“Laura is awesome. I received pictures daily of m dog while we were gone on vacation. She walked him daily which I know he loved. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Laura!!!”
“My pups spent this past weekend with Annette and sweet Ethal. This was their 4th or 5th visit. They love it there as evidenced by them not following me to the door when I went to leave. Thanks Annette I really appreciate you.”
“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lia and Jonathan when Orla stayed overnight at their home. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They did an amazing job keeping us updated on how Orla was adjusting, sending photos and videos that really reassured us she was happy and settling in well. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they host and treat them like part of the family. One thing that especially touched us was how gentle and sweet Orla was with their 18-month-old son. It was so heartwarming to see their son completely fall in love with her, and it showed how calm and well-handled the environment in their home is. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave Orla and would absolutely trust them with her again. Highly recommend Lia and Jonathan to anyone looking for a loving, attentive place for their dog to stay.”
“Krysia was AMAZING! She truly loves pups and it shows. From walks in High Park to how she welcomes them into her home. I highly recommend her! Will definitely be asking her to watch our Murph again.”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“This was Mayas first time staying at someone’s house besides our family. They were super responsive and sent pictures of Maya while we were away. Bailey seemed like she had a great system for getting Maya comfortable when she first arrived. Also, they have an awesome fence that gave us such peace of mind. Maya was in great hands! We would totally book with them again in the future.”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristina! She was caring, responsible, and truly wonderful with our Teddy! It was such a relief knowing our pet was in such a good hands while we were away! Sincerely, Danute ( Donna ) Jury”
“Alexis is the very best! I hesitate to leave this review because I don't want her to get so busy she doesn't have time for my boy Chase! Chase loves going there and being with her other furry friends! What a blessing to have found Alexis!”
“Alicia was really wonderful with hosting my dog for 5 nights. I really appreciate the easy and responsive communication and getting updates and photos throughout the time. They even were able to accommodate a lady minute schedule change, which I'm so thankful for. I'm looking forward to booking again when we travel and definitely recommend to anyone, your pet will be in good care and company.”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“Erin was very nice, professional and easy to get a hold of. My boy Opie can be quite a handful and Erin did a great job with him. I could tell he got plenty of exercise and play time as he slept for two days straight when he got home! Thanks again, Erin! We’ll be back!”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“Brady had a great time with Aaron and family, who were able to accommodate us on short notice. Would definitely have them sit for Brady next time we go out of town. Good communication from Aaron with a lot of pictures.”

Annette and Ethel always take great care of Mamba. He has stayed with them twice now and enjoyed his time with them. Leaving my dog with Annette is an easy choice because I know my Mamba will be loved and cared for like family. Thank you Annette and Ethel for taking care of and loving my Mamba like your own. We will be back.
Yvonne and Bert were great with our 13 year old dog. They made sure she got her meds daily. They stayed in contact with us with pictures and text messages. They have a doggy door that I really didn’t have high hopes for our dog to use, but she did with some coaxing. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Bert. They are definitely dog people and pretty laid back.
