Pet Sitting Aurelius

“Gina did a wonderful job. We could tell when we first met her she was a cat lover. Her reports to us were very detailed. She sent darling pictures of our kitty. We will definitely use Gina again!!!”

“Kelly was available this time for dropping in on our cat. She was wonderful!! She does a great job and writes a great update after each visit!”

About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends, a week in October for my Fall Break and during breaks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) for dog sitting. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you

“Our booking was awesome! Tracey cared for our animals as if they were her own and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while we were away! Definitely recommend!”

“My pets received excellent care.”

“I never worry about the fur family when Jessica watches the cats! I appreciate that she has experience administering medication, which is critical when you have a cat in remission from cancer, and that she always sends timely Rover cards depicting my cats in their most natural state: neck deep in food.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 for family and friends. I have watched all types of dogs, large, small, young, and old as well as some cats. I am an active person that enjoys exercise but I also love nature so I can go at whatever speed your dog prefers. I am a graduate student at MSU so I keep a busy schedule, but I will always find time for your pets and treat them as my own! Although I am not certified I have trained my own dogs and can adjust to whatever level of obedience you are looking to attain. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary so I have experience with all kinds of animals besides just cats and dogs. I would love to be able to assist you with any of the services I can provide for your furry friends! I am a graduate student so I do have classes during the fall and spring term and MSU employs me part-time as a teaching assistant. I do have availability inside and outside the working hours of the day depending on the day of the week during classes. In the summers, I currently work on research for MSU but have flexible scheduling to fit your pet care needs. I am a detail-oriented person and will care for your pets exactly the way you would in your own home. I also will treat your home as if it was my own and clean up after myself and your pets, and make sure your house is safe and secure while you are gone. I will be happy to take care of your pets and make sure they are well-taken care of until you return!

About: A first few things about me: 1. I've taken care of my neighbors pets ever since I was in middle school 2. I am a graduate student at MSU looking for some money on the side 3. I am very communicative over Rover with my clients I have lots of experience with big dogs and can handle pulling from them (my big Pyrenees/shepherd mix does the same). I've always had dogs in my life, and have played an active role in their care. I have been doing Rover since my time in NY undergrad, and look forward to having more clients now that I am in Michigan. I live in Holt, work in East Lansing, and spend a good chunk of time in Novi, so depending on your location I can flex as needed. One plus-I am a clean freak and will clean my repeat clients' homes while I am around so you can return to a clean space. Last minute bookings often work with me, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message. I always do meet and greets before booking for both sides' safety, and if an initial booking doesn't work out, I would love to meet for future care coverage. I run frequently, so if your dog has a lot of energy, I'm your gal. I will be doing research during the week on campus, but I am willing to be flexible and see what works according to client needs. I can travel to give walks given that I have my car here, and can go home during lunch on weekdays for potty breaks. I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard and can welcome your pet in or go to yours to take care of them. I always positively enforce my dog at home to make him feel safe, as he is a rescue that needs extra care considering he has some trauma.

About: I’m a mom to 3 kiddos and 2 big fur babies. I work from home as an insurance agent and love snuggling and playing with my pups. I have always had an animal in my home and am very patient with animals. Prior to becoming an insurance agent I worked in direct care for 15+ years. I am compassionate and loving and truly care about all living creatures. I work from home, and have the flexibility to clock in and out as needed. I can be available anytime and work within your pups schedule. I have a fence in backyard and two loving babies who will keep your pup company. I can also keep my dogs in a separate area of the home and allow your dog to run freely if they don’t do as well with others. I am clean and considerate and will always love on your baby like I love on mine.

“Both during the initial visit and while she was taking care of them, Ashleigh was great with my dogs! My three husky mixes loved her! She took the time to go outside and engage with each one of them and cater to their individual personalities. She was extremely patient with their high energy needs and even took the time to send me several photos of them playing in the yard. Her exerperince of currently being in Vet school, and of previously working in a kennel and as a Vet Assistant really put me at ease in that if there were some type of an emergency, Ashleigh would be able to promptly and properly be able to handle it. I will defintely request Ashleigh's services again in the future!”

“Juhi was great with my Frenchie! This was our first time having her drop-in and provided great communication about the visit! Thanks again Juhi!”

