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.

“Pavlina was wonderful with our 75 pound retriever and house sitting as well, thru a week long stay and thru a winter storm. We were relieved to see great pictures of Tock resting his head on Pavlina, a testament to her being a “dog person”.”

“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 had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!

“Sabrina did so amazing staying with my dog Bailey! I got so many photos of him having a great time. I would absolutely recommend her!”

“Carolyn took great care of our dog Bailey while staying in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful about keeping us in the loop—sending updates and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Bailey is an older pup who needs medication and a little extra TLC, and Carolyn handled his routine with ease and genuine care. It meant a lot to us to know he was comfortable and well looked after while we were out of the country. We truly appreciated Carolyn’s reliability and attentiveness, and we would gladly have her stay with Bailey again. Highly recommend!”

Erica L.

“Erin was so great with our senior Aussie. She gave him all the attention he craves and was willing to accommodate his early wakeups. Appreciated the updates and photos she sent. She made our time away worry free.”

About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….

About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, attentive to senior pets who may need extra care and monitoring, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! * Tuesday–Thursday: In-office in Novi from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM * Friday–Monday: Working remotely from home with a flexible schedule On my remote days, I’m able to provide more frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Even on my in-office days, I’m available before and after work and can accommodate morning, evening, and overnight care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I've had a dog for as long as I could remember and I have one now. I 💯 love and respect all living things. I know the fear of leaving my fur baby in someone else's care and being scared, that feeling comes from the fact that these fur babies aren't just are pets they are family also. That's why I'm hear to help alleviate some of that fear and or stress by saying your fur baby will be taken EXCELLENT CARE OF. I will walk them, feed them, and take care of whatever else they need. I have experience with puppies and getting them crate trained or outside bathroom trained. I also have experience with senior dogs and giving them their medicine including insulin injections. I'm currently working part-time and I have a puppy. This works out great for me...I understand the needs of a fur baby. PAMPERING with V.I.P. treatment. Your fur baby will be in great company with my two year old male maltese that has been neutered while in my home. If at your home whatever your rules are I follow 💯.

“Melissa took amazing care of our dogs for the long weekend. She sent pictures and when we returned the dogs were happy and the house was tidy so we couldn’t have been happier!”
