Callie checked on our 2 kitties over the holidays. We so appreciated her visiting them during a busy time, and they enjoyed their time with her as always.

We are always so grateful for the love and care Jeannette provides to our cat! Every time we come home, we can tell that he had a really fun time with her, getting spoiled by treats and cuddles! We’ve known Jeannette for a few years at this point and it means a lot of have such a kind and caring person in our lives and our cat’s life. We always feel very confident and at peace knowing he is in her care.

was great with meeting the cats and sending good updates. she was super great at helping cover/adapt after a miscommunication on my part and visited early to meet the cats (who were super comfortable with her). always sent around 12 or 14 photos with the cats, their litter and food before and after refreshing. She was also great with handling one of my cats medical symptoms with the litter, and communicated quickly. Thanks!

I am extremely grateful for the services I received from Lukis! Warm, professional, always timely. Great communication - with both me and my little old companions! My two elderly cats were under excellent care by someone who obviously has a genuine love for animals. Thank you for your cute notes and pictures - as well as your updates and assurance - while you cared for my cats, Lukis! You went above and beyond!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve rescued a senior pit bull, cared for a 115-lb Giant Schnauzer, and given oral medications when needed — so I’m comfortable with pups who need a little extra attention or special care. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog gets the love, playtime, and snuggles they deserve. 🐾 By day, I’m a full-time risk professional… by nights and weekends, I’m all about pets! 🐾 Evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays, anytime fun on weekends play, snuggles, and belly rubs included. 😸🐶 Pets staying in my home will be treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, reinforcing training routines, or simply offering extra cuddles and reassurance. I currently have two friendly cats who are used to a peaceful home setting. I also previously had two dogs, so I understand the structure, patience, and exercise dogs need to feel happy and secure. My experience with both cats and dogs makes me comfortable caring for different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which means your pet will have full-day supervision, companionship, and plenty of attention on those days. Even on other days, I prioritize a consistent routine to make sure pets feel safe and settled. Living right on the Detroit Riverwalk is a huge advantage for dog care. We have easy access to long, scenic walks and safe opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether your dog loves an energetic walk or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I can tailor our outings to match their needs and comfort level. Above all, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely confident and connected while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!

This was my first sit hiring Maheen, and as a pet sitter myself with a very shy cat, I have high standards of care. At the meet and greet I experienced a kind and knowledgeable cat caregiver, and after a week long sit of twice daily visits, my impression held very true. She is fantastic! Maheen was impeccable at detailed communication with me, extending grace and patience while caring for my very shy Felix to the exact considerations in my request. 10/10 recommend. Will happily hire her again.

We’ve asked Sydney to look after our cat Vernor a few times now and working with her is a really great experience. She’s very kind, communicative, and mostly importantly, very caring to Vernor. When we return home, Vernor is always in great spirits, and we can tell he got to enjoy a lot of quality time with a loving friend. We appreciate Sydney very very much!

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish (my own) and for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m attentive, reliable, and very communicative, and I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide walks and potty breaks as instructed, administer medication when needed, and crate pets if requested. I aim to keep each pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I have open availability and keep my calendar updated regularly. For longer or extended care needs, I appreciate 12–24 hours’ notice so I can plan accordingly. On Mondays and Wednesdays, my evenings are limited, but I’m available mornings and afternoons on those days. I’m otherwise flexible and happy to coordinate to make sure your pet’s needs are fully covered. I will make sure they are fed in a timely manner and they take their medications if needed. I can crate your dog as well.

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.

Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town!

Naomi was diligent and attentive to our new cat who played a tough game of hide and seek each time she arrived to check on him. Instead of throwing her hands up and saying she couldn’t find him, she took the extra effort of searching (high and low) to make sure he was doing well. We can’t thank Naomi enough for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Thank you, Naomi!
