Dog Sitting Detroit

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.

“Was awesome with our cats and did everything to make sure they were taken care of! Our one was hiding and she stayed longer to try to lure her out to feed her and ensure she was okay! Would recommend her and would use again.”

Amanda S.

“Katherine always does an excellent job caring for our kitties. She is communicative, quick to respond, and makes sure the cats are happy and comfortable.”

“This was our second time having Mary take care of Gus and Gino while we were out of town. We really appreciate Mary’s flexibility - we had to change our schedule a couple of times, and she’s so gracious and understanding. I also appreciate the “extra” she provided in handling a sensitive package that arrived earlier than expected. Gino loves the attention from Mary - Gus is still a bit shy but I am positive he will come out of his shell eventually. Mary did a great job keeping us updated and we loved the check ins and photos! We’ll definitely have Mary care for Gus and Gino again in the future!”

“First time using Adam he did a great job and my 2 cats were well looked after and seemed happy when we returned from our trip. I will us Adam again for watching my cats.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Jackie! She’s been our go-to sitter for Nigel for quite a while now, and every time we book with her, we know he’s in the best hands. Jackie treats Nigel like he’s her own, always giving him so much love, attention, and care. She’s incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and communicative, sending regular updates and photos that always make us smile. It’s such a relief knowing Nigel is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we’re away. We’re so grateful for Jackie and couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with our boy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful sitter! 🐶💙”

“Azariah was very communicative and it’s very obvious that she cares for animals. She followed all instructions to care for my two kitties. I got plenty of pictures and sweet little messages about how they interacted with her and it was nice that even my shyest cat came out when she would come over. I’ll absolutely book with Azariah again.”

Nicole C.

“Karly was amazing and treated my dogs as her own! Would highly recommend.”

Fritz T.

“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”

Jeremy S.

“I had to extend my time out from home and Brianna was a hero to me since she accepted my request in a very short of notice. She kindly responded my request in minutes and watched out for my dogs in the next day. Thank you Brianna!”

Cesar S.

“Katherine was amazing watching our pets for us, she left us detailed notes and photos of all our animals!! We would definitely use her again to watch our pets!”

About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Allie is so kind and does great work with our timid girl. Allie is patient and you can tell she is a great caregiver because she thinks of all of the little things (like placing her keys down to say hi because she knew keys might scare a nervous dog).”

“Lauri is the best! She is prompt and very good with our German Shepherd dog. Lauri kept me informed and sent pics.”

Mariann D.

“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Thank you, Gabby for tasting such good care of churro!”

Susan B.

“Review from Jazzy the pet: I love Sarang! I am a very needy, attention seeking pet. Sarang is so patient and caring. Sarang gives me countless belly rubs, lets me follow around into bathroom. I am fed, walked on time. I hope Sarang will always be my sitter! Love Jazzy.”

“Thank you for taking care of my kitties while I was away! Paris was great with detailed check ins and pictures. Will for sure be using her again!”