About: I have been caring and training dogs for over a decade, including experience with large breeds. I am especially experienced with Newfoundlands, Newfoundland-Poodle mixes, Goldendoodles, Dogo Argentinos, and Vizslas. I am comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs and always approach animals with patience, respect, and understanding their individual needs. As a healthcare graduate student, I bring responsibility, attention to detail, and caring communication to every pet I care for. In addition, I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so I'm happy to provide long walks and structured exercise for pets who need to burn off some energy. Come May, I'll have a flexible schedule as I complete the classroom portion of my Doctor of Physical Therapy program. With a lighter schedule and no part-time work commitments, I'll have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain secure handling during walks, and supervise pets closely at all times. I respect each home's rules and routines to ensure consistency for the pet. I am attentive to behavioral cues and changes in health, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary.

“Alexander seemed to do a good job with my cat Carlos, sending me photo's etc. However apparently Carlos wasn't fond of Alex and seemed aggressive according to Alex. I am sorry about that. Alex gave me peace of mind that my cat was Oaky.”

“Diane was fantastic and I'll definitely be rebooking her again in the future. She deeply cared for my animals as if they were her own.”

About: I am an MSU alum graduated from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2021, and a huge animal lover! I have had many dogs and cats growing up so i have always had furry friends as a huge part of my life. I began pet sitting for my parents friends when i was in grade school and continued whenever a friend asked throughout college. Throughout veterinary school I was a Rover sitter and pet sit furry friends locally as well as my classmates animals during breaks and holidays. I always make sure to discuss what is going to be most comfortable and convienient for the animal and their dog or cat mom/dad! I am a small animal resident at MSU and I am looking forward to helping take care of my communities' animals at work and in my free time!! From my career, to my beagle buddies at home, animals are my life. I am so excited for the opportunity to get to know other animal lovers in my area while taking care of their babies!! I am a full time veterinarian but looking to help on evenings, weekends, and holidays with drop-in visits, boarding, pet sitting, and walks for fellow animal lovers in the mid-Michigan area Being a veterinarian, I am very comfortable taking care of all animals and have 2 dogs of my own with health conditions that I lovingly care for each day! I will take care of your animals as if they were my own and offer as much love and commitment as I care for my patients!

“Nichelle has been our go-to sitter for the past few months now. I love getting updates and my dogs love her and her family! It is fantastic to have peace of mind with a reliable sitter whenever we need to leave town.”

About: My schedule is hybrid so I can be in and out during the work day. I grew up around cats and also have a toy fox terrier. I spent a lot of time with labs as well. Spade spent a lot of time with beagles and labs. I used to have a Chihuahua who sadly passed away 4 years ago. The yard is completely fenced in and big enough for them to play. I will also take them for walks. I have experience with injections for dogs that need insulin or medication. I work a hybrid schedule and a lot of it is spent out in the community so I am able to pop in and out a lot during the work week. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a dog that is super friendly and loving. She loves other animals and any kind of company.

About: Since I was a child, I have been an animal nerd. My passion for animals is only matched by my deep devotion to caring for them and maximizing their welfare. I have greater than 20 years of experience taking care of animals. I have experience working in a dog kennel, and a humane society, as well as extensive experience doing in-home visits. While most of my experience is with dogs and cats, I have taken care of a variety of breeds, sizes and ages! I love to make an animal comfortable and slowly gain their trust through consistent action and patience. I have experience administering medications, trimming nails, and basic grooming. I work in the research field full-time during the week, but caring for pets fills my cup outside of work. I'm free weekends and after 5:00PM on weekdays. I love to spend time with animals. I care for pets outside of my home at this time due to limited space and apartment living. I prioritize your pet's safety by making sure they are secured and monitored carefully. I take pride in getting to know the pets I work with so that I can identify if something seems out of the norm for them. Confidentiality & privacy are important to me.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and currently care for two of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I also help care for my sister’s cat when needed. What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a senior dog, including giving oral medication, joint supplements, and applying eye and ear medication as needed. I’m also comfortable teaching basic tricks and engaging dogs mentally through training and play. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, reliable, and patient, and I always treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on most weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already part of my daily life. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine for pets. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away. I have experience with crate training and can easily crate dogs if needed, as well as follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I currently have two friendly dogs, so I’m familiar with managing multiple pets in a calm and controlled environment. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like family.
