“Amazing! One of my pups was nervous and barking when first meeting her. She was able to calm him down and properly drop in on my two babies. Would recommend over and over again!”

“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!”
“Randi did a great job watching our three cats - even our shy one came out to play with her! The kitties are all very happy after we've been gone, a testament to Randi's care. Would highly recommend working with her.”
“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”

About: Hello, My name is Camila and I'm here to take care of any of your furry friends. I absolutely love animals; I'm a dog person but also love cats. I grew up with a dog and ever since have loved animals. I also lived with a cat for two years. I assure you your pet couldn't be in better hands. I am kind and loving towards all animals. I've animal sat for several people in the past and would love to do the same for you! I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fishes, and various other animals. I am open to sitting, boarding, walking, and much more. As I said before, I love all animals and can't wait to talk to you regarding your pet.
“Naomi helped us out immensely by taking care of our senior kitty while we were out of town. She distributed meds with no problems and took care of our girl with love and care. I would recommend Naomi to anyone who needs reliable and earnest pet care and will book her again in the future. Thank you Naomi!”
“Katie was very accommodating, responsive, and helped to relieve my anxieties about leaving my cat for the first time in a very long time. I highly recommend Katie!”
About: I've helped care for family pets in the past, am an attentive cat mama of my own 2 year old cat, and have also previously provided animal care as a personal assistant in Metro Detroit. I've had practice and done a lot of researching to make sure I am a knowledgeable and resourceful caretaker. I work hybrid! When working from home, I can keep my eye on them. And I prepare very well when I know I'm going to be away for a few hours. I understand wanting to make sure animals are tended to, so even if I do have to step out, I time it and try to make sure I'm not gone too long. We will be indoors! If you want your cat to get fresh air outside (aside from being at an open screened window), I have a backpack with a window bubble on it specifically made for small animals, it also opens out into a small structure that'll let them play and stretch their legs a lot more while still not able to roam without supervision! I also have a little tote bag for an animal where they can poke their cute head out. I keep an eye on what they're interacting with to make sure it's nothing that'll harm them as well.
“I am so thankful for Jj when she cares for my cat. She plays with her and goes above and beyond. My cat ADORES her and she is not like that with many people at all. I don't worry when I am away and I have gotten some really great pictures of my cat as well 😀 We highly recommend Jj!!”
About: Hiya! I’m John, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From my loyal Black Lab Doc, playful Mini Aussie Sakura, and regal Siberian cat Louis, to my tiny but demanding pea puffers, I’ve built a life surrounded by animals, learning how to meet their needs with patience, compassion, and respect. I’ve helped care for animals with a range of personalities and needs, from high-energy pups to sensitive or reactive pets who need a little extra space and understanding. I’m confident with medication management, basic training, and making even the shyest pets feel safe and seen. I bring the same sense of care and responsibility to pet sitting that I carried in my service as a U.S. Navy Veteran, and now as a Pre-Med Biology student. When I’m not studying or volunteering with the Belle Isle Conservancy, I’m often biking around Detroit or spending time with animals. They’re a grounding and joyful part of my life. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority. Whether they need a cuddle buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m here to treat them like family. My schedule is generally open and flexible, and I do my best to accommodate the unique needs of each pet and their family. While I occasionally travel, I only accept bookings when I know I can fully commit to your pet’s care. When I’m with your animals, they have my full attention, I stick to their routines, respect their comfort levels, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. When I enter someone’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always aim to leave things just as I found them, if not a little tidier. I also take time to scan the environment for anything that could pose a risk or distraction to your pet, making sure the space stays safe, calm, and just the way you left it. Your home and your pet’s routine are in good hands.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, having anything from large dogs to small cats. I’ve also house sat and watched animals for many a friend, family member, and coworker. I currently work as a freelance theatre designer/technician, so my hours can be super flexible. quick walks and check ins during the day are ideal for me, but I am down for whatever! I am very happy to make the clients animals comfortable in their own home. I also have a car so taking a dog to a park is also easy for me to do!
About: Experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and engaging pets in enrichment activities. Dedicated to ensuring animals are happy, healthy, mentally stimulated, and well-cared for in every environment. As a dedicated nurse, I work 3-4 days a week. In this role I bring compassion and care to children just like I do animals. My remaining days can be spent ensuring your pets are well taken care of! As a dog mom to a small breed dog, I understand the importance of daily enrichment, walks, and supplements. Throughout my childhood I have lived with medium breeds, rodents and cats; giving me a well-rounded experience with different pets. I love providing cuddles, playtime, and attentive care that helps animals feel safe, happy and loved.
