About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life, whether that be my own or friends/family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and unspayed/neutered dogs as I have had these myself throughout my life. In my lifetime I’ve had basset hounds, a Westie, a Boston Terrier, and a couple hamsters. I am happy to look after small caged animals as well for a smaller fee if you message me and let me know! I can also give your dog/s any medications or special treats that they may need/like. I cannot give injectable medicine, however. I currently work part-time and I’m working on my masters degree. I am available for dog walking, boarding, and house sitting! All of my availability is clearly marked on my calendar and updated. I only list days that I can fully commit to the service that I am providing. I would want that for my pets and I believe you would too. I would love to do a meet and greet with you and your dog before the booking. If you are not satisfied with the meet and greet you can cancel my services up until the day before service. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable and safe with my services as possible. I have no pets of my own currently, so your pet will have the whole space for them. I don’t have the time for a dog of my own at this time in my life, so dog sitting/walking brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. I will truly treat your dog with love and care. I am newer to using this site for dog sitting and walking but I have lots of personal experience with my own previous dogs and friends/family. I would truly appreciate you and your dog taking a chance on me as I get started here. I have a small unfenced front yard for a quick potty. However, majority of your dogs potty breaks will be walks as my neighborhood has sidewalks on every immediate street. There is also a park a quick 7 minute walk away and a college campus close by as well with plenty of green spaces. If I am at your home I am happy to take your dogs on walks there as well. I will treat your home and pet as my own with great care.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance it takes to keep up with their needs! Exercise and human interaction is vital to their wellbeing ! So book me! I’m currently not working a full time job and have extra time on my hands ! I have a flexible schedule to fit into your needs. I live in a very nice area with a park across the street and a nice trail. I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need.

About: I prioritize creating a stress-free, loving environment tailored to each pet’s personality, whether that means active play, quiet companionship, or careful handling. If your pet loves running, I do too and would love to join them for a run to keep them happy and energized. Plus, I communicate clearly and regularly with owners, sending updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pet is in great hands. I am a full-time pet sitter who focuses on one pet at a time to provide the highest quality care. By dedicating my full attention to each furry friend, I ensure personalized service, tailored to their unique needs and personality. This approach helps me build trust, reduce stress, and give your pet the love and care they truly deserve—quality over quantity every time. I care for pets in a cozy single-family home with a small backyard, located in a very walkable neighborhood. This setup allows me to provide plenty of fresh air, outdoor play, and regular walks in a safe, calm environment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting their home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable while giving them lots of love and attention.

About: Hi! Ive been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Walking dogs, staying over night, or driving to the groomers, I'm open to anything! I grew up with both dogs and cats. I am originally from Bloomfield Hills, MI. I currently have a one year old mixed golden retriever at my house back home. We rescued him from the humane society last May. When I am home I spend lots of time with him! I am a full time student teacher, my hours are typically 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. I am available outside of that. I am very flexible and can often do short notice jobs. I will follow all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure they and their doggo are comfortable with the care I am providing. On walks, the dog will remain on leash unless instructed by the owner otherwise.

Faith L.Star Sitter
“My dog, Honey, absolutely loves when Faith comes to watch and hang out with her. Honey is a very energetic and excitable dog and Faith always gives her the exercise, attention, and love that Honey needs. Whether it comes in the form of throwing the ball, going for a walk, playing tug-a-war, or training with treats, I never have to worry about if Honey will be exercised, happy, or fulfilled after Faith stays/checks-in on her. Honey and I can’t recommend Faith enough for any of your pet needs.”

Adrien C.
“Adrien is an awesome pet caregiver. He is an outdoors person, so your dog will be out hiking, walking, running, whatever level of exercise your dog needs. Dog parks will become a daily routine. If it's your cat that needs some company, you will be at ease leaving your fur baby in Adrien's care. Under Adrien's watch you can expect top notch care for your pet and peace of mind for you.”
