About: I've been around pets my entire life; my family has always had cats and dogs in our home. I love caring for animals, as pet care is something I've always been exposed to. Having grown up in a household with animals, I've familiarized myself with general pet-related care to ensure animals are both relaxed and taken care of. I have some rescue experience, and am always looking to create a safe, comfortable environment for any pet I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and am more than capable of curating and sticking to a schedule that is reflective of your needs. I'm also more than open to working early mornings or late nights! I've preformed dog-sitting and cat-sitting duties in the past successfully, and am very comfortable around new pets! I come from a family of animal lovers. I'm extremely grateful to have grown up in such an environment, as my family's love of animals has certainly rubbed off on me! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet's unique needs. I respect routines and surroundings, keeping the pet’s environment familiar to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, keep the home tidy, and make sure the pet feels secure and well-loved throughout the stay. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Marissa is amazing!! During our meet and greet, she was very attentive and asked thoughtful questions that showed me she is well-versed in dog behavior. Her communication is prompt and friendly, and I could tell my dogs adored her!!”
About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.
“Joe was great! I booked him to walk Graé several times while I flew to Detroit for an interview. Unfortunately, Graé suffered a dog attack the day before I was set to leave so that added a little more burden on Joe than anticipated. Joe walked, fed and administered Graé's meds in the evening and the morning. To make sure they got along Joe stopped by my place the night before for a meet and greet with my pup. While gone, Joes sent photos and updates to his time with him; I great help! I will definitely be using joe again if the need arises and he's available.”
“tara is excellent - timely, reliable, and communicative. I had no worries leaving my dog with her for walks, and she's absolutely someone I would rely upon in the future. highly recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adjust care to their unique needs. I have experience with puppies (potty training, high energy) and senior pets (gentle handling, meds, slow walks). Whether your pet is shy, quirky, or full of zoomies, I meet them where they’re at—tail wags guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love being active and spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks fit right in. I structure my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I’m flexible and committed to keeping their routine consistent and stress-free In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and any meds—so they feel safe and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets get a cozy, calm environment with plenty of attention, belly rubs, and play. I make sure they have a comfy place to rest, stay on their usual schedule, and get tons of love.
“Jeanette is the best. She is so thoughtful in how she takes care of our little monster. Details like throwing ice in his bowl and making sure he is safely taken care of on a hot day mean so much to us. 🐶❤️”
“She was great with my puppy”
About: My name is Kate and my love for animals is what prompted me to enter the world of pet care. I grew up in a home with dogs and guniea pigs and learned early on how to be responsible in caring for a pet. The Humane Society was close to my childhood home, I would walk there weekly to go in and visit all the different animals and dreamed of owning a bunch one day myself. Later on in my twenties I learned what it was like to have a cat and now am a self proclaimed, obsessed with all the things cat. Currently I have two cats, a spunky Bengal named Benny and a sophisticated tuxedo baby named Olive. My hobbies include weightlifting, walking, yoga, ceramics, listening to podcasts, reading, baking and traveling. I currently work full time Mon-Thurs, 4 days a week which allows me to have, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning or afternoons available for drop-in visits or walking your pet. I currently am not able to board any other animals in my home as I have two cats that prefer to be the only pets.
About: We took care of our beloved dog for all 12 years of her life. Our house is fully equipped to give your dog a comfortable stay, including a fenced in back yard. And our kids will make sure your dog is entertained and well-loved. I currently only work outside the home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My husband is gone from 9-3, so the longest your dog would be alone is 6 hours on the days that I work. We have a large house, designated pet area within the home, and a fenced in backyard. We have all the basic amenities to make your dog stay easy on you and comfortable for your dog. We have no other pets currently in the home, but we do have three kids ranging from 2-10 who are comfortable around dogs and have learned how to appropriate play with them.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Shalynn R. I am a recent grad from Wayne State who and just moved back to Detroit. I absolutely love dogs and cats of all sizes! I have my own cat (a fluffy maine coon named Augustine) at home. I also grew up with 2 bigs dog myself and have been around different animals my entire life! I have also been walking my best friends family dog regularly for years, and I have pet sit for many family and friends as well. I am not scared of any breed of dog - all are welcome! I really look forward to each interaction I get to have with animals, which makes this the perfect opportunity for me! I am very experienced and a natural animal person, so this is definitely my forte! Thanks so much for the opportunity. I currently work full time on Monday-Friday. I would be able to stop by for drop-ins / walks on those days before / after work! I also have plenty of time for extra drop-ins and/or walks on the weekends. I have experience with lots of types of pets so I understand the special needs your animal may have! I am great at following directions and am comfortable crating your pet and doing any other preventative care you may need.
About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.
About: Need a house sitter, plant sitter, or pet sitter you can count on? Hi, I’m Madrona — a remote marketing professional with a flexible schedule, years of experience, and a serious soft spot for furry companions. Since my family (and their pets) no longer live nearby, I’m looking to spend more quality time with animals — whether that’s a quick walk, a drop-by visit, or a longer stay in your home while you’re away. I’m available for: • Overnight house and pet sitting (I’ll stay in your home and care for pets + plants) • Drop-ins and walks • Short-term or occasional care I’ve worked with pets who are reactive, anxious, on meds, or just need a little extra patience. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for everything from cats with attitude to senior dogs with complex routines. I treat every home and animal like my own — with care, consistency, and respect. Tabor, my sweet family dog, won’t be tagging along unless invited, but he’s why I do this. He taught me how much love and attention animals really need — and deserve. Let’s chat if you’re looking for someone kind, experienced, and reliable. Because I work remotely and make my own schedule, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day visits, or overnight stays, I can be fully present and consistent — no rushing between commitments or leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship animals bring, so spending time with them is never a chore — it’s something I look forward to. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for the entire time you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping things as close to their usual routine as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific instructions you provide — all while giving them plenty of love, attention, and calm energy. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and communicative, so you’ll always know how things are going while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure each visit is intentional — not rushed. I give pets time to settle, play, get their energy out (or just relax), and always check on their water, food, and general well-being. If I’m doing overnight care, I work remotely from your home, so your pets get lots of company and consistency throughout the day — not just in the mornings and evenings. No matter the service, your pet’s comfort and safety come first.
