“Emily has great communication and is very reliable, even with the terrible weather and my need for night walks. Beanie had a great time! I love that Emily really listened to Beanie when he was ready to go in and then spoiled Beanie with pets 🥹 will definitely be using Emily again!”

“Friendly. Diligent. Careful to ask about any potential issues with the dog--slipping from harness, dealing with other dogs, other people, etc.”

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and understand the basic of animal husbandry. My passion for animals mixed with my background in veterinary medicine allows me the opportunity to service clients who have pets with medical needs. I posses skills and knowledge about animals that can directly be applied to the wellbeing of your pets while they are in my care. As vet med student- my schedules are given to us in advance. Therefore, I am able to offer availability to clients that will not change once confirmed. Rest assured, once booked, your family member(s) will be well taken care of and you will have peace of mind to focus on work, your vacation or a weekend out! Safety and animals wellbeing is always at the forefront of my mind. Working in vet med we pay very close attention to detail to ensure we are caring for our patients to the best of our abilities and this will directly apply to the safety of clients animal's. I will be sure to follow any instructions and directions of owners while they are gone to help ensure their pet is in good health and safe while owners are away. Animals will never be left unattended unless specified by owners or they will be placed in a crate. Pets will not mingle with any other animals (including my own) unless permission is granted by owners prior to event. I am fully accessible if the owners have any questions ,concerns, or just want updates on how their furry friend is doing.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a small child! I am an animal lover! I am patient and kind to them! I can’t wait to meet your sweet animal! I do not work a job. I do have two teenagers and happily married so sometimes I might be busy, but typically I’m usually available! I have one cat that is inside. He is an orange Tabby and his name is Whiskey! I also have a black golden doodle puppy! He is 6 months old and his name is Chewy! We have 7 1/2 acres that he loves to run around on! ** if I am already at your place to dog sit, there will be an additional charge if you add another dog last minute.**

About: Hi! My name is Jackie and I am 32. I've dog sat tons of different dogs for years of all different breeds and sizes. I have also been a foster mom for a few shelters in the Detroit area. There are no other pets in my home and it is a non-smoking home. I live with my boyfriend in a house and his 9 year old daughter is with us 50% of the time. My boyfriend’s father is a retired veterinarian and my boyfriend is experienced with vet med as well. I work from home full-time so I am mostly always home and available to be with your dog. There are great walking paths around me as well as parks to go to. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! I work from home so I will be with your dog all day. The only time I would be apart would be for quick errands or potentially events, but no more than a few hours. I do day care and dog boarding at my house. I can also do drop in visits or dog walking. Dogs are always allowed on our furniture and beds if that is something they are used to at home.

About: Hello, my name is Shirley Gonzalez! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’ve been caring for animals professionally since I was 17 when I started working at a doggy day care facility. Although, all throughout my childhood I had pets of all kinds such as parakeets, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, snakes, and fish. After leaving the boarding industry, I decided to become a Vet Tech, to further pursue my passion. I have 4 years of vet tech experience total, some spent working in a high volume-low cost hospital, so I am confident I can handle just about anything, and have seen it all! I’m am capable of caring for all kinds of pets like Guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, to name a few; and of course, dogs and cats of all sizes. I have a soft spot for feisty chihuahuas and seniors! I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats that may be labeled as “difficult”, and will always be willing to do a meet and greet as many times as needed, beforehand to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I can safely administer medications orally, topically, or injections such as insulin. My experience as a vet tech has given me knowledge and tools that I use to ensure your pet stays safe, secure, and stress-free in a potentially stressful situation, as I understand some fur babies may have separation anxiety. I do accept drop-ins during my overnight stays, sometimes having to step out multiple times a day for a couple hours, so if that is something that will not work for your pets, please let me know so I can accommodate accordingly. I’m very big on reading body language, and I feel it goes a long way to making your pets feel at ease while you’re away. Comfort for your fur babies and peace of mind for you are part of the package deal! I’m available for overnight stays, and drop ins for any species. Drop ins always welcome! I can provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, even a bed time visit, and plenty of cuddles and playtime for kitties and pups who need that stimulation. I send you tons of pictures and updates throughout the day so you’ll never have to wonder what your pets are getting up to. If you like your update photos, ask about booking a private photo session, shot using a professional camera! I now provide full-time pet care services! We can work around your existing schedule so not much has to change for them. No routine is too extravagant! Currently, I do not offer boarding. I have a ton of in-home pet sitting experience and feel it’s easier on your pets when they get to stay home.

