“Very happy I hired Timothy to walk our two huskies while out of town for four nights. I have never done it before because huskies can be a handful and I never trusted anyone else to walk my dogs, including my normal pet sitter, because of how strong and unpredictable my dogs are. But, I knew our youngest would go absolutely insane without any daily enrichment. Timothy showed up promptly each morning and provided a good report on each walk and some pictures showing the dogs panting, so I knew the walk tired them out, which was the whole point. I felt so much better knowing they were getting some exercise. Will definitely use the service again.”


About: I grew up with dogs and fish in my home. Since moving out and not being able to financially care for a pet, I thought I’d offer to watch and care for yours when you’re unavailable. I work full-time at a hospital so I will be offering my services on days I have off from there, where I work as a registered respiratory therapist. I am willing to stay in your home during the days I work if you are out of town. The only thing to be aware of is that my shifts are 12 hours long. I’m willing to stay in your home with your pet when you’re away from home and follow any schedules you may have for your pet.

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: Previous to moving back to MI, I was a dog foster with Dallas Animal Shelter. I also have my own two rescues. I have experience with a wide array of dogs including small chihuahuas to big ole mastiffs ! I love dogs! Each dog I fostered had medical needs and I am a nurse so I promise to care for your pups in the best possible way! So excited to meet you and your pup ! I am a nurse with a rotating schedule, which is great because I can revolve my schedule around your needs (with appropriate notice). I am happy to set up a weekly routine if that is what best fits your needs. I am happy to spend time with your doggy in their fenced yard, walks, and crate them as preferred. However, I do love dog cuddles, so they may be a little late to be crated!!

Olivia B.
“Olivia is my go-to dog sitter. She absolutely loves my Indy and treats him as if he were her own. Indy is always excited to see her because it means he’s going to get extra of everything (i.e. playtime, walks, a treat or two, snuggles, etc). She is always willing to spend the day and night with him just so that he isn’t alone for more than a few hours. She always makes sure to clean up after herself and even leaves my place nicer than when she arrives. If you need a pet sitter, you should definitely send her a message!”


Jessica E.
“I've known Jessica for 10 years, and if there's anything that lights her up, it's her pets. One of her pets she's diligently cared for since before I knew her, and the other two she took over the care of them because others wouldn't. She values respect of both animals and people, so I believe she'll be great to work with and honor your home and your animals as well.”


Jacquelyn B.
“Jacquelyn was wonderful with my dogs when I went on vacation. She gave me frequent updates and pictures which gave me peace of mind. I appreciate the long walks and keeping them company while I was away. Highly recommend!”

Lauren L.
“Lauren is a lover of all animal types. She has had dogs and cats in the house her entire life. Currently one red doberman and two male cats, along with some aquatic shrimp. The greatest experience she has had recently is her 6 years at a christian based, therapeutic horse ranch. Working with horses and the entire process of caring for them, from mucking stalls, dragging pastures, daily feeds, grooming, medicating and caring for ailments. Assisting vets, dentists and farriers. She can ride and manage them quite well also. She has also done a lot of dog sitting in the past few years, whether it is staying in your home or a coming and going for a few checkins to feed and let them outside for runs/walks. Lauren has a heart of gold and shows it in caring for animals.”

Cierra G.
“Hello! My name is Erin Boettcher. I have lived with Cierra for the past 4 years and have seen her passionate love and care for her animals.Cierra is a mother to her dog, Chip, and her cat, Kidco. Prior to Chips arrival at our home, Cierra took measures to ensure a healthy and nurturing environment to promote a perfect scene for Chip to grow up in. She never shorts Chip of what he needs, even if she’s exhausted herself. Whether this means taking him for runs/walks after a long day, she will get it done. Or if this means carrying up a bag of top tier dog food that is half her body weight up 2 flights of stairs, she will make it happen. Everyday I see her show love to her animals and I find great peace in knowing they have a mother like her. Cierra loves animals deeply, and would show this care to any animal she encounters.”
