“Megan was an excellent car giver to my two kittens! She mad me feel very comfortable leaving them for a few days she gave me very detailed information about the visits along with several pictures! Thank you so much Megan!!”
“We've loved working with Makaila over the past few months and multiple trips. She's been wonderfully professional, friendly, and very comfortable and knowledgeable about cat behavior. I was always very comfortable leaving my cat in her care, and would continue to work with her if she wasn't moving away! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Michelle was great with our pup! He seemed so happy when we got home and she sent the best pictures of her visit! She was so easy to communicate with and we will be definitely using her again for our boy!”
“I am so lucky to have Kat visit my girls while I am working ling shifts at the hospital. She is reliable, flexible and quick to respond. My dogs love her! I highly recommend Kat for any of your fur family members!”
About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From chicken, ducks, and hedgehogs to cats and dogs and I love each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live on 1.6 acres off of a private road. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and sniff for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.
About: I have had dogs all my life. Will provide your pets with the best care imaginable!! Long walks and lots of loving will be given. Avid runner. Have an overactive dog? I will pick him up at your house and take him for a run! Fri-Sunday I am available. I am also available for weekday walks in the late afternoon. Also during the week depending on my work schedule. Trustworthy! My yard is unfenced, so I would leash your dogs at my home. Long walks will be given everyday. Live behind Brighton Rec for walks.
“Sharon did a great job with my dog for midday drop in visits for 4 days. They got along great and Draagan appeared happy when I came home from work. She was on time, thorough, and followed instructions to a T.”
“Kaitlin was wonderful with our cats. One of them loves to hide, but it was evident from the photos that Roberto enjoyed her visits. Kaitlin sent me updates with photos every time she was here. Everything looked as it should when we got home from our 9 day trip. We will definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Naomi was awesome! Our cat Nacho is a little shy and typically doesn’t come out to greet strangers, but he warmed up to Naomi fairly quickly. Really appreciate her patience with him!”
About: At the age of 14, I started dog sitting for my neighbors’ dogs, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how much I enjoyed it. What began as a simple favor quickly turned into a passion. Over the years, I’ve grown more dedicated to caring for animals, and it has become something truly meaningful in my life. I love what I do and take pride in providing care, attention, and love to all animals, no matter their size, breed, or personality. It’s more than just a job for me—it’s a genuine passion and commitment to the well-being of every pet I care for. Schedule: I’m available Sunday through Saturday with a highly flexible schedule. I have a side job downtown Brighton, but it allows me to accommodate pet sitting needs with ease. Whether it’s popping in for a quick visit, taking your pet for a walk, or providing overnight care, I can adjust to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. As a pet sitter it is a bit easier for me to know a few days in advance or any type of trip just weeks in advance! Throughout my experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I’ve spent countless hours in clients’ homes, bonding with their animals in their familiar environment, which helps build trust and comfort. Over time, I’ve not only earned the trust of the pets but also their owners. My number one priority is ensuring that my clients feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. To achieve this, I always offer a meet-and-greet before any pet-sitting arrangement. This allows me to get to know the pets, their routines, and the owners’ expectations, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
About: I have had pets my whole life and began caring for and training at a young age. I have experience house, dog, and cat sitting and truly enjoy spending time with any animals. I am an online grad student and enjoy sitting part-time. I am available most mornings, evenings, and overnights to walk, feed, and hang out with your fur babies. I don’t have my puppy with me so I like to hang out with any pets and treat them like my own any chance I get. I always make sure to follow any special instructions so you can have stress-free time away and come back to happy kiddos.
“Siena helped us out on short notice, and we really appreciated that. My dog seemed happy and content when I arrived home, and Siena was careful to follow the instructions we had given her.”
About: I've cared for groups of up to six dogs plus cats at a time, with a variety of levels of training and in many different environments. Any situation, I'll make it work! I'm mostly taking classes online at the moment, so aside from the occasional part-time shift my time is free for pet-sitting! I am able to wake up early and stay up late to keep things running smoothly. Though at the moment I can't host any pets at my house, I have experience staying nights and traveling early to go and watch pets for friends and family. I like to stay close to any pets I watch and unless I'm taking them for a walk or need to go to work I'll sit with them as I work on online classes.
“I highly recommend Danielle!! She visits my pups while I have long days at work. She is reliable, communicative, and sends updates with adorable pictures. It really puts my mind at ease and my girls are happy!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for four families on and off for 5 years. I’ve also worked at camp bow wow with multiple small and large dogs. I’ve been working for Michigan Medicine as a medical assistant for 9 years. I’m currently working 4 days a week Monday through Thursday, working 10 hour shifts from 7:30 am to 6 pm. I can be available for Thursday evening through Sunday evening. I will walk your pets, play with them and feed them. Clean up after them with in reason. I will leave the pet/pets safe and happy, and the house secure.
