“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.”

About: I have been an animal lover since childhood. I grew up with two dogs and seven cats. I first started pet sitting while in college at the University of Michigan. I'm unable to have my own pets, so I love having the opportunity to spend time with animals as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have experience with diverse types of dogs and cats. I have cared for young and elderly dogs and cats and have experience administering medication. I recently finished my PhD at the University of Wisconsin and am currently working remotely part time, so I have a flexible schedule. I am happy to do check ins throughout the day and can provide dog walking services any time before 8pm. I can do check-ins on dogs of any size, but am only willing to walk dogs weighing up to 80 pounds. I will walk a maximum of two dogs at a time. I can only offer petsitting in the client's home. I am respectful of other people's space and will keep your place neat and tidy. I have lots of experience with pet sitting in other people's homes and am happy to provide letters of recommendation.
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
“Ariana asked great, thorough questions to make sure she knew Buddy before walking him. She's calm, kind and an obvious dog lover! I feel relieved (he's had past behavioral issues) and appreciative of her thoughtful care of Bud. Thank you!”

About: I have been a dog-lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs who are my whole world. I work in the pet industry for a grooming company, so in order to make my clients feel at ease I know all the ins and outs of pet care. I have tons of resources through my work for anything that stumps me as well. I work full time from home, and love to go on walks around the neighborhood throughout my day! Being outside is a major part of my daily routine, anything that gets me more time in the park is encouraged :) I always start the interaction slowly and with care, allowing your dog to come to me and respecting any space they need to feel things out
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and adopted a puppy from the humane society last year. I work from home and love the idea of having a play-mate for my dog to walk and care for during the day. Good with puppies, special diets, and active dogs. Happy home! I work from home and have a dog of my own, plenty of time to walk dogs, let them play in the back yard, and care for them during the day. My house is dog proofed and full of love. My fenced in yard makes it a great place for dogs to run and play. I also live in a great area for walking
“Moriah was so patient with Moose! From the sounds of it, both of my boys love her already. Moose definitely has some interesting quirks that can be a little unsettling until you get to know him. Moriah was so kind when she told me what happened and I am super grateful for her understanding and communication.”
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.
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up taking care of family and friends doggos. I currently have a free-roam rabbit so am also comfortable with small animals! Can’t wait meet your furry friend! I’m currently working as a social worker during the week but would love to help out for an evening stroll or throughout the weekend! I am very flexible so just let me know me know what you need. Your pet’s comfort is my main priority. I’ve worked with many anxious animals, so knowing how to build trust is important. My goal is to make them feel safe and look forward to seeing their pet sitter!
About: I grew up with dogs and cared for mine for 13 years, so I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and long-term routines. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and getting to know their personalities. I’m calm, observant, and good at picking up on what each pet needs to feel comfortable. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just company, I’m happy to help keep things consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I work remotely during the day, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I’m usually available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust around your pet’s routine. I’m quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. I always aim to keep things simple, clean, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels at ease—whether I’m visiting for a quick walk or staying overnight. I treat pets and homes with respect, and I’m mindful about keeping things consistent with how you do them to provide the best care for your pets.
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 also a part time employee at my local vet clinic and an undergraduate student on the pre-vet track so I am very comfortable with many types of animals! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Michigan! I have a busy class schedule but most weekdays I have a break in between classes where I can check in on your fur babies! I’m also a member of the marching band which requires my attendance all day during home football games. Go Blue! 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.
“Abigail has been wonderful with our puppy! Since Abigail has been taking him for walks to cut the day in half he seems much happier at night and has been steadily improving with walking on the leash!”
