Dog Sitting Detroit

“Caitie was excellent. She provided me with excellent updates with a photo on how my little poodle was doing as she completed her visits. She was very thoughtful with getting to know my little dog, who is cautious around new people. I will be having Caitie back next month!”

“Jj was fabulous with Eco and sent me updates after each visit, showing pictures and information about what she had done. She was kind and took good care of my senior cat, petting, playing, and making her feel comfortable.”

“Tara was wonderful with Rosie! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Rosie was well cared for, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tara again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager: dogs and cats. I love to take care of them, my house is their home! I’m working part time job. I can manage to pet sitting anytime and any day. They will be spoiled, and I’ll treat them like my own! I treat all pets like or best than Luna. I won’t let the cats outdoors and for dogs I’ll give them a walk and play time if they’re energized. I follow all the requirements that I get from owners.

“Julia is awesome! Super nice and professional. Colby Jack was well taken care of during our trip.”

I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!

I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and sensitive cats, including shy or anxious pets. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, body language, and comfort level, ensuring safe, stress-free walks and visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with reliability, consistency, and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to each pet’s needs. I am able to plan walks, feeding visits, and playtime consistently throughout the day, including mornings and afternoons. This allows me to give pets reliable attention, follow their routines closely, and provide calm, unhurried care without time pressure or distractions. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for the environment at all times. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring pets remain secure, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I maintain a calm, attentive presence so animals feel safe and relaxed. I also respect the client’s home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Building trust through reliability, clear communication, and responsible care is at the heart of everything I do.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and was the proud pet parent of a Yorkie-Poodle named Jazz, who was my best friend and companion for 15 wonderful years. Saying goodbye to him in 2019 was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, but caring for him taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs—and that they deserve to be treated with patience, kindness, and love. Professionally, I own a client-focused business where trust, reliability, and attention to detail are essential every day. Those same qualities carry over into the way I care for pets. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved family member is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I provide dog walks and drop-in visits in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in the environment they know and love. Before our first visit, I take the time to learn about your pet's routine, personality, preferences, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. During each visit, I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic walk, a favorite toy, quiet companionship, or simply extra affection, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to keep your pet's normal routine as uninterrupted as possible. I'll always ensure your pet's safety and well-being by paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. Communication is just as important as great pet care, so you'll receive updates and photos after each visit, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer overnight stays, and medication requests are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can safely meet your pet's needs. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure, while giving you complete confidence that they're in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved companion the same kindness, patience, and unconditional love that made my 15 years with Jazz so special. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks while balancing my other professional responsibilities. I carefully schedule each visit so every pet receives the time, attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency they deserve. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while they're apart. Because I provide care in my clients' homes, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure in the environment they know best. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special requests. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before every walk, and I remain attentive to my surroundings to help keep pets safe. I also pay close attention to each pet's body language and comfort level, allowing them to build trust with me at their own pace. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of professionalism, reliability, and respecting my clients' homes. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own, leaving it just as I found it. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I'll provide updates and photos during my visits to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, cared for, and comfortable, and for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in dependable, compassionate hands.

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, from old to young. I’ve also had a cat for many years in my life, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats! I love spending time with animals, going on walks with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d be excited to meet your furry friend! I am currently a CCA at USPS, so summer can be slow at times, and I normally have mornings until about 12 pm available and any time after 7 or so available. Saturday nights and Sundays are the only days of the week on a week to week bases that I can guarantee that I will be available for overnight and all-day care. I currently don't have any of my pets living with me, but occasionally they come over from Lansing and hang out with me, and we walk around the city, go to some of my secret walking spots scattered around detroit and just hang out. Its a good time!

About: What sets me apart is my professional animal care experience combined with genuine compassion for every pet I meet. As an Animal Care Technician, I have experience handling animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I understand animal behavior, safety, and the importance of creating a calm, trusting environment. I am comfortable caring for puppies learning routines, energetic pets needing exercise and enrichment, and senior animals requiring extra patience and attention. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and provide personalized care through play, companionship, feeding routines, and observation of their health and behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and respected while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in experienced hands. I currently work for Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) during the morning hours so I’m available after 4pm Monday through Thursday and on Friday and Saturday Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and house rules. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensure doors and gates remain secure, provide constant supervision when appropriate, and treat both your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.

About: I grew up with all types of pets, and pet sat for friends and family throughout undergrad. I've cared predominantly for dogs, ranging from a young miniture dachshund to an elderly lab mix. I am more than happy to take on new experiences and can swiftly adapt to meet your pets needs. In addition to caring for pets, I have an ever growing (and thriving) plant collection in my own home and have frequently taken on plant sitting as well. I am a full-time law student and work part-time on the weekends. During the week, my schedule is flexible, providing me time before, after, or even between classes to check in on your pets. On the weekends, I typically work in the evening but remain free all morning. I also love to get outside and go for walks as much as I can and would love to have a furry friend come along! I believe caring for a pet in their own home is the better option. I think pets tend to feel more safe and secure in a familiar environment, which can help counter having an unfamiliar person around at the start. Additionally, in their own home, pets have access to all the food, toys, and other comforts they are used to. My first priority is to make sure your pet is safe and happy. I am always more than happy to adapt to your pets specific needs.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have volunteered with the Detroit Dog Rescue, so I have had experience with a wide variety of dogs. Wherever you are with your dog (e.g. training programs) I will follow that--I do not want your dog's schedule or routine to get disrupted while you are away. I understand how to approach dogs, no matter the size. I am a Real Estate Agent, so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere, so you’re dog or cat will get all the attention! We will go on walks, play, exercise, etc. I am comfortable working with animals of all sizes, various breeds, and all ages. I understand that pets are a part of a family and I want them to still feel that way when you are gone for the time period where I am watching them. I have administered insulin to a cat before, and other medications to dogs as well. I am a Realtor so I can work from home or leave your baby for the day while I go to the office. I do have some unplanned events for work, like showings and closings, but I will give him or her the best attention he or she needs! I will follow the rules you set for your fur baby. I will be sure to send you pictures, videos, and updates every day you're away.

About: I have a family dog of 12 years that I helped my parents train. I have also fostered multiple dogs including senior dogs who were on medication and needed more attention. I am currently a 2nd year Physican Assistant student at the University of Detroit Mercy. I am entering my clinical year, meaning I will be working different shifts each month for an entire year. Due to my very diverse schedule, I would be able to pick up shifts as needed and can be flexible from month to month. I live in an apartment complex in Midtown Detroit. The complex has a large gated fence around it that many dogs go out to. My apartment is about 500 square feet and is suitable for small to medium sized dogs!

About: My family has always had dogs and from the age of about 8 I helped to potty train, crate train and care for 3 dogs. I've given many baths, administered lots of medication, clipped many nails and cleaned up many accidents. I've cared for senior dogs, puppies and everything in between. Now I have a dog all to my own and she thrives everyday! She's potty trained and crate trained and knows her basic manners and how to shake paws. I really just love dogs and would love the opportunity to make someone's pet feel special and cared for in their absence! I work from home, so I'm always at home with my own pet. I'm very flexible and free just about any time. I have reliable transportation and am always timely. I carefully follow all instructions left by pet parents and if I feel uncomfortable or unclear, I will always reach out to ask for guidance. I personally never walk my own dog off leash, as I worry about her safety and the safety of others, so I would always keep your dog on a leash. I love the dog park but if that is not your dog's speed, I love leisurely on leash strolls as well. I walk my own dog about an hour everyday so I'm always free to help get your puppy some exercise! I always carry water on walks and know when dogs get overwhelmed and/or tired.
