Lauren was amazing with my little guy! She took such good care of him, helped him get his meds, and was so easy to coordinate with. And she visited him *twice* on Christmas Day! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Heather was awesome. She took such great care of Sam and went the extra mile to make sure that my home was taken care of, too. She’s super prompt and courteous, will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips. Thanks, Heather!

Lauren takes such good care of our babies🥹and is super accommodating. We are very grateful to have someone so loving for them. She really wants what’s best for the pups, goes above and beyond. It is such a relief to know they’re in good hands.

Callie was AMAZING and took great care of our pets while we were away! I’m always an anxious mama & she really did a great job with updating me throughout the time she watched my dog & cat! Would 100% recommend Callie to anyone looking for pet care.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up around them taught me everything I needed to know about their moods, needs, and the little quirks that make each one special. Most recently, I had the joy of caring for a friend’s puppy full-time for six months, and that experience only deepened my love for the job. From daily walks and bath time to feeding routines and training sessions, I’m comfortable handling it all. Whether your pup is a laid-back lounger or a high-energy handful, I’ve got the patience and experience to meet them right where they are. When your dog is with me, they’re family! As a recent college grad working fully remote this summer, I have more flexibility than ever and I love every second of it. My days and weekends are wide open, which means your pup will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s a midday walk, an afternoon play session, or just some good old couch cuddles, I’m here and fully present. No squeezing visits in between a packed schedule, your dog gets my undivided attention:) I provide dog sitting exclusively at your home, meaning your pup stays in their own familiar environment, surrounded by everything they already know and love. No adjustment period, no added stress. I’m extremely detail oriented, so nothing slips past me when it comes to your dog’s safety and well-being. From securing doors and gates to following feeding schedules and medication routines to the letter, you can trust that every little detail will be handled with care.

Breanna was great! We would definitely book her cat sitting services again! We left for 4 days over Thanksgiving and Breanna took care of our 2 cats during that time. We received photo/video and the cats were very happy when we arrived home. Breanna also swept up the bits of kitty litter so we arrived to a clean space as well. Appreciate the extra care she took!

About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I provide pet care full-time, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because this is my main focus, I am available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday bookings. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care

About: I work in the medical field as a PA and also have a love for animals. I have my own dog and have grown up with dogs so I am very capable of caring for them! Caring for my own pet, Duke, and others fits wonderfully into my daily schedule. I do work during the days but often find myself coming home early. We do almost daily walks in the mornings or evenings and have lots of play time inside. Weekends are filled with outside activities such as dog parks, walks, or enjoying the day inside with friends. I live in an apartment downtown Detroit close to many dog parks as well as easy access to the riverwalk and other trails. My dog roams freely in our apartment/sleeps with us as any guest pets are welcome to do as well, unless specified otherwise by owners:)

About: I have 3 family dogs, and co-parent 2 cats. 2 of the dogs are elderly and require special attention, including medicine, watching for allergies, and specialized food. 1 of the cats is an orphaned kitten who needs special attention as well. I have experience with all kinds of pets at all ages, and have experience with caring for elderly pets and young pets including: giving medicine, giving specialized food, specific playtime needs, specific potty-time schedules, watching for medical events, and more. I currently work part-time for the City of East Lansing and am a student at Michigan State. I love animals and this is a perfect way to get my animal fix alongside my part-time job (and co-parenting 2 cats)! As stated in my Pet Care Experience I have knowledge of all kinds of specialized needs for elderly and young pets. I am able to accommodate any needs for your pets. Being able to adapt how I care for pets depending on their specific behavior and needs are something I have experience in, and can do for you and your pets!

Lafayette Park, Detroit, MI, 48207

About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.

Breanna has done very well with our shy kitty. It seemed that this booking had more times that Koi let Breanna pet her, vs. just run away and hide. Thank you Breanna!

Sydney did a great job watching my senior cat Jack. He mainly needs attention, and she spent the full 30-minute session after basic needs were taken care of giving him cuddles and spending time with him. I came back to find everything in order and a happy cat. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her!

Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos.
