“Megan was wonderful! We had never used Rover and she was such a great communicator, always sending pictures and messages when she dropped in to take care of our dogs. We have a very nervous and skittish dog who would not do well at a kennel, and she took her time to make sure she got outside & was well taken care of. She even stopped by to meet the dogs before hand. I really appreciate all you did for our pups while we were gone! I highly recommend her!”
“Katie came over and let our dog out and she was wonderful! Her love and care for pets is very clear and she goes above and beyond for the pets she watches. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Kathy was amazing! She made sure my cat/dog were well taken care of while I was away and left nice detailed updates - would highly recommend!”

About: I have owned and cared for many different breeds of dogs over my lifetime. I have 6 years of experience with a leash-reactive dog who pulls on leash, and carried on with training that was given by a professional trainer for leash-reactivity and pulling on a leash. I have also cared for dogs for family and friends, providing loving attention, food, water, medications, exercise or walks, and waste clean-up. I am mature, dependable, faithful & dedicated. I am not on social media and do not play internet games. I will only use my phone for occasional pics of your pet to share with you, or for emergencies while caring for your dog(s)! I am retired, so I am pretty flexible to care for your dog(s). I can also be available on very short notice and for emergencies. I am not able to care for your dog(s) in my home. I am organized and follow instructions carefully. I will care for your dog at your home as you desire, to the best of my ability. I like to snap occasional photos of the dogs I care for, to share with you, so you can see what your pup is up to!
“Josie was great with our two goldens. She was patient and communicated really well during and after the drop in. We have her scheduled for reoccurring drop ins now and it feels great to be able to trust our dogs with her :)”
“I recently worked with Alexandria to care for my cat, Juniper, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring Juniper was well cared for while I was away. I returned to a happy cat and a house just as I left it. The communication was excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexandria and look forward to working together again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and taken care of them forever. I’m around dogs 24/7! I love all dogs and I promise your dog will be spoiled!! I’m home a lot and already take care of my dog, she comes first so that means your dog will too, and if I am not home 24/7 I will always make time :) I have a very friendly golden retriever who loves to play and get treats all the time, along with an unreal amount of toys you couldn’t imagine!! Plenty of time for walks and playing:)
“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!”
“Melissa and Nicholas were great to work with and did an excellent job watching our cat for 5-days. Very friendly, respectful and responsible service! We’ll definitely use them again in the future.”
“Sarah was awesome. I contacted her less than a week before we were leaving on vacation, she responded immediately, stopped over to meet my fur babies and they loved her. She was flexible, took great pics and my babies seemed pretty happy when we got home. I would definitely recommend Sarah”
“5 Stars as always!!! Linda is fantastic and dependable. My dog loves when she visits!! Thank you again Linda for another great experience!!”
About: I’ve watched family and friends animals for several of years and truly enjoy it. I’m trustworthy and promise to watch after your pet as if it was my own. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, I can watch your pet during the day on those days. I have the weekends off and enjoy being active. I would love to dog sit or take your pet for walks those days. I can also walk your pet after 5pm Monday-Friday. I have a fenced in yard and no pets of my own. Hence why I want to watch your pets! I can crate your dog if needed.
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 everyday experience with two dogs and a few cats over my life. I've also dog sat for many of my friends! I'm good at handling animals when they're anxious or don't like other people, as I'm friendly and patient with them as to not overwhelm them! I also have owned 5 guinea pigs in my life, so I'm good at handling small critters as well! I'm good at understanding boundaries and remembering details on how to take specialized care of your animals! In fact, the more details the better. currently don't have a fully stable job as I'd like to do this as my job like I used to, I just absolutely love and thrive with animals! No other job or school also means I have plenty of time for your dog or cat! I'm free most days, at just about any time! I'll do whatever I am told to do and follow whatever behavior I am shown by the animal so I can better understand and take care of your dog or cat. Any special needs will be carefully attended to, and any rules you set for your home and your pets care will be happily respected
