“Chelsea is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She is reliable and keeps me updated on how my pup is doing. She also send lots of pictures and my pup doesn’t want to leave her!”
About: I lived with a husky and a daschound for a couple of years recently with family and it was a lot of fun and great experience. I had small dogs growing up and I love large dogs too. I am very capable, reliable, and compassionate with both dogs and cats! I have extra time this summer, with more open availability than usual. I would love to help routinely (weekly or otherwise) with anyone that leaves their pets home alone a little bit more than they would prefer ideally! I have a larger space with an extra room, so I can temporarily take in at least two animals at my place if need be.
About: Hello! I’m Natalie, and I love helping animals of all kinds get fresh air, exercise, and positive social time. With experience walking everything from high-energy puppies to mellow senior dogs, I adjust to each dog’s needs. I mainly work with small to medium breeds as well as cats and keep walks/visits calm, attentive, and fun. I’m always happy to reinforce good behavior with treats (with your permission!) and send updates so you know your babies are safe and happy. I'm currently working part time as a coffee barista so I'll have time to tend to your pets! I'll typically be available mid day most days with flexibility. When walking or visiting your fur babies, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. During walks, I make sure leashes are secure, follow your dog’s pace and preferences, and always clean up after them. After the walk, I ensure they have fresh water and send a check-in with how everything went. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention based on their comfort level. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each friend's unique personality—whether they love playtime, cuddles, or prefer their space. I also keep a close eye on behavior and send updates so you know they're safe and content. I respect your home and your pet like they’re my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and they meant alot to me, I cared about them very much. I will treat your pet the same way I did mine. I'm a school bus driver and I'm off for the summer, so I can be available most days that you need me to take care of your pet. You can trust me to take good care of your pet. You can trust me to respect you, your pet and your home. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and safe.
About: We lost our Italian Mastiff, Meadow, of 10 years and miss the daily love she gave. We are not ready to own another pet, so I'm looking to love yours for the time being. We have 2 inside/ outside cats who hide well when new people/ critters are in their space. I live on 3 acres and have lots of time to spend with your furry babies. Love to be outside, take long walks, play fetch, snuggle, and hike often. I am very flexible and have lots of free time, due to my work schedule. I can devote lots of time and patience for young energetic puppies all the way to elderly and in need of extra care and assistance. Hope I get to meet your furry one/ ones soon! My husband and I work opposite shifts so 90% of the week, one or both of us are at home. Love to take long walks. Home most of the time. Love to walk. Love to work on training and maintaining what hard work has already been done. Very flexible adapting to dogs routine.
About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and at just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I do have a fenced in yard, with no dogs in the neighboring yards. With having the community center close, walks are a lot of fun and they love all the new smells!

I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, as well as family and friends pets throughout the years. I was also a professional dog walker and pet sitter in NYC for 10 years before moving back home to Michigan 5 years ago. I have done fostering and rescue work over the years as well, so it’s safe to say I love animals. I currently have a rescue dog and cat of my own that are my babies. I have experience with all dog breeds and puppies to seniors, as well as cats. I have even cared for birds, fish, and rodents over the years. I have a soft spot for the seniors and have a lot of experience caring for them. I love and respect all animals and will treat yours as if they are my own. I am self employed so my schedule is totally flexible and I am able to devote all of my time caring for your beloved pet. At my home I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play in. I also live near a Metro Park I can take your dogs for walks in if that’s something you would like. For stays In your home I will follow instructions on care for your dog whether you just want playtime in the yard or you would like us to go out on walks. I will follow the routine they have for feeding and potty breaks. For both I will provide updates throughout on how they are doing and will be available to be contacted if you would like to check in at anytime. My goal is to make you and your pet as happy and at ease as possible 🙂
“Absolutely amazing! I can always rely on Dawn for the very best care of my dog while I’m at work. I feel extremely comfortable and confident in her care. Reina adores Dawn! I could not have asked for a better, more caring woman to care for my dog.”
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
