House Sitting Dearborn

“Sarah is just the sweetest thing! So attentive our fur babies loved her! Very communicative and sent pictures often which we love. Can’t wait to have her dog/cat sit again.❤️ we would highly recommend her!”

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She sent great updates and the most adorable pictures throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Eleanor T.

“Sylvie did a phenomenal job caring for our anxious, shy/fearful pup last minute! She was able to accommodate 2 meet and greets which made our pup comfortable ahead of her stay. Sylvie asked thoughtful questions about his behavior and care requirements and listened to all of our nervous parent requests. She has a calming demeanor which really helped with our nervous guy. Sylvie had no problems administering medication, was sure to send updates throughout the stay, and was very communicative about everything. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

“We are so grateful to have found Hanan to care for our fur baby, Wallace. From the very start she was responsive, kind, and completely on top of everything. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos so we always felt connected, and it was obvious Wallace was happy and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra thoughtfulness she put in, like providing great training tips, tidying up, and making sure everything was just as we left it. She even held off on running appliances since Wallace would be home alone, which says so much about her attention to detail and care. It’s clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Wallace, and he adored her right back. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Daniel B.

“Theresa and Adrian did a great job watching Laika. They communicated expectations clearly ahead of time and sent updates throughout the stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of.”

Hannah K.

“Mary was excellent! She was quick to respond and the meet and greet went well and she was very patient with our dog. She provided regular updates and we had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended!”

Aaron V.

“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

Colin P.

“Ivy was our first sitter we have used and she was so great! She made me feel like the dogs received so much love and attention while we were away. She also lives super close and that made both of our lives so much easier! I would book her again in a heartbeat. 😊”

Lauren B.

“Leslie was great. She sent me pictures of my dog and texted updates. I never worried once when I was gone and most of the time I was outside of cell range and had no anxiety about issues popping up and her not being able to handle it. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

Mike N.

“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”

J C.

“Dalonna was professional and great with communicating. Storm was in amazing shape when I got back.”

Ashley W.

“The (4!) pets were so at ease with Lauren, even our skittish boy cat. She sent me lots of pictures and expertly handled my mom's cat-reactive pup. I would feel perfectly comfortable leaving our pets with Lauren again!”

About: Most dogs aren't badly behaved. They're stressed, confused, or never taught how to communicate what they need. I spent a year training in person under Tess Erngren, founder of GoodDog Academy in Oslo and one of Scandinavia's most established voices in reward-based, fear-free dog behavior work, alongside my own husky, learning hands-on. That year, and everything my own dog has taught me since, still shapes how I work today. I have pet first aid knowledge from that training as well as general first aid experience. Eight years ago, my first husky changed how I see training completely. A puppy class on fear-free, positive reinforcement methods showed me that most of what I thought I knew about training was actually about control, not trust. Force-free doesn't mean soft. It means real structure, built through a dog's own agency instead of fear and appeasement. I don't use an aversive of any kind: no e-collars, no prong or choke collars, no corrections meant to intimidate. Letting a dog choose what to sniff, where to go, and when to disengage builds confidence, not just compliance. That philosophy is the same whether I'm walking a husky who needs to run their nose for an hour, or sitting with a bichon who just wants a calm lap and a familiar routine. A session with me might look like decompression walks, nose work, or simply unstructured time to explore, whatever that particular dog needs that day. I offer walks, in-home drop-in visits, house sitting, and 1:1 training, along with basic husbandry support like nail trims and brushing. My training sessions aren't about teaching your dog to perform on command. I teach you the tools and principles: communication, timing, and how to read what your dog is actually telling you, so you can train whatever you want, on your own terms. My schedule is fully flexible, mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends. I'm happy to work around whatever fits your dog's routine best, including last-minute requests when possible. All sessions take place at your home, so your dog stays in a familiar environment. I limit the use of crates as much as possible, dogs do best with freedom and choice, but if your dog is already crate-trained and calm in one, a short session is fine. I offer meet and greets whenever that's helpful. When meeting a new dog, I let them come to me rather than approaching directly, stay relaxed and at their level, and pay close attention to their body language so the introduction happens at their pace, not mine.

“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”

“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”

Esther N.

“Sabrina house sir for my two dogs and was absolutely terrific! She constantly updated me with pictures and videos of the dogs, got them plenty of exercise, and kept me updated on how the dogs were doing the while we were out of state! The dogs really enjoyed her company and we will definitely be using her again!”

Jesse B.

“Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!”

Amber O.

“Zaria was such a gift! She went above and beyond caring for our three cats—two of whom are on medication—with so much love and attentiveness. The house was spotless when we got home, and the cats were relaxed, happy, and somehow getting along even better than before we left. She’s kind, reliable, and just a joy to work with. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”

Samantha L.

“We are so grateful to Jacqui for taking such good care of our animals while we had a long weekend out of the city. Our usually anxious dog and somewhat avoidant cat were immediately at ease with Jacqui. We got pictures and updates every day and we will absolutely book again the next time we need a sitter.”

Olivia S.

“Mary Kay was awesome with our dog we really appreciate her help and loved getting picture updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her!”
