give them plenty of affection, respect their routines, and absolutely accept any and all slobbery kisses. Your pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away and I’m the girl for the job. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I work full-time on the night shift, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility during the day. I work four 10-hour shifts each week and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, so weekends are especially easy for me to accommodate. That said, I’m more than happy to help during the week, too! Because I work nights, my sleep schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it around pet-care needs when I have advance notice. Depending on the day, I may sleep right after getting home in the morning, stay up for a while and sleep later in the afternoon, or even split my sleep into a couple of naps. Basically, as long as I know when you’ll need me, I can plan my schedule around your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is to make pet care fit seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine while giving you peace of mind that someone dependable is there for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or have questions about their care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m unable to board pets at my place right now. I’m completely comfortable caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable. I’ve also stayed at friends’ and family members’ homes for days or even weeks at a time to care for their pets, so I’m comfortable with house sitting when needed. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to let your pet out for a potty break, give them some exercise and playtime, feed them if needed, and spend some quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Above all, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.
About: Hello! I’m Grace aka the dog whisperer 😊 Caring for dogs is truly my passion, both at home and professionally. I have two dogs of my own, one who is two years old and one who is eleven, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, energy levels, temperaments, and care styles that come with both puppies/young adults and senior dogs. Aside from that, I have a rescue dog of my own who is two years old. I currently work as a canine care specialist and kennel attendant, where I care for dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From very small dogs to large breeds like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My responsibilities include feeding, potty breaks, safe socialization, and making sure each dog is comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and attentiveness, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, both personally and professionally. I work in the pet care field during the week, so caring for animals is something I do daily and genuinely enjoy. At this time, my availability is primarily on weekends, which are generally open unless I communicate otherwise in advance. I’m very upfront about my schedule and always make sure expectations are clear so pets receive consistent, attentive care. Because pet care is already a major part of my life, I’m comfortable building it into my routine and giving each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment. Exercise and playtime are a big part of my approach to care. I make sure each dog gets appropriate physical activity and mental stimulation based on their age, energy level, and routine. Along with plenty of play and affection, I stay consistent with the basics, regular feeding, fresh water at all times, and close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with complete respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, and make sure the home is left just as it was found. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and genuine care, and I always strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
“Kristin did an outstanding job of caring for my cat while I was in hospital. I greatly appreciated her flexibility in extending the dates more than once, and the pics I received daily always showed a happy kitty enjoying lots of attention. 😸”

“Diana did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were away. We received cute pictures of our cat throughout the weekend and when we got back everything was neat and tidy. Diana is very friendly and responsive. We would highly recommend her services.”


About: I provide attentive, warm, and trustworthy care for your dog’s routine. Whether it’s high-energy walks, daily playtime, or just quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels loved and secure. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and maintaining clear communication so you have complete peace of mind. Since I work a main job during the day, pet sitting fits smoothly into my schedule on weekdays after 4:00 PM. I love using that time for evening play and walks! For weekends, I have open availability and can easily adjust my hours according to your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet care at the client’s house. I keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings by following their daily routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Being in their own home helps them stay relaxed and stress-free
“We hired Jen to do a drop in visit for our cat while we were out of town. Jen was super communicative, she was willing to stop by to meet our cat ahead of time. Very sweet and flexible, we appreciated her updates and photos/videos :)”

About: Growing up i’ve always had / fostered dogs and been passionate for animals. Additionally, I have experience working at a pet store. I would love to take my love for dogs and cats and turn it into something I can help others with. I am currently attending college as a commuter but have a pretty open schedule. I am open to nightly stays or just visits and playtime with your pup or cat! I will always keep watch and make sure the dogs are satisfied. If needed I can bathe and walk them, i’ll do whatever it takes so you know they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. From small lap dogs to large breeds, I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and family have often trusted me with their pets because I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already built into the way I live. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention are second nature to me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve while their owner is away My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t changed, even while you’re away. I follow the instructions you provide, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and be themselves. At my home, I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wixom
Our boy Ginger has never been easy with strangers and was definitely a grumpy boy when he first met Arden. However, she soon won him over with her calm demeanor and deep understanding of cat behavior. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Her communication was top-notch, keeping us updated with daily messages, pictures, and videos while we were away. We highly recommend Arden.

We had such a great experience with Kelsey watching our dogs while we were away for our wedding. She was so trustworthy, caring, and dependable, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and important weekend. She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, and we would absolutely trust her to watch them again. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again🤍

We could not have been happier with Kaitlyn. She was dependable and incredibly caring with our cats. She gave us wonderful updates and photos which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away We returned home to happy cats. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible and loving pet sitter.

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! She was always punctual, communicated consistently, and took excellent care of Finny. She kept his litter box and feeding area clean, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!
