“Allesha was great with my dog. I got frequent updates which were much appreciated. We introduced her dogs before the stay and they got along fine. Allesha also took the dog out for a poo break when she was being bratty. Overall easy to meet, friendly and took good care of my dog. Would book again for sure!”
“Lasya and her partner were awesome with my Bean. Sent tons of photos and updates and were able to keep his feeding need s well taken care of. He had a blast with their dog Simba who was the perfect playmate . I’ll definitely be looking to call them again in the future”
“Jess took great care of my boy, Drake. I really appreciated her kindness, care and flexibility w/ taking Drake last minute. Whenever I’m in Detroit, I will definitely be utilizing her services again. Highly recommend!!!!”
“I absolutely loved Donna! My dogs loved her too. She took great care of them, even giving them their medications without any problem. She kept me updated with pictures and messages every day, which made me feel at ease while I was away. I could tell my dogs were very comfortable and happy with her. You can really see that she loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter!”
“I can’t rave enough about the care our dog Stella received. Pallavi and her husband provided tons of feedback, photos, videos of our dog while under their care. Our dog was well cared for and loved. Highly recommend”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Whitney and Samuel took excellent care of Kodi! He was so happy with them. They sent pictures and gave updates. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Our Arthur had a great time. Natalia sent is updates and photos during his stay. It was great, he was so tired when he got home. I will 100% use her services again and I would recommend her to anyone. Arthur was in great hands and company.”
“Have left our pups with Tammy a few times now over the summer. They always come back happy. We love seeing all the photos while we’re on vacation. Tammy was even kind enough to bathe the dogs (with our permission) before we picked them up. Highly recommend!!”
“I have to thank Tara for helping me with little bear my young Sable Shih Tzu. I’m going through a hard situation right now and she helped out right away. She constantly sent pictures and text messages to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend Tara. I will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks, Tara.”
“Vanessa was excellent! My cat is shy and he normally hates new places, but he was still able to come out of hiding a couple times during his visit and even made friends (kind of) with her cat. I'll absolutely be dropping him off with her again if I'm ever away for long!”
“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”
“Shivadarshini was great to work with! When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.”
“This was my boy Bodhi’s first stay with Steven and I am very happy I chose him to sit. Excellent communication with daily pics/videos, and really friendly and personable. Making him my go-to for future sitting!”
“We had a great experience with Lisa and family, caring, reliable, and easy to work with. The dogs seemed to love them which gave us peace of mind. I really appreciated the pick-up and drop-off service, which made things so much more convenient. I would definitely trust her again and won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“Amazing photos and communication throughout the stay. Isa had a great time and she can't wait until we leave town again so she can come back to stay with Jeannette. Thanks!”
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.
“Jolene and Jeff took great care of Zen. They sent many updates / pictures while he was in their care. I really think Zen enjoyed the personal attention and big yard to play. I will definitely rebook Jolene/Jeff again to watch my dog! Thank you!”
“Our dog goofy had a really great time with Rosemarie and her family. They took very good care of him, and I am very happy to have him stay with them during our future trips. Thanks!”

Allesha took very good care of my puppy Spot I got pictures and videos every day. Sometimes Spot can be a handful since she is a puppy. Allesha always puts up with her which is very nice. Spot loves going to stay at her home As soon as Spot sees her she wants to run towards her. I am very thankful to have found Allesha
Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!
Díana was so helpful with a last minute, first time booking for my dog and cat. She is friendly, responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure pets, and their owners are very comfortable. She sent the sweetest photos and updates. We really appreciate her flexibility and great communication. Would definitely book again!
Whitney and Samuel were excellent. Our 2-year-old rescue has had some separation anxiety issues with sitters in the past, but from the first night, she felt right at home. It was nice to receive updates from Whitney and Samuel, showing our pup relaxing around the house and even forming a connection with their kids. Leaving a high-energy dog with strangers is always an additional travel stressor, but we felt confident to enjoy our trip! They were also very accommodating with a pick-up and drop off which was great as we had some travel delays. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
Miranda & Cameron we're amazing sitters! They were so accommodating with my change in schedule. Athena was so well cared for while I was away and they always kept my worries at bay with updates ( first time being away from us). Very happy with everything overall :)
Madrona was everything a dog momma could ask for! She was very attentive to banjo and what he needed and banjo come back to me after the 4 days boarding super happy and tired. She communicated with me as much as I wanted and I never worried how banjo was doing. Would definitely book again! People tend to thing my big baby is scary but not Madrona she fell in love with him just as much as i did and made me feel super comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! If you’re in the Detroit area please go to Madrona for all your dog sitting needs!
Raeshawn went above and beyond especially with some crazy requests we had to help watch our dog during our wedding weekend. Would absolutely work with her again, she was awesome and kept us well up to date on how our dog was doing throughout the weekend. Highly recommend!