“Andrea is amazing! She has been walking my dachshund Penny Monday-Friday for the past few weeks and what a difference it has made. Penny was displaying severe separation anxiety which haD led to destructive behavior. I was at the point of crating her during the day which I didn’t want to do. Andrea came in at the right time with patience and love. I am now returning the crate I bought because the destruction has stopped. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I have had pets in my life for over a decade and am truly an animal person. I love taking care of animals and am excited at the idea that I can do it at least semi-professionally. In the past, it has been one of my favorite jobs. I have experience with horses, sheep, ducks, guinea pigs, snails, fish, and hermit crabs, as well as cats and dogs. This background has provided me with skills in maintaining appropriate attention to feeding and training routines in multiple species at a time. I have learned to be adaptable to an animal’s habits as they adapt to my presence. Some special skills I have include caring for disabled and senior pets, providing preventative and responsive medication, managing food according to allergies, taking care of trained attack dogs, and providing first aid in an emergency situation. I am a student so am mainly free in the early/mid morning and mid/late afternoons and evenings during the school year. I am also free on the weekends. I have had lots of experience with unique pet care, such as with senior animal needs and allergy and medication awareness. With that experience and my background in care for multiple species, I feel comfortable recognizing signs of abnormal behavior.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. I took care of my own precious soul dog for 14 years until she recently passed. I volunteer as a dog walker at the local shelter additionally. Over 15+ years of experience! I am home 24.7 as I work from home. Very flexible schedule as I own my own business. I enjoy long walks and being outside and look forward to taking care of your pet! My home is safe, quiet and clean as I live alone itll be soothint for your fur baby. It'll just be me and your fur baby all day! I will even let your fur baby sleep in my bed. Im fine with pets being on my furniture. I have a lot of blankets as well as dog beds. I also have a patio that we can enjoy the sun on in nice weather. My apartment offers safe side walks and a lot of grass and wooded areas around for lots of fun walking options. My apartment also has a gated dog park that often is empty that I like to bring dogs to so they can run around and be free safely.

“Cody was absolutely wonderful. Monty can be a handful to walk, but Cody had the magic touch. Will definitely use him in the future.”

About: I am a senior at MSU I have classes very intermittently often 8:30-2 Monday/wends and 12-2 Tuesday Thursday! I would love to help out anyone need of a good walk! I love to walk and pet sit and I have been for many many years! I have experience with all ages of pets as well as energy and size! I am a student and work only 6 hours a week and I’m looking for an extra source of income, while staying active, I am a full time student but I try to get 10k steps everyday and would love the company! I care for pets in my home by keeping them entertained with toys and being attentive to needs and behaviors going on many walks! Making sure they have everything they need to be happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and currently care for two of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I also help care for my sister’s cat when needed. What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a senior dog, including giving oral medication, joint supplements, and applying eye and ear medication as needed. I’m also comfortable teaching basic tricks and engaging dogs mentally through training and play. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, reliable, and patient, and I always treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on most weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already part of my daily life. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine for pets. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away. I have experience with crate training and can easily crate dogs if needed, as well as follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I currently have two friendly dogs, so I’m familiar with managing multiple pets in a calm and controlled environment. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like family.

“Amazing as always :)”

About: I’ve managed animals of all ages and I think of them as people!! From a puppy or kitten, to an older animal, they all need help being taken care of just as humans do! I’m diligent in spending quality time, administering medication or giving special attention to your animals needs, and I have fun with them! I’m a college student trying to make some extra money so I’d love to help take care of your animals and homes whenever you need!! I’d love to care for your animals in your home, as I have my own cats. I love to play in the yard, go for walks, or simply snuggle on the couch with your fur babies.

About: Hi! My name is Brianna! I am 19 year old pre-vet student. I aspire to be a large animal vet someday. I have experience from fish to horses and all in between! I currently work part time, I really ned a way to spend my time while not working or at school and what better way than to spend it with animals? I have experience with many different species and breeds so I am comfortable in most if not all situations. I am attentive and careful so you would not need to worry.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. I got my first dog at age 5. I watch my neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I do not work specific days or times, but usually work mornings, getting out around 2/3pm Unfortunately I cannot have animals at my college house per the leasing agreement. However, I will be able to come over and take care of your fur babies in their own environment.

“Allison was wonderful!! Reliable, helpful with the app, and interacted with my dogs (they loved her!). Sent some of the best pictures ever taken of my dogs. Much thanks Alli!”

About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.
