“Alexandra took care of my cat as her own. She sent me lots of pictures and replied to my texts promptly at any time of the day. She addressed my concerns immediately. She kept my house clean and tidy as well. Grateful to have found someone I can trust now!”


About: Lifetime pet owner, foster, and rescue volunteer. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, rabbits, turtles, birds...I've had them all! I have cared for animals from delivery through 20+ years old. I can assist with training, medication management, bathing, walks/play time, housesitting, clean up, and pretty much anything else you need! I am a young retiree who can dedicate myself full time to the care of your pet! Scheduled visits, daytime or overnight stays, vet or grooming appointment transportation, and housesitting availability. Walks and playtime at/near your home or nearby parks of your choosing. I can transport your pet securely buckled up in a harness or a crate to appointments or activity areas.

“There is not enough space allowed on here, to put into words what meeting Abby meant to our family. This went from, we just moved and need to find a home and fur babysitter to seeing a post from Abby and then checking out Rover. We messaged her, she changed her schedule to come and meet our family in less than 24 hours. Before she left, we already had her booked for her first stay with us. She shared photos with us, she communicated with everything. (Disclaimer JOKE - I really don't want to say how amazing she was, because then everyone is going to want to book her services) But I have to tell the truth!!! Wither it's a wellness check, a quick stop visits, a drive by feeding, a walking, a belly rub, an overnight, or even longer stays. Abby is by far the right choice for our family, so I know she's the right choice for your family too. We knew within 30 minutes of her arrival that she was the one! How? She shared photos with us of 2 of our feral cats sleeping on her. That was all we needed to see, to know she won over their hearts, they trusted her, which means so do we! Thanks again Abby we can't wait to plan our next trip away. Howes Family - Mogli - Flower - Duke - Tito”



“Mary Kay is so great with the babies - even those who are difficult! She even left us gorgeous flowers. We love her! But I don’t want to say too many good things cuz then we have to fight other people off to get her! (Just kidding!)”


“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”


“Elizabeth watched our dogs for an entire weekend while we were away in our house. She was very respectful to our house and treated our dogs with kindness and respect. Will definitely rebook.”


“Breanna is the best! My dog can be a handful, but I'm confident leaving her in Breanna's skilled care. Trustworthy, reliable, and a great communicator - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”


“Miranda was amazing with our 6 month old puppy Obie! He is pretty nervous around new people and she was so patient when meeting him. She sent us pictures throughout the night and Obie definitely has a new best friend now. Highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a short or long term pet sitter.”


“Cheryl was very accommodating and was able to help us out in a last-minute jam she took care of the dogs like her own and was very nice and sent pictures and updates frequently we'll definitely use her again”


“Yadicon did a great job watching my cat, Ramona, for the weekend! She stepped in last minute after my original cat sitter had a family emergency. Ramona was clearly well-taken care of under Yadicon’s care, and the apartment was spotless when I got home. Thank you!”


“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”


About: I have a deep passion for caring for animals, treating each furry friend with the love and attention they deserve. From cozy cuddles to invigorating runs, I tailor each experience to cater to your dog's needs and preferences. Whether it's lounging on the furniture or enjoying playtime with their favorite toys, I ensure your pet feels cherished and valued. I have a particular fondness for exploring the dog-friendly delights of Royal Oak, including parks and pet stores, and even pup cups of froyo. Always prioritizing safety and cleanliness. Bath time is a joyous occasion, and who can resist the simple pleasure of ear scratches and belly rubs? Let me become a cherished addition to your dog's life, providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's a passion that seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve throughout each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I structure my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets under my care, making them feel loved and cherished at all times. In both my home and my client's home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets to thrive. Whether it's dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family, receiving personalized attention, regular exercise in a fenced yard, taking a drive just to find new places to walk around the city, and plenty of affection. In my client's home, I respect their routines and preferences, ensuring that their pets feel secure and well-cared for in familiar surroundings. From feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship, I go above and beyond to ensure the happiness and welfare of every pet entrusted to my care.

“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”

“Heather has continuously helped care for all 5 of my pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats, whenever we ask! Their needs are always met and they are often spoiled when she is around. The dogs are always excited to get some time with her, and the cats show affection more than usual to someone other than their family.”
