“Our first time using Rover was with Denae and we could not speak more highly of our experience with her! She was so communicative, showed up exactly on the schedule we discussed, and gave our fur babies so much love and attention. We felt so confident they were in good hands the entirety of our trip and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“I’ve used Abby twice and I know she takes care of my pets like her own. I get frequent updates and she does a few extras for me at the house. She is dependable and caring. I feel very confident leaving my pets in her care.”
“Matthew was a great catsitter for our weekend trip. He left detailed notes about how our cats were doing while we were gone, what care he did, the state of their litter boxes, etc. and sent great photos for us of our babies to look forward to each day. He was on-time, attentive and kind during our meet-and-greet a few days before we left town. Would definitely recommend & book again!”
“Lillian was great to work with. Myka loved spending time with her. Lillian took good care of our girl and helped with some small household tasks as well. She sent us pics and updates and spent even more time with Myka every day than specified in the services. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.
“Ashley was friendly, a clear communicator, shared many photos of our boys while we were away, and we came home to 2 happy and healthy cats. We would definitely hire Ashley again.”
About: I have taken care of puppies and senior pets since I was 7. What sets me apart is my ability to personalize care to each pet’s unique requirements. For puppies, I offer early training and socialization, helping them build good habits from the start. With senior pets, I focus on comfort and mobility, providing extra attention to their health needs and ensuring a calm, safe environment. My patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals ensure that every pet in my care receives personalized and compassionate attention. I currently go to Eastern Michigan University and work during the weekends so I have plenty of time after class to take care of your pups! Im available weekdays Monday through Thursday. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. This includes feeding, exercising, and providing companionship. I ensure their environment is clean, engaging, and secure, following instructions given from the pet owner. Regular updates and communication with the client will be offered to ensure peace of mind for both the pet and the owner.
“Hannah did an amazing job watching our cat! She did an excellent job attending to her needs (food, water, litter, pets & snuggles). She took lots of pictures and kept us updated during her visits. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Thank you so much, you went above and beyond! Normally it takes a visit or two with a new person before she lets you pet her! This is my first time using rover but I'll be sure to contact you again in the future as needed. I hope she can continue to warm up to you!”
About: I've been a lifelong pet lover and understand that pets are family. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pup while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply keeping me company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I go into the office in the late morning or around lunch time Monday through Thursday. I work from home on Friday and have the weekends free. I prioritize spending time with my own pet in the mornings, after 5:30m, and throughout the day on the weekends, this is how I would care for your pet as well! I will not do overnight stays at another home, but I will provide daytime care at your home and overnight care at my own home.
About: I love dogs and cats and am always happy to make new furry friends. I grew up with cats and have a dog of my own now. I work remote so I am available all day to pet sit, walk the animal, and even do check ins every few hours. Whatever works best for the owner! I care for them like they are my own. I know the trust I put in others when I leave my animals with them so I would want the owner to have full trust in me!
About: I absolutely love dogs! I’ve been dogsitting since my grandparents let me (8 years old) and haven’t looked back since. I miss my family dog and am in need of an animal to love on. I’m super used to all types of dogs from the more aggressive friendly type to more shy ones and love them all. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and taken care of while you’re out. I work for the before and aftercare program for AAPS so I would be gone 2-3 hours in the morning and 3-4 hours in the afternoon. I am able to spend my midday caring for your pet and making sure they get out for a walk/get some pets in! I’m very thankful my job allows for me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I love giving pets company and making sure we spend quality time together. I love going for walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling (depending on the energy levels).
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Alongside providing loving day-to-day care, I’ve also fostered senior dogs and supported animals with health conditions such as diabetes and Cushing’s disease, giving them the patience, attention, and gentle care they deserve. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I currently work a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I help care for the pets at my house but there are three other people able to help. Just chat about your plans are we can make it work! I have 3 dogs of my own. And they are the babies of the house! We take them for regular walks, to the dog park and out in the yard. Two of them are seniors with arthritis so massages are included every evening after dinner.
“Greyson already knew my one cat Ozzy and he was automatically comfortable knowing they were back. My other cat Sweetie hadn't met them before so Greyson was kind enough to come over for a meet and greet before the stay. She mostly hid, only coming out for one far away glance. Despite Sweeties initial trepidation it was so sweet to watch the progress through Greysons notes and pictures of Sweetie getting comfortable with them to the point of being willing to bug them for breakfast.”

Christine was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure my pets were cared for, especially the 2 elderly ones. While we were gone, I had a family member doing some of the check ins as well, and Christine's care was far superior. It's obvious she cares deeply for animals. I'm so incredibly grateful and I'll be recommending her to everyone!
Matthew was a great catsitter for our weekend trip. He left detailed notes about how our cats were doing while we were gone, what care he did, the state of their litter boxes, etc. and sent great photos for us of our babies to look forward to each day. He was on-time, attentive and kind during our meet-and-greet a few days before we left town. Would definitely recommend & book again!
Lacy was an amazing sitter. She communicated throughout her stay and actively gave updates on how our cat was doing. She played with him, brushed him, fed him, and gave him all the love as if he was her own cat. We would happily choose Lacy as our sitter again.
Christine saved our holiday stepping in very last minute and taking care of our two 5 month old kittens. One of them needed daily medicine and a lot of attention. She brought a calm and caring energy and was very professional and communicative. We are so grateful and would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
