“Randi was very patient with our cat and sent comprehensive updates about his food/water/litter status, which we appreciated since he has some special needs.”
“Heather is great! She kept the kitty happy and healthy while I was out of town, and I appreciated the photos and great communication. I am literally about to send her another booking request right after I post this review. Thank you!”
“Ariel was an excellent kitty sitter! She took loads of pictures and was very open and communicative about when she would be over to feed and play with Izzy. We hope to use her again in the future! I recommend her without hesitation.”
“Sage has been so amazing these last few months! My cat is always less stressed when I leave him in her care which makes our vacation so much more comfortable.”
“Went on a 2 week trip and was very anxious to be away from my cats for so long. Leaving them in JJ's care gave me a lot of peace of mind; I got regular, timely updates from the daily drop ins and returned to two happy and healthy cats.”
“Ashton took great care of my baby princess! I received consistent updates and photos allowing me to fully enjoy my trip without any worries. She was patient and friendly with my cat who is usually a bit hostile, making re-booking a no brainer. It’s very reassuring to find trustworthy pet care and I am so grateful for her services!”
“This was our first time working with Sydney and we couldn’t be happier that she’s a new friend in our cat’s life! During our initial visit, we could tell that Sydney was such a kind and good person.

“My sassy Gigi is very comfortable around Jeannette! She takes great pictures, videos and communicates effectively! Will continue to book her in the future!”

“Marissa is always amazing - great communication, thorough, and you can tell she truly cares about your pets. I'm so grateful that we found someone we can trust to give our cat's medication as well.”
“Having Raeshawn be my first-ever pet sitter was an absolutely amazing experience. They sent me not only pictures but videos and really let my young pet enjoy their time in a new and free setting. They sang to my cat just like I do, and I didn't even say that I do that. Raeshawn was incredibly communicative, quick to respond, and I could tell my pet felt as ease with them, which meant the world. I am so very grateful and would recommend them to others. In fact, I will be. Thank you!”
“Muggy loved Camille. . I had many questions since this was my first Rover stay she answered all of them. She was flexible when I had to change my time. Completed every task I asked her to do. Proided a picture of Muggy. I think we are lucky to found her and will use her again.”
About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.
About: Hello, my name is Renee :-) I have had and cared for pets all of my life. I currently have a pug mix and a min-pin mix, that I love with all of my heart. I work as a Special Education School Social Worker- so when I am not home with my dogs I am at work managing the needs of special education students! With my career being said, I am currently off of work/school for the Summer Break and would love to spend some of my free time helping out and caring for your animal when you are in need. I am very dependable, and am particular when it comes to your requests and needs. I also use this app when I am at work so I am familiar with the process and know how important it is to have your fur-baby taken care of when you are away! I Please feel free to reach out, I'd love to help! I currently live downtown Detroit, and would like to stick to that area or surrounding areas (i.e. Midtown, Rivertown, Corktown, New Center). I have availability Monday through Thursday during the day and evening. I am pretty flexible as far as time. I am not available on the weekends, as I have another part-time job. I can care for your pets in your home. I am available for stop in feedings/ potty breaks, play time, walks. I cannot do overnight housesitting visits, due to having two dogs of my own.
