About: Hi there! I’m Carla, a lifelong animal lover with a full, happy home of dogs of my own. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—senior snugglers, shy pups, high-energy adventurers, and everything in between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every animal and home with genuine care and respect. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Whether they enjoy calm cuddle time, enrichment walks, or playful companionship, I adapt to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment. I spend quality time in the home so pets receive companionship, consistency, and a sense of normalcy while you’re away. I pride myself on leaving your home the same — if not better — than when you left. For clients who would like extra help while traveling, I’m happy to assist with home refreshes, deeper cleaning, organizing, plant care, or other agreed-upon household tasks for an additional fee. I work well with advance bookings and love building lasting relationships with returning clients. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care from someone who truly enjoys animals, I would love to help! I understand the comfort of knowing both your pets and your home are in reliable hands while you’re away. I take pride in being honest, respectful, and trustworthy — treating every home and pet with the same care I would expect for my own. I am available most weekdays and weekends, at any time. I have a very open / flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate you! I live in Michigan, near Saginaw Bay, but am willing to travel anywhere in the state or country. I have 2 sons that live in St. Petersburg, FL, and am that way as much as I can to see them and would love any excuse to get me there, lol! I care for pets in their own home by following instructions carefully, maintaining a clean and safe environment, respecting the home, and ensuring pets feel calm, secure, and loved.
“Hannah was an absolute Joy to work with! She was amazing at communicating via updates and photos of my lil guy and she made sure to stop in and meet my pet face to face before sitting. She is patient and caring and won't shy away from any accidents your pet my have. My cat loved her and I'm sure other animals will too!”

“Lucilla was great! This was my first time using Rover and it did not disappoint. I had set up 30min drop-in visits and Lucilla was wonderful at sending updates and photos whenever she came to check in on Sampson. I would definitely suggested reaching out to her to take care of your furry family members.”

About: I've always loved animals of every kind. Growing up we've owned everything from rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ferrets, and even a fox. For years, Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, because they know I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'm currently available for late afternoons on Friday's and available on weekends. Message me if you have any questions. My children love meeting new puppies and being able to help take care of them. We have a fully fenced in half acre of backyard for the doggies to play in. I have three friendly dogs that are open to anything. Cooper is our bluetick coonhound, Piper is our Husky mix, and Audrey Shepburn is our white German shepherd. We also have three children ages 4, 9, and 13.

About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
