“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Laura has been a caring, professional, and consistent walker for my pup. She does a great job taking care him and taking him on long walks. She always communicates in advance if there is a schedule change. I would highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Katie! She asked great questions to get to know my dog before the first walk. My dog is a rescue and can be anxious, and Katie patiently worked to gain her trust. Thanks for walking Munchkin!”
About: Hi, my name is Ryan and I am a PhD student at UMich. I’m looking to support my studies by doing what I know best beyond art history, taking care of pets! I have had pets all my life (dogs, cats, and rabbits) and know no other life than one with furry friends in it. Being the primary caretaker of my own dog, I know the ins and outs of pet care. My furry family members have taught me about compassion, loyalty, and fun and I hope to be able to serve you and your pets with those same traits. My work schedule is very flexible and I am available most days of the weeks at various times. Reach out today, I’d love to work with you and your best friends! My work schedule is very flexible and fits around my own dogs’ routine. I will do the same for your pet to ensure they have as much consistency as possible. I have a big unfenced backyard with a long hook for my own dog to go outside and get plenty of fresh air. I also have a small deck with some astroturf that my own dog loves to sun bathe on. My house has very few stairs and is suitable for smaller and older pets who have mobility issues. I keep all cleaning supplies and potentially hazardous foods stowed away.
About: Growing up I’ve had pets for most of my life that I’ve helped take care of. I’ve had one cat and one dog. My dog was an African basenji, which are notorious for being very fast and energetic, so I have experience with hyperactive dogs. In college one of my roommates had a cat that I helped take care of. Similarly, I’ve helped pet sit for many of my friends due to my passion for pets! My responsibilities have mostly entailed walking, feeding, playing with, and cleaning up after. I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to spend with your pets! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am unavailable from around 12 to 5pm, but my availability is open outside of those times! I have open availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays! I make sure to watch pets thoroughly to ensure their safety, whether that’s on a walk or in the client's home. I also always make sure that pets are fed and clean. Similarly, making sure the pet is well loved by petting and playing with them is also just as important!
“Katie and Kristin were very responsive and took great care of our two dogs. They went above and beyond and seem to really love animals - our dogs certainly like them! We would highly recommend and would reach out to them again, only have positive things to say!”
About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs for 9 years and always play with them and catch their feelings closely to meet their needs! Really good at potty cleaning and senior care I currently working as part time, so i have a plenty of time for pet sitting and give a lot of attention to the pets as they needed! When visiting client’s home, always look around what to use and expect and listen the client’s advise for the pets. When visiting my home, normally clean and able to use space to run around for the pets

“Garnet saved us! We had to attend an unexpected funeral and could not find a sitter. After chatting with Garnet, we worked out a system for him to stop by more frequently to walk and play with our very energetic puppy. Not only did he send the sweetest updates of their time together, he took the best pics. We were able to spend much needed time with family knowing Penny was well cared for. Hire Garnet. He’s amazing!”
“Bert was thrilled to see her!”
“First time booking Meghan for Lola. seems like a perfect match. reliable and punctual .”

“Awesome dog walker!!!”
“Thanks, CT! CT has been caring for my three dogs for a few months, and our family is pleased. CT is conscientious and timely, genuinely enjoys animals, is always gentle. One of my dogs is super energetic, while another is aged and persnickety. CT seems comfortable with all types of dogs; that all three rush him as soon as he's here is a testimony to their excitement and happiness with him. Recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 starting with dog walking. I was able to establish a trusting relationship with my first clients and it led to staying overnight and caring for their dogs for days at a time. I’m currently working part time as a veterinary assistant so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a lot of free weeks so that I can dog sit for multiple days if necessary. I will do my best to make sure your dog is properly tended to whether that’s letting them out whenever they need, engaging them with play or physical activities, making sure that I stick to their personal feeding schedules, and making sure they don’t get into any trouble.
About: I helped raise Kooikerhondje puppies when I was 12 and 13 during my summer vacations. While I have more experience with cats than dogs, I can confidently say that I absolutely adore dogs and understand the basics of their care! I live in downtown Ann Arbor and can hop on my bike and rush to take care of your furry friend or house in cases last minute vacation plans or emergencies! I have an endless amount of energy for playing that makes for being a good human companion to an animal, and with a mischievous cat at home, I understand how important enrichment is in an animal's life. Even if an animal is not interested in engaging with me, it's important to remain in the house for an extended period so that the animal knows that someone is there. And of course, I'm always ready to give cuddles to the sleepy dog or cat! I work to keep homes, especially animal spaces, clean and tidy because animals deserve clean spaces just as humans do.

Angela G.
“I had the pleasure of living with Angela during undergrad, during which time she proved to be an incredibly caring and responsible pet companion. I have a cat who is very important to me, and since I’ve lived with her, Angela treated her as if she were her own. She played with my cat daily, making sure she was engaged, loved, and well-cared for. More importantly, when I had to be away, for either school or work, I always felt at ease knowing my cat was in the best hands. Angela helped with pet care responsibilities such as feeding her on schedule, keeping her litter box clean, and even sending me little updates to reassure me everything was okay. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and attentive to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Angela enough. She's not just good with animals—she truly loves them, and they can sense it.”
