Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Alden Park

“Sprout is super shy and nervous around most people. But Mary Kay took the time to give lots of treats and she is incredibly patient with Sprout. She also sent lots of cute photo updates which I appreciated. I will definitely be booking again for drop ins and/or overnight sitting!”

“Emily was so supportive and helpful while giving my sweet baby his medication. She researched the best process and also made sure Artemis was comfortable before, during and after. I will definitely reach out for any future help!”

“Lukis is amazing! I had such a great experience and can’t recommend them highly enough. They took loving care of my cat while I was away for the night, and it really put my mind at ease. Not only did they make sure he was fed and comfortable, but they also handled his insulin injection with care and confidence, which meant a lot to me, since I know it may not be easy or comfortable to do. Throughout the entire process, Lukis was incredibly communicative and kept me updated making sure I knew my cat was in good hands. That level of attentiveness and professionalism made everything feel easy and stress-free. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! Truly a relief knowing Lukis is trusted, reliable, and caring 🖤🙂 They also took care of girlfriend's cat on the same night 😺”

About: I've been around dogs most of my life, while taking care of 3 of my own. I'm currently training my dog to build a stronger bond. I'm currently working full time and training my dog daily. I have availability on weekends and weekday evenings as needed. Let me know what you're looking for. I will work on building trust with your fur baby, allowing them time to adjust to a new person in their space. I need to know their likes, dislikes, and routine if they have one.

“Carli is fantastic with our puppy. She started watching her when she was 11 weeks old. Carli writes detailed updates with pictures so we always feel informed.”

About: It started with a cat and two fish as family pets when I was little, and my love of all creatures has expanded to include even rodents and reptiles. I have fostered many dogs, raised and trained puppies & kittens from 5 weeks old, worked patiently with fearful/anxious dogs to gain their trust, nursed dogs and cats through health crises and the struggles of old age and failing health. I am certified in cat & dog first aid by the Humane Society of America. I’m new to the area and currently establishing my routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability. I am available for sitting in your home any day of the week, including holidays. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and take responsibility seriously. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. My goal is always to keep your pets happy and your space well cared for.

“Nicole is the best! Knowing she is going to drop in on Louis always gives me peace of mind when I’m out. I feel so lucky that she even spends extra time with my pup!”

About: I worked at Premier Pet Supply for a year and a half, and LOVE dogs!! I am also very active and am used to walking my 50lb pitbull who knows how to pull😂 I am currently a full-time student who works a part-time job! I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!

“Alicyn was fantastic! She is very attentive and caring. She left detailed reviews after each drop-in, which made sure my trip was stress free. Definitely recommend!”

“Katherine was amazing watching our pets for us, she left us detailed notes and photos of all our animals!! We would definitely use her again to watch our pets!”

About: Grew up with pets but can’t have my own right now. I’m looking to help others and get to have be around pets part time! I am self employed with flexible hours every day of the week. I go on daily walks so having a dog by my side would make them even better! I’m kind and gentle and pets gravitate towards me. I’m great at problem solving and always love to send photo updates of your fur babies.

About: Growing up in a home filled with as many as 15 dogs at any given time, I was immersed in the world of professional dog training from an early age. My mother, a certified service and therapy dog trainer with CCPDT and IAABC credentials, passed on her wealth of knowledge to me as I assisted her in training and caring for our foster dogs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience in handling and training dogs of all temperaments. While I am currently working toward my own certification, my background allows me to provide expert-level care and understanding for your pets. I am confident that my lifelong experience can offer the perfect balance of love, care, and discipline that every dog needs. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter—I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved companions. By day, I’m a director at a small airline which I work from home, which means I’ve got plenty of time to hang out and play with your best friend! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays—let’s make sure your furry friends get the fun and attention they deserve! My home offers the perfect environment for your pup to play and relax. I have a fenced yard with a large sun shade, plenty of toys, and video surveillance for added peace of mind. Your dog will enjoy fresh, filtered water and healthy treats (with their human'a permission). For dietary reasons, their humans must provide their dog's food. Your pup is welcome to roam freely inside the house, but if you prefer them to be crated, I can accommodate that as well—just bring their crate along. Rest assured, your furry friend will be safe and comfortable in a clean, well-maintained, smoke-free home. As mentioned in my bio, I have extensive experience in dog care and training. Training services are also available for an additional fee for both the furry students and humans.

“We have a high maintenance multiple cat situation that Chelsea handled without a hitch. She asked great questions during our initial meet, and was prompt, attentive and kind to our cats. She gave me an update every visit along with photos of each cat so I knew they were all accounted for and doing ok. Would hire again and highly recommend.”

About: I am excited to watch your fur friend. I have 2 Chihuahuas named Kahlo and Biscotti. They bark, but are sweet and love to play with other dogs. I work full time from home, so your pet will get loads of attention. I go for walks 2 to 3 times a day. I also have a gated area in my yard for small to medium dogs to roam freely. I have cared for many pets before. As a kid, I had everything from dogs, to chinchillas, turtles, and fish. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Just let me know the specifics of your routine, and I will honor it with your pup. I like to get up and move arround at the bottom of each hour so honoring your specific regimen will be no problem. I work from home during the week. I am very dependable. I have cleaned houses for extra cash for 7 years and have been trusted in many homes. My pups get plenty of attention, play time, timely meals, and so will yours!

“Erik did a fantastic job of caring for my kitties! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request, his communication with me was perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he took with my cats and my home. I’ll definitely be calling him again! Thank you, Erik!”

About: I grew up taking every opportunity I could to care for and spend time with my neighbors' dogs and had a family dog for 6 years. I have experience with administering oral and topical medications, as well as with treating minor wounds and infections. I also volunteer regularly at the Humane Society which has given me extra experience with dogs with trauma or disabilities, and senior or unsocialized dogs. I'm currently only working in-person during the evenings Monday-Thursday. Other than that I'm mostly working from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I unfortunately don't have a yard or lots of room in my apartment but I live only a short walk from a dog park, which I'd be able to visit regularly. I mostly work from home so I'm able to give frequent walks and snuggles!

“Heather was awesome. She took such great care of Sam and went the extra mile to make sure that my home was taken care of, too. She’s super prompt and courteous, will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips. Thanks, Heather!”

About: I’m out on my feet every day, exploring both city streets and neighborhood paths, and bringing dogs along for the adventure is the best part of my routine. I joined Rover as a way to meet more people in my community :) Pet care fits naturally into the way I already move through the world. Every dog I walk gets a route and pace tailored to them, because each animal has very different needs, and both deserve a great walk. You can count on me to show up, pay attention, and treat your pets like the priority they are. I am currently working part time in Ferndale and Oak Park, available on weekends as well for pet care and dog walking! I love meeting my neighbors. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pet, with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog’s routine is there for a reason, and I stick to it. Feeding schedules, rest time, the way they like their walk to end, I pay attention to the details you share and follow through on them. Consistency is what keeps pets calm when their person isn’t home, and I take that seriously. I’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. No news isn’t always good news, I’d rather you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My own space is calm and pet-free, so when I’m with your dog, my full attention is on them. No competing animals, no chaos, just a quiet, lowkey presence that lets anxious or sensitive dogs settle in comfortably. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays happy, and you stay informed. That’s the standard I hold myself to every visit.
