Pet Sitting Downtown

“Callie was great and my cats really warmed up to her (even my really shy boy). She communicated daily, was able to medicate one of my cats. I felt completely at ease with Callie taking care of my cats. I’ll definitely be booking Callie again the next time I’m out of town!”

“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.”

“INCREDIBLE! My cat is so scared of everyone and we’ve gone through 4 cat sitters and she always hides the whole time. With Lauren, she came out and played and was her usual self! Lauren has that energy that makes animals feel safe. I know she’s not inexpensive, but she is WORTH IT!!!!!! Great all around, can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I loved taking them on walks, or giving pets and cuddles. I have worked with dogs of all ages! I have open availability! I work occasionally per diem, with a flexible schedule; so I am always available to serve you! I can work anytime of day. My apartment complex has a little gated park & mini dog park. I also live off of the Detroit river so I can take your pup on a nice stroll on the boardwalk.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to

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 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:)

“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’ve had dogs ever since I was a child! I currently have a 14 year old dog at my parents house in Troy so I love a senior dog :) I also have puppy watched for many friends and love to be with them for a walk and check in! I’m currently a Master’s Student (on summer break) who works evenings in the week and days on the weekends bartending at Batch! I am starting an internship in mid-May, but will be mostly virtual Making your pet happy while you’re away is my number one priority! Whether it’s an oldie who just needs some pets and food while we chill in the sun, or a younger pet that needs some play time and some walks, my goal is to leave them feeling happy. I know pets are so so important to everyone (as they are to me) so I always want to match the care I would want for my babies :)

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.

“Brandon has been super available and Star loves seeing him. Thanks, Brandon!”

About: I’ve cared for plenty dogs and cats over the years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, distributing medication, potty breaks, and check-ins. I even have my own love baby . I’m very patient, attentive, dependable. I only accept bookings on days when I’m completely available, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I plan my schedule around each booking so your pet receives consistent care, companionship, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home with the same and or even better respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit wary but Hannah made it so easy and worry free. She was respectful to my home, communicative and so sweet with my senior cat. I felt comforted that while out of town that my cat was in good hands. I plan to use Hannah again when I’m out of town next.”

“Alicyn was fantastic! She is very attentive and caring. She left detailed reviews after each drop-in, which made sure my trip was stress free. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for pets through friends, family, and neighbors, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pets with patience, care, and respect. I’m currently seeking employment while continuing my work as a filmmaker, so my schedule is flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, with availability depending on the booking. I provide attentive and reliable care in your pet’s own home and neighborhood. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for during every visit.

“Jillian was fantastic with my Bulldog, Truman! She made sure to send updates, and keep me updated with how he is doing. She successfully gave him all his medications, and notified me when he was in need of his antibiotic. I high recommend Jillian especially if you have a pet that needs a little extra care and is elderly.”

About: I am a long time animal lover with a large verity of pet care experience! I’ve looked after Yorkies, Great Danes and everything in between, owned both dogs and cats of my own (currently have 3 cats), and have been walking, sitting and fostering dogs since I was a teenager. Been through training courses with dogs so I’m familiar with training practices and I’ve also cared for pets that were sick or injured, administered medicine and cared for wounds. I love both cats and dogs and have always been great with all pets!! I’d love to meet your furry friends and help out! My schedule is pretty flexible, I just work some evenings. I’m here to help & to support my small creative business and make ends meet, I am so excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your pets! As a caretaker for your pets I am more than happy to come to your home and visit them in the comfort of their own space! I will always be tidy and respectful. I’m happy to walk, play, feed, groom or whatever your pets needs are!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my family dog, Chutney, for over 10 years, and taking care of him is really what got me into dog sitting. I did Rover throughout college and absolutely loved it, and after taking a break during the pandemic, I’m excited to be offering my services again. Since moving to Detroit, I’ve spent the past three years dog sitting and caring for many wonderful pups. I previously worked fully remotely, and while I’m now hybrid, my schedule is still very flexible. Right now, I’m only in the office once a week for a couple of hours, and starting in July 2026 I’ll be in the office three days a week. The good news is that I get to choose my own hours, so I won’t be gone all day just a couple hours! This flexibility allows me to continue giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits pretty easily into my daily routine because I currently work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office once a week for a couple of hours. Starting in July 2026, my schedule will shift to three in-office days per week, but I’ll still only need to be there for a couple of hours each day. I also live with my partner, who is great with dogs and typically home during the day since he works evenings, so there’s usually someone around to keep your dog company and cared for while I’m briefly in the office. This gives us plenty of flexibility to follow your dog’s routine, provide lots of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I also make time for at least two walks a day, along with regular check-ins, feeding, and anything else your dog may need to feel happy and comfortable. I make it a priority to make sure your dog always feels safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I give plenty of extra cuddles, attention, and quality time so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands.

“Awesome and reliable even short notice. Great communication.”
