About: Hi! I’m Katherine — a professional pet sitter with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. Pet care is my full-time work, and your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, communicative, and calm, even with shy, senior, or medically complex pets. ⸻ 🐱 Cat Care I have decades of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and special-needs cats. I understand that many cats thrive on consistency and quiet routines, and I tailor each visit to their individual comfort level. I’m comfortable with: • Oral medications and pill administration • Eye drops and topical medications • Litter box care and monitoring output • Senior cat support and gentle handling • Multi-cat households • Shy or anxious cats who need patience and time I take care to follow your cat’s routine closely — including feeding preferences, hiding spots, play style, and comfort needs — so they can stay relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Dog Care I also provide attentive dog care with an emphasis on calm, structured visits. Experience includes: • Drop-in visits and potty breaks • Leash walking and basic training reinforcement • Puppies and senior dogs • Multiple-dog households ⸻ 🏥 Special Skills & Safety • Experience with senior pets and medical needs • Comfortable transporting pets to the vet in case of emergency • Familiar with pet CPR concepts and emergency response • Careful attention to dietary restrictions, allergies, and instructions • Detailed visit updates so you always know how your pet is doing ⸻ 🕒 Availability & Reliability • Flexible schedule with availability for daily drop-ins • Punctual, dependable, and consistent • Comfortable with short-notice requests when possible • Meet-and-greets always welcome I treat every home and pet with respect, and my goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. ⸻ A Note About Boarding While I have a fenced yard and a friendly resident dog, I am not currently offering boarding. This may be an option in the future. I’m currently focused full-time on Rover, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling. I take recurring visits, vacation care, and most drop-in requests. Feel free to reach out so we can find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. In your home, I’m careful about: • Preventing door escapes by entering and exiting slowly and deliberately • Securing doors, gates, crates, and harnesses before and after walks • Following all household routines exactly as outlined • Keeping doors and spaces as I found them For cats specifically: • Extra care around entryways to prevent bolting • Checking closets, cabinets, and enclosed spaces before closing doors • Monitoring litter box habits and alerting owners if anything seems off • Keeping play areas free of potentially unsafe items For dogs: • Double-checking leashes, harnesses, and equipment (especially for escape artists) • Respecting boundaries such as baby gates or restricted areas • Ensuring a calm, controlled environment during visits and walks I keep detailed notes and send regular photo updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I also take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. Your pet’s safety — and your peace of mind — always come first.

“Jomari is amazing!!! My pup and kitty both loved her and had a wonderful time!! She was extra careful with my pup who not only has a bad back but had also just had emergency surgery two days prior. She even protected him when another dog nearby got off its leash. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine I'm available throughout the week for walks drop-ins play time and lots of one-on-one attention I enjoy being active and love having a furry companion to play time with. I take the time to learn each Pet's routine personality boundaries and comfort level so they can feel secure while you're away in a client's home I follow their instructions closely respect their space keep doors and Gates secure and make sure pets get the attention exercise and companionship there used to I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages

About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside

“Charles was amazing! We house sat for us for eight days and we have a quite a crew with two dogs, two cats and seven chickens. He was very communicative from before we booked through the trip, sending pics every day and reaching out whenever he had a question. He also watered our flowers. It was such a great experience to have a sitter our pets loved and who took such good care of our house. We will definitely have Charles hang with out pets again!”

“Lisa was terrific! She was very communicative and shared a lot of pictures with me. She left my house in great shape. And most importantly, she was great company for my dog. My dog has some quirks but Lisa handled all of them with grace and care. I'm very glad she was in such capable hands while I was away!”

“Lauren is awesome! Very responsive, timely, and communicative and you can tell she truly cares about The pets she takes care of. Pepper was in great hands while I was gone. they even went for a run and long walk which my dog loves! My home was also extremely clean and tidy when I got back - I could hardly tell Lauren had stayed there! Thank you so much.”

Katrina M.

“Sarah was great. We are newer to using the service so she made it very easy. Great follow through and appreciated her flexibility. It was great to get daily updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend her and we will be also in the future. Thank you Sarah!”

“Lyle was great watching my dog Copper. Copper is a rescue who was neglected and abandoned, so new situations are usually an anxious time for him. Lyle was great at keeping his anxiety in check and taking care of him. It was hard to leave Copper for the first time since rescuing him, but Lyle was a great comfort. Thanks again.”

Michael M.

“When I hired Katie it was to watch my two cats, Ying and Yang. Katie met with me twice then my Yang passed away. Katie understood how significant this was to me and my other fur baby. She came over again to see Ying before I left. Katie got my anxiety about now leaving Ying without his brother for the first time. She went above and beyond to comfort both of us. I definitely recommend her.”

About: I have always loved animals since I was a young age. I have had two dogs and have one currently who is three years old! I have taken care of many animals before, and I love spoiling them. I will send pictures and keep in constant contact with owner. Some requirements I have when boarding with me is the dog must be house trained, and get along with other dogs and kids. I will be attending Eastern Michigan this fall, but only communing on Mondays and Wednesdays! Other then that I am pretty flexabele and open and can work around those days I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a lead rope for the dogs to go out out or need be I can take them out on a leach. In my clients home I would take care of the dogs just as they would.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. From small lap dogs to large breeds, I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and family have often trusted me with their pets because I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already built into the way I live. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention are second nature to me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve while their owner is away My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t changed, even while you’re away. I follow the instructions you provide, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and be themselves. At my home, I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! We had great communication before, during, and after our trip. She sent a lot of pictures while we were away, and we could tell Benny was having a great time. We would definitely book her again!”
