Cat Sitting in Dexter

“Our kitties, Yoko and Taz, are great judges of character. Through they are wary of some, they are totally happy to have Betsy’s care for them when we are far away. She goes the extra mile to provide what they need, even in wicked weather. It gives us real peace of mind to leave them in her care as she loves and treats them as we would. Betsy is a perfect Temporary Mom with a huge heart for fur babies.”

“Great experience! Alyssa took care of our two kittens while we were out of town for a couple of days and everything went smoothly. Both kittens seemed extremely happy and the updates were great.”

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.

About: Hello! My name’s Martin, and I’m a Dexter local looking to spend some more time with animals while finishing up my degree at Eastern Michigan. I am also a barista at a cafe on the Northside!! I grew up with both dogs and cats, a chocolate lab named Khloe, a yorkie named Jack, and Gucci the cat. I love spending time with pets all sizes and ages, and would love to get to know you and yours. Please reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting you! I’m currently working part time as a barista in Ann Arbor MI. I am available in the early mornings and afternoons after 3/4! My favorite past times are going on long walks and writing! Being able to incorporate animals into my walks and spending quality time with them relaxing.

About: Our family has had many pets over the past 45 years; horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs. My love and care for animals is abundant! I’m retired, flexible, and available 7 days a week during the day or evening. I also may be available on holidays depending on family plans. I would care for your pet in your home according to your detailed instructions. The safety of your pet and developing a trusting relationship with you pet are both very important to me.

“Melissa was super friendly, Cheyenne enjoyed her presence immediately, she communicated well and sent lots of pictures! I will definitely choose her again! Thank you Melissa for loving Cheyenne and pearl while we were away!”

“Alexis was fantastic. 🙌 First time Rover users and she made everything so comfortable and professional. She took great care of our cat for 10 days and was truly on top of everything more than any sitter we’ve hired before. Thank you!!!”

“This is my first time using Rover to get a pet care giver. I am very satisfied with the result. I would come back to Julie for future needs of visits.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was very young. I’ve always grown up with a pet living in our home which has given me the opportunity to gain much experience with how to care for different animals. I currently have two lab retrievers! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! :) I am currently taking classes at WCC which is what I spend a majority of my time on. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can figure something out! I make sure to take in any information given to me by my clients to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I will be sure to pay close attention to the pets and make sure that they are properly cared for!

“Olivia was thoughtful, communicative, timely, and so sweet with Brodie. I was stress free knowing she was the one giving Brodie some love every day when we were gone.”

“Autumn was excellent at communicating and sending photos and updates of our cat while we were gone. She followed directions perfectly and our cat was calm and happy when we got home.”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a kid. I am a medical student at UMich looking for an excuse to walk more this spring, and love animals. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and used to work at a horse barn, so my experience is varied! I am not currently working so my schedule is very flexible! Happy to do morning, afternoon, or evening walks or check ins. Whatever you might need! Happy to come to your house to check on your pets, provide walks, or feed. I currently have a cat of my own who is spoiled with daily playtime :)

“Would highly recommend Hadlie for all your pet-sitting needs. She is thorough, kind, and a true animal lover. She will treat your pets as she would her own. We came home after a week to a happy, healthy kitty and we never had to worry while away.”

Kaitlin M.

“Mary-kate is very caring and communicative. Booked her once and then once again short notice for last minute travel for work and she was incredible. Highly recommend.”

About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

About: I have been taking care of animals for 8+ years. I have many years of experience and am also a cat owner myself. I feel very comfortable taking care of pets. My aunt is a vet and always my point of contact when I have questions, so I feel confident that I am knowledgeable about taking care of animals☺️ I currently work full time, from 7a-3:30p. After that I am available to take care of your pets! I also have all weekends and holidays off! I currently have a cat and live in an apartment but am comfortable bringing other animals in. I also have past experience with staying over in clients homes to pet sit and feel very comfortable doing so.
